The Old Hymns Arc the Best,
Greenville News. }

A commission OF the Protestant
Episcopal church has lately compiet-
ed its new hymnal, omitting 246 old
hymns and adding 1875 new ones.
The revision Is based on systematic
inquiry rs to which hymns are aotu-
ally sung and which never used.
"The old hymns are Enthusiastically
tho favorites," according to the chief
compiler who says that the greatest
and most popular is Nearer, MY
God, OF Thee" written by Mrs. Sarah
Adams in 1841. Next is Jesus,
Lover of My Soul" written by Wes-
ley in 1889. Others at the top are
"All Hail the Power of Jesus Name,
Let Angels PROSTATE FALL" and
Rock Of Ages" written in 1915.
Another hymn of worldwide pop.
ularity Is Cardinal Newman's Lead,
Kindly Light" written in 1888. The
year before that Rev. Samuel Smith
wrote "My Country, IT'S OF Thee"
included in the new book.
Kipling's recessional, Lest We
Forget" is said to be probably the
most widely known new hymn In the
world.
abide With Me" was written dur
ing the Mexican War, and was the
favorite of Gen. Lee. Onward,
Christian Soldiers" was probably in
spired by the War Between the
States, as doubtless was "Hold the
Fort, for l am Coming" the message
sent by Federal commander to a
besieged force.
A notable feature OF the new Epis-
copal hymns Is the omiss .on OF the
familiar "Amen" at the end OF many
hymns. The revisers objected to this
word Of prayerful emphasis being
used after hymns or prayer addreas-
ed to God and in the new hymnal 1t
Is used only in it's proper literary
sense.

Wood Water Mains Overhead.

A strange example OF waterworks
engineering is to be found in Gen.
tral Mexico in the picturesque city Of
uruapan, State OF Michoacan, accord
ing to Popular Mechanis Magazine.
Water Is conveyed from an elevated
storage reservoir to various parts Of
the city through square wooden pipes,
Whlch serve as water mains. In
stead Of laying these in or on the
ground they are elevated above the
streets In many places, so that Pc
destrlans, animals, and even thc
street cars, which are not large, can
pass under them. Another unusual
feature of this water system is that
these pipes pass right throurh houses
ana places of business in Il seemingly
hit-or-miss fashion.

Gunrdsmen Are Great Smokers.

An El Paso press dispatch says:
Next after rations and shelter it
appears from statistics compiled
here that cigarettes are necessity

In addition to this the soldiers
burned tens OF thousands OF pack
ages Of sack tobacco and cigars, and
masticated about ton of "chawin'

Due to the Inconvenience OF carry

soldiers who In civilian life were dev-

MANNING MAKES MONEY.
Sold Several Cars of Cattle Mt Fancy
Prices-What Can BE Done.

Columbia, March 31.--Governor
Manning has sold four carloads of
steers, which he fattened on his Lee
county farm during the winter, to
Western packers at prices ranging
from go to go on the hoof. The
first carload brought $50, the second
9.75, the third $50 and the fourth
go. One carload of AZ steers real
ized $4,001 for the Governor.
The best price quoted to the Gov
ernor by buyers in this State was 6 n
to cents. He sold the steers through
a Baltimore dealer.
The Governor bought these steers
last fall at around 6A cents, and fed
them on his Lee county farm during
the winter. He not only realized
good profit on the steers, but the fer
tilizer from the pasture in which they
were kept Is being used to enrich
some 1875 acres of land, which will
now produce bountilful crops.
Governor Manning pointed out this
morning the good profit in feeding
cattle for the market. He is prepar-
ing to plant good acreage of food
stuffs on his plantation and hopes
that the other farmers In South Car
ol1na will realize the necessity Of
utilizing all of the acreage they can
in growing feed stuffs.
