Lecture at the Methodist Church.
Edward Thomson, LL.D., the eloquent
lawyer-preacher will deliver his popular
address on "True Americanism" on the
night of Wednesday, August 23rd, in the
Methodist church, in Bamberg, at
8:30 p. m. This is a first-class lecture?
equal to the best?and yet, admission will
be free, because the Sunday League of
America has engaged Dr. Thomson to
give this lecture in thirty-five cities of
this State, and our city has been selected
as one of the places.
I The Springfield, (Ill.)Drtf7y Xtws says
of Dr. Thomson: "He is the most eloj
quent champion of Sunday reform in the
| world."
I The Nashville, (Tenn.) Daily American
remarks: "Dr. Thomson is one of the
j most finished orators of the South, and
I though:a lawyer by profession, he gives
j much of his time to the work of this
I league, of which he is the head."
J. D. Chapman, I). D? Duffy Street
I Baptist Church, Savannah, Ga.: "The
lecture he gave in our. church was not
only superb in manner, but profoundly
! interesting in matter. "I wish every one
j in this" country could hear that lecture:
i It' cannot fail to do great good."
| : S. R. Preston, D. D., PresidentCliicora
| College, (Pn sbyterianV at ' Greenville.
SoutlrCarolina, writes: ''With the lhagiI
cal power of a true orator, he captivated
i liis audience. We were instructed, coil;
; vinced, aroused.' The old theme w^S set
: in a new frame, supported by overwhelm;
! ing argument and brightened by lively
illustration."
j Iiishop Wallace W. Duncan. Spartan:
burg, S.'C., (M. K. Ch. So.f thus ooni;
: mends the Doctor: "Most cheerfully I
j commend ISdward Thomson, LL.D., gen!
eral manager of The Sunday League of
! America. I have heard h:uj with pleasure
and profit. He is doing an important,
a vital work, and is doing it well. I trust
he will have access to all Christian pulpits
in the land, and remove every vestige
of organized and systematized desecration
of the Sabbath."
James II. Carlisle, LL.D., President
Wofford College, Spartanburg, S. C-. testifies:
"His visit here left good results.
I wish he could lecture in every commu.
nity throughout our great Sabbathi
breaking country."
Distinguished Lecturer Coming.
Rev. Edward Thomson, IJ?, D., of Atlanta,
Ga., who is lecturing throughout
the United States in the interest of The
Sunday League of America, will lecture
in the Methodist church on Wednesday
night, the 23rd instant. The lecture will
be free, and upon a subject in which all
should be interested. I had the pleasure
of hearing Dr. Thomson preach and lecure
at our last annual conference, and I
can say without hesitation that he fully
met the expectations of his fondest admirers,
and captivated the entire conference
with his eloquence and logic. Even-body
is invited to hear him.

TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF
YE EDITOR AND YE PRINTER.
An O'er-trne Tale in a Vernacular
That is Intelligible Even to the
Uninitiated Lay Reader.
QUARTO?TIIF. TURNING DOWN OF THE
rnns'TEi:.
It was only after a considerable
amount of gee-whoaing and heehawing,
and the exercise of other
vociferous persuasions, that the
Printer was dually enabled to restrain
the Fast Horse from an immediate
gratification of Her Inordi
nate Appetite. She had fully made
up her mind to enter that livery
stable, and the perspiring Printer
was almost in despair of being able
so get the hammer-like head turned
the other way. His efforts attracted
a small crowd, several of the members
of which added to his irritation
by the unsolicited offer of sarcastic
adyice. His temper was ip no wise
improved when lie spied the Devil
on the other side of the street, who,
haviug by a superhuman effort,
Wrenched his eyes from a contemplation
of the cliarmsof thescautily
clad "cigarette girls," in the window
of the cigar store, now stood on the
pavement, his legs wide apart, his
hat on the back of his head, his
pudgy hauds thrust deep in the
pockets of his knickerbockers, and a
most sardonic grin corrugating his
impish face. The Printer was (Jriyen
nearly to desperation when, the
grinning crowd still increasing, and
his struggles with the Horse becoming
mpre frantic, the Pevjl yelled to
him ;n his shrillest voice;
'?SheJs tuck dpr studs, Specks,
T'row sand in her ears!"
This advice parsed the Crowd to
laugh and jeer, and thp Printer to
curse under his breath. He was
abont turn the stubborn animal
loose, when She finally concluded to
go quietly back to the front of the
Times and Democrat office.
The gruesome appearance of the
Black Wagon, and the mystery surrounding

