A Savannah dispatch to the Au gusta Herald says : Senator Benjamin Tillman, of South Carolina, took in some bad money while he was in Savannah' some days ago. A counterfeit $100 bill was passed on bim, and he did not discover that the bill was worth less until be got back to Columbis, S. C., after leaving the bill on deposit at Washington. The bill was given in part payment for the lecture on the race question that the Senator delivered here. The price he received was $150, this being in one $100 bill, two $20 bills aud one $10 bill. It was paid him by J. E. Limehou8o, one of those who secured the Senator as an attraction. Mr. Liimehouse had drawn it from the Commercial Bank of this city. When the Senator got back to Washington he found that he had more oash than he wished to carry with him. He accordingly turned the $100 bill over to the Financial Clerk of the Senate, who gave him a check for it, which the Senator for warded to his own bank in Columbia. He himself came to South Carolina, where he soon received a letter from the Financial Secretary saying that the bill bad been turned over to the Treasury Department, and had been pronounced a counterfeit and punched full of boles. Tho Treasury Department has had correspondence with the Commercial Bank, which thinks it knows who deposited the bill with it originally. The bank has made <$ood to the Senator.

A clear moon indicates frost. A dull looking moon means rain. A single halo around the moon indioates a storm. If the moon looks high, cold weather may be expeoted. If the moon looks low down, warm weather is promised. The moon on her back always denotes wet weather. A double halo around the moon means very boisterous weather. If the moon ohanges with the wind in the east, then shall we have bad weather. If the moon be bright and clear when three days old, fine weather is promised. When the moon is visible in the daytime, then may we look forward to oool days. When the points of the crescent of the new moon are very clearly visible, frost may be looked for. If the new moon appears with its points upward then will the month be dry, but should the points he downward more or less raiu must bo expeoted during the next tbreo weeks. ls Indigestion a Disease. ? The best medtoal authorities say that indigestion is not always caused by a diseased stomach, but may result from a disordered liver, constipation, excite ment, eto. The cause .is of little conse quence when Rydales Stomach Tablets are taken, aa they never fail to digest tbe food, oheek fermentation, freo tho stomach from irritating acids aud an ex cess of gas. They relievo at onco, boloh ing, heartburn, aour p.toroach, fullness after eating, etc. Rydaler Stomach Tab lets have a specific tonio effect on tho stomach and organs of assimilation aud are guaranteed to euro the worst forma of stomach trouble. J. H. Darby, Wal* halla; Seneca Pharmaoy. Olspensers and Church Membership. In the Methodist conference a few days ago, when the subject of tem perance was before that body, Bishop Smith was asked the question if ti dispenser could be retained as a ohurch member, and he gavo it as 1 his opinion that if ho was pastor of a church and one of his members should be appointed dispenser he would advise him to withdraw from the church before accepting such an office. And if ho should fail to withdraw in the circumstances, and should accept tbe office, that he should be brought up for trial ; that no man can dispense liquor and at tho same time bo a proper subject for church membership. The opin ion of the Bishop evidently met with the hearty approval of the Confer ence. We would naturally expect such an opinion from such a source. Wo arc glad tho question was asked and answered as it was. We never have believed that a member of the church could consistently till the office of dispenser, liquor commissioner, or servo on a board of control, Stato or oounty. If a member of the church accepts suoh a position and cannot be persuaded to resign, tho duty of the churob is plain, to withdraw .cl lowehip from tho erring brother. Our churches oannot afford to have any entanglement with this form of darkness. So far as we know the matter bas been so settled by the ohurohes. The man who is con nected with the manufacture, salo and use of liquor as a beverage is not a desirable man for ohurch mem bership, and the ohurch should part company with him. Just why any one so living should wish to remain a member of the church we cannot understand. We can understand how some of our brethren differ as to the necessity of withdrawing fel lowship from liquor drinkers a.id liquor dealers, and that these offend ers are borne with patiently, but tin ohurohes oannot afford to ignore these things, and the only consistent course for the churches to pursue is strict corrective discipline. 'Wo are glad that there has boon a great ohange for the better in this regard within the past few years. With liquor business, renting property for this purpose, signing petitions, en dorsing men to engage in the manu facture of liquor, voting for liquor men, ohuroh members should posi tively declino to have any part, and they should make themselves dearly understood io all these matters, and refrain from the very appearance of evil .-Baptist Courier.

