Paul once stirred up Ephesus witl some lively sermons about the sins o that place. Among the most import ant results of these sermons wes tin faot that the citizens broughc ou their bad books and papers and in j public place made a bonfire of them One of the wants of this cammunit; ls a great bonfire of bad books am newspapers. We have in this vicinlt: enough of such fuel to make a bia/. 500 feet high. Take forth this trasl and put it into the lire, and let lt b< known In the presence of God ami - angels and naen that you are going ti ria your homes of this curse of prudi gate literature. We believe it ls in tended that the printing-press shall be a means for the world'3 rescue and evangelization. The great last battle of the world will not be fuught with swords and guns, but with types and presses, a purified literature triumph lng over and crushing out forever that which is depraved. The great est blessing that ever came to this nation is that of an elevated litera ture, and the greatest scuurge has been that of unclean literature. This last has its victims In all departments of life. It has helped to till insane asylums and penitentiaries. The London plague was nothing to it. "What boo'.;s and papers do you read? A newspaper is onlv a buok In a swllter and more portable sbape. In selecting your papers do you make no distinction between the tree of life and the tree of death? Cherish good books and newspapers. Beware of the bad ones. Benjimin Franklin said that thc reading of Cotton Math er's essay on "Doing Good" molded his entire life. May not the reading of this Home Circle Column, crude though it mayjbe, have an intluence upon your children in molding their lives while they are yet easily Im pressed. Wo strive hard to keep the columns of this paper clean and pure so lt can be warmly welcomed into the best homes of this community. In our nest issue we will have some thing to say abuut novel reading. ? # KOND OK CONTENTION. As Individuals, as families, commu nities and even as nations wo seem to be coming more fond of contentions. It is contentions more than auy other one thing that takes from the Home Circle its every charm. Kussia and Japan at the present time are only samples of the o .intention that can be found in too many humes. In this country where our blue skies are full of robins and doves and meadowlarks, we select as our national symbol, the fierce and filthy eagle. In Great Brltlan where they have lambs and deer their symbol ls the merciless Hon. In Russia, where from between her frozen north ami blooming south all kinds of beasts abide, they choose as their smybol the growling bear. So fond are we of contention tbat we climb out through the heavens and baptize one of the other planets with tho spirit of battle and call lt Mars after the god of war. Wo suppose cur readers ha\e noticed how warmiy in love dry goorls stores are with other dry goods stores, and how highly grocerymen think Of the sugars of the groceryman in the same block.

"Another important fact," says 1 "ls that the pupa in its cell resemb very closely the cotton seed itself a the two cannot be distinguished i cept by trained eyes. "The pupa, which ls the interme ate stage between larva and adult, found imbedded in the bjlls and wi the cotton is ginned these pupae 1 through with thc seed without bel hurt In the least and if the seed , shipped away the pupae go too a soon we have another infected c trict." On the mount which Prof. Cha bliss has prepared ls a striking pict' showing the similarity between c ton seed and the pupae cells. The t are the same size and outward ape ance and it would be impossible clean infected seed after the cells once mixed, unless they were piel out one at a time, which would be together out of the question. THE Republican state conventiot Montana, which nominated Willi Lindsay for Governor, felt c mstraii to take a hand in Colorado polit also, which it did by ar?opth^ resolution denouncing the Republic Governor of the latter state for h'gh-handed and unlawful actloi: deporting citizvns for alleged crlrc without "due pro'ess of law." TniiKE is nothing the thought voter should Investigate KO cloicly the government expend?;urea i receipts. The Roosevelt admlnist Mon and the Republican Congi seem perfectly reckless about how taxpayers' money ls expended. WI under the last year of the hist Der eratic administration the Army i Navy cost $82,000,000, thc pres expenditures for those purposes costing 8*217,000,000. Tine facts that Chairman Cortel; has been promised the ofllce of Pc master General, and that while was Secretary of thc Departmenl Commerce and Labor, he beca familiar with many Important t poration secrets, and that as heat the l'ostulllco Department, he \ have to deal with large maii-carry railway systems, explain the power has as chairman to pull the legs the corporation bosses.

