The old saying that lightning nev er strikes twice in the same place, j like many of the other -old sayings , we use to beCieve in, will have to I go. Recently the same house in j Chester Couuty was struck by light-i ning three times and last Thursday; the same tree and house in New-1 berry was struck twice within four] weeks. Thus it is,, our idols gc one by one. The Gaffney Ledger rises to re mark, a propos of the recent vote at Spartanburg, that the few who vwed to repudiate an honest debt "ought to go off somewhere and set up a town of their own. It would be in teresting to see how fast their town would grow and how soon a railroad would be built to it." A hit, a very palpable hit. and excellently done! says the Spartanburg Herald. ?Reliable statistics show that the average salary of a clergyman is less than that of a skilled mechanic, and but little above that of an unskilled laborer. One obvious remedy for this is fewer churches and clergy men. When .a community capable of adequately supporting two or three churches is called upon to help six or eight churches and their ministers as is frequently the case, it is enevi table that some of these. churches have a feeble support and their pas tors a beggarly pittance. When it suits how easy it is to credit the Almighty or to hold him responsible, as the case may be, for ?things in which he has taken no part.. Thus the mother of Johnson, the negro pize fighter, is sure that the Lord answered the prayers of negroes for his success and smiled approvingly upca him. With equal ?assurance Jeffries' father is certain that the Lord purposely let his son dose to'.'teach him a needed lesson. Most people think that the Lord had nothing to do with it,.and they are right, of course. - . The very best projects or schemes may become a nuisance if over worked. "Tag Day" was originated for the benefit of worthy causes and by its very novelty it appealed most successfully to large numbers of peor pie a id proved a boon to several de serving^ instRutions. But the plan has beeil so missued that its popu larity and useful in ess are about ov er. .Moderation in all things, espec ially in appeals for aid for benevo lent objects, results in far more good than when well meaning enthusiasts go to extremes. The term, "A simple lire." may mean one thing to one person and something very different to another. The distance in experience between those poor students, who a genera ration ago used to "cultivate the sciences on a little oatmeal" in the Scotch universities and Margaret II lington, who raves over the "simple life" she has been leading with mot or boats, autos and fast horses in her (luxurious California 0home. is about equal to the climatic and geo graphical distance between the poles and the equator. ?It has cost the State of South Carolina $1,056 to settle a personal row between Adjutant General Boyd, and his assistant Col W. T. Brock. Is it any wonder the people complain of extravagance in our State govern ment? asks the Manning Times. Gen. Boyd and Col. Urock had a Talling out. charges were made and a court ot inquiry was organized to investi gate, and what has it amounted to except to eliminate them from the campaign, and it has cost the tax payers over $1.000. uJst about $999 ?mmv than either of the men are worth to the general public. 'Many people err in thinking that the mischievous actions of boys are just so much inherent l>adness crop ping out. Generally it is very far from that, as it is but their exuber ancy of spirit expressing itself. To be sure the effect is sometimes an noying and may cause anxiety. But instead of regarding such a boy as a criminal bound to go to the dogs, and insteid of trying to repress his animal spirits, which, if successful, would be the wo.?t possible thing for him. the sensible thing is to cooperate with b?y nature and direct its fun loving propensities and ener gy in healthful ways. Tump Ellison, a New berry County .-negro, who is in jail for killing an other negro, in his testimony at the inquest over his victim disclosed the fact that he had no trouble in get ting whiskey. Here is what he said on that point: "I came to Mary Jones' house aud got a half pint of | liquor and paid 25 cents for it. I ?and Dink Kicard drank it. Gave Mart Gary same of it, and got a pint of whiskey from Tildy Mitchell and paid r>0 cents for it." A few minutes after buying his pint of whiskey he ?met his victim, who he shot and kitted with a pistol that he had stol en from him while he was asleep." That Lumber Duty. Congressman Ellerbe, who like Congressman Lever, voted with the Republicans fxw* a dut7 on lumber, Is having a -warm (time in his race for re-election and it is doubttul it tie pulls through. His opponents charge aim with deserting the Democratic party when he voted with the Re publicans to tax the people of his district on every foot of lumber they had to buy. They have pressed him so hard that he has called on Champ Clark, the democratic leader for a ....tinciiie of political character. Clark gave it to hLm, but he took good care not to endorse Ellerbe's vote with the Republicans on the lumber