How-1 , that, we confess, Is a mere matter ol. libit ton. :t tint Mr. Uoddey'8 idea was feasible e is no longer any doubt. The greatest tmcier" .f America has taken hold of it. he prop se* to \\ork it for all it is worth, i in tlie interest o! cotton producers as prod by Mr. Knddev; but in the interest of. sell and associates. He is into a scheme j reby he will be enabled to squeezes the i iiood not only out of cotton producers,; also out of cotton consumers, and al-j tgh what he pioposes to do is, as some: >le siid of the ltoddey plan, contrary to, , In view of the manner In which laws on I siifj-ct In ve been and are being enforced, i ail tosee where this will make any diflice. The plau of the proposed new tru>>t,1 ntlined by ttie Chieago correspondent ol ! Charlotte Observer, is as follows: varies, who is now under investigation by j Lex jw committee, at New Yo.-k. has I led a combination ol all the paleutees of i ndrlcal baling machinery and a number lie presidents of southern railroads. The me is not to put these machines luto the dsot the ginuers.but to own the plants! lughtout the south themselves and buy! , seed cotton. They claim that there Is a I ugot nearly SS per bale in their method;l this margin will enable them to coin-, id the ?trade. both in cotton and cotton I, and pr.icticaliy to control the marnet. lere is any such saviug iu their method as ' claim, you can readily sec that the small iers would soon be a thing of the past, the planters would only have the Searies binaiion to deal with. 1 think another dclous part of the scheme is that the comy has been organized in New Jersey and its otlices iu Jersey City, a favorite resort j rusts and other schemes that won't stand >lng." >?. miniMisn ihpxn piiarffps are true, and Jo not doubt It for a 111 mule, what" will be j result? Controlling t l<e patents oi ndrieal baling machinery, and standing, elth I tie railroads, this new trust will be posiuou lo levy a tax tbat will be com* ibleonlylo the revenues of the general minient. Take for instance the scheme uyIns only seed cotiou. and think of the Abilities. The trust will be able to dictate I price at which seed cotton must be sold,) it will also fix I he price al which it will lint eolton. The difference la price be-1 en seed ai d lln' cotton will be of no Iii-i <-t lo farmers, for lhat, no matter how ! it, will be the protli ol the trust. But the ter won't patronize th<? trust; lie will < to private gins! How? Here is where patents on the cylindrical bale comes in. * bale being so much more compact and .Her, will tie hauled over the railroads for money, aad it. will serve as a lever loj e the larmer lo patroul/.H the trust, le Enquirer does not desire to unneces ly amriM nnyuoay; oui 11 nonesuy uees that unless something is done to pre-, t, it foresees just such a condition ol af < as is outlined above. And If anything Is e done to prevent, It should he done with-; delay, foronce this trust gets a hold on principal iudusuy of the south, there is , earthly power of which we 'have any wledge, that can possibly shuke li loose.

Uwlng to tbe uupleas-l ho t weather she has not attended Sunday i School very often this winter. The members of the A. R. P. Church In i Bradley honored their pastor, Rev. D. G. l'hlllpps, with a "house warming" last week. | I think he received every '.hlcg in the way i of supplies for his pantry, from a basket of eggH UJ jellies preserveo, oiu.,?even iuiwu occu for tbe lalthful cow. Mr. and Mrs. Silllvan, of Willlamston, S. C. have recently been the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Chiles, Sr. Mrs. John Morrow and little daughter of Ml. Carmel, who have been spending sometime with Mrs. Morrow's sister, Mrs. D. \V. jay, have returned to their home. The Baptists held the first service In their new church yesterday. It will be a beautiful building when completed. Rev. U. H. Burton, in behalf of the church, returned their most sincere thanks to Mrs. 1 Eva Youngblood for the beautiful pulpit set, 1 which she presented to the church, and to Mr. James Steifle for allowing us tbe use of bis , htore while ourcburch was being rebuilt. In fact, he expressed gratitude to all who bad aided our building commlteee In any way. The church Is not free Irom debt, but like busy bees, the members are still working to raise the indebtedness. 1 Do not forget the lecture by Rev. R.J. WIN I Hams to-night week, the 8th Inst., in the Baptist church. Mrs. Williams has kindly consented to sing for him In connection with the 1 lecture and of course that will add greatly to , I he entertainment. Remember It Is only 25 cents for adults and IS cents /or children. Come all. who wish to know more about the "Holy Land" and to nee pictures, which will cause you to almost Imagine that you had visited tbe country. Yuu will doubtless receive the full value of < your money. Come early, as thelecturo will begin about nan past seven o ciucti, ran iuau j time. Bear In mind Bro. Williams has really visited the places, of which he will exhibit pictures. It will not be like listening to a lecture by one who has gained his Information from reading. | Mr. J.

