Augusta Beneficed by Close of Blease Administration. / One result, of the downfall of Bleaseism came on Saturday. Heretofore, Augusta bad men skipped over to Hamburg or North Augusta, and from the Carolina side gave Augusta officers the "mer ry ba! ha!" Governor Cole L. pro tected them. Saturday two of them (they had escaped from the city stockade and having Iv en in prison, had not seen the newspapers and didn't know that Colonel Cole, the merry old soul, had quit) skipped .over to "North Augusta. Chief Elliott telephoned magis trate Hahn. The Carolina pffii&V Husbed the esoapes and co m pei Ted them to hot-foot it across the Nottfr Augusta bridge-and, as arranged, '-into the aims of two Augusta po licemen. They are again "?doing time." Except during the Blease regime, -Carolina has always co-operated with Augusta..in these mattere, ; TEere wasite time when we may .have gone too far. But our officers never suffered. For instance when ?Chief of Police Hood hired an en gine and, preceediug down the Port Royal road (the Charleston & West ern Carolina now), brought back two men who had robbed the Na tional Bank of Augusta of a roll. Oh, yes, the bank robbers' law yers were there, and no Georgia officer could take a man from Caro lina withont extradition papers, but -Chief Hood was a man of action. He seized the robbers, flung them on the engine and told the engineer to "throw her wide open" back to Augusta. Warrants charging Chief Hood with kidnapping were sworn out, but that was the last of that feature of it. South Carolina does not want to harbor Augusta bad men and pro tect them after their wrong doing. -Augusta Chronicle., Union Meeting.

MANNING HEALTH HINTS. What Anger Costs. Do you know what it costs yo to become angry? Every time man gets an2ry he shortens his lif so roany minutes or da.yf, perhaji even years. A great deal depend on the intensity of his anger. Ev ery time we become angry our v tality shrinks so much in proporlio: for every outburst.- After even th most artfully suppressed signs o bad temper our vitality become smaller and smaller, until f nail, nothing is left. The moral deduce from the advancement of this late* theory in medicine is, of course that we should never allow oui selves to become angry if we valu our health and life. Anger is a certain kind of cerebra (brain) excitement. The hypei stenic (very strong) subject is a way8 on its verge, while the net rasthenic (nervously debilitated) b( comes infuriated only by a sudde bound of reaction excited fror without. But at the moment whe they are let loose the two are al i kt save that the strongman is a blind? brute; while the weak man is som* what of an actor, and seems-to ail at effect. All emotions are due to disorder fat the circulation of the blood, an $ngg?,. in particular, to an intent ?il?Sron of the small arteries of th brain. Redness and swelling of th face are constant signs of anger, an anger is a state of hypernerv'atioii The muscular fibers surroundin the arteries in which the blood cu ciliates, and which form a continu bus sheath for them, are tightene in pro portion to our angerVTh caliber of the arterial tube fdimii i s h. ed and then, the blood bi i tig ut der a high pressure, the watery pai is driven back into the surroundin tissues and the red globules, dilute in a less quantity of liquid, appea far more numerous in tbe field c the microscope. The concentrado of. the Jbhjod and rise in arterh pressure I consider to be almost a ways present in caso of anger, have found them whenever I hav been able lo examine a patient. Let us form a clear idea of a that there is in a fit of anger-vai expenditure of effort, aimless niovt me..ts, energy spent in biting th fists, stamping on the ground, kiel ing against doors, or tearing up book. All tbiet clearly indicates mental condition of no high o rd el At every stajre we recognize ravi c early that the proi.lera of auger ? a problem cf cerebral mechanics. In a condition of nervuus exoil? raent all our energies are at a big aitch. The heart sends to eve* part of the body concentrated bloui extraordinary rich in globules, whic utilizes itself instantaneously in th tissues; our organic combustiu takes place with almost doubled it tensity, our sensibility is consider: bly excited. We are too muc alive. Variations of temper are varij lions of energy, of muscular tonici One is sad or timid because one 1 too weak; angry because one is to strong. Oscillations of the min are caused by the excitement pre d ticed by the contact of our nervi of sensibility. There is a short ci: (?nit in our nerves, followed by rad ey increased muscular energ; the heart's power of coutractioi ihe i.'ood pressure in the anent and ie activity of nutrition. ]Su\v, the immense work perforn ed by the brain during the.angt crisis is so much work lost, wort than lost, harmful; apart from trj evil it may do to its object, wh may be killed by it, it is harmful t the person who gets into the rag We are degraded by anger; not on I does it humiliate us in ihe eyes 1 others, but it leaves us dejected au exhausted.-Prof. John Lange.

Church Members:-Do you not think that when your paRtor takes several clays out of a week to prepare a sermon to preach on 8unda,\ for your soul's edification, that it is as little as you can do, out of regard to his feelings, to say nothing abjut vour religious duty, to be present? Do you think that you could con scientiously ^neel down reverently on Sunday morning and offer a prayer like thin: "Lord, it is rain ing to-day, and I beg to be excused from attending services. It is true I do not allow rain to keep me from business or pleasure, but I pray thee to excuse me this rainy day?" If you can do this, you are excused. No, it is a deep-seated trouble, and there is no cure for it bul. SPIRIT' UAL1TY. ,d j E. C. B. 'G BUTTERS ^SJLDWOT United States Civil Service Ex animation For Rural Carrier.
