SEPTEMBER.
The fields and meadows paling
Lie 'neath the hazy sky;
The thistle-down is sailing
By zephyrs slowly by.
. . The stalks of stubble bleaching
Beneath September's sun,
Seem silently now teaching
Of rest when labor's done.
The golden-rod, bright gleaming
Above the parched sod,
Is surely sent, the seeming
+v..? haMoti tViinac of of Rod.
VI biiU t^v/iuvu Vutu^v v?.
The katy-dids are calling,
In a sccial sort of a way,
To learn what is befalling
The neighbors cross the wav.
? Communist
like, the blackbirds
Ho;d meetings every night,
As though the world went backwards,
And they must set it right.
The apples fast are falling
From heavy laden boughs;
Tho milk maid's faintly cailing
'Cross the meadows for the cows.
The milking-stool is ready
Astride the barnyard gate;
The cows come slow and steady,
Like messengers of Fate.
And soon, in silence sleeping,
Master and maid and herd
Beneath God's kindly keepirg
Will rest?as on his word.
So may this mild September
With its pictnres passing fair
Make each of us remember
Cod's mercies, rich and rare.
HE SEES EVERY SIDE.
Dr. Talmage's Eloquent Plea tor Chitsttan
To! eras Ion.
Brooklyn, Sept. 9.?R?v. Dr. Talmage,
who is now in Australia, whence
he will shortly sail for Ceylon and India,
haaR*i*pted as the sutiect for today's
sermon through the press "Communion I
ot Saints," the text chosen heme: Jud$e3
xii, 6: "Then said thev unto him, Say
now shibboleth, and he said sibboietb,
for he could not frame to pronounce it.
right. Then they took him and slew
him at the passages of Jordan."
Do you notice the difference of pronunciation
between shibboleth and sinboletfc?
A very small and unimportant
difference, yon say. And yet that difference
was the difference between life
and death for a great many people. The
Lord's people, Gilead and Ephraim, got
into a great fight, and Ephraim was
worsted, and on the retreat came to the
fords of the river Jordan to cross. Order
was given that all Ephraimites coming
there be slain. But how could it be
found out who were Ephaimites? They
were detected by their pronunciation.
Shibboleth was a word that stood for
river.
The Ephraimites had a brogue of their
own, and when they tried to say "shibboleth
always left out the sound of the
"b." When it was ask9d that they say
shibboleth they said sibboleth and were
slain. "Then said they unto him, Say
now shibboleth, and he said sibboleth,
for he could not frame to pronounce it
right. Then they took him and slew him
ot th? nansa.p'Bs of Jordan." A very
small difference, you say, between Gilead
and Ephraim, and yet how much
intolerance about that small difference!
The Lord's tribes in our time?by which
I mean the different denominations cf
Christians?sometimes magnify a very
small difference, and the only difference
between scores of denominations today
is the diflerence between shibboleth and
sibboleth.
The church of God is divided into a
great number of denominations. Time
would fail me to tell of the Calvinists,
and the Arminians, and the Sabbatarians,
and the Bsxterians, and the Dunkere,
and the Shakere, and the Quakers,
and the Methodists, and the Baptists,
and the Episcopalians, and the Lutherans,
and the Ccngregationaliats. and the
Presbyterians and the Spiritualists,
and a score of other denominations
of religionists, some of
them founded by very good men, some
of them founded by very egotistic men,
some of them founded by very bad men.
^ . But as I demand for myself liberty of
conscience I must give that same liberty
to every other man, remembering that
he no more differs from me than I differ
ficm him. I advocate the largest liberty
in all religious belief and form of worship.
In art, in politics, in morals and
in religion let there be no gag law, no
moving of the previous question. no perB*r>r?t?r?n
no intolerance.
You know that the air and the water
keep pure by constant circulation, and I
think there is a tendency in religious
discussion to purification and moral
health. Between the fourth and the
sixteenth centuries the church proposed
to make people think aright by prohibiting
discussiOD, and by stroDg censorship
of the press and rack and gibbet and hot
lead down the throat tried to make people
orthodox, but it was discovered that
you cannot change a man's belief by
twisting ofi his head nor maxe a man
see differently by putting an awl through
his eyes. There is something in a man's
conscience which will hurl off the mountain
that you threw upon it, and, unsinged
of the fire, cut of the uame will
make red wings on which the martyr
will mount to glory.
In that time of which I speak, between
the fourth aDd sixteenth centuries, people
went from the house of God into the
most appalling iniquity, and right along
by consecrated altars there were tides of
drunkenness and licentiousness such as
the world never heard of, and the very
sewers of perdition broke loose and
flooded the church. After awhile the
printing press was freed, and it broke
th* nf the hnman mind. Then I
there came a large number of bad books j
and where there wa3 one man hostile to '
1 the Christian religion there were 20 men
ready to advocate it. So I have not any
nervousness in regard to this battle going
on between truth and error. The
truth will conquer just as certainly as
that God is stronger than the devil. Let
error run if yon only let truth run along
with it. Urged on by skeptic's shout
and transcendentalist's spur, let it run.
God's angel's of wrath are in hot pursuit,
and quicker than eagie'3 beak
clutches cut a hawk's heart God's vengeance
will tear it to pieces.
I propose to sneak to you of sectarianism?its
origin, its evils and its cures.
There arethose who'wculd make us think
that this monster, with hems and hoofs
is religion. I shall chase it to its hiding
place and drag it out of the caverns of
darkness and rip cfi its hide. But I want
tn makft a distinction between bisotr v
and the lowful fondness for peculiar religious
belief and forms of worship. I
have no admiration for a nothingarian.
In a world of such tremendous vicissitude
and temptation, and with a soul that
must after awhile stand before a throne
of insuflerable brightness, in a day when
the rocking of the mountains, and the
flaming of the heavens, and the upheaval
ot the seas shall be among the least
of the excitements, to give account for
evety thought, word, action, preference
and dislike, that man i3 mad who has no
religious preference. But our early education,
our physical temperament, cur
