Yellow Fever in Mexico.
. Dr. W. L. Preesly Issues the following Id tbe
columns of tbe last week's isBue of tbe Associate
Reformed Presbyterian :
"From letters received from Mexico It Is
learned tbat yellow fever Is prevalent If not
epldemlo In Tamplco There are, It seems, a
camber ol cases In Rio Verde as well, bat
they have been imported-brought from Tamplco
and It is not believed tbat the disease
will spread in that city.
"Let the Church be Instant In prayer to
God on behalf of our missionaries and on behalf
of tbe native converts as well that tbey
may be protected against the learful disease?
this "destruction that wastetb at noon day"
and that all may be overruled for the glory of
Qod and tbe advancement of His oause In
tbat land. W. L. Pressly, Secretary Board
Foreign Mission."
We thoroughly agree witb tbe pious divine
as to tbe efficacy of prayer in many cases, but
if be would relieve the Mexicans or fever he
ought to urge those practloal measures which
are effective In wiping out tbe disease.
In the epldemlo of fever sanitary measures
would be more effective than prayer. We 1
must watch ae well as pray. We muBt
observe the laws of health, if we would be
preserved from the pestllenoe that walketb Id
darkness and would be shielded from the
deatruotlon that wanteth at noonday. We I
mast destroy the pestilence. And the causes ol I
the destruction must be removed. (
Beast Butler oleaned New Orleans so that |
the olty which previously had annually lost t
thousands from yellow fever, was not again t
visited by the dread disease for a quarter of a
century. Uncle Sam's recent efforts at cleaning
the olty ol Havana has been entirely successful
In banishing the disease. The filth ut
the oltlea of Mexico must be removed before (
our prayers oan be effective in preventing *
fever. e
There la, too, In this oountry a fever which '
la more fetal than yellow fever. And It, like 1
its cousin, yellow fever, does not comeunln- 1
vlted. Tbey are both filth diseases, and tbe
typnoia iever, lire yellow fever, is tbe result
of udw. So to speak-, they are cause and
effect.
Id former times tbe ooantry districts were
regarded as more bealtby than tbe cities, but
of recent years tbe facU would lead to tbe
belief that tbe cities are less subject to
typbold fever than tbe more remote locall.
ties, wbere every man may pollute tbe ground
around his well, have bis own pig pen, and
dig wells into which the vilest filth may be
thrown, the natural efleot of which act is to
pollute tbe wells and springs in tbe violnlty
from wblcb we get our drinking water, while
the pestilence and destruction All the air,
wbiob\we breatbe. ]
In well regulated cities these disease lnvit.
ing acts are in measure regulated by municipal
law.
If the citizen of a well regulated town (
. should establish a pig pen under bis window, <
or near his well, tbe most fervent prayers of '
the moat righteous would ecaroely be of suffl.
e3> clent foroe to Induce the Lord to guard his
house, night and day, against the typhoid
lever. And we presume that as long as the
cities of Mexico reek in fllth, that he will
p bother himself very little in killing the germs
wblcb bring death to the Mexicans. The
Lord may take care of their souls In proper
time, but It Is the duty of the Mexicans to
take care of their bodies.
The Presa Association.
All reports of the recent meetlDg of the
State Press Association at While Stone
Springs, give a most Interesting aocount of
the proceedings. These meetings are no
doubt profitable to many, and should be pleasant
to all. One notable feature of the recent
meeting is the Increased Interest of the brethren
In the matters which pertain to the
welfare of the craft. President Aull has made
most popular and acceptable President, and
Secretary C. C. Langs ton is so effl clent and so
popular that be was not allowed to resign.
No man baa ever woiked more effectively
- than haa President Aull, and be 1b now a
power with tbe brethren.
In his addreaa he made pleasant mention of [
tbe memory of tbe dead. And in hla editor- t
ial oolnmn he aaya: "
"We missed our friends Ool. Jas. T. Bacon, ^
of tbe Edgefield Cbronlole, Col. T. B. Crews, ^
of the JLaurensville Herald, and Gen. R. R.
Hemphill, of tbe Abbeville Medium. These
have alwaya been good friends of tbe Asaocl- t
atlon and prompt In tbelr attendance. Tbev 1
are veterans in tbe profession and should lose
no opportunity to be with tbelr younger
brethren and give tbelr counsel and encouragement.1'
For thirty years Messrs. Baoon, Crews and
Hemphill have been active and Interested,
as well as Interesting members of the Association.
Tbe withdrawal of old members, and
the death of others, removes from tbe Association
nearly all tbe original or charter f
members. Bnt new men and new faces are
to be seen In greater numbers than were ever c
t present in tbe olden times. In running t
through the liat, a large per cent, of tbe recent
meeting are new faoes to us?men with
whom we have no personal acquaintance I
except through their papers. y
- As far as we have seen any notice of the ?
proceedings, tbe discussions and tbe intercourse
have been In good fellowship, with j
due regard to tbe oonvictlons and utterenoes (
of other. This is well, and mnet. rasnlt
In good to all. They will learn by personal
Intercourse the lessons wblcb should be exemplified
In tbelr editorial ntteranoes. By
these meetings the Individual mind will be
raised to the higher standards of oonduct one
toward another. Even the humblest may
learn that a brother may differ In opinion
from blm, and still be aigentleman, though an
editor. It is to be hoped that the Influence of
President Aull and the association will be
uoh that in the future each member of the
Fourth Estate may so regulate his editorial
oolumns as to be so honorable and.respectful
that none may resort to unbeoemlng or ungentlemanly
attacks upon another. Men of
intelligence and ability need not reBort to the
low flung device of aocnsatlous, insinuations,
offensive epithets or of being unjust in any
ay to others. The prevailing sentiment of

