Iki Press and Banner. ABBEVILLE, S.C. Wednesday, April 5, 1885, A Rluitdrrin^ Law. The following proviso or the Act of consoliNation ?-f the GinM'tva. Cumberland tSupaud Chicago Kai Incut Was not b;-cn repealed, nnd Is xtltl tff frfrev: "TKe tH^.|iAVrv? in th >S'> township* in AM??v H?Co'iinty. wln> havo ?u!w>crll>o<l t-> llio stock of raid "it conditio* licit tli'-v l>e nllowvd crvilit on r iy trtxutoii v??t?*d thereafter, shall have etcdil ?m any ( iihM.ri|itioii or asscMm-nt voitil under this Act to fir extent ?r any taxes levied. as lutein provided, or fir st-ick in said consolidated company." 1'iic fact has not bean denied that the stockholders of the Atlantic and French IJroivl Valley Kallroad subscribe I under the express munition 111:11 may kiuhiiu nave me exemption above referro-l to. To show that It was Impossible for the Legislature to pass any law depriving them ol tlie right to tliis exemption promised In their agreement to sub cribe, we make the following extract from t lie Constitution of the United States: Article I. Section 11: "X? State fhali ? piss any law impairing tho obligation of contracts." While the law under which tho tax for ('. (?. a C. 11. It. tax is proposed to be levied, is n new law, yet it Is "under this Act," (the Act | of Consolidation.) One Injustice to the tax-paver, to say nothing of the unconstitutionality of ttie act Vhich would authorize the seizure of private property for the benefit of a railroad corporalion, lies In the fact that the taxation is uue1)uh), I11 Hint those who have not tieretofore hui?tl 11K.-U IU lilV?l[IIHIigiVVIkVI llli viMiipi- I iiy, will be compelled to pay a higher rate of j taxes than those who have subscribed. Fori instance: It is proposed to levy n tax of five; percent. on all of the aMcsncd rrul mid jwrxunnl projterty of the township, while the property of the subscribers to tho capital stock is exempt from taxation. Of course then to raise ft sum equal to five per cent, of the assessed value of all the property In the town or town- J sbip, the property of those citizens who may j be so unfortunate as not to have previously j-ubscribed to the road wl:l have to be taxed | 411 ft much higher rate than Ave percent, until such time as they shall have paid a sum equal | 1o that which the previous subscribers had j aid to the road. The iniquity of the Act of the Legislature la more apparent, when attention h- called to the fact that it. would have been no trouble to put a stipulation in the law, that tlie town or township should be at. lowed credit for all moneys heretofore subscribed. This would have made the voluntary and coercive subscriptions equal, but the wonderful proposition is made to make tho j cr cent, by coercive subscriptions much f renter than the per ccnt. by voluntary subscriptions. 2<ot satisfied with nn alleged attempted violation of the Constitution of the United States in passing an Act "impairing the obligation of contracts," the Legislature in its ?,xcef diug great desire to do something to benefit the C., C. G. C. It. It. violate the plain and express terms of the Constitution of the State, which Is in these words: Article IX : Section 1: "The General As.-o:iiMy shall provide by tow for n j uniform and equal rale of a**e*smcnt and tnxa-! tiun, ?n.l nliull [>t t'Ncritn- mich refutations its sibttll Recti ro h just vnluaiiiiii for taxation of all property." i The law stand* Just in tiiis way: It either! means to violate the Constitution of thei t'nlted States, by pusslug an Act "impairing j the obligation of contracts," or else it means to override our own Constitution by taxing voluntary subscribers five per cent, for a railToad while others who have to be coerccd will have to pay from Ave and a half to seven and t? quarter per cent. A further Iniquity consists In the fact, thoce persons who are themselves exempt from taxation under the terms of the law, are to have nn equal voice in voting this tax with those of ds who are not exempt. Tlicy may solidly cast their votes for this, tax, while the people are Imagining a vain ' thing, but after they have succeeded In sad-| tiling It upon us, they can complacently fold ! their armc, and let the heathen rage, while j we are paying the tax. ! Those who arc exempt from taxation should not bo allowed to vote a tax on others. Bailrond Election. The County Commissioners, at the request of a majority of the landowners of Due West township, have ordered an election 011 April 5?.rrt nB tr> whothpr or not the townshin will Vote a tax for the bcnellt of the Carolina Cum-! Lorland Gap and Chicago Railroad. The form of thep 'Hon would seem to guard the peo-; jdeas much as possible from a loss ot their I bonds, but the attention of those who mav be i relyln;? on "conditions'' to stive them Is asked to the following from the highest authority! on railroads: Municipal bonds, In the usurU from, containing! Words of negotiability with capons attached, are I absolut-, nnd not conditional. promises to pay, and ] bence an- negotiable with all the incidents of negotia-1 lolity, notwithstanding they contain the following recital: ''This bond is issued for llie purpose of subscribing to the capital stock of the Fori Scott and Allen} Knllroad, and f?r the construction of the same | through the same Iwcn.ihip. lo pursuance of and tn i a-c-nlancc with an act ot toe legislature of the State j ?'f Kansas, entitled "An act to enable municipal townships to s ibscrible torstoci In any railroad, and to I provide for the pay:neiit of the same, approved Feb I .1* tv-n.- ....i r,.? ,1... ?f ii,? ? .1.1 I ?f money ami securing interest thereon, In manner Aforesaid, \iy>o>i the performance of the said condition, the faith of tin- aforesaid Humboldt township, no ?l.*?

Humboldt Towushlp v. J J.one, U. S. Sup, Court, Oct Term, 1ST5. Tlie fact seems to have escaped tho notice of the p?r!ies preparing the form of the petition thai these bonds by Hie express terms of the Act of tbe Legislature, are delivered to the "l?6at)y authorized n^ent" of tiio Carolina Cumberland Hap and Chicago Railroad when delivered to the llnnk narmd in the petition. In this petition there is one vital defect, even admitting that "conditions" may tc imposed or enforced. No reference Is made as to the collection and payment of interest? the interest being of as much Important as ?k.sv n?U%Aln.>1 ifts/.ir Tt XT' 411 rifjfor llltln where tbe bonds may be deposited If the company urc enabled by law to collect tbe onnwal interest. And thero Is no provision against Tftlsevent, which will follow as sure as the right the day. Another defect in the provisions 1?, that no limit as to time Is named, and Jf all the provisions hold good, we see no sufficient rensou to prevent the Carolina Cum. bcrland Gap and Chicago iUllroad Iroru holding the boads over the town for a hundred years. While these "conditions" would no doubt prevent an execution or attachment creditor front realizing a fair return for their sale and would prevent the realization of their full value h? a transfer by tire company, yet It has been held by the highest legal authority that bonds similarly conditioned hud to be paid after they had been negotiated. If they are Issued legally, they are Issued under authority of the Act of the Legislature named i>n the petition, and must be In accord with fhe provisions therein named. If they are not issued in accord with these conditions, then they are without the authority of law, and of course arc worthless. Another matter: According to a strict condition of the law, it is a question If sufficient notice of the election lias been given in the advertisement. Ordinarily, three Insertions in a weekly news paper means twenty-one days. We merely throw out these hints for what they are worth. Wo shall interpose no ob" Jection to our friends at Due West voting this j tax, If they chose to do so. Wc have hereto fc>re expressed ourself fully on this question, and we expect to let the matter rest from this i time forth imtll the authorities at Abbeville Tillage shall order an election. If the bonds are issued or voted by the citizens of r>ue West township those who will Iiave the debt to pay may yet And out that! It would have been the part of wisdom to! *cru iHe warning of the Pretsand U'jnner Before taking-a hasty step. Ktgniflcnnt I.nnniK.

