The* Connecticut prea>oher who from his pulpit thanked 0 od that the frost had destroyed the apple blossoms be? cause this would destroy the apple crop and would benefit the cause of temperance by eliminating the possi? bility of han* cider, attracted atten? tion. He could probably have attain? ed proinineuce in no other way. The New York preacher who declar? ed that selfishness was baok of the uptown movement of churches in the metropolis and that there is real dan? ger in the desire of ministers to seek fashionable localities, attracted atten? tion because the truth of his utteran? ces struck home. When Commander Booth, of the Salvation Army, warned his followers against the dangers of prosperity and admonished them that their duty was to 1 'go lower/' he attracted attention and demonstrated his rare common sense* The gentleman who has assumed the leadership of the anti-cider cru? sade can do no harm and deserves mention simply as one of the unique specimens of the age ; the other two are, however, men of convictions and of the courage to express therm Rev. E. S. Holloway is pastor of the Thirty-third street Baptist Church in New York. At a recent oonferenoe of ministers of his denomination he re? plied to the suggestion of critics that *fthe religion of Jesus Christ is on trial," by stating that the true ques? tion is "are we ministers a failure ?" He said that the tendency of the churches to-day to seek fashionable localities is due to the desire of the ministers 'to find wealthy congrega? tions and to get into society. Some of his fellow ministers were not par? ticularly pleased with his remarks., "but," said he, "where is the true spirit of religion, if we do not take our position beside the poor, the lowly and the needy?those whose bouIs hunger for moral food, as their bodies often lack physical nourishment ?!!. On the same line wera-4ho remarks of Commander Booth. The ocoasion for them was the inauguration of the handsome new headquarters of the army during the recent jubilee. In prosperity he seemed to see danger. His appeal to his people was not to "come up higher," but to "go down -lower.'"' The mission of his army, he said, was to carry the gospel into the slums, to lift the fallen and' succor the needy. The commander showed Kis broad common sense when he ut? tered that warning. It is easy enough to find reformers at the top. As long as the army follows its leader's advice and sticks to its mission, it will merit the admiration of everybody ; aspira tions to shine in other fields will mean defeat and destruction. There is the spirit of the gospel of Jesus of Nazareth in the words of Rev. Mr. Holloway and Commander Booth.?Atlanta Constitution.

Thomas Jefferson used to mention with especial gratitude two services for which he kept his father?who died when the lad was but fourteen years old?affectionately in mind through life. The father sent the boy early to a classical school, and.on hie dying bed gave definite directions for the continuance of the lad's colle? giate education. These counsels were carried out with diligence and devotion, and Thomas Jefferson felt throughout his career that he owed to his father's foresight and wisdom the privileges) opportunities and fruitage which a thorough collegiate training involves. Therptner help which his fatherjiad given hitn was the inheritance of a large estate, which lifted him above the lot of poverty. When, however, Jefferson "compared, in middle and later life, the advantages and bless? ings of these two benefactions received as gifts from his father's generous heart and discerning brain, he was not at a loss to discriminate between their relative values. He counted his classical education, he often declared, worth more than his patrimonial acres. The incident may stand as a type of the principle that the father Who gives his children a good education confers upon them a boon more precious than silver or gold. Next to positive re? ligious example and influence in the home the greatest blessing the parents can confer upon their children is a Sood education. The interest which efferson took in education began in childhood and ceased only when he oeased to breathe. The nation owes much to him for varied services to the republic in its youth; and especially it needs to keep in mind the work which that illustrious man did for classical and scientific culture in his own commonwealth by founding a great institution?of learning. When he came to write his epitaph he indi? cated in it what his-own sense of the relative worth of his public service was when he expressed his wish that the obelisk over his tomb should bear the inscription: "Here was buried Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of the American Indepen^ denoe, of the statute of Virginia for religious freedom, and father of the