mental constitution, win very muca decide
our form of worship.
A style of psalmody that may please
me may displease you. Some wculd
like to have a minister in gown and bans
and surplice, and others prefer to have
a minister in plain citizen's apparel.
Some are more impressed when a little
\ child is presented at the altar and sprinkled
the waters ot a holy benediction
lnn the name of the Father and cf the
Sen, and of the Holy Ghcst," and others
are more impressed when the penitent
comes up out of the river, his garments
dripping with the waters of a
baptism, which sigmiies the washing
away of sin. Let either have his own
way. One maa likes no noise :n prayer J
not a word, not a whisper. Another
man, just as good, prelers by gesticulation
and exclamation to express his
devotional aspirations. One man is
ju3t as good as the other. ' 'Everyman
fallv persuaded in his own mind."
George Whiletield was gorng over a
Quaker rather rcughly for seme of his
religious srntiments and the Quaker
ssid: "George, I am as thou art. I
am for bringing ail men to the hope of
tfce gospel. Therefore, if thou will not
quarrel with me about my broad brim, I
will Dot quarrel with thee about thy
black gown. George, give my thy hand."
In treeing out the religion of sectarianism
or bigotry I lind that a great deal
of it comes from wrong education in the
home circle. There arc parents who do
not mink it wrong to caricature and jeer
the peculiar forms of religion in the
onr? ^annnncfiother spnts and other
denominations. It is very often the case
that that kind of education act3 iust opposite
to what was expected, and the
children grow up and after awhile go aDd
see for themselves, and lookiDg in those
churches and fhdiDg that the people are
pood there, a?.d they love God and keep
his commandments., by natural reaction
they eo and j ?in those very churches. I
could mention the names of prominent
ministers of tne gC3pel who spent their
whole life bombarding other deDomiua
ticn3 and who lived to see their children
preach the gospel in those very ddnomiDations.
Cut it is often the case that
bigotry starts in a household, and that
the subject of it never recovers. There
are ten thousands of bigots 10 years old.
I think sectarianism and bigotry also
rise from too great prominence of any
one denomination in a community. All
the other denominations are wrong,
and bis denomination is right because
his denomination is the most wealthy,
or the most popular, or the most influential
and it Is "our" church, and "our"
religious organization, and "cur" choir,
and "cur" minister, and the man tosses
his head and wants other denominations
to know their places.
It is a great deal better in any community
when the great denominations
of Christians are about equal in power,
marching side by side for the world's
con auest. Mere outside prosperity,
mere worldly power, is 110 evidence that
the church 13 acceptable to God. Better
a barn with Christ in the manger than a
cathedral with magnificent harmonies
rolling through the long drawn aisle and
an angel from heaven in the pulpit if
there be no Christ in the chancel and no
Christ in the robe3. Bigotry is often the
child of ignorance.
You seldom fiad a man with a large
intellect who is a bigot. It is the man
who thinks he koows a great deal, but
do?3 not. That man is almost always a
bigot. The whole tendency of education
and civilization is to bring a man out of
that kind of state of mind and heart.
There was in the far east a great obelisk
and one side of the obelisk was white,
another side of the obelisk was green,
another side oi the obelisk was blue,
and travelers went and looked at that
obelisk, but they did not walk around it.
One man looked at one side, another at
another side, and they came home, each
one looking at only one side, and they
happened to meet, the story says, and
they get into a rank quarrel about the
color of that obelisk. One man said it
was white, another man said it was green
another man said it was blue, and when
mey ivcro .u mo vtty ucai w ius uuuuvyersy
a more intelligent traveler came
and said: ''Gentlemen, I have seen
that obelisk, and you are all right, and
you are all wrong. Why didn't you walk
all around the obelisk?"
Look out tor the man who see3 only
one side of a religious truth. Look out
tor the man who never walks around
about these great theories of God and
eterninty and the dead. He will be a bigot
inevitably?the man who only sees
one side. Tnere is no man more to be
pitied than he who has iu his head iu3t
one idea?no more, no less. More light
less sectarianism. There is nothing that
will so soon' kill bigotry as sunshine?
God's sunshine.
So I have set before ycu what I consider
to be the causes of bigotry. I have
set before you the origin of this great
evil. What are some of the baleful effects?
First of all. it cripples investigation.
You are wrong, and I am right,
and that ends it. No taste for exploration,
no spirit of investigation.
From the glorious realm of God's truth,
over which an archangel mgiht fly from
eternity to eternity and not reach the
limit, the man shuts himself out and dies
a blind mole under a corn shock. It stops
all investigation.
A neither crrp.flt damage done bv the
sectarianism and bigotry of the church
is that it disgusts people with the Chrisj
tian religion. Now, my friends, the
church ot God was never intended for a
war barrack. People are afraid of a riot.
You go down the street, and you eee an
excitement and missiles flying through
the air, and you hear the shock of firearms.
Do you, the peaceful and industrious
citizen, go through that street?
Ob, no, you will say; "I'll go around
the block.', Now, men com6 and look
upon this narrow path to heaven and
sometimes see the ecclesiastical brickbats
flying every whither, and they say;
"Well, I guess I'll take the broad road.
There is so much sharpshooting on the
narrow road I guess I'll try the broad
road!"
Francis I so hated the Lutherans that
he said that if he thought there was one
drop of Lutheran blood in his veins he
would puncture them and let that drop
out. Just as long as there is so much
hostility between denomination, and
denomination or between one
professed Christian and another, or
between one church and another, so
long men will be disgusted with the
Christian religion and say, "If that is religion,
I want none of it."
Again, bigotry and sectarianism do
gr*at damage in the fact that they hinder
the triumph of the gospel. Oh, how
much wasted ammunition, hov many

