It will be easier to nominate Judge Parker than to elect him. County Treasurer Spigener of Eichland county has issued 8,000 exe cutions against delinquents for poll tax._ The Darlington News says that the Hon. "Jeems" Norton will run against Congressman Scarboro in the Sixth district this summer. James Lipscomb, a young colored man, died of hydrophobia near Gaffney on Tuesday. He was bitten by a mad dog about two months ago. When Special Judge Geo. E. Prince reached Saluda last week ' to hold an extra term of court he found only two cases ready for trial. Loomis Gilliam shot and killed Sang Jeter at Carlisle on Thursday with a pistol. He claims accident, but the circumstances do not sustain that view. The Clarksville, Ga., Register man has discovered that "lies travel by express while truth is generally carried by freight, and often ditched at the first watering place." The Atlanta Constitution says "it is the same old situation 'as goes New York, so goes the Union.' ~ And there is a Democrat in New York who can beat Teddy in a walk." Trot him out. There is no reason why any Demo crat should not vote for Judge Parker if he is nominated. The Judge has always been a Democrat and never bolted the party nomination in any election. / The mikado of Japan has nine wives. Old Doctor Smith, of Utah, can point to this polygamous situation and ask why American sympathy is so ardent for the Japaness cause, to . say nothing of Japanese heathenry. Mr. R. H. Covar, who has been fore man of The Patriot for several years, business manager and has been made associate editor of that journal. We congrat ulate our cotemporary in secur ing Mr. Covar's services in an enlarged capacity. One of those agricultural depart ment experts with a bulging forehead has figured it out that the price of beef is high because the beef trust has ^meat to sell. That reason ought to i satisfy and reconcile us to the high price of beef. We are glad to know that Gov. Heyws.rd will have no opposition. He has made a good chief magistrate, and would beat any one who ran against him, but still it is gratifying to his friends for him to be re-elected without opposition. We agree with the Commoner that ?vthe platform must be Democratic, and the candidates must be men who may be depended upon to enforce the platform if they are elected. The people have wearied of straddling, evassion and desertion. ' John Ripley, a prominent farmer of the Trenton section, was run into on Saturday night by a train on the Cumberland Gap road and was killed. He was driving across the track. The horse escaped unhurt and the buggy was onlv slithtlv damaged. Harriet Green recovered a verdict for $700 in the circuit court in Char leston on Friday against the Western Union Telegraph company as dam ages for "mental anguish" because the company failed to deliver a message, to her announcing the death of her father in Philadelphia. General Miles insists that the country's safety lies in a revival of patriotism and the triumph of the Prohibition party. Wbile we think the General is more than half right, we are convinced that there are many citizens who never feel patriotic ex cept when they are jagged. TwENTY-four persons, including some of the most prominent citizens, in Charleston were arrested on Friday night for riding on the pavements without a light and they were all taken to the guard house in the "Black Maria"--some of them pro testing strenuously against the in dignity. Small fines were imposed. Bishop Brown on the Negro. Boston was horrified a few days ago by an address' on the negro there by the Rev. William M. Brown, Bishop ..f ?;?<> Pn,|m'r..r>r TEnfaf?"'?.1 Hhurnti nf Arkansas. It was delivered at the Diocesan House before a small audi ence, composed mainly of Episcopal clergymen, but its publication made it widely read, and caused a profound sensation because of the speaker's se vere indictment of the negro, in which he went much further than any of the recent speakers on the subject. The News and Courier of Wednesday says ,Bishop Brown could see no redemp tion in the negro, and found him not I only deteriorating morally, but phys ically, destitute of pride of race and I of virtue. He declared the course of , the Republican party in dealing with the oegro a blunder and a crime, , which had not only brought trouble 1 and disaster to the white people of the South, but had done the negroes themselves even greater harm. As a result of this policy the race bad de teriorated and today stood below what it was in the days of slavery. "The Southern negro, though in creasing in numbers so rapidly, is not improving morally and intellectual ly,"he said. "On the contrary, he has unquestionably deteriorated In i these respects since emancipation. The typical negro in the black belts of the South today is morally and in tellectually inferior to the negro of ante beilum days. Speaking gener ally, the temporal and moral condi tion of tho Southern negro is almost incredibly