General Assembly Inspeois Clemson.

Clemson College, Jan. 28.--This has
been a great day for Clemson College and
for the General Assembly of South Caro-
lima; they know each other better and
appreciate each other more. The special
arrived at Calhoun on time, where the
visitors we're met by committee of the
faculty and conducted to Memorial hall.
The college faculty was in it's place on
the rostrum, the senior class and the
Legislators occupied the front seats.
President p. 81. Nell made brief, earn
est speech of welcome in which he ex-
pressed the hope that the legislators
would examine the college closely, talk
freely with the students aud learn all
they could of the institution. He then
introduced Hon. T. G. Mcleod, Lieu
tenant Governor, who responded in
most sensible and eloquent speech, full
Of patriotic sentiment and practical sug-
gestion.
Members of the senior class from the
various counties then took their delega-
tions in charge. If the provincial way is
the nearest to a mans heart they shortly
won the legislators to-day, for he gave
them a dinner, the like of which is not
often seen and still moro seldom felt.
After dinner the procession began to
visit the Laboratories, shops, etc.; where
students were at ther regular work; into
every nook and corner of the college
these men went with inquiring minds
and intelligent interest What they saw
was revelation to them; they did not
know, as many said, that South Carolina
had the greatest school in the South.
Whether or not this visit changes vote
in the law-making body in matters per-
tanning to Clemson, it will do great good
because the legislators can feel that they
know the facts. The military display
was brilliant and highly pleasing both to
the college authorities and to the visitors,
who made thoroagh inspection. Lieu
tenant Governor Mcleod reviewed the
cadets, after which they gave yells for
the Legislature, for the Senate, for Nc
Leod and Clemson.
A pleasant incident was the service of
South Carolina raised tea by Mrs. r. @.
Calhoun, and few friends in the dining
room of the Calhoun mansion, and from
the dining table IL John q. Calhoun.
The special train left the union station
in Columbia at o'clock, and be it said
to the honor and glory of the Southern
Railway not mishap occurred and not
a single minute was lost on schedule in
either direction. The trip was specially
conducted by r. w. Hunt, of Charleston.

Convention Of National Farmers Union.

j, South Union, Jan. 29.--Editors Cou-
rier: Please allow me space in your val
liable columns to say few things to the
farmers of Oconee county regarding the
convention of the National Farmers
Union, which met in the capital city of
GeCrgia on January 22d, and continued
three days.
On Tuesd.y, when the convention was
called to order at 10 O'Clock a. M, in the
Hall of the House of Representatives. by
President @. s.. Barrett, almost every
available seat was filed. 1t was said to
be the largest representative body, COM
&Ased strictly of farmers, that ever as
IN bled in the South.
There were representatives from
Florida to Kansas and from the Atlantic
to the Pacific coast. They were not all
zone gal]us boys" either, as Ben Tillman
would call them, like the representative
from Oconee, but were as intelligent and
able men as you could find any where.
On Tuesday night had the pleasure
of being with the largest body of farmers
eye~ saw, when between $500 and
4,OOdNL, them gathered in the Baptist
Tabernacle to hear Thos. E. Watson's
defense of the farmers of the South. For
nearly two hours he held his audience
spell bound
s. The membership of the Farmers Edu-
cationai and Cooperative Union of
America has now passed the 1,O00, 900
mark and Is growing faster than ever.
!, One of the greatest movements con-
corning the cotton growers of the South
Is one looking to cooperation with the
wool and grain growers of the North
west.
Now let me say right here, that If the
cotton growers ever sell any more 5oent
Cotton 1t will be because they will not
come into the Farmers Union and stand
by it's principles, which are: Equity,
J. > rstiee, and the Golden Rule. Now can
any reasonable man find fault with these
Minciples? Or can any sane man say
EHat 1t is just for the producer to take
less for his product than IL costs to pro.

Letter from Senator Earle.

