Donblful Preachluf; ?Visitors and Pea Viues. Ninety-Six, S.C., Sent. 20,1S97. I Last Sunday many of our good Ninety Six- j lans attended services at Reboboth, some eight or ten miles distant from this place. Tbe morning was cool and the heavens over- J cast with fleeing clouds, but nothing short of a deluge could dampen the courage or desire j to hear Leltcb. All arrayed In Immaculate lluen, we sallied forth about 8.30 o'clock. As we rode along enjoying tbe cool, salubrious breeze, and observing the fine crops that lay along our route, we were made aware of the fact that dust would rule the day; os king CJ,~| u** Ul" Hlcnopcort thfl nlnnriR ?nd the dew disappeared, the dust began to rise, and snowy-wbite apparel began to take on a less snowy appearance. In due season we sighted Rehoboth, surrounded by a beautiful grove, wblch was to the weary, dusty travelers, a Laveu of rest. We were among tbe first arrivals, and had plenty of time for usi nga clothes-brush?not unnecessarily, either. Very soon vehicles came pouring In, and In an Inconceivably short while the grove was an animated scene. Tbe church, though of ample size, could not accommodate tbe crowd. The song service was Indeed sweet. Marsball's voice has not lost any of Its sweetness, and as he poured forth his voice in song, how readily one could see his earnestness! Mr. Leitch, In his usual manner, preached concerning the standard of Christian living, imploring bis hearers to raise the standard of their lives to Christ's standard, and not bring the high standard Christ has raised down to their poor, weak lives. Mr. Leltcb said many good things, and many things be might well have left unsaid. After an intermissiou, during which dinner was eaten, the crowd again listened to Mr. Leitcb, on the danger of compromises. This sermon, as witb the forenoon sermon, had some capital advice and was. taken as a whole, true to nature Mr. Leitch 1- ??V? t -? r> K oKau> t*r/\ uan UCCU picnvuiug nw iwuuwwku awav unv weeks. and closed wttb lust Sunday night.

Pea vines have been mowed, raked and piled, and the fields are very pretty, thickly dotted with these high stacks ot vines. In a few days this will all be stowed away in barns for winter consumption.

Straight to the Graveyard. [ The following, taken from the Charlestoi Critic, explains the situation In Charleston and shows bow the extra nice people of tha | clt$ treat plain, honest people who ore no familiar with their own highly refined nc (lions: One of the most accommodatingand affable conductors on the City Railway line Is i I young man not long from the country. HI native polltenens and suavity manner dl< not, however, save him on oue occasion Iron I offending one of Charleston's ladles who 1 punctilious about the respect due our citj and its institutions, as all of us undoubtedly I ought to be. The conductor in question is oc the Meeting street line, and Is frequently called on, of course, to answer the question Does this car go to the cemetep?" mean ing Magnolia. Charleston's far-famed City o the Dead. At first our young friend Irora tht j Interior,with the most sincere desire to pleasi I possible, failed to appreciate our reverend for persons and things of a local nature am the precise shade of English > equlred to deslg nate them properly to the ears of those "U the manner born." One of the very first U put the familiar Interrogation to ouryouni conductor was the patriotic and punctllloui lady in question. What was the shock to hei prlmordlally trained and habituated ea; when the smart young man briskly re sponded: Yes'm. Get right aboard. This car goei straight to the graveyard." The lady nearly fainted, and, It Is sald.ai soon as she could get to headquarters, re ported the conductor for bis unconclous lr reverence. He, however, still pulls the bel cord but be Is cured of the bad babit ol call ing graveyard by Its "early English' name which bis ill-trained youth caused bin to become habituated. Another Paper Stopped. (News and Courier.) Evidently our esteemed contemporary, Tb Cycle, baa bad trouble wltb one of Its readers and makes some pertinent remarks upon i subject wblcb has occasionly obtruded ltsel upon the wisest In tbe business of "pleaslni the public." Tbe Cycle says: "After you get angry and stop your papei Just poke you finger Into water, pull It oul and look at tbe bole. Tben you will knoi bow sadly you are misBea. a man wn thinks a paper cannot thrive without bis sup port.ought to go off and stay awhile. Wliei he comes back, half bis frlentlB will no know be ban gone and the other half will no care, while the world at large kept noaccoun of his movements. You will tlnd things yoi cannot endorse lo every paper. 1 he 'Book o Books' Is often very plalu and hits some bari raps, but If you were to get mad and buri your Bible, the hundreds of presses wouli still go on printing it. So when you sto your paper and can call tbe editor names, tb paper will still be published, and what I more, you will read It on the sly." As to tbe truth of what the Cycle says w shall neither affirm nor deny. It is practl caily Impossible for any newspaper to pleas everybody at all times and upon every sut JecL The world Is wide, Its interests are ve rled, ltd oplDlons many, and tbe best that tm best newspaper can do Is to be courteous am Just those who do not agree with its views am policy. It Is to be expected at times thn smith will not be pleased with what is salt In Jones's Interest, but ail tbe Joneses, a least, should be pleased, and though th Smiths would outnumber the Joneses in i general round up, we have often thought tba a remarkably large proportion of the Smith ureglllcu wilu iuc qcuoq ui uinui luiiunuuu ji a marked degree. Most or tbe Smiths wb can read aDd write are broad-minded enouel to appreciate a good thing even though the; be Indisposed to appropriate it. There are some men, however, who are si impressed with their owu infallibility tha they cannot appreciate the Infallibility o those who do not agree with them, and ther is nothing short of absolute and uncond tlonal surender that will satisfy their deslri to make tbe rest of mankind walk lu the! ways. It Is human nature. But ail the sam the wheels will ge round, and tbe newspaper will continue to do business at their oli stands and in the best way, while those wh "stop the paper" will borrow it and read^il is to be hoped, with a better appreciation of I than when tbey thought that tbey owned ii Men not only want to live rich, but to dl rich ; the best, easiest and safest way to d both is to take a life policy at once in tb Travelers, with Aiken & Kills.

