| "Hard thnes or good times manyidg ,

! for Brown's tobacco. j
They married in war times and
parted in hour, arid before the i
tears of the young bride were dry from <

took their place; but marrying went

would^ive er fellow er furlong to go 3

SIS OWN EXPERIENCE '
44 Young folks will many and there's j
no use in talking to 'em. They won't .
nrthnHv'fi wnrrl prhnnr. this mat. :
ter, they are never satisfied till they j
try it and then they haint satisfied after .
trying and they wouldn't erbin if they
hadn't er tried, and so it goes, its natur
to think you'd er done better to ,
have done something that you didn't do
and whatever you do you're sorry yori (
done it. ' : <
"Every-time me and my old ?onmn
has er quarrel she swears that she .
could er married 380 fellows that's er ,
heap better than me and Fm keen to {
swear that there wasn't that many, un- j
married fellows in the whole of Pike in }
her raising, but you needn't talk to er
woman when she gets mad with her
old man, for it's natur for 'em to think
they could er married any fellow they
wanted and they're mighty apt not to
mention any fellow in this connection >
but what has got to the legislature or
done some other big thing?that is
when they're mad.
"Folks that many do well (sometimes)
but folks that don't marry do er darned ,
sight better?sometimes. But it's my
honest notion tbat no man ever got 3
worsted by marrying. The wflmn are
the ones who suffer, if there's any suf- <
fering. Er man that don't do well by ,
marrying wouldn't have done weH no <
how, and any man can do well if he's
got er good wife and will make the right
start. There's more in the first year of
married life than in any ten years after
that/ The big thing is to think. Set
down on ef log erway out in the woods
and study. Study your own character
and your wife's character and your kin <
folks' character and her km folk's {
character and end it up by swearing, 1
right out there by yourself a*d the log <
that you witl go to er home and yonr ~t
owi) if it's er rail pen covered with I
wheat $?raw, and that you won't 1- de- s
ceive your wife in nothing as you hope I
for her not to deceive you.' *
"The first few months of married 1
life is mighty nice, very nice, and any 1
fool in Oeorgia cap have er good time t
then. But this marrying business ain't i
for er few months: it's for life. The
pet words like my little petsy, sugar,ap- t
"pie dumpling, sorghum lasses and sich t
have to give way to sich as 'I'm not <
able to get you er fine pair er shoes, or i
hat; I've not got the money.' Er few i
weeks before I was married my sweet- 1
heart.cut her eyes at mc in admiration i
and I;know she thought I was the big- !
gist fellow in Pike; but I come up to i
the house suddenly er few months af :
ter I was married, and she was singing,
I stopped and listened and caught <
these words: 1
| "But now he's too small for er family man. (
"That was enough of that song- I
cleared up my throat and here she
come and took on over me, but I
couldn't understand what she was using
sich words as the ones in the song for,
and I was .er little c Id, jist er little
but she noticed it, and I have realized
since that big streams from little fountains
flow. etc. Never have the first
quarrel, L don't see wny everyooay
don't think of this.
AFTER THE HONEYMOON.
"After the honeymoon comes er
season of a more substantial love,
songs of the young days greet your ear
as you approach the house.
"And then you've got to take the
baby on your lap and pet it till the
wife fixes supper, and you're darned
glad when it gets fixed, sometimes.
One's enough you think?yon both
think?but never mind, the day will
eome when that plump young mother
will have er lot of'em swinging onto her
skirts, aud if s all right, it's natur. and
you wouldn't be satisfied without 'em.

f that young folks make in theii# early
married life has er heap to do with

courting their wives and wives should
' pet their husbands. Little hugs and
kisses between man and wife is like

won't let on but they like it, and if er
i young couple will go off in er home

Gov. Gordon Elected General of the
United Confederates.
The Confederate veterans have organized
themselves into a grand army. ,
The meeting was held in New Orleans,
June 10th.
On that day the organization was
completed by the adoption of a constitution
and the election of Governor
John B. Gordon as co mmanding general.
So the general will cororpand in
peace the soldiers lje led in war.
The organization is named "United
Confederate Veterans, and the letters
"U. C. V," will soon be as familiar as
household words.
Governor Gordon received this
morning official notice of his election
as general, and a copy of constitution.
The object and purposes of the order
are sts.ted to be strictly social, literary,
histor ical and benevolent.
- ? - - i
it will endeavor to uuice in a genenu
federation all associates of Confederate
veterans, soldiers and sailers xnow
in existence, or may hereafter to be
formed; to gather authentic data for
an impartial history of the war between
the States; to preserve relics or mementoes
of the same; to cherish the ties
of friendship that should exist among
men who have shared common danger,
common sufferings and privations; to
care for the disabled, and extend a
helping baud to the needy; to protect
the widow and orphan; and to make
and preserve a record of the .services
of every member, and as far as possible
those of comrades who have preceeded
lis in eternity."
The officers are to be:
A general.
A lieutenant genera'.
An adjutant general.
A quartermaster general.
A commissary general.
A judge advocate general.
A surgeon general.
A chaplain.
And such ideas as the general commanding
mav appoint.
General Gordon will appoint bis ]
lieutenant-general. j
The next meeting will, be held at j
Chattanooga, at a tfrne set by General '
Cordon. The general, says t^at be j
shall select July 4th, 1890.

