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

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

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.

of the very best papers in the State.

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

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

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. It mav be thai the raiders
near Ridgeway took the;, at; from
this.

A BIUEF SY>OPSIS OF AX ADDRESS
DELIVERED BY ROBT. R. 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

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

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

inspiration of lienor, the strongest
safeguard of personal integrity, the
most efficient "aid in the pursuit and
at.ainment of whatsoever, things are
just, and true, a^id lovely, and of good
report.
The man or woman whoever lives as

who belieres and remembers that God

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. I would inspire a

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
