Br. Talmage Arraign'* People Who
Live Beyond Their Means. w
ol
la this disoourso Dr. Talmago shows g<
the oaases of tho great financial die* m
turbanoos which tako plaoe every few *'
years and arraigns tho people who livo *
beyond their means; text, Jeremiah ?
xvii, 11, "As the partridgo sitteth on
eggs and hatohoth thorn not, so ho that
"getteth riohes, and not by right, shall V
loavo thorn in tho midst of bis days
and at hiR nncl nliall Via ?. fnnl "
Allusion is hero made to a well known ,,
faot in natural history. If a partridgo
or a quail or a robin brood tho eggs of '
auothor speoies, tho young will not ^
stay with tho ono that happened to
brood them, but at tho first opportuni- ^
ty will assort with thoir own spooicB. ^
Thoso of us who havo boon brought up w
in the oountry havo soon tho dismay w
of the farmyard hen, having brooded
aquatic fowls, when after awhilo thoy (,
tumble into thoir natural elomont, tho
wator. So my text suggests that a
man may gather undor his wings the
property of others, but it will after
awhilo esoapo. It will leavo tho man ,
in a sorry prodioamont and wako him
feel very silly.
What has caused all tho black days D
of finanoial disasters of tbo last GO
years? Somo say it is tho orodit bjb- ,
torn. Somothing back of that. Somo
say it is tho spirit of gambling ovor and ,
anon becoming opidemio. Somothing v
baokofthat. Some say it is tho suddon
shrinkage in tho valuo of seouritics,
whioh ovon tho most honost end intol- '
ligont mon could not havo forosccn. ?
Something back of that. I will give .
you tho primal oauso of all theso dis- .
turbanoos. It is tho extravagance of 1
modern Booioty whioh impols a man to 0
spend more money than ho can hon- 2
estly make, and ho goas into wild (
speculation in order to got tho moans a
for inordinate display, and somotimcs s'
tho man is to blamo and sometimes his *
wifo and oftonor both. Five thousand
dollars inoomo, 110,000, $20,000 inoome,
is not enough for a man to keop
up tho stylo of living ho proposes, and J1
theroforo ho stoors his bark toward tho 1
maelstrom. Othor men havo suddenly Kj]
snatched up $50,000 or $100,000. Why \l
not he? Tho present incamo of tho
man not being largo enough, ho must l:
movo oarth and hell to catoh up with
his neighbors. Others havo a oountry
nntt' nn mnut Vio (lllinra ti.i.n ?? ^
travagant oatoror; so must lie. Others
havo a palatial residence; so must ho. ,,
Extravaganoo is tho oauso of all tho
defalcations of tho last 60 years, and, if
you will go through tho history of all
the great panics and tho great financial 1
disturbances, no sooner havo you found 5
the story than right baok of it you will ^
find tho story of how many horsos tho
man had, how many carriages tho man \
had, how many residences in tho ooun ,
try tho man had, how many banquets j
tho man gavo?always, and not one ex- !
eeption for the last 60 years, either
direotly or indirectly extravagance the
oauBC. j

ments and the decorations of life. 1 g

havo made tho earth so as to supply the j,
gross domands of sense, but left it with j,
out adornment or atiraotion. Instead 0
of tho variegated oolors of the sea- |
Bons tho earth might havo worn an un- c

Extravagance accounts for tho dislrbacoo
of national finances. Aggregaons
arc made up of units, and when
no half of the pcoplo of this country
wo the other half how can wo expect
nanciil prosperity? Again and sgam
t tho national election wo have had a
pasrn of virtuo, and wo said, "Out
ith ono administration and in with anther
and let us have a now deal of
lings and thon wo will get all over our
orturbation." I do not oaro who is
residont or who is secretary of the
casury or how inuoh breadstuff*! go

obts and it becomes a general theory
l this ocuntry that men must buy no
lore than they can pay for. Until
lat time comes there will be no perlancnt
prosperity. Look at tho porniious
extravagance. Take the one faot

