i if I AT THE MISSION LAST NIUIIT. t'nllirr O’.sulllvii* Makes an Klmjiient Ad dress and Answers the Questions Propounded. Promptly at 8 o’clock last night the Catholic church was crowded with an attentive audience and the services were opened by Father Laypock, the pastor, with prayer. Father O’Sullivan took up the questions from the question box and the following interesting answers were given: 1. Give scriptural reasons for prayer for the dead. Ans I am called to give a rea son for Catholic doctrine accord ing to protestaut rule of faith ; we Catholics do not admit this rule. We hold that revelation is known from tradition as well as scripture. We hold that we can give a text from scripture, “It is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be loosed from their sins.”—2 Maoc. XII. 2. Why do Catholics burn caudles on the altar during ser-' vices? Ans. 1st. To remind them that Christ was the light of the world. 2. To recall the fact that Catholics in early ages had to worship at the Catacombs. 3. Why are all Catholic ser vices in Latin? Ans. All Catholic services are not in Latin e. g. preaching and prayer. To typify the unity of the church. 4. Please explain .why Cathol ics bow when they go to church? Ans. Catholics not only bow but kneel on entering the church because our Lord is present at the Blessed Sacrament. 5. Suppose a man believe in the Catholic church but does not Join it, can he be saved? Ans. He cannot be saved be cause he is not in good faith. 6. Why .do you believe that the Catholic church is the only true church of God? Ans. Because the Catholic church and the Catholic church alone possesses the four marks, viz: unity, Catholicity, holiness and priesthood, by which the true cnurch of Christ can be known. 7. Why do Catholics worship idols? Ans. 1. They don’t. We keep statues in the church to remind us of Christ and his saints. Do Americans worship statues of Geo. Washington, Lee, etc? Services at the mission this morning were as follows: Communion at 5.30 and 7 o’clock. This afternoon at 5 o’clock the services will be con eluded and Father O’Sullivan will will leave for Mobile, Ala.

TennsyIvaniu Ka' roarl Taxed to Supply Can, for lacreasiuK Grain Traffic. Philadelphia, Aug. 18.—A high official of the Pennsylvania Rail road company said to-day that business is showing a material in crease and that the company is taxed to its utmost to furnish the cars, owing to the heavy grain movement which is now coming east. W’hile there is not a car famine, there is a scarcity of cars, and that those that have been in- storage are now being utilized. The greatest demand is for box cars and for coal cars. Most of the box cars are used for carrying gra<n. This business is eastbound, but the cars are being returned fully loaded with general merchan dise. The railroad oflicials say that to all appearances a general boom has set in and tie compa 1- ies are being taxed to move their I e v business. The Reading comnany also re ports better business not only in freight but in passengers as well. This company is doing an immense business in anthracite coal trade, as well as securing a large amount of grain yhich is being loaded on vessels at Port Richmond. It is stated that rates are being better maintained and that there is no inclination on the partpf the lines that are members of the Joint Traflic association to cut prices. Senator McLaurin Better. (News bud Courier.) •*' Columbia, 8. C., Aug. 18.—A special to the State from Beu- nettsville, says: Senator McLau rin is better to-day. He had too much company yesterday, conse quently had a backset. His phy sician has forbidden his seeing any more company at present and II is resting easier to-day. Getting in Their Work. (From the Atlanta Journal.) The impetus given to the forma tion of trusts, of the tightening of their grip, since the passage of the Diugley tariff, shows very plainly one of the evil effects of the act. It is an effect which was clearly apprehended and foretold by the opponents of the act, and could hardly have been unknown to its supporters. But it is equally ap parent that the latter had a debt to pay, and their creditors were Shylocks who insisted on both the pound of flesh and the blood of the people. Freed by the act from formidable foreign competition, they are now exercising freely their ability to curtail home pro duction, advance prices and add hugely to the profits of monopoly and extortion. It would be some palliation of this taxation for the benefit of fovored interests, if it should add materially to the revenues of the government. But the prediction may be safely made that the only considerable increase resulting from the act will be from its in ternal revenue provisions and from the taxation of two or three important articles that were in the free schedules of the Democratic tariff, such as raw wool and hides —articles whose taxation must ne ds be felt and paid by all the people. They must endure it for four years, but their time of reck oning will then come. Three Good Things.

When a man begins business he advertises to let people know he is in business, and he continues to advertise to let people know he continues in business. Further more, he does not advertise after business is made, but he advertises to make busines. We would say in this connec tion that the Daily Timks and the Times-Messengkk together make up the best advertising .medium in the Pee Dee country. Relief in Six Hour*.
