No, e humbly bow to his all wise power id pray for his blessing in tne luxe. The Rev. Mr. DuBose close a proacted meeting at this church about n days ago.

Mr. DuBose is certainly a noble ttker in the vineyard of his Heavly Father. The candidates have not been ihrnncrh this section very ach up to the present. I expect ey think that the river has been so gh that it washed us to the land tknown and there have been no rerns sent back stating the condition 3 were in when we arrived in the ;y. But, Messrs. Candidates, you me around to see the people rough this section. You will find in good spirits and looking forird to better times in the near fure. We wish you all much success the coming campaign. Mr. Eddie Geiger, the handsome id enterprising son of Mrs. E. W. eiger, is visiting his mother. He id his brother, Mr Artie Geiger, ,ve a large turpentine distillery near vayneBborough, Ga.

The good people at svansea are noble and generous carted, and they are certainly very iterprising, so with all their good aits and healthy location we can >t see why Swansea should not be>me a fine and prosperous town.

July 24th, 181)6 Ampha. ur Cause Was Just and Bight juthern Christian Advocate. The Confederate reunion at Richtond, Virginia, beginning June 30 ad ending June 2, was a great ocision. It behooves our Southern eople to honor forever the brave men nd women who served the ''Lost ause" so magnificently on the field ad in the home; and we must guard ?alously against misrepresentation f the issues that produced the strugle between the States and the facts f that war. Patriotic love for our i eunited county does not demand ny forgetfulness of the issues, the jen, the women, and the deeds of I BB??1PMH?MH?ITm I 1861-5. We have nothing to be ashamed of in those trying years. It would be a shame to forget those who served, suffered and died for our rights; and it would be a shame also to abate one jot of our claim that our cause was just and light. We accept the issue loyally, but we maintain steadily, not that "we thought we were right," but that we Were really right. It is pleasant to note that South j Carolinians had much kindness be- ! stowed upon them, and that our great soldier and citizen, Gen. Wade Hampton, received extraordinary honors. His devoted services in war and peace deferred such recognition, and our people will be glad that the old hero wis accorded his dues. Virginia knows how to do the just and graceful thing, and she did it in her best stjle. Officers and privates were made to feel remembered. So may it ever be, everywhere. A Life Saved. Jamestown, Tenn., October 15, 1891. My daughter tried physicians and nearly all remedies for Female irregularities, but received no relief or benefit whatever. We had nearly despaired of her recovery when we were induced by our postmaster, Mr. A. A. Gooding, to try Gerstle's Female Panacea and after using four bottles she was entirely cured, for T fppl it my dutv to let it be known to the world and suffering humanity, for I believe she owes her life to the Panacea.

In introducing the res* olution he explained that at the [ Chicago convention the delegates r from New York fought hard for what they believed was sound money but i were largely in the minority. He . declared it a good Democratic rule ) to stand by the will of the majority . when duly expressed, t "Mr. Chairman/' he concluded, "it i seems to mc that there is no middle t ground.

Martin left the chair to offer a motion to defer action until after the State convention on September 6, and spoke in advocacy of his motion. Rollin M. Morgan seconded Mr. Martin's motion declaring that he believed he reflected the sentiment of the majority of the voters in his district. State Senator Guy said the masses demanded that Tammany Hall endorse the ticket. He was followed by Congressman Amos Cummings and other leaders who eloquently pleaded for united action in behalf of the ticket. A vote was taken wheh the Martin resolution was defeated by a vote of 71 to 4. Then the original resolution was passed by a viva voce vote, the ayes that responded causing the I hall to ring. 3 .

Heroism of a Woman's Love. r The keen stroke of the surgeon's ' blade aloDg the slender nerves, shoot) ing currents of agony to every fibre 7 and torturing every muscle, causes j the physically bravest of us to quail, even when it is vitally necessary to undergo paio, and something like r Spartan courage is needed when one voluntarily goes through with theex3 perience solely for another's sake.

Her husband's arm had been crushed 1 in the machinery. The hard folds of . muscle had been flattened and the s bone bad been crushed. The arm, bruised and discolored, was bad to look upon, but it gave no indication of the excruciating torture of pain the man had to undergo. It was thought at first by the doctor that ' his arm would have to come off?the 1 the good right arm that supported the good brave wife who stood by 7 his side, and the serious, anxious 5 faced children who stood looking on. * He begged them to save his arm, his wife begged them and fortunately 1 the condition of the case permitted 3 them to.

His wife had been watching, her sympathetic heart touched to its depths by the sight of her husband's suffering. "Doctor, don't do that again," she begged. "Don't cut any more. He is too weak and has suffered too much. Cut it off me. Won't that dot" The doctor told her that it would. She cooly bared her arm and told them she was ready. The razor edged blade sunk into the flesh and went ripping down, followed by a tiny fountain of blood. She did not wince. Dexteriously, expertly the doctors slit out a piece of skin and grafted it over the man's arm. Another and another piece was cut out, until more than a dozen had been removed, and all the while the Spartan woman remained standing watching the swift flash of the knife, the springing of the warm blood and sickening spectacle without shrieking once. The husband's arm grafted over with skin taken from his wife's arm is now well, and the arm of the brave woman is fast healing up, leaving many long scars that will ever bear evidence to the heroism of her love.
