The Campaign meeting at this
~place bids fair to be of great interest.
Charges have been published against
Governor Evans and he expects
Senator Irby to. spring the charges
here before a* Clarendon audience.
The people should be here and we
can assure them that they will be
amply repaid for the trip. .G. Walt
Whitman is opposing General El
lerbe for governor, and Gen. John L.
McLaurin is being opposed by Rail
road Commissioner WV. D. Evans for
Congress. This will be the opening
meetiug and big fun and fine speeches
can be looked for. Come everybody
on the 22nd. Next Monday is the
day.
Elsewhere will be seen a numer
ously signed paper asking for a
meeting of those interested in the
Manning cemetery. We hope this
call will be heeded and we would
urge upon, not only those whose
names are attached to the call, but
everybody to interest themselves in
this matter.
Friends, we would not wish to ap
pear a chronic growler, but we must
say that the neglected condition of
the Manning cemetery is a sad corn
mentary on the charity of the people
of this place. Aside from charity, are
our people not aware that they owe a
duty to the dead? The living can take
care of themselves, and show to each
other those marks of respect which
are pleasing to mankind, but not so
with the dead. The tokens of respect,
lovre and affection to the dead must
come from the living and it. is a re
ligous duty that it be done. Let
everybody interested in the cemetery
assist in making the "city of our dead"
a monument of love.

PACKSVILLE POINTERS.
Packsville, June 9.-We have been
blessed with nice seasons lately, and
cotton and corn crops are looking
tne.
Children's Day exercises were held
in the Methodist church Sunday
night. The church was filled to its
utmost capacity, and the children did
extremely well. We look upon the
occasion as a grand success. The
superintendant, Mr. W. A. Broadwvay,
with the assistance of Miss Jessie
urtis and Mr. S. R. Cole, certainly
deserve great credit for the way
these little Sunday-school scholars1
Lave been trained.
Mrs. Henrietta Plowden, wife of
>ur esteemed citizen, J. A. Plowden,
hed at her home very suddenly
Eriday, of heart failure. Rev. C. M.
Billings conducted the funeral service

conducted at calvary church.
RELIGIOUS THOUGHTS.
BY REV. J. O. GOUGII, MIANNINE, S. C.
WE BELIEVE
The 'Journal and Messenger" has
a few words of great importance to
say about those who are "Ignorant of
the bible."
"Boys and girls, young men and j
young women of to-day are amazing
ly ignorant of the bible. And vetI
we are in an age of such Sunday
school work as was never known be
fore. We have given more attention
to Sunday-school work during the
past twenty-five years than during
the preceding fifty years. We have
conventions, institutes, sociee ies,
rings, schemes, and plans, all claim
ing to teach the bible to the young.
And yet with it all they tell us that
the young are growinz up without a
knowledge of the bible. Look a! the
"helps" turned out weekl and
monthly, pictures, diagrams, papers,
quarterlies, books, illustrious ser
mons, all claiming to teach the
young. And yet with all these new
schemes and organizations and sys
tems, unknown to our fathers, there
is a falling off, or an immense cloud
of ignorance hanging over our young.
If these new plans and schemes do
not succeed in teaching the young,
then let us return to the old way,
the bible and church."
No plan or scheme has ever yet
put a thrust into the bosom of any
young man for the study of God's
word; and %-here any one reads the
bible because his society enjoins it
upon him and not because his own
heart longs for the "Bread of Life,"
he fails to receive the blessings. God
blesses those who lead from a pure
motive to know more of God and his
will to men.
The "Ram's Horu" says that "one
of the most ominous signus of the
times is the great lack of scriptural
knowledge in our laud. There is a
greater lack of biblical knowledge in
our land than in any other Chris'ian
country. In the land of Luther the
Bible is known far better than here.
In England the common people know
the Holy Book, while in Scotland the
peasant is as familiar with the Bible
as the preacher. But here in Amer
ica the masses are fatally unacquaint
ed with the sacred scriptures, and
the evil is growing worse every day."
Sunday-school singing is a very
important item. Good singing is
one of the essentials in a successful
school. Where the singing never
drags is where the soul is stirred by
the music. Every school should pajy
the utmost attention to the mnusic of
the school. Bring in the instruments
and breathe the breath of life into
your school.
The largest Sunday-school in the
United States is the Bethany school!
in Philadelphia, with John Wana
maker as superintendent. The at
tendance on a recent Sunday was
three thousand eight hundred. Wan
anaker himself has a class of about
one thousand twvo hundired, and yet
he keeps in the closest touch of each
one. Over each ten he has a tithemian
appointed to look after them,and over
every ten tithemen is one to
whow the tithemen shall report;
these hand in their reports to differ
ent superintendauts who bring ever-y
|thing before the eyes of Wanamaker.
By this plan he learns about all sick
ness, death, affliction and poverty,
and to all he sends immediately his
aid and sympathy.
When the Sunday school teacher
becomes so chai-ged with the tr-uth
and spirit of the lesson, there will be
few indifferent pupils, and when the
Bible is given the right-of-way in our
schools and colleges there will be less
cranks in doctrine.
Give the Bible a fair chance in any
community and "the wilderness will
blossom as the rose."
When the word of God gets into
the pulpit and into the preacher the
congregation wvill sing the song of
victory.
The Southern Baptist Convention
passed1 resolutions recommendingr
Baptist churches to exclude from
their membership all who wer-e whis
key dealers. That is, all who sold it
and all who drank it and all who
manufactured it and wvho allowed
whiskey sold in a building owvned by
a meumber- of the church. These res
olutions are str-ong and if carried out
by the chur-ches wvould play havoe
with the churches and denomiina
tion. Yet we see the gr-eat need of
churches raising a higher staudard
of Christian living.
We hope to see a large congr-ega
tion at the Baptist church next Sun
lay. A ver-y imnporntant meeting will
be held.
The Baptist preacher will preach a
sermon about "the crucifixion" nexti
Sunday morning.
God loves a cheerful giver,one who
gives Him the praise due His great
name, andl the means to car-ry on his
work in the world, and one who gives
is heat to God as a living sacrifice.

