The Day of Atonement.

The Day of Atonement, Yom Kip
pur, the holiest day in the Jewish
calendar, fell this year on September
21. The Hebrew date is the 10th of
Tishri. The festival is ordained in
Leviticus xvi, 1884, and in xiii,
26-32. III both passages it is styled
"A Sabbath of solemn rest"
The purpose of the Day of Atone
ment is clearly indicated by its name,
1t is intended to complete and crown
the work of the penitential season,
begun on the first of Tishri New
Year, by finally reeoneiling the soul
with the Almighty. Implicitly trust
ing in the Divine forgiveness, the
Israelite believes that his contritiGiIi
I If 1t be really sincere, will atone for
him. will make him at one" once
more With his Heavenly Father. The
day, then, is devoted to supreme
effort to penitence. to a mighty eli
deavor after communion with the
Almighty. 1t is spent in prayer and
meditation.
1t is kept, too, as fast, in obedi-
ence to the command given in each
of the two passages above cited
where the expression affiict his
soul" must be understood, as it is
throughout the Bible, as synonymous
with fasting.
The chief, the real aim of the Day
of Atonement is the reformed life.
All the external elements of the
days observance-its worship and
austerities-are intended to promote
this supreme purpose. They cannot
do duty for it. The act of fasting
is partly to serve as a self-imposed
chastisement, and partly it has a re-
fex influence. For hunger and
weakness tell upon the conscience;
they mortify pride, break down OBJ
stinacy, cast men down before God
in humility and contrition. But
fasting does even more than that.
Taking the worshipper away from
such carnal occupations as eating
and drinking, it helps to fix his
thoughts upon the needs of the soul.
1t makes the day one of physical ab-
stinence and self-denial, but also OF
correspondingly increased spiritual
ity.
The day was observed in Kings,
tree by Messrs S Marcus, Sol Peres
and J S Eron, whose places Of busi'
ness were closed.

GOOD SUGGESTION.
Build Mills to Utilize Our Corn
Products.

Editor County Record
We frequently read various sub
jects discussed in our daily and ag-
ricultural papers about growing
enormous crops of almost every
kind, especially corn.in some sections
of our great State. In this connec-
ton there seems to be a subject of
more vital importance to the farmers
of South Carolina, and particularly
those of Williamsburg county. That
is, locating a market for our corn.
While we hear a great deal about
corn raising and lands producing
enormous yields per acre, we do not
often hear the subject of marketing
mentioned, and it occurs to the
writer that this subject should at
tract the attention of our business
men, generally, which includes our
farmers, in order that we may Gre
ate a market and in this way enable
our farmers to realize the cash mo-
ney for this great crop, thereby be-
coming more independent of cotton
as his only money-making crop.
AS it is now, our farmers can only
sell their corn to laborers, and then
in addition to this small outlet he
occasionally finds an opportunity to
sell a doctor, a circuit preacher or
perhaps some other farmer who ap-
preciates and wants few barrels of
good old, we'll matured native corn
in preference to going to his nearest
market and buying of his merchant
some of the Western or other kiln
dried corn that was shipped in, be-
cause it is more convenient to han
die.
Right here we should take note of
the fact that we are greatly depict,
ing our bank accounts by buying
such staples as corn. grfst, meal. etc,
that should be raised and manufac-
tured at home, and keeping this mo-
ney in our local banks. Very often
we hear our farmers say,what is the
use to raise more corn than is re-
CURED for their own use; wheG lneY'
cannot sell it? This is true to grest
extent, but we should not be content
to allow this state of affairs to exist
longer. We should establish mar
ket for our corn.
How can we create demand
for our corn?" is the question, no
doubt, that will be asked. Well,
suppose those of us who are forced
to buy corn, grist, meal, etc, call for
our native product when we go to
the merchant who supplies us.
Admitting that our corn product
is not in as merchantable shape for
handling as the Western product,
which is shipped in convenient sacks
or packages. yet we contend that
with the same spirit of enterprise
that q great many of our business
men display along other lines of in
dustry, we could establish milling
plants equipped with proper ma
chinery for manufacturing and
packing our corn products into con-
venient packages for market. Why,
then, could we not save nice
margin in the way of freights and
at the same time receive far better
grade of meal and grist? M.