deplorable. I have slowly reached the conclusion that the negro race as a whole is almost hopelessly degraded. I am convinced that no one who has not been in the black belts of the South can have any real con ception of the physical, intellectual and spiritual state of tbis most unfor tunate people." Bishop Brown went to the extreme length of excusing and palliating lynching for criminal assault, and warned his auditors that it would not do "for Northerners who live in glass houses to throw stones at the people of the South," and said in proportion to the colored population there were as many negroes executed in the great State of Ohio during the last twenty five years as in Arkansas. There was much more of the same character. It is easy to conceive of the man ner in which Boston received these views, so heterodox to its own negro phile sentiment; and Bishop Brown came in for savage abuse as "a South ern bourbon," and the South for en tertaining such sentiments. On these points, however, the an swer of the Bishop must have been somewhat of a surprise and shock to his New England auditors., "I am not a Southerner," he said, "but was born and brought up in the North and was never South of the Ohio River previous to 18G8, when 1 went to Ar kansas as Bishop coadjutor. My fa ther died fighting in the cause of free dom. I am a Republican and have always been one. I have never voted the Democratic ticket aud probably never shall. But I do not vote the Repulblican ticket in the South, and for the present 1 shall not vote at all." This explanation puts an end to any abuse of the South bec;i/u.ce of Bishop Brown's utterances, although he per sonally continues to receive the most severe denunciation; bht it may probably give some of his denouncers an opportunity to ponder over the surprising fact that the Northerner who moves South and-has a chance to study the negro at clcse range drops his home views in-a very short time, although he may not go as far in the other the negro question. Bishop Brown is rich and independent. The Mormon Church. The Smoot investigation has brought the Mormon church and its revolting practices prominently before the public, and many people are evincing an extraordinary interest in the origin and growth of a "religion'1 which permits of a gross violation of the lawfc of social purity. The dis gusting1 revelations which were a feature of the senatorial investigation have caused many to ask: "When and how did this festering sore first take root in a Christian country? Why is it permitted to remain here, spread ing Its foul contagion among the youth of our country?" Those who have made a study of the history of the Mormon church in America tell us that in the year 1823 "the angel Mormon" appeared to an individual known as Joseph Smith, and told him j that a record written on gold plates, i giving an account of the ancient in habitants of America, would be found in the earth near Manchester, N. Y. These plates, it is claimed, were found in 1827 and "placed in the hands of Smith by an angel." The three wit nesses who are said to have been pres ent at the delivery of the plates after wards quarreled with Smith and de clared that whole story was an infam ous lie! The plates in question were supposed to be inscribed with hiero glyphics in a language which Smith claimed was "Reformed Egyptian." From tbis the text book of Mormon was dictated, and therein were placed the odious doctrines which permitted the practice of polygamy under the i name of religion. This, in substance j is the story of the origin of the Book of Mormon. Men of Smith's caliber eagerly seized at the ODDortunitv to indulge in vice without fear of legal punishment, and the Mormon church spread iis luathsume 'lemuiia with as tonishiug rapidity. It is possible that its growth would have continued un interrupted had this government never been called upon to look into the moral scourge which afflicted Utah. From an optimistic puiut of view it may be believed that the days of Mormon ism are numbered. The safety and purity of the Christian home call for the speedy extermina tion of the hydra-headed monster. The English Language. No one can say how many words there are in the English language, because there are so many words of doubtful standing, says The Spring field Republican. The ordinary En glish vocabulary may be said to con tain from 30.000 to 50,000 words, the latter estimate being large. No single writer of literature has used so many as the lower number named. Shake speare, whose vocabulary is larger than that cf any other English poet unless it be Browning, used about 15,000 words, while Milton, whose range was narrower, employed only about half that number. The com mon estimate of the average vocabu lary of educated people is from 5,000 to 6,000, but in this case the number of words which are known but not used is enormously increased. A well read college graduate should be fami liar with perhaps 