Human life is certainly cheap in Bamberg
county when a man can wilfully
shoot down another and get off with ten
^ V years in the penitentiary. One need not
be surprised hereafter if good people take
the law into their own hands and mete
? -. out speedy punishment to evil doers.
Lynch law may confidently be expected
when judges and juries are too lenient.

We are sorry to say that the verdict
and sentence of Joe Davis for the killing
of Policeman J. B. King does not meet
with the approval of the general public.
V. Most people who have expressed themselves
say Davis was guilty of murder
and should have been hanged. Failing
in this, the judge should have given him
the full limit of thirty years. Sad to say,
our yeople are losing confidence in the
ability or disposition of the courts to
punish for the crime of murder, and this
no doubt has much to do with the great
j*' number of killings.

While living in High Point, Mr. Bulla
vrs& engaged in doing some collecting for
a Northern firm and in reply to an* in
quiry from them, wrote a letter that has
been copied all over the United States
? and in some English papers and it is
worth all th? notice that has been given,
it. Here it is:
High Point, N. C., Aug 28,1877.
John Smith & Co.,
Philadelphia, Pa.,
Gentlemen:?Replying to yours of the
18th inst., I have to say that for the prospect
of having claims placed in my hands
to collect and nothing more, I do not feel
willing to report the standing of the party
mentioned or of any one else. I do not
want to be misunderstood as saying that
I do not want paying business, but I do
know that a lawyer would starve as quick
on commissions as he would on corn-cob
soup in January.
3 have had some experience in collecting
since the war, or rather in trying to
collect. .1 have offered to compromise
claims by taking old clothes, frozen cabsk'
" bage, circus tickets, patent medicine,
whet stones, powder horns, old flour
barrels, gourds, coon skins, jaybirds, owls
or almost anything; and yet I have a
number of the old claims on hand unsettled.
If I were to depend on collectk
ing for a living, my bean broth would
* get so thin that it would rattle in me like
' ; - pot-liquor "in a poor dog.
tl don't want to shoot at long range,
but if you are inclined to pay anything
certain for the reports, I'm your mansay
ten dollars cash and them I'm in; or
if money is scarce I would take shoes,
large numbers, say 10's, ll's and 12's to
the amount of ten dollars at wholesale
prices.
It's hard times here; the niggers and
the Democrats have pulled and worried
each other until this whole country smells
like cheese. How in the world would
Pyou expect to collect money out of a
people who plow speckled bulls on hillsides?
If you were to see a nigger plowing
his gardeu with a sow, you would not
wonder why I don't want claims to collect
in this vicinity.
Your sincere frind,
J. R. Bulla.
Death of A. F. H. Dukes.
Branchville, April 20.?Mr. A. F. H.
"Dukes died at 1.25 this afternoon after an
illness of three months. Mr. Dukes has
suffered intensely and believed up until
a few days ago that that he was going
to get well. Mr. Dukes was one of the
most progressive citizens here and he will
be a great loss to this town and community.
- Mr. Dukes carried about $21,000 life insurance
and belonged to the following
orders: Masons, Knights of Pythias. D.
O. K. K., Knights of Honor, Knights and
Ladies of Honor and Woodmen of the
World.
Mr. Dukes was 53 years old and leaves
a wife and seven children to mourn his
loss.
Mr. Dukes was a consistent member of
the Methodist church here for a number
of years, at which church his funeral will
take place tomorrow afternoon at 3
o'clock. The interment will be at the
Branchville cemeterv.
The Masons and "Knights of Pythias
will probably conduct the burial services.

