Be Rich and the Men Will Seek You ; Poor, and They Turn and Go. i B/ Su Ac Or GREAT MEETING AT POPLAR. i Twenty-Five Added to the Church. Remarkable Spiritual Revival. The meeting at Poplar Springs was a season of refreshing from the Lord. lt continued for eight days, and there were twenty Ave additions to the church-twenty-two by confes sion of faith and three by letter. The Influence of the Holy Spirit was most wonderfully manifested from the first service. Rev. W. E. Huff, the pastor, is in touch with bia congregation. We have never seen more interest manifested in the house of God, nor better order anywhere during the eight days. Walter James, from Georgia, and D. C. Williams, from Anderson, assisted In the mooting. Both preached with the power and demonstration of the spirit. Mr. Wil liams ls a young man of marked ability and preaches with great force. He has been at Furman University for two years. As soon as he com pletes his education he expects to en ?ter the evangelistic work. His ser mon on "What shall I do then with Jesus, which ls called Christ," was deep and very Impressive. Mr. Wil liams ia only nineteen years old, and has a bright future before him. We would not forget the children. Mr. Huff, the pastor, would drill them twice a day in singing. To see about fifty little girls and boys neatly dreBs. ed, singing the beautiful songs of Zion, waa enough to soften the hard est heart. We are told that Poplar Springs now has one hundred and thirty-six members on ber roll. This church baa made wonderful progress, both spiritual and material, within the last eighteen months. The people of ibis community have been very sig nally blessed within the last few days. They have bad showers of blessings, reviving the soul, and to day we had a gentle shower of rain upon the growing crops. We have that promise In the 67th Psalm. Those who Joined ibo church during the meeting will be baptized on the .'ourth Sunday morning in August. W. Host tho World Affords. "lt gives me unbounded pleasure to recommend Bucklen's Arnica Salve," says J. W. Jenkins, of Chapel Hill, N. C. "I am convinced lt's the best salve the world affords. It cured a felon on my thumb, and lt never falls to heal every sore, burn or wound to which lt ls applied." 25c. at all drug stores. Campaign Meeting.

In 1872 thole was a gr at deal of diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera In fantum. It was at this time that Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was first brought Into use. It proved more successful than any other remedy or treatment, and has for thlrty-flvo years main tained that record. From a small beginning its salo and uso has ex tended to every part of the United States and to many foreign coun tries. Nine druggists out of ton will recommend lt when their opinion is asked, although they have other medicines that pay them a greater profit. It can alv.'ays bc defended upon, even in the most severe and dangerous cases. For sale by Dr. J. W. Bell, Walhalla; W. J. Lun ney, Seneca.

GOULD IS WILLING TO WORK. Scion of Pleb Family Hunting Hard for a .lob at Pueblo Mines. Pueblo, Colo., July 27.-Kingdon Gould, son of George J. Gould, ar rived here this afternoon en route to Cripple Creek, where he will work in the mines to complete by practice the education he received at the Colum bia University School of Mines. Young Gould was accompanied by a professor of the college, who will di rect the manner and mode of his ex periments lu the Western mining cn m ns. The young man will leave Pueblo to-night, but lt ls not known whether he will go to Denver or go direct to the gold camp from Colorado Springs. He will probably spend the greater part o? a mouth at Cripple Creek. One of the coalitions under which the guide agrees to accompany King don on his Western trip was that the heir to the Gould millions would forego all the frills of his home life and "rough lt." Consequently he ls without attendants; travels in the ordinary Missouri Pacific passengei conches and takes his meals at com mon-place hotels and restaurants. Once at the mines he will don the clothes of the every-day "mucker" and go underground to work ns If hil livelihood depended on his day's la bor. And probably it will.

