If McLaurin is turning Republican, all we have to say is that he is keeping mighty good company, for the people of South Carolina are with him. The time is- past when the voters can be led i.-15?: arouna oy me nose, oeneviug m uiu, dead issues. ? These "me too" newspapers and politicians are amusing. When some one of their kind gets a position for a friend it is great political influence. When McLaurin gets a place for a friend, he is turning Republican. The trouble is that McLaurin is not rewarding the political hacks of this State. And why should he? They have always been opposed to him for the reason that he had too much sense to be controlled by them. Senator John L. McLaurin has been invited by the citizens of Greenville to make an address in that city about the middle of next month on the issues of the day, and has accepted. He has suggested that the date be about the 22nd of i * May. That he will give the Greenville ; . people something to think about is certain. He has reasons for the faith that is in him, and can convince any fairminded man that his course is for the best interests of South Carolina. y . The Newberry Observer thinks that McLaurin will be beaten, but will get a . , very good vote, and goes on to say: "He v; will be beaten, not because of his course in the senate, but because the 'dominant dement' wants his job for another man who will be more subservient to the plans and schemes of said element." Wait and see, contemporary; wait and tl?ot tllfi IIOCC, XUU ACUlVilluvi buuii wv element" has heretofore taken a hand in U. S. Senatorial races, and yon will likewise remember the result. The "dominant element" is not so all-powerful in South Carolina as it once was. District Conference. The thirty-fifth annual session of the Orangeburg District conference was held in the Methodist church at Denmark, April 17-21. Rev. H. B. Browne, P. E., in the chair and Rev. G. Edwin Stokes, Secretary. The attendance was goodall of the preachers were present and ~ most of the delegates from all the charges. The good people of Denmark not only gave the conference a kind welcome and handsome entertainment but attended its sessions well, not permitting the cold, rainy and disagreeable weather to hinder, v They seemed to enjoy the proceedings of the conference as muclt as the preachers and delegates appreciated the generous ; hospitality given them. An excellent program prepared by the Presiding Elder covering the various interests of the church and church work to be looked into by the conference and reported upon by the preachers, was followed. The conference inquired closely and carefully into the different depart; - . ments of church work and the reports were gratifying. They sho^^Lthe Orangeburg District to be in finiJPBfctition, making advancement in spiritual and material interests Rev. B. D. Moss, O. B. Riley, G. H. Bates and A. C. Dibble were elected delegates to the annual conference. Rev. G. W. Dukes, J. K. Inabinet and 4 J. L. Tyler were recommended to annual conference for the traveling connection. Rev. G. W. Dukes was recommended to annual conference for Deacon's orders. The claims of the Advocate and Christian Education were represented by Drs. John O. Willson Editor, W. W. Daniel, President CoIumbiajFemale College, Prof. .J. G. Clinkscales, of Wofford College, Prof. F. E. Dibble, of the Carlisle Fitting School of Bamberg, who were present and addressed the conference. Rev. T. C. O'Dell "preached Saturday night and took a collection for the Orphanage amounting to $25. He represented the orphanage in growing condition. Rev. E. O Watson, from Charleston, was present and urged the Leagues of the District to send delegates to the State Epworth League Conference to be held in Batesburg in May. This was one of the most pleasant and profitable District Conferences Orangeburg District has had. The spiritual element predominated and all went away strengthened for better work. Bamberg was selected as the place for holding the next District Conference. X. m Caught a Dreadful Cold. Marion Kooke, manager for T, M. Thompson, a large importer of fine milli nery at 1658 Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, says: "During the late severe weather I caught a dreadful cold which kept me awake at night and made me unfit to attend my work during the day. One of my milliners was taking Chamlierlain's Cough Remedy for a severe cold at that time, which seemed to relieve her so quickly that I bought some for myself. It acted like magic and I began to improve at once. I am now entirely well and feel very pleased to acknowledge its merits." For sale by Bamberg Pharmacy. To White Teachers.