S)IAL)GUE BETWEEN A .BANK

Banker. Did voU receive notice
.hat the interest on the mortgage on
cour farm is overdue nearly a month,
in(d th.at the bank has strict orders
to foreelose the mortgage iinle:s thec'
interest is promptly paid ?
Farmer. I received notice, and I
have been trying fo the init two
im(nltlis to se'll someting t. gel. w -
ey to i; that , iitcre. . 1 :ave .:pom
good horses, which I. could have sold
a year or two ago for a fair pric
but now I can't gi"e tll(Il away. I
had to sell my wheat Crop to Ipay ti
help i hired and to pay for fr iizer
used in raising the wheat. ThaIr iat to
all I could get fo th1 o 1( wheat.i
diln't have :a cent left for any other
lurpose. I h:ad tenl ver liue mitch
cows. I sold five of the'in last fall to
pay my taxes, which were the only
things I could sell, and I hal to let
the buyers pick the best of them.
This deprived m,,e of thy little m ione

DL.lmh1r. D). ,o know wat imakcs
all this troibe ?
Frme1'Zr. No, I (do 1no1.
1) ki'. W1ll, I w"ii tell yOu.
'There are ., hot fsilyer faaaties in
this country who are treing to de
stroy contidence aid compel the gov
ernment to coin lifty ceot dollars for
the beneit of silver miners. That is
what is the mat fer. That is why the
bank has orders to forelose your
mortgage if you don't pay the inter
est. I am told on good authority
that you went to a silver meeting last
month and voted for a resolution in
favor of the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.
If that is true, you ought to be sold
out. \Whv, you ought to be sold out
and sent to prison should you attempt
to defraud innocent and honest cred
itors who loan imiOney on fariis for
the sole benefit of the farmer.
Farmer. That is pretty hard. I
was told by a man we all think a
great deal of, Judge Jones, that the
United States anl all the world made
ioney wit ('f bo:b gold and silverI
until 1873, and when th1ey made
money out of both the metals nionev
was pleutier than it is now. I know
it was plentier, because I bought my
farm on cedit, and went in deft for
the whole of it, and pail for it in
eight years from what I raised on the
farm. \ly wife and myself hal to
work pretty hard, but ive paid every
thing up and were out of debt twen
ty years algi. The money tiuat I had
to borrow was to pay taxes and to
senld my children to schoo!. I
tho1-ht when I b,: rowed the ienoti
good t;imeCs wo iuiild coIrC auani, and I
could pay Ofi the debt just as I paid
fr n farm, but 1 find that money is
gettiug scarcer all the time, and it is
impossible now for me to sell any
thing off my farm and pa'. this inter
est, mauch less to pay the prlincipal.
Banker.- Trhat is all your own
fault. Complaining about the just
laws of Congress and the policy of a
just gove'frnent. It desirovs confi
dence and makes times hard. Makes
the honest creditors want their
tmeyey.
Famer. But thrtIl me money-~
is growing dearer than it was.
Danker. That is nonsense. The
value of money depends Upou1 what
it is wale of, not the quantity. Take
for ex:unle a greenbcack. It is mnade
out of a piartienhtri kind of paper. If
you should mnake the silitest varia
tiou of the paper the greenback
wouldn't be worth .j cent. It is the
pape~fr thait maikes' thei greet back
good.
Farmer. W\here does the govern
ment get the paper?
Banker. Tihe government buys it
of a particular firm, which makes it
in a particular kind of waly, in a par
1 ienlarly shaped room. The slightest
variation in thle shapa of the room
will dest roy the unn ey. 'I he trouble
witn vou is vou ihaveu't stihed and
dlon't understaind the benevolent dei
signs iof the government in making a
paper of that particular kind.
F"armer. Does the government
have to pay an ex:ra price for the
paper ?
Danker. Oh, yes, the pairties w.ho
