of all his friends and acquaintances. He
bad many noble virtues, and was extreme?
ly generous to tbe poor and afflicted. He
served through tbe war as a member of

In the bicycle races at Augusta last Fri?
day Meeer*. Eugene Fant and Fred. Max?
well, of this city, were the champions.
Tbe Augusta Chronicle in speaking of the
races aays : "Tbe Anderson boys were the
most striking feature of the races. Max
' well, who is very fast and who is always
willing to ride, started the races eff by
riding a paced mile in 2.-23, standing start,
which beats tbe former record of tbe track
by six seconds; the record of 2.29, flying
start, was made last season by Beall, paced
by Richarde. Tbe novice was not as pret?
ty a race as it might have been, as Morris
was not in condition to stand tbe pace that
Fleming put for him. The Augusta boys
were not in condition to ride, but they
showed up very well as it was. Mr. Fant
won tbe half-mile open in a handy way,
with Richards a good close second. Tbe
time was very fast for a quarter of a mile
dirt track, and especially a square one.
Fant crossed the tape in 1:10 fiat. The
next feature of the day was a quarter of a
mile, which was won by Maxwell in
32 seconds Hit, making monkeys of
of both Fant and Morris, although Morris
made a grand Bhow. Fant and Morris bad
a game fight for second place, which was
won by Fant after a hard struggle. Then
came the last and prettiest race of tbe day,
a two-mile handicap, with Richards and
Fleming more than an eighth of a mile
ahead, bnt Richards could not stand the
pace that Fleming set for him, so dropped
out after about a mile had been run. The
race was won by Fant, with Fleming sec?
ond and Maxwell, tbe "flyer," only about
a wheel's distance to tbe rear. In this race
Maxwell showed what be was and spurted
tbe last quarteras though he had just start?
ed a quarter mile dash. Mixon brought
up the rear, but made a good race, tbe time
for the two miles from scratch was only
5.01 at an average of about 2:30 to the
mile."

Fortuna? Faber?both in morals and intel?
lect, we give their final shape to our own
characters and thus become emphatically
tbe architects of onr own fortunes. How
else could it happen, that young men who
have had the same opportunities, should
continually be presenting us with such
different results, and rushing to such op
posite destinies? Difference in talent will
not solve it, because that difference is very
often in favor of the disappointed candi?
date. You shall see issuing from tbe walls
of the same college, and sometimes from
the same family, two yonng men, of whom
the one shall be admitted to be a geniuB

point of mediocrity; yet, you shall see tbe
genius sinking and perishing in poverty,
obscurity and wretchedness, while on the
other hand you shall observe the medio?
cre plodding his slow but sure way up the
hill of life, gaining steadfast footing at
every step and mounting at length to emi?
nence and distinction, an ornament to his
family, a blessing to his country. Now

tra change in riding around on the electric
cars. They seemed to have a great time
and left last night in fine spirits.
But there was one of the party who staid
behind and when he wakes up this morn?
ing will wonder why he got behind tbe
iron bars of cell No. 5 at the police bar
racks.
When the train was about to pull out
last night this one passenger was very gay.
His name was Jack Young, and while he
was about thirty years old bis ideas were
not fully developed. Jack bad gotten
aboard a pretty good load of corn whiskey
and his spirits were at a high tension. He
got it into bis bead that he conld whip an
entire coach full of people, and so de?
clared. There were several who differed
with bim, and then Jack Young pulled a
j-tck knife and attempted to cut everyone
in reach. Finally tome one got in a neat
jib on Young's nose and ju?t then a blue
coated limb of the law entered. The tele
phone was put in use and the round
ended when the patro! wagon gong sound
ed.
Young was taken to barracks and placed
in a cell. While be was being carried
down tbe corridor be made piteous appeals
to tbe officers not to let him miss tbe
train as be wanted to go back and see his
"ma.1' As bis excursion ticket expired"
last nlgbt and the enra total found in his
pocket did not exceed tbe price of a drink,
Young will be at a 1< ss as to getting home,
esp9ci*lly if the Recorder makes it anv

