Following up the interest awakonod on tho subject of gambling in tho city of Columbia, tho ministers of that city, by mutual agreement, preached sermons last .Sunday denouncing this form of vico. Tho trial and Requital of Smith, of Birmingham, Ala , for tho murder of Allon, of Columbia, a helpor in ono of tho numerous gambling dens of that city, gavo special prominence to tho sub ject, ami tho sonnons preached Sunday aro said to have stimulated tho workers against all forms of vico in no small degree, and thero promises to bo a wholesome anti-gambling sentiment in our capital city. We quote a fow points taken from the published sermon of Hov. S. II. Zimmerman at thu Main Street Methodist church. His subject was "Gambling and Gambling Places-Their Supporters and their Victims," and his text the first verso of tho llrst Psalm: "Blessed is the mau that walkoth not in tho counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth In the way of sinners, nor sit teth in tho se?it of tho scornful." Among other things he said: (?ambling is almost uni versal. It ?snot COU ll ned to tho civilized nations, but is also practiced among soini-civilizcd races and barbarians. In fact, I think I could provo lt a relict of barbarism, (.ambling is as old as the ages. In thu Kornau Republic strict and strenuous laws were enacted against it; not on account of tho habit itself, but because of its effect. It made then, as it does now, a raco of effeminate and unmanly men. Cicero, Tacitus and other historians of tho day said that Rome should have strict laws against it it" they wished to preserve a st tong race of men. The first laws In England against gambling wore made for the same purpose. * * * Tho ono tixed conception of all civilized pooplo is that to preserve a raco manly and strong gambling must be strangled out. The Grecian Influence, which is worth most, is that transmitted from the two centuries when she endeavored to make the physical ideal a god. Hannibal, the conqueror, led bis armies to tho top of tho Alps. Tho soldiers, worn-out and almost: freezing, said : "We can go no further," but, Hannibal, point ing to Ibo valleys-Italy-said, "Victory lies yendor." The armies pushed on, and conquered ct i t y after city, until they readied Rome itself. Then winter came on and they encamped almost nuder the walls of the imperial city. Being idle they fell lo gambling and into other vices, and when the spring oamo again they were defeated hy thu hosts of Scipio. It is thus with America. I view her with pride-a great country in lier might. Her future is great, if only she does not allow the manhood of hersons to bo sapped by vloo. Whatever encourages an individual to depend upon something elsi; than the sweat of the brow is a bane to society. A country to be groat must bo industri ous. And yet there aro many men in this city who gel their living without work. Ile who acquires anything of value from another without repaying lum is a thief-yot in Columbia there are men who are included in this charge. Ono of tho brightest acts in the history of this city was the request of the police commission (hat. thc slot machines be suppressed. 11 is for yon as citizens to express in somo way your approbation of this request. More money goes into the slot machines in one week than comes into this church in a wbolo year. These machines aro the beginnings of greater vices. Kvoryono is enticed by then. Chinch members and little boy8 contrib ute to them I would not. be surprised If some children stole from their parents to gamble. Vou may toll mo to break up I he greater vie?? of gambling, hut I say to you that if I wanted to drain the Mississippi River I would start at the head waters. No man learns to gamble in a gambling den. if there were on one side of me a gambling den and 011 the other side a luxurious home with wine Oil the table and a progressive cacher game going on, I would send my son to the gambling den in preference to the other. The bane of society are the things that lead to pernicious sin. Tho two most prevalent in Columbia society are the slot machines and high lifo gamb ling. ' * * Is Columbia able to wipe out this evil ? She is the best governed city I ever saw. The police force is organized better than I ever saw. Kv cry policeman is required to roporl to headquarters any gambling den of whose existence ho may he aware. Every thirty minutes ho sends In his re port by telephone, and the matter is re ported until th?; chief is notified of lt. Thus tho poliooman is roliovodof respon sibility. Von say, then, why do not tho police do their duty? I will tell you : If there WOro forty gambling rlens reported last night to tho chief of polico ho could have done practically nothing to suppress them. There is no law in this eily that will strangle gambling. If a man is found in a ?hui with canis in his hands he may be arrested, but the keopor of tho divo goes freo. Supposo these places are reported a hundred times, they cannot be eradicated. Tho policemen aro not to blaine; for if thero was ;i son ti mont in this city against gambling, then council would pass laws against it. Tho demand would croate the supply. lt is to Ix; hoped this sentiment will bo oroatod and kept alive. Columbia may ho "the best governed city" ovor seen by the Rev. Mr. Zimmerman, but there is abundant room for Improvement in many ways. Unless thero has hoon wrought a great change in tho late years there are one or two places in tho city where, several nights in each wcoks, a pair, a ti io or a half ?lozen men promi nently connootod with State affairs could be found getting money by means other than tho "sweat of the brow." The Best Liniment for Strains. Mr. K. II. Wi lls, the merchant at Doer Park, Long Island, N. V., says: "1 always recommend Chamberlain's Pain Kalin as tlio best liniment for strains. 1 used it last winter for a uevere lame ness in the side, resulting from a strain, and was greatly pleased with tho quick relief and ouro lt effected," For sahl hy J.