10,0?? wurui, while in the course of a year he might not use 5,000 of them in his writting or conversation. Shorthand reporters find about 2,500 word signs and contrac tions ample for representing the words which are commonly used in public speaking. Horrible Revelation. Dante, in all his weird wanderings through Hell and Purgatory, saw nothing more horrible than'are cer tain social conditions now being un earthed in Philadelp'i .xCCvUutof which we publish thin week. As Rev. T. B. Gregory says there is but one word that can be applied to the news coming to us from the City of Brotherly Love?it is appalling in its supgestiveness of the awful depths t" which some human nature can sink! Little innocents gathered up like so much rubbish a*ud cast, alive, iuvu a roaring furnace. Murder?not as a "fine art," but in all its shocking, unblushing brutality and heartless ness! O Humanity, Humanity!?how vile, how devilish thou canst some times be! For the immolation of the innocents is but the effect of a cause and that cause is the unspeakable de pravity and wickedness of somp mpn and women in Philadelphia. And what shall a fairly decent persons think of the keepers of the hells in which the little ones are consumed, of the phy sicians who conspire with those keep ers and of men and women who place the babes in the hands of the fiends, knowing perfectly well the terrible destiny that awaits them? Sunday School Conv? ntion. The twenty-seventh annual State convention of the State Sunday School Association will be held in Columbia, May 2-1, in the Washington Street Methodist church. The program of the meeting will be announced later. A number of distinguished speakers who have given much thought to the work and risen high in this branch of church work will deliver addresses at the convention, and all preachers. Sunday school superintendents and teachers are urged to be present. Among those who will attend the con vention will be B. W. Spilman of North Carolina, who is recognized everywhere as one of the brightest and ablest Sunday school experts. The railroads will grant the usual re duced fares, and the members who ' attend will be the guests of the Capi tal City- Wm. E. Pelham of New berry, chairman of the State execu tive committee, is anxious that all preachers and superintendents will bring the convention to the attention of the members of their respective Sunday schools, in order that the at tendance may be as large as possible and a creditable recognition of the great work being done by the asso ciation. Kural Delivery Carriers. There has been a large number of requests for information regarding that provision in the postofflce appro priation bill affecting rural free deliv ery carriers. The exact wording of this provision follows: "On and after July 1, 1904, letter carriers of the rural free delivery service shall receive a salary not exceeding $720 per annum, and no other or fuller allowance of salary shall be made to said carriers; and on and after said date said carriers shall not solicit business or receive orders of any kind for any person, firm, or corporation, and shall not, during their hours of employment, carry any merchandise for hire: "Provided, That said car riers may carry merchandise for hire for and upon the request of patrons residing upon their respective routes, whenever the same shall not interfere with the proper discharge of their official duties, and under such regula tions as the postmaster general may prescribe." There was much discus ion before this provision was finally agreed upon, but it is understood that the senate will approve, and it is I likely to become law in its present j form. The house conferees will insist upon this bein^riunc, if necessary. Tke largest single engine used at the St. Louis exposition will be an 8,000 horse-power steam turbine ? the largest yet In use. The largest steam engine in t.h?> Paris exposition was 4,000 horsepower. Church Notes.

Robinson. Notice. 4j>100 WILL BE GIVEN FOR A *ip receipt of a remedy that will do more for stock than J. M. Way's Horse and Cat tle Powders and Worm Tab lets. It is a powerful remedy yet harmless and mild. It acts on the kidneys, purities the blood; loosens up the hide, causes them to digest their food and rids them of holts, grubs and all other worms of different species that stock is plagued with. It tones up and vigorates the animal, and causes them to gain in flesh from 2 to 4 pounds per day. I advise all stock owners to keep a supply on hand and give it to their stock. Thtre is no risk in doing so. It has been t horoughly tested and will do all I claim it to do. Only .*i?c for the first ten day's treat ment, and it costs very little after the first ten days to keep your stock in good condition. ?< This is an honest compound, com posed of 9 different medicines. Some our forefathers used with great re sults, and other newly discovered rem edies added; which makes it beyond a doubt the best on the market. J. M.