One of the richest class of capitalists are exempt froin taxation, whllo other | powerful and Influential capitalists aro an-1 fhorized to lynch the property of the citizen ! and to sell his bed to raise money for their! own uses. If the Democratic party will only i extend exemptions from taxation to a few1 more favored rich corporations, and then al1 >w other pet corporations to lorage on the Industry of the laborer and to /east on the; goods and money of the widow and tho or-j phan, we will soon be In a delightful situation.

RELIGIOUS SERVICES IN THE VARIOUS CHURCHES. A Beautiful Day?Iiveryhudy <;?rs to Church. iiimI all Devoutly \Vor*bi|> th*? I.ord our Last Sunday was Faster, ami the most lovely <l ty of I fie season. The beautiful mid Spring-like weather drew nearly everybody from their homes, and nil our cburHtes were well filled Willi devout worshippers. Keligious scrvices were held in all the thurches, I except the Presbyterian, Which was closed because of the iil'S'.-vcc of a pastor. The Kplscopal church was most beautifully | and elaborately dressed with llowers and evI i-rsrcens. The taste and skill with which this work whs done was a subject of remark by all, and many said tlie building had never presented a more beautiful appearance. The music was a most delightful feature of Sunday's worship in this ehureh, and many persons were profuse in their expressions of appreciaeion of it. Rev. W. II. Hnnckel** Sermon. For trcknow if ?nr earthly h<m?e fifth's labornacU were dissolved, we have n building of G<mI, an h-'iisi* not limit with hands, eternal in the heavens.? 3 Cor. 5: 1. In writing this portion of holy scripture the Apostle seems to have uinter.-tood with greater clearness and to have felt wkh deeper emotion, ti.ati fin ordinary occasions, "the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus the Lord," the sublime truths, the solemn teachings, and the bright prospects of the Gospel. Me expresses himself with unwonted fervor, and rises above afflictions, trials and the "loss ot all things" earthly, in the certain knowledge that, to nil who are faithful unto death, theie will tie a resurrection to eternal life, that "when his earthly tabernacle should lie dissolved, he had a house not made with hands, eternal In the heavens." I. The tlrst question is, what was the Apostle's view, both of "the life that now is, and of that which Is to come," as expressed in tlie text? It was the leaching of the l'latonists and others who held the doctrine of the soul's immortaltty, before the (iospel revelation, that the soul is properly the real man, and ye), that it could not subsist or act without some suitable vehicle or clothing, that in ord:-r to exercise Its faculties, and accomplish the design of its existence, it must cither occupy some material abode, or after its separation from the body, be placed In some peculiar state, suited to its nature and powers. Hence the word tabernacle, or lent, or coverj ift^ was iM'd to mean the Oody, tiic body beI Inn thought nothing more than the abode or j tabernacle of the soul. Whence came this! ; Jdea, whether evolved from inner consciousness or the remains ot the primeval revela! Hon, we need not now inquire, It is enough I that it Is sanctioned by Holy scripture. Our : blessed Lord sanctioned it, when He said of j Ills body, "I will destroy thJs body, and inj 1 three days I will bulid it up." It was plainly J present to the mind of ttie Apostle, when lie I penned the wonts of the text, it Is the ideal which pervades it, and on which its language ' is founded. He describes the body as being I "our earthly house of this tabernacle," or in I oiiier words, "our earthly abode in this body," j the present habitation only of the soul. For this end it was created, "fearfully and wen- j derl'ully made," suited most perfectly to the | nature of its occupant, the never dying soul, i and for the exercise of the glorious faculties I i with which it Ik endowed. In this frail, ma| ferial body, therefore, the soul now lives. We I dwell in it as in a lent or tabernacle, which I is subject to vicissitudes of every kind, is ex-1 1 posed to Injury on every side, and will finally i be dissolved To Judge however from the. conduct of most persons, this Is not the gen-| emlly received opinion. It' we arc to judge; of opinions by prneticc. most people must think that the body is the essential and no-j I blcr part of mau, and alone deserves our es- h peciid cure and attention. Let us recall to mind tiie elm meters and conduct of the many we have known in our childhood, in the flush of youth and amid the callings and struggles of mature age. What wore their relation* to I religion? M'lutt arc their principles as indi-l cated by their lives? Do they carry any manifest tokens about them, that they con- | slder the material nature as only temporary? j Do they show any sign that a senso of the ex- j istence of an immortal spirit within. Is the' guiding principle of their lives? Do they II live lu this world us If their true home was In another? Do not the; majority, on the; contrary, make earth tlielr all, seek only to j provide or and gratify the perishing body, to ,' thoneglect and ruin ol the precious soul?;' Change the wretched fraction Into the j mighty whole ? lint though men act so un-j wisely, though they would, if they could, i make tiie earthly house of the soul eternal, I yet It is the decree of heaven, that it "shall be dissolved," and no power or might In the unl-1 verse can stay its execution. As a Wilt U re- j! moved, when its cords aro loosened, and its] slakes drawn up, as u temporary abode of any | kind, Is taken apart, and ius materials carried > i away, and not a vestige ot such a structure I remains, so shall It be with this our earthly !< tabcrnaele.it shall be dissolved. It's ir.em-i( burs shall fall apart, and its minutest constlt- I < uents be separated, it will cease to be thejl dwelling of the immortal spirit, and will re-;< turn to the dust from whence It came, mln-|l trie with Ils riaront earth anil be no more seen.' < II. But when the body dies, wliut will becc-mc of the soul, where will Its abode be. and what will be its condition in its intermediate state between death and the rcsureetion ? ; These are questions which have often moved i the feelings of men of all ases, and to which ] the minu naturally and anxiously looks for | an answer. And is not this fact, that such j questions are asked.that we shrink from oblivion, and would draw.aside the veil from! the other world, a presage of the future of immortality ! The answer to our inquiries 011 these points, sufficient for all the purposes of practical piety and personal guidance. Is giv- ] en by the Hoiy tjcripturcs, and only by the; Holy Scriptures Men have groped elsewhere lonjr and anxiously, and have lound no satisfaction. We may bewilder ourselves with vain speculations, but It is only here In the truth and revealed Word of God. that light is thrown on the dark problem of llfeand death. This Word has opened tho veil that hides the mysteries 'of the world to come, widely emfligh (or us to learn that "the dead who die In the Lord, are (already) blessed,"' that destined for endless existence, and having the princlpleof immortality, they have entered live state of departed spirits, the region of peace, and rest, and happiness, and that In] due season, they shall have another, more | lasting, aud more glorious habitation provld-,, ed by that Almighty power which first gave us being,and decreed the eternal happlnessof His children in His Kingdom of glory. "When a house Is pulled down," says St. (j Chrvsostom, "with Intent to rebuild It, or re-j pair its ruins we warn the inhabitants out ol 11 It, left (hey should be soiled with the tlust (1 and rubbish, or oH'ended with the noise, and i so, for a time, provide some other place for | them, but wtien we have new trimmed audi dressed up the house, then we bring them, ( l>ftek to a better habitation. Thus Ciod, when j He ovcrturueth this decayed room of our j flesh, calleth out the soul lor a little time, I and Icd^eth It with himself. In some corner! of His kingdom, repalreth the Imperfections of our bodies against the resurrection, and then having made them beautiful, yea, glo-i riousand incorruptible, Iledoth putonrEouls] back again into their acquainted mansions." That there Is no such thing as a neutral state I of the soul, n state In which It is neither hap-1 py nor miserable, a state of slumber, wherein, j as some suppose. It sleeps away the time until tho rcsurrcctlou, without senze either or pain or comfort, that death brings no such oblivion, Is clear as noonday from the sacrefl scripture. When we hear our Sitvlour declare to the penHent thief on tho cross, "This day thou shall be with me In Paradise," when we hear St. Paul alllrni, shortly before his martyrdom, that he "desired to depart, and to be with Christ," and that "to be absent from the body," was "to be present wlth4the Lord," we may, without fear of mistake or error, cherish the belief, that all who have departed this lile In the faith and hope of the Gospel, have entered luto that "rest which rental net h for the people of Ctod." For If the soul of the dying malefactor was to remain torpid till the day or judgment, how could he be that day with Jesus In Paradise? And If St. Pauls soul was to be kept from Christ until that same period, what reason was there for him to desire death, or how could he say, that to Kn r?Kirrvn t fi<Am t hn lirutt* woo trv )ia lirffifint ! i with the Lord ? His very desire of death was only for this end, that his soul might the sooner