Loss of Life and Destruction of Property Far Exceeds Early Estimates. Chattanooga, June 80.- Saturday's storm seems to have dons much more damage lo this section than was at first thought. Several people In the sur rounding country lost their lives, while the damage to property sud crops was great. Several hundred trees in tho city were torn up by the roots and thrown across the st reds and sidewalks. Miss Cora Kelley, one of the teachers in the Chattanooga publie schools, met her death in Moigs county by the falling of a tree, which orushed her. Sbo and another young lady were out driviug when tho storm came up, and they drove under n large tree for shelter. Near Fairmount, ou Walden's Ridge, two men were killod at tho same timo, whilo eugagod in tboir daily labor. James Cr tyson, proprietor, and Jesso Mays, assistant, were at work at tho former's saw mil), and wero proparing to close down for tho day, when tue storm came up. The circular saw was cutting tho last troo, whoa suddenly tho terrible force of tho wind, snapped a gigantic limb from a troo nearby aud hurled it with groat force against the two men. Mays was throwu backward and directly across the circular saw, and bis body was cut almost in two. Grayson was iustautly killed by tho force of the fall ing limb. At Harriman, about 70 miles north of this city, on tho Cincinnati Southern, thu home of Mrs. Frank Dugger was struck by lightning and her daughter, Delilah, was instantly killod, whilo another daughtor, Mary, was seriously, if not fatally, injured. The houso was sot on Oro, but extinguished. In addition to these thoro were two men killed at Raccoon, Ga., near this city, hy lightning. Loss Estimated at Million Dollars. St. Louis, Juno 30.-A low estimate placed on tho damago wrought within a radius of 160 miles of Alton, 111., hy tho storm of wind and rain that prevailed Saturday night and Sunday, is $1,000,000. While the farmers aro the heaviest los ers, tho railroads also suffered severely. Railroad trafilo in tho bottom lands is completely shut off. Tho big plant of tho Western Cartridgo Company at Kast Alton was flooded. Tho loss will ho no less than $5,000. Reports received this morning from tho Plaza Crook District say that tho farmers lost their outlro crop of wheat. Damage from Storm Very Great. Danville, Ul., Juno HO.-A heavy l-ain and wind Saturday night and Sunday havo ruined tho oat crop find heavily damaged wheat and corn. Tho low lands aro sovoral foot under water.

