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

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

young inao was put up to make bis
statement, and all he said was that she
looked ao sweet and pretty he couldent
help it, and he dident believe that
Mies Molly was very mad about it
nohow, for she went off singing of a
hyme. “ What by me was she sing
ing?” asked the judge. “I dou’t
know,” he said. “ What hyme were
you singing, Miss Molly?” asked the
judge. 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. He
never alluded to the evidence, but bad

is a matter of pride with them. 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

Dorland, who went down tbeie many >“i? 1,1 ^be Court House, where iho

Judge Wm. Dobein Janies had been
on the bench thirty yean, and had'
yielded to a n Hie, overpowering, de
basing appetite for strong drink. He.
had n ached a point where he could
not resist the i cm plat ion. 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. Transports are to
leave San Francisco on ihe 2.‘ld with
many teachers trom all over the coun
try who are to be sent to all tbe Phil
ippine provinces by the government to
mamige ihe schools. Superintendent
McMaha i dcsi-es those who wish tbe
tx>»ition to apply to him at once. The
requirement is that teachers so sent

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. If'you want a position, |
education alone (in the aen*e uf *ch<Nil
or college education) is not sufti ’ifnt.

hand the colonel resumed his broken
remarks, hut declares that he never
came aa near cursing since he joined
the church.
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.

They partake of ihe rugged and som
bre character of the mouataina io
which they live, and have inherited
the habits and customs, as wqil as ths
cabins, of their grandfathers and great
Kiaudfaihan, who got Uiat far in the
westward inarch of smpire, but
could go no farthei because their
teams were tired and tbe moun
tain toads were impassable. 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 mountaineers are illiterate in
secular learning, but you seldom fiud a
household that is not well posted in
Scripture history. While they may
not be able to read the text, they can

TUE WEATHER AND CROPS DURING
THE PAST WEEK.
The week ending Monday, July 1st,
averaged slightly wanner than usual,
with a maximum temperature- of 102
at Ratesburg on the 25lh, and a, mnii-
mum of 00 at Cheraw on the 27th.
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. Cultivation made fair prog
ress where the rainfall was light, but
much land remains too wEi to culti
vate, and many fields* continue to be

a girl proves too dull of iuiellt-cl to

place is filled by another of greater
promise. The course is three years, at
the end of which giaduating exercises

to impress tbe fathers and mothers and
tbe neighbors with the importance of
education. Moet of the girls matry u.

Strangers always wonder where the

of it is home-made, like tbe furnish

lack of what Harriet Beecher Stowe
calls “ faculty.” They cannot adapt
things like the Yankees. They can

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.. They

The Judge* borrowed tbe gown from !
Engl iud, for S-wth Carolina wa- cloeer^
ta tbe mother countrv than any of the 1
Srates. Rich men would semi their
sons Pack Lome to lie educated. By 1
that association tuc gown nnd the J
sheriff, with cocked hat and sword es-1
eorting the Judge lo aud from tho |
Court House, became customs here.
On«* hundred year 1 ago lawyers wore !
gown-. 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*.' Tlu only way to accom
plish that was tn npeachment, so be
was impeached aii i defended his own
case. ^
When the Sena- ■ had assembled to
try him tbe pr« * de it. vy. F. Colc ( ck,

what Judge,. Richardson had to say.
The Judge had a table nnd -ome bo ms

ber. He arose and Uk.dt. auch a clear,
fogicaft forceful arguument that the
Senate was convinced that his mental
powers werrall right and the impeach
ment failed.
In the colonial - days an unworthy
Judge was sant out from England.

GLUTTONY
Is more common than we may think, if
.we define gluttony as eating beyond the
body’s need of sustenance and beyond
the stomach’s capacitj- for digestion and
assimilation of food. 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.
Brook*, of Poland, Androncnggln Co.. Me. "The
first do»e I took helped me. I cannot forget
how I felt when I took it; I wm (uttering every

IJuioia Cen-
troi Railroad, to a t'baQcellor Fulton, of
the Umvereity ol Mississippi, in which
he wrote:
.“Instea I of overslockihg-the learned
profeeaiona, turn ydur well-tratued
tnmda to the development of the vast
latent resoutcea of you own favored
ia’ d. 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. Do uot wrap your talent
J n a napkin and bury it iu tbe ground
if sloth and idlp contentment.”
Such advice is born of the wi: h to
see the South measure up lo its cupa-
.bilities, and to see the young men of
the South share in the great benefits
flowing therefrom. 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.
