Measles &C Fort Logan.

One hundred and se~venty-five Of
Uncle Sans soldiers at Fort Logan are
under watch of armed guards, who hand
them their meals at the point OF bayo-
nets and laugh at them because of their
affliction. This enemy which has barred
the flower of the command from the
pleasures Of the garrison is nothing more
than the simple disease of childhood
known as measles.

ping streams for trout through private
lands will interest anglers generally. The
control of private property and the
ownership of streams which run through
private lands will become more clearly
established as settlement proceeds, and
fishermen naturally desire the privilege
of following running water while indulg-
ing in their favorite sport.

When Edward Payson Weston isn't

A Philadelphia physician prescribes
automobiling as a cure for weak hearts.
The theory is that it forces great guam
titles of fresh air into the lungs, stimu-
lating the heart without eXertion. But
it won't do for timid folk, who. when
ever the machine spurts, feel their hearts
lean into their mouths.

IgIOuS IIIE.
We must find ourselves again in the center of us. Then
we can attain to a unitary and powerful purpose and
will. There is a new yearning after God, a demand for
a new love. a more beautiful, a more noble relation of
man to man. There are SO many to-day that want to
loose themselves from their individualism and isola-
ton, gather together into something greater, truer,
sweeter, nobler.
The thing that is deeply going on in the soul of man
to-day will be better understood and more highly valued.
In a word, something of the brotherly sense, of the spirit
of love, of the fire and enthusiasm of the first Christian
community must break forth again as from hidden foun-
tains in the high hills of God. There will be life and
truth from the spirit in all the forms and usages Of life.
Then the estranged brother will return. The best, the
freest. the most reverent will be with us again. The
warming is prophecy of the coming day.

the little ones resolve them finally to their simplest ele-

The avidity with which children swallow the originals
of stories which we may have been doing out to them
in "simplifed editions" causes constant amazement, and
reminds one Of the remark of the old woman with whom
a book agent had left a commentary on the Bible. Sure
it's a fine book, and the Bible do make it wonderfully

In spite of the floods Of new books that are yearly

is mysterious and impossible to explain.

The recent report by steamers concern
ing schools of big turtles at sea has, as
might been expected, developed turtle en-
terprise on the part of seafaring men on
the coast. The two veteran cup-detend-
ers Volunteer and Vigilant have been
purchased and will be fitted out for tur-
tie expeditions. The sea turtle has going
powers superior to his land brother, but
not enough to test the speed of cup-de-
fence yachts. The reason why the
yachts were purchased is that they were
offered at low prices, and can be handled
readily in sailing through schools of tur-
ties. The Vigilant is of steel and Tobin
bronze, and will constitute a beautiful
turtle can, from a nautical standpoint.

Rembert. Sept 5.-The rain still
continues and l think this is about
the end of ninety days rain with a
very few days of sunshine. The
heavy rains of few days ago COM
pletely ruined the cotton crop. Only
stiff lands have stood the continued
down pour of rainH while all the
sandy lands have completely failed,
which will cut the cotton crop with
the majority of the farmers very
short.
There is good deal of fever in our
section, and the doctors are kept
busy although we are alredy overbur-
dened with debts.
This is September and there are
no cotton gins running in our section.
This Is unusual for we generally gath
er about one-fifth of our cotton in
August.
The merchants are wide awake
and are filling up their stores with
everything that they think will in
duce or entice trade. These stores
are so numerous until we would not
be far wrong to say that every body
isin the business and there are none
left except the laborers to buy.
We understand that in the near
future the lands around Remberr
station will be cut up in lots and sold
at auction by Mr.. Edward E. Rem
bert, with a view to establishing
town here. Lots for churches and
school buildings will be given free by
Mr.. Rembert. We hope to live to see
this come to pass, for Rembert is
a beautiful place for a town, being
eighteen miles from Sumter, twelve
miles from Camden and twenty three
miles from Bishopville. Rembert is
a beautiful place for the erection Of a
cotton oil mill, the establishing of
bank, the marketing of our crops
and merchandising generally.
We hope Mr.. Rembert will soon
throw open the doors at Rembert to
the world. which would with the
many advantages offered here) soon
become a beautiful and thriving
town to the benefit of the business
men. and to our energetic farmers.