enjoy fellowship with his Lord, but If bis soul must sleep with his body until the resurrection, whether he died sooner or later, or notataM, but ITved tctfre very end of the ; world, It had been the same us to liis enjoy ment of Christ. The wise man In Eccl. 12: 7.puts this mailer at rest,- wfren he says,- "The dust, i. e. the body, shall return to the earth, an I the spirit, I. e. the soul, shall return unto God who gave it," itshnll return to Him, that so it may receive its sentence from Him, either a sentence of absolution, according to our faith and obedieuce, or of condemnation, according to our unbelief and impenitence. In that glorious region, then, prepared for the departed by Crod hlmselt, the spirits of the righteous now dwell, forever free from sin, sorrow aud pain, unutterably blest with the Bresenco of the Redeemer, amid theglorlesof [is kingdom. Nor Is the enjoyment of tills reglou of blessedness alter what Is called death, how a matter of conjecture with believers in Christ, or even of hope. It is a certainty, of which they are assured, they know tbat such a portion is prepared lor them, that "us soon as their earthly tabernacle shall he dissolved," they shall be with the Lord in His kingdom. It is the inheritance to which they have been born and which is therefore reserved for them, the almighty power that made It is pledged to put them into its possession. To It the patriarchs looked forward pilgrimage, and with still grater certainly 1 docs the Christian look forwurd to it as being i at this instant occupied by his forerunner-Uvo i Lord Jesus Christ. "who is gone before to pre- ; pare It for him, and is coming speedily to re- i move lilin to it." < lJut exalted and endless as the happiness of i the righteous already is, their happiness, ac- i cording to revelation, Rhrll then only be per- i fcctly consummated, when their bodies arc i raised from the dust. When inspiration i speaks of that fulness of Joy which "the splr- i Its of Just men made perfect,'' shall ex perl- i enee in heaven, it is coutinonly In connection i with the resurrection of the body. And thus i we are taught, that the perl'ecliou of that fu- < ture blessed slate will not be reached, till the i souls and bodies of tho redeemed shall be i again united, and both together be glorified I with the Ix>rd. "When this corruptible shall put on Incorruptlon, and this mortal Immortality," then (only) shall be fully brought to 1 pass tho saying that Is written, death Isswal- ! lowed up iu victory. Even iu the heavenly i world, the soul will require, from God's will, ' and for to us inscrutable reasons, some appro- i prlate tabernacle, or suitable covering, in ; whir.ll to dwell'and in order to Its complete i happiness. With such an abode, the Apostle i tells us, the Immortal spirit shall be provided, ' It shall receive a lit habitation, such as shall i perfect Ms happiness and be the medium through which it will be eternally received, even "a building of tiod, a house not made with hands eternal in the heavens." Kor lllltt LUC llcil' ?|JVU(U UI IIIU Kauuw tlon of the body of the redeemed, and not of heaven itself, as same suppose,-is evident, not only from his train of thoughtnnd argument, but from the expressions lie uses to describe tills future habitation, in the text he calls it ''nu house eternal-in the heavens," and in the next verse, "our house which is from heaven; w ith which house," he further says, "we earnestly desire to be elorhed upon. And in another place, he say*, "wo ourselves groun , within ourselves, wailing lor the adoption, , i. e. the redemption of the body." The dwelling, therefore of which lie speaks, is that fu- I ture and separate abode destined for tbe soul | <M every Individual Christian in that happy and heavenly state, i.e. the saints resurrec- 1 tlon of the body. Let us briefly consider ihe ! description the sacied writer gives of the ubodc which every redeemed sosl, at the resurrection, and everaficrwards, shall separately inhabit. It is "a building of God," such as shall be formed and prepared by almighty power and Infinite wisdom, and be thus adapted in its nature to appear in the presence of (tod, and before the throne of History. It Is "not made with hnnds," and is therefore in- 1 hercntl.v and essentially different from every- i thing earthly, a pure, perfect, and spiritual b(?ly. "For there Is a natural body," such as we now have, "and there isa spiritual body," 1 such as will be raised up hereafter.As "flesh and blood cannot inherit Incor- , rapt Ion, the risen bodiesol therlghteoiiH-slmM be suited to dwell with God, in the light of ills countenance, and amid the full blaze of ! His glory. That amazing transformation, utterly beyond the highest, reach of human Ihoucht, will be effected by the hand of Hod, ! In the b. dy of every lallhtul foUower of HI* I] i son, our Lord Jesus Christ. "We shall all be ! 1 changed, in a moment. In the twinkling of an j eye. at the last trump, for the trumpet shall i( sound, and the dead tliall be raised incorrupt- j! Ible, ami wo shall ho changed." Then will "tlisl corruptible put on Incorrupt Ion, mill , tills mortal put on Immortality." Then shall the turfy be made at once spiritual In Its nature, and endless In Its duration, an ab'Rle "eternal In the heavens" fur the glorified spir- n It, subject neither to weakness, sintering, nor J ilctav, l>ut a living life iti ttie realms cit light ! and glory, where "there is fulness of Joy, and pleasures fur evermore..' Then shall the happiness of (lie redeemed of the J.orJ, Uo period, houndloss. and eternal. Such, ltrethren, are the cheering prospects which the text holds out to our view. And let us he assured that those Joyful anuouncemenls, of a resurrection to endless life, arc not "cunningly devised fables," wlileh moek our longing for immortality, framed to heanile and delude us Into (also liopos. They arc glorious and eternal truths, proclaimed from heaven, coming from the throne ol light, did the Joyful sound his reached the liabitations of men, to animate us in the the warfare with sin and the struggle for the true life, to ,:onso e us In the troubles ol our earthly journey, and comfort us when called to a oriel separation from the beloved departed. They are truths which are brought, before us with and evidence, and a power that puts t lie unbelief of man to shame, and dotles the resistance of the most callous, They are truths of which we are reminded, and established In, bv all tne services of the Eastertide, this festive season of the Church, in which we rejoice in the the resurrection of Christ, our elder brother, and our living Head, irom death and the grave, a< the first fruits of those who sleep In Him. He is risen, so shall we rise. IIo rose in the body, so shall wo. lie lives, so shall we. for ever and ever It. the kingdom of His Father. He Is our Saviour, and we are ills redeemed. Those aro truths In which wc mind to express our Joy and hope, by the adornment ol the sanctuary with living preen and bright flowers, Just rising from the grave oi winter* "Lot ns keep liich festival. On ilits most bli gscd il v of day*, When G<?l Ills nioroy uliowrrt to all I Our >nn Is risi-li with bik'ht ray#, Ami niir (lark Inai tsnjitce to son Sin ami might Wfuru Him floe." And oli, Brethren, let us never forget, after what these announcements of a future unit blessed life Invito and urge lis to uspire. It Is nut for a poor, perishable portion, hut for n crown of Incorruptible glory, not for some empty honor, or worthless prize, butfor a dlailein of heavenly ami eternal splendor, not for a state of Imperfect happiness, alloyed by suffering and sorrow, and soon to end. but a renewed Hie in which the soul, united again to the risen body, made spiritual and immortal, shall be exalted to the highest perfection, and be crowned with honor and happiness, by llio Lord of Glory himself. Oil this prospect of life and Immortality, let our faith and liope be ever fixed. Let us think of death, not as the extinction of existence, but as the taking apart of the soul's tabernacle no longer suited to its residence. Let us think of the departure of the spirit from Its frail tenement, as the call from above to enter the ' building of (iod, the house not made with hands, eternal in the licnvens." These prospccts will soothe us in the hour of bereavement, strengthen us In the seacoti of nature's sloih. I protect lis against sin's allurements, ar.d will j raise us above (the {world's deceitful charms. J These prospects will give us a living and Joy Itll liope, ill our 1111:11 sirugi;iu uiuiiuu hum enemy, w hen the earthly house Is about to be dissolved, and the Immortal spirit take its filial flight iroin earth and sense. Hut if these bright prospects are ours. If those are glories which the love of God. holds out and oltVrs to each of us, "what manner ot persons ought we to be in a'I holy conversation and godllncs?" For It Is also a solemn truth nn<l the decree of God, that to those only "who by patient continuance in well doing, seek for r!ory, honor and Immortality, will He cive eteinal life," "The hour Is coming, when the d?-aJ shall hear the voice of the Hot) of God, and shall come forth"'?''some to everiastlng life, and some tosiiame ufld everlasting contemp j."' The night Is fnr spent, the day Isnt hand, let us tlu-rofore cast off the works of darkness and lei us put on the armor of light. Amen. And now, to Him who hath raised from the dead our I/ml Jesus Christ, the great Shepherd of Ills Hock, be given to Him, and the Spirit,and the Eternal Son,all might audi glory. Amen. At tlie Methodist Church. The Itev. W. R.

