The Sunday-schooI as a
 Missionary Society.

them, solo, duet, or quartet might be rendered either by grown up persons or children. Missionary recitations or read ings are always inspiring. A missionary exhibit could some. times be made the program, us, ing charts and maps, and now and then introducing relics or curios from foreign countries. A missionary "Quiz," conducted by some competent person, would make splendid program for one day. A missionary address by the pastor could sometimes be made part of the program. It is by no means fair for us to fail on the program an6 then call on the pastor to fill up the time. He needs time for preparation. A letter from one of missionaries can often be introduced with profit if read by a good reader. It will sometimes be found prof itable to invite some one who is not in our school to visit us and make talk on missions. The Sunday school is a fine seed field for tue ladies of our missionary society. What better thing could they do, than now and then upon invitation from the mis sionary officers or program com mittee of the school send some capable representative to tell us about their work?
 Indeed, the possibilities for ir- creasing the interest in our mis slonary programs, and for en- larging our work are boundless.
 Finally, our monthly mission, ary programs should be looked upon as a monthly rally of our forces. Our missionary studies, prayers andsactivities, should be unceasing. Let us devise meth ods of keeping them up every day. The placing of missionary books, periodicals and tracts in ! all our homes will be found helpful method. The holding of an occasional mid week mission ary concert or entertainment with silver offering or small at- mission fee, so far from debasing the work of missions could hard 1 ly fail to increase interest and liberality toward this great cause. Our school ought to own a missionary library, and up to- date missionary statistics and charts ought to adorn the walls of our church. These are a few suggestions. The wisdom of our officers will be able to devise many moresand better things for us.

DROWNED WHILE FISHING.
JEFF Burgess Loses His Life in Very
Small Stream near Gaffney.

Gaffney, Sept. 19.-Jeff Burgess, a
white man Of this city, 32 years Of
age, lost his life in Peoples creek
about a mile out Of the city, today.
Burgess started out early this
morning on fishing trip. He was ac-
companied by lad from one Of the
mill villages. who stayed with him
until noon, when the boy left, return
ing to his home. About O'Clock as
two negroes were passing by they
saw part Of his body and succeeded
In getting him out. The water was
not over waist deep and part of the
dead mans clothing was not touched
by the water. Burgess was affected
with epileptic fits, and it is presumed
that he was seized with one while
standing on the bank Of the stream
and fell in, being drowned before he
could summon assistance. Coroner
Viensett went to the scene but did
not hold an inquest, as there was no
evidence of foul play.

FEARS EQUAL SUFFRAGE.
Cardinal Gibbons Thinks 1t Wou,d
Encourage Divorce. Greatest of
Evils.

st. Louis, Sept. 1S.-Cardinal Glib
pohs told 800 men at the City CLUB
luncheon this afternoon that if a his
torian ever wrote the Decline and
Fall Of the American Republic" he
would not attribute it to an invading
army but to criminal sloth and negli-
gence and to the political apostasy of
American citizens.
Before his address he said in an al-
thorEed interview:
Equal suffrage, in my opinion
would tend toward increasing divorce,
which is social blot on the United
States and is the greatest evil of the
day.
III women had equal political rights
with men, there is a probability that
on the slightest provocation they
would seek divorce. Given such equal
ity, they might overstep the bounds.
Women under present conditions are
too prone to go to the divorce courts.
"HN P"ii'iS"i SIudIity might make
them more so. 1t might have the ef
feet Of turning their heads.
Divorce is now too easy to get. l.
husband leaves home for a couple
or weeks and his wife wants freedom.
she Is likely to use his absence as q
pretext. Nowadays, If a woman can
not get divorce in her own State she
goes off to Nevada, where it is made
easy
"One Of the worst features of the
divorce evil Is its bad effect upon
children. When parents separate. it
means separation Of children. Of
brothers and sisters. Children thus
bereft of proper family influences are
liable to go astray.
Divorce is increasing in the United
States. The evil prevails here more
generally than in any other country
We must get back to the Gospel. The
laws should be made more strict. so
that it would not be so easy to dis
rupt the marriage ties on fiimsy pre-
texts"

UMBRELLA SALESMAN WANTED.
Sold Number Of Umbrellas to Town
Matrons, Part Payment In Advance.

1t Is understood that several weeks
ago, some two months or at least six
weeks ago, a good looking and pre-
possessing young man visited this city
and went around to number Of
houses selling beautiful silk umbrellas
for dollar each. However, the young
man did not carry the umbrellas along
with him, that was too cumbersome.
He took the orders and fifty cents in
advance and was to deliver the UNI
brellas at some time in the near fu-
ture.
There were several matrOns around
town who were so pleased with the
young man and his really good UNI
brellas. which were silk and were to
nave the name Of the owner ensrav-
ed on the handle. sold on such rea
sonable terms, that they ordered quite
number of them. However, the
young man did not remain in town
long and up to date he has not re-
turned, nor have the umbrellas been
delivered, and that was fully six weeks
ago. 1t is stated that some Of the
persons who ordered have not yet
FORGOTTEN the young man and are still
hoping for his return and the receipt
OF their beautiful umbrellas.
