Eastvisw Notes, To the Elifcor of the Disprtch: The moral, religious and spiritual relations of life, of which I am now to speak, are the most vital and important of all the elements of human character. These run through all the other relations, private as well as public, influence them all to a greater or less degree, aDd from the inevitable operations of natural and divine laws, shape and fix the character, condition and destiny of individuals, communities and nations for tbi3 life as well as that, which is to come. It has been well said that the greatest of all arts is the ait of living wisely and well; that thi9 art is founded upon theology and ethics, the best and most important of all the sciences. Now, if by theology is meant .a correct knowledge of God and his will concerning us, as revealed in the Bible, the Word of God; and if by ethics is meant the ' moral and spiritual code of right living, as taught by the example and precepts of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world, as laid down in bis gospel, then we can restthe Wf truth andtorcebf the expression. BP . " We all know that life, health and physical vigor of body and mind are all conditioned upon certain natural laws of animal economy which at the present day are known and understood by all intelligent persons. In the same manner peace of mind, an easy conscience and a happy heart? one void of offense toward God and man?depend upon obedience to certain moral and divine laws, which are as clearly defined and as easily understood and obeyed as the laws which govern the physical and animal economy of our world. Let us remember that it was dis. obedience on the part of our first parents that brought sin, with all its attendant evils, and death into our world. We certiinly could not ex' pect less than a speedy return to a loyal allegiance to our sovereign Lord, and a ready and full obedience to bis lav/ and will, that we may again enjoy his love and favor, live for high ^ and noble purposes in this world and be assured of eternal happiness beyond the grave. The "Word of God declares that "The soul that sinneth shall die/' "Without holiness of heart no man shall see God.'' "The way of the transgressor is hard." "Follow me." "Seek first the kingdom of God aDd bis righteousness and all things else shall be added urto you." These are only a few quotations from the Bible. Take that pieeious book as ot your counsel, a light to yourpSfb and a lamp to your feet; and you will soon be a sincere and happy Christian, walking in wisdom's ways, all of which are ways of pleasantness and all of whose paths are paths of peace. Notwithstanding the fact that all the most powerful, progressive anl highly civilized and enlightened nations of the world at the present day are nominally Christian nation?, acknowledging the Bible as the word \ of God and Jesus Christ as the S.v viour of the world, there are still persons to be found even in this highly favored and Lappy country, who are skeptics and infidels. They will tell you that they do not believe the Bible; that there is no such thing as honesty in men or virtue in women, and that religion is all a sham f and a delusion. For my own part I pity the poor wretch who has so far debased himself from the sterling heights of manhood. and so besotted his intellect with the suggestions and sophistries of the devil as to talk in that style. I say debase himself, for I ntver |? knew a woman who could so far fcrto be guilty of utter 1 j iug such /oolishntss. Old David I said: "The fool hath said iu his heart j there is no God. But none are so blind as those that will not sec. The tree is known by its fruits. The best evidence of the truth and power of Christianity is to be found in the lives and deeds of those who have experienced its redeeming. elevating and ennobling in flaences. The best and noblest men and women of earth in every age of world have lived nearest to God, and have walked through lite to the end with unfaltering trust in the foot steps of Christ. The kingdom of love and peace and py unspeakable now and forevei! Who would not be an obedient and loyal subject of such a kingdom'? Who would not enlist as a true soldier of the Cross under the snowy banner of King Emanuel, in company with the best and wisest heroes, sages and prophets of all times'? . tT; Ned Nestor.

From ihe New Era, Green-.burg, Iud. < Many of our readers may remein! ber aud item in this paper a year ago last fall which stated that Mr. "Wil- j liatu Slimpsou, a well to-do farmer J ! living near Rugby, Iud., had been stricken with paralysis of the lower limbs, and his recovery was doubtful. The case which was an unusually severe and complicated one has at last been entirely cured, to the utmost surprise and joy of Mr. Stitnpson and his family. Mr. Stiinpson was pleased to relate to a reporter the particulars regarding his case, and Lis subsequent recovery. ''A year ago last fall," began Mr. Stiinpson, "I did a large amount of work. My hired help left me in the middle of corn cutting and I finished the fall work myself, doing an unsual large amount of work. 1 put up several hundred shocks of fodder, and also husked all my corn. To accomplish this I had to work early and late. ' About the first of December,- as I was getting my fall work about done, I suffered a stroke of paralysis, which the physician said was brought on by excessive labor. My left limb was entirely helpless and my right limb was fast becoming so. My physician became uneasy, and after attending upon me for a week or so, he brought me a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, saying j that he believed they would do me j more good than anything which he knew of as he had used them with great success in a case very similar j to mine where all other remedies had had failed. The case in question was that of L. Phillips, of Petersville. "About the lime I began taking the second box of these pills a decided change was noticed, and when I had taken two more boxes we discovered that I was actually getting well. You can probably imagine what a relief and feeling of'gladness this was froTnW"aWer"t>eing~ confined' to* my i bed for nearly two months. Well, I j kept on taking the pills according to j directions, until I had consumed nine boxes of them, which completely cured me. ' I am sound and well io-day, with not a sign of the returning affliction and cau affirm that Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People did me a wonderful good and probably saved m) ?r. m the grave." To allay all doubt as to the truth of his statement, Mr. Stimpson made out the following sworn affidavit; Itugby, Ind, Feb. 2, 1897. "This is to certify that I do hereby swear that the foregoing statement is absolutely true. William Stimpson." [ County of Bartholomew, ) State of Iudiana. j ' Sworn to and subscribed before j me, a Justice of the Peace, in and for said county in said State. Abner Norman. Justice of the Peace. The New Era was also informed that Mrs. Charles Williams, of the same ns'g'oboihood, had been cured of rheumatism, and Henry JohnsoD, of Hartsville, who was troubled with neuralgia, was also cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. It seems that this remedy is in great demand in V?nf npialihnrhnrvfl. Dr. Williams1 Pink Pills for Pale People contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood, and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. Iu men they effect a radical cure iu ail cases arising fiom mental worry, overwork or j excesses of whatever nature.