Will some brother, who is an au thority ou the subject, please come forward sud explain to the ladies why Christmas, of all times of the year, is chosen for gelling drank and indulging in free fights and other pastimes of that nature? It is a problem that they have been trying to solve for many years, and they are no nearer a solution DOW than when they first began. Of course they know that there in more time for it thou than for any other season of tho year, in towns where a long vacation from ono's usual work is j given, as is the case in "Tracts End," and if it was not suoh a very inap propriate thing to do, that would seem to be the answer to the ques tion, for "Satan finds something for idle hands to do" always ; but they cannot understand how a reasonable being oan bring himself to aot in such a way at this time. If it was any one else's birthday they were celebrating it would not seem so preposterous. Think, men and boys, how your wife, mother, sister or sweetheart would feel if you should celebrate their birthday by getting drunk and outtiDg up generally ? Do you think they would feol complimented and grati fied at the ,attention ? If yon do, just try it once and then listen at tentively to their remarks when you are in your right mind again and you will soon understand just how suoh a course of conduot would affect them. You will feel like the lunatic asylum is the best place for you, when they get through with you. We do not know that the twenty fifth of December is Christ's birth day, for the Bible does not give the exaot date of his birth. Ile very evidently foresaw that we would not have sense enough to keep it right, and thought it best to leave us in doubt as to the exaot time, and now that we have taken ?ton ourselves to seleot a day and set it apart for his birthday does it not appear ridicu lous for us to spend it in doing things that we know will grieve and displease him ? When Christ and his holy angels lean over the parapets of heaven and look down* upon our poor little world, as they very likely do on Christmas day, to see how we are celebrating his birthday, they see some things which, no doubt, causes them to smile indulgently. "Jesus loves the little children" and is pleased to see them happy, even, we believe, if they have been made so ? by the old myth of Santa Claus hav ing come down the chimney the night before and filled their stock ings with the beautiful things they found in them. No, not always filled them. Sometimes while the father is celebrating the. event by getting roaring drunk, the little stockings have nothing but a stick of candy and an apple or orange in them which the heart-broken mother has managed to get for them, so her children will not have the great dis appointment of rinding their stock ings entirely empty. Then the holy watchers are pleased to see old fric ids who have become estranged reunited by tho little tokens of re membrance which they reoeive at this time, and if there is a miserable, starving prodigal away from home on this day when the "vision of the old folks at home" comes to his mind and he remembers how "even the servants in ti?H father's house have enough nnd to spare, and he resolves . that lie will arise and go to bis father, how our dear Lord and the angels rejoice at the sight. Wo cannot celebrate Jesus's birth day as we ought, because we are not A Sudden Twinge Or pain is generally the first warning of an attack of rheumatism. It feels as if the disease were in the bones or muscles, but the real cause of rheumatism is found in impure blood. In order to cure rheumatism the blood must be cleansed of the poisonous impurities which are the cause of thc disease. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has been very successful in the cure of rheumatism, be cause lt entirely cleo uses the blood from the poison ous substances which are the cause of th? dis ease. It not only Emilies the blood ut by increasing the activity of th? blood-making ?[lands, it increases be supply of pure, rich blood which adda to the vigor of every physical organ. Mr. R. A. McKnight, of Cades, Williams burg Co.. 8. C., writes : ?I had been troubled with rheumatism for' twelve yeera, so bad at times I could uot leave ray ixd. I waa badly crippled. Tried many doctora and two of them gave me up to die. None of them did me mach good. The paina In my beck, hips and legs (and at times In my head), would nearly kui me. My appetite waa very bad.

We should feel like bowing our heads in shame and humiliation when we think of how he was treated when be was here, and try to do nothing now to grieve him. His friends would like to do something for him to show their gratitude for tho great thiaki he has done for them. They should remem tbat he has said, "Inasmuoh as ye have done it unto one of the lesst of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me," and that when they give some thing to one of his poor, sorrowing loved ones he will consider it a birth day gift to himself. He has asked us for one thing which we are to give to him personally, though, for He says, "Hon, give me thine heart." If that has not already been given to Him it is the one thing of all others that will please him most. It was a blessed thing for us that "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever be lieveth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." A Prohibitionist.

