AN ORPHAN-HOME
That Is Run by An Absolute Reliance
on Prayer.
THE GREAT CHARITY.
Was Originated in the Mountains ot
North Carolina by Miss Mnttie
Perry, Who Describes the Institution
to a Reporter. It Now Takes
Care of One Hundred and Forty
Children.

Miss Mattie Perry, of Marion, N.
C., who has been spending some days
in Columbia, on her return from a
visit to relatives in South Georgia initiated
and brought into being one of
the srrcatest works of charity in the
Southern States, through prayer and
faith, somewhat similar to the work
of Muelber, at Bristol, England. The
following account of Miss Ferry and
her work we clip from the Columbia
Record:
Miss Perry was born in the mountain
section of this state and prayed
her way through college and Bible
school. She has had, she says, many
wonderful answers to prayer and is
shortly to print a book that will give
in detail all of the facts and incidents
of her career.
Miss Perry haJf^ow in operation a
home that cost over $70,000, and is
taking care of about 140 orphans.
Her receipts toward their support in
1906 were upwards of $12,000. The
home has no endowment and depends
upon gifts in answer to prayer. These
have come in a remarkable manner
from forty states and from Canada.
Mexico, Spain, India and some dozen
other countries.
Miss Perry had at one time as
many as thirty missionary workers
in foreign fields, whom she supported
by prayer and faith. She has now
about twelve, whom she is supporting
in this manner.
It may interest many people to
know that when the home at Marion,
N. C., was first started, it was not
intended for an orphan home, but
was a sort of institute for literary
and Bible trainin^>r young men and
?- i?i ? 1 ? ?i i
women wno na'i erijoytru nu scnuui
opportunities. A similar school is
now operated on the top of Paris
Mountain, seven miles from Greenville.
The school was run on the prayer
and faith theory for about two years,
and then Miss Perry received, as she
says, a clear and distinct calling to
do the work which she has now undertaken.
That was about six years
ago. At the time she started the
work she had just money enough to
get a railroad ticket, but. she says,
she prayed for help and her prayer
was heard and answered to such an
extent that the institution is now
taking care of 140 orphan children.
She had to turn away 150 last year
for lack of room. Improvements are
now being made in the building, and
Miss Perry expects soon to be able
to accommodate about 450 children.
Orphans from eleven states are now
being cared for, and every child at
least has a chance for a collegiate
education, business course and a
trade
The institution is called "The Elhanen
Institute." It was opened

God hears and answers prayers. The
first mottoes put on the walls were,
"Is Anything Too Hard for the
Lord?" and "All Things Are Possible
to Him That Believeth."
It may be of interest to some people
to know of some of the marvelous
answers to prayer described by
Miss Perry. Once the home gave a
not for $1,000, due one day after
date, and a South Georgia woman
sent a check for.$1,000 just in time
to meet the note. Many times, Miss
Perry said, the pantry and the purse
have been empty, but she looked to
God for the daily bread, and the need
was met by contributions made voluntarily
and without solicitation.
Once, when the bread was cut out,
and the orphans were waiting for
breakfast, a wholesale grocer received
a telegram from Memphis, ordering
two barrels of flour the pantry
and the purse have seen many answers
to pray and at a time when
help was most needed, after a sore
test of faith. The truth that "God
is faithful," and "Like a father pitieth
His children, so the Lord pitieth
them that fear Him," has been learned
by Miss Perry and her people.
The children at the niinanen institute
come from the most destitute
walks of life?the door step baby,
those found in the woods or on the
streets?those^from homes of poverty
and ^the most despairing of sin.
They are gathered In and sheltered
from temptation and -fed and clothed,
educated and traihed for lives of
usefulness.
A department is maintained for
young men and women who are anxious
for an education and who have
no money but are willing to work to
pay expenses while in school. From
this department several students
have gone to foreign fields as missionaries,
some are pastors, some
teacher, some evangelists and some
Christian citizens.
Miss Perry says: "Our hearts have
been almost broken many times during
the past year as we have had to

