Abundantly Satisfied.
The editorials Jin the different newspapers
lead us to believe that the silver men were
surprised at their strength. They lacked
only a small per cent, of winning. ThiB,
Taken into consideration, with the fact that
McKlnley was elected by over a million plurality,
ought to satisfy all the parties. It is
well when an election pleases everybody.
'l'ho silver tight Is to be renewed four years
hence. This is right if the people so will it.
All good citizens should do as Bryan does,
bow to the will of the people.
Notwithstanding the the fact of the general
satisfaction at the result there Is some evidence
of bitterness on the part of some.
This is all wrong.
mioht mat as well recognize
AUO pG\S?/kW Uiiguv j ? ? _
soon or late that the free silver movement
w- cannot win as long as the United States Is
alright with other countries than those ol
Mexico, China, and Japan.
It occurs to us that we have heard that this
country has been sending Missionarses to
thoRe countries for the purpose of trying to
fcy civilize and Christianize those benighted
people. If this is so, it seems a little strange
gjg r that the civil government should go to these
same governments for their financial policy.
Br" '-inr We bave heard much of the scarcity of
HKjnp money, and ol hard times we have heard not
' a' little. When this talk is traced to Its
source, is it not true that the lault lies more
with the individual complalners than with
the government. As a rule, men who>re
industrious and frugal are prosperous and
satisfied.
|& ^ We kaow of very few men who energetically
apply business methods acd are carelul
of their money who are not prosperous.
Sometime active men mlBdirect their energies,
but the government is in no way resDonslble.for
this, and could not give to such
persons the desired relief, even If all the silver
In the world was coined.
MThe only security from poverty and dis'
-? tress lies in good Judgment In business, apg
v plication to our pursuits, and a careful
husbanding of our resources. We are not
babies that we need to be coddled by the
fc government.
The Subject Being Trespassers
From the many notices which we see not
only in the Abbeville papers, but in numbers
of our exchanges, we Infer that this country
is Infested with an Innumerable host of trespassers?men
who disregard the property
rights of their neighbors. If it were not so,
why the necessity for Incurring the expense
of posting or advertising lands?
An example ought to be made of some of
those strolling people who go on lands where
they are not wanted. The laws of the State
*- A * - thot ctmh men
OUgai It) OC lliauc BU SLIUUK I.ua?
would suffer for the disregard of the rights ol
their neighbors.
When a man rents or buys land, be Is clearly
entitled to its possession, and bis right to
exemption from Intrusion should be respected.
All the birds, game and fish that are to be
had on his land Justly belongs to blm, and
l the laws of the country should protect him
In these rights.
Every man who enters the land of another
with gun and dog to kill or catch the fowls,
animals or fish of another Is a trespasser, and
his purposes are unlawful, no matter whether
he goes in search for bis neighbor's chickens
or his partridges, his pigs or his 'possums.
Everything on the land belongs to the owner,
whether wild or domesticated. No man hat
a right to endanger the property of another
by carrying torches, and he has no right to
cut and destroy the timber which does not
belong to him.
The sooner an example is made of trespassers
the better it will be.

Rev. R. L. Grler and family, now ol Steele
Creek, N. C., were In town last Sunday, the
guests of their friends Mr. and MrevBernau.
Mr. Grler entertained bis hearers Sunday
morning In the Associate Reformed Church,
taking for his text: "And herein do I exercise
myself to have always a conscience void
of offence toward God and toward men."
The preacher dwelt on the Importance of a
faithful and conscientious discharge of all
the duties of life. Pnrlty of thought as to
ourselves and as to our fellowman?and .an
unceasing obedience to the revealed will of
our Master?was enjoined upon every living
creature. While fidelity to the convictions
of one's conscience was a high and important
duty, yet there was another duty that
was of scarcely less Importance, namely: the
seeking after that enlightenment or conscience
which might direct as in the intelligent
discbarge of our duty. While it is disreputable
and reproachful to one's character
not obey the dictates of conscience, yet It often
occurs that In a lack of the ability to discern
the right, from the wrong, we (all into
errors and sometimes commit sin while conscientiously
discharging our duty as we see
it.
A man, therefore, 13 not only responsible
for preserving his conscience void or offence
but he is accountable for his intell'gence, or
his lack of Intelligence, and he commits a
sin if be strives not to seek for that light
which enables him to discriminate between
right and wrong.
While conscientiously striving to preserve
ourselves void of oftence we may ignorantly
do that which is uojust to our fellowman and
sinful in the sight ot our Heavenly Father.
An honest striving to know the right is
an imperative duty. With a scrupulous regara
lor our conscience, and with an earnest efiort
to know the right, we are not olten in error.
Our religion is based upon an intelligent conviction
of right and wrong, and If we conscientiously
discharge the duties Imposed by
that Intelligence we preserve ourselves void
of offence. A pure heart is always an acceptable
offering at the throne of grace.
Mr. Grler Is one of the rising young ministers
of the Associate Reformed Church, and
his own ability for usefulness increases with
the coming and going of the years. In his
own life and character be exemplifies the religion
which he preaches.
/ The singing on Sunday morning was de
llghtful to the ear and comforting to the
: heart. Sweet choir singing is a charming
' "v " gem In our religious service.
imSP*
Unless our religion has sweetened us
to a very considerable extent?given
us the control of our temper, checked
us in our moments of irritation and
weakness, enabled us to meet misfortune,
and in a measure overcome it,
developed within us the virtues of
patience and longsufFering, making us
tender and charitable in our judgment
of others, and generally diffusing about
us an atmosphere that is genial and

