NEGRO CHURCH BUILDING FUND,
methodists Raise S43S Sunday For New
Building-.Riclard Carroll Writes,

The members of Bethel church of

court house Sunday, at which the vari-
Gus committees reported $i35 collected
Tor the new building fund. Rev. Rich
ard Carroll sent the church contribu
ton of $500 and in writing makes the
following appeal to the Laurens people:
~ Columbia, S. c., July 28, 1908.
10 the Citizens of Laurens County,
White and Colored
The pastor of the A. M. E. church.
Key. f. Y. Dendy, is very valuable
citizen to have in your community. He
IS good preacher and a good counsel
lor and an energetic worker.
The loss of his church by fire is a
great calamity and no citizen should re-
fuse to help him and his congregation
IN time of need. The negro must have
a house of worship to praise God in and
hear the Gospel or he is doomed to de-
struction. 1t is very important that
these people have place to worship.
j for one, though a Baptist, appeal to
all to help our Brother Dendy to fix up
his house of worship so that his people
can serve God under their own vine and
tig tree.
Respectfully,

Slow Mental Ripeninn.

Not mfrequently those mcntalities
that ripen the slowest last the longest,
and often the history of these great
men has been persistent neglect and
worldly coldness until forty or more
years have passed before their great
ness has been conceded by their con-
tcmporaries Truly "the life history
of great genius is almost Invariably
one Of sad and somber tone, walk
apart from the beaten path" Such
are the words Of one who should know
what the "doers of deeds" must en-
dure. BE this as it may, 1t is now
recognized that many Of the finest
achievements in business, statesman
ship, literature and in all activities
have been wrought by men long past
sixty. Writes one, "No strong man

ATOMIC WORLDS.
There May Be a Billion Of Them In a
Spock of Dust.

There May Be Billion Of Them In a
spook Of Dust.
How would you like to live in an
atomic be one Of the millions Of In
habitants of a world 80 small that you
cannot even see it beneath q micro
scope?
The scientists tell us that each atom
is solar system, with its central sun
and revolving planets in their orbits,
and that little atom people live and
love and fight and die there and never
know but what they are just the big
gest and most important folks that
live. There are military atomites
there, no doubt, who strut around and
get tangled up In their swords and
give orders In gruff voices; actor atom
ties who star in atomic thcaters and
are adored by lovely atomite maidens
and criticised by the trcnchant pens Of
the newspaper men.
There is every reason to believe that
life In the atom Is much like life In the
earth and that the kings and emperors
there make war on their distant ene-
mics and have their peace conferences
and their periods of financial stringen-
cy. The joke of it is that they prob
ably take themselves seriously, and,
though there may be billion atomic
worlds In q speck Of dust, there is
never an inhabitant of one of them
that knows how small he is and how
much he misses by not being a man
instead Of an atomite. - New York

Listen, princes and boyars! Is there
among you one who will wrestle with
the czar?" There was no reply, and

No prince or nobleman dared to wrcs
tie with his sovereign. But all at once
a young dragoon stepped out from

with his right he prevented him from