One and all they hud vanished from the scene. And yet. we are asked to believe that these panic stricken inen hazarded their lives in so hopeless a task. The Roman guard, the stone, the seal, rendered it Impossible tor the disciples to have succeeded even If they had been brave enough to have made the attempt. The more you study|the subject, the more yon will be convinced that the theory of the disciples stealing the body of Christ, iuvolves absurdities which place it beyond the credence of any rational being. The members of the Sanhedrim were themselves ashamed of the Htory which they hired the soldiers to relate. It Is something remarkable, that the charge af having stolen the body of Christ was never brought against the apostles when they were nrraigncd for preaching the resurrection. What then is the positive evidence which goes to prove that Christ did rise from the jrave? The New Testament thus enumerates i the appearances o.'Christ, after his rcsurrec- , Lion; "to Mary Magdalene, to the women :omlng lrom the sepulcher, to Simon Peter, 1 lo the two disciples on the way to Emmaus, to the apostles, in the absence of Thomas, to the apostles eight days afterwards, with I'homas M the sea of Tiberias when seven of the apostles were fishing, to the eleven In Ualllee," and St. Paul here adds, "live hunirc-d brethren ol whom he was seen at once Mid last of all," he says, "he was seen of me also.*1 These appearances occurred at various times and under different circumstances, rhe dlselplo were not deceived by a phantom ar an apparition, but the apostles publicly affirmed that during the space of forty-days tht?y were associated with Christ, talked with hi in, ate and drank with him and touched liim with their linnds. So that, there could be no Illusion, for the resurrection1 body was not x shadow, but a substance and there were the prints of the nails and the wound of the *pear challenging tlio test of Thomas, the irltlc and the doubter. The whole subject, then, narrows Itself down to this; is the testimony ol the aposiles credible, nnd as witnesses. are they trustworthy? What Is their tllU llllljtiv CWiViaUUl 1UIO IUt.1 till I.-.! Ill II I,.1.11 I is Impossible. No one can believe Christ to i>e the Son of God, the Saviour of the world, ivho has any doubts oa this point. No one sin exercise n saving faith In Christ unions lie 1 s fully satisfied In his own mind that Jesus < rose from the dead. ;\Vhnt then are the proofs? The first thins I ask you to notice Is, that I mr Saviour frequently predicted that he would rise from the grave on tho third day. He not only tanxht It privately to his disciples, but he declared It public!v to the Jews. It was to bo the "sign'' that he came from Snd, the proof of his divinity. His enemies lid not forgot the prediction. They said to I'llate, "Sir, wo remember that that deceiver said while he was yet alive after three days I will rise attain. Command, therefore, that the sopuleher be made sure until the third lay. And why this precaution? "Lest his Jlsciples come by night and steal lilm away ind say unto the people he Is risen from the iead. So tho last error shall be. worse than the first.'* I'ilate replied, "ye have a watch. :o your way, make It as sure as you can." And inns "ut'iyrc inu einuaimmi; ?ji niei body hnd been completed" they hnd made the sepulclier suio. had scaled the stone and had set a watch of sixty armed soldiers to guard the body. Between mid night and sunrise ot the third day these disciplined soldiers were startled by unusual occurrences; "there was a grant earthquake: the angel of the I.ord descended from heaven and rolled back the stone from the door, and for fear of him the Keepers did shako and bccnmc as dead men." Alarmed, they hurried Into the city to tell the ofllcers what had happened. In this extremity, the only resort, the lastj refuge of the Sanhedrim was a falsehood for whlih they pay "large money." They bribed the soldiers to propagate the report. that "the disciples came by night, and stoic hiin away while we slept." This was the theory which the Jews adopted In explanation of the empty sepulclier. That the body of Christ was missing, both parties, the disciples and the Pharisees, were agreed. The only point of disagreement, and that a very material one, was as to how the body was removed. So in this nineteenth century that Is pflll the question on which hinges the divinity of Christ and the truth of Christianity. The pharisees said the disciples stole the body; the disciples claimed that he rose from the dead: No honest and truth loving mlud can fall to discover that the story of the chlcfprlests, bears upon its very face a falsehood, an absurdity, tor, consider the condition of tlie disciples. In the first place, they were lacking In moral courage, when their Master was arrested they all forsook him. Three times, Teter cowardly denied him. Thomas, who only a short time ago hnd said, "Let us also go that we may die with hini,"i had disappeared. Alarmed, discouraged, the j Ltiem? The high moral character of theaposties has never been questioned, their integrity tins never been impeached. Their persecutors never charged them with immorality or nccnsed them of nny crime. Nor have the enemies of Christianity, during these eighteen centuries, ever denied tlmt the apostles were men of exemplary virtue, of honest convictions and of sincere motives. I,et ns briefly notice: II. Tho vital consequence of tho resurrection of Christ to tho system of Christianity. !>t. Paul, In our text, makes IL the basal fact of the whole system of christian falt-li.- "If Christ be not rl*en, our prcachlug Is vain, we [ire false witnesses, your faith is vain, ye are yet in your sins." Prove to tho world that I'hrist did not come forth from the prave and Christianity would not live through a day. The empty tomb is tho very foundation of christian faith, aud If that bo destroyed, all is lost. I note three results as consequences which necessarily Tollow the proof of tho resurrect lion of Christ. I. It proves the Incarnation. I II. It Is the seal of the vicarious sacrlflco. III. It Is the only absolute proot of our Immortality. ? At the Baptist Church. Rev. Mr. Mondenhall held Interesting religious services In the liaptistclinrch, bat o\rliter tnn #11 <iji nnrvi ?i t m on t. wa liavn nn tinf/.o n f Ills sermon. Mr. Mendenhall Is greatly be- I loved by our people, and wo regret that we should not have been able to reproduce at least a part of his sermon for a people who would have been glad to see It In print. At Hie Colored !UetIio<Ii?t t'hnrch. Kev. K. K. Wall, pastor of the colored Methodist church, delivered a sermon appropriate , to the occasion. The congregation was unus nnlly large, and the preacher was listened to 1 devoutly. The colored Methodists had bestowed much time and labor In the decoration of their liouse of worship, and their effort In making beautiful emblems, mottoes, and figures that were pleasing to the sight, give evidence of ' ?ood taste and au appreciation of tho proprieties of tho occasion. The colored people r?re devotional and they brought their best ( skill to aid them m their labor of love for the , Saviour of mankind.- Ji 1 >1 H i rw * mi? Tlie following Is a pnrt of Mr. Wall's ser-^ mon: Fonr nor J-o* for t know that ye sork .Tesits tt'lilcfi >vn5 crucllloj. lie Is not hrre for hu b rlscti.?Matt. f?