spread over its bed, raised the curiosity
of the Orowd to fever heat, and
when the Printer, in a menacing
voice, warned the Devil not to leave
the Horse again on the peril of his
life, and started to enter the store i}}
front o| thei printing o$ce5 again,:
the assemblage'had'become quite a
Mob, and several of the more veil- 1
turesome loungers were interrogating
the DeyiJ w]lat ha(x died
of. The Printer ftgH'-d the young
Demons dnvwerarhe stepped across
the threshold. It was:
"Smallpox!"
Thereupon the Mob melted away
in panic-stricken hurry, one pompous
looking man in a black Prince
Albert coat and duck trousers, declaring
iu a veiy loud tone that the
{'police ought to he noticed," while
a sanguinary looking fellhw in a blue
shirt made the horrible suggestion
that they should "lynch that feller
in specks!"
The Printer ground his teeth in
impotent rage, but being assured by
the pretty and pleasant mannered
young lady clerk that
THE BOSSES' "friend SXMg"
had arrived, he presented himself
immediately before that gentleman,
and handed him the letter of application,
introduction, and supplication,
regarding the "working off of
the edition," with which the Boss
had provided him
The former's "friend" proved to
be a very merry gentleman of rolypoly
figure, who - hastily1 read the
tt^te and said i
'"All right, sir, I reckon we can
-1.1... ...v.. ??
accoinuiuuulu )uu;
Thereupon he called to the Foreman,
and the Presgfoun, his A&siat
ant, black as Erebus, and several
Printers?all of whom he instructed
to go out to the Wagon and bring
ip the Form?, The printer accompanied
them, and was overjoyed to
find that the Devil's horrifying disclosures
as to the Cause of Death of
the Coffined Corpse under the Rubber
Blanket, had driven 'everybody
from that 'side o'f the street for the
distance of half a block each way.
There was a small Crowd gathered
on the sidewalk opposite, mid
when the paper's'force ohtancj
the prin'te*1, .mounting the off hind
wheel 6f the Black Wagon, lifted
the Rubber Blanket from the Forms,
a barefooted negro shouted ;
"Dey'sgwinetohtek derco'ps in!"
And the other members of the
Crowd craned their necks to catch
a glimpse of It. Thei" curiosity
and interest was inflamed to feVer
heat, when the Printer, b.epq:n"^ qv'er
the iVm?? tittered a despairing
cry, . '
One of the p:?ges of type undei -
ne.ith the Blanket was intact, al
though deeply coated with the sand
and grit taken up bv the wheels of
the Wagon from the roads !of Orangeburg
cohnty, but several columns,
at the bottom of' its fellow,
had sprung'hway from" the chases,
and were ' " *'*

that page!" said one of the Brintt?vs.
The Bressman grinned and started j
back into the office, while the Sable j
Assistant guffawed. The Devil had i
deserted his post at the Horse's
head (She had fallen fast asleep.