that thore ere mon whodio solvent, but
the exponaee are so great before they got

are families the* go into penury in wioked

They put in casket and loaibstoue that

Ono would think that tho Wst two
obligations people wculd be particular
about would be to tho physician and tho
undertaker. Booauso they aro the two
last obligations thoso two professions
are almost always oheated. They send
for the dootor in great haste, and ho
mast oome day a id night. They Fend
for tho undertaker amid tho great
solemnities, and ofton those two iuon
are the vory last to bo mot with compensation.
Merchants soli goods, and
tho goods aro not paid for. They tako
back the goods, 1 am told. Bat thero
is no reliof in this esse. The man spent
all bo had in laxuriesand extravagance
while ho lived., and then ho goes out of
tho word and has left nothing for his
family, nothing for the obsoquios, and
as ho goos out of the world he stoals tho
doctor's pills and tho undortakor's slippers.
1 was reading in a Now York paper
an aooounl of tho obsoquios in a
family of very moderate ostato, and tho
aggregato was $-'1,000. A man in Now
York of mouurato ostato dies. Ho has
livod in extromo luxury. Ho doparts this
life. The family, desirous of keopiDg up
tho magniGconoo, orders tho following
things; they wore produced and never
paid for to this day:
Casket, covered with Lyons velvet,
silver moldings $ 850
Heavy plaited handles l>0
Solid silver plate, engraved in Roman
letters 75
Ten linen scarfs 150
Floral decorations 225
Muaio and quartet choir at tho house... 40
Twenty carnages 140
Then 15 other important expenditures
amounting to 33G
Making an aggregate of $1,870
And all ihat to get one poor mortal to
his last homo and never paid fot! 1*5 win
died his family! Swindled tho world!
ilo is swindling it now. It is one of the
great oursts of this day, the oxtrava
ganco, the wicked extravagance, of tho
country.
And then look how tho oauso of God
is impoverished. Men givo so muoh
sometimes for thoir indulgences they
havo nothing for tho oauso of God and
religion. Twonty-two million dollars expended
in this country a year for religious
purposes! But what aro thotweu
ly-two millions expended for religion
compared with the hundred millions ox
ponded on oigars and tobacco and then
two thousand millions of dollars spent
for rum? So a man who had a fortuno
of $750,(100, cr what amounted to that,
iu London spent it all in indulgences,
chiefly in gluttonies, and sont hither
and you for all tho delicacies and often
nan a meat tnat would 0081*1 DO or *200
for himself. Then ho was reduced to a
guinoa, with which ho bought a rare
bird, had it eeoked iu best style, a'e it,
took two hours for digestion, walked
out on Westminster bridgo and jumped
into tho Thames?on a largo scaie what
men aro doing on a small soalo.
Oh, my friends, let us take our stand
against tho extravagances of society. Do
not pay for things which are frivolous
whou you may lack too necessities. Do
not put ono month's wagos or salary i mo
a triokot, just ono triukot. Keep your
orodit good by seldom asking for any.
Pay! Do not starve a whole year to af
ford ono lielshazlar's oaroiv&l. Dj not
buy a ooat of many oolors and then in
six months be out at the elbows. Flour
ish not, as some people 1 bavo known,
who took apartments at a fashionable
hotel and had elegant drawing rooms at
taohed and then vanishod iu the night,
not even leaving their oompliments for
tho iaodloid 1 toll you my friends, in
the day of God's judgment wo will not
only have to give an account for the way
wo made our monoy, but for tho way
wo spont it. Wo have got to leave all
the things that surround us now.
Alas, if any of you in tho dying hour
felt like the dying actress who asked
that tho casket of jewels bo brought to
hor and then turned thorn over with her
pale bar.)l and said, "A<.a\ that 1 have
to leavo you bo boou! ' Better in that
hour have ono iroasuro of heaven than
tho bridal trousseau of a Maiie Antoi
notto or to have been seated with Caligula
at a banquet which oost its thousands
of dollars or to have boon carriod
to our last resting placo with senators
and princos as pallbearers. They that
eonseorato their wealth, their time, their
all, to God shall bo held in ovcrlasting
remembrance, while 1 have tho authority
of this book for announoing that the
name of tho wicked shall rot.