' KErUllLlCANS GIVE Ul" lNDIAXA. Democratic campaign managers sc ! in the refusal of the uatioual Rspubl can committee to send any of il ' prominent speikcrs to Indiana a t abandonment cf the state by Republ ' cans rather than a belief that tb ' state is safely Republican wi toot further campaigning. That th ' excuse given by the Rep?blica managers is both bald and lame shown by the fact that Indian leaders are wroth at tho determin; tion of the national ci mmlttee togi\ Ne-v York and other states all tb good things in the oratorical lim while Indiana gets lesser lights. J the state were safely Republican, as Democrats with a smile, why shoul the action of the national commiltt came such construction in Republ can ranks. Mhot Two Mun. At springfield, Mass., Dr. Edwai J. Heit Saturday evening shot .luise Strong, a wealthy real estate mai and Dr. Benjamin Jackson, a medici electrician and then took carbol acid. Dr. Belt died in the Mere hospital half an hour later, .ludsc Strong's wound is serious and be ma die. Belt was a graduate of 1 larval and his home was in South Bostoi Ile had been in Springfield thre years. Dr. Belt occupied an olllce i .Judson Strong's block. He entert Mr. .Strong's office where the tatt? was engaged in conversation willi D Jacks ii and immediately opened Iii on them with a ;?2 calibre revolve Two bullets entered .Mr. Strong's le j iw, one lodging in the throat.

The three men were remo ed to Mercy hospital, where Belt dh a short time afterwards. Previous l ibe shooting of the two men it alleged that Dr. Belt bad made ; attempt to kill Miss Amelia Duma to whom he was engaged.

At New York while a heavy, slur which broke during the night was its height, three coal-laden can boats, each with a family on boa tore loos2 from their moorings In tl Bast river and swept, down th rou; Hell Gate past Blackwells Island ai into a wider stretch of the rive where all trace of them was los Their piogress to this point was tra ed by cries fjr help from those < board the little craft, but the swi current in the river soon carried the far out toward the stonn-swopt ba Tho police, after valdly trying to s cure some tug boat or other craft go to the rescue of imperiled boat notltled the various ferry linc s, li boats and railroad tug boat line watch for them. Although a contin ous search was made for the missil boats, no trace of them has bei found this afternoon. J? and robbers ..o contri j enable tbe continue in .e of robbing tbe democrats are not j money from such just look to the people .ivor of Democratic suc the campaign chest with j contributions. There are of . some rich Democrats and some ^rations that contribute to tbe mocratio fund, hut all the money .nus obtained would not equal the fat Tried out of a singe trust by Roose velt's man, Cortelyou. The Democratic National Commit tee needs money and is not ashamed or afraid to say so. George Foster Peabody, the treasurer of the commit tee, would be glad to receive contri butions, large or small. Ile would welcome suras as small as half a dol lar. Mr. Peabody encourages the mak ing of small contributions. Ile would rather receive 3100 from one t! jinked persons in sums of one dollar each than the like sum from a single.indi vidual. Mr. Peabody hopes io bc fav ored with many small contributions from the south. Himself a native of Georgia, he says it would please him immensely to have the D?mocrate bf his old home state evince their inter est in the cause in this practical way. He would be glad to have the Dem ocrats in other southern states join. And why not? No portion of the country would receive greater benefit from the election of Parker and Davis than the south; no portiou has so much to fear from the election of Roosevelt as the south. It would be a handsome thing for Orangebuig County to raise at last one hundred dollars to hi lp the good cause along. The Times and Democrat expects to make a. small contribution to the Democratic campaign fund and would gladly receive contributions from others for the same purpose. All con tributions will be acknowledged in these columns. Let every man do bis 3uty. Lost in Turritlc (Jaie. A dispatch from Chatham, Mass., >ay? a small part of the forward sec tion of the hull and a slanting fore ma: t stood as mute reminders of the tragedy enacted there Friday night ivl:en tiie three-masted schooner Wentworth of Moncton, N. Ii., struck >n Chatham bar during a raging north irly gale and all on board perished in die terrific seas. With the exception >f the loss of tlie steamer Portland In November, 185)8, the wreck of the Wentworth is the worth disister that las occurred on the Cape Cod coast luring the last decade. Of the 12 jersons who were on board the strand id vessel, not one reached the shore dive, although two bodies were res ined from the surf Friday morning, me of them that of a woman, be loved to be the wife of the captain. iVIth her three children she was ac lompanylhg her husband on a trip rom Hillsboro, N.

A triple tragedy occured about bree and a half miles east of Plano Pesas, Thursday afternoon when Will iocbran, a blind man who has been 'parated from his wife for about six vioUs, led hy his nephew, tifteon tars old, called at his mother-in iw's house, entered tho front door, ailed for his wife. When she sat down iy him he grabbed her, stabbing her o death with a dirk and then killed i's mother-in-law, Mrs James Skel on, seventy-three years old. He then bilked around the house about wenty-tive yards, stuck his dirk hi he ground, and pulling out a pisto', hot his brains out and died instantly. Must Too tho Mark. Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam lany Hall, said Thursday that he had int notices to tho 50 or more candl ati s on the county Democratic ticket [..questing them to decline endorse nut by any party other than their wo.