GARDEN INSECTS
An Interesting Paper in Clemson
College Extension Work.
f ' > i TO
Detailed Directions Given llow the
Be Easily Destroyed.
The last bulletin issued by Clemson
college deals with the subject of
"Garden and Orchard Insects." A
very interesting chapter is an article
by Prof. Chambliss in which he tells
when to apply insecticides or other
treatment. As to the application of
the insecticides, Prof. Chambliss' paper
is as follows:
Apple--For coding moth, apply
Paris green in liquid form or arsenate
of lead as soon as the blossoms
fall; repeat before the fruit turns
down. Collect and destroy the fallen
fruit. On trunk of tree use a band
of cotton or burlay during July, August
and September; remove this band
every 10 days and kill the insects
found under it. |
For wooly aphis, apply kerosene
emulsion or whale oil soap as soon as
the insect appears on the limbs; repeat
whenever necessary. For the
root form, use tobacco.
For the apple aphis, apply kerosene
emulsion or whale oil soap when
the buds open, if the lice appear; repeat
five days later, or before the
leaves begin to curl.
For the San Jose scale, apply the
lime and sulphur wash to all parts
of the tree in December; repeat in
February if tree is badly encrusted.
In summer apply kerosene emulsion.
For tent-caterpillar and fall webworm,
apply Paris green in liquid
form or arsenate of lead when the
caterpillars appear; repeat, if necessary,
ten days later. When first seen,
the nests of these insects should be
destroyed by burning them, which
should be done only on cloudy days
or late in the afternoon.
For the oyster-shell scale and scurfy
scale, apply kerosene emulsion
during the winter; repeat in April.
Asparagus?For asparagus beetle,
apply pyrethrum in liquid form when
the young appear; repeat every four
days during the cutting season. After
the cutting season, apply arsenate of
lead.
Bean?For leaf beetle, apply Paris
green in liquid form or arsenate of
lead when the beetles appear; repeat
whenever necessary. Either of these
insecticides may be used with Bordeaux
mixture.
Celery?For caterpillar, apply arsenate
of lead in Bordeaux mixture
when the caterpillars appear; repeat
a week later if necessary.
Cabbage, Cauliflower and Collard
?For aphis, apply kerosene emulsion,
whale oil soap or tobacco decoction
when the lice appear; repeat
one week later. After the crop has
been gathered, plow up and destroy
all parts of plant that remain.
For the harlequin bug, apply kerosene
emulsion or whale oil soap upon
the first appearance of the insect;
repeat whenever necessary. Use mustard
in cabbage patch as a' trap crop.
On this plant destroy insects with
pure kerosene.
For cabbage caterpillar and other
leaf-eating caterpillars, apply Paris
green in liquid form once a week until
head is nearly grown, if the insects
appear. Use pyrethrum on the
older plants.
For root-maggot, apply carbolic
acid emulsion to the soil around the
base of the plant.
Cantaloupe and Watermelon?For
the aphis, apply to the under surface
of leaves kerosene emulsion, whale
oil soap or tobacco decoctation as
soon as the insects appear; repeat
every five days until the lice are destroyed.

For the borer, wrap the trunk of
tree, not later than Sept. 15, with
newspaper or brown paper. This covering
should extend to the height of
18 inches from the ground. It should
be fastened at the top by a stout
string, and should be banked at the
bottom with earth to the height of
ten inches. Upon removing the covering,
which may be done at any
time during the winter, a search
should be made for the borers. When
found, they should be killed in their
burrows with a wire probe. As a repellent
to the moth thatvappears in
May, apply to the trunk of tree a
thick coat of the lime and sulphur
wash. This wash should be applied
with a large brush and not later than
April 15.
For the curculio, apply same insecticide
and treatment as recommended
for cherry.

Wife desertion is a cowardly
, thing and deserves punishment, but
it is to be doubted whether putting
the wife deserter in the penitentiary
f would not make the lot of the wife
harder than ever. So long as a
man is at liberty there is a chance
of making him support his wife,
f but if he is in the penitentiary
that chance vanishes. The problem
_ is to compel men to support the wo%
men to whom they are married.
" Putting them in a position where
" they have no earning capacity will
hardly accomplish the desired end.

