RICH HILL LETTER.
Moralizing on Men--Some
Measure up to Responsibilities
of Citizenship, while
Others do Not--The Recent
Successful Religious
Revival-Other Matters.
Ed. L ine ia'e> News : Things
in and at uut Rich Hill are
still en the m;?ve. Indeed, thiu*8
happen hc?e just about as they
do in other places where good
meu of public spirit and indomitable
c >urane and un-elfi shnes-i
are at the back of things.
Did you ever notice that 111 the
civil and commorci'1 as well as
religious world that (he irre lu
table law of compensation deals
kindly and justly with the aggressive,
unselfish public spirited
man? Is it not geuerally true
that the man who gives most freely
of himself and means to the
advancement of principles, policies
and m' a?i8 that tend to the
uplifting and upbuilding of his
community, that he himself is
not the most honored and prosperous
of them all? It is to him
the people of Iiib community look
for encouragement and advice.
It is to him his people appeal to
in sickness and dire necessity.
Why is it that to many even
men of talent and ability and
means are, It seems, so completely
and oblivious to the conditions,
need, and requirements ol their
community, bo'h moral and physical?
Why, think for a moment.
Toe results ob'atnable by unity
of purpose and coop'ration of a
body of earnest an 1 unselfish
men. trying each to do his full
share in uplifting a?>d in bettering
his people and community.
Now if it is the duty and privilege
of one or two men to do
all in their power lor the betterment
of their community, then
why is it not the duty and nn
vilege of all to do their utmost
for the same cause? No man
has the moral right to pursue a
course, which if followed 'oy all,
would demoralize and lower the
standard of his order, his bu>i
ness, his profession, his church
or community Suppose for instance,
if no one should take any
rnore interest in the general condition
and weliare of his family,
his farm, business, education,
church or into tlie general interests
ol his community than many
of us ( who would not like to be
called independent) do, wliit
in the name ol goodne-s would
^ become of us? How many homes
beautilied, schools made adequate,
how many comfortable
and commodious churches built
tor the worship of the true and
living God, how m my mission
aries sent to the sui-cursed lud
Godless heathen? etc, etc. If a
tew can accomplish so much,
how much, oh ! how much might
we accnmnlinh nniiurl
prayed that we might all be one
as be and the Father are one".
Well, Mr. Editor, I did not in
tend in the outset to burden von
with my moral philosophy, lor
I am as a fish out of water when
I try to surmonize However,
when one allows his mind to
dwell even but lor a moment on
things as they are ami as they
might be how can he help it?
So many things have transpired
in and around this little
village since my last letter, that
I can scarcely make head or fail
f them. First, I might say that
those six melon patches proved
themselves all anil more than expected
of them, both hi excellency
of temper and sweetness of
heart. Hot from ?nl>a on IIA it t in
formation 1 learned thai numerically
speaking these ^ix patches
were net a speck on the horizon
in comparision with number of
patches in the community, ol
the ihen anticipated, but now a
panned pleasure,of lnscous reveling,
concomitant, with finest ol
peaches and fried chicken. Hut

Among the Rich Hill happenincs
I might mention that on
the fourth Sunday in duly, we
had with us the Tabernacle choir,
which comported itself with hon?
ar, rendering most lovely music,
which was greatly enjoyed. In
the afternoon we had preaching
by the pastor, the Rev R. E.
Small- That night we begun a
week's nightly prayer meeting
which dnl great good. On the
Sunday following the pastor
preached the first of a series oi
sermons which lasted through t'>
Thursday night The pastor did
all the preaching at both the
morning and night services,
and plainer and more convincing
sermons I never heard, as is evidenced
by the number o' conversions
and the general interest
manifested. The number ol con
versions lor were the five days'
meeting. Ihirtv-sixnr ?r? nvprmr/.
of seven per day, and from present
indications, more to follow.
It was indeed a great meeting,
Tho' a quieter meeting 1 nev r
attended.
Professor Bolings of Greenvill- .
iS. C., taught a two weeks' sinning
school at l his place; also, one
at Fork Hill, beginning his first
school at Rich Hill on 3rd Monday
in July, in which the people
showed quite an interest. Prolessor
Bolinga is a fine teacher.
This place is much like the earih
at the coming ol the flood, mar
rying and giving in marriage, inter,
per-ed with many births and
several deaths.
Well, it is now the time o
harvest for the yellow corn a'.id
brown pumpkins Horn and
reared on a farm, we find ourselves
longing for the old-lime
coin hnskings with its sequel,
old lime pot pie and apple dnmn

lings. In imagination we hear
I he old-time darkey as lie walks
the fop of the long heap of corn,
giving < ut a verse of an old lime
corn song. Ye-*, hear the song ol
the challenging parties as tiiev
Rtrive lor victory and the piize,
Tlien comes I he final song, "Hunt
itig tor the last ear round U|;
corn." Then came the finale,
the ride ot the host on 'ho choulders

The crisis over, the climax fo1lows

BLOCKADED.
Every Household In Lancaster
Should Know how to Desist It.
The back aches because the kidneys
are blockaded.
Help the kidneys with their work.
The back will acho no more.
Lots of proof that Loan's Kidney
l'ills do this.
11. A. Kennedy, living at 107 Branch
St., Chester, S. says: "1 have been
' using Loan's Kidney l'ills for several
weeks, and they have proven to be a
remedy that acts as represented. T
' suffered a great deal from pains across
the small part of my back for over a
year. At times, sharp twinges would
dart through my loins, while again I
would suffer from a dull aching across
my kidney regions. The secretions
were often unnatural in appearance,
and showed that my kidneys needed
attention. I used different remedies,
but nothing helped me as much as
Loan's Kidney fills. Since using them
1 have been steadily improving and the
results I havo obtained lead me to
recommend this remedy most highly."