question. The fol'owing com ment from the Florence Times, which is in Mr. Ellerbe's district, on Mr. Lever's reception by the people in Lexington shows how it feels to wards Mr. Elierbe. Here is what J The Times says: "In this connection we might well call attention to the fact that it is said that the good people of Lexing j ton are going to swallow Hon. A. i F. Lever, republican policies and all. That may be all right if they are so fond of Mr. Lever, and he is such a nice man that we do not blame them for being so fond of him, but it is a very dangerous matter to let the representatives of a democratic people think that they can do as they please in the matter of the sup port of the policies of the opposition party in congress, the very life of the nation and the well being of the people is tied up in nhis principle, and if they like Mr.. Lever so well they should make it plain to him that they are willing to swallow him with all of his faults, but that he must Tecognize republicanism, as a fault and eschew it In the future. Then all' may be well." In the speech made by Mr. Lever on the occasion referred to by the Times, he said he had no apology to make to the Democrats who had elected him to Congress for his vote with the Republicans to tax lumber. He endeavored to justify hi3 violat ing the platform on which he was elected by saying that the duty on '.umber put $3,000,000 in the public! treasury and did not tatce a cent out of the pockets of the oeople he re presented. If this was true, Mr. Le ver would not be justified in .breaking his pledge to the Democrats of this district who elected him to congress. But the claim made by Mr. Lever 'S not true. The high price of lumber brought about by the duty on it, is causing most of the lumber made in this section to be shipped to Nor thern markets, and, the only way our own people can get it is to pay the price that lumber sells for in the big markets, minus the freights. rWe refer above, of oourse, to the lumber that is used in building hous es and such things as that, ,but it does not cover the tax that the peo ple of Mr: Lever's district have to pay because of his vote to put a duty cn lumber by a long ways. Most of our people use furnitc.e, and there is not a piece of furniture made' in ; this country that dones not cost more because of the duty on ?lum'ber than it would cost if there was no duty on lumber. This is & tax that no [ man in the district can escape. It I makes no difference whether he lives in a mansion or a cabin. Yet Mr. Lever says the tax on lumber.does not take a cent out of the pockets of the people of hEs district. If he will study the conditions a little we think he will admit that he was mis taken when'he made that statement. The duty on lumber was not put on as a revenue duty, but was put on as a -protective duty by the Repub licans with the assistance of a few Democrats. A Probable Solution. It has always been somewhat of a mystery why such once great popu lous and flourishing .".ties as Baby lon and Nineveh have uo entirely dis appeared that nothing hut weed grown ruins remain to prove that they ever existed. Inevitable changes in trade routes and lines of travel frequently cause a city to lose its commercial standing and to shrink in population, but they do not cause it to entirely disappear from the face of the earth. But the research es of Dr. Delitzsh, the emminent Ger man explorer and scientist, probably solves the mystery. He says that the average summer i.oonday temperature in the Baby lonian eVnpire was 122 and some times 149. With this intense heat flies, mosquitoes and other insects were innumerable, and a>lso diseases of all kinds were prevalent. Know ing, as we do, the close relation be tween mosquitoes, house flies and other insects with disease and epi demics, and that no attention was paid to sanitation, it is reasonable to suppose that some great plague, like that which destroyed Sennacher ib's army, swept away the popula tions of many an ancient city. In singular contrast to the lack of cleanliness and sanitation by ancient j oriental nations were the strict san-' ? jiry Ia?v3 of M;,?ts the i'likgrvancc; vi which has in.??"f? the .lews iver i>lal for their immunity from many diseases, and for their general good [health. The nearer we immitate the [old law of Moses, not only in sani tary matters, but in many other mat ters, the healthier, stronger and happier we will become as individ uals and as a nation. They are per fect in all respects, and adapted to all conditions. In a recent killing up in Newberry it is a significant fact that not one of the negroes who testified in the case, including the man who did the killing, could write, but made their marks in signing their testimony. Whether the victim could write or not we do not know, but it is some what significant that none of the others could. The Sultan of Suiu is to pay this country a long visit. This is the despotic ruler of one of the Philli pine Islands with whom the Repub lican party made a treaty a short time after the war with Spain where by slavery is recognized and pro tected by the stars and stripes.
