THURSDAY, December II, 1902. i We do not advise but warn the legislature that our people will not always tamely submit to the rather reckless appropriations that have characterized that body for the past few years. * * * We trust our citt' authorities will take the proper steps to have the sidewalks of Main street kept clear during the Christmas holidays. It is extremely annoying to ladies as well as others to have to elbow their way through the crowds which congregate on the sidewalks during Christmas week especially, and we trust : city council will instruct the policemen to keep the sidewalks clear. *** Many of our citizens and taxpayers are loud in their complaints over the slowness with which the business of the present term of court is l>eing dispatched and v the increased cost to the county on account of this dilatory method of transacting business. Much of the blame is put upon the lawyers for arranging a roster, and it also said that the presiding judge should have ignored the roster and adjourned the court just as soou as there were no cases ready to be tried. It is said %; / that the court has 011 more than one occasion took a recess waiting on "attorneys to arrive, and on other occasions there would be no cases ready for trial 011 at count of the roster, in consequence of which the court would do nothing for a half day or more. We mention this matm tqr Vjr request of several gentlemen, but the dissatisfaction is not confined to a ' ?. few. If the facts as stated to us are true there is certainly reason for complaint.

Jack Cockran come by my house one . nite and talked me in the notion to go to ? * ~ Augusta, and even Fredosia got plum tall of the idee for me to go, for seys she; i v"IwaDt some little artickles I kant git down heer in Punkin Ridge, and you can buy 'em cheap." So bright and earl}* Friday morning I et my breakfast and shined j my old boots and Fredosia she jiuned| ; around and hope me to brush up a leetle and me and Jack put out. Ge whiz the people! I never seen such a muddle in my born days. We got outen the engine house, whar all the people land, and |__^__squeezed our way outen the tale end. Jack sed he knowed the way to broad street and we was agoing all "right when a good for nothin'gal throwed a handfull of sum kind er sawdust in our faces. Then some body come and blowcd a horn in my ear. ' I says to Jack, "Let's clean up from heer; we aon't know what kernivals is and we better get off and see whar to go." Toottoot ^agin was bio wed in my ear. I slapped at the grand rascal and dislodged a hat off en a lady's head. 'T begg your pardon, ma'am," I sed, and bless Katie, I was on the ground and people awalking over me. "Jack, oh Jack, whar is you;" and still the people passed on ! How we jined each other, Mr. Editor, aud why every bone in my constitutional convention isn't broke,"I don't know. 8ide-shows and people ayelling for you 2 t to come in, mf lands! Jack dissolved the * notion to go in one and I followed. What do you think met our gaze ? Them twobeaded niggers what was born and raised near Branchville, Millie and Christine. Jack 'lowed we could see niggers in Pun. : kin Ridge for nothing, but seys I, "Not with two heads." That kinder recogized him, and we made a straight shoot for . them articles Fredosia wanted. We located at J. B. White's, and at the door a pleasing, sleek looking fellow came prancing up to us. I knowed he must be some inena we mei onct ana i uia not want 10 be lacking in manners, so I grabbed bis hand and shook it and Jack followed sute. The fellow smiled and sed, "What can I show you, gentlemen ?" That reminded me of the remeinoranda Fredosia writ, but sir! it was gone. Them rascals : made me lose it when they was a blowing them horns. So I went it blind, "Give me ten cent worth of long tale cambric cut on the bias." "Haven't it" he sed. "Well," seys I, "give me live cent worth of gungere and the same in l>olster sassage." Still he shuck his head. I was gettln' my dander up and I sevs, "What have you got then ? My lands, runkin Kidge can beat that." I nudged Jack to let's go; I was sick of kernivals. People was a buying, so" I reckon they found something to buy. Them clerks was a rascally set, for they tuck them people's money and yet yelled for "cash." I pulled Jack and we got out safe and sound. I am writing this, Mr. Editor, to carry out the golden rule. I hope to save some one from kernivals and rascally clerks. Fredosia was disappinted not gittiu her artickles. but wimmen are easily passified. Jonathan* Brown. Punkin Ridge. New Advertisements. > S.

If : - The Ownership of Children. * ' It is only in late years that lecturers and writers have taken it upon themselves to counsel fathers and mothers upon the proper bringing up of their children, and it may be said, incidentally, that since the world l>egan generations have developed into healthy manhood and womanhood without such advice. It is very difficult to advise beneficially on such a subject. Methods that are applicable in the training of one child are not always applicable to his brother. The subject will not admit of universal or even general statements, j However, in one point, at least, we do agree with Mrs. Birnev, the writer of a paper in the January Delineator entitled Childhood, that "the erroneous sense of proprietorship with which parents are wont to regard their children is a source of many mistakes in their management/' If the point of view of privileged guardianship would supersede that of ownership, the little ones, in many cases, would be happier.