"Teachers, like poets, are born, not made," said "W. A. J." in a rtoent artiole iu thia column. After careful starching we find that all poets' mothers had more than ordi nary intelligence, and that .they have all studied to prepare for life's work. Nine per oent are college-bred men. Milton spent er ?I years studying literature art. "W. A. J." said that there were good teachers who never entered col lege. Yes, but they would have been better teachers if they bad boen j in college. Born teachers are ?lin- j monds in the rough ; made teachers are polished diamonds. Who cares for a rough diamond ? Are not our children more precious than these gems I* A female baby is born a female ; but it takes a lot of the mother's prayers and training to make a perfect woman. A Shep herd pup is born a Shepherd pup, but if it is not trained it will not be of any use to tho shepherd. I am glad to say our people are beginning to see that a good teacher pays, for Oconee has more college-trained teaohers to-day than last year. Cnn a stream rise higher than its head ? If we employ these girls who cannot enter the "Prep." class at our colleges, to teach, ive oannot expect to come to the front in edu cational matters. A teacher (?) in Oconee was talking to mo about the books in our libraries. She said, "I do not like 'Tho Sketch Book ;' I like love stories." I also talked with "an accomplished" teaoher about thc educational rally in Oco nee this summer. Her reply was, "I never heard of it before. Does Mr. Ogden live here?" Can a young girl govern a sohool ? Stop and think. The business man has realized that a well-trained book keeper pays. Are not our darlings more precious than our money ? The Bible tells us that Timothy's educa tion began in his grandmothers. Let us go to work bettering our schools. If we want an eduoated people edu cate the women. She is like the candle Shakespeare speaks of. Go over Piokens and Oconee and make the schools a study, as I have ; then you can see that the time is at hand to work. I visited a Behool whare a "born teacher" was teaching. A little child who was of a nervous tempera ment had a nervous chill. The teacher commanded her to bo still. She could not, and was whipped by that teacher. Another "baby teacher" asked a weak-eyed boy to take his book down from his eyes. In one of the schools a teacher was hearing a class. She asked the shape of the earth, and a boy replied, "Round." "That is not like it is in the book ; it says it is round like an apple or a ball." The class looked like dumb, driven oattle. I took an apple and made an objeot lesson of the sha]ie of the earth and the hemi sphere. I left an animated class. To be a successful teacher you must love thc work aud tl o children, share their joys and sorrows. I mimi, that all are not called teachers, but I fear that a large per cont of our teaohers have answered some one's call. I know a man who has two daughters teaching. He is able to send them to college, but puts them out to teaching, saying, "What is the use of spending rooney edu cating them whon they oan draw a salary?" Sherman destroyed our property when he marched to the sea, but this class of teaohers are doing more barm than Sherman. Dickens tells us how thc minds of ohildren aro ruined by poor teachers.

If we had such men as President Johnson, Dr. Mell and their teachers in the country the! whole people would be aided. Wc need two well prepared teaohere to each district in Ooonee. Dr. Cromer1 said at the Picken? Educational Rally, "I am tired of teaching boys in i college who are not well trained. If the foundation is not well laid the building will fall. It is now time to aid the rural schools; they aro foun dation stones to the educational structure." The libral ie? io Ooonee and other improvements are started by the better educated teachers. There is too much idleness in onr rural schools. If the little ohart fellows were given paper, scissors and paste, articles could be made and new idess formed while they' now sit idle. The trustees expect the teaoher to do good work ; yet they never darken the door. . They send the children to Behool like they send the oattle to the pas ture. They never think of them until night. A teaoher needs aid. I am a lover of handsome build ings, monuments and a beautiful oountry ; but I say compare our court house with our school houses oomfortable seats in the court house where men can sit and hear of crime. Our children sit on poor seats and try to learn. Tbe Solici tor said to the Superintendent of Eduoation at a rally in Piokens county : "While I stand here plead ing for better schools I turn the grinding to your mill from mine ; if the teachers would train tho child's mind, heart and hands, my work as your Solicitor would be smaller. Let tu spend our money on better I buildings, better teachers, and have [ fewer courts." When I read in the Southern Edu tiou of the progress in other States ] I want my own county to stir up. The Southern Board, the Youths' Companion the O. R. S. I. A., and the Sunshine Society, are doing a great work for sohools, and our peo ple should loud a baud. Dr. Butriuh, of tho Southern Board, says, "Build up sentiment in your county, get j your sohools stirred np and I will aid you." Next summer the county will over flow with candidates. Men, when you vote, stop and ask yourselves, are we voting to benefit our children or] to please some fancy of nepotism or politics.