make this paper have grownv enor
mously rieb, becinse the outside
world don't kniov th secret of mak
ing the samo .1ied of paperi. They~
don't know hio wich de-ponds upon

Famier. Suppose there were on~ly

'ouln't a dollar be worth more

Baniker. Not at all. The doilar
epends entirely upon the color, and
the color it is a 100-cent dollar. If
is wvhite it is a50-cen; dollar. These
mc londamaenta p.;r;nie ,,pon I
shiclh our hankers do business.
arm:e. I cannot contend with
coni baniers. because you will take
my i~trmi away from me if I do and I
woul d rather die than to lose my
farm. My wife and myself have
workdc too hard and too long on the
farm o give it up now.
Sit'er. Yes, but you are trying to
Sindile the banks by asking for .a
la-. tLha will enable you to pay in
ja 1 ch monev as such old fools as
J A erson and Jackson used to make
iriaic they discovered that it the
o; ey: was white it would ruin man
Li d.
F armer. I am a Democrat and I
tuought Jefferson and Jackson were
good men and great patriots.
Banker. It is all a mistake. They
were both silver fauatics and if they
were alive now they would make us
a great deal of trouble.
Farmer. What am I to do, then?
Must you foreclose if I can't sell any
thing to pay the interest?
Banker. Yes; unless you can give
inure security.
Farmer. I have no other security
to give. Do you want to take any
iiing On my farm?
Banker. No; that is perihable
property and no security for anything.
Youur wife's father died abcut six
ionths ago, didn't he?
Farmer. Yes.
Banker. He left your wife a town
lot, didn't he, in our village?
Farmer. Yes; but that is all my
poor wife has got.
Banker. How much is it worth?
Farmer. Well, it would have sold
for $1,000 two years ago. They say
that we might get $250 for it now if
we could find a buyer.
Banker. Two hundred and fifty
dollars?
Farmer. Yes.
Balker. Well, the interest on your
mortgage to the first of the month is
$50 and it will be $50 more on the
first of January next. That will make
$100. If you and your wife will give
a mo tgage on her lot as security for
tihe$100,1 will do you a great favor. I
will take a mortgage on the lot for
$125 with 10 per cent interest and
credit you on the mortgage for $100
interest. That will make you easy,
and by that time the elections will be
over, a sound money man will be
elected President, confidence will be
restored, and you will be able to pay
up both mortgages.
Farmer. My wife's father told her
never to sell or encumber that lot. It
has got a little house on it, and he
told her if we lost our farm we would
have a place to go. I hate very much
to make the proposition to the old
vomaul. It seems hard.
Unker. But you know you voted
for that damnable resolution to re
store the imfamous laws of those old
rascals, Jefferson and Jackson and
other silver cranks, and youi and your
wifc will have to suffer for it some. I
wiii do the best I can for you. I am
your friend. But I must add one
condition if I accommodate you this
time. You mustn't go to any more
silver meetings or associate with sil
ver cranks, because if I ever hear of
your associating wiW those wicked
people and don't have the money at
the very day, tha bank will have to
foreclose.
Farmer. Your conditions are very
hard.
Bauker. Yes, but they are just,
they are honorable, they are sound.
Justice is justice. That is all I ask,
besides I want you to understand I
am doing you a great, favor in making
this of'er and you must let me know
by to-iuorrow nmoon what you will do
about it. because the attorneys of the
bank have their regular meeting with
us on to-morrow afternoon to take
charge of such foreclosures as we find
it necessary to make.
Farmer. Just one word more.
Banker. Nothing nmore. I have
nothing further to say. Good-day.