COTTON HAS IMPROVED
Bat the Catlook for a Corn Crop
it Gloomy.
Tho following is tho weekly bulletin
of tho condition of the weather and
the orops issued Wednesday by Director
Bauer of tho South Carolina sco
tion of the olimat? and orop service of
tho United States woathcr bureau:
Tho week ending 8 a. m., Monday,
July 15th, had ooarly normal temperature,
bat was slightly cooler than
usual over tho southeastern portion,
whero there was also a defioiecoy in
sunshine. Tho week's maximum was
100 at Blaokvilln on tho 12ih, and tho
minimum was (15 at Greenville and
"ipartauburg on thoh, 10 hand lUh.
Thero was one severe local storm in
Piokons aouaty, and thero woro high,
drying winds daring the middle of tho
week throughout tho State.
Showers wore frequent, and somo
quite heavy, along tho southeastern
coast and over tho northeastern oouuties,
and thero were light scattered
showers elsowhore, but gonorally
throughout tho State thero was no rain
until tho 14th, when showery oondi
tioas provailed over tho wholo State
Pain was badly needed for all arops,
although tho absonce of rain was favorablo
for oloaning orops and giving
them muoh needed cultivation. Some
holds aro still grassy, and will either
bo abandoned or allowed to mako what
they will in thoir foul oonditiou.
Cotton improvod under cultivation,
and, although still vory small, looks
hoalthy and is fruiting better than last
week. Most of the fields have been
oleaned of grass, and tho plants aro
growing slowly. Ia plr.coa cotton continues
to havo a yellow oolor, and there
aro reports of shedding loavos and
squares. Soa island is thriving, but
the plantB aro dwarfed, and blight is
present in spots.
Old oorn iB extremely poor and will
soarcely mako half an avorago orop,
while later plantings are more promising.
Bottom land oorn is praatioally
a failure. In oortain widoly separated
sfc'iona tho oorn crop is exoollont, but
its avorago condition is low.
Tobaoco cutting and outing made
rapid progress. In looalitios an improvement
in oondition is noted, whilo
generally tho orop remains poor and
inforior.
Rice is thriving and responds to out
tivation, but in Colleton county caterpillars
aro doing great damago. Mel
ons arc only beginning to ripen and
will have pior yields. Sugaroano, sorghum
and peas are doing nicely.
Sweet potatoes look promising. Tho
dry weather caused pastures to tail
rapidly, l'eaohos and grapeH aro still
rotting, but not so extensively as heretofore.
Apples oantinno to drop.

lomt, a cattle disease, -which has formerly
bei n confined to Texas and other
western ctates, has mado its appear
anoo in north Georgia in tho neighborhood
of Lost Mountain, and a large
number of cattle areatfccted by it. The
first symptoms of tho disease are a
sweliiDg of tho animals oyes, whioh
turn whito. The pupil oontre^ts into
a small ball and the eyes hava a tendency
to bulgo from their sockets. Tho
animals appear to be cryitig, and the
il >w of acqueous humor seems to scald
the hair trom tho faoo. Tho animal
finally becomes totally blind nod it is
not ablo to feed or water itself. It is
then considered a kindness to kill it and
not allow it to wander around tho fields
enable to take oaro of i'self. The
rcuiody of tho diseaso is to isolato the
ease and uso antiseptic washes. Also
to keep tho animal from tho light as
that aggravates the diseaso. Dr. flonry

are using the Ficsen tubo and
othor apparatus for similar purposes
in troatiug oertain affoouons. O .e of
those physioianss is Dr. Margaret A.
Cleaves.
According to a roport Dr. loosen had
effected up to December 31, 1899, 311