degradation of the high calling which tbey ?
peraue. It la to be hoped that the manners i
of the street gammIn may be forever barred 1
from the brethren among whom there \
abonld prevail nothing but good feeling. t

Brave Act of a Wuuan. I
L, ' I
Fiction and hlBtory may famish In song
and atory the lnoldenta of bravery on the
part of woman, but Barnwell county will
take the lead. A few nights ago, a party of
would-be lynchers called at the Jail, when ^
the daughter of the thejlff appeared at the j
door. The would-be lynchers demanded the
keya. The young lady Informed the men that ^
her father was absent, but said that she would j
go to her father's room and get the keys. In .
due time the young lady returned. Pointing
a gun squarely at the leader, she told him to ]
leave Immediately, or take the ocnaequences. ,
The leader lead blsorowd away from that Jail
In quick time. J
The Governor ought to take notice of her
act, and send her a letter giving bis official
recognition of the brave act.

Tribute to L. 31. Griat.
In bis report to tbe State Press Association,
which convened in annual meeting at White
3tone Springs, SoartaDburg county, last Wednesday,
Mr. E. H. Aull tbe president, made
the following reference to the late Lewis M.
3ilst:
"Another veteran who has passed away during
the past year?one who was eminently
*?"? n T M rirlot nf tha Yrtrt vlllfl

Enquirer. He was possibly the oldest mem- '8_
ber of tbe profession In the State at the time RC
of bis death, in point of continuous services, .
&s well as In years. In view of bis long and 10
faithful service as editor and publisher of one .
it tbe cleanest and best printed country pa m
persln the State, It would be but proper to
take reoognitlou of this service by a suitable ?
tribute." 3^
All that President Aull has so well said Is
true. No man In tbe State took a more lively to
Interest In the printing business than Mr.
yrlst, and no man more sincerely loved an tr
Interchange of views on tbe practical business
of printing. And no man has ever made d?
i greater success of the business. gi

Cotton Is still booming, and If a thirteen

The good rains, the hot nights, and other favorable
conditions have proved a great mis- e?
fortune to those of our fellow-citizens who ^
ire short on elbow grease. Tbe pass is slm- b<

