U. conventions the delegates went to visit Miss Willard's home in Evanston, 111. Many of the women who had this privilege were deeply impressed with the mottoes fastened to the walls of Miss Willard's study and sleeping room. In the "Den" was this motto, which explains, in some degree, why Miss Willard accomplished so much work : "For who knows most, him loss of time most grieves." In the sleeping room, inscribed on a small white banner, suspended from the head of the bcd by a silken cord, was this : "Sleep sweetly in this quito roora, Oh, thou, whoe'er thou art: And let no mourn fal yesterdays Disturb thy quiet heart. Nor let to-morrow acaro thy rest With dreams of coming ill: Thy M aber ia thy changeless Friend, His love surrounds theo still. Forgot thyself and all tho world : Put out each glaring light; Tho star.-, aro watchiug overhond, Sleep sweotly, then : Good-night." # * # A Better Gift Than a Sword. 'Ono of the pleading features at West Point Military Academy is the annual presentation of Bibles to the graduating class. This year sixty six members chose the King James version, while the others preferred the revised version. It is one of the most solemn and impressive hours in the entire school year at tho academy, when those young men who have been educated at the expense of the government to become officers in the army file into the chapei to go forth in possession of tho inspired Word furnished by the Christian people of America. It is said that tho unwritten code for conduct among tho cadetf requires each man to keep and treas ure the gift reverently, and with thal true deference without whioh no sol dier can ever become a horo. In presenting the Bibles this year the Rev. John Fox made a shor address, which was listened to atten tively by all the cadets. His wordi about tho Good Book aro woll wortl the **tention of othor young men a well as our coming army officers, Ile said : "What better gift can man give tc his fellows ?

Atlanta, October 28.-Gordon Noel Hurtel, the well known news paper man of Atlanta, haa fallen heir to an estate of many million franca in "France, and it ia stated that bia individual share will be over 1,000 000 franca. The announcement comes through the Frenoh consul at Mobile, who was notified by the French government that there was a vast estate belonging to the Hurtel heirs in Franoe, and asked for any traces of the family in this part of the United States. The necessary, papers, identifying Mr. Hurtel with with the family whose heirs were sought, have been prepared and are now in the hands of the Frenoh con sul, whom it is believed will secure tho property in a short while. The family of Mr. Hurtel were Bonapart ists and left France during the reign of terror, leaving all property behind. Mr. Hurtel is one of the best known members of the Atlanta newspaper profession.

Strong action was taken by the gen eral convention of the Universalis! church yesterday on the divorc? question.

BEAYIRDAM ASSOCIATION. Th? Body Inaugurates a New Missionary Work Whereby Weak Churches will be Benefited. At the last meeting of the Beaver dam Association a resolution was passed ordering a meeting to be held at Conneroee ohuroh in September, composed of two delegates from eaoh church, to consider tho advisability of continuing the work of a mis sionary in the association. At this meeting the condition of the field was fully discussed, and the sentiment prevailed that it was not best to continue the work as last year, putting a missionary to work over the whole association, but that more praotioal good would result from helping the weaker ohurchea support such pastors aa would do effectual missionary work in these churches, and so appoint them mis aionarieg in their respeotive fields. Reasons for this were fully discussed and the meeting adjourned to meet at Westminster on Friday before the third Sunday in October, at whioh time the following resolutions wore adopted : x Resolved 1. That it is the^ense of this body that our State%nssion work be continued and enlarged if possible. 2. That our executive oommittee be authorized to advise the appropri ation of the funds received from the churches in supplementing pastors' salaries where needed and in organ- j izing new ohurohes where advisable. By this method it was hoped to stimulate these needy ohurohes to the support bf live, energetio pastors, full of the spirit of missions and of progress, by co-operating with the State board through the executive committee. We hope all the churches and pas tors will heartily co-operate with this plan, and so help in making the work a success. Churches needing this help will make application to executive committee through F. M. Cary, chairman, Seneca, S. C. J. R. Moore, ) ^ ... J. M. McGuire, f Committee. Fatal Wreck on Santa Fe. Kansan City, October 29.-The eastbound train No. 2 from California, on the Santa Fe, which left Kansas City at 6 o'clook last night, was wrecked at 9 : 80 o'clock at Dean Lake, Mo., 85 miles east of Kansas City. Mrs. Emma Booth-Tucker, of the Salvation Army, was fatally injured-; dying at2:50oclock this morning at Maoeline, Mo. Col. Thomas Holland, of the Salvation Army colony at Amity, Colo., was fatally injured. He died early to day. Two others were fatally injured and thirteen received more or less serious wounds. The train ran into an open switch and struck a large steel water tank with sucli a force as to move it five feet from its foundation and throw five oars from the track, .completely wrecking them. The only cars escaping were the mail, express and day coaches. The brake rod to the uleeper dropped down and caught on the switch ; this quickly derailed this car and another sleeper, tho dining oar and Pullman following. A new game called "Christianity" is played at Colma Center. Here is how they play it : The Christians, who are the girls, get on one side, and the boys get on the other, and are the heathens ; then the heathens oross over and embrace Christianity.