U. ^ THE WEITING OF HISTOKY, ; rite MnkcrN of History do Not Cure to j Write History. From the Yorkvilie Yeoman. The Newberry Herald and News is righ j when It says: "Our people do not read history. They seem lo be content to make history. We believe the fault lias been with our schools. Not enough importance has been attached to the midy of .South Carolina history in theschools. j Jur children are taught the history of Eng- j land and Greece and Home to the exclusion I j! our own history and they do not get enough j -touth Carolina history to awaken a thirst for | i deeper and more thorough study of it." Sometimes we think our own people are too |! *uperttclal to appreciate tbevalueof their own | ?the history of themselves and their immedi- i ute predecessors for say the last two or three ! hundred years or such matter. We do nol j think it Is because they are actually ashamed [ r>f ail of them , for some few have been pretty i fair men, even as comnared with the giants of | ih? middle ages. John C. Calhoun was one of the greatest men America has produced, yet ; In his native State, South Carolina, we have serious doubts whether a hundred copies oi < tils life can be found, uot enough to have paid , a publisher for a fraction of the cost of print- ' Ingit; William Ullmore Sltnmes' peerless novels are rarely heard of, much less seen In j, our libraries, and the Herald and News says I that sales of u recent history of Newberry' county was not more than enough to pay for the binding. We will warrant that not three 1. score men In the State know that Capt. Chick- j j en was a game cock In the wars against the '1 Creeks and Yetnassees. while they kuow more ' of King Philip than they do of Klug llaglar; our people know more of Mollle Stark and the battle of Kenning ton thau they do of Marion i ?nd Black Mingo. An inquiry as to the Identity of Sumter or Lee would stagger the aver- j ( Hge Carolina pedagogue and Petlgru, Hayne | and McDuflie are comparative strangers; 1 many of them know more about Catiline < than they do of the Tories of Carolina, more ( of Philip of Macedon, Alexander, Cyrus. Hannibal, Scipio Africanus, Citsar and soforth thau of Kershaw and Kennedy and Hampton i and Gary and Orr and Pickens and others who have added to the glory of their native I State. Yes, South Carolina is a poor state in which to publish a history, for while she has , made much, she seems to be ashamed of her- { self and Ignorant of her own lineage; she looks more afier the affairs of other people than she does about her own. And we think j our schools are largeiy to blame lor it all. | Pedantry runs rampant. ' I rn W A TT7!1 uu. c< Qrrd+n-m ?& o uj o y^y as for Hydrants, Bath ter& for hinerv and Wa A Wonderful Cnre. Sbe found Him ou the street with a crowd around Him, everyooe asking for help. They were all talking as fast as they could, telling oneanother what great cures He had made, until theiJ woman thought: "If I can but touch , His nlnthpa. it will be enoueh to heal I me." So she pressed close to Him and J put her trembling fingers on the hem of His| garment. Right away she' felt a thrill through all her body, and j she knew that she was well! The; good Physician turned to see who : touched Him, the woman was afraid > and hid away in the crowd. ' "Who touched My garments?" H j asked. "Master," said some one near, "do ! you not see how all the people press: around us, and do you ask 'wlion touched Me?'" Lj "Yes," He replied ; "some one has; touched Me in a way the others have i t( not." And looking out among the cl noisy crowd He caught the eye of the 8 poor womau. Then she saw she need ' fc not be afraid of One whose face was so! ? full of tenderness aud love. She came close to Him, and told Him all the :a truth about herself. Think how she | must have felt when she heard Him! say in a gentle voice: "Daughter, thy faith has made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague." Do you not suppose that that woman loved the One who healed her, and afterward was always ready to do anything she could for Him? We know who the good Physician : ? was. There never was ^another like! Him. Yes; we know His name is | Jesus, and we are glad that He is liv- J ing still, and is just as ready to help j and heal sin-sick souls as He was to ; P cure that poor woman. We are indeed very ill. We do not! I know how ill we are. The truth is we are going to die if we do not find the 1 Great Physician. We may try all the I ways we cau think of, as that woman did ; but, like her, we will never grow better, but worse and worse every "ao r? tvn 1 i trek ii *i Ioqq Ti7*> np?r " enough to Jesu9 to touch Him and hear 1 Him say, "Thy faith has saved thee." I He does not want us to join the I ornnrH unrl follr nhnnt. Him. nnr! vpt B never came uear enough to Him to be j cured of sin. There were a great many people in that multitude around Jesus who were never any better for being there. No doubt they talked loud enough, asked the Lord for a ^ great deal, but they never were in 3uch heart-earnest as was the woman who wanted truly to be cured of her ?( sickness. Jesus wants us to be whole ; pure in heart, speaking truth with our lips, | F loving what is good, hating all that is evil. He wants us to mind what He says, and try always to please Him. j What a happy world this would be if every sin-sick soul would come to 1 Jesus aad truly be "made whole !" ^ ^ Little Worries. ^ Wa liouo roa/1 nf a hntHo ntminsf cannibals gained by the use of tacks, fbey bad taken possession of a whaling vessel, and bound the man who _ was left in care of it.

They were ready to meet lauce and sword, but they could not overcome the tacks on the floor. We brace ourselves up against great cala- "3 raities.

A pastor was absorbed in studying the question of socialism, when his wife came in with despair on her face, and j ahe wanted advice about the servants. I "Oh, ray dear," he replied, "I cannot' give ray time to little matters like domestic service. I am tryiug to solve} the social problem of the universe." "Well," replied the wife, "you solve) the problem in the kitcheu, aud I will | promise you to solve the problem of i the uuiverse in twenty-four hours." I Really, it is easier to dispose of those! great questions which cover the world > than it is to meet aud successfully! overcome the little worries which pre-i sent themselves day by day. ! ' Ip1 Were yo'u ut Church. The habit of absenting one's self;"1 from the Sunday servicesof the church | . is one very easily made.

I of Jesus will be there, even if an un- ?}): worthy member is present. Jesus may \ an be present especially to meet and for- jln. give that unworthy member ; and who i te, ure we that we judge a brother or a on sister? We must be careful not to re-1 peat Thomas' error, or we may also? we almost certainly will a so?repeat j k? his unbelief. If we do notjlikeThomas j ; come back again to the place where Jesus meets His disciples how can we; pi expect to meet Him? At least let nojj3'1 [>ne be so jealous for the honor ofi ri Christ and his Church that he shall j dishonor both by avoiding both. | Think all you can of the good quali-; ties of others; forget aud keep silent concerning their bad qualities.
