was pastor Of the AbbeYille A. B. P. church
for some ten years, when the College Az
thorities chose to take him from ius, about
a year ago, and appropriate his services to
Erskine College, where his education and
his art OF imparting it to others has been
of much value to the old institution from
which he was graduated.
Having been student not SO very long
ago, he has not forgotten the way to the
hearts Of the student body. By his nat
ural tact, and by bis experience in the
school room, he has, during the year,
earned o full share Of credit for the good
order and the mental progress Of those
who sit at the feet Of Gamaliel.
In his election to professorship in the
College is another proof Of the wisdom OF

MARINES ARE \.

SITUATION GRAVE

.
Washington, July 13.-Seven hun
dred marines today were ordered as
sembled at Guantanamo, Cuba, to be
held in readiness for service in, revo-
luton torn Haiti and Santo Domingo.
The navy department acted at the
request of Secretary Bryan, who ask
ed that the. fleet be prepared to deal
with any emergency that might arise
on the turbulent island. The marines
will be- gathered from tthose;anow on
duty in Mexican. waters, and from the
marine, barracks in Philadelphia.
At Guantanamo the force will be
only days sail from the north coast
Of Hayti and. San Domingo and their
proximity Is expected to impress, up
on the revolutionary leaders the de-
ment to terminate their activities by
forcible means unless they listen to
the warnings already given. The sit
uation in San Domingo has come to
be, regarded as almost hopeless Of "a
cure from Within while in Haiti con-
ditions are little better. 4
Acting. Secretary Roosevelt an
nounced today's action, in the follow
ing statement:
Numerous appeals from time to
time have been made for the protec-
tion Of American life and property on
the Island Of Hayti, which has been
by the various bands OF
revolutionist operating both in Hayti
and San Domingo. Dispatches from
there indicating that these conditions
will probably continue for some time,
it has been decided to place a small
force Of marines where they Twill be
available in case of any emergency
should. arise which would make 1t
advisable for them to; be on hand for
the protection of life and property (.
"The acting secretary Of the navy,
at the request of the state department,
has accordingly directed that the
United States ship Hancock proceed
from Vera Cruz to Guantanamo and
there land about 295 marines, 10 of
them having been taken from Vera
Cru and 1856 from special service
squadron in Mexican waters, mainly
from the New York and Texas. -.
"After landing the marines, the
Hancock will proceed to Hampton
Roads to take aboard there 400 addi-
ton al marines and return with them
to Guantanamo.
"In addition to. the above, the gun
boat Sacramento has been ordered
from Puerto, Mexico, to Guantanamo.
This action is taken merely as a. pre-
caution and it is hoped that no con-
ditiohs will arise that will require
services of this force" -
The navy already has in Haytien
and Dominican waters the battleships
Connecticut and South Carolina, and
the cruisers Marietta, Castine and
Machias. y.

PROFITABLE SERVICE.
Pastor Bristowi is Reverential
!, and Impressive. J.


We had the pleasure OF attending divine
service in the Baptist Church last Sunday
morning. OF course we would not attempt
toreport the sermon of the able and rev.
erential preacher, but it is pleasure to
commend his reverence In delivering his
sermon and in making his petition to the
throne Of Grace. During the prayer, he
did not engage in useless and foolish Ste
reotyped thanks, nor did he lay out a bill
of particular gifts that was desired from
our Heavenly Father, but he asked that
we might be strengthened In our zeal for
better service to Him.
In neither the prayer nor in the sermon
did the pastor make "vain repetitions" Of
the name Of the deity. He did not tell the
people that he would read the word Of
God" There was no one in the house who
needed to be told who was the author Of
the Scriptures. And whep such statement
is made it is a sign of both the ignorance
and the irreverence Of the man in the pull
pit. -.'t
Speaking from my own convictions, I
think the average brainless preacher who
ands it necessary to resort to vain repeti-
tions In violation of the Third Command
ment, should be asked down and out Of the
pulpit. S.. -.
My own testimony would be that some
times in one short hour hear more viola
tons of the Third Commandment than I
hear on the street in ten years.
The preacher who cannot deliver his dis
course without interlarding it with pro-
family deserves little or no respect as a
teacher.
Speaking for myself, do not intend to
make practice Of hearing men who dis
regard the Third Commandment. Iwould
much prefer, if had to listen to such ir-
reverence, to hear man who is not hyp-
oerite and who does not pretend that his
own impiety authorizes him to make the
vain repetitions which are forbidden by
the Third Commandment.

Male StenOgraphers and Type
writer's in Demand.

The United States Civil Service Comms-
sion announces that while 1t has no dhffr
Guilty in securing sufficient female stenogr-
raphers and typewriters to meet the needs
of the departments at Washington, the
supply of male eligibles has not been
equal to the demand. Young men who
are at least 1S years of age and who are
willing to accept the usual entpnce sadi-
aries, which are $40 and 5000 year, have
excellent opportunities for appointments
While the entrance solaries are low, ad-
vancement is reasonably rapid to those
mcriting it, The examinations, wh5eh any
competent stenographer should be able to-
pass, are held each month in the year, ez-
cept December, at the principal cities OF
the United States.

Blease claims that if he was elected
ne would put all negroes out of Of
fice was the merest bosh. That this
could not be done until the 18th and
the 18th amendments to the U. S. Con-
Stitution was repealed, which he hop
ed to see done, some day when the
South and West could come together
in better understanding. He said a
Jew negro clerks locked up in mail
car boxes could not do half the harm
to the people of the State that 900 ne
gro criminals of the worst type turn
ed loose on the public could do.
Mr.. Pollock said he come before the
people Of Abbeville not backed by
federal appointments or by guberna-
torial appointments, but as plain
citizen and that, Senator Smith could
have the votes of all the Senators and
Governor Blease could have all the
votes of all Ithe governors if they
would give him the voice of the plain
people such as he was himself.
Mr.. Pollock also jumped on Senator
Smiths cotton claims and ridiculed
the idea that he contributed to keep
ing cotton up when he made his cot
ton campaign some years ago and
when he passed bills to stop gamb-
ling in cotton, etc. .
Mr.. Pollock arraignment of Govern
or Blease was particularly grilling'
He spoke Of the governor having the
blind tiger king of Charleston on his
staff of his permitting I lawlessness
IN Charleston and encouraging 1t
by promoting such men to honor. He
said the governor yelled "nigger, mig
ger!" all over the State and yet when
he makes up his staff he appoints ].
P. Gibson, white republican in the
eighties, whose name appeared on
the republican ticket together with
the names of three negroes. He ex-
hibited the original printed ticket.
Mr.. Pollock is an orator Of great
ability. When his time was up there
was chorus of cries for him to con-
tinue. At the close of his speech he
was handed beautiful bouquet which
he said he would use to adorn the pc
litical temple of the state when he
had set things in order for it.
There was general comment that
the speeches as a whole were the
best that an Abbeville audience had
listened tofn many day. There is
evidently plenty of ability in the "big
show"
