Tiie Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, August 6, 1902. Lickfork Items. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Crops are very good in this section, though rain is much needed. We are pleased that we have very little sickness. Mr. Arthur Rikard lost a fine mule on the 2Stb. The boys are hauliDg watermelons nowadays. They unload in Columbia * and unload at home when they come back?we hear the chink. Mr. Frank and Alonzo Lown spent last Sunday visiting friends on Sandy Kan. Mr. L. L Roof and son are attending a series of meetings on Sandy Run this week. Rev. A. R. Taylor closed a very k interesting 8nd fruitfull meeting at Sn Betheny, in the Reeder and ShumBft pert settlement. ||w On last Saturday the 26tfc, the U colored people on Mr. O. Steel's turpi pentine farm had a respectable bar' becue. They were sober and peaceable. Snrne time a an a crirl and her two L "fellers" had a collision and one of I them took her in his new baggy and carried her home. Now, Mr. Editor, we will walk across the railroad to the barbecue, on the 26th. I am told that there was a wagon from Columbia that had thirty-five gallons of beer and five gallons of whiskey, and that several young men were drunk, and there were others under the influence of it. Now, if this is so, in the name of God, where are we going, and where will we stop ? Have we no law, or shall we allow it disregarded ? I appeal to you, farthers and mothers, will vou treat this act with silent contempt and allow thirty-five gallons of ruin aDd five gallons of body and soul destroying whiskey to be poured down the throats of the young men in your community ? * f Aaron. 9tv, A Cure for Cholera Infantum. "Last May," says Mrs. Curtis Baker, of Bookwalter, Ohio, "an infant child of our neighbor's was suffering from cholera infantum. The doctor had given up all hopes of recovery. I took a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, 'Cholera and Dierrhoea Remedy to the house, telling them I felt sure it would do good if used according to directions:' In two days' tim8 the child had fully recovered, and is now (nearly a year since) a vigorous, healthy girl. I have recommended this Remedy frequently and have never known it to fail in any single instance." For sale by i J. E. Kaufm&nD. ' , r , Synopsis of a Sermon. To the Editor of the Dispatch. I herewith seDd you an outline or -v . synopsis of a sermon preached today by the Bev. S. C. Ballentioe, in Mt Pleasant church, which you will please give place in this week's issue. His subject: Duration of future punishment. Text, Matthew 25:46, And these shall go away into everlasting punishment. By way of introduction he showed clearly the unscriptural foundation of those who do away with old hell of the Bible or teach that it lasts for a while only. 1st. It is an unreasonable doctrine ~___j$Dd does not appear how the inmates of this prison are to be released. (a) Bo they come out after having served a term for sin, having satisfied the demands of the law * or does salvation come to them in hell ? ?-v (b) Hell does not appear to be a suitable place to fit and prepare poor sinners for Heaven. Shall the society of devils qualify them for the society of angels and spirits of just men be made perfect ? (o) It does note make men more virtuous in his life. Any religion that does not make men live better is not worthy the name. This is a doctrine invented to bring comfort . .to those who are unwilling to forsake their sins. 2nd. It is an unscriptural doctrine and is exactly what that Word does not teach. * - - i i (s) Are all those passages wmcn describe the future states of men in contrast? Dan. 12;2; Matt. 3:12; ??L -, ' Otalgia, ... . ' 7:13 14; 8:11 12; 13:30-41 42 43; 25:23 30 34 41-46. Each verse puts the state of the righteous in contrast with the wicked?if one is final the other also is. (b) Those passages which spe^k of the duration of future punishment by the terms eve lasting, etc Dan. 12:2; Matt- 18:8; 25:41; 25:46; etc. If the wicked do Dot have everlasting death, then the righteous do not have ' ci i everlasting life. (c) Pass bow to those passages in which the endless duraticD of future punishment is plainly taugb!?"The blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven in this world nor in the world to come." "Eath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation." "Between us and you, there is a great gulf fixed; so that they who would pass from hfnce to you can not, neither csn they pass to us, who would come from thence." Now