whole life to controversial disputes when
if they had given their life to something
practical, they might have been vastly
useful! Suppose, while I speak there
were a commoaenemy coming up the
bay, and all the rorts around the harbor
began to fire into each other?you would
crycul: "National suicide! Why don't
those fort blaze away in one direction,
and that against the (Jommou enemy?"
And yet I sometimes see in
the church of the Lord Jesus
Christ a strange thing going on?
church against church, minister against
minister, denomination against denomination,
firiDg away into their own fort or
the fort which cught to be on the same
side instead of concentrating their energy
and giving one mighty and everlasting
volley against the navies of darkness^
riding up through the bay!
I go out sometimes in the summer,
and I find two beehiveB, and these two
hives are in a quarrel. I come near
enough, not to be stung, but I come
just near enough to hear the controversy
and one beehive says, "That field of clover
is the sweetest," and another beehive
says, "That field of clover is the
sweetest." I come in between them,
and I say: "Stop this quarrel. If you
like that Held ot clover best, go mere.
If ycu like that field of clover best, go
there, but let me tell you that that hive
which gets the most honey is the best
hive!" So I come out between the
churches of the Lord Jesu3 Christ. One
denomination of Christians says, "That
field of Christian doctrine is best, and
another says, "This field of Christian
doctrine is best." Well, I say, "Go
where you get the most honey." That
is the best church which gets the most
honey of Christian grace for the heart,
and the most honey of Christian usefulness
for the life.
Besides that, if jcu want to build up
anv denomination, you will never build
it up by trying to pull some other down.
Intolerance never put anything down.
How much ha3 intolerance accomplished,
for instance, against the Methodist
church? For long years her ministry
were forbidden the pulpits of Great Britain.
Why was it that so many of them
preached in the fields? Simply because
they could not get in the. churches. And
the name of the church was given in
derision and as a sarcasm. The critcs
of the church said, ''They have no order;
ihey have no method in their worship,"
and the critics therefore in irony called
them "Methodists."
I am told that in Aator library, New
York, kept as curiosities, there are 707
books and pamphlets against Methodism.
Did intolerance stop that church? Xo.
It is either firstor second amid the denominations
ot Christendom, her mi3
siouary stations m all parl3 of the world,
her men not only important in religious
trn3t, but important also in secular
tru3ts. Church marching on, and the
more intolerance against it the faster it
marched.
What did intolerance accomplish
against the Baptist church? Ii' laughing
scorn and tirade could have destroyed
the church, it would not have today a
disciple left. The Baptists were hurled
cut of Boston iu olden times. Those
who sympathized with them were imprisoned,
and when a petition wa3 offered
asking leniency in their behalf all the
men who signed it were indicted. Has
intolerance stopped the Baptist church?
The last statistics in regard to it showed
25,000 churches and 3,000,000 communicants.
Intolerance never put down anything.
In England a law was made against
the Jew. Engbnd thrust back the Jew
and thrust down.the Jew and declared
that no Jew should hold ctibial position.
What came of ii? Were the Jews destroyed?
Was their religion overthrown?
No. Who became prime minister of
England? Who wa3 next to the throne?
Who was higher than the throne because i
he was counselor and adviser? EIsraeli, J
a Jew. What were we celebrating in
all our churches as well as synagogues
only a lew years ago? The one hundredth
birthday anniversary of Monteflore,
the great Jewish philanthropist.
Intolerance never yet put down anything.
But now, my friends, having shown
you the origin of bigotry or sectarianism,
and having shown you the damage it
does, I want briefly to show you now
we are to war against tb Is terrible evil,
and I think we ought to begin our war
by realizing our own weakness and cur
imperfections. If we make so many
mistakes in the common aflair3 of life, is
it not possible that we make mistakes
in regard to our religious affairs? Shall
we take a man by the throat or by the
collar because he cannot see religious
truths just a3 do? In the light of eternity
it will be found out, I think, there was
something wrong in ail our creeds, and
something right in all our creeds. But
since we may make mistakes In regard
to things of the world do not let us be
so egotistic and so puffed up as to have
an idea that we cannot make any mistake
in regard to religious theories. And
then I think we will do a great deal to
overthrow the sectarianism from our
heart and the sectarianism from the world
by chiefly enlarging in those things in
which we agree rather than those on
which we differ.
Now, here is a great gospel platform.
A man comes up on his side ot the platform
and says, "I don't believe in baby
springling." Shall I shove him off?
Here is a man coming up on this side of
T-vIa f f/\rnn "hck o-> T70 "T rl A rv ' h
lievein the perseverance of the saints."
Shall I shove him off? Xo. I will say:
"Do you believe in the Lord Jesus a3
your Savior? Do you trust him lor time
and for eternity?" He says, "Yea."
"Do you take Christ for time and for
eternity?" "Yes," 1 say. "Come ou
brother. One in time, and one in eternity.
Brother now, brother forever."
Blessed be God fcr a gospel platform so
lame that all who receive Christ may
stand on it!
Moreover, we may also overthow the
feeliag of severe sectarianism by joining
other denominations in Christian work.
I like when the springtime comes and
the anniversary occasions begin and all
denominations come upon the same platform,
That overthrows sectarianism.
In the Young Men's Christian associations,
in the Bible society, in the Tract
society, in the Foreign Missionary society,
shoulder to shoulder all denominations.
Ferhap31 might forcefully illustrate
this truth by calling your attention
to an incident which took place about 20
years ago. ?ae Monday morning at
about 2 o'clock, while her 900 passengers
were sound asleep in her berths
dreaming ot home, the steamer Atlantic
crashed into Mars Head. Five hundred
souls in 10 minutes landed in eternity!