There were very little fodder gathered in this section last wtek. We attended the protracted meeting and this week we have been silling in th-.- Lou so ami letting it j rain. On Friday nigbt of the Gib we | had the bal dest rain ever fell, to our | recollection, iu this neighborhood. It { washed off all the bridges and broke | mill dams and in places ruined billy ; fanning lands. The bridge on lb d llank creek on i the Lexington and Orangeburg road I has never been replaced since the { rain of the G:h. It seems that there is something wrong in the law or in the officer whose duty it is to carry out tLe law. People went ten and j fifteen miles on their way to LexiDg- ! ton and had to turn back, which is , too bad when a few hands could have i put the bridge back in a day or two.J, Bridges in our township both pul^fl and private, was replaced as the water would admit. The protracted meeting at Beth- I any church commenced on the 2nd Sunday and lasted until the following Saturday evening, the result of which seemed to do much good. There were several names added to the church roll, also several conversions; enemies made friends and a general revival. The attendnig preachers were, Taylor, Hook, Shumpert, Knowles and Anderson; all did earnest work. The two last mentioned were strangers in our settlement. The colored people commenced their protracted meeting at Bawl Hill last Sunday, but the rain drowned it out. Mrs. J. W. Wise was buried at Bethel church last Thursday evening, leaving Mr. Wise with a large family and not a female member. Mr. Curtis Hallman is teaching a large singing class at Bethany church. He seems to give general satisfaction as a teacher. Me is also giving instrumental lessons at private residences. The health of our community is good at present. With best wishes to the Dispatch. Aug. 21,1897. R. When your stomach begins to trouble you, it needs help. The help it needs, is to digest yourfood, andv .until it ^ets it, you won't^ have any ; peace. Stomach trouble is very distressing, jvery obstinate, vory danger- * ous. Many of the most daDgerous diseases begin with simple indigestion. The reason is that indigestion (not digestion, not nourishment) weakens the system and allows disease germs to attack it. The antidote is Shaker Digestive Cordial, strengthening, nourishing, curative. It cures indigestion and renews strength and health. It does this by strengthening the stomach, by helping it to digest your food. Ic nourishes you. Shaker Digestive Cordial is made of pure herbs, plants and wine, is perfectly harmless and will certainly cure all genuine stomach trouble. Sold by druggists, price 10 cents to $1 00 per bottle.

"I don't complain When the Lord sends rain, When the tanks in the sky run over: For the rain you know Makes the corn to grow, And aives a lift to the clover." Bat my humble friend Cobe says we've had 'bout enuf and he wants it to stop right now. "We've had a 'bundance," says Cobe, "and I'm a?eerd there won't be any nubbins to ^B&ihe steers on this winter and no to plant next spring.'' one horse farmer says he ^^Herd he will make more cotton IKn he can get picked out. [Was there ever such a bountiful crop year? Wheat, com, cotton, potatoes and fruit! Mr. Roberts, who farms on Pumpkin Vine Creek, says 1^ feels sure of 1,000 bushels of corn from one field of ten acres?that he can select one or two acres that will yield 120 bushels each and there arc several square rods that will mirke a bushel to the rod. That would make 1G0 bushels per acre, if every rod was as good. Mr. Robbetts is no brag. He is a conservative, truthful mau and a good farmer. Mr.. Akerman made twenty-two bushels of wheat to the acre right in the suburbs of the town, and he has more beautiful fruit than was ever grown here before. Our market is running o\jer with good thingsapples, peaches, pears, grapes and melons. Country wagons drive to the residences every day loaded with delicious fruit and you can buy at yonr own price, for the supply is ; greater than the demand. We luxuriate on soft peaches and cream, which is the next best thing to strawberries and cream, and we buy fine, large cantaloupes at a nickel apiece. Old folks lose their relish for meat, buf they never get tired of fruit.

He drinks-j and gambles and curses, but everything he touches makes him richer and richer. How do you explain that ?" "Master! master!" said Uncle Jack, "dat is all jes' so and it's becaus' de Lord don't keer nothin' about Jim Austin, bis name ain't on de book. Xo, sir, do Lord ain't payiu' no 'tention to him at all aud dc debil is runnin' him. Xo, master! I tell you how it is.

