It is not beautiful or commendable, but sometimes it is less blameworthy than it seems. Of course to oppose one's own judgmeut of what is best to tbe diviue judgment of what is as wicked as it is absurd. But this is not deliberately done very ofteu. Sometimes we are discontented, annoyed, and perhaps afraid. Evil consequences seem destined to result from indicated methods of action. We shrink back and hold ourselves aloof, or try to, from the plain path of duty. Such impatience as this is only to be condemned and that sternly. But there is an impatience which proceeds from the fact that we are puzzled and confused. We are willing, so far as we are conscious of our own hearts, to do tbe will of God, or to bear it, as the case may be. But we want ito be.assured that it is really the diviue will which has ordered our circumstances. Many a one of us who does not question the rightful sovereignty of C?od, nevertheless sometimes feels that ?in spite of prayers for guidance which had the right 10 expect answer, and of efforts so honest and earnest that it seems as if God could not consistently allow them to come to naught ?his best and holiest endeavors have accomplished little or nothing. In consequence, our lives are out of joint and comparatively fruitless, impatience due to this cause is peculiarly; disheartening and although blame'! worthy, by no means the most cul-; pable. Then there is the impatience due to excess of zeal. We want to hurry God, We long for immediate answers to prayer and rewards for endeavor. We cannot wait for the slow movement ofi events and the gradual workiug out of policies. We are so enthusiastic for our Master that we want to take from his hauds the reins of power and urge on the desired consummation at once. But that would mean disaster and sorrow. He understands this, although we may not. Yet such impatience, we can well believe, is not wholly evil in his Bight, mischievous although its results often are. In either and every case the needed lesson is the same?that of simple sturdy, obedient faith in God. Doubtless he so often brings us face to face with blank walls, so to speak, on purLpose to teach us that we must stop expecting to understand and settle every KtUlLlg 1WI WUIOCUW dk LI LI UC UUUlCUl IU follow hi8 lead. No other lesson, at &ny rate, is more vitally important to us than that. It is not so much our difference of opinion that does us the mischief, but the mismanagement of that difference. !

Several Abbeville people attended the an- 1 nual picnic of the trustees, friends and patrons of the Lethe school on the DeLailowe estale last Friday. The attendance was good a and a good time was had by all. Speeches were made by Hon. F. B. Gary, Hon. A. J. Sneer and Mr. J. R. Blake. A visit was made to the tomb of Dr. DeLaHowe?deep in the forest of the estate. This benefactor has been dead a hundred years. The Lethe school is doing well. Twenty-two r young people are being supported and educated in the institution. Prof. Kllgo hascharge * Superintendent Stevenson has the farm in \ good shape. The crops are magnificent. 4 Considerable Improvement is being made on the estate. Two splendid brick buildings have been erected recently. The Lethe School is a historic institution. Dr. DeLa Howe died one hundred years ago, 11 leaving his estate in perpeturity to educate and train In manual labor, twelve boys and twelve girls. And through all these years the estate has been preserved to bless those children who were homeless or needed help. Judge Klugh is one ol the trustees of the institution, and always takes a lively Interest ? in its welfare. It Is one of his pets, and this noble charity Is In safe liands while he has charge of it. f Actually a Necessity. The numerous public events of the current o Reason of gatherings In Abbeville emphasize p painfully the necessity lof a suitable public J ball. The people of the city are practically ri without a public hall, and when an event out- b Ride of strictly local Interest transpires the d deficiency becomes notorious. ti There is an actual, recognized need for an tl up-to-date opeia house in Abbeville. Atten- n Hon is directed to tbis in the hope that some tl long-headed business man will study the sit- f< uation and proceed to build. There la hardly a room for doubt that the people would sustain t! handsomely such an enterprise. tl Other towns, smaller and less able, have ft opera houses, and therefore secure numerous li attractions which the dearth of room forbids n our securing. w Agitate for an opera house. There is money ti in it for somebody aud good for the whole community. c< Picnics Past. ? The Willow Springs Alliance gave a barbe- f< Cue HDU piCliiU III lUc oriCH. TlOUHc laBl r rl- l< day. Mr. H.