and clutching for the rigging, and
the plunge of the helple33 steamer and
dapping of the hands cf the merciless

But see this brave quartermaster pushing
out with the life line until he gets to
the rock, and see these fishermen gathering
up the shipwrecked and taking
them into the cabins and wrapping them
in the flannels snug and warm, and see
that minister of the gospel, with three
other men, getting into a lifeboat and
pushing out for the wreck, pulling away
across the surf and pulling away until
they saved one more man and then get-1
ting back with him to the shore. Can
those men every forget that night, and
can they every forget their companionship

catastrophe and rescue? Never! Never!

There was about 80 degrees of the i

almost clear during the lour last days t,
of the week and partly cloudy on the 1
previous days. c
There were light showers, quite general
over the State, on the 4tu and 5th, s

the extreme Northwestern counties on 1

especial need of it. I
High winds are roported from Ker- 1

and corn. i
Cotton picking has become general (
over the entire State, and was favored ?
by the hot, drv weather which permit- i
ted uninterrupted labor, as well as i
causing the bolls to open rapidly. The 1
yield continues to appear disappoint- <
ing and the general opinion of corre- 1
spondents is, for causes already stated, 1
the crop will not come up to the early i
estimates. In addition to the reports i
of shedding and rust previously given, !
boll worms have appeared in Newberry t
and Ldgetield Counties. There will be J
no top crop on sandy land; at other <
places a small middle crop, while in
general the c^op is from one week to 1
ten days late. The hot sunshine seems J
to have effectually checked rotting. *
The corn crop is all made and is be- (

heat is favorable, as It thoroughly i
ripens and hardens the grain on the *

abundant supply. Other forage crops,
su .h as pea-vine hay and grasses, are
also b ,vy crop3 and are being cut
under favorable weather conditions.
The rice harvest is said to be well in
hand now, and In some counties the
largest crop ever known is being harvested,
wnile the yield in general is
very satisfactory. So far the weather
has been all that could be desired for
securing the crop and it will soon be
beyond danger of injury from unfavorable
weather.
Early peas are ripening and being
picked. The pea crop will be a large
one in acreage and prospective yield.
The turnip crop has, generally, attained
a good stand and is growing off
nicely. Sweet potatoes are not uniform