Uucle Allen used to finish up the } story with the master's conversion and Jim Austin being killed. Better times are coming, sure enough, but politics has nothing to j do with it. Politics didn't give us a great crop of wheat and a short crop in Europe. My friend Kirkpatrick, of Atlauta, says these revulsions in j trade aud prosperity go by cycles of seven years and that our cycle of dis tress and disaster has about expired, i He almost proves it by reference to : the past and tells how the failure of Jay Cooke precipitated the panic of '73, and our trouble lasted seven' year?, and the failure of Baring Brothers brought on the next panic and that lasted seven years. But wheat and cotton are filling ; the farmers' pockets with money and by the time this cotton crop is j marketed a new era of prosperity j will be fairly on us. Within the last ; three months the mining business 1 1 has revived in our county and labor is in demand; nobody, neither white j or black, is going about begging for | work in this region. I havent seen a j tramp in six months. The gardens are teeming with vegetables and the ! flowers are more beautiful and more abundant than ever before, but McKinley dident do it, nor the tariff, nor his party. If they won't undo it is all we ask. Just let things alone. They are determined to humiliate the South, but as long as the Lord smiles on us we will be content. * ' i Senator McLaurin. Jlemember this gentlemen, a vole I . 1 against McLaurin now is undoubtedly j one against Senator Tillmau in 1900, J for they both have evidently the same views on the tariff. Consequently a ; vote condemning McLaurin's tariff [ views is an indirect btab at Tillman. ' As long as this government stands it J is as certain as the night follows the day that we must have a taiiff to | raise revenue for the maintenance of j the government. A limited tariff only and one equalized between the four sections oj the coup try., This is the fundamental doctrine of the democratic platform. McLaurin believes this, and that (he tariff shall be so ' adjusted that one industry shall not j be fostered to the detriment of another. Is this undemocratic? It is not. Then why condemn McLaurin for supporting it and too, when he made j the splendid but futile effort to foil the Yank3 in their attempt to so dis- j criminate against us. We waut an j equalized tariff* for revenue only and our brainest men in the South know it. And a representative in Wash- j ington from the South would be recreant to duty should he not en- . deavor, with his whole force and mind, to have such accomplished. MoLau- ' riu fought this discrimination, both in the House and Senate, and now j must you condemn him for trying so faithfully to protect your interest? Why admit free of duty that article which benefits the northwest and at the same time lay a duty on that article which benefits the South?

Josh Billings on Courtship. Couitin is a luxury; it is the pla spell of the sole. The man who has never courted has lived in vane. He has been a blind man among land scapes, he has been a defi man in the land of hand organs and by the side of murmuring canals. Courtin is like two little springs of water that start out from under a rock at the foot of the mountain, aud runs down hill side by side, singing, dancing and s pater in e^ch other, edd?in_ ^nd. frotbin, and kaskadin, and hidden under the bank, now full of sbadder, bimby they jine and then go slow. I am in favor of long courtin; it gives the parties a chance to find out each other's trump cards. It is good ex ercise, and is just as innocent as five Marina lambs. Perhaps it is best I should state some good advice to the young men who are about to court with a view ^ O O if TTflC tu IliaiilUiUUJ UO IV T? uu. In the first place, young men, you ! ought to get your system all right; , then find a young woman who is will- i ing to be courted on the square.

Although the morning dawned dark and threatening, jet at about the appointed time many people gathered to witness a reunion of Newberry College. The people of that ccmmunity weie always friends of Newberry ; Royal makes the food pure, wholesome and delicious. : *gk 54RlKB I POWDER Absolutely t I ^ I ______ __ College, but as they see the great woik she is doing they become more deeply interested in her future success and unanimously request the students, ex students and friends of the College to meet together apd spend a day for her benefit. The meeting was opened by the reading of a portion of Scripture and prayer by ^ the President, Rev. 0. B. Shearouse. An address of welcome was then delivered by Mr. Enoch Hite, who assured us that were thrice welcome not only, to meet tbem at the church, but also in their homes and with their boys and girls. This was beautifully responded to by Rev. 0. B. Shearouse, declaring that we, as friends and co workers of Newberry College Heartily receive tne welcome extended to us. "V We were then enteitained with an address by Mr. E. H. Aull, editor of the Herald and News. He urged 1 upon the people the necessity of hav- ! ing good schools, and emphasized the fact that the race which is now inferior to us, is fast gaining ground r.nd will, unless we make use of our advantages, some day be on an equal footing with us. ^7 Dinner was then announced, and , Wj the good ladies brought their has- jjgjjflH ketsr anuipIita the contention ]8 the table prepared for the purpose.- " All were then invited to partake ol^ ; the bounties contained thereon and '.J,. <41 after satisfying the inner man, we > again assembled in the church, where we were entertained by an address from Rev. J. D. Kinard, who made known to us that the people of that ,, community were not deficient in the* line of education; that they were not a'raid of college men, but were glad to have them in their midst. It was then announced that Prof George B.