? When other orops fail the watermelon
crop flourishes. The New York dealers
cannot sell their consignments, and last
Sunday there were 50,000 melons for which
no purchasers could be had. Of over?
ripe and unsound melons there were over
19,000 left to be carted to the dump at the
foot of Canal Btreet.
? A curious eight was witnessed In
Cincinnati during the fire there tbe other
day. In tbe building all tbe upper floors
were stored with peanuts, seven thousand
bags in all. As the fire ate its way into
the peanuts and burned the windows of
the building out the nuts rolled out of
the windows in a steady stream. Each
nut was blazing and they had the appear?
ance of a stream of fire balls rolling out
of the windows. The seven thousand
bags, which were a total lose, were valued
at ?3 a bag. As there were only 40,000
bags of peanuts in Cincinnati, and 120,000
in the eutire country, the loss of this stock
will affect the market.
? A writer in Current Literature thinks
that one of the triumphs of future engi?
neers will be the sinking of a shaft 12,000
to 10,000 feet into the earth, in order to
utilize the central heat of the globe. So
great a depth, it is believed, may not be
impossible for the improved machinery
of the coming scientist. Water at a tem?
perature of 200 centigrade, which will be
obtained by these deep borings, will heat
bouses and public buildings, to say noth?
ing about the power it would furnish. The
plant once paid lor, the only expense
would be tbe keeping of the pipes in good
condition. Nature would do the rest.
A Religious Prouigy,
Columbia State,
The most wonderful religious prodigy
to be found in South Carolina is now to
be found in Chernw. Her name is Clar?
etta Norah Avory, and she will be ten
years old on September 18th, but for
something less than three years she has
been doing what she calls "working for
God" amongst the membors of her own,
the negro, race.
During the post few weeks sbo has de?
veloped into a wonderful preacher, and
all who come within the sound of her
voice are amazed at her utterances.
In the very conservative section in
which she bas been working for the pa^t
two weeks there was much opposition to
her at first, because children were sup?
posed to have a "place," and especially
girl children to "be seen and not hoard."
And there existed-decided conviction that
"women should notspeak out in meeting.
Hut before she bad ended ber first sermon,
in the words of one of her auditors, the
whole cmgrogation bad come to the con?
clusion "to let God's business be as He
would have it."
Claretta Avery has been preaching in
Marlboro county for two weeks, and she
now numbers her converts among both
tbe white people and tbe negroes by the
score. At first she preached only to
negroes, but, after a few nights, her au?
diences were composed of both races, and
her simple, straightforward, practical ser?
mons appealed equally to theologian and
layman.
She was born in Washington, D. C,
ISth September, lr-35. Her father was a
minister in that city, but be died soon
after her birth, and she was taken to North
Carolina, where her mother had relatives.
When eigbtoen months old she claims to
have been converted to the Christian re?
ligion and since that time she has felt that
she was commissioned to preach tbe
Word of God to her people. Her mother
had a struggle to make a living for her?
self and her children and, up to this time,
Claretta bas been able to go to school very
little. She barely can write but she seems
to have committed the whole of the New
Testament to heart. This she bas suc?
ceeded in doing by most continually
poring over it.
Since she was three years of age she has
never let aSunday pass without attending
church, going two and three times a day
whenever she could She seemed to pre?
fer listening to the ministers of the white
people, and many a time she has been
found in the galleries of the white
churches alone and listening intently to
what was said by the preacher. Her
memory was wonderful and she is now
able to repeat a sermon, word for word,
after hearing It preached once.
Many believe that her sermons are de?
pendent entirely upon the facility with
which she remembers the productions of
others, and that she merely reproduces
them. If this be true, no one yet has
ever heard or read the originals of the
sermons she preaches.
Rev. A. J. Streator, of Society Hill, is
authority for the following:
"She preached her first sermon at Ra?
leigh, N. C. Then she went to Oxford,
N. C, where she began a series of meet?
ings in a private bouse, but the atten?
dance soon became so great that the
largest church in the town had to be en?
gaged. Here 150 persons professed reli?
gion as tbe result of her preaching.
Sandford, N. G, was her next point and
here she made 34 converts. Then to
Vass, for one day, with ten converts as
the result. Then to Wadesboro and 50
converts, and,from there to Monroe, and
there' were 39 converts. From there to
Society Hill, where she made 22 con?
verts." She is now at work at Cheraw,
S. C.
The Rev. Streator says: "She lays hold
of her text with a Herculean grasp, and
sways her audience with a gift peculiarly
divine. All who hear her are forced to
believe that God has called her to preach
the gospel. I was opposed to women
preaching until I beard this child, then I
decided to let God's business be as He
would have it."
She dresses modestly and neatly and
shows a decided distaste for all finery and
jewels of all descriptions.
The negroes throughout the whole sec?
tion in which she bas been regarded ber
with great awe, and are lavish in their
gifts to her. When she bei ieves the donor
unable to make the sacrifice she refuses
to accept tbe proffered gift. The super?
stitious attribute wonderful healing pow?
er to her and remarkable stories are told
of cures effected merely by her presence.
These stories, however, lack confirmation
and are believed only by the most credu?
lous. She claims to have no unnatural
power, but merely to be "working for
God," as she is directed. Tbe most re?
markable thing about her are her eyes,
which are very brilliant, and have a pe?
culiar cast; otherwise her features are
normal, and she would pass for an ordi?
nary nf gro girl of ten years of ago.
? The new girl baby at the White
House bas been named Marion.
? Marquis Eugene de Beauharnais,
blockade runner and financial agent of
the Confederacy, one of the most daring
adventurers of tbe age, and one upon
whose bead the United States Government
once set a reward of $80,000, is now visit?
ing San Francisco.
? The fire department, the police patrol
and messengers without number have
been summoned to a big apartment house
in Geary street, San Francisco, of late,
without cause and without being able to
find who sent in the calls. A watch was
set and a pea-green parrot, belonging to
one of tbe residents of tbe building, was
seen to perch on a call box and with his
beak turn tbe index finger round tbe dial.
First he called the police, then sent for a
coupe, and was just going to send in an
alarm of fire when he was bagged.
? Susan B. Anthony has put the much
discussed question of bloomers into a nut?
shell. She says that men are hard to
please. They protested because women's
skirts dragged on tbe ground, and now
they object because they are too high.
The simple fact of the matter is that
women will settle the question for them?
selves. If they decide to wear bloomers
there will be no-appeal from their de?
cision ; if they eschew them it will be
idle to appeal to them on hygienic or
sanitary grounds. The men will have
very little to say about it.
? The story is afloat that a company
has been formed in Milwaukee for the
purpose of constructing an elevated bi?
cycle road to Chicago. The distance is
eighty miles. The plan is to construct a
wooden elevated road sixteen feet wide
on nearly a straight line between tbe two
cities and have the termini as near tbe
business center of the cities as possible.
The toll is to be 10 cents. Its projectors
predict that 20,000 wheelmen per week
will ride over, making an income of ?2,000
a week. There will be no other vehicle
permitted on the road. It will also be rent?
ed to meets for road racing, lurnishlng a
splendid track.
