The ; Circulation in the County - /■' i? * Used Cuaa aad the Hot Weather It. k Atlanta Constitution. This horrid, torrid weather remioda ■M of what Henry Ward Beecher said in his church one sweltering day in July. He took no text. He sriped the peraplmtion from hia brow and look ing aolemnly at the large congregation, Mid- “ It is hot today. It is - amued hot. It Uaa hot aa belli” Every- mm amazed and ahocked until he added, “ That is the lauguage 1 heard two young men use at the door of the church as 1 passed them. My young friends, it is uot as hot aa hell.” Then In a low, earnest tone he pictured the torments of hell and the certain fate of the wicked until the atmosphere ol the church seem d to be cool and plaaaant in comparison. The ladies to move their fans and every body waa still and solemn as a funeral. It was something like Jonathan Ed wards at Northampton when he got hia hearers so wrought up and alarmed they groaned in fear and grasped the posts and braces to keep ftou sinking into hell, and another preacher in the pulpit begged Mr. Edwards to •%)p, Mr. Edwards; stop now tall them of the mercy and love of stop, and tal God.” What wonderful power is In the words of an aloqueut, earnest man. Mr. Beecher was all of that—a gilled, eloquent man. 1 heard him preach twice before the wai and wss profound- )y impressed. I looked upon him at the impersonation of tho man of God.

Ube smiled and said it was -‘The Lord Will Provide.” The judge charged the jury very mildly, and told them that an assault Implied malice, etc., but as the jury couldeut see wherq the malice came in, they came back with this verdict: “ We, the jury, find the defendant not guilty, as there was. po malice or hate iu it, and we recommend him to the mercy of the court.” This story reminds me of Juhn Riley’s verdict in the Pass case. Good old John Rile/, the foreman of The R ime Courier’s pressroom for years and years, and the foreman of the jury in the case of the State against Romulus Pass for hog stealing. Pass had been suvpected of killing Wallis Warren's shoals as they ran in the woods, and so Wallis laid for him and oos evening aliout dusk, when he heard a rifle shot, he slipped up and caught Pass in the very act of putting the shoat in a sack. Wallis dident go to the war and mauag ed to save his stock. Pass went, and left his wife and three little children to the mercy of God and the com munity. When lie returned be found there was nothiog left to live on, and one of the children had died. Judge Wright volunteered to defend him, and introduced no evidence, but bad the last speech. 1 wlil uever forget the lender pathos of that speech—hia pic ture of a |*oor soldier returning home to find desolatsost and despair.

Men who enn pray eloquently and carry on theological controversies with credit are quite as highly esteemed as those who excel in ths use of the rifle or iu ath letic sports. Thera are few words iu their vocab ulary because they do not have Liady Ideas or much information to com municate. It is said that uo civilized people have eo barren a language, but their dialect ia unique and.philologists find in it a close relation to the Scotch, which was the tongue of their ances tors. Perhaps their limited vocabu lary is part of their poverty. - They may practice economy in language as in the other necessities of life, but their virtues are equally conspicuous and they are fatuous for Rieir bospita- lity. No mountaineer ever turned a stranger from bis door unless he sus pected him of being a revenue agent, and then he followed him down the road with a shotgun. They never lock up anything. They have nothing to steal, aud honesty and a recognition of the lights of others are the fundamental principles of their morality. Charles Egbert Craddock has given us graphic pictures of (heir customs and habits, and those who know them best say that her sketches are accurately drawn. > They care very little what is going on in the outside world, and while they do not resist civilization that is pressing closer and closer around them, they are indifferent to it.' Thay refuse to adopt labor saving machinery, although the industrial schools established by the benevolent people of the North for the hands and minds and tastes of the coming generation are gradu illy break ing through the crust of their con servatism. Not long ago I visited one of these schools near the Hot Springs of North Carolina, which was founded by s Dartmouth Col ege man named room of the Dorland Inst tute. There is a collection of nondescript garments of ail siris sod fashions aud materials which would suggest another esasy by the author of “Sartor ReaartttS.” These ferments have been received from time to time in missionary boxes from be nevolent people m diffeient parts of the country, and are spread out accord- inh to size and quality, as m a second hand clothing store, and supplied to the families of the mountaineers in ex- ctiange for vegetables, eggs, butter, fowls, fuel and whatever else the pur chasers an able to offer. Nothing is given gway. The price of a pair of shoes may be only 10 cents; an over coat may be exchanged for a days’ labor, a warm woollen dress for a pair of chickens or a basket of eggs, or a fuB suit of clothes for a load of wood, and by such barter the school is supplied with the necessities of life. THE SOUTH CAROLINA JUDGE Dr. Carliele Talks About the Judi ciary in This State in Other Daye T£e Spartanburg correspondent of the News aud Courier makes the follow ing report of an address of Dr. Jas. 11. Carlisle before tbe_ leathers yf.the Bute : Dr. Carlisle made a ntrJSl interesting and suggestive talk to the teacheis Saturday evening, bis subjecl„.being the South Carolina Judge. It did not seem a very attractive subject for teachers, three-fourths of them being' women and no path Maxed out from the teacher’s desk to the bench. Rut he was especially interesting in holding up and illustrating the dignity, tbe in tegrity and the incoimplibility of tbe South Carolina Judge. He sa’d that in May, 1K42, a body of students miicht have been seen walk I'uke I w? Main'slreet in CVumhia, and lurn- Dorland, who went down tbeie many >“i? 1,1 ^be Court House, where iho years ago fos his health.