Mr. Dukes had lived here for thirty-five
years and was loved and respected by
many. He has represented the people several
times in the Legislature and at the
time of his death was a member of the
state board of control. Ho has been a
successful merchant for many )Tearsand a
progressive worker in every department
of enterprise.
He will probably be buried to morrow,
under the auspices of the different secret
societies of which he was a member.
The entire town deeply sympathize with
the family in their bereavement.
Marriage of a Popular Couple.
' Olar, April 18.?Mr. G. W. Jenny, of
Jennys, and Miss Rena Hitter, of Kearse,
were married at Mount Pleasant Lutherau
church Wednesday evening, the loth
instant, the Rev. E. P. Monroe officiating.
The attendants were Mr. Willie Aiken
R&st, of Cameron, best man, with Miss
Minnie Folk, of Georgetown, as maid of
honor, and Mr. H. A. Kearse and Miss
Marie Murdaugh, Mr. L. L. Wilson and
Miss Jennie Felder, Mr. J. O. Hitter and
Miss Bessie Jenny, Mr. G. E. Hitter and
Miss Bertha Bochmau, Mr. W. H. Miley
and Miss Alice Sease, Dr. G. W. I. Loadholt
and Miss Izora Miley, Mr. W. E.
Sease aud Miss Minnie Jenny, Mr. W. J.
Kearse and Miss Rosa Johns. Messrs.
G. B. Kearse, J. F. Chassereau, S. W.
Ussery and Dr. A. C. Reynolds were the
ushers.
After the marriage the bridal party,
friends and relatives returned to the
home of the bride where a reception was
given from 9 till 12. The refreshments
were plenteous and superb, and many
beautiful gifts were displayed.
The Churches and the People.
Sometime back 1 had the opportunity
of visiting a Catholic church with a e:
friend who himself was a Catholic. ^
During the time there was a revival meet I'
ing beigg carried on by an evangelist at t'
the Congregational church of Metliodists. 11
Presbyterians, and Baptists united on ac ?
count of it being the largest of the four e
churches. Duriug the services the Priest P
made the remark that the revival being ^
carried on at the Congregational church a
was a farce, and he did not wish for any b
of his members to visit their services, and
at the same time saying his was the S
ouly and true church. But he never even ''
spoke about the present conditions of life
only to ridicule other churches. And so
it is with all other ministers of the ditFer- a
ent churches. I suppose there are a great
many reasons why the church to-day is h
not all that it should be to the masses,
reasons some of them too subtle and too ^
profound for the most of us to under- v
stand, but is it not possible to find at least s
one likely cause in the character of the
men that the ministry attracts? a
I don't mean that the clerge lack char- ^
acter. I mean that the}' are the type of
men whose very training and taste and ^
natures place them apart from rather than
with the people. One man loving the
water goes to sea; a second with a liking
for speculation drifts ultimately into J
Wall street; a third, caring more perhaps "
for debate and power tliau for anything v
else in the world, is fairly certain sooner c
or later to be found in politics. So he s
who places culture and peace and un- I;
worldiness above all things else in life is v
?* - v _ i?i?j r *1.. _i ?
naturauy to oe xootieu iur 111 me euuieu. j
It is every man according to liis bent, n
My point is that the churchman's bent j
too often isolates him from the masses y
?from the very people who are most in t
need of his counsel and friendship. It s
has a strong tendency towards keeping g
him from being democratic, in fact the j
ecclesiastical body throughout the ages
has always been troubled by this tendency.
And because of this we see that many
churches to-day have left the center of
the city where the average man lives, <:
suffers, works, hopes, and despairs, and r
have retreated not along the line of the t
greatest need but along the line of the i
least resistance to the outskirts of our t
cities where the surroundings are fairer (i
and the struggle for existence a little less \
apparent. Culture and commonalty unfortunately
rarely go hand in hand. The t
man who likes books and retirement and
the aesthetic things of life is not often the
man who wants to get down among his
fellow-men and live with them, work r
with them, and fight with them. Many 1
clergymen are deficient physically in a
vitality just as many men who are not of
the clergy. They are nerveless and bloodless,
interested mainly in what the closet
life affords. They shrink from publicity,
from strife, and from the details of the
commonplace. This is nothing either for 1
or against them; they are simply as God <
made them. But these very characteris- <
tics of theirs keep them from working 1
out with lower classes the social and industrial
difficulties that face them. Many <
other ministers by nature progressive are 1
so hedered about bv the unwritten cus- ]
toms of their particular congregations i
that tbey are debarrred from being unduly !
strenuous; it would be undecorous of 1
them to urge a thing vehemently. Still ,
others are restricted in their work by the
church articles which they have signed.
Here you see are several reasons why
the pulpit is kept from being a factor to
be reckoned with in the causes that confront
men to-day. The church can never
be anything more than the men of which
it is made up. If they fail to keep in
touch witn the everyday questions of the
people the church itself will fail to keep
in touch. And I am inclined to believe ,
that the majority of ministers have failed j
to keep in touch with the people, which
accounts largely for the truth which Professor
Ladd, of Yale, recently uttered
when he said the ethical condition of the
church to-day is relatively low and nerve- ]
less; and which accounts also for the <
truth of the cynical remark a certain un- ;
scrupulous party boss made years ago. |
Politicians care nothing about the church vote,
but they respect the saloon vote, for <
that goes solid. <
The church because of its very nature
is calculated to be the greatest institution (
in the land to guide and inspire mau. j
Why does it not then fulfill its function ? <
Why does it persistently remain in the ]
background and allow men to be guided ]
and bossed by less desirable factors? ]
Whjr does it not secularize its religion
more? I have so little patience with |
those ministers who, Sunday after Sunday,
year in and year out, are satisfied to fall j
back on the bible for a text aud frame a
dull discourse around it when texts by
hnnrirpric in t.hp vprr lifp fthnnt Hipni are
J ? "
crying out for discussion and solution.
Why, pray, is it wrong for a clergyman j
to speak strong and sharply of the things <
of the time in which he lives? Christ did
it. He concerned Himself directly with j
the social and political life of His day, j
yet the modern churchman, His supposed <
disciple, shuns all subjects that deal
with the current men and movements.
For myself, I feet that these are the very
things he is best fitted to interpret for
the people. Why should he not then ;
stand up and counsel his hearers concerning
what vitally affects them here ,
and now, rather than preach to them ,
about Old Testament doings or what the <
hereafter may have in store for us ? Let
him tell us how to live the present, and j
the future we may well believe will take
care of itself.
Take Dr. Rainsford, Bishop Potter, and
Archbishop Ireland, and consider what <
men of affairs and good citizens they are ,
in addition to being men of the cloth. |
With other clergymen equally well (
known they are always active and alert i
in the cause of good-citzenship aud right
living, and their efforts have yielded very ]
definite and very profitable results. " 1
It would be a distinct gain for the in- <
flueuce of the church if more ministers
followed their example. Professor Ladd's <
criticisim, which, strange to say, no ,
churchman of special distinction has seen y
fit to contradict, would then perhaps be
partially shorn of its lamentable truth. f

