March 8,1S97. Mr. A. V. Barnes and J. G. Huckabee went to Mldpleton and other points in Georgia Monday and Tuesday. Rev. E. W. Mason and Miss Nannie Johnson went to Abbeville Monday to bear the lecture that night by Rev. Sam Jones. Some of the people of our State, Judging from the newspapers, do not seem to be "very heavy" on the noted Georgian. It is somewhat questionable as to whether his methods are productive of much good or not. Mr. Tom Verdell, of Rock Fence, Ga., came over last Sunday and spent a pay or two with his cousin, Mr. M. W. Speer. Mrs. D. P. Oglesby and her daughter, Mrs. jas. Jones, oi Ciioerion, came over luesuay, and have since been at Dr. B. A. Henry's, the son-in-law of the one, and brother-ln law of the other. Col. and Mrs. L. O. Martin, of Elbert county, were over for several days last week, with the family of Col. J. T. Barnes and Mr. E. W. Harper. Master Dan Latimer, son of Mr. A. L. Latimer, fell from a wagon a few days ago, and was pretty badly burl. He Is better at this writing. Hon. I. H. McCalla made a business trip to Anderson Saturday. Friday nlghtandSaturday morning we had the hardest rain and the most of It that we have had for some time. Tbe newly-made terraces were fcmdly damaged. So little plowing had been done, that the lauds were not much washed. To date, nature is almost as completely wrapped in Its shell as it was in midwinter. There 1b, however, here and there, a slight indication that It is not dead but only sleeping, and will soon burst forth in all lUaccustomed beauty. One'encouraging thought connected with the backwardness of Spring is, that it gives promise of a good fruit crop. We can, therefore, bear the present depressing surroundings because of the hope for better things in the future. We are sorry to report that some of our citizens, like many in other places, lost considerably by investing in the late building and loan association of Atlanta, Ga. This, and many other sucb corporation failures have caused a widespread distrust as to their safety, and will, perhaps, before a distant day, bring about a return of the primitive places of depost for money and other valuables, 1. e., a hole In the ground, or an old stocking, pot, trunk or box, hid away in the darkest corner of the loft or garret. oevtjrui ui uuj ycupie weut mj /tuuersuu oy [ rail yesterday evening to hear the lecture by Dr. Steel, who attended the late Conference at Abbeville, and with whom everybody, nearly, was so well pleased. The second quarterly meeting for this station will take place next Friday (12th) In the Methodist church, after the eleven o'clock Bervlce. Troupe. LUTHER REFORMATION All Sort* of Paragraphs from Cain-1 bridge. .Ninety-six, s. c\, Marco s, 1897. | Mies Delia Goodwin bas returned to ber bome in Greenwood after a week's stay with her aunt, Mrs, McCaslan. Mr. Nick Johnson is spending sometime with bis mother. Mr. E. M. Lipscomb is having his store lreshley painted. This will add much to the appearance of Main street. We wish others would follow Mr. Llpscomo's example. The Luther Reformation will be presented at Greenwood on the 9th and 10th. These representations are highly spoken of all over ! the State as being both instructive and beau | tlful. We hope our people will attend as j perhaps we might gain more information j than by much study on the subject. Our genial representative. Mr. H. J. Kin-J ard, is home after a two months stay in Col- j urnbla. Mr. Barr, who has been acting as agent for Mr. Mayes at this place leit last week. He sold a number of mules while here. Many friends will be sorry to bear of the sickness of Mrs. T. E. Jones. Mrs. Harris and children are with Mrs. Kellers. Mrs. John Lipscomb Is quite sick from the effects of Jaundice. Mr. Jim White, of Verdery, was in town Sunday. Miss Helen Kellers attended services at the Baptist church last 4th Sabbath. Mr. Durrett Lipscomb is still confined to | his room.

