'! i Wednesday* September 15,1897.! JOIN' THE BOAD ASSOCIATION. The road convention will meet again on Saturday, 2oth Instpui suant to notice already given. The object of thi? meeting is to perfect a thorough organization ihi-ougbont lhe whole county. Committees have been apposed in every township, and these committees have been requested to agitate the necessity for some such organization and toind&ce the citizens of their respective townships to join the society. The committee appointed at the last meeting will report a constitution and such regulations as maybe necessary for the society on the 25th insL It is impracticable to succeed in anygreat enterprise without an cfEoient organization. It will prove the same way with road improvement. The best way to arouse an interest is ihronorh a road societv, and it must be through this society that our roads will be improved. We have before us a circular issued by the United States Department of Agriculture showing the origin and work of the Darlington Road League, of Harford Countv, Maryland. The circular states that Harford County "is a good rich farming country, but it has been noted for the deplorable con dition of its highways. The Maryland legislature failed, or refused, to enact any special read laws. The circular says: "For along time the people of Harford County endeavored to devise some plan lookiDg to the improvement of the roads. Public meetings were held in almost every town in the county and schemes innumerable were suggested. Amon<j others, an effort was made to have a county engineer appointed, who should supervise and repair tin roads,' but this, witn an other enoeavors, failed, and the funnel's continued to pled through the mud to market. "Among the numerous small towns in Harford County is the village cf Darlington, a place of about iwo hundred people, localed in the northeastern part of the county." The people in this vicinity, we arc tola, urged on by the deplerable condition ol' the public roads, called a public meeting in 1887, and about lifty mem responded. The result was that a road league was organized. At the first meeting, a resolution was passed pledging the league to co-operate with the county commissioners and road supervisors. "The business of the league and the direction of its affairs was entrusted to a council of twelve of the besi citizens." "The council of twelve was the working force of the organization." They held many meetings. haying fall reports of the overseer and members of the league. Wo are farther told that the league proceeded upon "the theory that in ord"r to insure success in road improvement ihe work mast begin at home among the people." The first thing the league did was to have the county commissioners entrust to it the improvement of certain roads about two miles in extent. The league got a small appropriation, and "in less than thirty days they had constructed two miles of good shell road." This encouraged them aud the dominion of the league was increased. "During the first year of ili3 league's existence $350 in road warrants, $500 special appropriation from the county, and about $$90 raised by private subscription, constituted ihe working ?*-, ^ /?v Ta*/vvia f V? +T*nc mAnoTr J.UUU KJl LUC VI 1WU WUW they managed to construct some entirely new roads, and to improve and keep in repair almost lifteen miles of roadway, and at the same time reserve a balance of $400." Even the boys formed a league, and so great was the enthusiasm that the highways will soon be thoroughly macadamized. We have given this brief sketch, because these people were suffering from bad highways just as we are, and it is given with the hope ;that their experience may guide us. Let everybody join the association on the 25th inst. Greater New York, now the second largest city under one government in world, is trying to rise above politics. The Citizens' Union hare orgauized to irive the new municipality a clean governmeur, and they think that they can do this by nominating a man who is not a parlizan and not prominently identified with any political organization. Se.h Low, President of Columbia College, is presented as such a man. The Republicans and Democrats are lighting to draw party lines, each party having its own candidate. It is thought that jhe Citizens' Union will draw principally from the Republicans, and weaken their party more thai; the Democratic, and that the ciiauces, therefore, are jq tavor 01 the regui-ir Democratic candidate. If Mer~!:-:ey.$ni ha? raised the price ox Vviiea. >v.:> 1:^6 it not raiseu tae price of cotton? The truth .is the Republican tariff has brought prosperity to no one except a fc^r favored manufacturers by an arthicial raising of the price of their products. "Wheat has risen bee -.use it is a short crop. Cotton does r.ot rise bccc.nse there is plenty of it, and more than enough to supply the demand of the world. It is the plain and simple operation of the ltfcTV of supply and demand. The Columbia Register is now one of the very best papers in the State. It is now published every day in the week. Tiie subscription lor idc uauy is only $G per annum. "As Xew York goe?, so gees the Onion." This has beer, the political history of this country. I refers e-~ pecially tto New York Stale, but on account of this invariable rule 211 our national politics, a great deal of interest centres iu the campaign for Mayor of New York.