Salem, Juno :t0.-Editors Courior: In The Courier of Juno 'i5tb I seo Mr. S. II. Snead wants definite information from Mack Terry about tho charge laid to bim in regard to that eight-dollar job of work for twice tho amount, tho placo, tho bid der and so on. Mr. Snead will remember that candi dates arc forgetful as well'as othor peo ple, especially whon thoy aro iii ofiico, electioneering, farming and engineering for Ooonoo county, all at tho samo time. This littlo pieco of work that scorns to stick Mr. Snead so much is on Mr. L. A. H. Moss's place, near Salem, and sets in at tho Barbecue bridge, leading towards Grant's bridge, about 200 yards long. ?Mr. J. lt. (irogan was ono of the eight dollar men and Mr. Tom Crow was tho other. Mr. (?rogan told mo of this while we were traveling over tho now road. Mr. .John M. Hudson was the man who made tho new road. I never saw Mr. Hudson at work on tho road. Mr. (irogan tobi mo ho did tho work; that is, Mr. (?rogan told me that Mr. Hudson did tin- work, and was to have $10 for it. 1 suppose Mr. Hudson told tho saino, that he was to have $1(5 for tho work. Mr. Snead thinks Mack Perry got off thc track when ho was in Georgia hunt ing up evidence concerning our roads. Hardly, Mr. Snead; I don't need to go that far from homo. It is not evidonce that is raising such a dust in Oconou about toads; it is the way the present Hoard of Com missioners aro squander ing the county's money and not working our roads. That is the trouble. Now, Mr. Snead wants Mack Perry to put on his governor bolt, so his little stem of just iee can shut off his big head of nonsense and givo facts just as they aro. Of oourso, Mr. Snead, I am willing to do as yon say. I don't know anything (dsn but t') obey orders, especially from the engineer. Hut tho truth is what sticks to tho gizzard. Now pull off your governor belt and pull opon tho throttle, and let us seo how you will como out with your own big head of stoam. Turn your DOBO a littlo to ono sido, so it won't strike tlieso rocks too fair. Now, Mr. Snead, you said in tho close of your article: "If Mr. Perry has tho best interest of tho county at heart, I don't seo why ho does not como to the letting of advertised work and make rea sonable bids, so we can save tho county money." Tho reason why it would bo time lost to mo, and wouldn't benefit the county any, is that last spring you gavo me a job of work to do and askod mo to got Mr. Wigington to survey it in con nection with some othor work. I did as you told me. of course; I know no bettor. I saw Mr. Wigington and told him what you said. Ho did tho work, for which you said you would pay him. I lost ono day; thought I would get something out of it, but I havo nover got it and novor will. A few days boforo I was ready to work on it you wroto and told mo to hold up. I did so. In a fow moro days you carno up and wo talked somo. It scorned to mo that you wanted somo one olso to havo tho job. I gave way liko I always did. I know no bettor than to do just as you said. So if 1 had boon at tho Tanyard bridgo I would havo looked for something of tho same kind. It is hardly worth whilo to ride that far for a job when I can't bo trusted with a smaller ono closer homo. So now, if you wish, wo will close, as you aro a candidato and I do not wish to hinder you. Nut if you aro not satisfied, splash in your mud. I havo a few shells already loaded. Mack Perry.

MAJOR 8TRIBLING FOR CONGRESS. A Pelzer Man Who Believes Stribling The Man ! For The Place. [Belton Time?, Juue20.] Pelzer, S. O., June ?0. 1902. Mr. Editor: One of the most perplex ing questions, confronting the average troter in the coming primary election con 'tere in the race for Congress from this District. The race is a many sided one, and one that taxes the ingenuity of the most adept political forecasters to fore see. The situation is a complex one aside from the number of entries in the race and one that needs to be solved in a thoughtful, calm and unbiased manner. The gravity of the situation demands that a contest upon which so mueb of the real welfare of the country depends should bo settled upon matters of princi ple and not upon personal grounds. 