Paul once stirred up Ephesus with some lively sermons about the sins of that place. Among the most import ant results oi these sermons was the faot that the citizens brought out their bad books and papers and in a publio place made a buntire of them. One of the wants of this community Is a great bontire of b'-d books and newspapers. We have in this vicinity enough of such fuel to make a blaze 600 feet high. Take forth this trasti and put it into the tire, and let it bc known in the "^Asen?** o' God stii? , angels and ~e_rJliat you are going to rid your homes of this curse of profit gate literature. We believe it is in tended that the printing-press shall be a means for the world's rescue and evangelization. The great last battle of the world will not be fought with swords and guns, but with types and presses, a puritied 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 thc greatest scourge 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 lt. What books and papers do you read? A newspaper is onlv a book in a swilter and more portable shape. 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. Renjimln Franklin said that the 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 ?nlluence upon your children in molding their lives while they are yet easily Im pressed. We strive hard to keep the columns of this paper clean and pure so it can be warmly welcomed into the best homes of this community. In our next issue we will have some thing to say about novel reading. ? FOND OK CONTENTION. As individuals, as families, commu nities and even as nations wo seem to be coming more fond of contentions. It ls contentions more than any other one thing that takes from the Home Circle its every charm. Russia and Japan at the present time are only samples of the contention that can bu found in too many homes. In this country where our blue skies are full of robins and doves and meadowlarks, we select as our national symbol, the tierce and filthy eagle. In Great Brittan where they have lambs and deer their symbol ls tho merciless lion. In Russia, where from between her frozen north and blooming south all kinds of beasts abide, they choose as their smybol the growling bear. So fond are we of contention that we climb out through the heavens and baptize one of the other planets with tho spirit of battle and call it Mars after the god of war. Wc suppose cur readers have noticed how warmiy in love dry goods stores are with other dry goods stores, and bow highly grocerymen think of the sugars of the groceryman in the same block.

"Another important fact," says he Ms that the pupa in its cell resemble ?ery closely the cotton seed Itself an ihe two cannot be distinguished es :ept by trained eyes. "The pupa, which ls the intermedi tte stage between larva and adult, 1 'uund imbedded in the b ills and whei die cotton is ginned these pupae fal .brough with the seed without bein ?urt In the least and if the seed ar hipped away the pupae go too am ooo we have another infected dis riet."

TIIEUK is nothing the thoughtft oter should investigate socloiely a he government expenditures an ecelpts. The Roosevelt admlnistrr ion and the Republican Congres oem perfectly reckless about how th axpayers' money is expended.

REPUBLICANS GIVE Ul' IXDLAKA. Democratic campaign managers s in the refusal of the national K'jpub can committee to send any of prominent speakers to Indiana abandonment cf the state by Re pub cans rather than a belief that t state is safely Republican wituo further campaigning.

At springfield, Mass., Dr. Ed wa J Belt Saturday evening shot .luis Strong, a wealthy real estate nu and Dr. Benjamin Jackson, a medii electrician and then took carbc acid. Dr. Heit died in the Mei hospital half an hour later. .Iuds Strong's wound is serious and lie m die.

There are of , some rich Democrats and some /rations that contribute to the mocratio fund, but all the money .nus obtained would not equal the fat fried out of a singe trust by Roose velt's man, Gortelyou. 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. He would welcome sums as small as half a dol lar. Mr. Peabody encourages the mak ing of amah contributions. He, would rather receive $100 from one Uindred persons in sums of one dollar-, each | than the Uko sum from a single indi vidual. Mr. Peabody hopes io be 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 of bis 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 southeru 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 portion bas so much to fear from the election of Roosevelt as the south. It would be a handsome thiug for Orangebuig County to raise at last one hundred dollars to blip 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 duty. Lost in Terrille dale. A dispatch from Chatham, Mass., says a small part of the forward sec tion of thc hull and a slanting fore mast stood as mute reminders of the tragedy enacted there Friday night when the three-masted schooner Wentworth of Moncton, N. lt., struck on Chatham bar during a raging north erly gale and all on board perished In the terri lie seas. With the exception of the loss of the steamer Portland In November, 181)8, the wreck of the Wentworth is the worth dlsi.ster that has occurred on the Cape Cod coast during the last decade. Of the 12 persons who were on board the strand eel vessel, not one reached the shore alive, although two bodies were res cued from the surf Friday morning, one of them that of a woman, be liever! to be the wife of the captain. With ber three children she was ac companying ber husband on a trip from Hillsboro, N. li., to Newark, N. J. A mind Murderer. A triple tragedy occured about three and a half miles east of Plano Texas, Thursday afternoon when Will Cochran, a blind man who has been separated from bis wife for about six wieks, led by his nephew, fifteen years old, called at lils mother-in law's house, entered the front door, called for bis wife. When she sat down by bim he grabbed her, stabbing her to death with a dirk and then killed h's mother-in-law, Mrs James Skel ton, seventy-three years old. Ile tuen walked around the bouse about twenty-li vc yards, stuck lils dirk in thc ground, and pulling out a pisto', shot his brains out and died Instantly. Munt Too Hie Mark. Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam many Hall, said Thursday that he had sent notices to tho 50 or more candi dates on the county Democratic ticket requesting them to decline endorse ment by any party other than their own. "Democrats must bo Democrats ind nothing else," said Mr. Mrrphy. Tlie Populists have endorsed a num ber of candidates. IT IS stated that the Panama Cana! Commission has already spent 81,000, )00 for supplies without advertising 'or bids, as the law requires. This is jut ono of the early Items of the great Manama graft.