ing of the fodder and com for which j
She seemed to have such an Appe- j

on the seat of the Wagon, leered
malevolently, and muttered:
"Iluliygee! Dat is a bust up. j
But den dis yere ole nigger hearse
wus jes* bound ter be a hoodoo!"
Bight then and there the Printer |
could have committed Wholesale!
Murder, but he smothered his rage,
and when the Foreman suggested
that the page might be "fixed up,"
he felt like shaking him by the
hand, and treating him to a drink of
?artesian water.
A careful examination revealed
the fact that four of the "pied" articles
were of unimportant "miscellaneous
matter," put in to "justify"
the page. The most serious "pi"
was the bottom of one of the col
timns devoted to the Bosses' Great
Scood. "The Williams Disbarment
Case*"
"What is that article?" asked the
Foreman,
The Printer told him.
XO FURTHER DISASTER.
"You're all right then," was the
gratifying response. "It appeared
in this morning's State, and our
men have it in hand. There's less i
than a stick full pied, and you can
set that up in no time. I'll loan
you matter to take the place of those
other artioles. The Printer thanked
him gratefully, and under the di
rection of the Pressman, who had
returned to the Wagon, the Form
that was intact was lifted out and
carried through the store and back
to the press room. Its pied brother
was lifted out on the Board, and,
although it scattered a trail of type J
from the Wagon to its final resting
place on the floor of the press room,
it was laid thereon without further
disaster. The Deyil picked pp the
scattered type, and the pretty young i
}ady clerk gave him a box to put it
in. The Printer pulled off his coat
apd began cleaning out the pied lines
in the Form and setting straight the ,
balance of the page. Being provided
with the '<copy" of the Williams 1
pase, and shown a ''case" of type,
thp little metal letters were soon
merrily clicking together in his
composing stick. Meanwhile the
"Foreman had lifted othei matter ill
ill place of the remaining pied articles,
and when the Printer finished
his "take" of th^Williams storj, all i
that wa3 necessary to do was to lift !
the type into place and "lock up" ,
the Form. ' ,
pdfQye beginning work at the case
the Printer had instructed the Devil
to take the Hor$e to the livery stable
uearby and "feed Her well." The
Imp reported that this had been
done, and while the Printer worked
he amused himself by guying the ,
other printers behind backs
and c$gtjng "languishing glances
ju the direction of every pretty
girl customer who came into the
store in front.

AND EAT.
When everything was ready and
the lately wrecked Form had been j
imposed for the press, the Pressman <
informed the Printer that he would
not be able to put his job oil until J
"just before dinner." The Printer ,
had become philosophical again,
and he did not eyeu sjgh Of hd
washed the type stains from his
hands, donned his coat, and went
out with the Devil to "Prow a snack
inter him" as the latter put it,
It was the Printer's first visit to
Orangeburg's shire town, and lie ha;}
resolved during the ride' thitherto
sae s&uje Of lU beauties, but the
disaster to the Forms had put all
desire for this sort of thiugfrom his
mind, and after a visit to the Stable,
where he was informed by a
negro hostler that the Hor^e was '
"jes' stnftin' hevse'f," he submitted
to the Devil's importunities) whose
hunger?despite the great quantity
of green apples and unripe peaches
(to say nothing of the watern^elftnj
he had consumecj ^l&ug tfce road?
never be' satis tied, and
{Jquted up a rest'auraut.
;l It was not much of a place that
they were finally, after many inquiries,
directed to ty a friendly native,
and the only food ready to be
served at that moment, was "bread
and butter and coffee."
"Dat'Jl do,' vouchsafed the Devil.
^Dredd is tilliu' an' dercoffee'll help
pack it away." '
Immediately following this gastronoinical
observation, which was
made while they were seated at a
table covered with a cloth that had
once1 been white, there was a bustle
at the door, and a ridiculous Little
Man, who was in stature and physL
cal conformation masculine "Miss
Mp.ucher,'* buried into the room.
A BITING EETORT.
It has been before stated that the
Priuter has but one go<xl eye, and
Mils is bad', and he thought he recognized
in the newcomer a man
whom he had met in the I^qrtlu of
similar build ipid s.tatqre.. He mentioned
this fact to his companion,
aqd the Devil waved one of his little
arms to attract attention, in.d shout
ed across the room:
"S a a-y, Shorty! My fren' here
'Piv.f ftrop lioi-ii un'
fififii IIC l\liu? >? jvi? wi\.i >>viv mi
shake ban's wid an ole pard!"
At being thus familiarly addressed
the Little Man almost flew across
t!he room, and his face was very ye'q
and angry. His head hardly reached
to Uifc top of' th\e t;ibie where the
rrin'f'.r and th?"Devil sat, and when
his angry eyes were turned upon the
pair,'the Printer asked:
?;l)id I not meet you s?ver^l years'!
ago in Phil a?"
'ANa*v jr broke in the Li die Man
savagely, and he flew back across
the roQin again.
As he disappeared i^to an adjoining
apartment the Devil yelled ; i
/Pa!. ta! sonny. Yore forgiven !"
Just then thft Waiter appeared
with the Viands.
''Shorty sorter broke It off in yer,
didn't he, eh?" cried the Devil, as he
seized a piece of bread and turned!
his leering face toward the Printer*