Columbia, Jan. 29.-Editors Courier:
We had the pleasure of attending reci-
tai at the Presbyter College for Wo-
men last Friday night. 1t was very
creditable and entertaining. Ocopee is
we'll represented at this institution of
learning by Misses Sheldon and Strib-
ling. We are delighted to see our county
represented by such handsome specimens
of womanhood. There is no doubt they.
will reflect credit upon this splendid in
stitution and get honor to themselves.
We accompanied the legislative con.
tingent to Clemson College last Saturday.
There were about one hundred and fifty
persons in the party and every one
seemed tc enjoy the trip very much.
Many of the members had never been
to the college before and were astonished
at the magnitude of this State college.
The college is crowded to overfowing
with young men, and last year was COM
pelled to turn away about four hundred.
This looks to be an unnatural demand
for the technical education, but it has
been constantly increasing ever since the
college was opened. The dormitory will
be ready to be occupied by next session
and the college will then have capacity
for one thousand boys. 1t will r" one of
the most extensive colleges. in tn outh.
Wefell in'.company with some young
gentlemen from Charleston county, and
inquired why it was that they would GO
away from the Charleston College, the
Citadel, to Clemson. Their answer was,
readily, that Clemson fitted young man
for an occupation in life. while the other
colleges only gave literary training. This
accounts for Charleston having about
forty young men in the college. Why is
it that Oconee has only three young men
in this college, located within our county?
We cannot understand. Other counties
are sending more than ten times as many
and would send more If they could get
in. The demand for young men gradu-
ates from this college at nice salaries is
increasing.
There are quite number of bills pend
ing to change the method of handling
liquor. do not know what will be done,
but cannot subscribe to the policy of
rule or ruin that some are advocating.
The people have never voted for the
county bottling shops and purchasing
boards. / can see nothing but moro cor
ruptiOn in the loosely guarded local op-
tion bills that have been proposed. do
not think that the people want to 20
headlong into system that will breed
forty times the corruption that is charged
against the present one. ] have, on two
occasions, supported a prohibition mea-
saro and will do 80 again this session,
though we are in the minority. Those
who are loudest in their condemnation
do not want temperance, but more whis-
key! / shall cast my vote upon every
occasion for W hat believe to be in the
interest of tenn perance and for the best
interest of the people.
In my letter last week called atten-
tion to the probability of the lien law
being killed. The bill to repeal it passed
the House by vote of IS to SO, but a
similar bill was killed in the Senate by a
vote of 10 to 10.
Respectfully, j. r. Earle.

convince him-not even the testimony of a spectre. This is startling assertion. Have we ever fully realized that those words are so convincing? What was there in the life and writings of that ancient lawgiver that makes them so influential?
 The Rank of Moses.
 Moses by the law of adoption took the rank of one who was well born He was the adopted son of Pharoah's daughter. He was the heir apparent of the greatest throne on earth. He had all that wealth and position and honor could give him. He was born great. He was rocked in a golden cradle and fed out of a golden spoon and had servants innumerable to run his bidding. When he was carried forth in one of the royal chariots the people used to kneel and say, There goes the child who will one day rule oyer us as king" In the sight of the law he was not a pauper, slave or a Hebrew. He had been raised to royal rank. All that he had to do was to keep his lips closed, and he might live in affluence and inherit a throne. And yet this Egyptian prince, this adopted child of Pharoah's daughter, was ready to surrender all all kingly power Tn order to be a true fol- lower of the true God Now, every effect must have a logical cause. A man does not surrender great prize of life just for whim. There must have been some great impelling force in Moses life to have led him to serve God and espouse the cause of the Hebrew slave.
 We have read of men and women sur rendering their faith for an earthly throne, but did you ever know of man surrenderng an earthly throne for reli- zion unless he deeply and conscientiously believed in that religion? When a Ger man princess a few years ago married Emperor Nicholas and became Empress Alix of all the Russians, she renounced the Lutheran church and joined the Greek church, of which her husband Is the spir- itual cad When the English Princess Ena of Battenberg became Queen Victo- ria of Spain she left the Episcopalian church. in which she had been confirmed and baptized. and joined the Catholic church, which is the established church of her adopted country. These two prin- cesses changed their religious creed in order to win a royal diadem. But what would you say if the present Prince or Wales should join the Roman Catholic church? What would you say if he should turn from the Episcopalian church and give his regious fealty to the pope of