New York, Sept. 12.?At to day's |
session of the Lexow police investiga- j
tion committee the most important ,
witness was Mrs. Cela Urcbittel, who
came to this country from. Russia six
>ear3 ago. She had ?000 aad opened a
small cigar store and cried as she toll .
how a detective she thought hi3 name ,
was Forgan, had said she made ,
what money she had by im- j
proper means and demanded that
he be paid S50. She gave him ;
?25. He arrested her after that.
"He didn't take me to the station house.'
she said. The station house was in A*"- ,
torney street. Her store was on the .
corner of Ridge and Rroome streets.
Continuing, the witness said: "Ha ,
walked with me around the streets .
until 3 o'clock in the morning. Then j
he pulled down my stocking to 3ee if 1 j
had any money. I saw the policeman ,
divide the monev with another man.
He took me to E33ex Market and let
me go there. The next mornlDg he 1
told me I must raise the other ?25.
He told me that my children would be :

was then taken to court." Mrs. Urch- ;
ittle did not know what was going on J
in court. The complaint was that of
keeping a disorderly house. The charge
was untrue. She was fined SoO, sent 1
to jail and her children were sent to an (

Mr. Moss told the committee ne had

act on the part of the majority to adjourn

New Orleans, Sept. 13.?Sugar
planters of the First Congressional
District met at Fiaquemlne Parish
court hou3e at Pointe Da IIsche yesterday.
There were about four hundred
persons present, all sugar and rice
planters orange growers and ail former
Democrats from the parishes ot Orleans,
St. Bernard and Plaquemine,
which constitute the district. H. M.
Kernochan, ex-United States naval
oilicer at New Orleans under Cleveland
presided. Speeches were made by Kernochan,
State Senator Espinal, ex-District
Attorney Wilkinson, George JL\
Anderson and George Mann, all planters,
who advocated acting with the
Republicans, while ex-Congressman
Wilkinson, now collector of Customs at
New Orleans, and Representative Dimond
called upon the planters to support
the Democratic ticket. The vote

has been made to the State Board
ot Charities and to Humane Agent

in an outbuilding, of a thirty-year-old
son cf Rsubea Harrold, a farmer here.
Farmer Harrold admits the truth ot
the charge, and says his eon is insane
and is confined in a comfortable shed,
fastened with a chain to an iron ring
around his ankle. Mr. Harrold soy3 1
that when hi3 son first tciame insane
eighteen years ago, he wa3 confined in a
svlum, but begged so piteouly to be taken
home that the father acquiesced, and ,
since then the demented man ha3 lived
in his present hut. The son's hallucination
is that some one is trying to abduct
him, aud he resents any intrusion
of strangers by attempts to do them violence.

leaves, a summer resident here hanged
limself yesterday. He was contidenial
man and bookkeeper for W. l>ayird
Cutting, and came to Seabright
fune20to pass his vacation. He "se ured
accommodations with a Mrs.
r'rank Martin. Heaves was exceptiond
ly quiet and had lit tie to S3y ro guests
>f the house. His principal amusement
vas bathing, and hardly a day passed
)irt what he was seen on the beach
>r in the water enjoying himself.
Strange as it may seem, his bathing
in it was the cause of his suicide. It
vas not of the styles seen at Asbury
.'ark, which often bag at the knees
md have every appearance of being
nade from a bloomer pattern. Reaves'
mit fitted as closely to his well devel>ped
body as a pair of tights on a shapey
chorus girl in in an opera troupe. It
vas made of light weight flannel.
About three weeks ago several of his
Tiends secured a note-head from the
ulice of J'. Hallacker, secretary of the
Seabright Borough Commission. Mr.
backer's name and title was on the
lote head. Then they wrote Reaves a

contents were to the effect that hl3
Dathlng suit was disgraceful and if he
ind any regard for himself he would
iot wear it in the presence of the wo
nen with whom ne had heen in the
labit of bathing. The letter worried
ne bookkeeper. lie took it to Mr.
Packer and asked him if he knew the
writer.
Mr. i'acker aid not, and said he be
ieved the name to be a fictitious oue.
lie made light of the whole affair ana
.ried to impress upon Heaves the fact
that his iriends were playing a joke on
Mm. Besides being secretary of the
Borough Commission Mr. Packer is
tlso a justice of the peace. Heaves was
mxious to bring suit against the author
of the letter, but he could not
Drove who sect it.
Tnen he wanted the matter brought
;o the attention of the commissioners,
md Mr. Packer directed hun to Mayor
I. J. Heed. Of course, the latter could
lo nothing, it worried Heaves con3idjrably
and wheu he talked about it he
Decume very much excited.
However, he did not cease wearing
he suit whenever he went in bathing.
Testerday morning he arose at his
lsual hour and after taking a bath returned
to his room. Wuen Mrs M in's
chambermaid began her duties she
went to Heave's room, but found the
loor locked. When noon time came he
lad not made his appearance Mr. Martin
told her husband and he started to
nvescigate. On looking over the transom
Mr. Martin was horrified to see the
Dody of his lodger hanging from the
jloset door.
He broue Into the room and sent for
i doctor, but life had been extinct several
hours. Reaves had procured a
jlothes line and fastened one end to the
mob. He threw the rope over the top
)f the door, taking care to put a small
piece of cloth under it in order that it
might not scratch the wood. Then h9
stood on a chair; and knocking it rrom
mder him swung off iato eternity.
Coroner Oliver was notitied. The
lead man's effects weie searched, but
;here wa3 nothing to show why he
jommitted suicide, except the worry
iver the anonymous letter. Several