THE ORIGIN OF MOKMOXI'^* | Mr. Editor: As much interest has ! attached to the Mormon f?uesiion of { i late, and many comments reflectir< 1 upon the good name of the people of this county have been published in the papers throughout the country, I beg i that you will publish the following I 'sketch of the origin and spread of | Mormonism taken from the Escyclop?3ia Uritanica?recognized us standard authority on all subjects. The Mormons or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Sainti arc a religious sect founded by Joseph Sjiith at Manchester, New York, in 1830, and for the last thirty-six ycirs settle-i id Salt Lake City, territory of Utah. Smith was born en the 2C;-u December,, 1S05, at Sharon, Windsor County, Vc., whence ten years later his parents a poor, ignorant, thriftless, and not loo honest couple, removed to New York, where they settled on a small farm near Palmyra, in Wayne County. Four | years later, in 1809, they removed to i eiv TV>i'^C off* fl.nfl ft'OHl I J JiailOiiLObVi ) MA4VW , ! this place, when fifteen years old, Joseph began to have his vision?, in one of which on the night of the 21st September, 1S23, fho angel ilovoni appeared to him three times, and told him that the Bible of the Western Continent, tho supplement to the Now Testament, was buried in a certain snot near Manchester. Four years , later and after due disciplinary probation, Smith went to (he spot and had delivered into his charge by an angel of the Lord a stone box, in which was a volume, six inches thick, made of thin gold plates, 8 by 7 inches, and fastoned together by three gold rings. The plates were covered by small writing in the reformed Egyptian tongue and were accompanied 'by a pair of supernatural spect? -les, consisting of two crystals fet in a silver i * ? i -.n-j T-_: ? Tu ,.-v,v^:v>r.. ! 00 W, auu Ciinuu. urxui auu xijuuiuiina. by the aid of these, the Hiystic characters could be read. Being uuable to read or write fluently, Smith employed as clerk one Oliver Cowdery, to whom from behind a curtain he dictated a translation, which with the aid of a a farmer, Martin Harris, who had more money than wit, was published in 1S30 under the title of tbe Book of Mormon, and accompanied by the sworn statement of Oliver Cowdery, David Wbitmer and Martin Harris that an angel of God had shown them the plates of which this book was a translation. This testimony all three of them I If/wm/iniMM ftr\ltt/> IWffM i V/0 f ?IH//H-wmw WWW JV?? V later denounced as false, but in the meantime it helped Smith to impose on the credulous, especially, as the gold plates had disappeared" mysteriously. The Book of Mormon electiog Smith to be the prophet of God, &c., See., goes on to give an account of America from its first settlement by a colony of refugees] from the crowd dispersed at the Tower of Babel to th3 year 5 A. D., and winds up with an account of a battle between the Nephiies and the bad Hebrews, in mViifh thp forme!- vrnra nearlv annihl iated, but Mormon and his son Moroni escaped and Mormon collcctecl the sixteen books of records, which were buried and found as has been narrated above. This is Smith's account of the book, bat in reality it was written as an historical romance by one Solomon Spalding, a crack-brained prescaer, in 1812, and the M6S. falling into the hands of Sidney liiguo;:, an unscrupulous compositor, was copied by him and given to Smith. So much for the Book of .Mormon or Bible of the Mormons; but Smith, whn was evidently' a void bun. a:so a "vile corporator", ior we find him president of a bant, when tbe historian goes on to say the country was soon flooded with worthless notes in consequence of which, on the night of 22nd May, 1832, he and Kigdon were taken from their beds and tarred and feathered.

JEFFARES Before xhc iiapiist Youajj People' Christian Union at Beaver Creek Church. An nnrioht life is I he theme of my ** * ~ I 3 - ' discourse. I hesitated to say anything, knowing as I do that there are others better able'to discuss this important subject. There are many things that constitute an upright life. In order to enable a man or Tvoman to live an upright life it is very essential that both the mind and heart should be properly trained from childhood until they Mi?!n :heir majority and are r thrown on nicir own resources, jl | bslicve the man or woman who can teach lis how to manage correctly these mo&t Important years of outlives will be the benefactor of the human race. In order to train the heart correctly v?c should Jet only pare thoughts dwell therein. Like many other things, the heart ueecls cultivating'. In order to properly cultivate the heart we should keep only true, good and noble truths wi'hin. Resizing as we all do that when noble aspirations dwell within the heart, there is but little room for anything mean, io^v, seiiisii auct unscrupulous to dwell therein. The pr.-?pd* training of the heart is more e-sential to an upnght life than that of the mind. Cut do not understand me to say that the mind should not be cultivated. I would be f ir irora inculcating such an idea into the minds of the youu? people of this or any other communitv. Ksxt to the heart the mind is God?s noblest gift to mankind. it is capable of an almost in"iinnnf nf work. and it is I therefore very important that it shouid be properly trained in order to attain the best results possible in the intellectual field. The mind thinks and the heart acts. There is a concert of action between the two that prompts ns to wise expressions and noble deeds, or to illogical conclusions and r.Thns ; ic fliat- thAu uuwisy IU-J, jljuwo i*j in?* should be properly trained in order to enable us to attain a spiritual and Intellectual degree of proficiency that will enable us to walk' an upright life. In my opinion an upright life consists in noble aspirations ancl noble deeds. It consists in being truthful, honest and siuceie in your purposes. The spirit of forgiveness and appreciation constitutes two of the most essential elements in an upright life. One of America's most famous men was once interrogated concerning ?ome letters that bad been published reflecting discredit on himself and family, and he said by way of retaliation, "I have nothing to say, I regard life altogether two short to" devote to s,n\ system of retaliation, however $;reat may have been the provocation." what magnanimous spirit exemplified ia that expression. Then I thonght what seeming possibilities are wrapped u.p in the youth of cur country if;they are -.endowed with ncble aspirations and proper motives coupled.with those rare gifts of intellectual attainments so essential to a!tain high eminence in tie great competition in the intellec i an., ai'uuiu My friends, a man or woman may possess a versatility of g-:nius, but if they are devoid of ihe spirit of forgiveness and appreciation they cannot long regain ihc respect; and* admiration of their fellowman. Without the spirit of forgiveness and appreciation the Christian religion would be a fable, a fable! Ob! how can it be? In order to stimulate ihe mind and heart to noble aspirations it is necessary to read ths history of famous men, men whose lives arc worthy of enni-a i-.-- l -?- i- a., i: ?

