AMerSc??, Gl., May 5.?For resist? ance to the will of God a prominent citi? zen near Andersonville ia under trial. It is a Church trial, and the Church 19 located just five miles above Anderson ville. The Church is of the Hardshell Bap? tist denomination, and the accused is a well-to-do and well-known gentleman living at Andersonville. The charge preferred against him is putting lightning rods on his house, thus seeking to interfere, as they construe it, with the will of God. The Times, in telling the story, says that Mr. J. J. Dukes has scores of friends in Americns and all this section. He is a man of ability and has made quite a Buccess in farming. Not long since he had a neat home built, and had it fitted np in a nice and comfortable manner. As is usual, he had hardly completed his building before the irrepressible light? ning rod agent put in his appearance, and with suave manner and smooth lan? guage brought forth the countless rea? sons why protection should be sought from the electrical element. Mr. Dukes finally decided to accept the offer and soon had the little steel points reaching out from the house. He has for years been a member in good standing of the Hardehell Church just north of this place, and after having the work done continued to attend faith? fully services and perform his duties as a member. His co-workers in the Church, however, viewed with great concern the heretical performance above mentioned, and many of the good sisters and breth? ren argued with him to have the rods re? moved. The watchful pastor talked and prayed with the wanderer from hin flock, but all to no purpose. Mr. Dukes couldn't see the harm and the rods remained. Finally the matter had gone as far as the Church, as a body, could permit, and a meeting was held to discuss it They sent committee after committee to the wayward brother, but all to no purpose, and then it was decided to make a test oi the matter. A committee was sent to him a short time since, to inform him that early in May he would be tried by the Church for going contrary to the doc? trine he professed. In this cose they, hold that the will of God has been interfered with, and thus the brother has done an action for which he must answer to the Church. The Man With a S aspic ion. ' It was a general Southern store, run by a white man, but a very mean, small store and stock, says the Chicago Post, and the owner was an onery looking specimen oi humanity. I had gone in to get out oi the rain, and found him all alone. After some conversation he turned to me with. ? "Stranger, do yon drink whiskey ?" "No, sir." "Thought yon didn't. Do you know good whiskey when you see it?" "Yes." "Beckoned so. Can you tell a good article from a bad one ?" . "I think so." "Could you tell common good stufi from pizen?" "I believe I could." * > "Well, now, I want you to do me a tarn. I bought me a barrel of 'Old Kentucky' last fall. Party fair demand for whiskey among the niggers aronnd yer, and of co'se I watered it?made about fo' barrels out of one." "That's regular in this .country ?" "Of co'se it is, bat the whiskey got low, the roads was bad, and 1 filled op the barrel, dropped in some acid and other stuff, and kept on Belling; got some left yet. Niggers kind o' hemmed and hawed over it, and the demand kind o' fell off a little, but there's a little sum thin' doin' all the time." "Well ?" "Well, there's bin a heap o' sickness among the niggers since I begun to put oat that whisky, and Biz or seven have turned up their toes for good. I've been Bort o' wonderin' whether it was the whiskey or this climate, and I wish you'd take a nip and give me your opinion." He brought some in a mug. Ic didn't look or smell like whiskey, and the sip I I took burned like boiling water. It was stuff which might be warranted to kill a lifelong tramp at sixty yards through a hill. "I think it is the whisky, as you call it," I said as soon as I could speak. "Forsaah?" "Yes." "Well, as I said, I've had a suspicion that way fur two or three months, but wanted to be suah. I reckon you are right, and after this I won't Bell to a sickly or weakly nigger at all, and charge the others double price to discourage 'em. Good fair profit on whiskey, but I shan't do any trade if these niggers keep turnin' out to two funerals a day. ? Patent medicines differ?One has reasonableness, another has not. One has reputation?another has not. One has confidence, born of success?another has only "hopes." Don't take it for granted that all patent medicines are alike. They are not. Let the years of uninterrupted success and the tens of thousands of cured and happy men and women, place Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription on the side of the comparison to which they be? long. And there isn't a State or Territo? ry, no?nor hardly a country in the world, whether its people realize it or not, bat have men and women in them that're happier because of their discovery and its effects. Think of this in health. Think of this in sickness. And then think whether you can afford to make the trial if the makers can afford to take the risk to give your money back, as they do, if they do not benefit or cure you. ? Bran or ground feed is beat fed to cows upon moistened bay. It being mixed with the hay, all will be eaten together and raised and masticated. But if it is not fed with cut hay, it Bhould be fed dry and in a small quanti? ty each time, for if fed alone it is not raised and re masticated, but goes on to the third and fourth stomachs. If fed in slop it is swalloped without any mastication, and mixed with little or no saliv8, but if fed dry it cannot be swallowed until mixed with saliva, and the saliva assists in digestion. When food is masticated, the act of rumination causes the saliva to flow and mix with food- We have experimented, and find that when fed alone, dry ground feed is better digeBted than when wet.?Mvc Census Studies. Some interesting resultB may be ob? tained by examining the returns of the last census for South Carolina, and com? paring the population totals of the