JULY 20, H is surprising t<? us that sonic of the Southern editors could use their papers in Baying mean things about Fighting Joe Wheeler, a niau who lin? shown by every net of his life thal he cares more, for his country than be did for wealth tl Iiis Hiv. Secretary ol War Kussel] A. Alger luis tendered bis resignation as a mein hoi of President McKinley's Cabinet, md it Las been accepted. Klihtt Koot, . d' Now York, hus been appointed his successor. The resignation ol' Seeie lary Aign is believed to have been ?ought by I he ('resident. The I'uited States governnieni has nut yet restored the postotlice al Lake City, S. C., and the good people ol that section arc being deprived ol thc mail facilities. This is au outrage, ?iud de serves thc condemnation ?>i every citi zen ol'our winde country. Il a mob ol' live or xix mon were to assassinate thu postmaster of lloston or some other PnT. rt vi ;...... f,t:t;::"?:;;Jd, ;vo;;ld ?!;; gol eminent deprive the people of that city ol' mail facilities? From present indications thu Aiuori ? an exhibit at the. Paris exposition will astonish Kuropo in thu matter ot ma chinery, whatever it may do in agricul ture and other industrial mutters. The showing of American skill in heavy mechanical ironworking will, it is said, be the most complete that America bas ever made, either at home or abroad. There will be at least 17 American loco motives on exhibition, and the exam ples of other structural work, suchas bridges, etc., will be equally extensive. The commissioners think that the me chanical department will, in its way, be quite un great, a surprise to Kurope as was tho Spanish war. Libero.), tin., is going to have a car nival. The big event takes place from August 21 to 25 inclusive. The rail roads have named an exceedingly low rat?'tor the round trip and 20,000 visi tors are expected to be in attendance. Tho program embraces many attractive features and the a Uh ir is certain to provea big success. Among tho long list of attractions appears horse racing, bicycle contests, shooting tournaments, live works display, balloon ascensions, military pageants, brass band tourna ments, baseball and tennis games. An old-fashioned Georgia barbecue and a big horseswappers' convention arc also down on the program. Distinguished oratora from all sections of the coun try will be present. Of ail classes of people, ministers of the gospel should he more cautious in the use of ext avagant expressions than any other, for it is to them the weak and the strong and tho blind and the seeing look for moderation as pointers of "the Way." Tho very immoderate declaration of Hov. Henry McDonald, of Atlanta, that "should Hob Ingersoll be arrested for preaching his doctrine on the streets of Atlanta, be would bc the first to go ou his bond," is not. taken seriously by those who know this rev erend gentleman, still it shows that the Church is constantly trying to conde scend to the world and its contamina tions instead of trying to maintain a standard of her own and insisting on tho world's recognition of that stan dard. Let tlie ministry abandon wild, hysterical ravings aud stick closely to che. truth and the cause, of the Master will be considerably advanced. -mt U> c? - Many fathers and mothers do not re alize fully, perhaps, the true value, of home study for the children. The in tt nonce, of homo training is felt in every school. Take tho boy or girl who has the proper training at home, and the teacher has no trouble with him in the school room. There may he exceptions hut certainly it is tho general rule. 1 f he is taught obedience at home, he will be respectful to the teacher. Hut thc man or woman who controls and disciplines the pupil who is unruly at home, has a very difficult task to perform. Home should teach the propriety of social life, tb?' basal principles of true etiquette, self re spect, respect for others, a fixed pur pose to brighten life for other people, manners at tho table and in the parlor. ?rn the play ground, in the church and in the recitation room. When a child is thoroughly trained at homo in tho principles above stated, its education is halt completed. How detestable is the slanderer! Hy the side ol' him the midnight assas sin might almost he permitted to go uuwhipt of justice; for this one aims the dagger only to take away human life, while that one hurls his poisonous shafts with the deliberate intent of ruining reputation and killing char acter. Wholly corrupt, he linds nothing good in others; blinded, he can not sec in any life the beautiful dowers of virtue and innocence and loveliness, and therefore insists that these do not bloom. He is never happy except when impugning the motives