University of Virginia." Tiw First LncomotivH E'nglnter'. In this day of railroads and in this country which has more miles of rail? road than all the rest of the world it is hard to realize that only a few days ago the man died who held the throt? tle of-the first, steam locomotive on its first trip. Ralph Swinburn was that man, and he died only last week in his ninety first year at his home near Charleston, West Virginia. Swinburn was born at Newcastle-on-the-Tyne in January, 1805, the son of a miner and a fellow workman of "George Stephenson, the inventor of the locomotive. When Stephenson left the mine and set up the shop in which he perfected the lo-1 comotive he took young Swinburn with him as an apprentice, and the latter saw the efforts which led to the first locomotive. On the trial trip of the machine that was to revolutionize the commerce of the world. Young Swinburn sat in the cab with Stephenson, held the throttle and helped the great inventor throughout the entire experiment. He said not long before his death : "It was the proudest day of my life, for I felt that we were inaugurating an industrial revolution." Swinburn, like Stephenson, was a man of rare modesty and never boasted of his con? nection with the history of the loco? motive. It was hard to draw him out on that subject, and he never spoke of it except as an ordinary performance of duty. He came to this country in 1850, landing in New Orleans, and soon af? terwards moving to Richmond, Va., where he was employed in the con? struction of the Virginia Central Rail? road, which afterwards became the main line of the Chesapeake & Ohio system. He was an active railroad man until twenty-five years ago when he went to farming, and about the same time he became a Baptist minis? ter. He lived much longer than he expected, for he said when he left rail? road work that he knew he would soon "rust out." He was a model citizen, and died with the respect and esteem of all who knew him. The death of this good old man in the midst of our hurly-burly railroad age shows how fast things have moved since George Stephenson and Ralph Swinburn ran the first locomotive ever built.?Atlanta Journal. Cost of Weekly Papers. The whole case is clearly and co? gently put by the Yorkville, S. C, Enquirer, whose editor and owner, Mr. L. M. Grist, is one of the most experienced publishers of county newspapers in all this country, and one who among them is recognized as an authority. Here is what he says : "'The Columbia Register announces a raise in the price of its weekly edi? tion from one to two dollars a year, and makes the statement that to fur? nish the paper at one dollar a year is equivalent to giving it away. We are not surprised at this new step on the part of the Register. The fact is, that it is just what we have been look? ing for all along. It is possible, in the more intelligent and thickly set? tled white sections of the North and West, to publish a first class weekly paper for one dollar ; but in this sec? tion the feat cannot be accomplished. The reasons are obvious. The popu? lation is too sparse, and there is too great a percentage of ignorant people who do not read. Say that the ex? pense of publishing a first class news? paper at $30 a week. It is a pretty sorry paper that cost3 much less than that. If there was only one sub? scriber, the price of the paper would have to be $50 to inBure expenses. Two subscribers would reduce the cost to $25 each, and it would take 1,000 subscribers to reduce the cost to five cents each. The county paper in this State that manages to secure as many as 1,000 paid subscribers?and of course that is the only kind that helps to liquidate expenses?is doing a re? markably good business. The Colum? bia Register, with the whole State for its field, claims only 3,000 subscribers at $1 each, and at that rate can hard? ly make a living. Taking everything ?advertising and all into considera? tion?when the average Southern weekly reduces its price below $2 a year, it is getting pretty near the dead? line. In our opinion $2 is a reasona? bly fair price ; but to make both ends meet, it takes pretty lively hustling even at that." ? He that eometh to want through laziness, doth not deserve pity. ? At Greenville, N. C, a short time ago a man and wife disagreed. The breach between them widened, until a separation was effected on a cash basis, the consideration being $400 cash paid the husband by the wife for him to leave and never return, except to get his household effects. Papers were signed and he left. Re? turning a few days thereafter for his goods, his wife's heart softened toward him. But he was'firm. Negotiations for him to remain were opened, and the result was that he demanded and received $500 in cash not to leave as per contract. He didn't leave any more, and $900 is