At the monthly meeting of the ( hajnber of Commerce Wednesday it iKli ? , the Secret afy read u telegram from the official* of the Southern Hallway, udling or the proposed changes of the Bout hern Railway, which I II take place on the 26th, Inst, A train will leave Columbia at hIx o'clock in the morning ami connect, with the Charleston train at Kingvllle and reach Canulen at 8:liu Mall from Charleston, Orangeburg, and points this Hide of Columbia will reach Camden, Kershaw, Heath Springs and Lancaster nearly five hours earlier than by the present schedule. It is impossible now to no to any point north of Camden and return the same day. The new schedule will make It possible to go north as far as Hock Hill and spend two hours and return here at 3:40. This southbound train will make connection with the C/Olumbia-Char teuton train at Kingvllle and avoid a long wait. It will continue to Co lumbia. The southbound ten o'clock and the 1:40 north bound schedule will remain the same, which is also satisfactory to 4 he people here. The Southern has been promising this change for sometime. The change will no doubt Increase their buslnes* here. A letter from the River Naviga tion Department at Charleston stat ed that the snag boat "Wateree" would be completed by fall. The Chamber will send a large delegation in automobles to Sumter at the hearing of the Northwest ern Railway before the Railroad Commission. They want better rail way service for Camden over this road, and hope that the trip will be beneficial to the -ity The "tenative" schedule of the Seaboard railroad was discussed. It ^as decided to confer with the com mercial bodies of Darlington, McHee and Florence in reference to -re questing a new schedule. The con nections at McBee it is said do not suR the patrons of the railroad be tween McBee and Florence. In ask ing for a new schedule, the Chambe here wants one that will suit all towns between Hamlet and Columbi The Seaboard has suffered fronithe Iosb of traffic among the tourisT~T3y^ its present schedule. ^J1 of the ho tels employ white help. When they were ready to migrate North last month, they had special cars put on for their benefit on the Southern and taken to Rock Hill and coupled to the train on the main line there. One of the members stated that this one relay of passengers had cos the Seaboard $2,000 In sale of tick ets, which ordinarily would h ave gone by that road. This is only one instance in the loss of tourist trade that prefer to travel by the Seaboar going Nbrth, but would not on ac count of the poor schedule. Letters were read from the River Navigation officers in Charleston in reference to the piers of the river bridge causing the river to change its course and to wash the pfiblic highways and plantations. One of the members stated' that this change of the channel of the river may eventually cause the County to build a new bridge over the river. Then too it is filling up the chanel in high water, making it detrimental to navigation. The officials stated that they would look Into the mat ter. Kicks were made against' the tele phone service and the manager be ting present assured the body that it was temporary and that he would look into it and rectify It at once. The chairman of the road commit tee stated that M. C. West, Super visor of the County, said he was three mnoths behind with hie road work, due to wet weather, and that he would commence work on the road near the river as soon as possible. If he could not build a new road, he wtould plant hedges on the side and place logs parallel to avoid washing any more at high win ter. A letter to the Secretary from Mr. Richards, the Land and IndustVial agent of the Southern" Railway, stat ed that home-seekers rates to Cam Men from Washington would be granted for $13.76 round trip on May 7th to 21st, June 4th to 18th, July 2nd to 16th, August 6th to 20, September 3rd to 17th, October 1st to 16th, and November 6th to 19th.

Bald Elizabeth.. "Hut what 'a the Joke?" "Jim Wharton's the joke," replied llenshaw. "I don't suppose he ever took a girl anywhere In his life, lie boards where I do." The night of the party Jim's cos tome was certainly irreproachable, an4 but for a certain shyness, which troubled him more than It did any one else, his manners were irreproachable, Elizabeth was the most tact.nl of her sex, so, when she found that her attempts at conversation soemed merely to startle and embarrass her escort, she alked most of the time to llensbaw and Pauline Curtis, who were her neighbors on the other side. Helng thus left to himself, Jim was fvee to enjoy the play. It was several minutes after the curtain bud fallen on the final act be fore Elizabeth, who had been busily 'collecting her possessions, looked around in search of Jim and dlscov ered that there was no such person anywhere to be seen. She gave a lit tle gurgle of mingled surprise and amusement. Ilenshaw turned toward her at the soy/id, and when he saw the vacant chair he, too, laughed. "You followed instructions too well, Elizabeth." he said. "I didn't mean for you to obliterate yourself bo en tirely that he could go beating It ofl alone like that." Not until Jim, still chuckling to him self In retro8|>ectlve enjoyment of the play, took out his watch and began to wind It, which was his first step in the process of going to bed, was he as sailed by an unpleasant and all too familiar sensation. He recognized it. "I've lost something," he said (o himself, beginning to feel about in his pockets. He knit his brows and tried "to think. It couldn't have been his ticket to the play, for he had been there and come home again. "Great play," he soliloquized. "I dont know when I've enjoyed anything bo much. 