Sometimes the railroads Ret accused of being: soulless corporations,- - but occasionally some event transpires in their experience which indicates that they are not altogether soul (ess and we take pleasure in calling attention thereto in this instance and add a word of commendation for this fine consideration shown the old Vets. We believe the old fellows of the '60s will aDoreciate it. The Journal and Review. The reaction has set in. During the past two weeks ot the many cases heard in the Aiken court of General Sessions there was but one acquittal. Two important murder trials were completed with n conviction of the defendants and each was denied ? t.:ai ? hi. a ucw iimi uuu ictcivcu u 111c sentence for his crime promptly, i The people have at last awaken^^dto a realization of the deplorV situation the Southland has bcwt placed in by its scarlet list of homicides, and the day seems here when a proper regard for d human life and just punishment | for its destruction shall be deI manded of all men.

Everybody is praising governor. Harveyjor the fight be has been making fortheenforcement of law and the punishment of crime in South Carolina. One of the men in this community who has watched his course with high satisfaction, said yesterday: "I do not think anything that could be said in approval of Governor Harvey's course would be extravagant. For the first time in years the Law has found voice and the people rejoice. I did not think he would do it; but he has done it. The fact that he has kept his oath of office, that he has not thought of what effect his official course might have on - his political future, would suggest that a legislative or constitutional provision providing that no Governor of South Carolina should be eligible to more than one term in that office. Such a provision would make the occupant of the office indifferent to whatever clamor might be made by spiritual advisors, deserving dependents, /'conscientious objectors," impressionable i tpmnlo* Koarinot I w?a?u|( l IVTVU9 IU I bloody-handed men condeohned I by the law to long imprisonment I or execution.

RELIGIOUS MATTERS A Higher Destiny We are born for a higher destiny than that of earth; there is a realm where the rainbow never fades, where the stars will be 9pread before us like islands that slumber on the ocean, and where the beings that pass before us like shadows will stay in our presence forever.? Lytton. A lUonloMoil RiKIn ra nvyivvivu uiv|L A neglected Bible means a starved and strengthless spirit; a comfortless heart; a barren life; and a grieved Holy Ghost. If the people, who are now perpetually running about to meetings for crumbs of help and comfort, would only stay at home and search their Bibles there would be more happiness in the Church, and more blessing in the world. It is prosaic counsel; but it is true.?F. B. Meyer. Keeping the Heart If we are to keep our hearts with all diligence, we must be kept by the power of God and that power is not merely to make division outside the beleagured fortress which may force the beseigers to retreat and give up their effort, but is to enter in and possess the soill which it wills to defend. It is when the enemy sees that new succors have, in some mysterious way. been introduced, that he gives up his seige. It is God in us that is our for ourselves. What is it to be patient? It is in your experience and in mine a practical exercise for which life gives us daily opportunity. We are not patient when we are unamiable, although we may bear up against _ hardships with grim fortitude. - ? - - io oe patient and fretful at one and the same time is impossible. Whoever would be patient must be cheerful, and to be cheerful in the face of discouragement, to be patient when things go wrong and to maintain optimism when physically depressed are about as difficult as to walk into a den of lions or, in the words of the hymn, "to face a frowning world." Giving Is Getting Giving is getting. This principle is true in many departments of life. Bodily strength comes from its expenditure, not from Its hoarding. Every wise use of a muscle adds to the power of that muscle. An arm carried in a sling for its preservation stiffens and withers. An arm which swings a great hammer takes on i ? ?*? iHrxeueas auu vigor wnn every generous sweep through the air. It is use, not the possession ot any material treasure, that gives it the highest value. Merely to have it bears no comparison in pleasureableness with its right employment. Well-filled library shelves are of no benefit to their owner so long as the books remain there unopened. But the best volume on those shelves would have an added value to its user if it were "read to pieces," as one might say. Money gathororl an/1 Irani fnr !te mun ealra WftVM HU%K nvpi *v?