8?n?e Irishmen Throw Aged Ekks at
Some Actors.
The hearing in the case of the ten
Irishmen who were arrested for
creating n disturbance in the Orpheum
theater, in Brooklyn, on the night
of January 31, at a performance of
the sketch, "The Irish Servant Girl,"
by the Russel Brothers, has been concluded
in the court of special sessions,
and the defendants discharged.
The demonstration against the
sketch was definitely and deliberately
planned, and the police arrested more
than a score of Irishmen, who, as alleged,
had hurled aged eggs and other
objects at the stage and showed
their indignation at the performance
in other ways. Only ten of the prisoners
were held for trial in the court
of special sessions.
Judge Fleemlng, who presided,
characterized the sketch as'Mndecent,
vulgar and shocking in the extreme,"
and when the last defendant was dischargd,
he said: "No man, especially
an Irisman, would sit still and witness
a performance that ridiculed
his mother and sister."
TOOK HIM DOWN.
Ail American Who Offered to Thrash
A Grand I)ukc.
The American colony at Monte
Carlo is chuckling over the adventure
of one of their number, an
American millionaire, with Grand
Duke Michael of Russia, in which
his imperial highness came out second
best. For some unaccountable
icoouii yuui cui ru?iioiiuent couiu not
obtain the name of the American?
perhaps, being booked for an early
steamer, he wants to tell the story
himself on his return.
It appears that the man from the
United States was joggling along in
his auto en route for the golf club,
and not suffering from speed mania
went rather slowly. Behind him, on
the narrow road, was a machine that
kept up a perpetual tooting and snarling,
asking, nay demanding, the
ri^it of way in double quick order.
However, our American, being leisurely
inclined, refused to take notice.
When finally he pulled up at
the club, the other machine pranced
alongside and a tall, military-looking
gent confronted the American.
"Sir," he cried, "you evidently
don't know who I am. Please remember
for the future that I am Grand
Duke Michael of Russia."
"Glad to meet you Mike" replied
the American, "but, on your own
part, remember that we are not in
Russia, likewise that I don't care a
rap for imperial highnesses."
At first "Mike" seemed petrified
with amazement, then pulled himself
together and shouted menacingly.
"How dare you, poltroon, "
"Shut your face," answered the
American, taking both hands out of
his pockets, "another word from you
I and I will wipe your imperial snout
on the grass before all these people."
The grand duke did as he was told,
jumped in his automobile and drove
away. He hasn't shown up at the
Casino since.
A Foolish Notion.
There are stranger things in Ger
many than Emperor William. There
is, for instance, a great editor in
Berlin who is a positive refreshing
novelty?as much so as the fat woman
in the side show or the 500
pound pumpkin. He hopes Japan
will not hopelessly cripple the new
navy of the United States, principally
because he wants our navy spared
to prevent England demanding the
destruction of the ships of Germany.
It is easily understood that we stand
between England and the destruction
of the German fleet, but hopeless
and complete ruination of our
ships by Japan is something that we
have not contemplated at length.
The Berlin editor has our assurance
that we shall not permit our
entire navy to be destroyed by Japan.
We shall be able to run a few
small warships up shallow rivers and
hide them where the little brown
man cannot get at them. And if then
they are of use in warding off the
dogs of war England stands ready to
let loose on Germany?well, we
might keep them at home, after all.
It is genuinely funny to hear those
people talk over in Europe. They
have jusft as much idea of the resources
and capabilities of this country
a? the average Japanese has; and
that in spite of the many object lessons
we have supplied. What they
need is a course of travel, combined
with ordinary horse sense and a few
newspapers that are willing to see
things this side of the water just as
they are.
This paper is endeavoring to give
its patrons the best service that is
possible to give and all that the patronage
will permit. Our paper is
being frequently complimented on
its appearance and the amount and
kind of matter it contains. Our
citizens can make the paper still
more effective by liberal patronage,
both in subscriptions and advertising.
The paper will always
endeavor to merit the patronage.
The Norfolk Landmark says
"Representative Northern newspapers

Nonsense. What they call a real

the White House than a Democrat
of that stamp.