"May I come in?" asked the careworn
shape as St. Peter appeared in response
to his knock at the gate.
"What was your occupation while on
earth?" asked the veteran gate-keeper. v
"I published a weekly newspaper," re- h
plied the applicant. _ v
"Of course it had the largest circulation a
in the county ?" said the old man in a h
tone that savored of sarcasm. tl
"No, the smallest," answered the man a
outside the golden portals. E
And after St. Peter had recovered from

All About King Solomon.
An Illinois boy was asked to write an
ssay on Masonry and this is what he f
rote: "King Solomon was a man who ?
ved many years ago, and the people in j
lie count ry where he lived thought he was t
lie whole push. He was an awful wise S
urn and one day two women came to him, 1
aeh holding to the leg of a baby, nearly t
idling it in two,and each claiming it. Au'd t
Ling Solomon wasn't feeling right good t
ml said: 'Why couldn't that brat have 1
een born twins and stop all this bother?' 1
md he called for his machete and was i
oing to Weylerize the poor, innocent 1
iltle baby, when the real mother of the f
aby said: 'Let the old hag have it. If I s
an't have the whole baby I won't have 1
ny.' Then Solomon told her to take the ]
aby, for he knew it was hers, and to go i
Dine and wash its face. He told the j
ther womau to go chase herself. Kiug '
iolomon built Solomon's Temple and s
ias the father of all Masons. He had 1
even hundred wivesaud three hundred I
idy friends, and that's the reason there t
re so many Masons. Papa says King i
iolomon was a warm member and I t hink 1
e was the hot stuff myself. That is all I i
now about King Solomon." s