The New York newspapers have een jumping on the Commercial and Its rely 1b sensational. It tells the New York ournal thai the Journal and Constitution Bpresent nothing but "that contemptible ypocrlsy that subordinates the security of eieuuujfBB wuujcu auu vuiiuidu ui me uuu 11rv precincts to the greedy and false notion oat the nefarious positions taken will inspire ortbern investments in the cities." It conInues: "The people of the north are bigger do 1b than we take them to be if they accept 8 a correct reflection of public sentiment in be south the professions of these papers on be lynching question, Just as they are woellly deceived if they believe whaleither says a regard to the sectional question. They iay be Rure that they are charming them rltb their diplomacy In order to more effectually rob them with their Ingenuity." "The people of Georgia," the Commercial ontinues, "favor lynching for the usual rime. Those who contend that lynching Ib onfloed to the lawless element are a lot of Insrual liars who take the people of the Dorth ar a lot of Infernal fools. We might as well ,p nlaln ftnrl hnnpHt dhniit. tha matter Tf heir contention Is true, that the people formUK such mobs are lawless and unrepresenta* Ive, why Is It that these men, or some Of hem, are not ;sometlmes punished? The overnor offers rewards, bat theoldest lnhabtant doesn't remember of one being claimed r paid. THE GRIFFIN LYNCHING. "In the case of the GrIfHn lynching there ras the most perfect order, and It Is a well ecognlzed fact that In the crowd there were radaates of the state university and some of he best people of Georgia, all of whom wonld ompare with the civilization of any country n the face of the globe. There Is no one to irosecute these men for It Is Impossible to et a grand Jury In Spalding county to Indict hem. The New York Journal says: "The aln reason given by all lynchers Is the law's elay." This Is far from the truth of the sit* atlon. If the people knew absolutely that he criminal would be hung by the law In hlrty days from their apprehension, mob loience wouiu continue unaoaiea. n is noi be uncertalnity of the punishment that exiles them. It Is a spirit that breathes the oftlest chivalry, a determination that the mre victim shall not be subjected to the harowlDg experience tbat follows court Inquiry order that her assailant may be properly lUDlsbed. This is the main consideration In very lynching for this particular crime, and U appeals to law will be futile until gallantry ecomes a thing of the past." BRING IT IIOME. "We believe," continues Mr. Blackburn, in law and popular reliance on th* statute -but the people being the authors of the law 7e believe tbat every man should vow his ilghest imd stongest allegiance to that great nwrltten law that calls upon him to protect lis family from despoliation. We 6elleve hat the man who would see bis own child utragedand then call upon the people to ubmlttolaw and allow her to be examined n detail before a gaping, curious crowd, is rorse tban the brute guilty of the crime and hould be hung on the same gallowB with ilm. 'If the daughter of either one of the New 'ork editors that. orlMrlnprl nnr nnitlMnn u??r? lutraged by some skulking brute, and some f their friends should lynch the devil, the rounded editor would have nothing bat iralses for his chivalrous helpers, and would n any event, be the last man, or earth to say. Let the )aw take its course. This states the ase. Lynching for this crime Is a home queslon and must be looked at from every fireside, t is a great wrong for one of us Id the cowdd cities to Bbut ourselves In tbe shells of >ur own security and with hold our sympaby from the poor country man who la with ils family at the mercy of an Inferior and irlmlnal race. His wife Is just as pure as urn and bis little children have their fingers unlas firmly clinched In there heartstrings .h those at our police protected homes, lit Is Ight that our people should protect their lomes In this way and we repeat that God hould be praised every time such a bruto Is lung. The only security to our system of overnment begins and end at the hearthtone." Lowndesville TTTflTT eriTTOAT AiiUAJL WWUWWU.