McLaurin made at a J' banquet of the Southern Manufacturers' tj Club in Charlotte last Thursday evening, it His subject was: "Our present condition r< in the South and our duty for the future." j! We have no apology to make for eon- (, suming so much space with this address, tl as we believe our readers will welcome it. P for the Senator's course has been so per- ^ e< sistently misrepresented by the politi- v cians and a few newspapers: s< I desire to make a statement of some- a what a personal nature before proceeding (' with this speech, which I intend to deliv- ? er tonight. A certain newspaper correspondent in the city of Washington has t] persistently spread the report that I was coming to Charlotte to make a speech 1 which would launch a new party in the south. The report is absolutely false. If :1 I had any such intention good taste would !' prevent me from taking advantage of an !< opportunity of this kind. I am content 11 to advocate within Democratic lines the policies which I believe to be best for the 1 South, and when I can no longer do this c I am ready to retire to private life. a In the South we are today realizing some of the dreams of its far-reaching l' statesmen and business men of fifty years * ago. With prophetic eye, they saw the 11 industrial and commercial possibilities of 11 our highly favored Southland. e With an advance of thought that is a really surprising, they suggested enterprises of wonderful magnitude for its up- s building and commercial dominance. ^ From 1838 to 1860, conventions were held ^ to voice the demands of a deepseated a public sentiment for industrial progress. * The story of these movements ischroni- r cled in a South Carolina publication, which, under the name of Debow's Review, did for the old South what the s Manufacturer's Record is doing for the J South today. same snirit. which enabled our 11 fathers to leave the field of defeat with s nothing but their courage and their characters left, still lives in the South, and inspires you today in your great under- j, taking. t The plans of the great southern busi- r ness men and statesmen of fifty years ago \< are no longer idle dreams. Postponed by a cruel war which destroyed our social p and industrial system, and which for n years reach co-operation in national undertakings almost impossible, such men n as I meet here tonight are making these n dreams actual living realities. ij WHAT WARS SETTLED. t Talk about the "New South," the name is a misnomer. It is the same old spirit revived which sixty years ago made the South the dominant power in this nation ? ?a position of which nothing but war a could have robbed her. What we need c now to again attain that proud eminence f is the same broad conception and the F same comprehensive grasp of the true u situation. The last twenty years have a wrought an industrial revolution in the v south, which must find expression in our v social and political life. The time is past for the discussion as a to whether this government is to be one = consolidated in its structure or a loose r aggregation of (so-called) sovereign 1' States. The civil war settled that. s It is useless to discuss the question of whether this is to be a purely theoretical c Democratic government or an expanding s and giant Republic. The Spanish war .v settled that. Why not then accept con- 1 ditions as they are and make the most of 1 them? c The agitation of such issues only serves ; to sidetrack broad American doctrines I and should not be made party questions * because they grow out of actual political \ and economic conditions, Avhich it is be- c yond the power of either party to change. i I care not of what political faith the occupant of the white house might have * been; for, if a true American, mindful of the honor and dignity of the nation, the j results of the Spanish war could not be 1 widely different from what they are today. * Why should our people be the only * ones to close their eyes to what is going * on? Why should we move along in the ' same old ruts and insist that political e policies and old traditions, long since 1 dead, are vital living issues, and depend 1 upon them for the salvation of the South? f lesson of mckinley's triumph. 1 The triumphant re-election >of Mr. Mc- r Kinley in the last campaign is full of sig- 1 nificance. It is a stublxirn fact confront- r ing the Democratic party today, suggest- * ive of reproachful remembrances and ^ fearful menaces. What a reflection that j this new Democracy did not carry a } State where the issues were discussed and F judgment passed by the people upon 11 them on their merits. Of course with us n it has been impossible to decide elections upon issues. It has been simply a ques- l1 tion of white supremacy. In the north and the west, dissolved into factions, tainted by the errors of republicanism " and the follies of populism, the party j could not withstand the tide of popular ^ opposition excited by unreasonable criti- v cism of the conduct of a foreign war, and c by the vicious and incendiary appeals made during the last month of the cam- a paign to class hatred and prejudice. s Fundamental principles were lost sight I1 of, and in an insane effort to secure party success at any cost, the attempt was made to combine socialism, populism and sectionalism, with nothing but the sentiment 0 and traditions of Democracy. The real ^ Democratic leaders of the senate for the " past three years have been Allen, Teller, il and Pettigrew, all of them able men, but nna n Pnnnlict mip liiiHi-t.irilT Rfmnhli- ?" VA.