South Carolina Pecans. We received some days ago from J. G. Lege a paokage of peoan nuts, grown on his place at Green Pond, South Carolina. Mr. Lego's trees are eight years old, and the nuts whiob he has sent to us are the finest we have ever Been. The larger nats are oalled the Columbian, or Pride of the Coast. It takes only from thirty to forty of them to make a pound, and the Columbian is the largest pecan nut grown. The next in a i/e. is the Van Doman, running from forty to fifty to the pound. This nut is not so large as the Co lumbian, but it is an early bearer, has a thinner shell, is more prolifio, and yields a crop overy year. Mr. Lege is selling his nuts readily at $1 a pound, mostly to. nurserymen, and has only u fow of his present year's orop left. South Carolina made the largest orop of corn ever grown on an acre of land There is ^?o other rice grown anywhere else in the world to compare with Carolina rice. The largest beef ever grown in tho United States waa grown in South Carolina, and now comes Mr. Lege with proof positive that tho largest pecan nuts in the world are grown in this State.

These ob argea were not made by any of the mem bers of his church, but by a brother preacher in another part of the State. Under the oiroumstanoes Mr. Frier son f ;d not preach. He does not know what the specifications are. Some of bia friends say that he has done a very good year's work and that his conduot has appeared all right ; that Pacolet oircuit has been in bad shape several years." Mr. Frierson has served in this county, and has many friends, who feel that he will be exonerated from all oharges. The Spartanbnrg Herald says : "Capt. A. li. Lancaster, chairman of the Board of Stewards of Pacolet Methodist ohnroh, speaks decisively and emphatically in referenoe to a clipping from the Spartanburg cor respondence of the Charleston News apd Courier, which is printed above, and that the statement in that article to the effeot that Paoolot cirouit had been in bad shape for several years was iuoorreot and misleading. While there bas been some trouble there in the past, the stewards of the churoh have faithfully and zealously guarded all of the interests of the church. It appears that tho unfortunate exist ing state of affairs is due to strained or unfriendly relations between the present pastor and a predecessor." There is some rumor to the e ff tot that the pastor of this oircuit has threatenod to sue the board of stew ards for $25,000, and a former pas tor, Rev. S. A. Nettles, for $50,000. The matter was brought up in the reoent annual conference at Green ville and Mr. Frierson was suspended until the oharges against him conld be investigated.

It is said to have been part of a sermon preached by him : "Before I was a Christian I learned one thing, and I want you to hear this. I was away from home, and was robbed on a train. I had all the money of both my friend and myself. He did not have any, and they got mine, and we got off at a station. That was when I was a sinner, and that was 25 or 26 years ago. He was i a steward in the Methodist church, and I was just a plain, common, sim ple sinner ; that is all I was. When we got off at tho station, we stayed around there a moment or two. He says, 'Sam, I wonder if there is an Odd Fellow in town ?' I said, ?An Odd Fellow?* He says, 'Yes.' ?Well,' I said, ?what do you want with an Odd Fellow?' He sajs, 'I oan get some money if I can find an Odd Fellow.' I said, ?Ain't you a Methodist?' He said, ?Yes.' I said, 'Why don't you go to the Metho dists ?' 'Oh, shucks,' he said, *I will go to the Odd Fellows.' And he struck out, and after a very few minutes oame back, and I said, ?How did you come out?' 'All right,' ho said ; *I got it.' ?Who did you get it from ?' 'From au Odd Fellow,' he said. 'Sam, if you want to go to heaven, you join the Metho dists, but if you want a hold down here, join the Odd Fellows.' So when I started in I just joined both, and now I am a Methodist and an Odd Fellow, and I am getting along well for both worlds.' "-Atlanta Journal. Over-Work Weakens Your Kidneys.
