In Memory Of Rev. J. N. Sanders.

Rev. John Milton Sanders was
born in old Pickens District, South
Carolina, July 8, 1843, and died in
Oconee county July 8, -q07. He
was sixty-four years old vhen he
died. He had been an active minis
ter in the Baptist church of Oconee
county for more than thirty years.
While he was not learned nor elo.
quent preacher, yet he was q great
man when we know what true great
ness consistt in. He was an ear nest
and instructive speaker or preacher
OF the gospel, always giving his
hearers some message to help them
to live better lives, and how to meet
the responsibilities devolving upon
them in this life, when they were in
search of light. He was in labors
abundant until about two years ago,
when his heslth failed him aud he
was compelled to resign his charges.
He was State or Home mission.
ary for the Baptist church in Oconee
county for number of years, going
among the poor and illiterate preach
ing the glorious Gospel of the Son of
God in way that the word as
preached by him proved to be the
power of God unto the salvation of
many who were brought to Christ
and the church. His success as a
preacher was the result of his deep
piety and consecration to God and
the church.
Brother Sanders's sphere of action
as a minister was limited largely to
the Piedmont section of South Caro-.
lima, yet few, if any, have been more
successful than he in this, the great
est of all works or callingss in this
life. Many doubtless in the Day of
Judgment will recognize End &C.
knowledge him to beNtheir spiritual
father throughout eternity. A man
of God has fallen in our midst and
been taken from our ranks. But we
are assured he has gone to a fairer
and brighter world, where the
wicked cease from troubling aud the
weary are forever at rest. Uncle
Milton, as he was called by many, is
household word in Oconee county.
His life will be as ointment poured

NEW TREATY
Russia and Japan Preparing New Po-
 Iitical Arrangement

St Petersburg, July.--The signing at the foreign office here of the trea ties of commerce, navigation and fish, cry between Russia and Japan will be followed shortly by the publication of political entent4 wiping out the last traces of tha fentions and hostili ties arising from the late war.
 The Foreign Office has confirmed dispatches from Tokio on this matter, and admitted officially that general political agreement between the two states was ill course of preparation, that the negotiations to this end had almost reached their conclusion, and that the signatures would be affixed to this document within few days.
 This entente is conceived along the same general lines as the recent simi- lar agreement between France and Ja- pan, Under it's terms Russia and Japan will mutually guarantee their rights and territory. The negotiations look ing to this entente have been conduct ed with complete secrecy because or the Japanese dislike to publicity, but  it was learned that foreign Minister ls- wolsky's desires to settle pending questions in the Far East and inaugu- rate a new policy of peaceful colom- ration and development in the Rus sian provinces bordering upon the Pa cific was met in spirit of moderation and conciliation on the part of Japan, which enabled satisfactory progress to be made and assured successful out come.
 The relations between Russia and Ja- pan are on such a satisfactory basis that the recent occurrences in Korea exercised no influence upon them. Russia who herself is bound by the treaty of Portsmouth, is content to give other nations whose hands are free a chance to champion the kore- ans.

Ampersand. Lake Saranac, N. Y, Au- gust 4.-'rhe continued illness of Richard Mansfield the actor, since his return from Europe has aroused some apprehension as to the effect on his stage career. Mir Mansfield accompanied by his wife and brother arrived here from Montreal last Sunday night.
 MT Mansfield refuses absolutely to see anyone. His brother. Felix Mansfield. said:
 "Mr Mansfield, as is well-known, suf- fered q severe nervous breakdown. due to overworlS. He has taken practically no vacation for several years. The voyage to England in the latter part of May upset him. He has been advised to take n complete rest and free his mind from business and professional matters. He is convalescing slowly. and we believe it Is just question of time when he shall regain his strength and vigor.'
 There Is reason to believe that Mir. Mansheld's condition is more serious than his family admit. It Is known that fol- lowing Mir. Mansfeld's previous prostra- ton he has suffered great pain from sciatic rheumatism and has complained of severe pains in his head, probably caused by plcurisy.
