It is r.uxprising to us that some of the Southern editors could use their papers in saying mean things about Fighting Joe Wheeler, a man who has shown by every act.of his life that he cares more for his country than he did for wealth or his life. _ Secretary of War Russell A. Alger has tendered his resignation as a mem ber of President McKinley's Cabinet, and it has been accepted. Elihu Root, of New York, has been appointed his successor. The resignation of Secre tary Alger is believed to have been sought by tTvo President. The United States government has not yetfrestored the postoffice at Lake City, S. C., and the good people of that section are being deprived of the mail facilities. This is an outrage, and de serves the condemnation of every citi zen of our whole country. If a mob of five or six men were to assassinate the postmaster of Boston or some other Republican stronghold, would the gov ernment deprive the people of that city of mail facilities? a T ~. - From present indications the Ameri can exhibit at the Paris exposition will astonish Europe in the matter of ma chinery? whatever it may do in agricul ture and other industrial matters. The showing of American skill in heavy mechanical nonworking will, it is said, be the most complet? that America has ever made, either at home or abroad. Th8re mil be at least 17 American loco motives on exhibition, and tho exam ples of other structural Work, such as bridgen, etc., will be equally extensive. The commissioners think that the me chanical department wilt in its way, be quite as great a surprise to Europe as waa the Spanish war. Elbeirton, Ga., is going to have a car nival. The big event takes place from August, 21 to 25 inclusive. The rail roads have named an exceedingly low rate foir the round trip and 20,000 visi tors are expected to be in attendance. The program embraces many attractive features and the affair is certain to prove a big success. Among the long list of attractions appears horse racing, bicycle contests, shooting tournaments, fire works display, balloon ascensions, military pageants, brass band tourna ments, baseball and tennis games. An old-fasikioned Georgia barbecue and a big ho;:se3wappers' convention are also down on the program. Distinguished oratora from all sections of tho coun try will be present. Of all classes of people, ministers of the gospel should be more cautions in the use of extravagant expressions than any other, for it is to them the weak and the strong and the blind and the seeing look for moderation as pointers of "the Way." The very immoderate declaration of Rev. Henry McDonald, of Ath?uta, that "should Bob Ingersoll be arrested for preaching his doctrine on the ?streets of Atlanta, he would be the first to go on his bond,*' is not taken seriously by those who know this rev erend gentleman, still it shows that the Church is constantly trying to conde scend to the world and its contamina tions instead of trying to maintain a standard of her own and insisting on the world's recognition of that stan dard. Let tho ministry abandon wild, hysterical ravings and stick closely to the truth and the cause of the Master will be considerably advanced. ' mm m mm Many fathers and mothers do not re alize felly, perhaps, the true value of home iitudy for the children. The in fluence of home training is felt in every school. Take the boy or girl who hits the proper training at home, and the teacher has no trouble with . him in the school room. There may be exceptions but certainly it is the general rule. If he is taught obedience at home, he will be respectful to the teacher. But the man or woman who controls and disciplines the pupil who is unruly at home, has a very difficult task to perform. Home should teach the propriety of social life, the basal principles of true etiquette, self re spect, respect for others, a fixed pur pose to brighten life for other people, manners at the table and in the parlor, on the play ground, in the church and in th? recitation room. When a child is thoroughly trained at home in the. principles above stated, its education is halt completed. How detestable is the slanderer! By the side of him the midnight assas sin might almost be permitted to go unwhipt of justice ; for this oue aims the dagger only to take away human life, while that one Innis his poisonous shafts with the deliberate intent of ruining reputation and killing char acter. Wholly corrupt, Jte linds nothing good in others; blinded, he can not see in any life the beautiful flowers of virtue and innocence and loveliness, and therefore insists that these do not bloom. He is never happy except when impugning the motives of others and ascribing, sinis ter purposes to all their efforts. Like the harpies in fabled story, his pres ence is nauseous, his touch polluting. Often indeed he succeeds in turning some innocent victim's cup of life, otherwise sweet, into a bitter draught ; but there remains thc comforting as surance that in the end his plans will go awry and his purposes fail of ac complishment. Commend us to thc man of magnanimity, though he pos sess a thousand faults, rather than to the loathsome villifier of his kind. Pitiable, as well as detestable, is the narrow-minded and