A FolTffcnilst for Contrregs.
Tho Domoorats havo olooted a
Congressman from Utah who ia a
Mormon loader, a bollovor iu polyga
my and tho possessor of threo wives.
The question bes boon raised as to
whothor tho Jimiso of Representa
tives will seat this muoh-mnivied
statesman.1 Polygamy is unlawful
under tho territorial statutes of tho
Unitod States, but tho Congressman
from Utah does not fall under this
provision, since Utah is a sovoroign
State and makes its own criminal
laws, which do not include a prohi
bition of polygamy. When, how
ovor, Utah was admitted ns a State,
it was with tho oxprcss provision
that polygamy should thereafter bo
forbidden. It is held by some Con
gressman that the election of a poly
gamist to Congress, in view of this
provision, is a direct violation of tho
agreement made in accepting State
hood, and that tho newly electod
Congressman, Brigham Roborts, is
inoligiblo to a seat in tho national
legislaturo. This viow, however,!
cannot bo sustained. Mr. Roborts |
himself states that his plural mar
riages wore mado before Utah bo
oamo a State and that tho provision
referred to tho future only. Ho is,
thorofore, violating no obligation of
citizenship, oxpressod or implied, by
tho act admitting Utah to State
hood.
Tho caso is vory interesting and
tho outoomo will bo watohed o?osoly.
It appoars to us that Mr. Roberts is
clearly eligible to a Boat in Congross
I and tho IIouso cannot corrcotly ro
joot him on tho ground of his hoing
a polygamist. Tho State of Utah
alono may prescribo laws to govorn
tho marital relations of Mr. Roberts.
Still tho IIOUBO of Representatives
haB tho right to oxpol a member
whom it dooms unfit to a acat in the
body, and if Mr. Roberta's plural
marriages put him beyond tho palo
of American society, ho may be ox
polled as an improper member of the
IIouso. Tho caso will certaiidy be
brought beforo tho IIouso and an in
teresting contest is assured.-Char

Joseph Wayne Shelor-? Model- Son
and Christian Boy.
Whon the aged dio and are buried
wo aro ready to say they have lived
their ?Hoted UMP apon tho earth,
thoy have finished their oourso ; but
when a bright and promising youth
; is suddenly striokon .down, ono who
is just verging into young inuuhood,
?and in whoso lifo aro centered BO
many fond anticipations of loving
Monds, wo ire almost tempted to
question tho goodness and wisdom
of God.
was tho sad and tragic death
of Joseph Wayne, tho eldost son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Sholor, of Tu
galoo, S. C. But'God's way? are not
our ways, nor His thoughts ns our
thoughts. Tho gricf-striokcn parents
and Borrowing Monds who mourn
him now will ovor remember that ho
belonged unto God. In his earliost
infanoy theso Christian parents dodi
cited thoir boy to God. Thoy said,
as did l???ti&h of Old, wo havo lent
him to tho Lord. As long as ho
lives ho shall be lout to tho Lord.
It is not known at what timo
Wayne's heart was first converted
unto God, but it is thought it was at
a very early ago. When a moro
child ho would quietly sit at his
mother's knees and listen with tho
greatest attention as she told him tho
beautiful stories of Jesus.
Wayno was born May '24th, 1879,
and died July 28th, 1898, only 19
years, 2 months and 4 days old.
What a briof, young lifo ! But oh 1
what an example of lovo and obedi
onco to parents, of tenderness and
affection for his companions has ho
left behind. What a lesson of re
spect for tho aged and sympathy for
tho poor he has bequoated to us all.
Truly ho being dead yet spoakoth.
But Wayno is not dead, ho only
sloepeth.
There is no death,
Tho star? go down to shine upon BOmo
fairer sh oro,
And bright in heaven's jowolcd crown,
They Rhino forever more.
Tho dust wo tread bonoath ur foot,
Shall chango through summer's gent?o
showers,
To gobion grain or rainbow-tiutod flow
ers.
During Wayne's childhood ho was
a pale, Bickly and delicate-looking
little boy, but ns he grew older ho
began to develop and expand, until
he becamo a vigorous and handsome
young man. At tho time of his
death ho was possessed of a physique
that any athloto might envy. At an
early age ho was sent to the ?South
Union school, near bis home. Prof,
W. A. Dickson, now in Andorson
county, waa for many yours tho prin
cipal of this school. Prof. Dickson
always spoke in the highest terms ol
Wayne, not only of bia high toned
character, but of his scholarship and
many manly ways.
In 1894 ho entered tho Vornoi
Military Institute at Tuscaloosa
Ala. While there he applied bim
self ao diligently to bia studies tba
the lowest mark ho over receiver
was 92. Ilia gcnoral record avoraget
from 90 to 98.^ and ho often attainer
to 100, thc highest mark of porfec
tion. In deportment it was alway
100.
While at Tuscaloosa, in 1805, h
united with the Presbyterian churcl
in that city. Mo waa afterward dia
missed by letter from tho church a
Tuscaloosa to join Kotroat Preabyte
rian church in South Carolina. A
tho time of bia death ho waa a con
aistent and exemplary member c
Retreat churoh.
When not at Behool ho waa alway
engaged in assisting bis fathor in hi
business and on tho farm. Ho ofte
had the entire control of tho fara
and thus relieved his father of muc
responsibility. Ho waa much br.
loved and waa a great favorite wit
all the tenants and banda on th
farm.
Wayne waa passionately fond c
nature and of music. He seemed t
love the birds and animals, al wa)
taking ploastiro in relioving thoi
sufferings and supplying their wanti
Ilia doga and a favorito cat woi
often his constant companions. II:
aister, Misa Maryo, anya tho laat tun
bo over plnyod upon bia harp, an
only a short time before II?B dcatl
waa that sweet and beautiful ai
"Home, Sweet Home."
YOB, Wayne was possessed i
many noble and beautiful traita <
cbaiaotor. Wbilo he was al wa;
modest and retiring in bis diapoaitio
be loved company ami waa a goner
favorito with all bia associates. Ju
before bis death an incident occurn
which showed nia real oharactt
Ho and a friend had gone huntin
Thoy had been out somo time ai
bad seen nothing to shoot. Aa tb
wero returning home bia friend t
marked, "Look at thoso doves ; fdio
them I" ?lut Wayno anawored, UN
I will no vor shoot the in nocen t and
harmless doves." The charge ' ihatJ
would have killed tho harmless birds
was the same that caused his sad and
tragic doath. A
Thus passed from tho earth this
bright and noblo boy. It is sad he
should have boon taken so young ;
but God had need of him. Ho was
buried in tho family graveyard, noar
tho rosidonco of his parehts. A vast
concourse of sorrowing friends and
rolativoB attondod tho sad bu'r??l of
this noblo boy. Tho fuuoral Hermon
was proaohed by Hev. W. S. Hami
ter, nBeisted by Kev. Jos. T. Dendy.
Mr. Hamiter's text was from John,
11th ohaptor and 28th verse, "The
Master is como and calleth for theo."
His doath was sudden, and another
Christian homo has been dnrkened.
But his friends did not neod any
dying testimony from him. His
wholo young lifo had boon a witness
for Jesus. Wo fool assured that ho
is now where grief and paiu and
sorrow aro unknown. Ile is safo in
tho arms of Jesus. B. H.