Bamberg Pharmacy. WOMAN'S WORK IN MISSIONS. An Interesting Article on Missions by Mrs. M. W. Hook. Tin- Thanksgiving service at the Methodist church here was given over to the Woman's Missionary Society. At this service the following paper was read by Mrs. M. W. Hook, and it is published by request of the society: We may well raise our voices in thanksgiving to God to-day that Christian womanhood lias found its true sphere in missions. Her deep sense of indebtedness to Christ not only for salvation, but for every blessing which she enjoys, prompts her to undertake the task of helping her heathen sisters in foreign lands. We caunot say too much of the influence of woman in missions. When we think for a moment of her influence in ?ur home land?how the life of our nation is moulded by her hand?we can begin to realize how her power can help to lift up the fallen heathen women. If the lives >f statesmen and leaders in every sphere of life are influenced more by the mother's i life and character than any other, how can any nation be lifted up save through the mothers of that nation ? How, then, can we help to enlighten and christianize heathen countries, without reaching their women, and how can their women, sei.. i i .. . .1 l riuueu a> mn arc m tuuir inux-iio mm zenanas, he reached save through the personal efforts of godly women 'i Woman's work for woman is immeasurable. She must extend a helping iiand to her sister who is groping in heathen darkness. To do this Christian women must go to heathen lands and teach not only by precept, but by their daily lives, what Christ has done for them as daughters, sisters, wives and mothers. Realizing these great truths, christian womanhood comes more and more to the front. To-day more than one third of the entire force in foreign tields is composed of women. Her organizations at | home have had an increase and influence within the past half century, so great that no other agency compares with them in valife and virtue. The way has been | opened up for us. We are, comparatively, the second generation of missionary workers. Many of the noble women who prayed and planned for our organizations and work in missions, have passed away. The Woman's Foreign Missionary society in the M. E. church, South, will ever cherish the name of Margaret Lavinia Kellv who was the inspiring genius of mission "work among its women. She passed to her reward only a few mouths before the organization of the W. F. M. Society in 1878, but her labor and influence had helped to make the organization possible. Two other names, out of the many, must be mentioned in connection with the formation of our Society. They are those of Mrs. Juliana Hays our flrst President and Mrs. D. A. Mc&avock, our first Cor. Sec. Mrs. Hays was 65 years of age when she accepted the office of Pres. Think of it! Sixty-five years of useful consecrated service for the Master already spent. Was there any reason why she should take upon herself at this time of life the arduous duties devolving upon 1 the Pres. of an organization designed to -J 1 .? ...I.nlo oe eiiecieu luruugiiwut iuc ?uw ?v Southern Methodist Church * Many would have said, "There are others younger, stronger, better fitted than I, for the task" But no, she thought not of herself and her own ease and comfort, but only of her Savior's work, and his call, "go work to-day in my vineyard,1' and she hesitated not. While she was engaged in her work of traveling throughout the Southern church, organizing conference and auxiliary societies, Mrs. McGavock, our Cor. Sec. was busy with her pen, writing and planning for the work. She was a great sufferer. Her body was j almost constantly racked with pain, but her mind was busily engaged in the work of extending the kingdom of her Lord. These consecrated women, with many others like them, have passed away, and left to us the responsibility of going bravely on with the work so dear to thenhearts. It is gratifying to know that the work has made rapid strides throughout the entire church. But oh! what could we not accomplish, if every member whose name is enrolled on our list was an active, interested worker in the cause. A glance at our work in S. C. will be of interest to us. First we have cause for thanksgiving that the rank of our Conference officers has been unbroken since our organization in 1878. How familiar their names have grown to us! Why we can scarcely think of our work at all without thinking of the names of Mrs. M. 11). Wightman, Pres.; Mrs. J. W. Humbert, Cor. Sec.; and Miss I. D. Martin, Rec. Sec. j There they stand to-day just as they did nearly 24 years ago. uur s. u. uomerence Society supports two day schools/ one Bible woman and fifteen scholar-1 ships. The money raised in S. C. since our organization amounts to nearly $120,000. We have three missionaries from S. C. in foreign fields. They are Miss June Nicholson of Edgefield in Shanghai, China, Miss Johnnie Sanders of Union in Honchow, China, and Miss Delia Wright, of Anderson in Brazil. Let us thank God for the work he has intrusted to us, and for the progress it has made. Let us thank Him, not only for the living representatives we have in foreign lands, but also, strange as it may seem, we can render thanks unto his name for the hallowed memories of our dead who lie buried there; for the death of the missionary seems to be an inspiration to others to take up the work where it has dropped from their hands. The death of Dora Rankin, the first missionary sent out by our Society, was a shock which seemed to rouse our sleeping church, as nothing else could have done. In a few weeks several young women made appli-H cation for work in foreign fields. Since then Misses Laura Hay good, Mary Louise Richardson, and perhaps others have laid } down their work and gone to their reward, j leaving the impress of their lives and! characters upon the people for whom the}* were lal>oring. Let us up and be doing, for while we' delay millions are dying. The representatives we have there are toiling away,! and they need, not only the support of our means, but our sympathy and prayers. Let us hold up their hands. Let us help to spread the gospel tidings far and wide.