mean-spirited man who cannot recognize merit nor appre ciate worth even in an enemy. Iii the death of Col. Robert G. Inger soll, fraud loses one of its most able advocates, nihilism its trusted apostle, and blasphemy its inspired silver ton gue. He, among all modern infidels, has sown broadcast over the Held more of the tares of unbelief and doubt than can be reckoned from the human point of view. He sowed a whirlwind, and he has reaped--. Ah ! we can not peer beyond this "narrow vale between \ the cold arid barren peaks of two eternities. We strive in vain to look beyond the heights. We cry aloud, and tlie only answer is the echo of our .wailing cry. From the voiceless lips of the unreplying dead there comes no word;" but from the depths of doubt ing hearts, shattered faiths and blasted hopes rises a mournful requiem for the end of the great unknowing soul. Let us hope that he may not be meted out the harvest he has sown, for if the blood and sighs of every one from whom he struck the armor of Faith is placed on his now knowing head, he is sunken to-night beneath a raging, ever restless, turgid sea of blood with thc wailing and the weeping and the re morseful sighing of every surging bil low. . He was a plausible reasoner, yet under analysis a sophist and a per verter, fond of mystification by spe cious arguments and magical phrases. He was an advocate of purity, domestic happiness, education, temperance and freedom ; and -the unrelenting foe of canting hypocrisy, for it was through these banes to the church's spirituality that his antagonism was directed to the whole. He was a man of muster intel lect and swayed his hearers like reeds in the wind. We are told that he died as he wished, suddenly; but we can but think think that his taking off was a complete disappointment to him. Had he lingered long before treading the sombrons shore of the Stygian Hood, he intended giving the lie to all his fallacious doctrines a foolish world so eager drank, and proclaim the truth he now knows too well. The seed he sowed are still germinating. Who, then, can say what the fruitage will be? His doctrine, as pernicious as the loathed intemperance he so strongly denounced, to quote his own words, "Burns up men, consumes women, de tests life, curse? God and despises heaven. It brings shame, not honor ; terror, not safety ; despair, not hope ; misery, not happiness ; and with the malevolence of a fiend it calmly sur veys its frightful desolation, and un satisfied with its havoc, it ruins morals, slays reputation, and wipes out national honors, then curses the world and laughs at its ruin." Holland's Store. Crops are needing rain bailly. Our farmers have about ceased cultivation and are waiting and hoping for a wet spell. The health of our community is good now. We had a walk a new days ago over the farm of Mr. Chas M. Findley. Mr. Findley bought a piece of bottom land on Mountain Creek, thought at thc time by many to be almost worthless, as it was too wet even for a pasture. A cow could not walk through it with 'safety. To-day he has it all dry and between 25 and 80 acres of as fine corn as ever grows in this country, and will make something like 40 or 50 bushels per acre. This shows what can bc done in this old county when backed by judgment and pluck. If you think we have strained or prevaricated just do as we did, go and look. Mr. Findley will take pleasure in showing you over his farm. A very interesting'inedtiugof several days closed at Mountain Creek last Sunday. The pastor, Kev. Mr. Cope land, did the preaching. Much inter est was manifested, thc preaching faithful and pointed, and while the ingathering was not large, we believe the seed sown will bring forth in due season. Mrs. Josie Dobbins, of Lavonia, (ia., is staying with her sister, Mrs. Holland. Berry Holland, who has been in La vonia, Ga., for the past six months, is at home spending some time with his mother's family. We had a shower of rain last night, and the indications this morning are good for more. We trust it. will come. KmtKK. Corner Creek News. Hot, dry and dusty. Thc crops ave suffering very much at this writing, and unless they get rain in a few days will doubtless "go up." Thc health of our people is very good at present, except several of Mr. J. A. Bigby's family, who are very sick. Miss Nannie Martin, a most lovable and beautiful young lady from near Donalds, is the guest of her cousin, Miss Lelia Gassaway, this week. Mr. Furman Milford, one of Au tre ville^ promising young men, was in our midst for a few hours last Saturday. Our watermelon crop will be very "short" this year unless we get rain soon. We have been feasting on them, though, for the past two weeks, but the second growth will be small. The McAdams school here began a prosperous session on Monday, 10th inst. About 35 pupils have been en rolled. Miss Lou G assn way is still holding the reins of this school. Miss Lois Shirley, a most pretty and fascinating young girl from this vicini ty, is visiting relatives at Antrevtlle for a few days. May she have a pleas ant stay and a safe return to her home. The Union Meeting of thc 1st Saluda District will convene with the Church at Keowce on the iifth Saturday and Sunday of this mouth. An