gained one thing is sure, religion is not
having its perfect work in us; and,
even though our Christian life is clear
and positive, it is only as a gnarled and
twisted apple tree that bears no fruit,
only as a prickly bush that bears no
roses, and the very thing which of all
I nthera cco ahnuld have is the verv
* thing in which we are most deficient.
A Christian life without sweetness is
a lamp without light, salt without
savor.

.-THE S..A. L, ? J
The country in CouKratnlAtcil on I1n
Escape. From the Mouth of the
Gobbler.
(From tbe Manufacturers' Record, Baltimore,
Md., November 10th, 1S9G.)
The failure of the New York people to se
? ~ in tho Soohnard
cure a vjuuuviuuk lubviuv m ?uv ?
Air Line, as now announced, should cause
profound thanksgiving, not only throughout
the South, but wherever there exists' any Interest
In the future of this section. That the
concentration of ownership of nil railroads
In the central South in New York hands
would prove a serious injury to this section,
and evantually to all Southern railroad securities,
admits of no question. In the first
place, competition is essential to the best Interests
of the South; It is essential to the success
of Its merchants, manufacturers and,
farmers; It Is essential to the best railroad'
work for the upbuilding of its Industrial resources
and the encouragement of Immigration.
The Seaboard Air Line has given this
much-needed competition. No railroad company
in the country has done better and
broader work for the material advancement]
of the country tributary to it than has the
Seaboard.lt has, In tact, during the last three
years, accomplished more along its 1,000 miles
of territory than many roads have done with
double or treble the milage. Under Its present
management It has been a power for
Southern advancement, and the Manufacturers'
Record has regarded its probable sale as a
menace to the prosperity of this section, even
though not so intended. Iu the second place,
the purchase of the Seaboard would have
been regarded by the South as the gobbling
up of the last independent line north of Atlanta,
and this would have given the politicians
of the populistlc persuasion a new
flgbtlng-ground against railroads. It is safe
to say that under such circumstances legislation
would have been enacted In the central
South of vast Injury to all Southern railroad
cn/.nHMos and thus to all Southern business
Interests. ?
With the details of the recent contest for
control, the Manufacturers' Record has nothing
to do. It may, however, very approprlatelybesald
that the record of the present
administration during the last three years of
probably unequaied business depression is
one of wliicli any company might be proud.
In Ihat time this company has shown a most
marvelous Increase in the magnitude of the
road's traffic, a wonderful development ol
passenger service by the establishment ol
through Pullman trains between Washington '
and Portsmouth and Atlanta, (whereas three
years ago there were only local trains and no
through passenger service.) the establishment
of Atlanta terminals, the enlargement o(
Portsmouth facilities with new warehouses,
office building, enlarged water front, &c., the
raising of the standard of the rolling stock
from a very Inferior condition to its present
high grade with the best locomotives and
mnrt t>ort All these thJnes have been done,
not. as is often necessary, at the expense oi
net earnings. Oa tbe contrary, during tills
three year period the gross earnings have
largely increased, bat better by lar than that
Is tbe fact tbat, notwithstanding this very
great advance in tbe physical condition condition
of the road, the net earnings have
made a very large gain also.
With tbe announcement tbat tbe Seaboard
will continue as an independent system, tbe
people of Baltimore and of tbe South nave
an opportunity to stand by this company and
make sure of its perpetual independence by
giving It tbe most liberal tllity to any other
company, nor out of any hostility to any
other company, nor out of any sentimental
consideration, but purely in self-defense .'or
the future. It Is scarcely possible that any
other great railroad system between Baltimore
and tbe central Soulb will ever be
built. Tbe territory is practically occupied.
Tbe concentration of ownership of exiting
lines into one management would for all time
make Baltimore and the territory from here
to Aianta dependent upon one management.
It would be too late to flgbt, too late to complain
of railroad domination, true or imaginary,
after tbat bad been accomplished.
There would be no room for another line and
none would bo built. This matter sbould be
regarded without any question as to present
management of other lines than tbe Seaboar.
Their management might to-day be as
belpful to the Soulb as tbat of the Illinois
Central now is, (the Illinois Central seems to
be more nearly perfect in tbat respect than
any other great system,) but to-morrow there
might come a change that would be destruc
live to trade between Baltimore and the
south ana to me now rupiuij' ucvciu(/iu6 interest
of this section.
Baltimore and the South must strive to
maintain independent systems, or else they
Invokedangers that may prove of uutold. injury.
The Seaboard is Independent up to
date, and the deal has evidently Tailed. Now
let Baltimore and the South make some vigorous
efforts to see that the independeney ol
this system and the transfer of its ownership
to New York are forever impossible. This
way lies the satety of future business interests
of the territory between here and Atlanta.
Every businessman,merchant,manufacturer
or property owner is vitally interested iu
this. Moreover, everyone interested in
Southern railroad securities is equally concerned,
if he would perfer not to see legislation
that would prove of injury to every
business. Let the business people of the
South see to it that this section in the future
as in the paBt has the benefit of the competition
of independent railroad systems.
OO for U.
From the Baltimore Sun.
Many southerners object to the expression
oo Imrtlvlnor fhfl irlpft f h At
I Lit? UCW OUUbU an iui|<V.ub ?uw
tbe South, as modified by post-bellum events,
Is an Improvement on the old South, but
what would they say If they heard their section
called the "noo South ?" This Is what a
number of northern people who think well
of themselves are in the habit of calling It.
They change yoo, the common sound of the
letter u, to oo, and, by consequence, gay moo
instead of new, sloodents Instead of students,
moosic instead of music, dook instead ot
duke, and dooty instead of duty. The writer
of an article Id the New York Sun recently
tried to show tbat this misuse of the u was
was right and was sanctioned by the usage oJ
all educated people from Maine to California.
But his claim is not conceded by New Yorkers,
uoreven by New Englanders, who In letters
to The Sun describe tbe southern pronunciation
or the correct one. A Connecticut
writer ascribes the oo pronunciation to "Indolence
in phonatlon," and a Louisiana correspondent
takes the same view. It Is conceded
that tbe oo sound Is prevalent in the
North from Maine to California, but not
among the well-educated, for an educated person
is, primafacie.one who is trained to speak
and act correctly. If anyone finds it difficult
to say duty and must say dooty, It is slm
ply because ue nas oeeu lmpenecuy umueu.
If tbe best usage be considered, yoo is tbe pronunciation
approved by tbe educated in tbe
North as well as tbe South in the class of
words under discussion. Some persons who
unwittingly matte a virtue ol tbelr fault and
bavea sense of superiority in revealing tbelr
errors go to tbe length of saying toolip, Toosday,
institoot, staloote, matoority, noos,
avenoo, etc. The oo sound does undoubtedly
exist iu some words, as rude, lunatic etc. but
it cannot be correctly Introduced everywhere.
We cannot say poor for pure, or endoor for endure.
Tbe South is sometimes charged with
a negligent enunciation of Its vowels, bat this
faulty utterance of tbe u Is not among its
misdeeds.

