shea1y-Lindler.

On Thursday, Jan. "a, 1907, the res
idence of Mr.. and Mrs. N. E. Shealy
was crowded with very large num-
Der of folks to witness the marriage
of her beautiful and charming daugh-
ter, Miss Dollie, to Mr.. Earl Lindler,
both of Lexington county.
Promptly at o'clock appeared as
follows: Mr.. Milton Shealy with Miss
Bessie Shealy, Mr.. Ben Cumalander
with Miss Helen Shealy, sister of the
bride, then came the happy couple
which were united and made as one
in few minutes by Rev. Enoch Hite.
After many congratulations they
were all invited to the dining room.
The supper was of different varieties
and very nice. Every one was salts
fed with the time spent at the occa-
sion.
The walters were dressed in white,
while the gents wore mixed. The
bride was dressedin lovely white mo-
hair trimmed in lace ard ribbons.
The groom was handsomely attired in
black broadcloth.
The next day the bridal party went
to the groom's mothers, Mrs. Lind
ler's, to attend the Unfair given by
Mrs. Lindler.
I wish for them long, happy and
PROSPEROUS life, filled with much
pleasure and no sorrow. May God
bless them in every way as they Jour-

newspapers, vindietive towards our
county, made unjust and unwarranted
remarks about the matter, which is
especially interesting for the reason
that upon the second trial the Sea-
board won altogether. ',
The last case last week was J. M.
Thomson VS.. S. A. L. asking $500
damage for the loss of two mules and
wagon, at Weddell, in Richland
county, sometime ago, when Charlie
Thompson, the driver, was killed in
the wreck. 1t was alleged that
Thompson was hauling contrabrand

of the wagon wheels ran off the bridge

In the civil court last week the fire
damage cases Of Jas. W. and Howard
w. Connor and McGill Bros, resulted
in verdicts in favor of the Seaboard.
These are the cases tried last fall,
when nominal verdicts for damages
were given, which were set aside be-
cause of alleged undue influence by
w. c. Johnson, claim agent of the
Seaboard, for giving hospitalities to
Mr.. Luther Sease, foreman of said
jury. The matter was carried to the
supreme court and Justice Woods in
his opinion said, ''the jury box was

paid their dues promptly.
Our next place was White Rock,
where we always delight to visit, and
a large number Of citizens from this
section ware here to make theisre-

night was spent with our old friend
d. A. Richardson, where we enjoyed

where it is a fact that we have never
visited, except in bad weather. How

after serving them we left for our
next point. We were indeed glad to
find Mr.. Julius Ballentine ''busy as a

and enjoys the confidence and high
esteem of!the people generally.
We reached Irmo in due time, dis
patching the people. as they came;
and sending them away, satisfied that
they had performed their required
duty. By special invitation we spent
the night pleasantly at Mrs. Irwin
Nunamaker's, the mother-in-law Of
Auditor Dent. We regretted to find
her confined to her room, where she
has been sick for some time.
After a delightful nights rest we
opened up in Lorick & Lorick's store
Saturday morning to complete the
assessing and newspaper work at
Irmo. The merchants all seemed
cheerful and satisfied with their trade.

where we always delight to stop.
After enjoying a bountiful dinner we
were at work taking returns.

cheered with the idea of reaching our

The professor is moved by the most
commendable motives, We are assured
But. unhappily for himself, he Is attempt
ing the impossible. He reckons not with
maids or men as they are, as they have
ever been. and as they ever will be. Sweet
hearts cannot be cut out by pattern or
fashioned by decree or college degree.

Boston'S Latest Claim.

To thoughtful persons no such appalling
claim of discovery has been made in un-
told centuries as that contained in the
announcement from Boston "a few days
ago that two physicians there had ascer-
/ tained that the human soul has material
properties. These physicians have not
only proclaimed this tremendous fact,
but back OF that is the still more stupen-
dous postuiatc that there can no longer
be any doubt of the immanence of spirit
IN animate matter. This contravenes all
of the accepted theories since the days
OF Plato, the most god-like man, possibly
save one, Of whose existence history gives
convincing proof
Plato's dual system depended too much
upon pure reason 10 find safe Iodgmeut
in minds disturbed by the gross material
ism that followed the ruthless closing Of
the schools at Athens by Justinian. whose
wife was a wanton, hundreds Of years
after the death Of the founder of the
system. but whose precepts were lust be-
ginning again to find tenuous footing in
the philosophy that grew out of the teach
ings Of the Christ In the reign Of Con-
stantine the Nicene Greed formulated an
attempt at reconciliation between the ex-
tremes of Platonism and thar rank
growth Of materiaIism which. followed