BASE BALL AT SUMMERTON.
Suminerton Nine Caine Out Six
Ahe-Ld-"I K" Gets There With
H is Sweater,.So Does-Pat
and His Bloomers.
Suntiuerton, June 16.-Well, I
guess your base ballists have ac
countel to you fully by this time the
manv reasons and circumstances
which combined to give them a
thrasing ou last Friday. That's
natura!; I have been whipped at it,
too. But really it wat hard on our
sister town to get such a drubbing.
Both teams were a little out of trim
and Summerton had to pick up two
men, one from the 3rd nine who had
not yet cooled off from the previous
game.
The only unpleasant feature of the
game was this: Manning objected to
Suninmerton taking on a man to fill a
vacancy, simply because at a game
played some two years ago, this man,
who was then playing regularly with
Summerton, had a dispute with a
Manning player. The man in qoes
tion was out of practice and had a
sore thumb to boot. Summerton had
as much :ight to object to the Mau
niug p!aver as vice versa. But that is
nut our boys' plan. We play who
ever comntes, and beat them, too.
The score was a disgrace to both
nines and it will not be named here,
but will simply say that our boys
came out six ahead. At one time the
Summerton nine got badly rattled
and were whipped, but they recov
ered and gave the rattles to the other
side.
H. M. McCollum and W. S. Rich
bourg c. mne to Summerton's rescue
at the critical moment. As each
went to the bat the bases were full.
They cleaned them up and scored
themselves.
If Manning would take a rib from
Galloway and Pat and put in the
other players the nine would play
better.
The last play made was a hot one
and fitting conclusion, Joe Cantey
catching a hot liner at short from
McLeod's bat.
A running catch by Galloway in
in centre field was the prettiest play
wade.
"Coot" Thames on first was a ver
itable snap-turtle.
"I K" Appelt and his sweater ! but
that is not what the Summerton
rooters called it.
Pat McLeod and his bloomers!
Who would have thought that Pat
would become so hen-pecked as to
have a compromise on bloomers!
Among the visitors from Manning
we noticed hisses Sallie Stukes,
Mellie and Lizzie Nelson, Measrs.
Conyers Horton, Horton Rigby, Ed
gar Dickson and Walter Harvia.
The crops are all growing nicely
now and everybody is laying by corn.
The cool nights are putting honey
and lice on the catton. Everybody
is reporting blooms on their cotton.
Mrs. Isaac Ingram, of Smtnter, re
turned home on .Saturday after a
visit to her sister, Mrs. B. M. Badger.
Miss Lula Badger will leave for a
visit to relatives in Sumter and Barn
well to-morrow.
Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Keller, of Or
angeburg, spent last week ~at Dr.
Burgess's. Mr. Keller was over for a
week's fishing at Prince's pond.
Rev. Mr. Watson has gone down
to your city to-day..
Rev. Mr. Connors, the new Baptist
minister, delivered his first sermon
on Sunday. He created a fine im
pression on the people and we wish
him a long and pleasant stay among
us.