Ile ? dd them to dov/n him, and tbe-ir ' .lestions only served to elicit bis bit- ' mg epigrams. ' "I've got so much devilment in mo tonight, 1 want to throw out some heell?re in your direction," lie said, and that started things: "Why should tbe laboring man vote ' or Parket?" shouted Mrs. Lillian 1 Forberg, one of the most insistent of ' the. Socialists present. "Why," thundered Senator Till man, "because if you were in he'l 5 wouldn't you like to get into purga- 1 tory a while." Again, when the Sieialists wt re | harassing him on all sides, he yelled, . "Any Socialist who votes for Debs in 1 preference to Parker is spitting in bis ' own face and is a donkey." Ile was proclaiming the principles ' of Bryan-lt was much more a Bryan 1 than a Parker meeting throughout- 1 when some one asked him woy bryan ' hadn't been elected. "Because you peopledinn't vote the ' way you whoop. When a man talks 1 one way and votes another, God have ] mercy on his soul, because the devil j has a bill cf sale on him." Picking up the pink card, upon 1 which the Sjcialists had printed a list j of questions for him to auswer, Seua 1 tor Tillman exclaimed: "Socialism, social equality on the one side, yes, and amalgamation of races, and hell and damnation on the other." His choicest invectives, however, were saved for President 'ftdosevelt, whose policy towatds the blacks in | the South he bitterly assailed. "If a nigger is good enough for the President to eat with, he Ought to be Hood enough for him to sleep with," he said. ' Nigger," explained the Senator, "means a black man, and is the phrase , used colloquially when spoken. Negr . is the term you us.i when j ou write . and want to be polite." '. "Are you going to trust this coun try again to a man who wants to be the whole sbcotin' match?" was , another of his phrases to describe the President. A man, evidently a leader of thc So lalists pres mt, bavin g r- quest, d that enator Tillman be allowed to' have his say before he was interrupted with questions, the Se dior was -left com paratively unmolested during tbe ; opining of his speech. He was well aware that there were many Socialists present and bc commenced with thc i remark. i "There ls an old adage which says < that a fellow feeling makes us wood- < rous kind.

It is tue ?ame way in Massachusetts, where un inte'?gent colored man, who Had s^rvv d His party well, dared aspire to congressional honor.

Constables Seize Two Hundred and Fifty Gallons Whiskey. The dispensary constables Thurs day night made the largest haul they have got lu some months when they seized 250 gallons of c urn whiskey. They think lt ls the fair week suppl} of Sellers, Kiug of Blind Tigers. Sellers announced about two montbfa ago that he was going out of business and his pUce on Gervais street is now operated by a man named Moore. Mr. Moore has been up before Dr. Stanley for selling liquor recently, however. But the constables think Sellers ls still at lt. On Friday, September 30th, they learned that 250 gallons of corn bad heen shipped here over the Southern consigned to "No. 7, Colum bia." After midnight the cir was unloaded and next day Sellers pre sented the bill of lading, properly en dorsed to thc agent. The constables have been looking for the 250T?allous ever since. Thursday night they found lt In an outhouse on the lot, corner Plain and linger streets, two blocks from the penitentiary. The name of the man residing in the house was g i ven to the constables as "Artie Ellison," but no such name appears in the directory. The place is o:i the sam?, block as the bouse in which Mau le Allen was mur dered. E llson will be brought be fore the recorder Fi iday morning to tell bow the whiskey happened to be on bis premises. It was sai i Thursday j night that lie hid rented the outhouse to Sellers, and unless he eau substan tiate some such claim as that ha will have to answer to Hie charge of stor ing contraband liquors. The information leading to thc dis covery of the liquor was secured by Constable Garner and the seizure Thursday night was made by Con stables Garner and Elson of District Chief Osborne's squad. That a blind tiger should have the nerve bo import 250 gallons of whiskej into Columbia Is remarkable enough but that the car should be unloade I in the dead of night is even more dar lug. This Incident may bring still further trouble upon the consignee. The liquor, lt is stated, was sent from Asheville and it should be easy enough to ascertain the true pur chaser, lt was sjnt prepaid, of course. Sillers bas done the same trick sev eral times before and the frequent visits of the constables only seem to discourage bim-he keeps at it.-Co lumbia State. Shoe to Dual?. W. S.