Dr. Talmagesavs that he believes the tvpical American is yet to com?. I do not agree with Lirn. I bolieve theraan or woman who.se disposition contains all the characteristics that I have mentioned is a true Christian and might bo appropriately termed a typical man or woman. There is diversity of opinion as to what are the chief characteristics that constitute an upright life. I believe the first requisite to the highest and most symmetrical development of what is noblest in man, be lie learned or ignorant, is sincere heartfelt piety. There are indeed mere natural virtues which command our respect and admiration, but afier ail a Christian is the highest type of man. Piety toward God is the surest incentive to the full dischar^o of all the duties toward '* ' ~ - ? i- ? ?

Ills act?, persona! and official, strives co maintsia a conscience void of offense is the man who above all others will bz most fearless In meeting every responsibility and most faithful in discharging cv\*ry trust. This is the spirit which elevates its possessor above all that is ignoble, narrow and selfish, because all the ends he aims at will be those of country, God and truth. How true ought this picture to be of each and every one of us. .Tncf- a -fV'cc trnrrls in .'.onr.lnsion. T think it is a duiy incumbent on every one of us to read our Bible from day to day despite the criticisms of infidel?, atheists and skeptics. It should be takea as a criterion by which to shape and mould our entire subsequent actions before God and man, and if we do not receive the approbation and co-operation of the great mass of people we will have sufficient reward in our own conscience to know that we have done that which we conceive to be right before Cod, for the world's applause will sconer or later dwindle into significance. If I know my duty to God, my country and myself, I would instill into the minds of the youth ot this country the duty of practising the teachings of the Bible and the prccepts of our Saviour. No doubt many a child has had good precepts given them, the facts of which have been nullified by bad examples. I repeat again, how important it is that are should lead an upright life so tha.t we may bs worthy examples {for those who are following closely in oar footsteps. Yes.

HE'S AN HYPNOTIST. The following from the Bridgeton (N. J.) Pioneer will be interesting to ilr. Herbert Ferris' many friends an acquaintances in Winnsboro: Pretty much everybody in Bridgeton has been thoroughly converted to the theory of hypnotism, but there are few who know that in this city there is a youE?r man who can exercise this rare gift. Those who have seen him have been wonderfully impressed, and ir.ieed the private performances he has given have been unusually satisfactory and highly successful. The vouug man is Herbert Ferris, and has just turned his 18th birthday. His father is Kev. Jabez Ferris, a State missionary of South Carolina. The family came to Bridgeton about a year ago from their Southern home, being attracted by the exceptional educational advantages, and young Ferris is a pupil at the South Jersey Institute, together with his sister and brothers. Ferris first became aware of his hypnotic powr when about half his present ase. At that time he would exercise bis gilts upon animals, reanny controlling cat?, dogs and horses. lie was fearful of usin^r his power upon person* in hi* earlier days, not having confidcme in r-ei"g able to throw olT the hypnotism, lie contiuued practising upon animal-, until recently when he put human bungs tinder his layMCrxous pinvur, unu :u: uccu Kiviug some (UxiduVv interesting private exliibitioab. Willi tiiei^ lie has had wonderful success, and competent judges ucclare that his powers are greater thai that of cither Dr. Fitzgera'd or Sanianelli, who created such a furore hfre la?t winter and spring. \Vhi:e Ferris has little idea of mak ing hypnotism a profession, be is giving the matter careful study and experimenting in all its stages. It is quite likely that during the coming fall and wii:t- r h?* will give public exhibitions, pos.s:'j y appraring in this ci'y on one or more occasions. Ferris has also another attainment, and as a clairvoyant has had great success. The two mysterious powers together will give him wcmderful op pUriUIUIlUa LU liiaau a cuuucemi puuno appearance.