After Dig Ciainc.
The recent indictments returned
against Alfred and David Morris,
Albert Baldwin. Sr, and Frank T.
Howard, at Mobile, Ala., for conspiring
to violate the Anti-Lottery
law, have recalled the days when
the lottery business was at the
heighth of its career in the South.
These four men, hankers and capitalists,
who are all rated as millionaires,
are charged with being the
owners of the Honduras lottery,
whose earnings in the United States
are said to have aggregated $500,000
per month.
Alfred llennen Morris and David
Hennen Morris, the latter of whom
married ore of the Vanderbilts, are
; on a ox the late John A Morris,
whose lather was the Louisiana lottery
king. It \v;is through the late
Charles T. Howard, father of Frank
T. Howard, one of the men indicted,
that the elder Morris anil his associates,
among them A. Baldwin, Sr.,
secured from a reconstruction legislature,
the charter of the Louisiana
Lottery company for a period of 25
years.
The elder Howard managed the
campaign before the legislature, and
later was the President of the company,
holding that oflice until his
death, when he was succeeded by
Paul Conrad, who remained President
until the death by limitation,
of the company. In its
halcon days the Louisiana Lottery
company's possible receipts were
$5,000,000 a month, aggregate prizes
about 60 per cent, thereof, but
unsold tickets were always put in
the wheel and often drew the prizes,
the largest of which in the
palmiest days was $600,000.
Shun TaintckI Money.
William Jennings Bryan has
praises for churches and colleges
that refuse to take money that has
been made by dishonest means. He
spoke recently in the New National
theater, Washington, D. C., under
the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. He
took for his subject the "Prince of
Peace."
"One of our rich men," he said,
"has reached a point where he sometimes
finds difficulty to find people
to take his money. And that I regard
as the best evidence of the
growth of a moral sentiment in this
country. It means something when
a great church pauses, hesitates, refnses
to accept the money until it
knows how it is made.
"I believe the time will come when
churches and colleges will refuse to
go into partnership in the spending
of money immorally made. The influence
of that public opinion will
be a powerful factor in the restoring
of righteousness. These institutions
should say to a man: 'You do
not make your money honestly; we
will not share the odium with you.' "
The colored people throw away a
great deal of their hard earned money
in riotous living. On last Tuesday
Frank Felder, a colored man from
Bowman neighborhood, undertook
to paint Orangeburg red, and as a
consequence he fell into the hands
of the guardians of the peace. He
had acted so outrageously that Mayor
Doyle determined to make an example
of him. So he fined him on
different counts $120, which Felder
paid. This is a pretty big sum for
a man of Felder's means to hlow in
in one night. Two other colored sinners
contributedithirty dollars to the
exchequer of the city for helping
Felder in his effort to paint things
red.?The Times and Democrat.

TilE STATE LEAGUE
OrnnKcbur^ Will Have Ease Hall
A^ain This Summer.
It has been definitely decided that
Orangeburg will have base ball agnin
this year. The State League has
been organized with clubs from Orangeburg,
Darlington, Greenville,
Sumter and Anderson. Sufficient
funds having been subscribed hero to
keep our club in the field to the end
of the season. It has not been definitely
decided when the season will
open but it will be about the middle
or latter part of May.
At a meeting in Columbia last
week, in which Orangeburg was represented
by Mr. Jas P. Doyle, Hon.
M. L. Smith, of Camden, who is
known to be one of the biggest fans
in the State, was made president.
Mr. Smith does not come from any
one of the cities that is in the league,
and he will deal impartially with tho
various teams. Mr. William llultman,
of Sumter, was elected vicepresident.
A secretary and treasurer
will be elected later.
The salary limit has been placed
at $960 to include the salary of the
manager, and a forfeit will be put tip
by each town as a guarantee. Tho
number of each team will be 12 men
to include the manager, and the managers
of tho teams will have two
weeks In which to cut the number of
bis men to the limit.
The season will consist of twelve
weeks, each team playing 36 games
at homo and .'JO away from homo.
Each city will have to put up
$1,500 to enter the league, and when
that amount has been exhausted by
any city and they do not care to
spend any more money, the league
can be discontinued. The league will
also apply for national protection.
TItAIN RACES WITH BARN.
The Thrilling Experience of a Railroad
Engineer.
Engineer Scannon of a Chesapeake
and Ohio freight train was the hero
Thursday of ?i thrilling race between
a train and a barn with several lives
at stake.
Scannon's train was passing Tobb's
Station, Ky., at a good rate, when
the high wind that was blowing lifted
a big tobacco barn from its foundation
and started it rolling down
hill.
Scannon saw the danger at once
and immediately threw the throttle
wide open in an effort to outrun the
barn. The big barn crashed into the
caboose smashing it.
The impact also shattered the barn
which collapsed on the thack. Trainmen
on the caboose saw their peril
in time to escape by jumping.
