The Faithful.
The following has been sent to us by a
friend with the request that we re-pubiisli
it:
How much we owe to the faithful ones
who "stand by the guns" while the cowards
and the shirks and the seltish consult
feU their inclinations or their convenience,
regardless of consequences! "What
would we do without them?those who
stand firm and steadfast in face of dif
ficulties and dangers. They are "the
anchor to windward", the "last hope.,,
In the parable of the talents virtue and
fidelity are coupled together: " Well done
thou good and faithful servant." I have
sometimes thought that faithfulness is in
a way a measure of goodness, for is there
a higher nobility than that which exacts
'the faithful discharge of a duty, or faithfulness
to a trust.
How much the world needs its faithful
ones! How few they are! How small the
number of those who can l?e depended
upon.
Take it in the church. There are always
a few who are at the services, weekday
as well as Sunday, rain or shine.
The minister depends "upon their presence;
they give him heart. Thev give
according to their ability, remembering
"the Lord lovcth a cheerful giver." On
them come the burdens, financial aud
otherwise; they see that the church is
properly cleaned; they are foremost in
getting up those festivals and entertainments
calculated to coax the reluctant
dimes and quarters out of the pockets of
non-members?by offering a supper
worth twice what they are asked to pay
for it.

Easter Thoughts.
"He is not here for He has risen."
The resurrection is one of the cardinal
foundations of our religion. We have
infallible proofs of Christ's resurrection
mysterious incarnation, etc., yet must we
- . "walk by faith and not by sight," and as
x we contemplate the correlation of plans
made for our redemption, they unfold in
divine beauty to our minds.
Christ remained in the grave from
? thirty-six to thirty-eight hours. A pe
^ riod sufficiently long to convince a
doubting people he was really dead, at
the same time not long enough to cause
any decay, for it is said he would "see no
corruption." We note the fact that lie
was dead all day Saturday, which signi- J
% \ - fied to his blood-bought people they must i
do away with the Jewish Sabbath and all
Jewish feasts and ceremonies and begin
a new dispensation.
"An angel rolled away the stone."
Christ had the power to break the seal of
the grave and free himself, but here we
find another significance of his prearranged
plans. He was still a prisoner
tinder arrest and he wanted his incarce
?
ration, like his death and resurrection, to
end miraculously?thus his discharge or
release was sent from heaven.
s*He
rose on the first day of the week, in
token of a new dispensation, a new work,
a new Sabbath, which is designated as
"Lord's day," a season when christians
are to meet and worship and break bread.
With Christ's death (when we are told
the difference between Jews and Gentiles
is nailed to the cross and free salvation
is for all) and the abolishing of
feasts and ceremonies, the Sabbath, which
was instituted in remembrance of the
perfection of the work of creation, was
-- -* also abolished, and the new Testament
speaks of no other day of the week save
>. "Lord's day." "We really have no authority
now for calling the day anything
else but Lord's day.
"Ye seek Jesus, fear not." A beautiful
lesson is given us here, not to seek our
Lord with fear, for if we do earnestly
and diligently seek him he will be found,
and to find him means peace, happiness
and eternal life.
"He is not here, for he has risen."
if ;. i
Christians must worship a risen Savior?
who paid the debt on Calvary, assuming
the sins of the world and who is now at
- ; the right hand of God interceding for all
who thirst for righteousness. Though
we are sin-cursed from birth, glory be to
his name, we are told to come and drink
freely of the water of life?a water that