&V/ M ? ? l\ can, and the other, I do not know what, t] All of them opposed to State banks of issue with proper safeguards, and most t other things we need in the South. This was called"the "New Democracy" in contradistinction from the old, and some of its leaders stated that its creeds were rev- ^ olutionary and were so designed to be. To sow discontent with industrial con- c ditions and distrust of the governing ri power; to array class against class, in the . hope of securing fancied social and in- 11 dustriul equality, is to my mind the first j step in revolution. The South is the American end of America. In no section , is there so small a foreign element, so much conservatism, and so pure a patriotism. What a political paradox then it is for our people to be the allies of pro- y fessed revolutionists elsewhere. WHAT TIIE MCKINLEY VOTEUS FEARED. " It was not the pure type of Southern ' Democracy that the balance of the conn- ? try feared in the last presidential election. u They knew that properly interpreted this I1 was conservative and safe. It was well 1 understood, however, what influences , dominated, and that, therefore, the south :j in national affairs was still powerless. One doubtful northern State had then c! and has now more inlluence than the en- ( tire south combined. One party says, V: Why should I consult you, 1 can hope' for nothing. The other says, I've got ? you any way, and I will do*as I please; help yourself if you can. ., What a position for a brave, high-spirited people bound hand and foot, the mis- ' erable slaves of one party and a football 1 for the other. I, for one, do not believe that the people of the south are ready to trust this '' government into the hands of any party j to begin the leveling process through the | exercise of the taxing power; and yet this j is exactly what this new propaganda! means, and outside of the south it is pro-< < < claimed by the very same class who j ti :md nraotioe snei:d ennui it v be- i n tween the races. The two dogmas are [ ti inseparably interwoven. Go into the j d west, attend one of their campaign meet-! si ings scratch beneath the skin and you hi will find the same old social equality dog- si ma, to the tune of which the soul of John | Brown is still "marching on." I p Taxation for the purpose of equalizing c< or redistributing property is rank social- ii ism, not Democracy. Let it take hold in a< the south and with it will go those bar- ir riers which we have erected to maintain o the purity of our race and the integrity o of our civilization. DEFENDS EXPANSION. j tl Another thing?to my mind it is folly j d to oppose expansion under the name of j ci nperialism. It deceives no man of in lligcnee. He understands that there no analogy between this country and le Roman Umpire, and that those whe ilk. of imperialism do not take into ac?unt that power which is born of oui ee institutions, a fortress in the hearts f our people stronger than any evei uilt of stone. As long as this is there uy can never become slaves; and when is dead it matters not whether undei public or empire, they become an easy rey. It depends upon the people, no) le government, whether they be slaves r freemen. It is the people who make le government, not the government the eople. With a brave, strong, intelligent euple, with a free press and populai lucation, there can be no imperialism t hy should we be afraid to trust our hesV The whole tendency of the times nd the spirit of the age is toward Demo ratic instead of imperialistic ideas ol overnment. The throne of the "Great White Czar' rembles today at the roar of the Demo ratic Lion, and the echoes resound ever rom the far oil' Orient. Our people understand that it is no dual territory or dominion over peoph hat \vi' seek, i>ut the expansion or Amer an thought, ideas of government com icrce and civilization. Political leaders might well learn tlia lie law of progress will sweep away a: half those who would place barrier gainst this mighty tide which is destine< o spread the Democratic idea of govern uent to the utmost bounds of the earth rly definition of Democracy is liberty fo nan, formulated into a theory of govern ncnt. It means man's inalienable own rship of himself, it means free though ,nd free speech. In the dark ages of the past some poo lave raised his bowed head and looking ip into the blue sky caught inspiratioi rom God's free air and sunshine that h ,lso of right was free, and ever since hat vision of liberty has been an undyim evolution for every age and all climes. Grecian and Roman slaves saw tin icavcnly light and facing their masters words, bravely died. Saxon churl witl vooden collar, and our own fathers, a }owpcns and King's Mountain, looke* ipon the celestial picture, and with ; mile of joy gave up their lives. WriAT SHOULD A PAKTY DO? Why need a true Democracy hunt fo ssues in our relations with foreign coun rics? It is upon domestic problems, tin ights of man and man, the relation o iibor and capital and its stand upon thesi omc issues that has endeared it to thi icople in the past and upon which i lust finally stand or fall. It is folly to attempt to dwarf grea ational and international issues int< lere questions of party policy; it faile< ii the last campaign, and will fail ever ime it is tried. WILL NOT BE TRAMMELLED. Every member of the American con ;ress, when it comes to a foreign policy , foreign war, an army, a navy, a mer liant marine, or any other question af ecting our honor as a nation, or ou irosperity as a people, should be free an< intrammeiiea to vote as nis juugmen iid conscience dictate. For myself, i ould not under existing conditions, b rilling to hold a seat in the Unite< itates senate upon any other terms. T< ,llow others to think for me upon thcs< ;rcat questions is a cowardly evasion o ay responsibilities, and a criminal neg ect of the true interests of those win elect me, I am rejoiced tonight to be in the pres nice of so many of the great captains o outhcrn industry. You are the mei vhose energy and* enterprise are develop ng our natural resources and thus layinj he foundation for the full enjoyment b; >ur section of all that must follow in th vake of the expanding glory of our Re mblic; and this in spite of the fact tha t has become the fashion in some quai ers to sneer at what is termed the "sor lid commercial" argument in favor o ixpansion and other national issues. Our political leaders should not forge he fact that modern Democracy had it >rigin in this same commercial* instinct rwo hundred and fifty years ago it hai ts birth in those cities* along the rive thine, where, through trade and manu acturing, the people could compel th eudal lords to grant them civil rights rhe free institutions of which we boas jrew up under the fostering care of com nerce.