While the office was vacated resolutions were p issed endorsing the integrity of the unfortunate Jfidge. Since that day several Judge* have approached close to the danger line. No Judge has ever been impeached for corruption in offtee. There were able lawyers in this State *who could uoi accept a Judgeship. Jgtmea L. Peligru belonged to that .class. He needed more money than the salary given to a Judge. Judge Long- street, of Georgia, when not a member of the church, opened his court with a short prayer. There is no recorded instance of a South Carolina cdir. being thus opened. Dr. Carlisle alluded to the three Judges who have recently died and said that the breed of noble men and just Judges had not died out. When Eng land's King dies immediately tho pro clamation is made in due form, “ The King is dead, long live the King ! ,f Let this be the earnest wish ami prayer i>f every cilizeu when South Carolina Judges pass away. “ Let this Judge or that one die, but long live tbe South Carolina Judge !” , Superintendent McMahan has rj ceived a request from the general su- pcrinP-udent of education to appoint the teachers from this State to work io the i’bilippiues. The appointments are to be made if jHissible cn or before j • tbe l.Mh instant.

Manufacturers’ record. In bis address at the commencement’ exercises .of a trade school in New York, Charles Sehwab, president of the United States Steel Corporation, said that the boy who does his duty and a little more than his duty is the boy who is going to succeed in the world, and that the boy iu business— not one intended for the professions— who starts with a manual school edu cation at seventeen or eighteen will get a start Ohat tbe boy who goes through college will never catch up with, other things being equal. Here Mr. Schwab was talking of practical education as an aid to boys seeking to be self-made men, not the education derived merely from text-books. That is demauded by the times, and espe cially at the South. This was well illustrated by Mr. D. A. Tompkins, of ^barloite, N. C., in a speech in which, recognizing tbe value of education in schools aud colleges if properly sup plemented with practical training, he quoted tbe following as a typical con versation between tbe manufacturer and the average youth who has liuished a school or college course: “ I called in to see if you could give me a position.” “ What can you do?” asked tbe manufacturer.” “Well, I haven’t had any experience, ami 1 can’t exactly do anything, but I’ve bad a lair ed icatiou aud Fm witl ing to try almost anything.” “ Can you play football?’’ asked the manufacturer. “Oh, yes; very well, indeed,” an- -swered the young man. “ Did you i>lay so well the first time you imd ?” “ No, sir; 1 had to practice a lot be- foie 1 could do any good.” “ I he work in my mill requires pre vious training or practice, just as foot ball does.

This thing of cursing is of very an cient origin. Sometimes it was done by proxy. Bala)jf the king of Moab, hired Balaam to’curse Israel) and some of us veterans remember when we, too, wanted to hire a cuaain man to expend oar wrath upon the Yankees. Peter cursed and swore when accused of being one of the disciples. It is pro bable that he said “ I’ll be damned if 1 am,” or perhaps worse. Soldiers and sailors have in all ages been profane the very class that are in greatest peril and should luive the greatest reverence for their Maker. Uncle Toby says “Our army kwore terribly in Flanders.” And Unde Toby himself swore an oath when he found the sick soldier lying and dying at his gate. “ He •hall not die, by God,” he said, aud the accusing spirit flew up to heaven With the oath and blushed as he gave it in. The recording angel as he wrote it down dropped a tear upon tha word and blotted it out forever.” That is beautiful, iaent it? Verily, charity hideth a multitude of sins. Bat this is enough on this subject. It ie ton hot to work m the garden and •o I get in (he shade of the vines on my verandah and ruminate.