It is said that the most oonolusivo

SECOND CLASS MAIL MATTER.
Important Order Issued by Postmaster
GeneralA
special from Washington Wednesday
says Postmaster General Smith to
day signed thrco ordors amending id
important particulars thrco postal regulations
effecting second class mail
matter. Tho changes will effect sweep
ing and radioal reforms in tho department
practices and methods of treating
thia class of matter.
Tho fitst order amends Section 276,
whioh is tho general definition, so as
to czcludo from tho scoond e'ass publi
cations which have the oharacteribtios
of books. This amendment is in thote
words:
Periodical publications herein referred
to aro heli not to include those
having the characteristics of books,
but only such as consist of current
news or miscollanoous literary matter,
or both, (not excluding advertising)
and conform to the statutory charac
tcristcs of Bcoond class matter."
rr i v ~
i no second oraer amends Section
281 in several particulars the princi
pal one hoing that publications, the
subscriptions to which arc notfoundod
on their value as news or literary
journals, and which by tho general use
of premium or other considerations in
the form of chanocs to win prizes, etc.,
to induce subscriptions, in effect circulate
at apparently a nominal rate,
will bo excluded from tho second class.
Tho essential paragraph of this is as
follows:
"Tho subscription price must bo
shown by tho publicatibn, and whon it
appears from tho contents, or from tho
extrinsic inducements offered in oom
b:uation with it, that tho circulation of
the publication is not founded on its
valuo as a news or literary journal,
and thai subscriptions aro not made
because of such va'.uo, but bccauso its
offers of morchandios or other oonsidcr
ation result, in cffut, in its circulation
at apparently a nominal rate, suoh
publication does not come within tho
requirements of tho law for acceptance
as socond class matter.'
Tho third ordor amends Section 301,
so that insold oopios of sooond class
publications may not bo roturnod at
tho pound rate to news agents or to
publishers.
Au explanatory c.. ^cnt givon out
at tho department regarding tho ordor
says:
The action of 1'oai.mastor General
Smith is regarded as highly important.
It is ovidonoo of tho purpose of the dopartmont
to administor tho law as it
is strictly and properly and that
abuses wborovcr found will bo eradicated.
Loose and inditforont interpretation
herotoforo is responsible for tho
loss of many millions to tho government.
It is boliovod that whon tho
< il jot oi the changes is thoroughly established
many postal improvements
will follow, and ono cent letter Dost
agj will bo made possiblo."
Behaved Badly.
G jv. MoSwccdot roocived a letter
Friday from Sheriff Jno. It. Logan of
York county tolling him of tho very
pcouliar action of a North Carolina
sheriff. Somo time ago Sheriff Logan
askod tho North Carolina sheriff to
arrest for him ono James L'ndsay, a
negro, wanted in York oounty for murder.
Tho sheriff at Xowton, N. CM
did arrest Lindsay and notified Sheriff
Logan, stating that the fellow was
willing to oue without a requisition.
Tho South Carolina sheriff had already
informed tho North Carolit a offijer
that thcro was no reward for tho negro.
Sheriff L >gao sent a deputy on to bring
tho negto luck. Tho North Carolina
sheriff refused to givo him up, saying
that ho would not do so without a reward
and threatened even to turn tho
negro looso. Tho deputy oarno back
without his man. Then Sheriff L )?an
informed Gov. McS^ocnoy and Friday
requisition papers were issued upon the
governor of North Carolina and Sheriff
Liganistogo on to Njwton himself.
Gov. McSwceney will probably report
tho very reprehensible oondaot of tho
North Caroliaa ofBcor to tho governor
of North Carolina for such action as he

J. C. Wilborn,
Chairman.
0. W. G arris,
J. H. Wharton,
Commissioners.
D P. Duncan, Scoretary.
In speaking of tho new storage rules
Commissioner Garris, who has given
tho maltor much study, Friday Baid:
"The new rules practically doublo the
froo timo heretofore allowed by tho
roads, investigation disoloses that tho
freights removed, upon whioh storage
has heretoforo boon assessed, havo remained
from ono to t>0 days of the
storago period within the oustody of
tho roads, making it very fair to estimate
20 days as an average period upon
whioh storago has been charged on
freights. For this average period tho
commissioners soalo shows a 50 per
cent, tcduotion.
"The interest of shippors who live at
a distaooo is duly cared for in rule 5,
while rule 0 makes inclement weather
and bad roads an element of oondsidoration
in reckoning timo.
"Tho oommissioa had beforo it tho
railroad storago regulations in forco
throughout tho south and west, thus
enabling it to give South Carolina a
sot of rules carved from tho best practices
of tfio whole country."
After H Desperado.
Sheriff Martin has font a posse to tho
wild country abovo Charleston to search
the swamps fcr William Johnson, a colored
dosporado. who has thn snntinn in
ft wild state of icrror. Johnson is
wanted for murder. A day or two ago
ho kuicd William Barns without provoufttion,
and threatened to kill any of
the Utter s frietdi if thoy interfered.
The naaao morning ha shot another
negro r.nniod Smith. Sj ith and a
orowd were playing tbo gamo of ikin.
Johnson said that if his card ?ho wad
somebody would bo killed, and a few
m*nuiwa later when hu was forced to
drop out of tho gains ho drew Lis pistol
and bored a hoio through Smith's
body. After tho shooting ho tossed
his hat on the ground, drew another
pistol aud ordered all tho players to doposit
their cash in tho hat. Thoy did
so in quiok order. As soon as he had
pocketed tho uionoy, Johnson tired a
volley to provo to tho nogroes that ho
meant business, and then walkod away.
VVlit u ho killed Burns tho omstablos
in tho neighborhood stated on his
trail, but they thought it wiser to lot
him go. The posso from the oity is
making a careful scaroh for the desperado.