It Is caused by a [ specific organism which Is almost always Ini | troduced Into the body through drinking wai ter, The organism gets Into the water from 8 tbe discharges 01 loose rick wuu ine uisease, j or possibly by the development of an usually, i harmless germ wblcb occurs In tbe lntestineB r ] Into a harmful one. Typhoid Is railed a rural y j disease, because about two cases occur In the r country to one In the city. This Is probaly i ! not true In Indiana. Iu Massachusetts, New f I York, and especially in Europe, such Is the ;! condition. If Indiana cities were furnished 11 wllb pure public water supplies and proper f | sewage disposal, as are most cities in the reg glons named, tbe condition would al-o uns doubtedly exist with us. To banish typhoid 51 fever.we must drink pure water. 1 So long as we have two holes in each yard? . one to receive flltb and tbe other to supply us ) with water?we may expect to have this ter> rlbly destructive filth disease. In any city or r town where the vault and well system has a been In use for a period of years, there is no r way but to abandon the welis and Beek a pure r public water supply. Tbe usual conditions existent on farms are about as follows: The farmer at 6ome time s i purchsed a farm, selected a site for ills bouse, built it, and at tbe same time, 1m close proxi8i mity, dug a well and a vault. He alo con w htrucltru uut jui awa) ? uciu lur ijiw utiiuu. Living at this place now commenced, and I very probably within six. ten, fifteen, per baps twenty years, the family begin having ' various aliments. One of the members may l have complained of indigestion and nometlmes diarrhoea, or all might have been so affected. Again, nausea and vomiting after meals might be experienced, or frequent coated tongues, ascribed to biliousness, might appear, and lastly, the awful typhoid fever might make Its unwholesome visits. Why all this? The doctor was probaly called and e his medicine faithfully taken, yet little or no ' abatement was experienced. The problem a has been solved. The sanitarian?sometimes f called the microbe crank?has studied and in B vestigated until the secret was discovered Here it is: At first the ground furnfsbed pure 't water. Neither on the surlace of the earth ' i nor any distance below tbe surface was filth " I lo be found. Finally the vault became full, 01 and the barnyard deep In manure. The ' | vault was tilled up anil another one dug. It, a In time, was also tilled, abandoned, and the u| third one provided. The purifying powers of 1 Mother Earth were finally overtaxed. The 1 rains filled the vault, covered tbe barnyard, 1 and sut k Into the earth at every point. As '' tbe water percolated down It carried to tbe 1 underground streams filth in solution, and at ^ last, although clear and tasteless, polluted J water got into the well. Now the troubles deP | tailed above began to appear. This is not e I speculation or theory: it is actual, practical 8 investigation. Huudreds of limes has this been proved. Thousands of experiments, with e years of study by a great many scientists, have absolutely established the fact that ty6 pbold Is a filth disease, proceeding In almost h every instance from water polluted with our l" own excrement.?Crawfordsvllle Journal. B The conditions as described so well In the JJ newspaper article which appeared In the In3 diana Bulletin likewise exist in Virginia. ,l Typhoid Is more prevalent in the country 1 than In our cleies, hence, I tommend this 1 article to the public arid the profession. 6 Wherever typhoid fever exi6tB, whether one a or more cases, the privies and tbe premises 1 around tbe dwelling, stables aud barnyard 8 should be put In as perfect hygienic sondi 11 lion as poBHioie, bdu inorouguiy uuieti. iue p spring, well or pump should be thoroughly a cleaned out, and all drinking water should be y boiled before drinking by those that are sick and those that are well. See that the water ? supply Is not contaminated by the drainage \ of tilth from any source whatever. If these '' recommendations are observed the spread of ? this disease will be checked. 9 { r s To Ihe Public. d I take this opportunity of calling the ato tentlon of the public of Abbeville and suri. rounding counties to the opening ol the Cot hen Dry Goods Campany, where they will t. find the most complete and up to date stock of Dry Goods, notions, Domestics, Shoes, etc., In fact everything needed for human wear, e and at prices unequal led south of New York o I will continue at ray old stand to supply the e generous public with the usual high staudard of clothing, Men's Shoes and Gent's, furnishings as sold by me In the past.