There these pioneers settled down, cleared little spots of land in the forest aud began an unending struggle with nature, which has been only partially successful, and, continued from geo- •ratiou to generation, has produced a hardy people who live comfortless lives of labor aud privation, and yet are net unhappy. Their politics, religion, morals and superstitions are unchange able and of the severest kind. Their politioa is based on liberty, as their re ligion is based on brimstone. Hence they are Moonshiners, hard-shell Raptists and shouting Methodists. They resist tbe revenue officers because they believe the government is de priving them of their liberties. Theii preachers picture tbe tormeuts.of the damned in lurid colors, because it re quires something strong to arouse their emotions, and their mortal lives are so full of misery that it mild form of per dition would uot seem an adequate punishmeut for sin. They are dull in book learning, but tenacious of memory. This is due to their empty minds, and their lack of knowledge and experieuce. They have lived in stagnation. They have few events to remember and the im pressions left by the trifling incidents of their lives end the little iulormation they gather are never effaced.

The temperature was generally favora ble for the growth and development of field crops, and there was about the normal amount of sunshine. ILgh winds caused some damage to corn on the 2.'ith. There were numerous, scattered showers throughout the week, gener ally light, but heavy in place ♦.-with a maximum rainfall of 2.00 In Pickens County.

Strangers always wonder where the mountaineers get thei^ clothing. Much of it is home-made, like tbe furnish ings of their bouses, which shpw the lack of what Harriet Beecher Stowe calls “ faculty.” They cannot adapt things like the Yankees. They can make r, tomato can serve the purpose of a teapot, but their ingenuity goes- very little farther. The most suipris- ing and mysterious problem is the origin of their hats, and, although I have asked thu question of every body who ought to know, I have been unable to get ihe slightest satisfaction us to the source of supply. The women wear sunbonnets made of calico with wide frills, but the men have the most remarkable variety and patieru of headgear worn anywhere else. You cannot find their like in any other part of the civilized world, aud they not only last a lifetime, but are handed down from generation to generation..

In i ie old days the reate t deference was paid Judges. The fra ternal feeling, the spirit of the body, was marked. The Judges met in Co lumbia twice a year. They boarded at the same house, not at a hotel, but a private house, and that brought about a close relationship. Judge O’Xeall never spoke in private conversation of Judge Richardson, or any other Jud /e, but it wa* “ my brothei Butler, or Wardlaw.” In 184.'), after an earnest debate, a law was passed i mitiug tbe term of a Judge, so that .when he reached (!5 year- the (fficj would he vacated. While that law -a signed by tbe speaker of the Ho ••■ and president of the Senate, ii m \ - became operative. But after that .m effort was made to get Judge Richardson out of office'on accouni of weak mingand failing men tal power*.'

That. is a fair definition, and it fastens the name glut ton on many a person who would resent the term as an insult. The fact of this gluttony is marked by its consequences. The overloaded stomafli becomes dis eased. The popular term fqr the condi tion is "weak” stomach. The "weak” atomaeh fails in furnishing adequate nu trition for the body, and soon the " weak ness ” spreads from the stomach to other organs. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It enables the perfect assimilation of food, by which alone the health and strength of the body is maintained. "Year medicine helped me »o much that* I cannot praise it too highly,* write- Mr*. C. L.

Bring to bear uiton commercial, manufacturing and wba’l are now called business pm suits the wealth of inherited and acquired intellectual capacity with which it has pleased God to endow you.

There has been too much attention given to tbe mere professional schools. Tho professions are overstocked. Without the material wealth resulting from a.development of natural resources and the expansion of manufacturing industries ami trauo consequent thereupon, progressive overstocking of the professions can re sult only in progressive poverty for their followers. The industrial anil agricultural schools should therefore receive stronger support. There is a promise that this will be give". May it be quickly lulfilled. The record was broken the past week m the sale of unoccupied lands in Ne braska, Wyoming and Kansas. Over /iOjOOO acres were disposed of, the largest amount in any one week in the history of the land department. Charles J. Delvin, a Topeka milli >n- aire, carries more life insurance than any other Kansan. The amount is 1714,000 and the premiums aggregate $30,000 a year. - - I THE YOUNGBLOOD LUMBEK COMPANY AUGUSTA. OA.