of others and ascribing sinis ter purposes to all their efforts. Like tho harpies in fabled story, his pres ence is nauseous, his touch polluting. Often indeed ho succeeds in turning some innocent victim's cup of life, otherwise sweet, into a bitter draught ; but there, remains tho comforting as surance that in the end his plans will go awry and his purposes fail of ac complishment. Commend us to thc man of magnanimity, though he pos sess a thousand faults, rather than to the loathsome vii liner of his kind. Pitiable, oe well as detestable, is thc narrow-minded and mean-spirited mau who capnot recognize merit nor appre ciate worth even in an enemy. In th* death of Col. Kola rt li. Inger soll, fraud loses one of it* most able advocates, nihilism its trusted apostle, and blasphemy its inspired silver ton gue. He, among all modern infidels, has sown broadcast over thc held moro of the tares of unbelief and doubt than can bc reckoned from the human point of view. He sowed a whirlwind, and he has reaped-. Ah! we can not peer beyond this "narrow vale bet ween the cold and barren peaks of two eternities. We strive in vain to look beyond the heights. We cry aloud, and the only answer is thc echo of our wailing cry. From the voiceless lips of tho unreplying dead there romes no word;" but from the depths ol' doubl ing hearts, shattered faiths and blasted hopes rises a mournful requiem for the end of the great unknowing soul. Let us hope that he may not be meted oui the harvest he ha> sown, for if the blood ami sighs of every one. from whom he struck the armor of Faith is placed ou i is now knowing head, he is sunken (??-night beneath a raging, ever restless, turgid sea ol' blood with the wailing and the weeping and the re morseful sighing ol every surging bil low. He was a plausible reasoner, yet under analysis a sophist ami a per verter, loud of mystification by spe cious arguments and magical phrases. Ile was an advocate of purity, domestic happiness, education, temperance and freedom; and the unrelenting foe of canting hypocrisy, for it was through these banes to the church's spirituality that his antagonism was directed to the whole. He was a man of master intel lect and swayed his hearers like reeds in the wind. We are told that he died as he wished, suddenly ; but wc can but think think thal his taking off was a complete disappointment to him. Hat! he lingered long before treading the sombrons shore of the Stygian Hood, be intended giving the lie, to all bis fallacious doctrines a foolish world so cager drank, and proclaim tho truth he now knows too well. The seed he sowed are still germinating. Who, then, eats say what the fruitage will be.' His doctrine, as pernicious as the loathed intemperance he so strongly denounced, to quote his own words, "Hums up men, consumes women, de tests life, ?-Urses <iod ami despises heaven, lt brings shame, not honor; terror, not safety; despair, not hope; misery, not happiness; and with the malevolence ?d' a fiend it calmly sur veys its frightful desolation, and un satisfied with its havoc, it ruins morals, 'slays reputation, and wipes out national honors, then ?MUSCS the world and laughs at its ruin." Holland's Store. Crops aro needing ruin badly. Our farmers have about ceased cultivation and are waiting and hoping for a wet spell. Thc health ?d' our community is good now. We bad a walk a new days ago over the farm of Mr. Chas M. Findley. Mr. Findley bought a piece of bottom land on Mountain Creek, thought at the time hy many to be almost worthless, ns it was too wet oven for a pasture. A cow could not walk through it with 'safety. To-day he has it all dry and between 25 and 80 acres of as lino corn ns ?iver grows in this country, and will make something like 40 or 50 bushels per acre. This shows what can be done in this old county when backed by judgment and pluck. If you think wc have strained or prevaricated just do as we did, g?i and look. Mr. Findley will take pleasure in showing you over his farm. A very interesting inee'tingof several days closed at Mountain Creek Inst Sunday. The pastor, Kev. Mr. Cope land, did tho preaching. Much inter est was manifested, thc preaching faithful and pointed, and while thc ingathering wa? not large, we believe the seed sown will hiing forth in due season. Mrs. Josie Dobbins, ?d' Luvoniu, fia., is staying with her sister, Mrs. Holland. Kerry Holland, who has been in La vonia, lia., for thc past six months, is at homo spending some time with his mother's family.

The crops arc suffering very much at this writing, and unless they got rain iii a few days will doubtless "go up/' The health of our people is very good at present, except several of Mr. J. A.