A Sid Suicide.
Atlanta, Ga., Sjpt. 12?The coroner's
jury this afternoon returned a
rerdicc of suicide in the case of Miss
Sara Singleton, and recommended fur:her
investigation by the grand jury,
[t was decided to give the letter writlea
by the unfortunate girl to her
mother to the public, and thus set at
rest the many sensational rumors that
lave been ailoat concerning the case
today. This letter corroborates the
iccounts already sent out, showing that
!-Ko rwi b-illoa horaolf <lhp W3S

jealous of her younger sister. It also
rstablishes the identity of the man who
betrayed her and whose desertion of
her for her sister's favor was the cause
of her suicide. This man is M. T.
Whitlock. After telling her mother
that her sister Eve was at the Gate City
Hotel with Whitlock, Miss Singleton
wrote: "He is a married man with one
ohild and ha3 been married eighteen
pears. You need not bury me. Times
are too hard. Eve and Whitlock have
got big times planned . Don't let her
some to Atlanta any more. Keep your
girls at home."
She says she and Whitlock lived together
for three months as man and
wife.
"I loved that man better than anything
on earth. I knew he was married
all the time, but couldn't help it.
Tell Eve I forgive her."
Of her visit to Atlanta, the letter is
most sensational.
"I came to Atlanta today to kill
Whitlock and then myself, but one sui cide
will do. I have two bottles of
laudanum. I will take them. As I
am bound for hell, take my advice and
live for God and noDe other. 1 lived a
Christian life for nin? years."
When made acquainted with the contents
of the letter Whitlock was greatItt
TTo pviripnt.lv thoufftlt he
bad had a narrow escape with his life.
"It is a good thing I did not go to
see her when she wrote those notes,"
he remarked, but would not discuss
the affair.
The girl's body was taken to her old
home in Norcross by her brother tonight.
Water Your Horses Often.
Feeding a horse principally on grain
and driving it five hours without water
is like giving a man salt mackerel for
dinner and not allowing him to drink
before supper time?very unsatisfactory
for the man. If you know anything
about the care of horses and
have any sympathy for them, water
them as'often as they want to drinkonce
an nour if possible. Fy doing
thi3 you will not only be merciful to
your animal, but you will be a benefactor
to yourself, ?.s they will do more
work, look better, and live longer. If
you are a skeptic and know more about
horses than any one else, you are positive
that the feregoing is wrong, because
you have had horses die with
watering them too much, and boldly
say that the agitators of frequent wateilng
are fools in your estimation,and
you would not do such a thing. Just
reason for a moment and ligure out
whether the animal would have overdrunk
and overchilled his stomach if
it had* not been allowed to become
overthirsty. A driver who sits in his
wagon and lashes his wornout, halfcurried.
half-fed and half-watered team
deserves to be punished as a crimiual.