-0. Fear not, said the nnsrel. to the devout wv men who had come to the sepulchre, for I know Unit ye seek Jesus who was crucified , To seek u cruel iled Savior has Leen the delightful employment of t'hrlsua?.f? In nil nues ot the world. liy this excrei-e iholr hearts has been refreshed and Ktivnglhened. so that they have held on their way rejoicing. All of those who seek Jesus who was crucified, arc firmly persuaded,that without un lute-rest in him they cannot be saved. The human mind is so constli.uted, that it pursues after an v object with nil ardor proportioned to the advantages which we expect to ?ain by possessing it, whilst (lie s'nner doth not consider the divine favor as necessary to true happiness, or vainly endeavors to obtain it by his own (,'oodness nnd piety Instead of seeking Jesus who was crucified, lie consider* him as a "root sprung out of dry ground," having no form or comeliness for which lie may be desired. Ilut when the law In Its spirituality enters the conscience, when his eyes are opened to behold his complicated guilt nnd misery; when like Peter he feels himself fMst sinking In Hie deep waters, and that all efforts of his own for his deliverance are unavailing; then he applies to Chris!, for help raying "Lord save or I perish." Sanl ot Tarsus before his conversion, ?o fur from seeking Christ who was crucified, strenuously labored to extirpate the profession of his name from the earth. Hut. no sooner was he persuaded that there was salvation in nnv other, than he Instantly built up that which he sought to destroy, lie not only preached to others Christ crucified as the only ground of sa! vat Ion. but declares concerning him with relation to himself "Yea doubtless; I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, that I may win Christ and be found In him, not having mine own righteousness which Is of the law, but that which Is through the faith of Christ." Let us neglect no opportunity of commemorating his death, that while we partakeof the symbols of his broken body ami shed blood, Jesus Christ may be evidently set forth before our eyes as crucified among us. 1 he devout I'salinlst set a high value on divine institutions. "My soul, salth he, longcth, yea, even falnteth tor the courts of the Lord." Hut his desires do not terminate In the external acts of divine worship, for he adds: "My heart and my ticsh crieth out f r the living Uod." All that the hypocrite or nominal Christian regard Is the outward ordinance, lie Is not here, for he Is risen. These words seems to have been ultered at the door of a sepulchre and they are surely words of no common Import, 'W ben we take a contemplative view of our church yards, and seek for Instruction amidst the mansions of the dead, a silent voice (if I may be allowed the expression) Issuing from the "stone at the mouth of the sepulchre" Informs us that the remains of a person, once known, and perhaps honored by the world llt^s there, but infAr ri.,f ! if iipr?i:ivn in i. lf-iist In reference to the body) "He is not hero, for he is risen." Let us therefore enquire to whom? The preceedinz chapter Informs us that this whs spoken of Jesus of Nazareth, ttic Son ol the \ lr<tn ; he who was to save his people from (heir sins; he to whom all theprcdlctionsof the prophetic writers; the testimony of innumerable and unprecedented miracles, and the voice of Jehovah himself from heaven, all bear wltne.'s that ho is the Messiah the anointed of God. This is thedlvine being of Whom It Is said "he Is not hero." Hut where Is he not? We have already remarked this Information was given at the door of the sepulchre, a habitation for the dead. Rut what need of such an assertion ? Who would have thought of seeking the Lord of Life and glory In the dark repository of the grave? who would have expected to And that holy being, who is the fountain of purity and excellence in the corrupt r**ccptablcs which aie prepared for creatures, who In consequenee of sin, are become subject to death and are Justly doomed to pay their llvesasa forfeltfor their transgressions. Lot us understand what is meant by the declaration "he Is risen." And here, O my soul break out in rapturous exultation and sine with the royal prophet, ' Thou hast ascended on hlga. and has fed captivity captive; thou hast received gifts for men; yea for the rebellious also." Yea that adorable Redeemer, that dear Emanuel, that lately hung on the Cross for our sins, and descended Into the grave for our Justification, has now burst the bands of death by which it was not possible that he should be holden and arisen trlumphantfrorn the tomb In orderto prove that all power In heaven and earth is his, "raise your eyes and tune your tongues the Savior lives again, not all the boite and bars of death the Couqucror could detain." At the Colored PrcMbyterlnn Clinrcli. Rev. Emorv W. Williams, pastor, preached to a full and devout congregation. The following being a brief synopsis of his remarks: The words to which your attention Is Invited may be found in Jonah 1st Chapter and lat ter part of the -1th verse. "And there was a mfphty tempest in the sea, so that the ehlp was like to be broken." Nineveh mccupii.il oi inc Assyrian i.mpire was one of the largest cities of which any mention is made in ancient iiisiory. It was to iliis great city teeming with Its thousands of idol worshippers, that (iod commissioned Jonah to go and preach the gospel to the people. Obedience Ik always the forerunner of peace, happiness and prosperity. The great law of nature as well as the law of <Jod and man require flrstof all obedience. This Is absolutely necessary in order to reach the end and accomplish the designs for which man and all things have been created. Obedience is the first round In that ladder which lcadeth from sin, ignorance and degradation, to that higher sphere of truth, virtue, temperance, morality and godliness. There must be a law and that law must be obeyed, then come progress, pcacc, prosperity, and true happiness. Progress towards the great end for which are treated peace of mind and heart and peace with the world and all with whom we come in contact. Go Into the school room where there Is no acknowledged luw, and there Is no order, 110 peace and no progress in the grand results for which the school Is dcslsncd. So it is in the family where there is no law that Is Bupreme, where (here is no sovereign to whom all under the roof bow In humble and cheerful obedience, there Is no peace, no prosperity and no progress In the great race of life. The family that has 110 law Is like a ship at sea without a rudder; It may be drilled and tossed by the waves a long time, but finally it must go down or be shattered against the rociis. .->u 11. is in mv oimi', uuiiuu miu t> ti,i organized body?law must be supremely respected and obeyed. The chimb of Jesus Christ therefore forms no exception to this rule, law here as In all other organized bodies, wields the sceptre of power to which every subject must bow In humble submission. If this Is not done pcaceand prosperity cense, discord and confusion usurp the throne and the whole government Is disarranged. The end at which we shall aim in our dlscourse this morning will be to show that in all ages the Lord Jesus Christ has stood at the head of his church giving commands. And when men have defiantly set lliem aside and ignored the authority ol God, there was a mighty tempest in the sea," which has overruled the devices of men and vindicated the dignity, honor and authority of God. The Tarshlsh bound ship with the combined efforts or the captain and his crew, with (avoidable winds would, no doubt, have wafted It safely Into the harbor. But there was on board a commissioned man, Jonah, not however to go to Tarshish but to Nineveh. "And there was a mighty tempest in tiiesea, so that the ship was like trt be broken." There must be a halt. TheTarshlsh bound ship must suiy and the command of God executed. Thlswas by no means a new tempest, It had arisen before and will overwln*n man lifts up his puny arm of rebellion against God. It arose when Achan of the tribe of Judali stole the golden wedge and the Babylonish garment. It arose when Balaam conceived In ills heart to curse the people or liod. it arose when want 01 iarsus went on that hellish mission to persecute the church. And it nrose when Christ our blessed Redeemer burst the bars of the tomb und came forth conquering the powers of death, hell and the grave. The church of Jesus Christ might well be likened unto this Tarshlsh bound ship with Its staying commissioner. There are a great many who have Joined the church and received their commissions to go work In the vineyard of the Lord who like Jonah are llcelng ; going toTarsblsh when their commission snys Nineveh. There are too man v who care more for ihe pleasures of the world than for the salvation of the thousands who are going down to eternal death. There are Nineveh's all around us even at our very doors, and If we would obey the command of God we can find a tleld of labor any where. At the Colored Rnptlut Church. Rev. Nelson Evans, rhc pastor, held the usual Sunday services In the colored Baptist church, but we failed to get any notes of the exercises. This congregation have recently crccted a house or worship. Arter a long struggle, and many disappointments, It Is beginning to take a strong hold among the colored people. Easter Horning;.