Duo West Wrinkles. , Due West, S. C., March 9. 1797. j Rev. Chas. Lane, of Macon, preached in the j A. R. P. church Sabbath morning. Miss Jennie Edwards made a flying trip to! Newberry last week. Mr. R. W. Haddon went to Greenwood | Tuesday to meet bis daughter, Mrs. Sibley. Rev. S. Patterson has been here In the interest of a new church to be built at Iva, Anderson county. Mr. C'Unkscales, of Anderson, has been on a visit to Mr. J. R. McGee. Miss Zala Brock spent Sabbath with her parents. MissBlrtle Ellis is visiting in the country. Mrs. H. M. Johnson is expected home soon. Doctors J. R. Bell and S. A. Wideman will return from college about the first of April. The lecture of Prof. Chas. Lane was a treat for the many in attendance, and a tiuanclal success for the Y. M. C. A. Everything is very quiet here and nothing of Interest to write about. He dines (sumptuously who dines out of debt. ?r!K ' F \ A Blensecl FAinlly Home. Saps Dr. Jame9 Hamilton, "I love to think heaven is our family home." I His father and two sisters had died in the faith and the remaining members of his family were decided followers of Christ. Not long after he wrote the sentence quoted above, he was called to the family home. The family will r undoubtedly from an undivided family t in heaven, if the union has not already t ?nlrr>n rvlonfl 1 lancu piuuv. What is (rue of the family of the ' reader? Cau he say, "I love to think of heaven as our family home?" Are 1 parents ond children, brothers and sisters united in love to Christ as well as in love to one another ? Have the departed members of the family gone to be present with the Lord, and wait the coming of those who were dear to them on earth ? The family was designed to be a nursery for heaven. God says to every parent to whom a child is born, "Take this child and train it for me." The . parent cannot convert the child but . i?io inilnonr'p rtiiiv hp more nosverful I than that of any other created being. He has the promise of divine aid. How many children would grow up impenitent if their parents were devoted Christians, and labored wisely and prayed to the end that their children might attain to the like precious faith ? ? Christ pareut, have you so walked J before your children that they have I full confidence in your professions of ? seeking first the kingdom of God and r Hisrighteousue^s? A re they couvenced v that you desire their conversion and ? holiness more than you desire any thing ( else? You have conversed freely with 8 them in regard to their temporal in- i terests and propects. Have you as j freely conversed with tnem in regaro c to their spritual interests and prospects? Have you prayed lor llieru as constantly and as fervently as the interest at stake require? Have you I contemplated the possibility of an eter- 1 nal separation between you and those who are dearer to you than your own soul ? ? Nothing in the way of linen lasts , longer than the half bleached damask | and it is good economy to buy it, for in a few months it will bleach to a mhiloneaa nnrl nnt Pl'oW vel low when laid away as rjuinkiy as the fully bleached will do. To prevent mouldy cheese the housekeeper should leave the cover a little open when the cheese is in the pantry. A revolving cheese dish is a capital arrangement "for keepiug cheese fresh. It has a cover that does not require to be lifted off when the cheese is on thj; table. A warmfootbath, with an ounce of sea-salt, is almost as restful as a nap. Poilrile in t.hp water until in cools, dry with a rough towel, put on fresh stockings, and have a shange of shoes, and the woman who was "ready to drop" will feel much better in* ten minutes. ^ The dairymen should carefully see to in that the milk should be drawn from the cow into thoroughly chean and sweep pails, and the cai chould continue in all the succeeding stages until the milkis used. Jn nearly all cases the cause of the early souring is to be found in the lack of care. r Cold boiled potatoes sliced and but t in milk gravy, and boiled mi warm, ? are very good with any kind of pork, especially ham and bacon. They are more delicate if the gravy is thickened , with corn starch and enriched with butter. This is a way of saviug pota- h toes as the gravy forms much of the P dish. WALTER L.