ME PROBLEM OF SUCCESS ^
AND HOW TO SOLVE IT.
IdVIPP to Yoniiir Men Giving: CondilionN
EimiKIhI to Saccee?llntr?
From Two of America's Greatest
Btt?iiieNN Men.
Russel riage in a recent contribution
;o the New York American, writes to
poung men as follows:
"The greatest dauger that lurks near
the path of a young man is the danger
of setttng into the habit of taking
ilcoholio driuks to excess, sometimes 1
Decau.se he thinks he needs a stimu- ;
lant.
"My advice to every young man of
to-day is this: Stay away from friends
svho want to make you a good fellow.
A. good fellow will never amount to
mything in life, and never, no matter
how great the temptation, no matter .
how worn out you may feel, start the
babit of taking stimulants. Powder
makes a fine fire, but who ever heard
of a man using it under a boiler?
Strong drink may make you feel more *
powerful for a time, but it will wreck
your system as sureiy as puwuei wm
wreck a boiler if thrown in a fire underneath
it. I have never used any
intoxicating. liquor or wine of any
kind in my long life, and it i9 my
honest belief that if it were not for
that, I should not have retained my
health until now. The young man
who drinks not only wa9tes money
for something that is worse than useless
to him, but he is continually exposed
to temptations that would not
approach him if he would keep away
from strong drink.
"To my miud, no young man should
ever form the habit of smoking either,
not because it might injure his health,
but simply because the money spent
for tobacco, is wasted. Procrastination
may be the thief of time, but tobacco
wastes considerable of it.
' Too mauy young men of to-day believe
that most ot our successful men
owe their success to good luck more
than to hard work and clever management.
Nothing could be more fooliah
Thprfi mav be a few men in the
world to whom great fortunes bave
come through good luck, but their
number is so small that they do not
count. : ? '
"Success comes to the man who has
determination and persistence against
all odds. One of the secrets of success
is to go right ahead unruffled by victory,
as well as not cast down by defeat."
Andrew Carnegie in the opening
talk to young men entitled "The
Road to Business Success," given in
his recent book, "The Empire of Business,"
says:
"Let me indicate two or three conditions
etsential to success. Do not be
afraid I aim going to moralise, or inflict
a homily upon you. 1 speak
upon the subject only from the view
of a man of the world, desirous of aiding
you to become successful business
men. I hope you will not take it
amiss if I waru you against three of ?
the gravest dangers which will beset
you in your upward path. g
"The first and most seductive, and t
the destroyer of most young men, is j
the drinking of liquor. " I am no tem- 1
pereuce lecturer in disguise, but a *
man who knows and tells you whpt j
observarion has proved to him; and i
I" say to you that you are more likely ?
to fail in your career from acquiring i
the habit of drinking liquor than from i
any, or all, the other temptations like- 1
ly to assail you. You may yield to i
almost any other temptation and re- j
form?may brace up, aud if not recov- t
er lost ground, at least remaiu in the (

will not hinder your advance iu life

hold it inconsistent with the dignity
and self-respect of gentlemen, with
what is due from yourselves to your- i
selves, being the men you are, and es- i
pecially the men you are determined to
become, to drink a glass of liquor at a \
bar. Be far too much of the gentle- t
man ever to enter a barroom. You do i
not pursue your careers in safety un- s
less you stand firmly upon this ground, i
Adhere to it and you have escaped (
danger from the deadliest of your foes. (
"The next greatest danger to a t
young bu8iness*mau-in this (community
I believe to be that of speculation, t
When I was a telegraph operator here \
we had no Exchanges in the City, but t
the men or firms who speculated upon i
the Eastern Exchanges were necessarily
known to the operators. They 1
could be counted on the fingers of one h
hand. These men were not our citi-1
zens of first repute ; they were regard- ?
ed with suspicion. I have lived to
see all of these speculators irrepairably <
ruined men, bankrupt in money and f
bankrupt in character. There is r
scarcely an instance of a man who s
has made a fortune by speculation t
and kept it. Gamesters die poor, and c
there Is certainly not an instanee of a e
speculator who has lived a life creditable
to himself, or advaDtageous to
the community. The man who grasps
the morning paper to see first hoW his
speculative ventures upon the Ex- e
changes are likely to result, unfits t
himself for the calm consideration and ]
proper solution of business problems, J
with which he has to deal later in the s
day, and saps the sources of that per- (
sistentand concentrated energy upon $
which depend the permanent success, ]
and often the safety, of his main (
business. (
"The speculator and the business t
man tread diverging lines. The former
depends upon the sudden turn t
of fortune's wheel; he is a millionaire *
to day, a bankrupt to-morrow. But c
flio mon ofhiiuinpua krinwtt that oulv I
by years of patient, unremitting at- 1
tention to affairs can he earn his re- }
ward, which is the result, not of i
chance, but of well devised means for *
the attainment of ends. During all 1
these years his is the cheering 1
thought that by no possibility can he 8
benefit himself without carrying pros- t
perity to others. The speculator on
the other hand bad better never have
lived so far as good of others or the
pood of the community is concerned.
Hundreds of young men were tempted
in this City not long since to gamble
in oil, and many were ruined; all t
were injured whether they lost or
won. You may be, nay, you are cer- r
tain to be similarly tempted; but
when so tempted I hope you will re- c
member this advice. Say to the 1
tempter who asks you to risk your
small savings, that if ever you decide "
to speculate you are determened to go
to a regular and well conducted house "
nhiHit fnir Will I
fair play and about an equal chance
upon the red and black in such a't|
place; upon the Exchange you have|
neither. You might as well try your t
luck with the three-card-monte man.