the most marvellous facts recorded in tle binie were those plaques of Egypt. When. AS an imaginative boy, 1 read them l could feel in borrow the lice crawling over me and the frogs jump Ing at me and the grasshoppers or the locusts buzzing about me, and l could taste the blood of the river Nile, and could feel the awful darkness pressng down upon me. But the older l grow the more these miracles sink into ,n- significance before one tremendous fact of Moses life. That fact is greater than Moses crossing the Red sea. It Is greater than Moses and the Ten Com mandments. 1t Is the fact that Moses could not have led 3,000000 Israelites out into the wilderness and supported them there for nearly forty years where there was not one spear of grass grow ing and practically not one drop of water. How did he do 1t? That fact is the greatest miracle of all the Bible. Believe that and you can believe the miraculous conception of Jesus Christ and the resurrection of Easter day and the ascension from Mount Olivet. Aye, you can believe anything written in the
 Bible, I care not where you find 1t.
 The Wilderness Was Barren.
 The wilderness of the old Testament is q wilderness of rock and sand. That
 region lies to the northwest of Mount
 sinai. mat region IS tne uTleSt feBlol in all the east outside of the Sahara desert. There is no living creature there except the venomous serpent You may have seen the horrible picture called Death Valley and Its Harvest" There in the valley where so many miners have met their death Is q poor, starv- ing, thirty. dying prospector. In his delirium he sees mountains and brooks and bubhllng springs. But sand end less sand, only Is around him. So is the desert where Moses led the children of Isreal and kept them for nearly forty years it is a wilderness of rock and desolation. How did he feed these } .000. 900 men and women and children How did he give them drink where no river was flowing? Tell me, ye scof- fers of the Bible how did this Hebrew leader do 1t unless he did it by the power of God? Why, the miracle of A dead man rising up out of his grave and testifying to you of the divinity of Jesus Christ is not to be compared to this miracle worker of the desert of the forty years wandering. If ye will not believe Moses and the prophets. neither will ye believe though one rose from the dead. Hear II, man! By Moses testimony hear il,
 Then we have Moses the prophet as well as Moses the miracle worker l wish 1 had more time to speak upon this theme.

but my time is already gone and [ must be brief. But l will say thia-Moses was not only a prophet whom the Lord saw face to face. but he was also a prophet who could lift his finger and raise the curtain which separated the present from the future and look away down into the coming centuries until he saw into the manager of Bethlehem and saw the cross and saw Jesus celestial triumph" You have often regid how Christ spoke of Moses. Did you ever stop to think that Moses in inspiration the incarna edl face of Jesus Christ? Moses not Mes sinac prophetT How account for that wonderful seHtence of Deuteronomy xviii 10, "fhe Lord will raise unto thee d prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken?' To whom was Moses alluding but 10 Christ? Was Moses a prophet?" asked q great Bible student. "A pro- phet,' he exclaimed. Why. Moses was nothing if he was not prophet. Ha saw the coming of the Messiah if any one eNer did" Yes, this miracle worker is q prophet as well. What will you do to- day in reference 10 his testimony? Will you reject 1t or will you let Moses God be your God?
 But 1 must pause a moment before close. l now present to you the most oVerwhelm Inning fact of all this sermon Some of us have not only rejected tho testimony of Moses but we have re- jected the testimony of one who has risen from the grave as well. Did you ever stop to think this text may he a two edged sworn which cuts both ways? The thing Dives asked for has been done. A greater than Lazarus has risen from the dead but he said men are not convinced We have not only rejected the testimony of a Moses in reference to Gods love, butt we have also rejected all the testimony we have of the resurrection of Jesus Christ can IL be that any one here today Is committing that awful doublsi sin? Let me close by reading the text wit Ina little change And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses, and the prophets neither will they be persuade ed. even though Christ who shall be crucihed and buried. shall rise again from the dead" Brother, is that doubt CT of God's love here? Is he in this building today? Is Jesus of the par- able speaking to thee? Copyright, 1907. by Louis KlopscnD

OS ANGELES, Cal, August 1S.-In

 Scene the Second.-Two graves and the celestial ascent of the beggar and the eternal incarceration of him who had once been king among men. The earthly paul per has been crowned. The earthly prince has been stripped of his all. Then Dives, down in the region of the lost, looks up and sees Lazarus, who had once sat at his doorstep a despised beggar, but now cherished and cared for by Abra- ham the father of the faithful, and he cries out, "I pray thee, father that thou wouldst send Lazarus to my father house, for I have five brethren, that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