Bishop Turner's Gloomy View.
MACON, GA., November 26.-At
tho A inonu Methodist Episcopal con
ference, which has just olosod hore,
Bishop II. M. Turner had this to say
on tho raoo quoBtion :
"I seo no manhood futuro for tho
negro in this country, and tho man
not ablo to disoovcr that fact from
existing conditions must ho void of
Cominos sonso. Our oivil, political
and sooial status is degrading, and as
degradation bogots dogredation, the
nogro must go from bad to worso ad
infinitum. Neither education nor
wealth can over olovato us to tho
grado of rospeotability. I say this
booauso wo aro surrounded by so
many influences that militato against
our manhood. Tho host thing tho
nogro can do ia to call a great na
tional convention and ask the United
States Congress for $100,000,000 to
moot tho expenso of starting a lino
of steamers between this country and
Africa, thus pioneering a domain fov
settlement."

tificates, and all such, according to a
decision of tho Supreme Court, are
not only doprived the right of suf
frage, but they aro also not qualified
to sit UB jurors. Ii therefore be
hooves every man to get registered
and keep his certificate and his tax
receipt whoro ho can put his hand
upon it whenever it is needed. Some
mon would not register if by doing
so would exempt them from jury
duty ; but supposo every white man
in tho Stato wero to hold such a
view, would not our lives and pro
porty ho in groat jeopardy ? livory
citizen who has the welfare of his
country at heart must seo tho neces
sity of having our jurie;; made up of
tho intelligence of tho country, and
under our constitution, made by
whito men for the protection of th?
children of white mon in South Ca
rolina. Unless tho whito man will
do his duty to his raco by having
himself mado qualified by register
ing, our courts will be greatly ob
structed and tho result will be that
ovory timo a now trial is granted tho
taxpayers havo that much moro bur
don heaped upon them. Wo hope
there is not a whito man in this
county or in tho Stato so indifferent
os to his country's welfare to refuse
to get registered that ho may bo ex
empt from jury duty. Got your
registration ticket and overy year
pin your tax receipt to it.-Tho Man

Tho best toothpicks mado any
whoro in the world como from Portu
gal, says tho Philadelphia Times.
Thoy aro whittled by hand from
orango wood splints by peasant girls,
tho only tools used being an ordinary
jackknife Theso picks are as smooth
ns ivory and will not break into splin
ters. They aro exponsive. Only
ono hotel in Philadelphia supplies
them. Tho girls who fnakc tho picks
recoivo less than 10 cents per day.
As th- duty on tho foreign-made
picks is only 85 per cont., they can
bo sold here for less than picks of
similar quality could bo manufactured
in this country, despite tho improved
American machinory and skilled labor.
Tho profit on American picks is almost
exclusively on tho cheaper prod nets.
Somo of tho Portuguese' pioks aro
highly ornamented with hand carv
ing. Thoy aro too expensive for ordi
nary commorco. Small .quantities
havo been imported into this country
on raro occasions for uso at notable
banquets or ns unique speoimens of
handicraft.