/ From the Columbia Register.
The meeting of the Teachers' Asso- ?
iiatioo of South Caroling which be?an
in this city yesterday, promises to
je interesting and profitable, through-1
>ut. The pWiUflhjfiie; arranged con>
ains topics of especial interest to the
Profession, and each w ill be ably preented.*
Aside from t he more formal
jroceedings, the making of acquaintances,
the interchange 'of views .
>ased on different experiences, and
he efforts to extend the usefulness of
he association will form important
natures of the meeting.
In all their endeavors to improve ,
hemselves and elevate their 'calling,
;he teachers v. deserve the en:oorgement
of ^hose who feel an in;erest
in education. The purpose of
he teachers in thus striving for
higher standards and better methods is
not a selfish one. The good to be
accomplished is the good of the
schools?the advantages to be gained
ire those which accrue to the pupils.
The teachers must find their reward
jhiefly, if not wholly, in the consciousness
of duty well done and in the benefits
conferred on the children of the
State. .
The people of Columbia heartily
welcome the teachers to the city. It
is hoped that tbeir stay here may be
throughout pleasant, as it must be
profitable.
The profession of teaching is one in
which there are many difficulties and
discouragements?some of them peculiar
to South Carolina Despite these,
the schools have constantly improved,
mainly through thfe efforts of the teachers.
The people of the State are not
unmindful of this. ; Their difficulty
lies in their lack of means. As the
people become prosperous their contributions
to-the scool will increase, so
that we may look for better schools,
longer terms and better rewards for
the teachers. May that time soon
come.
Mr. Blaine Lcoking Old.
Washington Letter to America.
A member of tbe House said to me
last night: " I met Secretary Blaine .
since about a year ago. X saw hira
just after be returned from Europe,
and he was looking very well, paler
certainly and whiter of hair than a few
years ago, but alert and vigorous. I
saw him yesterday and he seemed languid
; he impressed me as an old man. It
seems to me that one year has made
a good deal of difference in him/' I
suggested that wrestling with the gentlemen
who want to be ministers and
consuls might be very wearing. My
friend of the House of Representatives
would not assent to that. "The officeseekers."
he said, "never killed or seriously
hurt any one yet?they may be
a great bore; I have been in politics
enoush to appreciate tbe fact that
they are a bore. No, neither the office*
seekers, nor his years, nor his physical
condition explain why the Secretary is
aging so fast. There is only one explanation
for it, and that is a great
disappointment is a worm that you
never get rid of until it gets rid of you.

Back in the North Carolina mountains
the students of custom may still
find material for research. The most
unique are kissing games, which stilt
cling to the soil. A lot of biglimbed,
powerful young men and apple-cheeked,
buxom girls gather and select one of
their number as master of ceremonies.
.He takes his station in the center of
(the room, while the rest pair off and
parade around him. Suddenly one
young woman will throw up her hands
and say:
"Fid a-pinin.
The master of ceremonies takes it
up and the following dialogue and in- '
terlocution takes place:
"Miss Arabella Jane Apthrop says
she's a-pinin'. What is Miss Arabella
Jane Apthrop a-pinin' fur?.',
"I'm a-pinin' fur a sweet kiss."
"Miss Arabella Jane Apthrop sayes
she's a-pinin' fur a sweet kiss. Who is
Miss Arabella Jane Apthrop a-pinin*
fur a sweet kiss frum?"
"I'm a-pinin'fur a very sweet kiss
frum Mr. Hugh Waddle.*' (Blushes,
convulsive higgles, and confusion on
the part of Miss Arabella Jane Apthrop
at this forced confession.) Mr. Hugh
Waddle walks up manfully and relieves
the fair Arabella's pinin' by a smack
which sounds like & three-year old
drawing his hoof out of the mud. '
Then a young man will be taken
with a sudden and unaccountable
pinin', which, after the usual exchange
of questions and volunteered information,
re veals the name of the maiden
who causes the gnawin' and pinin*.
She coyly retreats outdoors only to be
chased, overtaken, captured, and forcibly
compelled to releive ber captor's
distress. ,
At ooejfcf these entertainments
r hich it wffifhe narrator's fortune to
attend ther^pras a remarkably beautiful
young woman, who had been married
about a month. Her husband
was present?a huge beetle browed,
black eyed young mountaineer, with a
fist like a bam. - The boys fought shy
of the bride for fear of incurring th?
tmrernf her IfipBrigg spouse.*. The
game went on for some time, when
symptoms of irritation developed in
the giant Striding into the middle
of the room, he said:
"My wife is ez pooty, 'n' ez nice 'n'