right good money for one week.?Atlanta Constitution, I Divisibility or Time. Napoleon, who knew the value of time, remarked that it was the quarter hours that won battles. The value of minutes has often been recognized, and anyone watching a railway clerk handing out tickets and change during the last few minutes available must have been struck with how much could be done in those short portions of time. At the appointed hour the train starts, and by and by is carrying pas? sengers at the rate of 60 miles an hour. In a second you are carried 29 yards. In one twenty-ninth of a second you are carried over one yard. Now* one yard is quite an appreciable distance, but one twenty-ninth of a second is a period which cannot be appreciated. Yet, it is when we come to planetary and stellar motions that the notion of the infinite divisibility of time dawns upon us in a new light. It would seem that no portions of time, however microscopic, are unavailable. Nature can pcrforn prodgies, not certainly in less than no time, but in portions of it so minute as to be altogether incon? ceivable. The earth revolves on her axis in 24 hours. At the equator her circum? ference is 25,000 miles. Hence, in that part of the earth a person is car? ried eastward at the rate of 500 yards per second: That is, he is moving over a yard, whose length is conceivable in the period of one-five-hundred-and ninth part of a second, of Which We can have no conception at all. But, more, the arbital motion of the earth around the sun causes the former to perform a revolution of nearly 600, 000,000 miles in a year, or somewhat less than 70,000 miles an hour, which is more than 1,000 miles a minute. Here, then, one second carries us the long distance of about 19 miles. The mighty ball thus flies about a mile in the nineteenth part of a second?Good Words. I ^ ^JSlffp and- Insomnia. Sleep is a greater mystery than in? somnia. We hear much of the latter state in these days. But it is more wonderful that we sleep so well than that we are occasionally wakeful. We hear more of sleeplessness than our forefathers did. It is a remarkable fact that in scarcely any of the older text-books of practice of physic is there any formal notice of it.. jamia ?per se. In later works, and especially in those devoted to treatment, the subject of insomnia does receive con? siderable attention. And every now and again the sleeplessness of a great I man in the world of science or in that of politics reminds us that 'eminence has its troubles, and of a sort which seldom affects the poor man. It is probable that this evil of wake fulness is more common than it used to be. The excitements and especial? ly the worries of life multiply. Many of the arrangements of society are of a nature to drive away sleep. Even the very pleasures of life are so taken by many as to rob them of one of the greatest pleasures of all?an eight hours' sound sleep ; for the best phy? sicians maintain that this is what everybody should aim at. It may seem a long time to spend a third of one's life in sleep. But if the other two-thirds are used well, there is little cause for blame. No rule for all can be laid down ; but it would be well for most people in the intensive days in which we live to devote eight hours to the cultivation of the mood and act of sleep, and to resist the domination of habits and fashions that are incon? sistent with this purpose. The Railroad Hog A ;trailroad hog," the other day, piled the space next to him in a car seat with his bundles, and when a gentleman asked him if anyone was to occupy it, replied that the bundles be? longed to a man who was temporarily in the smoking car. "All right," said the gentleman, "I will sit in the seat till he comes," and he proceeded to remove the bun? dles. Pretty 60on the owner of the bun? dles arrived at his destination, and he started to gather up his effects. But the gentleman at once put a veto on this, with the remark: "You can't take these bundles ; you yourself said they belonged to a man in the smoker." The fellow got mad and abusive ; but the gentleman was inexorable. Finally the conductor was called in, who delivered his dictum as follows : "If the bundles are not claimed by any one on the train, then, by coming around to the depot to-morrow and identifying them satisfactorily, we will give them to you." The man'B face was red with rage ; but he could do nothing. So, amid the laughter of the passengers, he rushed out of the car just as the train was pulling out. And he meekly came around to the depot for his bun? dles the next day. ? Mrs. Anna Collins, of Troy, Teun., is probably the oldest woman in the United States. She was born in Robertson County, Tcnn., April 7? 