"Mamma, Jimmy lms fallen in the canal!" ; These were the startling words uttered by a breathless child, which curried terror to the heart of Mrs. Karr yesterday alternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Fnrr live In I'lnc How at the , Augusta Factory und Mr. Farr Is employed In the mills. Yesterday afternoon, about 3 o'clock, Mrs. Farr missed her little clttht year old sou, Jim my. and asked where he was. Ills little sinter replied that, he was behind the houHo Ashing. "Oo tell him he had better come homo now," said Mrs. Farr, and the little girl hurried away on her mission. Jimmy was found und the message delivered, lie heeded the summons at once, and arose to accompany his sister to the house. But as ho started his way lay across a railroad trustle, built over the raco from the first level of the canal.! which turns the Augusta Factory wheel and empties Into the second level. As he crossed this, the little fellow was busy wrapping his line around his polo, and, neglectful or his] way, lost his footing ond went headlong into , the water. The current Is strong here, as It. hurries down the narrow race after being churned Into foam by the mammoth factory I wheel, and In a moment the hoy was washed I out Into the stream. Ills terrified sister ran | to the house, not more than a hundred yards [uvay, and startled her mother from her household duties with the cry "Jimmy has fallen In Che canal." In a moment Mrs. Farr was out tho door and rushing toward tho scene of her boy's peril. Not a second was lost, but when the terrified mother reached the water's edge naught was to bo f-een hut a tiny hat floating down the current and a few feet of a fishing pole projecting above the surface. It wassllll held in tne clasp of the drowning child but no ii;iu ikiii'iiuy .miuii ins iu?i> uun.-. in ? ii'w moments It shot to the surface as it escaped from the relaxing fingers of the dead boy, and there was nothing to Jndlcalo the whereuUouta of the body la the yellow llood, '-fj'v : ii k 'Coercive Contributions."

Actlou to Tost the Factory Exemption I.air. Greenville Kctvs. Before Judge Presgley In cliamtferr yesterday the case of lite Carolina, Cumberland Gap <i Chicago Railroad Co. vs. M. 1\ Tribblc. treasurer of Anderson county, on his oillclal bond, was heard. Childsifc Boggs and (J. K. Prince represented the plaintllt'and Wells & Orr the defendant. The action Is brought lo require the treasurer to roplace 51,100 ol taxes collected from the Pelzcr Manufacturing Co. and paid baek under the law allowing rebates of taxes to certain manufacturing enterprises. The law was not only attacked generally, but It wa?specially coutcnded that no part of the taxes collected from railroads should bo used i In the payment from the general fund of a hnmis to manufacturers. When Mr. Prince was proceeding to argue against the constitutionality of tlio exemption ltuv, he was stopped by Judge Pressley, who said that question could not properly be considered by lilm In this action. The only question for him to decide was whether the treasurer had In paying the amount back to the Pelzer Company acted under the statutes, and whether he had construed those statutes correctly. The treasurer was only a ministerial olllcer, and was not expected to go behind the law as he found It. The proper way to bring the question of constitutlonallly Into court would be by an action to compel the treasurer to collect or retain the taxes of the corporation. Aflercounsel had been heard the judge took the papers and said he would probably require two months of hard thinking before preparing the decision. It is probable that, the ease will go to the supremo court for settlement however the decision may be. This Is a direct movementagalnst the factory exemption law and Involves Important questions and immense interests. The FntaF Siln^ Shot. Florence Times. One day last week, Clarence, a little son of !

In proof of this let any thinking "man renil the advertisements contained ill (he numerous newspapers unit j almanacs In regard to patent medicines.! guauos, farm machinery, etc., etc. Why, If many of lliesegmud nml glorious tilings were not humbugs, sickness and death would be no more, farmers would soon grow wealthy without hard labor and, In short, we all would be in the midst of a happy millennium; but when we dcscend to solid (acts we find, as did the preacher of old, that much ol It Is vanity ?much simply nit unmitigated humbug. I once heard an old Jockey say ho. cared not how bin " He he told In regard to tlie good qualities or Ills horse, as there was no Inconsiderable portion of mankind, but what would believe It Implicitly, while the balance would be sure to take It ' cum prano talis, and each trade with him accordingly. An old farmer not long since, rending or the tcsults of a certain fertilizer, said lie "ku'jwed in reason from Its name It mUst be good," for once when he was mighty sick the doctor gin him something that sounded sorter like It. Ilydrargcruni cum critter, lie believed It was. and it cured hlin." No\v this pood old holiest farmer, who would have got] well any how, will glre a certificate that It Is the best medicine In iho worlil, I used last year I wo different brands of commercial fertilizers, and on nettling my guano bill some time ngo, was asked If I could give a certificate In favor of one of them : f told him I would If ho desired It; that from careful soli tests I would certify that It didn't pay one cent profit per dollar on the Investment. To my surprise, my certificate was not taken, and the hope of getting my namo printed In the next year's almanac was blasted: I am willing to give any one of I lie brands of commercial fertilizers admitted to salo in Georgia, the following Indorsement:' Its agricultural value Is by no means commensurate with its commercial; while the commercial value of barnyard manure Is not tit all commensurate with its agricultural." If I can get my name in the almanac on these two truths I would be willing to see It In next year. And tins brings me to the subject I wish to discuss. I have scan nod each number of Tiif. Ctrr.Tivatok since the issue or last April, to s<*e if I might find something more from "Mr G. S.," of Toombsboro, Gn., but have been dlsapnolnted. I am anxious to h?ar how he has come out with his scrub cnttlc manure Ilie past sc:ison. It has been my plan for several years to keep from twenty to thirty head of Hcruh entile to the plow, ns much for their manure as for the beet, butter anil milk obtained. My method of saving their droppings though perhaps not the best, is one I roll into and have practiced for several years. I pen them only at night, but make it a point, in variably during open weather, to cle.in up my cattle yard dally. If I can't hire tills done, I do it myself. Far this purpose I use llKht wooden boxes holding forty or fifty pounds, open at one end, with a bow handle over the middle, and a weeding lioe,using the same boxes also when distributing in the Held. I use no litter of any kind, straw or leaves, but Instead use a small quantity of dry earth as a deodorizer and nbsoibent. I save by tills method only the solid droppings, putting it In rail pens with slight leaky coverlng at convenient points, and when I 1111 one pen to the height of four or flvo fact, I go on and fill another. In this way?rather slipshod I admit?I save annually from two to tour lonsof this mixture of earth und dropping* per head I haul It to the nearest l'.clds In February, dump It in convenient parcels for distribution, and begin anew to accumulate for another year. (Some of my neighbors whose lands are under mortgage, aflcnt to laughatmo, but my time to laugh comes when I gather my crops; and now for the results, and not much guess work: With a slight sprinklingof this mixture In the bottom of a shovel furrow and bedded upon a few weeks before planting, the yield of corn and cotton on poor land is surprising. On land which had been abandoned on account of Its sterility, I have ottcn gathered twenty bushels of corn and holf a bale of cotton per acre, putting of the abo.e mixture as near as I could estimate from a ton and a half to two and a half per acre. The soil, unaided by mature. I have found by actual test to yield only live bushels of inferior corn and from one to Tho increase m yield of sweet potatoes was still more surprising, bringing It up In two seasons from thirty bushels to two hundred pcrncre. I now have one of these fields In outs, without any nppllcullon of manure Hlnce lust spring, and will report the yield, when hnrvestcd. The raising nnd keeping of entile for making manure Is the *iue ?t<? 11011 lo successful farming on poor land In Georgia, and what I hold to be a success ou poor land Is a comfortable support, freedom from debt, with a modicum of cash balance on hand In an Increase of stock or Improvements. Store than this no farmer on poor land need reasonably expect; less thnn this Is failure. To depend entirely on commercial fertilizers, at the prices they nre likely to hold for some years locoine, with which to enrich poor land. Is to lean upon a stick which will ultimately trip you Into financial mire. Hetter sell out or givo away and move to the West where guano Is not needed, if you do not use it as supplementary only to a large home-made manure heap. Bull will closethese desultory thoughts by unswerlng, briefly, the oft repeated question I have seen of late "Does farming pay In Georgia?" If you arc making what a vast majority of mankind are dolly tolling for? 1. e. acoinfortablo living?It doe#; if you arc not?it don't. "Let us have peace." J. B. Fate. Catania, Oa.