'I wonder If Tom " .^Here he struck a clew. "Why, wherS^ia Tom?" he asked, thoughtful ly. "We certainly went together." ? Then, like a flash, it all came back In one horrible, overwhelming flood. When Tom returned and stopped In Jim's room on his way to his own, he found a pale, disheveled, dejected creature sitting on the side of the bed, one large shoe in his hand, gazing wildly Into space. Jim turned a hag gard face toward the Intruder. ''Nice man you are!" said Tom, dis gustedly. "Any time I undertake to make a social butterfly out of you again!" Wharton groaned. "8ay,"^ie asked, "what does a fellow do when things like this happen?" Tom started for the door, smother ing a yell of delight. "They don't hap pen," he said, chokingly, as he disap peared. About B o'clock the next morning Henshaw was awakened by a knock on his door. When the door was opened slightly Wharton's dejected countenance appeared In the crack. "Tom," he said, "I've hardly slept a wink. I've Just got to do some thing.' Tom reached for a pillow and threw It at the long, sad face. "Go and do It then," he shouted. "But If you bother me again, 111- M The door closed on the uncomplet ed sentence. If Wharton could have seen Eliza beth's mirthful countenance that eve ning when she read hie name on the card which the maid handed her he would have been tempted to dive headlong out of the window. When she entered the room In which he was waiting for her, however, she was un smiling enough. "Good evening, Mr. Wharton," she said, with cold politeness. "Wont you have a chair." "A chair?" repeated Jim, looking about wildly. "I ? I ? don't believe I need one, thank you. That is, I cant stay but a minute. Miss Blake. I wanted Tom to oome with me to tell yon what a fool I am. He knew I'd do something awful. He hadn't any business to make me go last night. Miss Blake, I don't know what to say,** be went on, cheerlessly. "If there's anything I can do to square myself, I'd be glad to do It. I know there isn't any excuse for a bonehead like me." _T Jim was pallid with misery by this' thne. *1 know you can't forgive me and I don't ask It. I just came to say that I wish you'd get somebody to kick me around the block. I can't apolo glse, for there's no apology that I can >make^ The only thing I can say for myself, is that yon*re the first, I may say, the only girl, 3 ever forgot" It was not until Elisabeth had dropped upon the piano stool and with her bead resting on the piano had very nearly got* into hysterics that iClltabeth's picture Mt dsoorat** the back of Jim's watch, anfwndet* neath. placed there at her nuutst m th.

Similarly, the poor man syml>oll7.od u class, because no reason Is given for his blessing after death, except lint la* was i*?or, covered with sores and lay at tho rich man's gate. Tho Itlch Man represents the Jewish nation. The bountiful table represents toe rich promise# of the I?u\v a nd the r r o p h h 1 8, their* alone up to the time tUoy na tlonally died to those favors. The IUch Mau's pur ple represent*! royalty -^they were God's typi cal kingdom. The "tine lluen" o f the rich man represented the Justification grouted the Jewish na tlon alone. It was a typical Justification. A harvesting of the Jewish people began with our Lord's ministry and lasted forty years. It ended in A. D 70, When the Kleh Man, as a nation, died at tho hands of Titus, the Roman Nationally, the Rich Man Is burled, and will bo non-existent until the Lord'* blessing returns to tho Jewish people, as explained lu Romnns xl. But though nationally dead, the Jewish pci/ple have beeli very much nlive over since, and have beefi ostracised, persecuted and tormented. Although the nation of tho Jews con; tains representatives of all the trlbe?. it Is specially represented in Judah and Ilenjamln; hence theso two tribes constitute the Rich Man. The other ten tribes, "scattered abroad," propor tlonately represent the "five brethren." This thought Is confirmed by tho state ment, "They have Moses and the Pro phets, let them Hear tbem." None but Israel had Mo^es and tho Prophets. Lazarus In Abraham's Bosom. I^azanis, the poor outcast, who long ed for a share of the Rich Man's favor, represented a class of Gentiles, such as the Centurion, whose servant Jesun healed. Of the same Lazarus class was the Syro-Phenlclan woman, who besought Jesus to heal her daughter. Jesus an swered, "It Is not proper to take the children's bread and give It to dogs" ? "dogs" feeing a familiar name for all outside the pale of Judaism. The woman answered, "Yea, Lord, yet the dogs cat of the crumbs which fall from the children's table." In answer to such faith Jesus granted her a crumb from the Divine table. Here we see the Lazarus class, sin sick, covered with sores? because not sharers in Israel's yearly sin-atone ment sacrifices? hungry, because all the promises of God primarily belonged to Israel. They were ouMde the gate of Divine favor ? "aliens, strangers and foreigners to the commonwealth ef Is rael." This Lazarus class, chiefly Gen tiles, had as its nucleus "the outcasts of Israel"? the publicans and sinners. The parable pictures a great change In this Lazarus class? they died to the Hard for a rich man to enter the Kingdom. conditions where in they were. They ceased to be poor beggars, aliens and stran gers. But Laz arus was not bur. led; "he was car ried by the an gels" to Abra ham's bosom. The angels were the Apostles and ministers of the Gospel. These declared to the Gentiles that whereas they were "aliens and foreigners to the commonwealth of Is rael." they were now "brought nigh through faith In Jeans, and the beget ting of the Holy Spirit.
