the liver, the fortressa of the fari's. Ytou
may have the head filled with all intellectu

ciation, and the moth" with all elque.ce
and the hand with all 'tnu'tries aua the
heart with all generosities, and 'yeit mtd
strike through the liver.
First, let Christian people avoti i the roi
take that they are all wron; wit Gd h,~'e
cause they suffer from depres->~iot of s''rits.
Many a consecrated man has found his '.pi
itual sky befogged and his hope of haven
blotted out and himself plunged chin deep in
the slough of despond, and has said: \lMy
heart is not right with God. and 1i t1.uk 1
must have made a mistake, and instead cft
being a child of light I am a childio dark-I
ness. No one can feel as gloomy as i fee.l
and be a Christian." And he has g.one to
his minister for consolation, and he has co
lected Flavel's books. and Cecifs books, and
Baxter's books, and read and read and
read, and prayed and prayed and prayed,
and wept and wept and wept, and groaned
and groaned and groaned. M1y brother,
your trouble is not with the heart. It is a
gastric disorder or a rebellion of the liver.
You need a physician more than you do a
clergyman, it is not sin that blots out your
hope of heaven, but bile. It not only yellows
your eyeballs, and furs your tongue, and
makes your head ache, but swoops upon
your soul in dejections and forebodings. Thej
devil is after you. H e has f'ailed to dispoil
your character, and he does the next best
thing for him-he ruffles your peace of mind.
When he says that you are not a forgiven
soul, when he says you are not right with
God, when he says that you will never get
to heaven, he lies. If you are in Christ, your
are just as sure of heaven as thoug.h you
were there already. list satan. find ing that
he annot keep you out of the protmised land
of Canaan, he determined that the spies shall
not bri~ng you any of the Eschol grapes before
hand and that you shall have nothing but
prickly pear-and crabapple. You are jus.t
as much a Christian now under the cloud as~
you were when you were accustomed to rise
in the morning at .5 o'clock to pray and .'n'

My friend Rey. Dr. Joseph F. Jones cs'
Philadelphia, a translated spirit now, wrote
a book entitled "Man, Moral and Physical."
in which he shows how different the samne
things may appear to different people. lie
says: "After the great battle on the Mincio
in 1859 between the French and th eSardin-t
ians on the one side and the Austrians on
the other, so disastrous to the latter. the de
feated army retreated, followed by the vie
tors. A description of the march cf each
army is given by two correspoondentsa of the.
London Times, one of whom? trave'e wi4
the successful host, the other with the de.-1
feated. The difference in vie mrs a tate

Texas, is for protection on wool; Rob

on sugar; Swatnson, of Virginia, and
McLaurin, oL South Carolina, are for
protection c-u cotton." It is reedless
to say that all these gentlemen in the
pecedig con~gress were more or less
pronounced in denuncoiation of Repub