if there shell be never forgiveness for some, they shall never be saved, and it is expressly said, as if to cut cff false hope ? ^'neither in this world, nor in that which is to come." (d) All those passages which imply il j i ' m * - ? mat a cnange 01 neart bda a prepgration for Heaven is confined to this present life: "Because I have called and ye refused, I have stretched out my hand and no man regarded; I also will laugh at your calamity, and mock when your fear crmeth." "He that is just, let him be ui just still; and he that is filthy, let him be filthy still; and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still; aDd he that is holy, let him be holy still'' We may laugh at the overtures of mercy snd the offers of free pardon, but when called to the bar of accounts, Gcd will laugh at our calamity. 3rd. Now look brie fly ? at the reasonableness of the true doctrine, that the duration of future punishment will be eternal: (a) It i9 claimed that Christ died for all, so he did aDd God earnestly wants us all to be saved?saved cnly n f\ /"\ n ntn ? n AAAwiir /? ini thin V? /s upuu uui \^UHKI luio utr does net force us to do. (b) It is claimed tbat Gcd is too good to eternally punish his creat ures. ,When man goes to determining what is proper or improper for God to do, we ought to remember that "as the heavens are high above the earth, so are his ways above our ways. God has a right to punish sinners as long as they sin aDd one who dies in sin will keep on sinDiDg through eternity. Finally, there must be a time of separation of the wicked from tbe righteous. Then how terrible it is to neglect tbe wants of the soul! Ella, S. C, July 28, 1902. S. It Heeds a Tonic. There are times when your liver needs a tonic. Don'c give purgatives that gripe and weaken.

The beginnings of the black death arose in China about the year 1333 with drought and famine in the great river plains, which were followed by floods so violent that 400,000 people perished. Great telluric convulsions occurred over the sam " 4racts. The mountain Tsincbeou feu in and vast clefts were formed, from which it is said that noxious vapors sscend. Anyhow flood and famine were followed next year by a terrible plague, which carried off 5,600,000 of the wretched Chinese, while in 1337 a still more dreadful famine destroyed another 4 000,000.

A dollar would be acceptable to A Young Lady's Life Saved, | At Panama, Columbia, by Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Dr. Chas. H. Utter, a prominent physician, of Panam, Columbia, in a recent letter states: "Last March I had as a patient a young lady sixteen years of age, who had a very bad attack of dysentery. Everything I ! prescribed for her pnved effectual and she was growing worse every hour. Her parents were sure she would die. She had become so weak that she could not turn over in bed. What to do at this critical moment was a study for me, but I thought of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and as a last re sort prescribed it. The most wonderful result was effected. Within eight hours she was feeling much better; inside of three days she was upon her feet and ufc the end of oBe week was entirely well." For sale by J. E Kaufmann. What She Was Charged. With. About ten years ago I witnessed an unusual occurrence in the circuit court room at London, Ky. Judge Robert Boyd was the presiding justice. One morning, shortly after the court had opened, Andrew Jackson, the foreman of the grand jury, appeared before the judge in charge of a woman, who, he stated, had refused to testify before the grand jury. The judge, with a very polite bow, said to the woman: "Madam, it is your duty to tell anything you may know about any violations of th9 law iu this county, excent. of course, such / ' JL ' as may have taken place in your immediate family. It would be very disagreeable to me to have to punish you in any way, and I trust that you will go at once and answer the questions that may be asked by the foreman of the grand jury." "I'll be durned if I do," she said with a withering look of scorn. "Mr. Clerk, enter a fine of $10 against this woman," said the court. "Now, madam, you go and testify to this jary at once." "You go to h?I, you durned old fool," the woman retorted. "Mr. Sheriff, take her to jail," roared the judge. "And hain't I already in jail for selling whiskey, and brought out of jqil to testify?" she said, and with an inimitable tpss of her head she r*aoofl/l nilf r\t tVia /inn*f ?nnm uuu ui tuu vuui i< X UUUi* Being very fond of the