REFUTING A SLANDER.
The Story or Mr, Schubert and the New
Y ?rkS;i,?ts / itnoz
Ci i A11 l est on, S. C., Sept. 13?In its
issue of last Monday the Deutsche
ZeituDg prints a long and interesting
story regarding a Mr. W. Schubert, of
Yorkville. The Deutsche Zaltung says
tnat its readers have frequently heard
of Mr. Schubert, as he is one of those
unlucky people who are never out of
trouble. Some time ago Mr. Schubert
lost his house by tire and the Deutsche
Zeiturtg took up a subscription in nis
behalf.
More recently Mr. Schubert was raid
ed by dispensary constables, and later
still he came before the public with a
still more serious grievance. lie alleged
that his wife had been unfaithful
to hi no, and in consequence he instituted
legal proceedings against county
commissioner of York county, whose
name is not given. The public ctlicial,
however, was rich and iniluential and
Mr. Schubert wa3 poor and had few
friedns, so that he never succeeded ia
getting any saiistaction from the
courts. A month or so ago Mr. Schubert
came to Charleston and appealed
totheZiitung for aid. The editor of
the Zeuung provided him with lodgings
and appealed to some of the influential
Germans of the city to aid
him. These gentlemen, however, declined
to do anything in the matter until
they had some guarantee of Mr.
Schubert's good character and proof of
the story which he told, so he returned
to his home in Yorkville.
Mr. Schubert has recently come to
the front again with a letter which was
published in the New York .Struts
Zdtuug. In it he goes over all of his
troubles and puts up a very pitiful
story. TheStaafs Zeitung immediately
started a subscription in his interest
which was headed by the paper with
one hundred dollars.
Thus far the Staats Zdtung appears
in a very good light, but no' conteut
with aiding Mr. Scnubeit that paper
makes his letter the occasion for a bitter
and violent attack upon the South.
It pretends to think that all of Mr.
Schubert's troubles grew out of a prejudice
.existing in this State against
people of foreign birth. The StaatsZ.dtung
say3 editorially that it has always
warned Germaus not to settle in
the South, and it now gives Mr. Schubert's
case as a proof of tne wisdom of
its advice. It indulges in quite a tirade
along this line, characterizing the people
of the State as "those scoundrels."
It is just here that the editor of the
Dcutche Zeitungof this city has come
to the defence of the South in general,
and of this State in particular, in a
very excellent article. He refutes all
of the charges made by the New York
paper and asserts that in no pare of
the Union are foreigners more respected
or mora kindiy treated than
they are in the South. He explains
that in this city of 60,000 inhabitants,
nf whir.h ahnut 2 000 are Germans.
the Mayor, several members of Council,
the chief of the lire department
and other oflicials are of German extraction.
He says that South Caroli
na clfers one of the best homes in the
world for Germans, and he advises as
many of them as possible to come
here. The article is an excellent one,
and is a complete refutation of the
charges and denunciation e? the New
YorkStaats Zeitung? New.> and Courier.
The Money Qaeitlon.
With the tariff question disposed of
for the present, at least, the money
question will continue to grow in importance
until it is settled io the interest
of equity and justice to all, rich
and poor. While Congress was discussing
the former matter, the people have
been discussing the latter, and the result
is that the money question is the
paramount issue in our politics at this
time. It is a que3tiou that will not be
settled either until silver is restored to
its place as money by the side of gold.
Tne Atlanta Constitution says selllsh
interests have tried in vain to ignore it,
and ignorance has done its best to muddle
it, but ail to no purpose. It overlaps
and overreaches party lines. The
liepublicaus are trying bard to put
themselves in line with the people on
this great issue. The Populisrs have
adopted it. And even the prohibitionists,
who have heretofore dealt only in
questions of morals, have taken it up
and in two States of the northwest
they have declared for the free coinage
of silver. In a great many States the
politicians have succeeded in smothering
the money question with other issues,
and in momentarily diverting
attention from it, but it has grown and
is still growing and by the time the
next congress meet3 it will have complete
possession of the country. All
other issues will be subordinate to it, |
and for the best of reasons. The people
will discover as the days roll by that
no tariff measure, no matter bow radical,
can afford any reiiefso long as the
standard money of the country?which
is gold?continues to increase in value
as compared with the products of human
labor. People will discover that
there cao be no relief in tariff measures
so long a3 falling prices compel tnose
who o wn money to keep it out of business,
The cheapening of products by
means of tariff reduction is a healthy
and wholesome process so far as the
j people are concerned, but the cheapen!
ing of products by means of the conj
stantly increasing value of standard
i monev is a Drocess that kills all enter
prise aud depresses all business. There
has been a "little ilurry in the stock
market as the result of the passage of
the tariff blli, but this is purely speculative,
being based wholly on the expectations
of those who are waiting for
a turn in the tide that the settlement
of the tariff question will restore good
times. We do not believe that the tariff
bill will at this time tend to restore
prices and business to the old level of
prosperity. That result can only be
brought about by the settlement of the
financial question?the restoration of
[ silver to iis old place as a part of the
standard money of the country. Ia
this direction only will producers find
! good prices, laboring men good wages,
| and merchants good business. The
single gold atandard means European
wages, European prices, European conditions,
and the enslavement of the
people by the money kiDgs.
Death ot Dr. S. B. .J jnee.
Charleston, S C., Sept. 8.?Rev. S.
B. Jones, D. D., died at Spartanbnrg todav.
lie was born in Cnarleston fifty
eight years ago. lie was graduated
from the Citadel Academy In 1847. |
From his graduation till 1854, when he
joined the South Carolina Confereuce, I
ne taught in Female College in Anderson.
He traveled only three years when
his voice failed. For many years he
taught in the Cokesburg Conference
School, and In the MaroDic Female College
at that place. In 18G0, he took
charge of the Spartanburg Female College
upon its reopening. In 1872, he was
chosen president of th9 Columbia Female
College, in which position he continued
for three year3. In 1875, he
again entered the active work and was
presiding elder of the Greenville District.
lie was agiia elected president
of the College four years ago, which
position he resigned ar; the close o? the '
last session on account of ill health.
Negroes Lynch ? Negro.
Natchez, MiS3., Sept. 13.?There
was a murder and a lynching in the
lower portion of Concordia parish last
Monday. A negro named Boo Williams
employed as a foreman on the Excelsior
plantation, started after two of the
hands on the place who had absconded,
lie overtook them and in ao altercasion
that followed Williams shot and
killed one of the parties whose name is
not known. Williams was arrested
and while still In the custody cf the oilicers
he was taken by a mob anc hanged
after being brutally maltreated. The
affair created much* excitement in the
lower part of the parish, but news only
reached this city today. All the parties
were negroes.
Wi'.?on's Hani FJghr.
Representative William L. Wilson of
West Virginia will have the hardest JJ
light he ha3 ever had to retain his seat
in Congress. Just as Governor McKin- th
ley was looked upon as the special De
champion oi" protection and the ener- ^'
gies of the Democrats of the whole th
nation were concentrated to accom- de
plish his defeat, so Mr. Wilson is re- ne
zarded as the champion o! tariff* reterm
and the Republicans will bring ne
their heaviest guns to bear to compass ca
his dele-it this fall. The action of the
Oii
Republicans in pressing ex President ve
Harrison into service to open the cam- ~
paign for t^em recently at the convention
which nominated Mr. Dayton i
as Mr. Wilson's opponent, and Mr. Harrison's
declaration that the contest was *:
not to be local but national in its sig- s
nilicar.ce, show the estimate the Re- "
publicans put on tbe lm portanee of the
ugnt, ana toe txiraoramarv euoris
they will make to win. The Republi- ;*
can committee will have all the money
it can spend in the district, aod the
heaviest guns of the party, including
ex-Speaker Reed, will be called upon to
make campaign tours in the counties.
The Democrats will make a hard fight
to reelect Mr. Wilson. They, too, will
concentrate money and able speakers
in the district, and, though Mr. Wilson
has been com pellet! to leave the country
for a short time there will be no
lagging in the light. A plants on foot
to induce President Cleveland to take
an altogether unprecedented step for a
President and go on the stump in Mr.
Wilson's behalf. Senator Faulkner,
chairman of the Democratic Congressional
commttte, says he would not '
be surprised if the President wouid do
this. He said the fact that Mr. Wilson
stood as the special representative of
the Democratic idea of tariff reform ?!
and the national character of the contest
would justify the President in his
re-election. Senator Faulkner, who
resides in the district does not think the ?
Republicans have nominated t.heir _
strongest man against Mr. WilsoD, and j
he is getting some consolation out of V
that opinion. ?1