1 am quite aware that Andersou county has two candidates in the field, deserv edly popular and posessed of rare per sonal magnetism. Against these really estimable gontlemeu it is pot my purposo to say ono word, but I do insist that weighed in the balance of loyalty, party consistency, and real devotion to prinol plo in victory or defeat, the example of Major William J. Stribliug, of Oconoo, is without emulation in the ranks of bis opponents. Against his Democracy there has nover boen tho slightest asporsion, whilo reBorving to himself tho right of all iroomon to differ with tho real leaders of the party in matters of oxpedienoy, ho has always bowed in submission to tho will of tho majority aud fought val iantly for the expressed will of the party. In dutering with tho loaders of tho party in state politics, he has won for himself golden opinions on account of the forci bio yot respectful expression of bis un erring judgment; tho calm, unruffled equipoise with which ho launched his thunderbolts of logic, swaying the thoughtful aud unprejudiced miud by his eloquent and unanswerable appeals to reason, yot throughout it all without offending tho feelings of tho most. SOU8? tivo naturo. Activo aud potent SB ho has boon in shapiug the policies of tho party, antagonistic as it has boon necessary for him to bo to certain contemplated actious of tho party which afterward booame in corporated into tho party machiuory, not ono violent and hasty expression of bis, utterod in tho boat of debato, has re turned to down him nud to stultify his party. These facts I merely men tion to illustrate his cool, calm, solf-cou trol and his deop sonso of propriety and prudence These aro all primo requi sites for tho man who shall roproBont us in tho National IIouso of Representa tives. Ho should not ho a hothead nor a figuro head; bo should not be a boss nor n potty statollito; wo need no shrewd trunnier no moro than tho inoffensive incompetent. Thoy aro all dangerous mon and nt this timo, tho real crisis of tho Democratic party, all true patriots should nut their shoulders to the wheol and elect tho mon bost qualified to wrestlo with tuc deep and momentous questions of tho day upon tho forum. It is no timo for untried mon. Our next Congressman should bo judged by his talents and his achievements and, by this test, William J. Stribling stands out j i re eminent above any man in tho Dis trict outsido of ofiicial lifo. Major Stribling is not a politician by j choice, lt was only in responso to tho urgent appeals of his friends, who early recognized his merit, that ho consent cd to enter public lifo whoa ho was olectod to tho Legislature of his county in 1883 1884. Ho thou wont into voluntary re tirement, owing to tho drain upon his private affairs caused by his continuance in political lifo. Ho was again called from his retirement to go to tho Consti tutional Convention whero ho distin guished himself and served his county with honor and eminent distinc tion. Thcso aro tho only political ofiicos ho over held and to which ho over as pired. His friends have urged him to enter tho Congressional raco and ho has consented to do so. His garments havo nover boon tainted with tho smell of defeat, and now that ho is making a vig orous campaign in his behalf, and as his t i lends throughout tho Dtatrlot aro be stirring themselves, there is no doubt that ho is the leading mau in tho raco. Pei haps thc most distinguished fea ture about Major Stribling's career, botli in public and private lifo, as representa tive in tho law-making bodies and in tho party conventions, has hoon his desi ic to promoto harmony in tho party ranks and Ins broadminded fairness in dealing with tho groat question of labor and capital. He is in hearty sympathy witli tho great army of laborers and is a close student of tho labor conditions of to-day. He believes the best sohlt lon of the labor problem is tho inspiration of confidence and mutual dopendenco tho ono upon tho othor of labor and capital, such con- I fldenoo as is ovinccd hy tho operatives and tho owners of tho Polzer, Relton, Piedmont and Anderson mills. Ho wishes to encourage legitimate invest ment, hut in so doing doesn't want it to uso its powers to crush out other legiti mate persuits; nor does ho consider it fair and just that, having secured an in vestment in our borders, wo proceed at] once to harry it with oppressive legisla tion in the porsilitof its legitimate, busi ness. Major Stribling is a vory successful farmer and lawyor, an ablo debator with a well equipped and well trained brain, and a parliamentarian of no mean ability. Tile good pooplo of Audorson county will honor themselves hy honoring such a man with their ballots, and if be is oleeted I pledge him to bo an honor not only to his District, but to tho Stato of South Carolina.

Augusta, 04., Juno 28.-There was a serious riot OD board the Southern Kalb way trait) that left Augusta about 0 o'clock this norning. Just before the train stopped at tho water tar-k at Lang ley, eight miles from Augusta, there was some trouble between several negroos and a white man named John MoDaniel. The uegrocs bad been drinking aud were iu an ugly aud boisterous mood. A flgkt was begun and pretty soon was general between the white men and negroes in tho car. Pistols and knives were called into play by both sides, and tho conduc tor pulled the train up to the station in tho hope of getting police help at Langley. As the train stopped at Laugloy some of the combatants rushed out and the light iug between whites and blacks became goueral on the traiu and all around- the station.