Five prisoners, sentonood at tho recent term of the United States Court in Greenville, were taken to Atlanta Thursday. Thom unfortu nate human beings will be placed in the Federal prison at the Georgia metropolis to serve out the time allotted to eaoh by the court. Uart, the young man who plead guilty to having robbed the Spartanburg post office, was handcuffed to Haywood, or Arrowood, as the roan's real name seems to be, who waa convicted of raising the value of a bank note. Hart is intelligent looking and from bis frank, open oountenanoe it is hard to believe him guilty of the crime whioh be himself acknowledges that he committed. Not so with the mau linked to Hart'B wrist. His face was dull and expressionless. It is such a faoe that bailies those who attempt to discern the innermost thoughts of the man. There was in deed a suggestion of sadness in the eyes, a melanoboly oast about the face. Van Freeman, oonvioted of man slaughter for taking the life of Hol land Durham, at a distillery in the upper part of the oounty, waa the next prisoner to euter the oar. He was well dressed and oarried a email traveling satchel. Freeman is a na tive of Piokens and comeB from a respectable family. He waa not handcuffed or chained in any way and had all the appearance of a well to-do traveler. Two negro women from Union oounty brought up the rear of the little procession of criminals. They were oonvioted of forging postal money orders. They were ordinary in appearance and seemed to possess neither the intelligence nor boldness commonly supposed to exist as an attribute to such a class of criminality. To them imprisonment means little more than a deprivation of personal liberty for a time. There is no sting of mortification for such as these. The little negro who stole tho let ters from tho rural deliverer was taken by a deputy marshal to a re formatory in Maryland. He showed plainly what imprisonment meant to him. His ebony face was the picture of hopeless despair, and the sting of loneliness and longing for home and familliar faces was already bringing tears <<> his eyes, that streaming down mingled with grime and dirt on his face. If there is anything in reformat ea, he gives promise of being a be ooy at the end of his three years of confinement.-Green ville News. A Policeman's Testimony. J. N.

Every great leader our oountry has ever had has seen the importance of an education for the coming genera tion. George Wast'ugton, the father of his oountry, gave property for educational purposes. Eduoation moves the world. Edu oatiou takes the wild rose and trans forms it into the American 1 Beauty. God's great work has been building up man. Stop the schools and see what will happen. The printing presses, transportation^ will cease by degrees and the world will come to a standstill. An engine will bo-jrun ning along and the engineer will die at his post.

Hamilton W. Mabie. * * * That eduoation is the key of Northern as of Southern security ; that education does not mean politi cal service or raoial antagonism ; that education begins at the bottom, and not at the top ; that the South and the North have a common stake in the eduoation of the whole people ; that illiteracy is inconsistent with democracy ; that the part of the North is no\ to patronise ur criticize, but reinforoe the initiative of the South ; and that the strength and sacrifice of the Southern States for education present the most honora ble and gallant achievement of mod ern American citizenship-all this is conclusively determined.-Dr. Fran ois G.