T * ?~ /\ tl>n mAtltnvc At 11 Will 1>C g<HM| 1JCMS Irll HIV illl'VUVli) ??? small children to learn that croup can he prevented. The first sign of croup is hoarseness. A day or two before the attack the child becomes hoarse. This is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough. Give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the rough cough appears, and it will dispel all symptoms of croup. In this way all danger and anxiety may be avoided. This remedy is used* by many thousands of mothers and has never been known to fail. It is, in fact, the only remedy that can always be depended upon and that is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by Bamberg Pharmacy. Still in a Critical Condition. Attorney General G. Duncan Bellinger came in from Barnwell last night. He has for over two weeks been by the bedside of his little son who had his leg broken in a football game. The little fellow is in a critical condition, suffering from the shock. The ease is one of a strange nature. The little fellow's leg was set without difficulty and he lay in bed and road the paper subsequently. Later the shock came and it was in the nature of a nervous collapse after the tension of the operation. The lad is still in a critical condition.?The State. Sunday, Dec. 7. Better Than a Plaster.

Among the Greeks and Romans al- I manucs or calendars were not written 1 for the general public, but were pre- ! served as part of the esoteric learning 1 of the priests, whom the people had to i consult not only for the dates of the c festivals, but for the proper times when c various legal proceedings might be in- a stituted. About 300 B. C., however, a one Encius Flavius, secretary to Ap- 1 pius Claudius, stole these secrets by re- ^ peated applications to the priests and ^ collated the information so gained. It ] was really publishing an almanac when, as Livy relates, Flavius exhibited the tasti on white tables around the forum. From this time similar tablets containing the calendar, the festivals, astronomical phenomena and sometimes allusions to historical events became quite common. They have been dug up in Pompeii and elsewhere. There are also extant Christian cal- ( endars dating as far back as the fourth < century, which give the names of the saints and other religious information. One of the most famous of the cal- ; ; endars of the middle ages Is that compiled by Fetrus of Dacla In A. D. 1300. p A manuscript copy is preserved In the ; Savillan library at Oxford. The sym' bollcal Man or Man of Signs (Homo . , Signorum), still a common feature In ] | almanacs, appears in this book, not, It ? I Is conjectured, for the first time, as it seems to have been a survival from the time of Ptolemy's "Almagesi," a collection of classic observations and problems relating to geometry and^astronomy. The first printed almanac was the "Pro Pluribus Annis," Issued at Vienna J Jn 1457 by an astronomer named Pur- ; bach. The earliest known almanac devoted expressly to the year of issue was published by Rabelais in 1533. Thenceforth the ephemeral yearly character of the publication came to be definitely recognized by almanac makers. Nostradamus set the fashloii of incorporating predictions of coming events Into almanacs, a fashion that has continued to this day In all purely . astrological brochures of this sort despite Intermittent efforts to suppress It by royal authority In Franco ; and elsewhere.?Era. i1 ____________ I WEATHER PROPHETS. i Blow out a candle, and if the wick continues long to smolder look for bad weather. If It goes out quickly, the weather will be fair. ) The twelve days after Christmas in' dicate the weather for the following I year. Each day In order shows the i weather for one month, s When It begins to snow, notice the size of the flakes. If they are very fine, the storm will be a long one; If ^ large, the storm will soon be over. 5 If the chickens come out while it i rains, It Is a sign that the storm Is to 3 be a long one. If they stand around under the shed, the storm will be short. When the cattle lie down as soon as ^ tney are turnea out to pasture in me r morning, It Is because they feel a rheumatic weariness In their bones, and you can look for rain soon. When a night passes and no dew - falls, it Is a sign it is going to rain. .
