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.

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

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.”

HOW TO AVOID CATCHING COLDS
