He croucheth, and humbleth himself,
that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
Psalm X, 10.
Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the
humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou
wilt cause thine ear to hear.-x, II.
The Lord is known by the judgment
which he executeth: the wicked is shared
in the work Of his own hands.-ix, 16.
He hath said in his heart, l shall not be
moved: for l shall never be in adversely.
His mouth is full Of cursing and deceit and
fraud: under his tongue is mischief and
vanity.-x, 81.
Their poison is like the poison of SER

the voice of charmers, charming never SC

A LEAF FROM THE PAST.

Our friend, Sheriff J. F. Edwards, gave
US the pleasure a few days ago of perusing
a copy of the Ulster County IN. Y. Gazette,
dated January, 1900. This copy is per-
haps one of the oldest newspapers now in
existence, and it is we'll preserved. 1t is
an heirloom, and transmitted to his de-
scendants by Capt William s. Edwards,
grandfather of Sheriff Edwards.
Capt Edwards, who at the time lived in
North Carolina, was doubtless subscriber
for the paper and preserved this copy,
which contains an. account of the death
and funeral ceremonies of ex-President
George Washington, who died on December
IA, 1899, aged sixty eight years. Also, the
resolutions of sorrow passed by Congress,
and President John Adams tribute to the
deceased. The paper contains four pages,
four short columns to the page, and the
broad column rules are reversed, showing
deep black lines-the emblem of mourning.
The paper was published at Kingston by
Samuel Freer & Son, and is the eighty
eighth number.
Among the quaint advertisements of that
day we extract:
''FoR SALE, the one-half of saw mill
with convenient place for building, lying
in the town of Rochester. By the mill is
an inexaustible quantity of Pinewood.-
And also, a Stout, Healthy, Active, Negro
Wench. Any person inclined to purchase,
may know the particulars by applying to
John Shoemaker, jun, at Rochester.
November Is, 1892
The latest foreign news is nearly three
months old. The return of Napoleon from
Egypt is told:
"Paris, Oct. 14.-Bonaparte and Ber-
thier are in France, at the very moment
when the fame of their triumphs at Paris,
they disembark at Frejus. 1t appears that
he was afraid of being taken by the Eng.
Iish had he attempted to land at Toulen
and in consequence preferred landing al
Freius. The frigate in which he came was
escorted by two vessels. On reaching the
shore Bonaparte and all those who accom-.
panied him fell down and kissed the lane
of iiberty.'
A few lines state:
1.-Two Spanish frigates bound from the
Havana, having on board upwards o.
three millions and a half of dollars, besides
merchandise, were taken on the 18th o.
October by four British frigates and car.
ried into Plymouth.
1.-The British frigate Loutine, of thirty.
nine guns, was lost on the 9th of October
on the banks of the outer Fly Island Pas.

THE CANE CRoP.-The Louisiana Planter
of last Saturday says: "Much less rain
has fallen throughout the Louisiana sugar
district during the past week than has been
the case for considerable time and every
one is rejoicing over the fair weather and
hot sunshine which has come as distinct
relief to the crops of all kinds. Even cane,
which flourished more than any of the other
crops under the numerous showers, will be
benefited by the change, and the rice
planters who were threatened with serious
loss are rejoicing exceedingly. The cane
crop is reported excellent everywhere, and
the corn and pea crops are such as to as
sure abundance of feed, which is an i'm
portant consideration, especially in view Of
the probable high price for feed stuffs this
fall and winter.

WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

Philadelphia North American: The
shadow of drink usually lengthens into the
night of sorrow and suffering for the in
nocent.
Cincinnati Enquirer: Sometimes the
man who knows all about the subject under
discussion is the only guy that keeps his
mouth closed.
Memphis Commercial Appeal: mans
his character regardless of his being mar
ried or unmarried.
Christian Herald: ''There are many
roads leading up the sides of Fujiyama,"
says the Japanese proverb; shut they all
meet at the top" So it may be with our
various ways of serving God, who regards
the spirit rather than the form of the serv-
ice.
Orangeburg Is. CO. Times and Democrat:
Strong drink is the greatest enemy of man.
1t has debauched men in all the walks of
life, and robbed millions of homes of their
sunshine and happiness. Why should we
establish dispensaries so they can debauch
our boys?
Morgan City Outlook: The clique that
induced the Rockefeller Foundation to
withdraw its support after Mr.. Favrot was
removed should forever remain silent on
the question of politics in the schools. If
the office had value for the State, they
we're willing to sacrifice that value to crafty
their revenge on those who replaced Mr..
Favrot with Mr.. Bernard. 1t is we'll for
the people to know that the Office was
merely an occasion for outside meddling
in the affairs of our State school system.
Nashville Christian Advocate: The gov
ernment's report on the corn crop, showing
a decrease of eleven per cent in condition
of the crop during July, does not by any
means represent the full measure of dam
age done. The drought and fierce heal
continued we'll into the present month, and
the present condition of corn is no doubt
considerably below the August LIST aver.
age-75.S per cent. The shortage of 425,
900, 900 bushels, as compared with the CROP
of last year, must from present indications
be largely increased. It is a serious situa-
ton the farmers of the great corn growing
States face, and for the public generally
means higher priced bread and meat.
would be more serious still but for the large
supplies of corn carried over from las
year and the promise of a wheat crop above
the average of recent years.

Frank Lesie's Weekly: We are nation
of spendthrfts. Ours is the unenviable
reputation of being the most wasteful peo-
pie in the world. Frugality, the pride of
certain races, would by us be considered
national disgrace. Our prodigality is our
pride. Mr.. James J. Hill was right when
he said our trouble was the cost of high
living more than the high cost of living.
A well-known life insurance company has
made an investigation of all its death losses
after seven years fully so per of the bene-
ficiaries have either lost or spent the entire
amount received. The statement has also

the rainy day and old age.
Last year for the first time in the history
of the cotton manufacturing industry in
this country, Southern cotton mills con-
sumed as many bales of cotton as did the
mills of the Northern States. Indications
now are that the mills of the South will
make far better showing this year. From
September 1, 1912, to the close of the first
week in August the number Of bales con-
sumed in the South WASP, 795, 900, as against
2,572, 900 bales for the corresponding period
of the preceding year. Northern spinners
took 2,455,010 bales, as compared with
1855, $40 bales the preceding year. These
figures indicate that the cotton manafac-
turing industry in the South is making
steady gains, while in the North it is losing
ground. Even yet, however, the Southern
mills are using less than one-ffth of the
South's crop.

chase Price of a Scholarship

7 The proprietor Of the Banner has for

why not buy this scholarship and thus

it and the prospective student after
going to Tyler should not find every
thing as represented, or desired, and de-
cides not to enter the college, the pro-
