The Storm and the Country Press.
From the be^innim; of the world to tlie .
nresenttime tho city papers have never;
had so favorable an opportunity to pet,
nhend of tho country papers, as was fur-1
nishod last woek by tho storm. The !
Ntorin pissed over tho country late Tues- J
dav evening. Before the newspapers
K!<?Vi wore nrinted on Wednesday morn
ing had heard of the storm their paper*
were printed, and many of those which '
.are dated on Thursday had not a word on
the subject. Telegrams to the AVi/\* and I
Courier and the Columbia Register \rom j
all parts of the country furnished tlx-{
news on Thursday and hence the country
press will come with the news a lone
ways behind. We generally trv to give
the no as up to Tuesday night, hut in
this instance we failed. The news of the
do<truction of Verdery, involving a loss j
of $10,000 is given in another column as
taken from our neighbor the Salutlx .1 rffUI.
Looking for A Home for His Bride. i
A tnnn whoso head has been whitened j
by the frosts of sixty Winters, was in i
town last week, looking for a dwelling j
bouse. lie has lived a batchelor up to
this time, and hail just come to the conclusion
that it was not well for a man to
live alone. He was then lookingfora
rWotiirif* Kouse in which to move a bride. I
He would not marry until ho had secured |
n house, and his marriage depended upon i
his success in getting a home. We hope,
that he may have good luck in his laudable
enterprise.
The .Toys of Life, Emile Zola's new I
lww>k. is in proas and will he shortly published
by T. B. Peterson ?t Brothers,
Philadelphia. It is the great literary cu- <
Iriosity of the reason, beiinj a crawl nov- j
<>1 of passion, whose powerful interest <
lie* in its truth and pathos. The hero- i
jne's experience, while fr?light with sor- j
row, yet has its bright side, and throng- i
out her career she fully realizes "The [
- " Joys of Life," from which circumstance
the work takes its name. I
Thk work of building tho new church 11
at Due West will orobably go on without! j
much delay. We hope, however, that
still another effort mav be made to build 1
I* firte church. Let the active workers j !
see the subscribers to the work, and find i1
out how many of them would double {'
thefa subscriptions. By making such an ; 1
effort some persons might he induced to i *
contribute who have not subscribed.

A subscription* list was handed to|
our citizens yesterday, seeking relief fcr'.?
the ufferers by tho cyclone at Bradley,It
and we believe the responses \Vere as lib- j
eral as the mean# of our people would al- i
low. There is no people on top of the'u
ground who contribute more frequently! i
or more cheerfully than ours do to the 1 [
relief or the distressed. j?

The M. E. Church, South, has prepared to
uln in tlieceiebnitlon of the "th?? Centennial |
Lnlversary of the Organization of the Merit- j
idi?t Kplseopal Church In America," which
vlll occur In Baltimore on l)ec. ^7, and pro- i
k>s?*s to comniemorate the great event j
nroughout Its entire Itounds with suitable ]
ervlccs hy raising for Kdnetuional purposes,
hurch Extension, and Mls>lons?-hrce noble j i
ibjecti to which the liberality of the Chur::lt'
rill certainly respond. Two millions of dol-!<
urs is the amount proposed to he raised for j
liese objects, and that this purpose can be:
ccotnplished there shou'd be no doubt; It .
rill certaiuly not exhaust the treasury of|i
his strong Church with its nearly nine litin-'
li ed thousand members. <
It mnv be interesting to our readers to i
ecount wliHt Aincib-uu Methodism has hitherto
accomplished on Centenary occasions. i(
iVe first revert to tlie Centennial of 1K39. As1,
lie first Methodist Society was formed In .
?nn-.lou In tlie month of November. 1730, so'
S2W became properly the one hundredth year!
>f Methodism. It was accordingly celebrated i,
n Europe and America. During that centectry
year, with u membership of niein-!
:>ers, Including colored members and Indians,
he Methodist Church In America raised SG'KI,
)00 for missions, educational purposes, and for j
the sui'port of the worn-out preachers, and
the widows, children, und orphunsot preachL*r?.
Tlie Wt-sleyftn Methodists of Ureal Brit-,
iln raised over one million dollars for siinular
objects.
The next Methodist centennial event was In |
IH56. It was a commemoration of the first
Methodist preaching services held In this!
country In 1766, and was celebrated by the!
Methodist Episcopal Church In 1X66. Educn-<
lionand Church Extension were the great j
objects of their benevolence, and 82.0.0,00:1;
was suggested as the amount to be raised.
The result was a magiillllcent one, the thank- j
offerings amounting to Ss.709,107:{!), or more
than four times the amount, proposed ut the'
ou tset.
The successful ce'ebratlon of these two |
former Centenary events should certainly en-1
courage our Southern Mctholl*t friends to the;
accomplishment of the noble deeds they have J
essayed. Such a past ought to be an lnspira-i
tioii.
Able and competent committees have this