Nearly three times more money was spout in this country last year for drink than was spout for schools and churches! An average of $17.33 per capita for drink alone alcohol, coffee, tea, cocoa 1 If all the people of the State would stop their drink bills just 365 days and give tho drink money to the sohools, educational and religious work could be revolutionized within the next year. # # * Does Education Pay? Some years ago ray father, a natural genius in some respects, but uneduoated, was a day laborer in a factory located in a Northern State. Four sons were born and reared in the humble home of that uneducated, untrained day laborer. They all learned their father's trade. I was the oldest son and 1 used every opportunity to get a little edu oation, attending tho winter sohool, as did all my other brothers. All of us grew to manhood and all learned our father's trade, as l said above. 1 still continued ray education largely by homo reading. But for several years I worked at my trade only s few months of the year and with the money I earned attended sohool. My two brothers next of age seemed nol to caro for an eduoation, ne^ coted the common Behool, and too : thc first opportunity to leave it forever I succeeded in encouraging mj youngest brother to remain in th< common school until ho completed its course of study. In addition U this common school training thu brother secured a term or two ol normal school training. My eduoation soon enabled mo tc seouro a foreman's position in thc factory, but my two brothers, natu rally as gifted as myself, had to re main laborors because they had no enough education to take higher po sitions. From a foromnn's place J rose to bo manager of tho faotory. ] now manage a number of faotoriei and am a director in several larg? corporations. My youngest brothel whom*! kept in school is one of rai foremen and is earning a good salary My othor two brothers now work fo me. Thoy are still day laborers They oannot get higher beoause the] have no education. During the pas ten years I could have put boto o them in positions paying fron $1,500 to $2,600 por year, if they had had even a thorough elementan school education.

Strange Character ol John Taylor, of the Early Arkansas Bar. At the last meeting of the Arkan sas Bar Association, saya Law Notes, the Presiden/, George B. Boee, de livered an interesting address on "The Bar of Early Arkansas," in which ito set himself the task of res cuing from oblivion some memories of the carly leaders of the bar and reconstructing the conditions under wbioh they worked. Among them is presented the ourious figure of John Taylor, whose picturesque and terrible character might well furnish a hint for a Sir Waiter Scott, if we were fortunate enough to possess a suooessor to the great novelist : "John Taylor was only a sojourner in Arkansas from 1887 to 1844, but he was so remarkable a man that be should not be forgotten. * * * Everybody who heard him agreed that in oapaoity for invective, for withering, blustering, envenomed eloquence he excelled any human be iug that ever spoke, and tbat he seemed possessed of a demoniao power. He was a tall, lank, red haired man, repulsively ugly, with little green eyes that glistened like those, of a snake, and with a fashion of licking out his tongue that was strangely serpentine. Ile talked to no one save on business. "When he settled in Little Rook, whither he had come from Alabama after he had been defeated in his oandidaoy for tho United States Senate, all the bar called on him, but he received them with repelling coldness and returned no visits. He had a wife, but nobody ever saw her -wonderful thing considering the small size of Little Rook at the time. During the seven years of his so journ he never crossed any man's threshold and no man crossed his. In riding the oircuit ho always rode alone, permitting no companionship, and while in attendance upon Court he would, if the weather permitted, live in a tent pitohed in the neigh boring wood, where ho might not have to look on the hated face of his fellowman. Yet this modern Timon, a thousand times more embittered and malignant than he of Athens, was a devout Christian, assiduous in his attendance at church, and always speaking with intense religious con viction. But his strange, invisible wife did not appear even ou the Sab bath. As c lawyer he was a terror. His knowledge of law was prodigious and bis memory of authorities almost superhuman. He spared no one and feared no une ; but while he never suggested a resort to personal vio lence, he always carried two pistols in the pockets of his long black coat, in readiness to repel any attack. * * * In 1855 ho appeared one day in our Supreme Court, much aged, but still erect, proud, scornful and malignant, and on looking around on suoh of his old opponents as sur vived, departed without speaking to any one, and went forth upon his lonely way, whither no man know." --^??
