This one tire abeenae of any well-directed indi vidual or combined attack upon tbe strongholds of iniquity and sin. One goee to chnrch—that is, a few pereoos do every Sunday—and listens to a list less, lifeless sermon on some abstract religions or academic subject, desding with tbe wrongs of the times In a gen eral way, if at all. Little or no good is Accomplished, and no one goee away de termined to lead a new life. We fear there are too many ministers preaching “tor a living”—following it as a btui* ness or profession. .These are afraid of the pew and consequently are guarded la their remarks oa nay prevalent vice. We believe in tbe direct application of a aermoa. “Thou art the man” was a convincing and unmistakable arraign* meat. David coold not mistake the ap plication. ’ Tiie churah today needs ministers who will not fear to make each arraignment. Whet shall the pulpit answer? In South Carolina there is vice, la Colleton County there le vice. What it the pulpit in South Carolina and Colle ton county doing to correct this vice? Are the men woo preach practicing what they preach? Are they Conse crated men and fearless men ? It re quires a high order of courage to stand up before a man or congregation of men and say: “Thou art the man.” In Walterboro am. Colleton county whiskey is sold from three modern bar* rooms. Tbis ^whiskey is year in and year ont levying its tribute oi brain end blood and brawn, adding its increased burden to thejwives, mothers and chil dren ; debauching oar yoang men and women and increasing the number of vj’aries at the shrine of wasted lives and wrecked komee and hopee and ambi tious. Tbis is not tbe only vice in Colleton oounty, it is troe,but it is t is wort;. What it the pulpit doing to cor- reet tbis state of affaire ? How many sermons, reader, have yon braid this year in which the minister pointed out these evils and pointing his finger at tbe guilty said: “Thou art tbe man!” la the state of Ueor^ia there is a little city called Csitersville. In Oar- temvllle there was a little Methodist minister, Sam Jones. Mr. Jones said Cartersville was not large enough to contain tie barrooms and himself. The barrooms werU In Colleton county there are three barrooms and numererons ministers of tbe gospel. In Walterboro there Is ONE modern barroom and FOUR ministers of tbe gospel! No comment is neces sary save : * By their works shall ye know them.” Let there not be a Nathan to say to any of these ministers, "Thou art the man 1” Poaches are not very plentiful this year; but there are •orae. Mr W H McConnell has sent The Knaurier a handsome specimen of the Triumph variety, mat ured along with a dozon others on a tree on his premises. The tree was protected from the frost by the house, and although all the peachos are somewhat faulty they are much better than no fruit.—Yorkville Enquirer. So York county uroduced 18 peaches this year, though com< what faulfy..Wo don’t know of a tingle one in Cheater county. And we give notice now that we don’t want anyboby to come poking in here telling ns that he has, or has had, peachos; along— not to show simply, for how can from Smoaks, written by F N B first, second by F N D.

At 11 o'clock we were (r {bred from tho capital “round for a parade or march llnough the streets to witncs-i the unveiling of Stuart’* Monument. but in forming the march there was fo much ccnfurion; or, in fact, 1 never did find the South Carolina Division. 1 heard afterwards that our commander was not at his poat of duty but was in a carriage with rotne ladies.

For surely it is and has been a grassy spot this season. The Sunday school of Taber* oacls had Children’s Day last Sunday Jane 28. The exercises were conducted by B L Jones. The recitations were- very good. Dr H W Black of Walterboro, made a splendid address in hir usual plain, jesting way. Be gave the young folks somo good advice admonishing them to bend their energies in the direction of- attaining useful manhood aud womanhood. Tbe audience was o. C very much disappointed when Dr Black stated that Mr M P How ell, Jr, could not be with them. Some hod understood that Kev. P C Qarris would come and tell us somethiug good and interest ing as he usually does, But he by some means didn’t get out very much to the regret of the people. % Everybody would have been glsd to have heard these two able speaking young men. We are having some dry wea ther which is enabling us to launch out in the ranks of Gen. Green aud make rapid strides of progress toward his destruc tion wfilch is very modifying it teems to the gallant ofd Gene r- al. The Branchville Journal came out last week. Tuo first issue was much better than we ex we were closer than brothers. But several of the old boys had to drop out before we got to the monument. There la one thing that yo* can say aboat the old Confoder* ate soldier, he may be stooped with many cummers and his sun may be fast setting behind the western hills, yet when they meet and talk over deeds done and services rendered for what they believed to be right and then listen to the strains of Dixie played by the band, he seems to forget"himself. They vie with each other to see who can jump, wrestle or give the never to be forgotten rebel yell as in days of old. Stnart’s monument is a worthy tribute to tlw. great cavalry gen eral of the civil war fame. These were about his last words when informed that the end was draw ing nigh : ,a I am willing to die if God and my country thinks 1 have done my dofy faithfully.” In my next I will tell of Mon day the great day of all days of all the sermons of the . U 0. V. in its history, from Thursday night until Monday. I know but very little of what was done. Friday and Saturday it rained all the time and was very cold. I contracted a cold from which I was confined to ray bed and under the treatment of a doctor much to my disappointment, for I wauled to and hear everything that was said or done. Later on I will tell Rev. Curtis what I Stylish Millinery It there is any little detail in your dress, that you would like to hare our opinion on, or any point in the styles we can explain to you, nothing would give ns more We desire to serve onr friends ud patrons am Remember we handle only the best values for the price and our business is to keep up with the latest and best in our line.

Every me should be Interested in learning how to avoid colds. The wav is simple- Never sleep too cold, never fell asleep In a cold room, or while sittiag la a cold draft, never sit or lie in a cold room or a cold draft. No one ever cathes a cold when the tody and sriad are active, no metier how arid ona may get If yon are suffering from a cold or Notices.
