A GEM FROM THE BOOK.

The one bright hope Of the
Jews during all the dark por-
tlons Of their history, and even
to to-day among the faithful,
was the thought of the ultimate
glory and exaItation Of their be-
loved Jerusalem.
There is such a triumphant
note Of Joy in this book, and It
may we'll be a subject of con.
temptation by those of US to-
day as pointing to a dispersal
tion yet to come.
Put off, o Jerusalem, the gar
ment of thy mourning and at
Fiction and put on the comeli-
ness Of the glory that eometh
from God forever.
Cast about thee a double gar
ment of the Righteousness
which cometh from God; and
set a diadem on thine head of
the glory of the everlasting.
For God will show thy bright.
ness unto every country under
heaven.
For thy name shall be called
of God forever, the peace of the
righteous, and the glory Of
Gods worship.
Arise, o Jerusalem, and stand
on high, and look about towards
the east, and behold thy chill
dren gathered from the west
unto the east by the word of
the holy one, rejoicing in the
remembrance of God.
For they departed from thee
on foot, and were led away Of
their enemies; but God bring
eth them unto thee exalted with
glory, as children Of the king
dom.
For God hath appointed that
every high hill, and banks Of
long continuance, should be cast
down, and valleys filled up, to
make even the ground, that Is-
rael may go safely In the glory
Of God.
Moreover ven the woods and
every sweet-smelllng tree shall
overshadow Israel by the COM
mandment Of God.
For God shall lead Israel with
Joy In the light Of his glory
with the mercy and righteous
ness that eometh from him.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because Of its great

Many Lots Sold to Negroes.

Bamberg, Oct. 15.-A land sale of
about 60 lots in the southern suburbs
of the city to-day gave very clear
evidence of the general. prosperity OF
this section. The sale was exclusive
ly for negroes, there having been
recently two other sales which were
for white people alone, and the lots
were sold quickly, and great deal
of cash was paid down. The negroes
are in good condition in this county
and are making rapid strides towards
becoming good citizens. Many OF
those who bought lots to-day are
farming negroes who are accumulat-
ing property and will doubtless build
homes in the near future.
Rev. Richard Carroll made an ap-
propriate grafton, which lasted about
20 minutes. He took as his theme
the subject, "Why Every Man Should
Own a Home" This influential ne
gro's words doubtless Influenced
many for good and the fact that his
speech was not paid-for affair made
it more valuable as advice to the
people Of his race.
Just in this connection Carroll
pointed out that in some counties Of
this State the negroes were unable
to pay their farm rent, much less able
to buy real estate. Carroll was In
the home of his youth to-day and he
has many friends here among both
races, who always listen to him with
pleasure.

Youthful Son Kills Father.

Charlotte, N. c., Oct. 14.-Col.
Robert L. Abernethy, one Of the best
known farmers and stock raisers in
North Carolina, was shot and instant
ly killed at an early hour this morn
ing in desperate encounter with his
son Reuben, aged 20, after the father
had made an unsuccessful effort to
kill the son. The tragedy occurred
at the family home, "Open View
farm, in CASTOR county and was wit
messed by the wife and mother.
Abernethy entered his sons room
this morning, precipitated quarrel
over a trivial matter and drawing a
pistol fired three shots at the boy,
neither taking effect. The son grap-
pied with him and in the fierce hand
to-hand struggle that ensued the pis-
tol was discharged twice, both shots
taking vital effect in the father. The
coroner exonerates the son. There
had been bad blood between the two
because of the fathers treatment OF
his wife, which the boy resented.

ACCUSED OF STEALING COTTON.
James Higenbotham, White, in Aiken
Jail on Charge of Larceny.

Aiken, Oct. 13.-James Higen-
botham, a white man of Vaucluse,
was arrested yesterday upon insti-
cation of the Farmers Storage COM
pany, charged with the theft of a
bale of cotton. Mr.. H. c. Hahn of
this city had lost a bale of cotton
from his ginnery a few miles from
the city and the cotton buyers of the
city were notified to be on the lookout
for a bale of stolen cotton. Higen-
botham sold a bale to the storage
company on October II and after
ward Mr.. Owens, manager of the
company, recalled suspicious circum-
stances and he reported the fact. The
bale appeared to have been repacked
and an investigation was made and
the man arrested. 1t was found,
however, that the cotton had prob
ably been stolen (if stolen at all)
from another party, an old negro re-
siding near Vaucluse.
Higenbotham is still being held in
the Aiken Jail. Payment of the check
has been stopped and the various
banks notified. The number of the
check is 2505, dated October IL, the
amount being $53.47.

A Gentleman.

What is a gentleman? Here is an
answer by Bishop Doan: "a gentle
man is but a gentle man-no more,
no less; a diamond polished that was
a diamond in the rough; gentle
man is gentle; gentleman is mod
est; a gentleman is courteous; a
gentleman is generous; a gentleman
is slow to take offense, as being one
that never gives it; gentleman is
slow to surmise evil, as being one
that never thinks it; gentleman
goes armed only in consciousness of
right; a gentleman subjects his appe-
tites; a gentleman refines his tates /;
a gentleman subdues his feelings; a
gentleman controls his speech, and
finally a gentleman-deems every
other better than himself"

STORM HITS THE SOUTH.
CYCLONE DOES GREAT DAMAGE

Property Loss in Atlanta Hundred

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. IA wind
and hail storm of cyclonic proportions
struck Atlanta at $40 this afternoon
and left a trail Of ruin and wreck be-
hind it. Hundreds of windows were
broken, chimneys were blown down,
trees uprooted and houses were un-
rooted. The property loss is estimat-
ed at at least 100000. There were
no casualties.
The storm lasted only IL minutes,
but the wind attained and held We
1ocity Of Sc miles an hour. Pedes-
TRANS were blown against buildings
and signs blown down. Covers of
umbrellas were stripped from them
by the hailstones, one of which
weighed IA ounces.
Street car trat1c was suspended for
a time and is not entirely restored at
midnight. Electric light wires strewn
through the streets make travel very
unsafe. Telephone and telegraph
wires are down in all directions and
several nearby cities are cut off.

HAIL FALLS IN AIKEN.
Large Quantities of Cotton are Seri-
ously Damaged in the Fields.

Aiken, Oct. 15.-The worst hail
storm, perhaps in the history of the
county visited the upper section of
the county last night during heavy
storm. AS a result of the hail alone
perhaps several hundred bales of cot
ton are knocked out on the ground
and much more was destroyed by un-
open bolls being knocked off.
A strip of country several miles
wide and 40 or perhaps so miles long
was almost covered by the hail. While
it was worse in some sections than in
others, all sections in this area were
more or less damaged by the stones.
The hail lasted for about a minute
and a half, during which time the
ground was covered to a depth Of
several inches with the hail stones,
some of which was as large as part
ridge eggs. The hail could be seen
on the ground for several hours after
it had ceased to fall, although a
binding rain fell afterward. In
some sections the stones broke the
window panes, and many birds are
seen dead on the ground this morn
ing that were struck. The hail came
down in an almost solid sheet.
A high wind accompanied the
storm, doing in some sections consid-
erable damage. 1t is reported that
some damage was done to the Bath
mill by the wind.
The rain was one of the hardest
that has ever fallen in some sections
of the county.
In this city no damage was done
by either wind, rain or hail. The
rain was hard, but the wind and hail
were very light.