again to more than refer to the prac

WEEKLY B-JLLETiN OF THE STATE
WEA THER BUREAU
Aus I-saed Last Week by Director Bauer.
Ioformstion of Value to Thos.e Interest
e d in Farmivg Operations1.
The following is the weekly bulletin
of the condition of the weather and
crops in this State issued last week by
State Observer Bauer:
TEMPERATURE.
The temperature was about normal
during the week with warm nights un
til near- the close when they became
unusually cool for the season. The
weekly mean for the State deduced
from temperature records at 57 places,
was 72, and the normal for the week
is approximately 71. Highest temper -
ature for the week was 94 at Cheraw
and Ne w Zion on 15th ; lowest 50 on
the 11th at Liberty.
RAINFALL.
Much Deeded and i n places heavy
rain fell during the week, over the
entire State, in the form of showers
generally. In Lexington, Kershaw
and Union lands were washed out in
places. In Colleton, Dorchester,
Hampton, and in scattered localities
over the State the rain was inadequate
and more would prove beneficial, but
generally there was enough raIn for
the present need of growing vegeta
tion, as nine measurements of less
than half an inch were reprted, 11
from 0 50h to 1 00; 27 from ito 2inches,
ard 6 ove r to inches. The greatest
weekly measurement was 2.40 at Ha
good; least 0 53 at Clemson college.
Average for tihe State 1.15, and the
weekly normal is approximately 0.90
of an inch.
Tnere was about an average of sun
shine. The winds were iight. Hail
fell at r places, but no damage re
sulte d.
cnoPS
The week showed a marked improve
ment in erop conditions under the
combined inflsence of seasonable
warmth and generally sufcient mois
ture.
All crps, bZoth staple and minor,
tre up to a good average condition.
Farm work is as far advanced as usual,
Iexcept in isolated sections, and fields
are generally well cultivated and free
frowm grass and weeds.
Corn shows improvement both in
stand and color, and is growing welL
The recent rains quickened germina
tion and stands, altough irregular as
Po size, are genrally good, except that
En betom lands cut and heart worms
have been very; destructive, necessi
toting much replaning, in some in
stances the second and thlr:. time.
Worms have been unusually numer
ous over the etire State. Planting
continues and reports indicate a con
siderable arei yet to plant. Fields
are weli cu ltivatd and cean. Chinch
ugs are attacking corn in the north
central countirs.
Considerable oj the cotton which it
was believed necessary to replant,
came up after the recent rains and
stands are consequently more promis
ic, altbough irreular as to siz. Its
color has iLnprove d but little, and the
cool nights at the close of the
week checked the growth of
the plant pomewbat. Chopping to
stands is progressiug siowly and is
nowhere much motre than Miat finished
and over the western counties or~y
fairly begun. The crop is ieported
clean, except in Pickens and Kershaw,
where fields ar-e bscorinog grassy.
Somec reports indicate perfect stands,
and many only fair, with sp )ts that
are very poo?. On the whole, the
plant is in a gocd average condition
for tbe season. Warm weather would
help cotton.
Oats are ripening ia the southeast
ern counties; their condition is gener
ally more promising, cue to the recent
rains. Wheat also made marked im
provement, although :tke straW prom
ises to be short. Some o nplaits of
rust are an pearmne.
Tobacso' is about all transplanted
and growing riicey.
Rice planting i; practically finished
and late sown is co-niug up well. The
cool nights of the latter part of the
week checked its growth somewhat,
but it is nevertheless in fine condition..
Melons are not doing~ well in Birn
well; the plants not .o iing well
and the seedl d;d r.oL germrinate well.
Pastures have improved very much
except where raiaal was too light.
Blackberries promnise to be exceeding
1y pleztiful. G~ardens fre..ened won
de rfully. Truek improved and prac
ically made by the Late rains. Irish
:rtatues doing better. but C.>krado
tral counties. Sorgbu'o cane seed
very scarce in places. Frm labor
reported plentiful. Sweet potato
dr.:s doing well and many set out .n
the lo~ver pjortions of the State.
r-m the national bulletin of May
1(0: " Cotton has not made favorable
pro'gress over the central and eastern
orions of the cotton belt, tne *eath
er being t.oo cool. aua conplaints of
in jry by insects and bad stands being
quite general, w~ i1- rain is needed in
somre secticas. la Texas the crop has
improved gernerally.
A Family EZurdered.
William H Hamtilton, a contractor,
his wife, Mrs. CatLarine~ Hamilton,
nis son, Lee Hamilton, aged 19, and
his daughter, EiizabeLe Hague Hamil
torn, aged 1ti, were murcered near
Helena. Mont , t b:ee weeks ago, and
the cri'Le was sur-pressed in order to
enable the Montana authorities to
trace the murderers. Mr. and Mrs.
damilton were found dead in bed,
with their throats cut. Miss Hamil
ton was also dead in bed with her
throat cut and many bruises on her
cody. Lee Hamilton had evidently
made a diesperate fizht. His body
was liter-ali~y ecvered with wounds.
All the fin ges of his right nand were
severed, showiag that he had grasped
the rozr or- 'nife. His throat was
also cuar Footorints near the house
showed that two men were concerned
in the mmrders