interesting program has been arranged for this occasion and a large crowd will no doubt be present. Hugh Mell wain, one ot* Abbeville* fair boys, has been visiting friends thc past few days in our midst. Come I again, and stay longer. TYRO. - Even the blind man is able to find fault. Asbury Items. The health ol'our community is very good. Mrs. Mary Moore has been right sick, but glad to say she is improving. Mr. Sam Jackson'visited kinfolks at Lavonia, Ga., last week. Miss Daisy Moore is visiting her sister, Miss Bnrriss, near Hunter's Spring. Miss Lillie Stevenson, from Town ville, S. C., is visiting her grandfather s family. Mrs. Maggie Brock, from Honea Path, S. C., has been visiting Mrs. Maggie Erwin. Mr. R. Williamson is doing some very good work on the roads in our burg. Two of Hopewell's dashing sports, Messrs. Jule Duckworth and Ben. Ashley, were in our burg the third Sunday. Ask Ben. how many girls can ride in his top buggy. Mr. J. L. Stevenson and wife visited relatives at Townville last week. Children's Day will be observed at this Church Saturday before the first Sunday, and the protracted meeting begins on the first Saturday night. Nows is scarce aud your scribe is lazy. Come up, Mr. Editor, and help to eat melons and chickens. GrRASSHOPPEU. Notes from Sadler's Creek. The weather is extremely wann in our burg these days. Our Providence prayer meeting is well attended and Sunday school also. Farmers will complete their work this week, then all that's needed is rain. We noticed among the visitors at Providence Sunday afternoon Messrs. E. Yeargin and Ab Brock from Rock Mills, Mr. Sloan Whitaker and sister, Miss Corrie, from Deep Creek, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Jones from Lavonia, Ga. Miss Emma Brooks is visiting Mrs. Whitefield at Tokeena, S. C. Master Robt. McLecs, of Greenwood, S. C., is the guest of Rev. Hugh Mc Lees. Mr. and Mrs. S. W.

CIIICY, SARGER AND JUDY. - The man who does nothing never does anything wrong. - When a jury hangs it is an effort to strangle justice. - A horse may pull with all his might, but never with his mane. - The man who ha? nothing to say isn't always conscious of it until he has tried to say it. - Algeria is the .only country in the world where the horses outnumber the human beings. - Aunt Dolly Brown, who was more than one hundred years of age, died in Gaffney on the 2nd inst. - Some girls seem to grow more beautiful as they grow older.

There is a popular opinion that glasses should never be worn so long as the eyes can possibly get along without them. There was never a greater mistake. The very first symptoms of defective eye sight, the first indication of fatigue, should be recognized as oature's call for help To persist in forcing tho eyes to perform work too great for their endur ance, is simply an abuse of the most pre cious sense we have The most eminent authority says that the greater percent age of cataract and other diseases or the eye are brought about by this habit than from all other causes combined. If you have the slightest suspicion that your eyes are not perfectly correct, I want to look them over. A defect that may be easily remedied now may be difficult later, thus a li ttl .3 care at the proper time may save you untold misery and many years of sight. Respectfully. A. C. STRICKLAND. HELP US ME! WE beg of you for help to move. Thia is no joke. Weare in cold earnest and will prove it to you. Listen while we talk, and then take your turn at speech making : We have again outgrown our panta loon breeches, (as a Dutchman once said,) and we must make dem some more big. Or to make it clear to yon, the house in which we do business has become too small to conveniently accommodate our large and growing trade. Hence we have secured a larger and more desirable house on Granite Row. Now, we have not far gotten what a job it was four years ago to lug about nine thousand dollars of stuff up here from our little old place, though the back doors were almost touch ing. And how much more of a job will it be now for us to move over twenty-five thousand of Goods clear across the Pub lic Square. We don't want to do it, and we ain't agoin' to do it. No, we are just going to make a grab-pile of it, and let our friends and enemies come in and carry it off for os. To give you an idea of our intentions in the n atter-listen : For every ten cents traded with us we will give you a help-move ticket. If you trade 50c. worth you get five help-move tickets, and so on These tickets entitle the holders to free grabs at the pile, or lc in trade for each ticket held. Nor is that all. Every little boy or girl who comes in and buys 25c. worth of Goode, or is with an older person who buys 25c. worth or more, we will give free one Hickory or Boxwood Top or a tiny Doll Baby-either black or white. Nor is this all. To the person trading the greatest number of bills, amounting to over one dollar, between now and August 2$tb, we will give first choice of two German Yokell Clocks-greatly prized as an or nament souvenir. To the person trading the most bills, amonnting to over 25c, we will give another Clock like above. Only one bill can be recorded in one day. But, Minor, says someone, you can't afford it.