" invited their interruptions. Ile ed them to down him, and their uestions only served to elieit his bit ing epigrams. "I've got so much devilment in me tonight, 1 want tc throw out some heelltire In your direction," he eaid, and that started things: "Why should the laboring man vote or Parkei?" shouted Mrs. Lillian Forberg, one of the most insistent of the Socialists present. "Why," thundered Senator Till man, "because if you were in he'l wouldn't you like to get into purga tory a while." Again, when the Socialists were harassing him on all sides, he yelled. "Any Socialist who votes for Debs in preference to Parker is spitting in his own face and is a di nkey." Ile was proclaiming the principles of Bryan-it was much more a Bryan than a Parker meeting throughout when some one asked him why Bryan hadn't been elected. "Because you people didn't vote the way you whoop. When a man talks one way and votes another, G id have mercy on lils soul, because the devil has a bill of sale on him." Picking up the pink carri, upon which the Sjcialists had printed a list of questions for him to aus wer, Sena tor Tillman exclaimed: "Socialism, social equality on the one side, yes, and amalgamation of races, and nell and damnation on the other." IPs choicest invectives, however, were saved for President 'floosevelt, whose policy towards the blacks in the South be bitterly assailed. "If a nigger ls good enough for the President to eat with, he ought bo be Kood enough for him to sleep with," he said. ' Nigger," explained the Senator, "means a black man, and is the ph ras used colloquially when spoken. Negr . ls the term you use when i 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 shcotln' match?" was another of bis phrases to describe the President. A man, evidently a loader of the So ialists pres mt, bavin g requested that enator Tillman be allowed to' have his say before he was Interrupted with questions, the Senator was K it com paratively unmolested during the op- ulng of his speech. He was well aware that there were many Scclalists present and he commenced with the remark. "There is an old adage which says that a fellow feeling makes us wond rous kind. Now, 1 have been dubbed a crank, an Anarchist, a wild mai' from Bjrueo, and I am sure that no une here will te any wilder than I ara. I come from a part of tin coun try where we have a problem which dwarfs all other problems, and it is that which keeps the white men in the South in a solid line in the Demo cratic party. You can't tell anything about it unless you live there. "The Republican leaders of to day are subservient sycophants, bowing and scraping at the While House, and betiding themselves up to i ne man who directed and controlled them in the National Convention, livery last one of them falls down a whipped eur before this man in the White House. 1 have heard Republican leaders, talk ing among themselves, say that they had no personal liking for Roosevelt, no not one of them, but they b;>w lo him because he has the whip hand and can distribute the patronage. "1 know you fellows want to vote fur Debs. UP hi my friend. We have had many a little confabulation to gether, and 1 think that bc ls a little rattle pated, and maybe 1 am, but 1 believe I still nave some sense. 1 want ed to elect Bryan, but you fellow* wouldn't vote as j ou whooped. 1 have been in Chicago befo e, right out in this district, too, and I beard you fel fuws whoop for Bryan, and 1 said to myself, there is nothing to this, 1 have carried the town. But when elec tion day came 1 found that you didn't vote the way you were yelling." "Do you stand for the''equality of the races?" he thundered. "We stand for their equality as far as wages go," carno tho answer. 11 Yuu can't ?land upon one platform and not on the other," thundered Till man. "The record of the ages shows that wherever the while and black races have conflicted tho whites have been tho masters. You c.in't tell his tory that it Iles." "Has Parker declared himself upon bbc negro question?" came from the ?ian. I "My friend, woof the-South are willing to trust to Parker, certainly fou ought to be." be .1 pros ir.

