YOU HAVE SEEN HIM.

OCCASIONALLY we hear of a man who
doesn't believe in anything or any
body. Nothing is ever right and ey-
erything is all wrong. He doesn't be-
lieve in churches, he doesn't believe
in schools, society is all wrong, and
the country is going to the dogs. Pol
itics are rotten, democrats, republ;
cans, prohibitionists and all alike.
The women are all ugly and immod-
est and a gang Of tattlers, while the
men are vile, uncIean, grafters.
thieves. knayes and everything else
that is bad. He doesn't believe the
world is shaped like an egg, or that l,
as made in seven days, christopher
Columbus had nothing to do with
discovering America, neither was
George Washington the father of his
country. He doesn't believe il
preachers, he says they are all takers
that there is neither heaven or hell
and that when we shuttle off this
mortal coil, it will be one long etern
al night.
Such character here described i.
misft in life's affairs, yet we hav,
them, but thank God not in grea
numbers. He is what Webster woult
define as a pessimist.
The fewer in any community tn

A CHILDREN'S PERIL.

The great metropolis of New York
is waging battle against infantile
paralysis. The reports late Friday
afternoon carried the terrible newa
that twenty-five children in New
York and nineteen in Brooklyn, dieG
in twenty-four hours ending Friday
morning at ten o'clock"
Extraordinary efforts are being
made to stop the scourage from enter
ing other cities. New York is quar-.
antining, while her entire population
is waging a battle against the terrible
disease.
The following editorial ,anent the
subject, is from the Savannah Morn
ing News:
There is nothing that rouses sym
pathy more quickly than the spread
of terrible disease among children.
The helplessness of childhood and
the suffering OF little folks who do not
understand what is troubling them
stir the hearts of men and women
so despite the news from Europe
and the Frightening skies over the
Mexican border the country turns to
accounts of the battle that is being
waged in New York against infantile
paralysis. The little patients already
have been numbered by hundreds,
and the death rate at one time reach
ed % per cent. of those stricken. Fit,

OUR OWN CAUSE.

In another column of today s
Times-Recorder appears an article
from C. J. Clark, chairman OF the fin
.ance committee in charge of the Unit.
ed Confederate Veterans reunion OF
the Georgia division to be held in this
city on August oath and 25th. The
strong article of Mr.. Clark speaks for
itself, and we commend the attention
of the people of this section to his
appeal for financial aid.
1t has been well said that the Con-
federate Vetrean has been sung by
poets and people, but he has had
less spent on him TIM any other war
rior of any other cline. The deeds Of
Lee and Jackson are the foundations
OF our southern civilization. Their
battle tactics have been the subjec:
Of study by every nation of the earth,
and well do we remember the news
dispatches which told of the Russian
success in the present war by ad-
herring to the movements made fam
Gus by Stonewall Jackson.
It is certain that Americas and
Sumter county will not again enter
tain the Confederate Veterans Of
Georgia in such large numbers. They
vii have soon passed from off the
stage of life, and joined the splendid
hosts in the Beyond. 1t behooye5
Americas to entertain the Veterans in
q manner BETTING their heroism. their
traditions and their sacrifices.
Especially does the Times-Recorder
urge the people to communicate with
Mr.. Clark as chairman of the finance
committee, or any son of veteran
who is affiliated with the plans Of
the entertainment of the reunion.

Morning Thoughts.

These perfect mornings it is easy
to look through nature up to natures
God" as the wonders of his handi-
work are seen on all sides. The trees
appearing to clap their hands in jubil-
ance over their new clothes; the flow
ers (fttingly called the Smiles of
God'O proclaiming that He who made
them is a lover of beauty; the sun
shine seeming to express the thought
Arise, shine! for thy light is come
and the glory of the Lord is risen up
on thee and intermingled with this
the breeze fresh from Gods great far,
modifying the warmth of old Sol )
greeting In considering it all, there
comes the impulse to remove hat and
say Thank You" to him who works
such marvels.
20, that men would praise the Lord
more for His goodness and for His
wonderful works"
Notwithstanding some crooked
places, this is a good old world, and
the nezt has to be sublime beyond
finite conception in order to exceed
the exhibits of Creative Power here
displayed, We are told it does thus
excel, for the assurance is given that
all we have seen or heard, o. even i'm
agined, cannot equal the reality of
that (which God hath prepared for
them that love Him." and doubtless,
when it is possible, from the other
side of the Great Divide" to I'M
derstand the why" of that which
now perplexes, we will say, God
knew the best"
So we can wait, running with
patience the race that is set before US,
looking unto Jesus" our wonderful
and perfect ideal as to the spirit and
manner in which to go through the
places.
The great Promisor says: "They
that wait upon the Lord shall renew
their strength" and the times are fre-
Quent when it needs renewing.
Wait on the Lord Be of good
courage and He shall strengthen
thine heart"

"Of course, there is no bright side
to such a picture and yet the outbreak
of this mysterious disease gives doc
tors an opportunity to study it under
favorable conditions in the hope of
RELOCATING it to the list of diseases
conquered by man. New York had
been fighting for years to reduce the
death rate among its children, and by
greater attention to cleanliness, by
giving good advice to mothers and by
more carefully guarding its milk sup
ply had compelled reduction; and
now comes the present epidemic as if
disease were making a determined at
tack to recover some of the lost
ground. Prhaps there was one place
where the demand for cleanliness was
not complied with. and from that
place spread the disease. Perhaps
flies are to blame for it all. II so,
who can say it was economy to avoid
the expenditure of almost any amount
when the suffering of hundreds o.
children and the death of scores are
taken into consideration ?"