Wlien Does the Doctor Sleep!
People forget that the doctor needs res*
and sleep as well as his patron. In many
cises a person taken sick will suffer all
day and the doctor will be called late in
^_the evening, perhaps just after he has
retired after a long day's labor. He
might just as well have been called in
the afternoon or early evening.
The following little anecdote has two
morals, and the readers of The Healthy
Home are bright enough to appreciate
both of them:
A Boston physician was called out of a
sound slumber the other night to answer
the telephone. "Hello! what is it?" he
asked, little pleased at the idea of leaving
his comfortable l>ed. "Baby is crying,
^ doctor, what shall I do?" came across the
1 wire. "Oh, perhaps it's a pin," suggested
the doctor, recognizing the voice of a
young mother, one of his patients. "No,"
was the reply; "I'm sure it can't be that."
"Perhaps he has the colic," returned the
doctor, with well simulated solicitude.
"No, I don't think so," replied the mother,
"he doesn't act that way." "Then
perhaps he's hungry," as a last resort.
"Oh, I'll see," came across the wire, and
then all was still. The doctor went back
to bed and was soon asleep again. About
half an hour afterward he was awakened
by the violent riHiring of the telephone
bell. Jumping out of bed and placing
the receiver to his ear. lie was cheered by
the following message: "You are right,
doctor, baby was hungry."
The Boston preacher who discovered
there were 35,000 women in that vicinity
who loved dogs but hated children, need
not be alarmed. The birth rate of
children in this country is said to be 72
per minute, and. in most cases, there is no
tax upon the infants, while every State in
the Union has a dog tax.
In a recent scandal case in Smith county
Kansas, a lady witness declined to answer
a question, and the attorney demanded
her reason. "Because it is not tit to tell
decent people." "Oh, well," said the
lawyer, "just walk up here and whisper
it to the judge."
Suicide in St George.
St. George, Mar. 27.?Mr. Carney Gaskins,
an Ex-Confederate soldier, commit t'd
suicide here yesterday afternoon hy
shooting hinself through his head with a
pistol. He had been confined to his bed
for some time with some chronic disease
from which lie sulTered very much. I
Yesterday he borrowed a pistol from one !
of his neighbors under the pretence of!
wanting it to shoot a cat. Late in the
afternoon he dressed himself and wi nt j
out to his corn crib and when found w:ts i
dead, having shot himself in the left [
temple, the ball passing entirely through !
his head. No one heard the report of
the pistol and it is supposed he shot himself
about the time the evening passenger
trains were passing and the noise from
the trains prevented anyone from observing
the report. He lived only about one
hundred feet front the passenger depot
here.

A Strike In Georgetown.
Georgetown, March :?0.?Yesterday
during the noon hour, while the machinists
at the Atlantic ('oast Lumber Company's
shops were at dinner, a tight occurred
between a small white boy and a
negro boy. When the men returned to
work at 1 o'clock the boys were still quarrelling,
when a negro man interfered,
whereupon a white man interfered and
the consequence was that in a few minutes
six to ten men, both white and black,
were mixed up iu a general fight with
sledge hammers, knives, iron bars or anything
handy as weapons. The result was
that three negro men were very badly
hurt, one very seriously, his skull being
fractured from a blow with a sledge. The
chief and several policemen were soon
dispatched to the scene of the disturbance,
but. the white men had disappeared.
Four were, however/captured later and
lodged in jail to await the result of the
injuries received by the negroes. Last
night the foreman of the machine shops
called upon the general manager of the
company and informed him that unless
all the negro men in the shops were discharged
they would quit work. This demaud
was not granted by the management,
and in consequence fort}* to fifty
machinists and blacksmiths clnl not return
to work this morning, and they were
joined at noon time by thirty ^men from
the foundry who also quit work. It is
said that they are all union men and will
not return to work unless their demands
are granted and the negroes discharged.
The management refuses to yield and tlie
shops have remained idle all day. Many
or all of the men who quit to-day have
been paid off and a number of them left
the city on this afternoon's train. This
occurrence, all resulting from a quarrel be
tween two boys, has caused a great deal
of strife and wild talk of trouble between
the whites and negroes, but there is no
| great ground for any trouble and really
j none is looked for. The negroes who
I ?
were hurt are getting on very well this
j evening and will, no doubt, pull through
all right.