The New York World, Brooklyn Eagle, and New York Times are all aller Roosevelt and Cortelyou with sharp sticks for the alleged "holding I up" of corporations In the interest ot ! the Republican corruption fund. I These papers charge that a system of i political blackmail has been adopted , oy the Roosevelt managers and that railroad companies, banks and other corporations, some of which are legit la ale business conccn.s and uot In sympathy with the policies or candi dates of the Republican party, have been threatened with the "dhpleas ure" of the administration if they do not foi th with con! ri bute large sums to tli3 already swol'en bank account of the Roosevelt highbinders. The Uro iklju Eagle also gets after "Ross" Udell, and charges him with having admitted to a friend tbat he had ar ranged to spend *800,0?0 In an effort to elect the Republican state and na iional ticket In New York. The Etgle, wiiich ls ooe of the most con servative and truthful newspaiere in the coun!ry, and responsible fur its utteraucis, g'vts details in making this grave accusation, and calls upun "Boss-!' Odell to make specific denial if he dare. That the Republicans have wiu g an enormous amount of money fruin the trusts a?d corporations bs bey< ni question. Tuat they will use mi lions of this blood money corruptly no honest man doubts Rut they have dune the same things, though in lesser di grce, in previous years, and yet lost the election. A vigilant and unpur chaseable press has heretofore aroused the public conscience and prevented tie deigned theft of the Presidency. Th's is the only hope of electing Par ker and Davis. If the- Republican 1 arty eau Had the votes to buy they have the price, and they will carry the election their way. si i.min By His Gunn. The Repub'ican macnine in Indiana is making desperate off rts to embar rass the o dored man who ls running for Co gress In the Indianapolis dis trict as an independent Republican, but the colored man stands by bis guns and declares he will not be bull do ized. There are some live thous and colored voters lu the district, but the Republican machine has never permitted them to get within smell ing distance of the "d iughdish," at ti.ough it has always claimed their votes as by Divine right. It ls the .-ame way In Massachusetts, where an inte'ligent colored man, who bad servi d nis party well, dared aspire to congress'onal honor. Ile was one of three candidates at the Republican primaries and was beaten out of sight. An analysis of the vote cast showed that every white Republican had voted against thc colored brother No wonder intelligent colored men at the North are getting tired of tins sort of treatment anti are breaking ?.way from the par ly which cares not for them, but only for their votes. The Democrats could uot treat them worse if they should try. Tue Northern negroes are tired of bring used as a catpaw to draw white Republican chestnuts from the tiie without being allowed to even taste them. Rat the Southern ne gro can be relied on to stand by the white Republicans who hold the of liccs. IteptibUcaiirt Cir Parker. A dispatch from New York says wealthy and influential Republicans and Independents of Plainfield, N. J., Including New York commuters, have organ I/, ed a Parker Independent club and will wage a vigorous campaign there, pleading that the Democratic candidate for president represents constitutional government. There wib t.e no lack of tunc?s to defray the tx pense of weekly mas meeting in the Casino, and the distribution of eam piign litetaHire has been a-ranged. George S. Cliy, a New Yo k lawyer and private secretary to Judge Dillon, bas been chosen president of the club, Isaac L. Miller and Samuel Hunt ing ton, bath New York lawyers, are vice presidents, and Henson M. Van Yleet, a retired member of the New York Produce Exchange is secretary. All are Republicans. John O. Stevens, secretary of the Postal Telegraph Ca ble Company an Independent Repub lican i-. treasurer. Judge Stewart, au ditor of the American Smelting Co., of New York, a Re pubica n, is chair man of the Advisory committee. No doubt there are m my thousands of pa trio ic Republican, for Parker and Davis, and if it was not for the im meuse corruption fund which the trust have contributed to the Republi can cmapa'go chest, there would be no paubt of a sweeping Democratic vic tory.

The dispensary constables Thurs lay night made the largest haul they uve got In some months when they elzed 250 gallons of c>rn whiskey. Chey think it is the fair week suppl} if Sellers, King of Blind Tigers. Sellers announced about two months igo that he was going out of business md his place on Gervais street is now )perated by a man named Moore. Mr. Moure has been up before Dr. Stanley 'or selling liquor recently, however. Wut the constables think Sellers is itlll at ifc. OQ Friday, September JOih, they learned that 250 gallons of wm bad been shipped here over the southern consigned to "No. 7, Colum bia." After midnight ttie car was inloaded and next day Sellers pre icntei the bill of lading, properly en iorsed to the agent. The constables lave been looking for the 2f>0Tgallons iver since. Thursday night they found it in an mthoase on the lot, corner Plato and Huger streets, two blocks from the aenitenliary. The name of the man residing in the lu,use was given to the ionstables as "Artie E llsun," but no such name appears in the directory. The place is 0:1 the sams block as the louse in which Mau le Allen was cour iered. E lison will be brought be fore die recorder Friday morning to tell low the whiskey happened to be on lis premises. lb was sail Thursday light that ho h id rented the outhouse ?o Sell?is, and unless he can substan tiate some such claim as that he will lave to answer to the charge of stor ng contraband liquors. The information leading to the dis lovery of the liquor was secured by constable Garner and the seizure Thursday night was made by Con tables Garner and Elson of District Jhief Osborne's squad. That a blind tiger should have the erve to import 250 gallons of whiskej oto Columbia ls remarkable enough ut that the car should be unloade I a thc dead of night is even more dar ug. This incident may bring still urther trouble upon the ei>ns!gnee. The liquor, it is stated, was sent rom Asheville and lt should be easy luugh to ascertain the true pur haser. lt was sent prepaid, of course, filers has done the same trick sev rai times before and tue frequent isl ts of the constables only seem to iscourage him-he keeps at it.-Co rniola State. ?hot io Death.
