Your Minister'S Wife.

Within the past few weeks four
new ministers have come to Spar
tanburg to work. Their duties are
varied but we'll defined, and they
ale paid an adequate salary with
which to buy the necessary comforts
for their families. How about the
wives of these ministers? They re-
ceive no salaries, but has it not been
the custom heretofore to exact un-
ceasing work from them? Are they
not expected to visit professionally,
not as social being, but as the
preachers wife? 1t is expected of
them, too, that they lead in the 30
ciety work of the church, the many
missionary circles, the sewing socie-
ties, the Dorcas clubs, or failing to
do all these things, she is in danger
of being called mot spiritual mind
ed"
She must hunt up all the new
corners, all the strangers that might
come in to help build up the church,
and must be very attentive to all the
sick. She must be ready to enter
tain without notice, and with a coun-
tenance beaming with hospitality,
all the struggling preachers that
pass through the town, all the min
isterial book agents, all the return
ed missionaries-she must do al!
these things and more, or some of
her church sisters will sigh and say
Brother Blank is such fine man
but he is so handicapped in his work
by that selfish wife" This same wo-
man may have (sbc generally does)
from four to ten children. If they
are neglected, while she is about
this church business-what do they
not say about preachers children:
Your preachers wife is only a
woman-with the woman's average
strength, and the average duties of
home maker and mother. She is in
nine cases out of ten an earnest wo-
maD and Christian, interested in
her husbands work, and anxious to
help him-but you have no right to
exact this public service from her,
these professional duties, unless you
pay her a salary. You pay your city
missionary, your visiting nurse, your
PASTORS assistant. Do not require
our preachers wife to perform the
duties of all three of these officers,
unless you pay her enough to hire
some one to do her individual pri-
vate work.-Spartanburg Journal.

He said he wanted to be with the

Police Lieut.. E. b. Hatcher is re-
sponsible for the statement that Au.
gusta is overlun with criminals from
South Carolina, and that the
greater number of instances, the
city Authorities are powerless to act.
In the first place, he says. there are
any number of pardoned criminals,
who have found their way into the
city from across the river" and in
the second place, the authorities are
lax in sending for escaped convicts
when they are apprehended and held
i'll the city.
Whether the recent excessive num-
ber Of burglaries are attributable
to any of the escaped or pardoned
convicts, Mr.. Hatcher would not
say, for if there were any evidence
agains, any of them the situation
would take on different aspect.
Mr.. Hatcher referred particularly
to a recent case wherein two con-
vlcts escaped from the South Caro-
lima chaingang. The customary no.
tice was sent the Augusta police de-
partment, and the two men were ar
rested. The South Carolina authori..
ties were formally notified. But the
men were never sent for. One is
said to have been a more or less
prominent burglar, and the other
was held for robbery.
They were detained at the Au-
gusta headquarters as long as the
law allowed, or longer period, and
were finally released. South Carroll
na has not sent for them yet, and
unless they have left the city within
the last twenty-four hours, they are
still walking the streets within.

Mass Meeting Called to Discuss.
the School Question.

+ Fellow Citizens: On the nth Of
January, there was a large meeting
of our people assembled for the pur-
pose of considering whaLshould be-
done for the promotion of the edu-.
cational interestsof our community;
and that meeting was characterized
by the utmost harmony, and result
ed in the adoption Of resolutions by
practically the unanimous vote of
all those who were present, which
it was thought would end the matter
for the present. Since that time
Prof. Bailey has announced his con-
clusion to establish his school at
Greenwood; and therefore it now
becomes important, and necessary,
to review our conclusions and take
further action in reference to all
matters that were discussed at the
meeting. In our judgment it is
important that there shall be no de-
lay about this matter, as weregard
it az one of the most important of
all the matters which confront our
community.
We therefore take the liberty of
requesting cur fellow citizens to as
semble again in our court house on
Friday afternoon next the 7th inst,
st 4 O'Clock; and we sincerely hope
that every citizen of our town who.
feels an interest in our educational
affairs will attend that meeting SO
that we may at that time determine
what shall be done, now that5Prof.
Bailey has concluded to remove his
institute from our midst. We do
feel that it is necessary that we
should urge our citiAsns to, attend
this meeting, for we believe that
the importance of the meeting will
at once impress upon each and all
Of our citizens the duty to be pres
sent. ( ei

Poison in the blood used to break
out into the most unsightly sores, boils,
Assesses and ulcers, but since the
Introduction of S. S. S. there is no
more trouble. And even if IT is only
a slight attack it would eventually
mean loss of hair, loose teeth, sore
gums, mucous patches, copper splotches
and the most intense degree of agony,
If S. 8. S. were not used. OF course
some cases of Contagious Blood Poison
do not exhibit the extreme superficial
effect but the trouble is they are apt
to do SO in just a day. The eyesight
fades, the hair falls out, the bones
become liberated, a thousand and one
fierce, unsightly symptoms ensue and
then there can be no question as to
the nature of the disease.

night amused a small audience. The
company certainly deserves to be
praised for the merit of its talent, and
although the chorus is small, there
are some strong voiced singers which
give as much volume as many another
chorus OF three times its size.
Henry c. Moseley proved himself
a comedian of ability. He is a good
singer and dancer, and his every mo-

Many a higher priced company has
appeared in Pendleton that did not
approach "The Beggar Prince" COM
pany either in it's vehicle or it's tai

While the play itself Is not new, it
is by no means old and it is always
guarantee of many good laughs.
Under the name of "The Mascot" it
has been presented in several coast
cities, but it has never failed to score
a success.
Miss Bertie Palmer is a clever girl,

Hermlston, Ore, April 2.-While on
his way to the government camp near
Irrigon dam, Jack Kennedy. Hermis-
toms we'll known wrestler, was knock
ed from the west foot bridge by "a
heavy piece of drittwood which was
in the fast waters of the Umatilla
river. The river nearly reached the
footbridge but was still apparently
safe to cross over but the driftwood
extended high enough out of the wa
ter to hit the bridge, throwing Mr.
Kennedy into the river. His presence
of mind however, saved him, as he
caught q cable when falling and was
able to pull himself ashore. Mr.. West
owner Of the footbridge heard some
one calling but in the beginning
thought nothing OF 1t. However, af-
ter hearing 1t several times he went
himself up the bank OF the river.