gas light. The sunlight Is h hundred times

Ins; incompetent Trial Justice* lor Abbeville, j
Mr. Hemphill served four years In the General

I Is impossible for the Governor to know such i
I men nsre most competent for this olllce In

The cry of "hard times" may he hoard In'
this portion of the County and it Is no lalse!*1
alarm. The corn crop was very short, rspe-! J
dally on uplamls, and the cotton crop was
ha rely sufficient to pay the expense of hittkI
nsr It. So the surplus mon**y for pay I ng old 4
debts, ptirchssins hotter si^rlouittirsii tools,
Improving the homes and nuking new in-j ,
vestments Is very scaree. The thrifty farmer!
will be able to pull through, and with a good j
ciop tills year they will be all rightag:<ln. The .|
industrious tenants ean always i?<*t. help. The;
thriftless who worl; abuit six months In the !
year are In a had condition. J i corn, bacon | j
andttourdo not get above the present prices, j
our people will not sutler iik much from hard ;
times as they now think. The oat crop has. /
been watched very closely by nil, and a I
Blanco at the grain fields of our section is not j
as enr??urajrin^ as it might tic. The past. r
month has been very wet, and the farmfers
have done but vcrv little towards propalrlng]
for this year's crop. The time is drawing|
near when our people are to vote on th?- lax ! <
for I ho construction of the Savannah Valley .

It 1* a prtpulnr Idea that, the majority of,S
persons ent too much. If reference Is made to (

11actio"b e to make nu estimate of tliei
noli lit of tood required by every individual, j
iased on the energy expended In the mental
jr Hoilily activities of each, we believe the

rhe answer almost always nivon, by one of; _
the most prominent physicians in New York i
l?, "cat whatever you think yon would rcl-'
Ish." This reply Is wise. Nature Craves what!
will best agree with ttic system; and unless]
I here Is some special reason why it should be:
ivithhed, thedcsl.ed food shouid he furnish-[
i:d If po?sih|e. One qunlilic.ition. liowevcv. Is !
necessary; and that is, the food requested,
should be wholesome and properly prepared; A
patient just recovering ircnn typhoid fever!
miiitit crave a. article of food to which he!
had always been accustomed, as fur example,'
"mince pie,"?a dish most trying to the1
strongest digestive organs?and which, il then' "]
induced in, would aimost cerlaln.y result in j
a relapse that would prove fatal. A similar'
rase once came under our observation as consilium;
physician. It Is our firm convictinn i
that iio restrictions should ordinarily be
placed on the quantity of food g|veil, to any
one. provided it is plain and nutritions food, I
properly ooked and taken at meal time. |
Young children require food more frequently,!
and are permanently injured by fasting he-|
tween the regular meal hours. Never say i
no! to a child who a>ks food or water, it mat-,
ters not how often. No person who lias been j
liaM' li illy underfed in i:hlldho<<d can ever enjoy
perfect health, nor is lie likely to attain to i
oi'd line. We see this truth exemplilled in,
men and animals.
The use of food is not alone to nourish t he '
body; It bus another most Important ofllce, j
which Is to distend the stomach and Intestines.
I f a hor>e were to be fed on outs or
other concentrated foo.l only, lie would soon i
die; and thus it would lie with any oilier au-!
tms'K
When a child !s underfed, during years?
as thousands are?lt> stomach becinies weak j
and contacted so that In time It has neither j
the strength nor capacity to contain suf-:
ficlcnt nutriment f'?r the wants of tlie system,!
and the child dies of "mxrasinus," a disease
common enouirh among the poor and degraded,
and not. allogether unknown in higher!
life, where errors in relation to the care ofj
children aie sometimes adhered to with most

