Wyatt Aiken, of Abbeville, who represents the Third district in congress, has been spending several days in Newberry this week. ; Congressman Aiken is now serving his first term in the national house of representatives. Since he has been in office he has done some good and effective work for this district. He has been especially active in the matter of securing better mail facilities for the rur*l districts. When Mr. Aiken went to ogress there were sixty-nine rural free delivery routes in this district. Today there are ninety-three, an increase of twenty-four, secured in two years by Mr. Aiken. Another route is soon to be started \ from Blairs, in Fairfield county, which a while it starts in the Fifth district will serve principally the Third district and Newberry couuty. Tt*e route,starting at Blairs, will take in the Maybinton, . Glymphville and Keitt sections of thiu county.?Newberry Herald and News. -t ICAROLIMA> rHLAincu Rev. Oliver Johnson to Students of Oldest College In United States. Williamsburg, Va., June 19.?The closing exercises of the 211th session of "William and Mary college began today with the baccalaureate sermon preached by the Rev. Olver Johnson of South Carolina from tbe words, "Accordiug to your faith be it unto you." i The sermon set forth faith as a divine ; r>owerto human life?faith in yourself. faith in your fellow man, faith in Jesi:s Christ being the three manifestations r. of it which, taken together and working together, determine our lives. The two literary societies, the Phoenix and the Pnilomathean, will hold their annual celebrations on Monday and Tuesday respectively. The anniversary address before the students of the college, as also tbe alumni celebration aud banquet, will be ou Wednesday; tbe award of diplomas, medals and scholarships on Thursday, tor var PHKE A Vn KOIJA1. j& Another iconiclast is arisen. I The favorite doctrine of campaign and "fourt^ of July orators is attacked, and wbaWwany of us have believed to be a rnytn, one man bas tbecourage to | so declare. Dr. Frank W. Gunzaulus, in delivering, in delivering the baccalaurate address to tbe graduating clasp-of the Armour Institute, Chicago, said: "There was never a more interesting falsehood than 'all men are created free j$ and equal.'" "The Declaration of In1 dependence was the work of 1T1 hour I of intense excitement and on every national anniversary this phase is misquoted because when it is taken from its context it is false. Freedom is some| thing to be won. Men are not born free. Every power into whose control a man comes is a conquered freedom. There are no equals in this universe of God's. God is no socialist. "The problem of problems is to get a humanity that is energetic and mili& tant?that is restful. The world needs men that can observe tbe approach of tremendous coming events as tbe engineer does tbe engine and still remain placid in the face of this force. Get the utmost efficiency into life with the $ lean waste, just as in the principles of - physics. Put your methods into life \ so as to make the engine of life go 3 ahead accurately and with power. The young man of today has an errend to the world and must make himself a captain." i ffi To Hake Cloth From n New Fibre. ?

He sends tbe following extract from tbe London Daily Mail. "With regard to the statement that a Rochdale engineer and weaver have sold for $973,000 a secret process for the manufacture of rhe fiber ramie?a wild grass of the nettle species?Mr. J. W. Lodge of Sowerby Brid e writes to say that tbe manufacture of this vegetable flbre.is now well understood and the initial and original difficulty of degumming has long since been overcoma. Today I have slieves and tops ready for spinning of the most perfect and beautiful character, and which we can produce in unlimited quantities at about 4 l-2d [9 cents] per pound?considerably less than the price of raw cotton. Its purity and intensity of silky whiteness, its softt ness and tenacity, exceed anything that can be obtained, in my opinion, from the best American or Egyptian cotton." Mr. Lodge states that he has manufactured the grass into cloth, dress I goods, ropes for lifting or driving purposes, and other articles. The material, he says, Is capaple of being made up into the finest plush fabrics on account of the length and tenacity of its staple. Object to FHIplnoM Abbreviated Contame.

