PUBLIC OPINION-ITS ORIGIN, Office* and Influence-Tho Lecture of tho Hon. John D. Cappclmann. The lecture by Hon. John D. C?p pelmann, of Charleston,at. St. John's Evangelical Lutheran church of Wal halla last Su ml ay afternoon at 4 o'clock, was heard with deep interest by a large and appreciative audience. The thaine, was handled in an able manner, the delivery earnest and im pressive. Public opinion, its origin, office and influence, potent for either good or evil, weal or woe, was set forth from various view points; the , address as a whole embodying cor rect moral standards and high ideals of life and conduct. Healthy, en lightened public sentiment In the community, State and nation is like tinto the individual conscience, com mending the right and condemning the wrong. By many apt Illustra tions from both li isl ot y and nature this truth was illustrated and en forced. The Scriptural references wore so appropriate and numerous that the discourse may be written down as a lay sermon. It was an earnest appeal for the performs nee of duty in all relations of life, and it imparted a moral uplift to all who sat under the sound of the speaker's voice. Would that lt could be re peated in every town and community in South Carolina. It ls refreshing to listen to such a discourse when the hearer knows that the speaker has no ulterior, selfish nurnose to serve. One is carried back in thought to the an cient day? wh-3n the sages taught the people in the groves-nature's grand theatres. "I think, O Socrates, that the chief end of life ls the'making and the hearing of such discourses as these of yours," said one of his en thusiastic* disciples to the ancient philosopher, whose allegiance to truth and duty, amid *he darkness of ancient heathenism know no abate ment, and for whom the deadly hem lock was robbed of its terror. The-, example set by Mr. Cappel mann is wofthy of emulation by oth ers of evident fitness. Though a busy lawyer, yet he lays aside the nrmty tomes as occasion offers, and shrives as a teacher and guide to his people. May his tribe Increase! Several selections were admirably rendered by the choir. The service from first to last was interesting and instructive. Rev. N. B. Clarkson led in an opening prayer and Intro duced the speaker. The Limit of Life. The most eminent medical scien tists are unanimous in the conclu Flon that the generally accepted lim itation of human life ls many years below the uttalnment possible with the advanced knowledge of which the race is now possessed. The critical period that determines its duration sems to be between 50 and 60; the proper caro of the body during this decade cannot be too strongly urged, carelessness then being fatal to lon gevity.

We are'ln receipt of the following from a reader at Newry: "To the Editor of The Courier: We 'listened' to the first 'Local and Per sonal' In the Becond column of the last Courier, and wo thought the 'Bells' said tintin (nabulation), and not tld-te (nabulation). Maybe they were cow-bells we heard? "Spellln' B." Yes, Poe undoubtedly wroto it "tintinnabulation;" also we find our old and tried friends, Webster and Worcester, were equally prodigal in their waste of letters. Now, how ever, "me and Teddy" have adopted fonetic speling and we spot ii tinte nabulntion. That ls our "excuse" for tho misspelled word. To be candid, though, thc 'reason" for lt was simply that, we fell down on the word. We can.'t lay lt to the "Intelligent compositor," tho "devil" or anybody else. It was up to "us" (me) and we (I) took a fall.

C. g I HAYNE CIRCLE ENTERTAINED By Mrs. Sidney Adams and Miss Annio Biemann Last Thursday. _______ As yet the most delightful of . the numerous entertainments given . by members of the Paul Hayne Circle was that of Mrs. Sidney Adams and' Miss Annie denian n, which was given in honor of that club and a few in vited guests last Thursday, afternoon at their lovely homo on Faculty Hill. The rooms were artistically deco rated with cut flowers and handsome pot plants, and a generous punch bowl was arranged at the end of the hall, behind a mass of golden rod and fern, and was presided over by that dainty little Miss, the sister of the hostesses, Ida Biemann. After all had assembled, each guest was presented with a mysterious lit tle roll of paper, which proved to be, upon investigation, a clever original contest conceived by Mrs. Adams, entitled, "A Musical Romance." The proper arrangement of this contese furnished a merry half hour, and then time being called, the prize was awarded the lucky ones, Miss Hayne and Mrs. B. F. Sloan, who had tied in the contest. In the draw Mrs. Sloan was successful, and was pre sented with a handsome steel en graving of Handell. Mrs. Adams then graciously bade her guests into the spacious dining room, which never looked more at tractive than on this occasion, with the daintily appointed tables, the musses of flowers, and over all the soft i?ght of many shaded lamps. Mrs. Adams and Miss Biemann had prepnrud a delightful surprise for their cuests in the shape of a typical Connan lunch, served on real German china, brought to this country by their grand-parents. Coffee was served from a beautiful antique cof fee urn, by Miss Gertrude Biemann, the pretty young sister of the hos tesses. The guests present Were Mesdames B. F. Sloan, E. R. Lucas, D. L. Smith, J. A. Steck, J. W. Bell. J. A. Shields, and W. B. Cheat ham, of Dawson, Ga., L. R. VanDiviere, of Savannah, Ga., Misses Annie Vernor, Cora, Daisy and Alice Strong, Miss Hayne, of Fort Motte, S.