They aimed to create a giant not i ligmy. KY>r n lintinn tli#? cpntnrr' lias hpen enn cut to grapple with questions of interna evelopment, but suddenly in the evolu ion of our national destiny, we havi iccome one of the great powers of thi rorld, and can no longer move in i ircumscribed orbit.

The question of the hour is not wheth r this Republic is what its founder with the light before them) intended t< lake it; not whether this is theoretically n ideal Democratic government, at af imes in exact conformity to the techni al requirements of a written constitution ut whether with the spirit rather thai lie letter of that constitution, we ar< laking the most of our national oppor unities and meeting the political econo lie conditions growing out of the con tantly changing needs of the people. Ii > historically true that no form of gov rnnieut ever did result from deliberat< hoice; it has always been the logica L'sult of conditions.

True statestanship, while vigilant as to the present >oks with prophetic eye to the future. The people have a right to expect theii aiders to lie in advance of the thought ol ic age, and not tamely drift with the in rent. In an era of* transition and liange like this, without some such fore ist. political parties will cling to dead sues, ami finally flounder in the niael roin of factional divisions aud greed >r oflice. When Louisiana. Florida, Texas, and ulifornia were acquired the great leader? f the Democracy acted upon this docinc. and so when this war with Spain roduced certain results it would havt ecu the part of wisdom to have made arty platforms and policies correspond ith existing conditions, and their nat nil and inevitable consequences. STKl'OoI.INO For. COMMEKCE. We are now in the commercial arena mtesting with the other nations for tlu adc of the world. So far we have built p our foreign trade by intense absorpon in the internal development of out omestic industries. We now product itlicient for the needs of twice our popuition. and not to tind a market for our irplus is to invite stagnation and decay. The most striking feature in our exort development is the remarkable and instantly increasing demand for our on and steel. Within six years we havt lvanced to the position where American on and steel enters into the construction f every bridge and railroad in the world r Axes the prices therefor. I saw in the papers a few days ago that ic Baldwin locomotive works in Philaelphia were supplying the Russian govrninent with 150* locomotives for the Trans-Siberian railroad. The facts sur! rounding this sale are of peculiar interest [ The Russian government owns its rail. > roads and maintains large shops. It puts a duty of 4 cents per pound 011 imports, hut when it came to supplying the equipi ment for this giant road of 8,000 miles, it was found that they had to come to the ! United States. And yet. seven years ago 1 the first iron shipment abroad was from Birmingham, Ala. FROM BORROWERS TO LENDERS. Another feature of American influence ' is our suddenly acquired financial inde; pendence. For years we have been bor rowers, but during the two years past we ; have become lenders of money. Three of the largest European governments, England, Germany and Russia, have found it ' necessary to come to New York for im" portant loans, thus showing that the " centre of the financial world has been transferred from Lombard to Wall street. , It is folly for the political leaders of the south to close their eyes to the truth that the commercial expansions of the United 1 States is a fact of constantly enlarging proportions, demanding changed govern meniai puncics u> uuti i c? uiumuwnri. 3 In spite of higher wages, with laborsaving machinery, the superior skill ami intelligence of our operatives, under a factory system better organized than any [ in the world, is giving us industrial ass cendaucy. It needs, however, to support * it a broad statesmanship, not handicapped by sectional prejudices. We can differ about domestic matters and divide ' upon party lines, but when it comes to r utilizing national opportunities, north, south, east and west should unite in maintaining the supremacy of the United 1 States in the great struggle among the nations for the commerce of the world. r ir COLUMBIA THE MANUFACTURING CENTRE. a The south must play an important part e in our country's future. For a third of a century she has been hampered by a ir struggle for mere existence, forced to devote all of her energy and statesmane ship to the maintenance of white sui' premacy. Thank God, this is permanent h and assured beyond peradventure