differ? ent Counties. The movements and growth of the white population are the foremost subjects for consideration. As yet there is no evidence of the long expected trend of white population from the upper to the lower Counties, and the coast region shows badly in comparison with the mountain section. In the ten years from 1880 to 1890 the white popu? lation of Barnwell only increased 157, of Beaufort, 121, of Charleston and Berke? ley together 1,206, of Georgetown 554, of Hampton 521, and of Williamsburg 1,492; while the increase of negroes was, for Barnwell 4,599, for Beaufort 3,821, for Berkely and Charleston 11,098, for Georgetown 691, for Hampton 1,284 and for Williamsburg 2,173. On the other hand, the white popula? tion of Anderson had increased 6,327, i and the negro population 3,657, the whites of Greenvillo 4,388, and the ne? groes 2,425, the whites and negroes of Oconee, 1,686 and 744, respectively, the whiteB of Pickens 1,521, and the negroes 479, the whiteB of Spartanburg 10,357, and the negroes 4,617. These are strong contrasts. They in? dicate that the movement of white as well as black population from one section of the State to another is not large, and that the whites multiply moat rapidly in the white Counties and the negroes most rapidly in the negro CountieB. Addi? tional evidence of the fact that in Coun? ties with white majorities the whites maintain their ratio of increase over the negroes, without regard to inter-County movements of population, may be fonnd in the cases of three middle and low country Counties with white majorities Chesterfield, Lexington and Horry. In Chesterfield the gain in whites has been 1,400 and in blacfcs 718, Lexington has gained 2,609 whites to 1,008 negroes, and Horry, that exceptional coast County, shows an increase of 3,007 whites to 675 negroes. This uniform gain of whites in the one section and negroes in the other must continue until the stream of white immi? gration shall happily set in. Then there will be a revolution in many Counties. Spartanburg Bhows the largest increase in total population (14,972) and in white population (10,357.) In that County the gain in white population is eight times as great as in Berkely and Charleston combined. Anderson's increase of whites (6,327) is the next highest. Then come Greenville with 4,388, York with 4,005, Horry with 3,007, Orangeburg with 2,643, and Lexington with 2,609. Berkely and Charleston together lead in colored increase, with an aggregate of .11,098, Richland follows with 5,606, Orangeburg with 5,355, Sumter with 4,826, Spartanburg with 4,617, Barnwell with 4,599, York with 4,113 and Abbe? ville with 4,090. Eichland gaiuB 8,246 in total popula? tion, being only exceeded by Spartanburg and Anderson, and by Berkeley and Charleston together, bnt not by either separately. In white increase, Bichland is only exceeded by six Counties, and in colored increase by Berkeley and Charleston combined. With regard to the total increase of population, white and black, the adjoin? ing Counties of Bichland, Orangeburg, Sumter and Lexington hold very credit? able positions. While the relative increase in the races in the greater part of South Carolina is not very satisfactory, there is nothiug for the whites to be alarmed at. They are not losing ground. They have only to ^hold the fort," and signal vigorously for the reinforcements which are sure to come, sooner or later.?Columbia Slate. .

A great deal is being written and said now about a third party and parties iu general. There are some of the Alliance loaders who seem anxious to make out of tk'e Alliance a third political party, but bo far as the South is concerned this agita? tion is destined to failure. The plea put up is that if the demands and needs of the farmers and laboring classes can't be ob? tained through either one of the old par? ties, then a third party is the necessary thing. There is no room in South Caro? lina for a third party, and in our peculiar condition it would be suicidal for the white people to split and attempt a third party. For the farmers of the South to unite with the West in the formation of a third party will not work. The interests of the two sections, agriculturally speak? ing, are not common. The principal crop of the one ia cotton, while the staple crop of the other is the cereals, and each sec? tion is going to be actuated by that which will benefit it most. Han is a selfish an? imal by nature, and he is going to look after his own. One of the chief arguments of some of the leaders of the Alliance who are try? ing to form this great party is that the farmers of all sections are brothers with the same aims and that they must get to? gether and make this great party. The State, in a recent editorial, puts this ques? tion strongly and truthfully when it says that "dissensions are inevitable among the members of the different sections. The Southern Allianceman who imagines that his Western brother sympathizes with him in his desire to bold cotton for a rise is badly posted on human nature. The Western Allianceman who thinks that his Southern brother will help him to 'corner' wheat is deceived."?Newberry News and Herald, CHILD BIRTH ? ? ? ? ? ? MADE EASY!

Prompted by his well known kindness of heart, he drew np to the sidewalk, and accosting the stranger asked him if he would like to be driven home. With drunken gravity the man took of his hat and said he was entirely unfamiliar with the city, and if he could be carried to the Ryan he would greatly appreciate it. On being assisted to the rotunda of the hotel he presented his card and insisted on knowing the name of his benefactor. "Oh, that's all right," said the citizen, "anybody would be glad to be of service to a stranger." "But you must tell me," persisted the man, "I want to know to whom I am in? debted." "Well, if that's the case, just give the credit to St. Paul," replied the bashful rescuer. The inebriated man grasped his hand gratefully, and with a choky utterance, said: "I'm?many times obliged to you, Mr. St. Paul. Would you?confer?one more favor?