Where is the line between Geor and South Carolina ? , This question is being very mi discussed in Elberton now, on accoi of the local bills being introduced 1 the Georgia legislature asking pern sion to construct dams across the vannah river. The generally accepted idea is t low water mark on the Carolina ? ot the Savannah river is the line t Ho t mr* ututaj But lawyers who are inveetigat ! the matter hold that the middle of river is the dividing line. The code says that the river is line, conforming as near as possible the treaty of Beaufort. The treaty of Beaufort says the of the river is the line. A lawyer who has investigated matter says a supreme court decis ! makes the middle of the run of main stream the line. The treaty of Beaufort gives al] the islands to Georgia. Some of " islands are beyond the middle of ? run of the main stream. 1 C - ?? niintnnaf fKof oil f a 5 nl o rl n ouiue iu?i aa iuu loiauuo Georgia's; and that the entire bee These embrac Chiffon Suitings, low Silk Waistii Now is t' Your mi( A.'M placed all our Goods on the lounters and them out at v Cost. IV. 1 : I lNNAH SDE. AND PERSONAL PARA!R POWER TO DEVELOP tis j the river is the territory of the government and under the control of the United States. The Tribune doesn't know where I ijj the line is. It is not right sure it | lW knows anybody who does know ; but , ^ would be very glad to have some one 1D_ who thinks he knowB to tell our read- ' QS ers where the line is, and why he I j8 thinks he knows it's there. < a- The development of the great power i ld on Savannah river which is going to 1 waste between Abbeville and Elberton < county has been a dream for many^i n. years, and as no great movement ever j q. goes backward we may confidently I in expect to see something done on these f at shoals at an early date. ^ ? The Savannah Valley Railroad was ly talked of for many years; a great Iron ? highway between Charleston and the 16 west was for fifty years the hope of our ] y' forefathers; the development of the great water power on the Savannah, like the other enterprises, has been in J the minds of the people ever sinoe this 3d editor was a little boy. j d* The railroads have come, and the 1 &r i people everywhere along their lines i is have realized the resultant advantages. ( in Commerce and agriculture have re- < ut ceived an awakening inspiration, and i j?g life and activity is more apparent than j a ever before. ' ?- The development of the great water i power on the Savannah will give em- | ' ploy men t to honest labor, and this emn, ploy men t will bless the people in giv- ; te ing them the opportunity of earning money. In furnishing this opportu- 1 nity the greatest good will be done. i Carnegie may well boast of bis 11P" braries for the rich people and the idle ] set of the great cities, but he would do 5. a thousand times more good if he in- 1 is- vested his money in industrial enter- ] n" prises, where honest labor may become i ^ independent without the forfeit self- J ir- respecl. The recipient of charity and or he receiver of gifts, when he is able to ir" help himself, cannot be as indepen- , dent as the man with his proud spirit and his willing hands?find work to do. Carnegie's libraries are well enough in their way. The cities may be proud of the elegant apartments, and great H. numbers of volumes may line their ;ns walls, but they are not for the masses. The elegance with which they are fur|jr. nished and the presence of the splenrer did dressed people who frequent these ur- halls would exclude the poor. In MAairaU U'mm n til A1 W IoaIt A f LL1CII lUUgli UUIUIU^, auu bUUI i?va vi familiarity with the ways of society, they feel unwelcome guests, in such . company and such places and the con? sciousuess of deficiency along these ich lines would naturally cause the best ant and the most worthy poor to shrink *D from the obtrusion. Q1S* ga_ But furnish men and women with the opportunity to help themselves, hat and the blessings which come from industry and fugality will be theirs. Instend of being the humiliated reing ceivers of gifts, honest toil will make the men and women the proud architects .. of their own fortune. tbe j t0 But we are not preaching. Let tbe town dudes assemble in Carnegie's bed libraries and loaf there to their hearts content. (j0Q Manly men and womanly women the prefer to go into the activities of life where the benefits and the blessing I ,of of labor may come to them. fhp the Conscious of their mate worth and proud of their ability to conquer and are to be independent they lack only the I of opportunity to work. These go tain or i We Core KE The development of the powi which the Savannah affords would I the greatest possible good to us al Those who would work and be ind pendent may do so. Those who ow property in the neighborhood will r ceive benefits. Those who would j into commerce will have a wider at a better field. The paragraph which is personal Mr. liranvine ?eai is pieasnuL iuuw If he should be half as successful j improving the Savannah as he was i building a magnificent Masonic Tec pie in the State of Florida he will d serve a monument as high as the sfe and as broad as the horizon. But b fore he gets the monument, the peop would make no mistake in giving hii i .seat in the Legislature. Any ma who contributes to the improvemei jf the county deserve well of the pe< pie. Mr. Beal is a gentlemen of goc judgement and quick perceptives. oetter man than Granville Beal hi seldom come amongst us.

" I think/' said he, "the mostsingu- ."'a lar thing that ever happened to me .'-.wB was in Hawaii. My father was a mis- :|j sionary in thoee islands, and I was born there. I came away at an early age, however, and most of my life has been spent in this country; but when I was a young man?and a rather tough ;?| young man, too, I may say?I went back there once on a visit. The first 'H thing I did was to drink, more than I ygg should have done. While I was in . this condition an old man?a native '.vtjM ?persuaded me to go home with him. He took me into his bouse bathed my head, gave me some strong coffee, and talked soothingly and kindly to me. " 'Old man,' I said, 'what are you doing all this to me for? " 'Well,' he answered, 'I'll tell you. fcS The best friend I ever had was a white man and an American. I was a poor . drunkard. He made a man of me, and, I hope, a Christian. All I am or ever hope to be I owe to him. Whenever I see an American in yoitr condition I feel like doing all I can for him, on account of what that man did for me.' . "This is a little better English than be used, but it is tbe substance of it " 'What was the name of the man ? I asked him. " 'Mr. Blank, a missionary.' 14 'God of mercy!' I cried. 'He was my father.' "Gentlemen, that sobered me, and, I hope, made a man of me. It is certain that whatever I am to-day I own to that poor old Sandwich Islander."? Youth's Companion. Notice.