1 NEW RELIGIOUS SECT IN
SOUTH CAROLINA.

and Most Ignorant Classes in Shunter,

Counties?Some Peculiar and
Extraordinary Doctrines?A Good

V. L. Walt in Southern Christian Advocate.
It may not be entirely nninterestng
to the readers of the Advocate to
lear something of a new sect that
taa spang op in Samfcer and some of
he adjoining conn ties. Some years

esided near Lynchburg, in Samter
(oanty, conceived the idea of foan ring
a new sect. His followers were
irat called "True Light Baptists,"
>nt they are commonly known as
'Boyleites." They have spread ap
K>th eidesjof Lynch's river through
hunter, Darlington, Kershaw and
Chesterfield counties, and perhaps
arther, taking hold of the lowest and
cost ignorant classes. It is not a
arge denomination, and, thanks to
be intelligence of oar land, never
tan be; bat its followers arb very
tnbborn in their belief, so tbat it is
-lmost impossible to reclaim one of
hem. Their most prominent and
>opnlar doctrine is that it is an no

pay for his work, and this closes
heir ears to the efforts of the regnar
ministry. They have no regular
ok- isters, bnt claim that every mem>er
of theft1 chnrch is the inspired of
}od to interpret the Scriptures, thus
caking everyone of both sexes miasters
of the gospel It i9 not uncommon
for women to preach among
he^n. Another favorite dogma is
hat* they constitute the only true
oliowers of God, and that all other delomioations
are heading straight for
bedevil. They believe in immersion, of
course; bat with this distinction, that
t most be administered by one of
heir communion to be 5 of any

as a day to be obseiyed in the
worship of Gci. They perform orlinary
work on Snnday, or engage

lave been seen fiddliDg and dancing
>n that day. The; believe in the
lamnation of infants of unbelieving
[i. e. non-Boyleite) parties who die
n infancy. The believe in the social
iqaalities of the races. ,
Jnst what else they Relieve in I am
inable to say. Fortanately my work
s not plagued with very many of
hem, bot they flourish around Marshall's

>revails where they flourish. I heard
i man say not long since that he had
>oce taught school in the neighbor*
lood where they now claim the
najority of the people as their adlerente,
and that only two oat of the
lirty pupils in his school knew their
etters when they first came to him.
Generally they will not permit a minster
of the gospel to read the Scriptires
or engage in prayer in theii
looses; and if they concede that
nuch to him, tbey laugh and talk
rhile he prays, and pay no attention
ffhat ever to him. Jost what to do
vifch such characters is a problem.
' believe that the employment of
ionsecrated missionary school teachira
among theo^ who will gradually
slevate them socially and morally, is
he only trne solution.

railroad and telegraph
people and spectators at the recent
Sollivan-Kilrain fight, had been forwarded
to Mississippi, and that all
the parties concerned wontd be held
to answer for violating the laws of'
that State, the Associated Press correspondent
at Jackson was instructed
to ascertain if possible, from Governor
Lowry the scope of prosecution,
and whether or spectators
would be proceeded against, but the
Governor declined to be interviewed
on the SQbject in ^dvance of the ac- j
tion of the authorities of Marion
county. The Governor said, however,
be might have something to say
on the subject in a few days. He i
thinks the report exaggerated.

Governor Lowry of Mississippi calling

looked after Kilraft's interests in his

and inspector Byrnes detailed de-1

application being made for warrants
for Mitchell and DonoVan before Justice
O'Reilly, the Jostice declared
warrants were unnecessary, as the
arrests could be made without tbem.