Why oysters should bo eaten raw Is cx-|
plained by I)r. William Unbelts In his lecture i
on "Digestion." He says that the general i
practice of eating the oyster raw is evidence I
that the popular Judgment upon matters of!
diet Is usually trustworthy. The f?wit-colored
mass, which Is the delicious portion of the
fish, Is Us liver, and is simply a mass of glycogen.
Associated with the glycogen, but withheld
from actual contact with it. during life,
is Its appropriate digestive fc> merit?the hep- ?
atlc diastase. The mere crushing ot the oyster
between the teeth brings these two bodies !
together, and the glycogen is at once digested I
without any other help than the diastage.
The raw. or merely warmed oyster, is self-digestive.
Hut the advantage of this provision
is wholly lost hy cooking; for the heat Immediately
destroys the associated ferment, and a
cooked oyster has to he digested, like any
other food, by the eater's own digestive pow- i
ers.
"My dear sir, do you want to ruin your digestion?"
asked Professor Hou.'hton of Trinity
College one day of a friend who had ordered
brandy and water with his oysters In a
Dublin restaurant.
Then he sent for a glass of brandy and a
glass of (iulnness's XX, and put an oyster In
each. In a very short time there lay in the
bottom of the glass of brandy a tough, leathery
substance resembling the finger of a kid
?love, wiille In the porter there was hardly a
trace of the oyster to be found.
Sleeping in a Cold Room.
Hall's Journal of Health says that cold bedchambers
always imperil health and Invite
fatal diseases. Robust persons nin.v safety j i
sleep in a temperature or fi rty and under, out. j
the Ha, the infant and the fruil should never i
sle?p In a room where the atmosphere Is
much under 11 fry decrees Fahrenheit.
All know ttie danger of going direct Into
the cold from 11 very warm room. Very few
rooms, churches, theatres, and the like, are
even warmer than seventy degrees. If It Is I
freezing out ol doors It Is thirty degrees?the
difference being forty degrees more. Persons
will be chilled by such n change In ten minutes.
although they may he actively walking.
Hut to lie still In bed. nothing 1o promote
the circulation, and breathe for hours an atmosphere
of forty and even fifty degrees,
when tlx? lungs nre always at ninety-eight. Is j
too great a change. Many persons wake up }
If) the morning with Inflammation of the
lumrs who will to bed well-, and are surprised
that this should he the case. The cause
may often be found in sleeping In a room the
windows of which have been foolishly hoisted
for ventilation. The water-cuic Journals
of the country have done an incalculable Injury
by the blind and indlscrlmlnul advice of
hoisting the window at. night.
The rule should be everywhere during the
I pnrt of the year when fires are kept burning,
to avoid hoisting outside windows. Ills safj
cr and better to leave tlie chamber door open,
as also the fireplace; then there Is a draft up .
the chimney, while the room Is hot so likely j
| to become cold. If there is some fire In tlie j
I room all niixhtthe window may be opened art I
| Inch. It is safer to sleep In a bud air all night ]
, with a temperature over fifty, than In a pure
air with a temperature under forty. The bad
air may sicken yon but cannot kill you; the
Cold air can and does kill very often.