of t doubt. At last she has emerged from her ] forlorn and prostrate condition; freed <x from her enthrallment, she can put herself in touch with the best thought of the age, and again exercise an influence in national life. I believe the time will r come when the south will be the hope * and salvation of this nation. Iler mar^ velous growth in manufacturing enter* prises, her development of natural rce sources, and her rapid advance in proe ^gressive thought and action, is making 1 her again the leading section in this countrv. The centre of manufacturing 1 in the United States has been transferred ^ from Fall River, Mass., to Columbia, S. * C. But if we would make the most of 7 our opportunities we must renounce sectional prejudices and support broad national policies, looking to the creation . of foreign markets, the expansion of - trade and the upbuilding of a common 1 country. We must demand and have for _ the south a full share of the benefits as r well as the burdens of national life. The i south is vitally interested in the Asiatic t markets. Her manufacturers are studyt in<r Mie nneds nf the neonle in an intelli e gent effort to turn out products suited to j those markets. The closing of the China 0 markets owing to recent troubles has e caused a glut of goods, which is affected f bv a decline of three cents a pound in .. raw cotton. D WHAT MCKIXI.EY IS DOING, The administration is doing a great * deal towards improving our commercial * opportunities in the east, by showing 11 some regard for the inalienable rights of China, while protecting the legitimate ? demands of foreign interests. Dewey's Y victory first established American prese tige along the Asiatic coast. It was then l_ that 800 millions people in the orient * learped rcspeot for the united States and saluted us as a first-class power. The attitude of the United States since in the * field of diplomacy in China has given confidence and increased that respect. * The United States from the first took s lead, and even the warlike Emperor of ' Germany has had to yield to "Uncle ^ Sam's" "friendly admonitions. We now r occupy the vantage ground, because on * friendly terms "with all the powers. I 8 make the assertion that the south has more to gain than any other section from * the foreign policy now pursued by the " administration, particularly when the " Isthmian canal is constructed, as it will e be. I have read extracts from the speech 7 of my amiable and distinguished friend e his excellency, Minister Wu, recently '* made in Chicago. It is replete with * wisdom and good sense. We cannot 1 hope and we should not wish to break l- down the civilization of China upon " which is based a polity, society and relig? ion the slow growth of 4,000 vears. To i .a - ? A. ?A it. a : T : ^ it... ^ 4 * ?o so is iu uesiroy me j^iupuu jii uie ui* tempt to suddenly thrust upon her a " western civilization for which her people are not prepared. All we can hope to do a is to vitalize this old civilization with western ideas, science and inventive : genius, thus makiug it more potential in * material achievements. This country has * done well to use every effort by the bee nign influence of its political and comB mercial power to preserve the identity of x the Empire and the integrity of its civili" zation. Under this policy, it is r-easonT ahlc to expect China to become the ? constantly expanding market for our 1 products, and as gradually her interior is fully developed by a network of railroads and ail of her oities opened up to foreign commerce, the opportunities are " almost without limit The South now j controls most of this trade, and with such , development, in the near future, it should j increase tenfold. cn.\$Gpp rosppnoxa. , Wo are no longer a purely agricultural i section, but mining, manufacturing and i kindred interests have sprung into prom inencc and demand governmental policies - to protect and develop them. A statcs manship so partisan in its character as t to adhere fo old political doctrines, ei thcr settled by the arbitrament of the J sword or firmly fixed as governmental pol1 icies, cannot solve the political and economic problems now confronting the f southern people. Such a statesmanship ) cannot properly interpret present eco1 nomic movements, nor provide by ag; gressive and progressive thought for the , radically changed conditions now conJ fronting us. 1 Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury, I as mercury will surely destroy the sense ; of smell and completely derange the . whole system when entering it tiirougii . the mucous surfaces.