Aryan race into the black abysm OF
atheism, and for more than two centuries
the narrow but forceful Roman mind
struggled hopelessly to fit itself to the
system which the supple and volatile
Greek mind had given to the world.
In our day there is only one school OF
phlosophy-that of the Germans-that is
prepared to deny outright the truth Of
the discovery laid claim TO by the Boston
savants.
II a cult shall spring from the Boston
claim. its followers will find themselves
involved in d controversy with the best
thinkers Of the age. Even granting the
immanence Of spirit in matter. it will
have to be admitted that spirit-souI-is

ing the same relation to matter that
ether does 10 the atmosphere of the earth.
This, then, would negative the whole
theory Of the cult If, however, material
properties are to be ascribed TO spirit. or

the one is only the manifestation Of the
other. and that at base everything is ma
terial Such system is suited very well

CREDIT ovERExPAEDED.
Some of the Real Reasons for the
Wall street Collapse.


From the New York Journal of Commerce
The situation on the stock exchange has
its causes outside of railroad agitation.
whether that agitation is fomented by
the public or by the railroad magnates.
but IL ray be aggravated by those who
desire to produce alarm TO serve their
own purposes. For a long time the level
of prices in the stock market was artifi-
cially high, made so by speculative
manipulatoTs who were trying to fleece
the public. It Is not certain that they
have reached their legitimate level yet.
There has been an overexpansion Of credit
and a relative restriction Of the volume
OF money. not making It actually INSULT
cient, but inadequate for the burden Of
credit operations that II was forced 70
carry.
The money market situation has not
been produced by railroad agitation, but
ii is the main cause Of the precarious con-
ditiOn Of the stock market. making It
easily subject 20 violent disturbances.
And there are men with vast speculative
interests and objects and large control
OF banking credit who are able 10 produce
these disturbances and who are thereby
helping to keep the investing public out
one Of their purposes just now seems to
be TO produce a scare OF a counter agta-
ton on the railroad regulation question.
II appears 20 be having some effect at
sensitive points. but the country general
ly is evidently not losing its equanimity,
ana those having direction Of government
policy will do well not to lose their heads.

as far as the fighting force is concerned,
and that no other branch or corps can be
considered" We might expect that this
view would be taken OF the navy by some
of its civilian critics, but to find one
naval officer talking Of his associate as
utterly useless and as not q part of the
navy because he is not fighter is one
of the absurdities which impresses Con-
gressmen with the total lack of fitness
among naval officers to suggest anything
sensible and effective In the way of legis-
lation for their own benefit II is no
wonder. when one reads such rot from
naval line officer. that the scheme for
benefiting the personnel by special law in
the late session was ignored by both the
House and Senate Naval Committees.
1t Is a comfort TO know that all line
officers do not entertain such narrow
and bigoted views, and that some Of
them are courageous and liberal enough
to agree that staff officers should have
the titles they want. without feeling It
necessary TO attack naval surgeon or
a naval pay officer as one who is rot
only useless, but who is traitor ds
well. The terms employed show to what
eXaggeration of epithet some sensitive
line officers Of the navy have been driven
by their own fury.

.NEUTRALIZE THE PHILIPPINES.
Suggestion That II May Permit For
nation of Native Government.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch
It is not necessary TO go further back
than the recent japanese difficulty 10
prove that the Philippines are a handicap
Japan would think twice before undertake
ing an attack upon the United States
proper, but the United States can be men
aced in the Philippines. There may be
dispute as 10 whether they would be worth
fighting for. but this country would not
submit TO the affront of having them
taken away. The naturalization proposal
is intended TO avoid that contingency by
the simple plan Of letting go Of them first.
To accomplish this it would be necessary
10 have an international agreement and
the appointment OF an administrator re-
sponsibIe to the powers. The island Of
Crete has in way been so neutralized.
Although il belongs 10 Turkey. in order
TO end the strife between the Greek popu-
lation and the Turkish rulers. England.

States. but the experiment was not sue

lowed. Whether it would work better in
the Philippines is d problem. Even II the
islands were removed from international
politics or danger OF seizure by any power
it would still be necessary 10 furnish a
guarantee of domestic law and order until
the natives were deemed capable Of au-
tonomy with the risk Of another Samoan
imbroglio.
This suggestion of naturalization is.
however. a striking commentary upon the
frequently heard objection to all talk Of
giving the islanders seIf-gOvernment that
the Philippines would be snapped Up by
some other power If they can be neu-
tralized under an administrator. why not
under native government When we have
carried them along so far toward seIf-gov-
ernment and the blessings Of liberty. why
convey them as chattels 10 an alien rule?
The suggestion Of naturalization may.
however. provoke discussion and lead to a
more definite understanding as to the fu-
ture OF the islands Public opinion to-day
is vastly different upon this question from
what it was when the Treaty of Paris was
signed