What is tho use of the minister pronouncing the benediction when there Is not much attention paid to It, tho women are gathering up their shawls ami their carpet-bugs and their children, the men j are hunting up their hats and walking sticks, and puttiug on thelrgloves and overcoats.

Well, suppose It Is, It may after all, be worth the hearing and may present the trulli in a convincing way, and if attention be Riven It, It may be as a bow shot at a venture. The lmpresslveness of a sermon does not always depend on the ienglit of It or even the amount of labor expended upon Its production. Tills hearing with a critical car, with a fault-finding spirit is unfriendly to edification, and Indeed to comfort. What benefit can a hearer receive who is on the lookout for grammatical biundeis, for rhetorical mistakes, tor badly constructed sentences, and for a delivery which violates the rules of elocution ? This thing that your preacher treat* of, Is a matter of life aiul dentil, and do you expect to fritter away these solemnities by a few unimportant criticisms. Would not the prisoner In the dungeon awaiting the day of his execution be so absorbed with the message from the executive oll'erlng him pardom, that lie would never think of criticising the stylo or manner of the messenger? Nor would the drowuing man care for any tiling but his owu deliverance from the waters, and for the person of his rescuer, whlle'the grammatical, the rheterlcal, tho elocutionary features or qualities of the message are never thought of. Home Made Manures. Southern Cultivator. Tlic question Is often asked. "Does It pay to make manures on the farm ?" It has paid nie beyond a doubt, I have been planting cotton three years utid will give yon tlie kind of nmimre applied each year, also the yield per acre,and tlie yield of my neighbor who plants a part of the same placc In 18*2, tlrst year, I put out what lot manure I found on the plaec, at tho rate of cart loads per acre, as lar as I t wonld go; the bal-1 ance of the Held was manured with it*) pounds I,abosand 100pounds of kalnit per acre. Average yield, 150 pounds of lint, col ton per ocre (Sea Island or long cotton). My nelsJhbor, who claimed to have the best Sea Island cotton lands of the two, made 200 pounds of lint (I felt quite badly). In 1S8-1 I manured my Held again, putting :J8 cart loadsof lot manure per acre, also 200 pounds of acid phosphate and ten bushels of cotton seed. Yield, 175 pounds of lint per acre. My neighbor, manuring again with all bought manures, made 100 pounds per acre; he concludcd to plant oats In his field the third year. Thought a change would help the land. I wanted some good I home made manure. My Held was manured the third year (1884) Just as in 188:5. Yield, per] acre, 215 pounds lint cotlon. My lands are In ; better condition now than they were three I years ago for a crop. They have gradually Increased In yield; this I attribute to the old burn yard manure. Where only the cominer- , cial fertilizers were used thccrop fell oil". If I had to farm, depending on bought manures, I should be like other young fanners,! quitting tho farm and hunting work in the! cities, for I am satisfied I would go to the poor house in ft few years. I agree with MajorI Dent; we have the cart before the horse. Just! so long as we attempt to farm with coinmer-, cmi iciuiizcrs atone, we nave tlie curt in front' of the horse, ami it wont do; he can't pull It. j Now, If we are going to farm, let us have the | cow nnd hog; have the lot nml pens well lit-. tered with mold and trash; give them a comfortable bed, and you ha ve 110 idea the quan-1 tity of manure you will make during the. year. I had rather have one acre manured | with the compostlngsof one cow (her stall wellj littered), than S12 worth ol the best fertilizer, tliat can be had. The milk and Increase from ! thatcowwlll more than pay for the bedding and pasturing of the same. Our country (the seaboard of South Caroll-j na) grows the crab grass to perfection; It Is a native grass and tons of It can be made per, acre, and it makes a very tine hay if cut In the1 pronor time. Tons of pea vines can also bo made per acre, which Is excellent forage fori cattleauring the few wintermonths that they ought to be fed. I have attended agricultural meetings nnd there we have,as a leading topic forulscusslon, the commercial manures (thocart before the liorso again). We want to know which Is the best brand, which is the best adapted to, our land. Well, we go to work and expert-, incut with them. This year a certain brand j' does well on one man's farm, he tells ills; neighbors, Micy all invest iu it the next year; they get the same name or brand, but not the same article, consequently they all make a short crop. There is not one farmer in a thousand who, after lie has bought ton of commercial fertilizer, knows what he has got. 1 ilon't: but show me a pile of old lot manure, 1 know what it is good for. When you apply It to your land you have something Hint will be there for the next, crop. I.et us take the aid Major's advice (I say old because you have Him down In Young Fanner's Club as an advisory member). Gear up right, take a fresh start, have more stock 011 the farm, make aioro manure at home (don't count tlie cost of making it),and diversify our crops; place less rtliuncc lu cotton, und wo can do well at farm What a Lnnd D??l Conveys* (Southern Cultivator.)

Southern Cultivator. I wlsli to sny a few words In favor of sorghum cane, and urge our small fanners to plant it more liberally. There la nothing grown on the farm that yon can more easily determine your net proltt on, than sorghum. The seeds produced, if allowed to reinnin uneathered until thi-y beeoinp quite hard? I which is also the proper time for stripping, cutting and up the cane? will II properly taken care of fully ray rent cf land, cost of planting, cultivating, stripping and cutting. The syrup which you get alter paying the expenses of haulingand working up the slalks, whether the yield be great or small, is your | net profit. There is no part of sorghum except the stubbie that may not bo utilized on I the farm to advantage. The blades If takou i care of make good fodber, and when grinding If the weather is open, the crushed stalks or bagasse, can be spread thinly on the ground to cure which it will completely do In a few days, alter which it may be taken up and housed, and In limited quantities safely ami profitably fed to horses, mules and cows, admirably supplementing a short or Injured j fodder crop. The seed Is fed for everythldg on I the farm, and rich wholsumc food at that. For chickens, large or small, no other grain is better. In feeding to fowls I throw out the heads and let them shell it for themselves. mid from the way they converse while feeding, I imagine they are delighted with their work. It has greatly the advantage in this latitude of the ribbon cane, In that no jut cent of the stalks have to be reserved for tlie nest year's planting, but all, the finest as well us the poorest, may be gsound and made Into syrup. With the ribbon cane it Is quite Idlflfcrent. It follows the scripture in that It I produces after its kind and if you do not re' nerve the very finest canes which arc the very i ones of course that would make the most syrup, you will in 11 season or two Hud it so short and deteriorated as to be utterly worthies?. i know for I have tried it. The syrup from sorghum, If carefully made, is not to be sneezed at?no, sir?though I have seen some who turned up their noses at it without sneezing ?well fot such pay the "tariff" 011 their treacle. The yield of seed per acre In weight Is often greater than either corn or oats on the same soil, and more especially Is this the case in dry seasons. In myjndgment it Is preferable to the much praised Millo Maize. Let us, brethren, plant more liberally of sorghum. The Campbells arc Coming.