1783, and is therefore in her 108th year. Her husband, Francis Collins, was born March 11, 1791, and came from South Carolina to West Tennes? see. He was one of the most noted methodist evangelists that was ever in the South. It is said of him that in one of his revival meetings such en? thusiasm was manifested that there were in two weeks 845 conversions and 456 accessions to the Church. Five children were born to Francis and Anna Collins, two of whom are still living, the eldest being a man of three score and six years. She has used tobacco constantly for fifty-five years, and is as strong to-day as most women at the ase of 45. ? "When a married man buttons his suspenders on eightpenuy nails it is Sure evidence that he has been disap? pointed in love. ? Rev. Granleaf Lee, pastor of the colored Baptist Church at Double Springs, Ala., died peculiarly at the morning services Sunday. He was preaching a sermon on death and wrought himself into a state of great excitement. He had just uttered the words "Death is the inevitable end of man" when he fell over and died in a few minutes, with his awe-struck parishioners about him. His sudden demise was caused by the rupture of a blood vessel, the result of his spiritual frenzy. ? Mr. J. B Jones, of Dublin, has an unique way of obtaining choice honey from bin bees. He makes stands similar to the old style box gums with a partition or bead in the middle. On this he sets quart and half-gallon jars with a bole under each one lor the bees to crawl up into the jars. The Jars are coverod so the bees can work in the dark. The beos go up into the glass jars and fill each with the finest of honey. They are then taken off, sealed and kept for use. By this means the honey czn be always kept fresh and new, and never becomes rancid, as it does by packingaway in the ordinary manner. ? That is a very instructive and in? teresting bulletin which has just been issued from the census bureau. It deals with the working people, and largely with the working women, of the United States. In 1890 there were nearly 4,000,000 women and girls among the class called wage earners. Their number had in Creased in ten years over 1,200,000 or more than 40 per cent. In the various branches of trade the ipcrease in female employees was 263 per cent. This is due to the natural utilization of women as accoun? tants, cashiers, clerks, stenographers, typewriters and the like. During tbe same period the number engaged in the professions showed a great increase, in many instances the percentage of increase being far larger for women than for men. ? In a newspaper interview last week Senator Tillman strongly intimated that Judge Simonton was bribed by the whis? key men to decide against the whiskey law. Tbe Senator knows full well that the charge is false, and by making it be lowers himself in the estimation of all decent people regardless of party or fac? tional differences. There is not a lawyer of note in the State who does not agree with Judge Simonton in his clear cut, forcible and irresistible reasoning against that feature of the dispensary law which conflicts with the national Inter-State commerce laws. Judges are not above criticism, but to impugn their motives without good grounds is contemptible and inexcusable in any one and especially so in tbe case of a man of Senator Ti 11 1 man's intelligence and position.?Lan? caster Review. ? "The receipts from the privilege tax on fertilizers," it is officially reported from Columbia, "have about closed and a comparative statement of tbe income [ for this year and last year will show the decrease in the amount of fertilizers used. Last year the receipts from the privilege tax amounted to ?43,423 88, whilo for tbe Eresent year, with very little more to be eard from, the total receipts have been $20,864.42. It is expected that the total receipts for this year will be little more than ?30,000." The cotton acreage in South Carolina, as reported from Wash? ington, has not been materially reduced. The reduction in the use of fertilizer, however, as is seen, is nearly 33 per cent. This will certaiuly effect a very large reduction in the cotton crop, notwith? standing tbe acreage, and perhaps tbe the usual acreage has been planted with this fact in view. To cut down both tbe acreage and tbe use of fertilizer materially would mean little more than half a crop, and the farmers are hardly prepared for so radical a change. ? At Madison Ga., a young man who is a well-known clerk, and amateur ton sorial artist and a practical joker as well, has brought the wrath of a young man from tbe country down npon bis shaven head by one of bis pranks. Last Saturday this friend of bis walked into tbe store in which be is clerking and asked him to clip his hair for him. Having a new pair of clippers, the clerk readily assented, and soon had the pate of his rural friend almost as clean and sleek as a peeled onion. The happy thought occurred to the