Government Exhibit Again.
Washington, April 1.?There is a possibility
that the Government will be represented
at the Charleston Exposition,
notwithstanding the failure of Congress
to pass the Tillman bill providing for an
appropriation of $250,000. Senator McLaurin
has hit upon a practical scheme to
have the Government exhibit, which is
now being prepared for the Buffalo Exposition,
also displayed at Charleston. Sena\f/?T
onrin hppn at work on this
tui iUtUUUilu "W- "WW. ... ,
project for some time past ami to-day
called at the White House, accompanied
by Senator Hanna and Senator Pritchard
of North Carolina, and presented the case
to the President in an attractive form.
The position is that although no special
appropriation for the Charleston Expostion
has been made for a Government ex- '
hibit, it may be feasible, under existing
circumstances, to secure by Executive
order, or otherwise, authority to have the 1
Government exhibits now being prepared 1
by the agricultural department and the '
interior department, for the Buffalo en- J
terprise transferred to Charleston at the
conclusion of that Exposition. Senator
McLaurin urged that the Buffalo Exposition
will have ended before the Charleston
Exposition opens. Instead of having the '
Government exhibits immediately return- *
ed to Washington they may be shipped to '
Charleston and displayed there while tinlatter
Exposition continues. Theproposi- :
tion appeared to impress the President favorably
and Senator McLautin's statements
were reinforced by Senators Hanna
and Pritchard. At the conclusion of the j
interview the President expressed a
friendly disposition towards the Charleston
enterprise, and stated that he would
take pleasure in having the subject thor- '
oughly investigated, so that if it is pos- 1
sible to find in the law, rules, regulations i:
or practice anything to justify or permit ,
transferring the exhibit to Charleston it ;
will be cheerfully done. The President 1
added that he would take particular pains J
to bring the matter to the attention of (
Secretaries Wilson and Hitchcock at tomorrow's
Cabinet meeting, and expressed !
the hope that the way may be opened to :
grant Senator McLaurin's appeal. It is
well known that Secretary Wilson ear-!
uestly desired to have an imposing Coy- !
ernmental exhibit at the Charleston Ex-j,
position and he exeited himself in behalf
of the Tillman bill while the subject was !
under consideration in congress. If there I
is any way by which the expense of the
transfer and the care of it while in ;
Charleston can be provided for under
existing law it is safe to assume that
Secretary Wilson can be relied upon to
lend his valuable aid. Senator McLaurin .
is conscious of having made the effort at |
any rate, and it was to give additional j
force to his request that he invited Sena-;
tors Hauna and Pritchard to accompany j
him to the White House. * 1

A Shock to Blackville.
Ki.aikvii.lk, March 30.?Our town was
made sad today by the death of one of its
best citizens. Mr. Arthur Kuist, Jr.,
youngest son of the Kev. and Mrs. A.
Kuist, the junior member of the firm of
Dr. D. K. Kriggs A Co., druggists, died
last night at 12 o'clock in Augusta, where
he had gone a few days since to undergo
a surgical operation for appendicitis.
The suddenness with which he was called
away caused a great shock to his relatives
and frit nds. He had been confined
to his home only a few days previous to
going to Augusta, and 110 one expected
that the end was so near.
The remains were brought to Blackvilli'
front Augusta this afternoon. The
funeral services will be conducted by the
Kev. (\ E. Kurts at the Baptist church
tomorrow morning after which he will
be buried at the cemetery by the Knights
of Pythias and the Woodmen of the
World, of which orders he was a member.
Mr. Buist leaves a wife and one son,
a father and mother and several brothers
and sisters who have the deepest sympathy
of the entire community.

Washington, March 27.?Some of the
post-ofilce officials, who are particularly
interested in the expansion of the rural
free delivery service, are becoming alarmed
at the rapidity with which the appropriations
are expended in certain States.
It is asserted that many Congressmen
seek to have the rural free delivery established
in their respective districts
simply for the amount of patronage involved
and without regard to the general
benefit to the public service. This is said
to be the case in several of the Southern
States narticularlv.
It appears that experienced Democratic
Congressmen, having grown weary of
trj*ing to obtain Federal patronage for
their constituents under a Republican administration,
have hit upon the rural free
delivery service as an avenue to the public
crib. Every time a new rural free delivery
route is established the Congressman
making the request is usually accorded
the privilege of naming the person
who is to perform the delivery service.
These delivery agents or carriers receive
a compensation of $.100 a year for service,
including horse and wagon. In some
parts of the United States $.100 a year is
regarded as a salary worth striving for.
A prominent postoflicc official in commenting
upon this subject said: "You
would be surprised to know how hungry
Congressmen in certain States arc for
these little places. In almost every instance
they manage to bestow them upon
some member of their immediate family
or some near relative or personal friend.
If I wanted to assemble family parties in
certain States I would at once go to the
official records of the rural free delivery
service as my directory. I have in mind
one case where a member of Congress
had his son appointed as a special agent
to recommend the establishment of a 1
new route and postoffice. The postoffice
was named after the Congressman and
the postmaster isn member of the same
family, so that his family name figures
in four separate transactions. This is ;
but one instance. I might mention :
ni'inv ntliiTi iif ?i nntnrn \ < ;i <
rule the Southern Congressman keeps !
this class of patronage strictly within the
family circle."
The Best Remedy for Rheumatism. ,
QUICK RELIEF FROM TAIX. ;
All who use Chamberlain's Pain Balm |
for rheumatism are delighted with the (
quick relief from pain which it affords.
When speaking of this Mr. D. X. Sinks,
of Troy, Ohio, says: "Some time ago I i
had a severe attack of rheumatism in my ;
arm and shoulder. I tried numerous '
remedies but got no relief until I was
recommended by Messrs. Geo. F. Parsons
A Co., druggists of this place, to try
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. They recommended
it so highly that I bought a bot- 1
tie. 1 was soon relieved of all pain. I i
have since recommended this liniment to i
many of my friends, who agree with me i
that it is the best remedy for muscular |
rheumatism in the market." For sale by ]