Tbe hriMtiau'h Oomh.
Not infrequently are N Christians
heard to speak of duties as crosses to be
borne ; and I am convinced that some
among them regard their performance
as a complete compliance with the law
of selfdenial. It is a cross to play, to
speak, to commend Christ to others, to
attend church, to frequent the social
meetings, and, indeed, to do anything
of distinctly religious nature. By the
fnrr><? r?f their will and with thfl aid of
sundry admonitions they bring themselves
up to the discharge of those
obligations, but, on the whole, they
feel that it should entitle them to a
place in "the noble army of martyrs."
I am sorry to dissipate the comfortable
illusion ; but I am compelled to assure
them that they totally misapprehend
the doctrine of our Lord. He said that
it was his meat and drink to the will of
his Father ; and he never once refers to
duty in any other way than as a
delight. The cross was distinct something
from it.
Many times we are under the divine
influence wheu we are not conscious
of it. No man speaks a good word or
performs a good deed without being
influenced by the spirit.

Or, Was Hid Translator* of the Bible
a Set of Illiterate Hen Who Failed
to Come Up to the Requirement* ?
We seldom hear an illiterate or weak miud- v
ed preacher attempt to expound the Holy '
Scriptures without also hearing him deliver
pome criticism of the translation of the Bible. ..
A man may sometimes hear an able ana a J
learned man tinker with the translation of
the Biole and still preserve his religious faltb. c
but when a weak minded, illiterate preacher B
I assumes to tell ns from the Dulpit that be
knows more about the translation ol the 0
Bible than did the learned translators ap- )i
pointed by King James, we are not only disgusted,
but we are reminded of these words: ^
"If any man shall add unto these things, v
God shall add uutohloi the plagues that are a
written in this hook.
"And if any man shall take away from the
words of the book of this prophecy, God shall
talie away his part out of the book of life."
It Is a dangerous thing to destroy the people's
confidence In the Bible, a book for
which the greatest scholars have the greatest J
respect. The beauty, purltv and sweetness c
of the language of the Bible Is admired by
scholars everywhere, while Illiterate weaklings,
who lack the education or the ability 0
to appreciate the book, too often assume 10 .
criticise the sacred writings which they do 1
not understand. If an ignorant preacher e
may stand in the pulpit and declare that the E
| translation of the Bible is erroneous, what
are hi6 hearers to believe? Must they throw
jit away as a book abounding in errors? or
must they repudiate the creature who assumes
to destroy confidence lu the correct- "
ness of their Bible?