Well Said. '
From the Columbia Register.
The Fall Hirer Herald says and, as
we thing, says well:
"When the New York World, with
righteous indignation, declares that
is monstrous to give pensions to millionaires
and others who are either
earning good wages or enjoying an
abundance of this world's goods, it
states a disagreeable truth in exceed- ]
iogly mild language. The Herald
agrees with its contemporary in sayA-l.
lL.1 1L. -I 11 i. _ 1.1. i
tog loai tuere auouiu ue a complete
revision of the whole pension system.
The plan of ibis change Is outlined
by the World, which urges that every
disabled end really needy veteran
should have a sufficient pension to
keep him decently, and to that end
every mere, beggar, every man who
has money or the capacity to earn it
in sufficient amonnt for his support,
should be stricken from the rolls
When pensioners are able. to count
their dollars by the millions it is
abut time fSr the axe of reform to
begio operations. Sentiment should
be subordinated to public decency."
Well, it would seem that any man
who had served his country honorably
ought to be above asking for a tax of
the-women and children and laborers
of the country to pnt pension money
in his pocket, when be had an ampie
means, of support or was ab.und*
antly able to support himself. Southern
veterans are showing their brave
old fellow-soldiers of the Blae agood
example in this matter. No man of
sufficient means or sonnd health
amoDGf them wants to take the small
amount of peosioDS the Southern
States can afford to gr&i from their
disabled comrades in a necessitous
oondition or ffcm their widows* Nobody
North or Soath begrudges a
necesjjjans Federal veteran a cent of
th^lensron granted bim. Bat when
it comes to taxing onr poor boys who
are straggling bard to make both ends
meet to bestow gratuities on well-to-do
veterans of the Northern army it
does look bard, and very hard, too.

An
Froqa the Colombia
The Attorney General of Kefr^^^^^^HHj
brooght sait against the North
Sugar Refining Company, one of t^HH^^H
corporators of the Sugar Trust,
! the ground that by entering the com-^H^^H
bination and surrendering the eontrol
of its business to the trust it had
forfeited its charter,
Judge Barrett sustained the position
of the suit and ordered the char- >
ter annulled and the property placed
in the hands of a receiver.
A stay of proceedings pending an
appeal was asked so that the receiver might
not take possession until a decision
of the main question shall fca
made in the final oourt of resort.
This motion was denied by Judge
Barrett, and the defendants appealed
from the decision of the Judge, both
as to the main question and as to the
stay of proceedings asked for. The
recent decision of the New Ybrk Supreme
Court relates only to the order
touching the receirer in which it sustains
Jodge Barrett's denial of stay
of proceedings. i
The decision of the General Term
on the main question will possibly
oot be rendered before October.
Should the General Term affirm Judge
Barrett's decision an appeal will be
taken to the Court of Appeals, the
final court resort in New York.
Counsel for the State are oonfideut
that Judge Barrett's decision will be
confirmed by the courts above.
Should this be the case, snitc will be
broaght against all tho other Ne4r
York corporations in the sngtf trust,
and against other New York corpora
tions that hate, merged in other
trusts. Shoold thedeoision of the
General Term foreshadow defeat in the
court of final resort, it fa pre-,
dieted that the trusts will endeavor
to escape the punishment of its corporations
by the assignment or trans*
ferof its interests, just as the "Cotton
Seed Oil foist attempted to
avoid a decision in Louisiana by proeoriog
the sale of its corporations in
ite corpor* ; w ?
This case will be watched with interest
everywhere, not only becaose
it toochee the price of soger, bat becaose
it determines the question of
the treats generally in New York, the
laws of which State in the matter of
corporations do not vary materially
from those of the other States of the
Union.

"Yes," said the evangelist, after
biting a large chew from a plug of
black tobacoo and expectorating with
marvelous accuracy in the eye of a
slumbering dog. "I have been a get-'
ting there with both feet lately. The
last town I stopped at I raked in
twenty converts in one night* and you
bet that's big work. 1 get right
down to 'em and let 'em know that if
they don't waltz np to the mourner's
bench and get religion thell be everlastingly
in the sonp. Of coarse,
there's always a lot of chomps yon
can't do anything with, bat they
don't count for nothing. I ased to
- . ?**?
be a heavy weight snigger, and Ave
had a book printed describing the
scrapes I've been into.
When the service is over I sell
books to the chape that's been saved
and make a little staff that way, biit
there aint no money in th]s preachiog
business. A fellow's got to do it
oofc of pore love for his fellow-foe?,
jasfclikeldo it. I want to save as
many as I can, and give the devil the
grwd and >U the jp.
. ward I ask is to have a front seat in %
heaven when I tarn op my toes.
Well, I'll have to leave yon.. I'm going
around to see a backslider what
was converted a week ago, and when
I read the riot act to him yon bet 111 y
snake him back into the fold. So
long." The noble and self sacrificing
man then moved off on his grand^
mission homing a simple hymn, the
harden of which was to the effect
that "while the bed*bag hat no wings ,
at all he gets there jast the same."
Truly, the world can never be phinged
into outer darkness while such men
throw themselves earnestly into the
work of salvation.