Five Thousand Witness I moiling. Hartwell, Ga., July 25.-Five thou sand people witnessed the unveiling pf the Confederate monumeut in the Court House square at Hartwell on Thursday. All of the survivors of the Hart county companies who/ went to the front in the early .sixties 'form ed in line and marched again to the 8oul-ln3plriug "Dixie," rendered hy the Hartwell band. They ended their march in the court house, where Con gressman William H. Howard, the popular representative In Congress from the eighth Georgia district, de livered a masterful address, which was replete with classic lore and in spiring eloquence. In a happy speech he was presented to the large gather ing by Arthur S. Richardson, Esq., a prominent member of the Hartwell har. A magnificent spread was served to the old veterans in the spacious Hor ton building, and a general love-feast and reunion was held affer the dinner hour. Miss Wilma Skelton, the at tractive and .beautiful young daugh ter of Hon. and Mrs. .ian. H. Skelton, with her maids, assembled at 12 o'clock around the magnificent monu ment, and sang several patriotic songs, after which Miss Skelton drew the strings which revealed a perfect beauty, chiseled fifo m Elbert county granite, and which'will stand as me mento of those days * which tried men's souls, and to which Hart coun ty contributed some of the flower of her young maubood. Hoy's Lffe Saved. / My little boy, four years old,' had a severe attack of dysentery. We had two physicians; both ot them gave him up. We then gave him Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and diarrhoea Remedy, which cured him, and believe saved bis life.-William H. Stroling, Carbon Hill, Ala. There is no doubt but this remedy saves (he lives of many children each year. Give it with castor oil according to the plain printed directions and a cure is certain. For sale by Dr. J. W. Be.l, Walhalla; W. J. Lunney, Seueca. Somewhat Political. (Springfield Republican.) The reversal of the decision against the Standard Oil Company, albeit a surprise to the country, was fore shadowed by the market Tuesday, when shares which fell as low as 300 in the recent panic, made the high record of $6:>0. Somebody leaked. The judges of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sev enth district are unanimous, so it is a case of three to one-Judges Gross oup, Baker and Seaman against Judge Landis. The politicians of the country were taking notice yester day and thinking over what political capital could be made out of the sit uation. If the courts are not plavlng politics, they are doing things these days likely to affect politics In the long run. Tropical Fisli in Northern Waters. (San Francisco Chronicle,) During the last few days an Im mense school of barracuda, o semi tropical fish, as well as Spanish mackerel, has appeared In the wa ters just off the ocean beach near the site of the old Cliff House. Every morning large numbers of these fish swim up to the beach at high tide and when the ebb sets In many of them, are unable to get back .to deep water and are left on the sand by the retreating waves. During the last week the residents of tho beach have been picking them up by the score every morning. The barracuda frequent the waters cf Mexico and Southern California In great num bers, but are seldom seen this far north, and the presence of this large school ls difficult to account for. It ls a fish of sliver gray, cften three or four feet in length, with a long snout and a slender body, lt ls thought that the barracuda and mackerel are driven in-shore by a school of large whalen which has been sportin.tr in the vicinity of the seal rocks for some time past. The Man to Marry. "The man I wish to marry," says a contributor to the August Design er, "is one who would, if necessary, when washday comes, roll up his sleeves and bend his back over the washtub; who would be the first to turn out on cold winter mornings and build the fires; who would be ready to walk the floor at midnight wltn a colicky baby; who would spend many of his evenings at home with me Instead of loafing around bar-rooms, street corners or other places of amu,sement, talking clap trap and politics; who does not In dulge In Intoxicants of any kind, who does not consider that he ls IT. In short, I wish to marry n mnn. As to looks and age, while they count, nevertheless they are a minor consid eration." ---- She Prnycd for Grandma. The little girl was very fond of pleasant days, and at the close of a heavy rainstorm petitioned In her prayer for fine weather; when, the next morning the sun shone bright and clear she became jubilant and told her prayer to her grandmother, who' said: "Well, dear, why can't you pray to-nlgltt that lt may be warmer to-morrow, so grandma's rheumatism will be better?" "All right. 1 will," was the quick response; and that night, a.-> rho knelt, abe said: "0 Lord, please make lt hot for grandma." -? ? <?i Parity of Whiskers, (Philadelphia Press.) In the matter of whiskers, the na tional candidates offer a delightful variety. Taft, has a moustache, Sher man wears "English sides," Kern sports the full beard, while Bryan, actor like, pr?senta a clean sahven face. When lt comes to getting the barber voto there is but small differ ence in the offerings of these rival tickets. The algebraic sum of halr sute attraction? possessed by the Re publican candidates Just about equals that of the Democratic |>alr. A Wrong 1 m pression. To the Citizens o? Providence School District.