judge and quite intimate with him, I arose and said to him, as if I bad not fully gathered what was going on: "May I inquire of your honor what the lady is charged with ?" "I don't know, sir; but I think she iR charged with dynamite,*' replied the court with a look of exasperation. ?Governor Bradley's Stories of Kentucky Life. Women and Jewels. Jewels, candy, flowers, man?that is the order of a woman'p preferences. Jewels form a magnet of mighty power to the average woman. Even that greatest of all jewels, health, is often ruined in the strenuous efforts to make or save the money to purchase them. Tf a woman will rink her health to get a coveted gem, then let her fortify herself against the insiduous consequences of coughs,/ /Ids and bronchial affections by the regular use of Dr. Boscbee's German Syrup. It will promptly arrest consumption in its early stages and heal the affected lungs and bronchial tubes and drive the dread disease from the system. It is not a cure-all, but it is a certain cure for coughs, colds and all bronchial troubles. You can get this reliable remedy at Kaufmann's drug store. Get Green's Special Almanac. Moral Phase of the Compaigs. Southern Christian Advocate. The Southern Christian Advocate is, as itB name indicates, a religious Daner, and we rule out of its columns the discussion of any and all political issues. The discussion of political questions in the Advocate would be aB much out of place as the preaching of politics would be inappropriate in the pulpit. Our office is our pulpit from which we send out every week a written sermon, presenting truths and lessons which are vital and essential to tbe moral an i religious life of tbe individual and to the welfare of society and the church. We take, as a text for a short sermon, uTbe moral phase of tbe political campaign in South Carolina." We bad hoped that the present political campaign would have continued and ended, as it had bpgan, on a high plane, free from mud slinging and vituperation and offensive personalities. In befcalf of the sober, thoughtful citizens and Christian people of our State, we enter our protest against the mud sliDging busi uebH iu wuiuu suiiie ui uur uauuiuaiea for office are indulging. Personal abuse, recrimination, charges and countercharges by competing candidates is mean and pusillanimous. We have had quite enough of that sort of campaign mud in South Carolina. It would be far better to dispense with the political campaign, if its only purpose is to afford an opportunity for a ecramble for office. A political campaign should be clean, fair, honest, educating, conducted on a high plane of discussion, in which the great issues before the people are presented, not in a way to stir up strife or to appeal to the passion and prejudice of men. but dispassionately and intelligently. A man who does not possess the ability to discuss in telligenfcly the principles embodied in a political platform, is intellectually incapable of discharging the duties of the office which he seeks; and the man who plays the role of the political mountebank and indulges in'kBillingsgate," is morally unfit for any position of public trust. We note with pleasure that some of the candidates scorn the use of abusive language?and treat their competitors with the utmost courtesy. We take off our bats to these gentlemen and thank them for their example of gentlemanly deportment and manly independence in the political arena. mt j- TT xiiuuBiuius nave ixiuucjf nuuuic and Don't Know it.

Investigation as to the cause of the production of colors in tempering iron satisfactorily shows it to be due to the formation of thin films of oxide on the serface of the metal when it is heated in the presence of air. It also appears that the oxide so produced is practically transparent, first because the sequence of colors is what would be expected in films of a transparent substance when the thickness of the films gradually increases?also because of observation on the reflected light, the color which varies somewhat at different angles? but chiefly because it is found that on increasing the temperature a little it ? _ i. i._ j aoove toe pomi necessary iu pruuucw dark blue the coicr gradually disappears and the surface, though covered with more oxide, becomes almost colorless again. The colors being the result of oxidation, it is probable that the nature of the surface to be heated, its freedom from any soiling and the length of time during which it is heated must exert a considerable influence on the shade produced.
