Ile was a member of the Bap tist Church, having joined by letter from the Hopewell Baptist Church in Anderson County. While a victim ?d' that insidious disease, consumption, that .slowly and surely was carrying him to the grave, he never lost his bright and sunny presence even to the last. While not a member ?d' any ol ?mr secret societies they have all at times aided him and his family, and done all in their power to smooth the pathway down into the "dark vnlley" by acts of charitable beneficence, as well as by personal attention to his physical needs.

Speaking of the new Twin City Power Company, which a iew days ago obtained a commission from the Secretary of State, the Augusta Chroni cle says: "The Ring Jaw Shoals property, 25 miles above Augusta, on the Savannah River, has been sold by Thomas Bar rett, Jr., and his associates to the Twin City Power Company. The sale carries with it the stipulation that the property is to be developed. "The water at this point on the river is magnifier t. Experts have testified that as ni power can be obtained there as the Augusta canal affords. The company which has purchased the holdings of Mr. Barrett and others have also secured valuable additions there in. It is said that these gentlemen propose to establish a now manufac turing town there, and it may bo that power will be transmitted to Augusta irom this plant, as this was the original purpose of Mr. Barrett in securing the property. "It is stated that one million dollars are to be invested at Ring Jaw Shoals by the Twin City Power Company." -The New OrleansTimes-Democrat, of Wednesday, publishes an elnborate report of the progress of the cotton crop during July. The concensus of opinion is that there is a distinct im provement in tho outlook. It must, however, be remembered that this com parison is made with the worst start ever known. A very large proportion of tho original increase of acreage has been abandoned, and it is quite possi ble that no net increase has occurred. Texas is probably the best situated of the States, while Mississippi is the vrerst. The A???Uo Si?ies Lavo suf fered somewhat from drought; but the j situation in this quarter hos recently been relieved to some extent by liberal showers. Louisiana/ as a whole, has a very good prospect. Arkansas is also good. The reports from Alabama and Tennessee show a marked improve ment. The situation may bo summed up in the statement that the crop is very spotted and very late. At pres ent there is no reasonable assurance of anything more than a very moderate yield.

Ag?.. Atlanta, Gn. Novel Wager on Bryan. INDIANAPOLIS, July 28.-Charles W. Bridges & Co., real estate dealers of this city, have posted a novel proposi tion of the salo of farm and city prop erty, which is practically a wager on Bryan's election. The firm announced that a farm of 240 acres, a cottage and five loti in this city, and twenty lots in the gas belt towns have been placed with them to be sold-upon the follow ing conditions: The farm property is priced atv $6,000 for 240 acres, the gas belt town lots at $125 each, the Indianapolis lots at 8600 each and the cottage at $2,200. The deeds to ali the property are tobe made out and deposited by Iii? owners with the cash paid for them. It Bryan ia elected tho ownership of the prop, er ty passes to the pardea putting up the cash and the money goes to the owners of the property. If McKinley is elected both the deeds and the cash are passed over to the person or per sons who put up the monos,. Thus the property is sold at what is claimed to be its fair cash value if Bryan ia elected, and given away if McKinley wins. The real estate firm is a respon. siblo one and declares that the oiler is made in absolutely ?rood faith. The owners of the property are Bryan men, I who are willing to back their judgment with thoir property.-New York hun. Kiev, (lol his Brains. i Niw VOKK, Aug. (>.-V.. Thiele, fourth olliccr ol'the liumburg-Ameri can liner Deutschland blew out bis brains during the voyage ol' the big ocean greyhound that was finished when the steamer reached her pier in Hoboken to-day. The second day out it was Thiel e's turn to watch ou the bridge. The air made him drowsy and he fell asleep at his post. Capt. Al hers cann; upon him, ordered him to take ort' h's :oat, the ship's budge of office, and sent him to his cabin. The young sailor went down in disgrace. Five minutes after the door closed behind him a shot was heard and when it was forced open Thiele lay on tho floor with a bullet in his head. Thiele was formerly a resident of Montgom ery, Ala. No Partition of China. NEW Yo UK, August ii.-Andrew D. White, United States ambassador to Germany, wns a passenger on board the Deutsland, which reached.her dock to-day from Hamburg. Asked what he thought of the cabled report that Kassia and Germany would declare for war conjointly against China, the ambassador said : "I think it is very likely, lioth countries have tho same cause for war and both would have a common cause for acting together." Ile did not think partition would bc made ol China and said on this sub ject : "I do not think that the Powers will divide China. The condition that meets them now is the pacification of the country. There is no talk of par tition in Germany aud I do not believe there will be any on the part of the other Powers." - mm . Mt? - Moral as Well as Political. While the subject is up for discus sion, it is pertinent to remark that thc preachers were first attacked in their alleged "unholy alliance" with the old barkeepers, and their protest at the in justice and untruth of such an un war ren ted charge is wholly in defense of their position. The regulation of the whiskey ques tion is a moral as well asa political oue, and if thc people of this day and generation do not put more religion into their politics, they will continue to sow to the winds only to reap the whirlwind in a harvest of increasing corruption and disorder.-iXetvberry Observer. - R~ach out a hand of hopefulness to the stumbling ones, and speak a word of cheer to the discouraged, j ~ ; 1 .

In her counter petition the wife alleged that her husband snored so ! ud that in the carly part of the night she could not go to sleep. Tho court granted the divorce on gencrnlprinciples, with out prejudice against either side. - They have some very curious crnn iiiiil laws in Mexico. For instance, it is twice as much of an offence to mu tilate the face of a woman ns that of a man. The law seems to be based-on the idea that a woman's best posses sion is her beauty, ami that to mar it does her a great injury. There is an other curious law. If u person should be wounded in an encounter the pun ishment to the offender is fixed by the number of days his victim has to stay in the hospital or under a doctor's caro. A line is fixed at forty days in tho way of a general division. If the injured mau occupies more than forty days in his recovery the penalty doubles up.