C Application is the price we have to pay a for mental acquisitions, if it is not prac- \ tieable to have school training, find it in J the printing office. Several years close i application to the press will give one a I clear conception of the groundwork on t which our language is built. But a step \ farther. What is the fearless press worth I to our nation? Could we be free without t it? Is there any agent, not excepting the 1 pulpit, so dreaded by the perpetrators of \ crime as a brave press? The pen of a c keen sighted, intelligent, conscientious t individual, occupying the honored edi- i torial chair, wields an influence, the r power of which may terminate only with e the vanishing years. 1: Realizing that a great portion of the r world, especially those in the busy walks r of life, read only newspaper literature for t their general information, how important v it is to afford them wholesome reading c matter: Uut to have this without hearty v co-operation of the people, is as impossi- r ble as to expect a harvest where no seeds u have been sown. In the history of every s paper, and I allude to country papers v principally, arises a disposition among \ its business subscribers to withhold their t advertisements from its columns, prompt- t ed I dare say by either selfishness, econ- c orav or an inability to weigh the worth they can derive in a pecuniary and intellectual way. Every dollar expended on a paper strengthens it and can one boast a loyalty v to their county's interest while they help c to dwarf their county paper? t I heard a man say with great equilib- j rium of conscience, apparently, that he g paid his subscription and "the editor v must do the rest." The editor's bed is j not one of roses, I feel as sorry for him t as I do the preacher, for one is expected 0 to get up a lirst class paper unaided and r the other to preach souls who have lived a in sin to heaven. j Let us take another step. Do we have q the proper estimate of the good we can j derive by familiarizing ourselves with the pen "in connection with the press? I)o we realize fully that nothing is so conducive to clear "thinking, concise tothc-point word painting as writing for j, the press? Why is it there exists a reluc- ^ tance to write up locals and bring our towns into notice? Afraid of helping the editor or have we no interest in our d paper? a I would fain say more for my heart is filled with a desire to see the constant strengthening and upbuilding of our u papers. S With the busy workings of Cupid and the grip around us, there is always something to send to the local column; let 'em a roll! M. O. Laniek. v mi 11 a ...

In Hampton county, which is very near p; the coast, vegetables, fruit, corn, and especially cotton, have been seriously damaged, if not destroyed. Many farm- ^ ers arc now plowing up their cotton, ^ some replanting with cotton, and others . sowing food crops. Cotton seed is scarce, q | nearly all of it having been sold to the I oil mills, and at this late season it is expensive to pla.nt cotton, as grass comes up with it.

"Zigzag" on Whiskey and Pistols. Editor The Bamberg Herald:?I iave been reading Clod Ilopper and C. A. \ on whiskey and pistols, and E. R. S. rants tobacco and cigarettes discussed, sow, I don't wish to argue these evils vitli either of these parties, and while ny eyes may be wrapped in fog, I wish o say I think those gentlemen are ruuling this discussion without their headights. You can't convict a man for arryiug a concealed pistol. Why? Beause the jurors who try him have one n their pockets. I don't mean to say all >f them, but enough to keep him from >eing convicted. It is the same way vith whiskey. Public opinion won't ondenin a man for taking a drink and vhen he drinks one he wants two more. . think those -who don t take a drink are ilmost as scarce as the righteous men of joinorrak. Now we might name evils it length, but you can't cure a man of valking lame by knocking him down. \Teitlier can we do much good by discussng these things without some remedy, >ut I guess it is human nature to want o pull the mote out of our brother's eye vhen the beam is in our own eye. Now, think the destiny of the coming generaion rests with the ladies. If they would mite and say we will not keep company vitli any one that chews, smokes, drinks, arries a pistol, swears or any one else hat would stoop to do any other low act, t would do more towards bringing our nen to a high plane of living than has ver been done. Of course we ought to lave good Christian men in every comiiunitv; men who are not afraid of foes, idicule, or slang, to use the sword of he Spirit, which is the word of God, and i'ho would not fail to use it on every ccasion. Now, I am open to conviction, and if any one has a better emedy, let us have it through the colunns of The Herald, but if these uggestions could be carried out, which rould doubtless seem like bread cast ipon the waters, I am sure it would >e seed sown in good ground and would iring forth fruit to the honor and glory if Christ and our country.
