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.