These reports iudicate that the actual /

tofore predicted. Only m the western ?

In Lincoln ounty, the situation is
worse than elsewhere. The report from ^
there says: "On every hand abandon- *
ed homesteads aud whiUned or with- r
ered fields of corn tell the story of discouragcment
and despair. A'ong the
streams where irrigation has furnished
moisture, farmers have succeeded in
raising crops. Elesewhere everything ?

to move away. With chattel
mortgages cn all their possessions, they
must leave bare handed or stay ana

Atlantic City, Sep'. 12 ?Miss Sophie
Ashton and Miss Annie Thompson,
daughter of the well known Tailadelphia
physician, went to bathe at the p]
point of the beach where the Great ft]
Egg harbor iDletjMns the ocean at a
LoDgport, Qve miles from here. They se
were carried out by the strong under- ai
tow. Both girls are fairly good swimmers,
but it was all in vain that they
struggled to regain the shore. They
were rapidly becoming exhausted when
with all their remaining strength they n
cried for help. There wa3 little hope ^
they would be heard, for Longport has
no life guards and the lower portion of fa
the beach is usually deserted. It so pj
happened that Artie and iVrcy Item- p<
ington, sons of a prominent Longport k
cottager, were ashing ia the vicinity. It
They ran to the rescue. Both are powerful
swimmers and impeded as they
were with their clothes, they experi- "
enced little difficulty in reaching the
completely exhausted and drowning
girls though none too soon. The re- .
turn journey taxed their powers to the
utmost. When the shore wa3 Unally
! reached the rescuers as well as the rescued
girls were so weak that they could
rot stand. Fercy IlemiDgton staggered
Into the little village and told the
story. A par'y of friends hurried to
the scene and found the remaining trio
so weak that they could not move.
They were stretched motionless on the
sand. They were conveyed to their
homes where Miss Ashtoa soon recovered.
MiS3 Thompson and Artie Item- ^
icgton were so exuausted that it took
some time to revive them.
Uad yhowjng:.
Lansing, Sept. 11.?The Michigan
crop report for September says. The
average rainfall in the State in August
did not exceed three-fourths of an inch.
With a drouth practically unbroken
during the two principal crop growing
months of July and August it is not
difficult to estimate the condition of
crops. They are dried up. Corn, potatoes
and warden truck are damaged ue
yond recovery, the yield will be bur, a j,
small per cent, of an average, and pastures
offer little or no feed tor stock.
There is little doubt that wheat will be
largely fed to stock the coming winter.
Threshers returns of more than 68,000
-ores of wheat threshed show that the
average yield per acre in the State is 16
610 bushels. ^
Sam Jones says "the trouble with the
Populist party is that it can't delive
the goods. The rank and lile of the ^
party are clever fellows, but the Demo- *
cratic party can run a mile while they 11
are putting on their boots, aad they will
have the rabbit twisted out of the hole
before the Populist dogs are on the
ground.''