Two False Starts.
The pastor of a wealthy up town congregation
was startled from his dreams a few 1
lights ago by the vigorous ringing of his 1
loor-bell, some time after midnight. Raisng
the window, he thrust his head out in
he chilly atmosphere of the night and in
i tone almost frigid as the winds inquired
vho was there.
"Is Rev. Dr. Blank at home?" came from
he stoop below.
"I am Rev. Dr. Blank; who are you, and
vhat do you want?"
"Myself and the lady with me wish to be
narried, sir. Please don't refuse us; she is
ocked out at home and won't go to a hotel
vith me unless we are married."
"How old are you?"
"Twenty-three."
"How old is the young lady?"
"Twenty-one, sir."
"Very well. Get ready, I'll marry you
ivhere you stand. Are you all ready? Listen
closely then, so that you can hear the
ceremony. Man that is born of womanhath
but a short time to live?no that's wrong.
Waita minute. I'll begin again. Father, we
come to consecrate this child?oh pshaw,
that's wrong, too," and turning his head
be called to his wvfe,"Sallie, Sallie, bring
me ray discipline, and turn to the marriage
service quick, here's a young man waiting
to take a girltoa hotel with him. She won't
go till they've been married and I've already
started to bury them and came very
near baptizing the child."

Marriage Notices in Old New York.
In searching the files of some old
papers recently the writer came across
some very unique marriage notices which
are well worth preserving. It was customary
for the editor to make some personal
allusion to the wedding, not in the news
columns, but immediately following the
announcement. Sometimes friends would
attach gags and queer doggerel, very uncomplimentary
to the newly wedded pair,
and some of the editorial comments were
enough to place him in peril had it not
neen that the bridegroom rarely saw the
notice until long after the honeymoon
bad waned.

in "Tne JNew rora weeitiy museum
for June 1,1814, appeared the following:
"On Saturday, May 14, at Charlton,

To which the editor appended the
words:
"A very cold hard match."
On March 11,1815, this notice appeared
in "The Museum," under the heading
'Nuptial:"
"In Charleston, S. C., January 31.?Mr.
Stephen Lyon, of New York, to Miss
Rebecca Lamb.
' 'The happy time at length's arrived
In Scripture days foretold,

read thus:
"At Blooming Grove?Mr. John Reeder,

:>f the former place:
' 'One volume of the 'Rights of Man'
From maiden errors freed her,
She saw the title, liked the plan
And soon became a Reeder.' "
In "The New Haven Athenaeum" of
August 6,1814, there appeared a notice
which naturally attracted attention because
of the strange appropriateness of
,he names of all parties concerned. The
editor, evidently a wag, appended a few
words, the whole reading as follows:
"Married at Peterville, August 1, by
Rev. Dr. Cannon. Mr. G. Powder, to

A Sweet Breath
Is a never failing, sign of a healthy .
stomach. Wheu the breath is bad the
stomach is out of order. There is no i
remedy in the world equal to Kodol Dys- J
pepsia Cure for curing indigestion, dys- ;
pepsia and all stomach disorders. Mrs.
Mary S. Crick, of White P.ains, Ky., ]
writes: "I have been a dyspeptic for years J
?tried all kinds of remedies but continued
to grow worse. By the use of
Kodol I began to improve at once, and
after taking a few bottles am fully restored
in weight, health and strength and
can eat whatever I like. Kodol digests
what you eat and makes the stomach ]