K. M. NORTH, 8ol, Agent. Q1 I I?JO ? ???????? A very Great and AiiHplclotis. From a letter written at the request )f some Philadelphia gentleman : "The tree principal criticisms of he treaty are, firse, that it commits ;his gonemment to submiting to arbitration questions that may arise in connection with the Monroe doctrine. With sincere respect for the gentlejien who, it is said, have suggested ;his objection, I think that it is quite jnfounded. and that those who have idvanced it must have failed to ob<erve the careful language used in the :reaty. The words upou which the criticism is based are found in Art. IV., as follows: "All other matters in difference, in epect of which either of the hegh :ontracting parties shall have rights igain9t the other under the treaty or itherwise." What, then, are "rights against the )ther"? In the theory of the municipal state and of all its autonomy, the ights of one citizen against another ire essentially and exclusively those hings that the law of the state enjoius ,ipon each in regard.to the order. This s the whole definition. Precisely the ?ame is true in international law. rhis, I believe, all writers on national ind international law agree in. To illustrate these propositions, I ake it that the United States has no rights against Great Jiritian in regard :o her operations in Abyssinia, nor rvould she haveany rights against us if *e were to attempt to share in the sartition of Africa. In the case of Turkey, if we were to seize the whole of Asia Minor and stablish peace and order there (as the British have done, in substance, in ftgypt) we should have invaded no ight of any power except Turkey. The same is of course, true in reipect of our relations andcouduct with he states of the western hemisphere jndcr the Rlonroe doctrine, or under iny other policy that we may think it ust to adopt. It was, then, the clear and perfectly inderstood distinction between the ights of oue nation against another, Did their interests and policies in* regard to other nations, that doubtless ed to a separate treaty in regard to the Venezuelan question ; for both governiientfl knew that the affair could not jossible come within the scope of the jeneral treaty. You will see, therefore, that the ahrase of the treaty which is criticised s the most apt possible to mark the ioctrine unaffected. The second objection is the fear that ;he treaty may affect our attitude in regard to the Nicaragua canal, in which ;he interests of the United States are io deeply concerned. What I have ilready said disposes of that solicitude ; [ have no time to go into detail about t. The third and last objection I have aeard i9 the supposed danger of leavug it to any European power to name in umpire In certain contingencies, [t is enough to say that, so far as our jonsiderable experience has gone in tuch matters, we have never had oc;asion to complain of the action of any iovereigu in mauing an umpire or in ieciding a dispute. In the great arbitration treaty of 1871 we agreed that three members of iio Honcvu trihnnul uhonhl hp named ly three sovereigns, two of them Europeans, and t at if any or all of ;hes<e membeis, the King of Sweden ihould name tliem all. And, in the lame treaty, he did not hesitate to subiiit the very importantqueition of our boundary on the Pacific coast to the Emperor of Germany. I am an intense supporter of the Monroe doctrine. I believe the buildng of the Nicaragua canal under the luspices of the United States to be of argent necessity. I believe most earnestly in icternaiocal arbitration to the utmost extent hat civilized, just and self-re9pecting lations can go ; and I most earnestly i lope that the Senate will ratify the , reaty as it is proposed as the first step , -very great and' auspicious?toward he attainment of peace among naion9." Your Mollveii. 1 Don't be too sure about your moives. They are very agile, cunning, ' leceptive. You hide protect, defend, ' ind shelter them. You seek alliances < or them. You dres9 them up in pretty l ilothes. Your blood is interested for i hem.' It is an old story how blind < mreuts are to the fault of their own ( ihildren. Sometimes when everbooy ( ilae can see that your child is a mean ittle scamp, yon are sure he is a lovely ittle angel. Just so it is with your 1 notives. Don't be too sure about hem. Don' talk too much about your moives. It's a delicate business, this natter of your motives, and the fact s people are a great deal better satisied with the judgment they form by vatchiugyour motives in action, than vith anything you may say about them, t does no good at all for you to proilaim : "Now my motive in this is >erfectly noble and high.