Innocent girl Kiltlntr on n rough slab which is supported by four spr.iddled lefts too long or hlxh to permit the feet of the child to touch the floor. With nothing to rest hlsback against he is required to Immmnr uway at his lessons In splto ot the inconvenicnec and pain he experiences. This Is 110 llollon, my friend, no poetry, no highly colored exaggeration. We are dealing with bold facts now, and fact* that we, hs a people, ought to be ashamed of. Much bad Judgment is displayed in the construction of many of our barns cnlled school-bouses. For Instunw, in one township there Is a house about forty feet long by twelve wide with a chimney at one end. The teacher tells me he has about forty scholars. During the extremely cold weather we have had, was it passible for that number of children to keep anything like comfortable In a honse of such dimensions? It It possible for one flic at the end of the Dtmuing 10 neai sucuanouse7 sow crown those forty children intoaspace twelve feet square (for tbut Is wbut you must do If you put them near enough to feel the .Ore) and expect them to study. Can they do it? It requires no philosopher to answer that question?the most Ignorant lather in thecfoutlty can answer it correctly. It .Is nonsense to claim for the public school system the possibility of perfection, or even passable success so long as wo have such Houses. Tito evil ought to he remedied. It must be remedied. Jf the people can not. or will not, build and furnish better houses, the trustees must do it out of the public fund. Tliat would be robbing Hie children, for atlme, of their already supply of educational advantages, but unless the people act, and net with a vlin, in Ibis matter, necessity will force such a course upon us. Tho trustees have the right to use the Cubllc fund In tliat way, but It is unmlstakaly tho people's duty to supply good and well furnished house*, and shame on thein if they Ml to do It. In some section", fair promises have been made to set the ball In motion next Summer when the crops are "laid by." We hope these promises and resolutions may be faithfully executed, and that before tho beginning of the next school year many neat, comfortable, but not extravagant, school-houses may be found giving their refining influence to the sections in which they stand and to the entire county. About Good Fanning. (Southern Cultivator.) I would like the render to begin to think as I do on some points at leust, I am satisfied that no business how known to the live ?Tenter divisions of the earth, has the snm.? lonest money in it, with the same attention, i\h [arming. At the present- day, I have a pint of land that never hacl a pound of commercial fertilizer on It until tills year, and I put It In cotton and left test rows. I gathered one third ns much on the non-manured as I did on the manured; In other words, I gathered nt the rule of eleven dollars worth of produco on non-manured and thirty-three dollars worth 011 the manured. Well I ndmlt that the prepnrailon and cultivation on each plat was the some cost ten dollar*: first acre made eleven, or one dollar profit, while the second made thirty, or twelve dollars profit after taking one third otr for the manure, hauling and scattering, and for packing and handling the extra cotton, which was less expense than one-third the price of cotton. Ah the profit In auy business Is all that keeps it agoing, It Is our business to calculate the profit. I say then, eleven dollars' worth of produce to the acre then ten for preparation and cultivation, Just loaves one dollar clear profit per acre. Now, take acid phosphate, lot raklngs and cotton seed, and mnke a good compost of 2,000 pounds per acre, a cost all told of loss than six dollars, and we get 53.00 worth of producc: then say ten dollars off for preparation and cultivation and eleven more for extra picking nnd purchase and hauling or manure und you Mill have Sl'-J.OO left, or k clear profit. 80 you sec I nin corning to tlio noiut. Now we can see how to counr whether farming can bo mnde to pay, even in Georgia, where so many have bccome bankrupt since the war trying t-o furm. We see then that-dy manuring wo ean do as much In one year as we enn in twelve years without manure, as tne profit is what we are all aftar, you see we would on the first plan have to buy mules at four years old and work twelve year*, which would leave them at sixteen years old as worn out. We would huve to empty twelve corn cribs to feed hands nnd mules, the twelve years, make trades with twelve different sets of hands,and settloaccounts for the sninc, and at. the end of the twelve jvare would have to throw up and ouit for good, us many have douo. Hut-on the other hand, we would make ns much In one year and have better land every your; and at the cud of twelve years we could show one of the most independent farmers in the entire country, able to pay all indebtedness and a large profit. A fnrm is like a bank, If you put Alteon liund>ed dollars in the bank and take out one thousand you have only five hundred left; yon can call for It as you like. Just so on the farm; when you take a poor piece of land and pat on it a laruo amount of manure, all your crop does not draw out. but still remains for the ensuing crop; and when you got land up to two bal^s per acre then you c-in stop such heavy manuring and put only enough to keep up to the standard of two bales and you best twelvo to one lu profit. I would like to hear from any enterprising farmer 011 this plan?farmers that arc farming Tor the profit in the business, and not thoso that farm becauso they can do nothing else. O. L. Andebsox. Hygienic Hints. (Chester Bulletin.) But health and human life arc too prcclons to be Ignored tnul thrown uway through carelessness. We regard It, then, a matter of very great Importance and should command tho serious consideration of all our peopla. A filthy town endangers the life of every one In It. It has been well established by hygienists that chills, fever bllliousness, dlnrrhtea and other diseases are caused by nn Impure atmosphere being taken Into ttio system through the lungs mid stsm.ich. causing dc rnngement of tlo liver and poisonin of the blood. Impure air Is generated by tho decomposition of vegetable matter, brought about by heat and moisture. There Is no other*lngic cause of disease so hurtful and Insidious as the slow accumulation and stagnation of the refuse matters, In however small quantity, which are dally produced In and about an occupied habitation. Htaudlng pools, or hollow basins, the result of a depression In the snrfacu of the ground, should not be allowed in tho Immediate neighborhood of the house; for although it Is oriiy the rain-water which at ilrst collects in them, yet there is more or less accumulation of organic matter from vegtalde growth and from the aquatic animals and birds which make i uuaI* r*ithali* rpunrl ? nn?I n? n nrwil nf thin kind Is Alternately tilled aud dried up. Hometimes several times a year, the effluvia exhaled during this process will always becoino more or legs Injurious and dangerous to life. Each family should then constitute itselt Into a board of health and make every home a clan an healthy one. AH yards ought to he raked off and trash burned, privies regularly cleancd out, and disinfectants freely used everywhere. It is no uss (o depend upon the Town Council with its empty treasury to give attention to all the necessary hygenlc conditions of tho town. The Council can, however, do much. Let steps then be taken at once before the hot weather sets In, to cleanse the town: for (here Is one thing certain, unless something is doneloImprove the sanitary condition of tiie tawn, we expect an alarming amouut 01 sickness, and probably deaths, before the end of the present year. The sanitary committee desires all persons In town to have their premises thoroughly cleaned off and kept clean, especially their privies, hog-pens and tilihy pools. The committee, before long, will make an Inspection at every residence in town, to sec what is the sanitary condition of each place.