young artist, however, while cutting the locks of his friend, to leave a space on tbe top of his bead round and about tbe size of a quarter. Uuaware of this fact, I the young man whose hair had been cut some hours later pulled off his hat to show his wife bow well his hair had been cut, when to his chagrin and amazement she discovered the "scalp lock" which bad been left. Livid with rage, tbe young farmer sought tbe young gentleman who bad played the joke npon him, and hot words passed between them, but friends prevented a fight. And now the young man from tbe country swears vengeance against his former friend. When they do meet there is likely to be trouble, as each bus blood in bis eye. ? In Banks county, Ga., a party of young raon secured a hollow log and in olosed the end with a raw hide, drum? like, and then parsed through a strip of leather. When adjusted, this musical instrument made sounds as hideous as a menaaerle of wild anima's, and could be heard a long distance. Tbe young men commenced operations in one section and then moved to another, until the entire county became fully persuaded that tigers, lions, bears, hyenas and all the wild beasts of Africa and Asia had es? caped and were roaming in tbe bay galls and pine woods of that long-staple coun? ty. Tbe boys added to the excitement by narrating marvelous encounters they severally bad with the varmint. No one dared to venture out alone; tbe doors wero barricaded, churches unattended, stores wero without customers, and when tbe neighbors ventured forth they were in crowds, and all well armed. The ex citemont was Increased by a certain highly respected local preacher riding furiously up to the postoffice and excitedly an? nouncing that he had encountered the hideous monster, a veritable Bengal tiger, and only by bis courage and the swiftness of his horso did ho narrowly escape. Many ether highly respected citizens saw tho terrible animal?one in a certain skirt of woods, another at the railroad culvert, another in the graveyard, on a tombstone; one swore ho saw him in the church grove, aud many asserted that they had met the striped animal face to face in tbe road, and that he was as big as a horse. If ever there was a terror stricken com m unity it wlj that of the county of Banks. But the luoys foolishly let the cat out of the bag. Tt cas too much for the preach? er and those who had seen the beast. The good man and his fellow braves swore out warrants, had the boys arrested and lodged in jail; but they were soon re? leased, with slight punishment. SHOES! THE YATES SHOE CO.

MAX CRAYTON, Assent, formerly with Gofsett & Bro^n I One on Fifzhngli Lee. Apropos of Lee of Virginia, a story which General Fitzhugh Leo told on himself several years ago is a good illustration of the love the Confeder? ate soldiers bore General Robert E. Lee. As is well known, General Fitz? hugh Lee was at the head of the cav? alry, who were much envied by the in? fantry men, who had to walk through the mud and dust. After General Robert E. hec had surrendered. General Fitzhugh Lee rode away from Appomattox. While riding through a lane lie met an old North Carolina soldier. "Ilo there!" cried General Lee. "Where arc you going ?"' "I've been off on a furlough, and am now going back to join General Bob Lee," replied the old soldier. "l'ou needn't go back, but can throw your gun away and return home, for Lee's surrendered." "Lee's surrendered ?" "That's what I said," replied Gen? eral Lee. "It must have been that d-d Fitz Lee, then," he cried. "Bob Lee would never surrender," and the sol? dier put on a look of contempt and walked on. Corpse Wasn't Spoiled. Charlotte, N.

It is said that Mr. Kittelle's assign? ment was precipitated by a sensation which developed last Friday night, when a number of the guests left the hotel. The cause of the sensation was the charge that the ice upon which the body of tho late Charles Johnston Was placed was afterwards used in icing the tea and water for the guests of the hotel. It was claimed that a rubber sheet was between the ice and the body and the ice was as pure as any that could have been used. But the fact of it having once been Used in cooling a corpse was more than the guests could stand and they were not slow to raise trouble. Mr. Kit telle came to Charlotte from the north. During his proprietorship of the Buford he was a model landlord in all respects and kept an excellent hotel. ? A Bridgeport (Conn.) clergyman recently preached a sermon in which he thanked God that there had been frost enough to destroy tho apple blossoms in that section, and trusted that it would also destroy every apple blossom throughout the length and breadth of the land. This would destroy the apple ^ op, be argued, and consequently there would be no cider, and the cause of temperance would be benefited.