Pat and the Doctor. j
An Irishman over in Indiana called
upon a physician and informed him his
wife was sick and required medical aid.
The doctor was willing to give his attention
to the case, but desired the man to ,
pay in advance or enter into an agree- j
incut to pay when his services were no
longer required. j
"An ye'11 kill or cure for $20?" said
Pat. * ,
"Yes."
Pat was satisfied, and left the doctor ,
to perform the contract. The woman i
lied, and in time the doctor presented his
lull.
Pat looked at it a moment and then
iisketl: <
"An' did ye/, cure her?"
"No," answered the phyician. j
"An' did ycz kill her?"
This was a poser, and the doctor discovered
that Pat had caught him. The j
bill, at last accounts, had not been paid. t

"CONDENSED STORIES.
Senator Clapp's Idea of an Old
Fashioned Remedy.
Senator Fairbanks of Indiana and
Senator Clapp of Minnesota were
coming down from the capitol from
a night session. Senator Fairbanks
was complaining of the inconvenience
which ineffective night sessions
have upon senators, especially
if they arc threatened with a touch
of the prevailing grip. The Indiana
senator, turning to Senator Clapp,
remarked:
"Senator, you arc originally from
Indiana, and you doubtless remember
that old fashioned remedy they
^sed to prescribe for a disease of the
grip character down on the Wabash.
It was whisky and quinine."
"I don't like your mixture," retorted
Senator Clapp, with a scowl
upon his Indianlike countenance.
"It spoils the whisky and doesn't do
the quinine any good."?Washington
Post.
A XEW MASTER'S MADONNA.
Hugh Huntington Howard, the
water color artist, laughs every time
he sees a picture by the famous
artist, Bodenhausen, relates the
Cleveland Leader. "Years ago,"
said Mr. Howard, "I lived in a
boarding house at which there was
a woman who was always unintentionally
amusing the other boarders
by her reckless use of big words and
her wrong pronunciations. It was
at the time that the beautiful Madonna
of Bodenhausen was being
exhibited, and it was quite the fad
for ladies when out on a shopping
expedition to stop in and view the
wonderful picture. One evening at
the table this woman asked one of
the other boarders in a voice which
could be heard by-every one else at
the table, 'Oh, Air. Blank, have you
been to see the beautiful boarding
house Madonna yet V"
A CARLOAD OP INNOCENTS.
A street car full of congressmen
and senators was passing the District
of Columbia buildings where
"NOT GUILTY."
the city judges sit. A new conductor
yanked the door and, obeying the
rules, shouted:
"All out for the police court."
After a moment of astonishment
and silence Mr. Sulzer of New York
broke the ice by saying:
"Not guilty; move on!"
HOW THEIIl DACKS FACED.
There was an Irishman named
Patrick Cane on the stand up at
Macon a few years ago during the
trial *of the case of a damage suit
against a railroad. Pat was a most
decided witness, and his witty replies
caused much amusement
among the lawyers and spectators.
All efforts to entrap him were skillfully
parried by the intelligent son |
of Erin, whose native good sense
was more than a match for the bigwigs.
The defendant's attorney
said i*
"Now, Pat, which way did you
say these boys were looking when
the train came in ?"
"East, sor."
"East. Ah ha! And now state
which way their backs were?"
"Well, sor," said the witness,
"their backs wuz facing west."?St.
Louis Republic.
"YOURS NOT TO REASON WHT."
President Patton of Princeton
university recently delivered a sermon
at the Fifth Avenue Collegiate
church, his subject being "Faith."
Dr. Patton spoke of the blind faith
of the client who puts himself at
the mercy of a lawyer in preparing
an action for trial and of the confidence
of the sick in intrusting themselves
to the physician.
"'A case of blind faith," said the
clergyman: "The doctor writes out
a prescription. Oftener than not
you cannot read it. You don't know
what it is. He tells you to take it. j
'Yours not to reason why, yours but
to do and die.'"
Whether or not Dr. Patton meant
it there was a distinct ripple
throughout the congregation.
