CONGRESS.
Congress has reassembled and all
eyes are turned towards the nation’s
eapitol. The 54th congress begins
its session at a season of tranquil it j’,
the result, in part, of national pros
perity. The political wave reversed
Itself in the last general election, so
that the Republicans feel easy as
they hold the legislative reins of
power.
Speaker Reed again is placed in
charge of the “lower house." This
was to be eipected. He assumes the
responsibilites of the trying position
with becoming modesty, and is now
ready tc govern as his own imperi
ous will may dictate.
Crisp, speaker of the 53rd congress,
tl still the acknowledged leader of
the minority. His clear head will be
needed time and again to cope with
the republican phalanx led by the
member from Maine.
Many new members have come to
the front to legislate for the “dear
people—my fellow citizens," They
will soon be sifted, and will take
their proper positions as naturally as
water seeks its level. There is a lull
in the storm, which will likely con
tinue until the President’s message
is read.
HAMILL IN SPARTANBURG.
A master workman is Prof. H. M.
Hamill. His work has been among
the young and those who devote some
of their time to studying and teach
ing the word of God. As a normal
teacher he is an expert, especially in
that line of it where these methods
are applied to teaching in the Sun
day school.
The two little volumns, “The Le
gion of Honor Normal Bible and
Training Lessons" of which Prof.
Hamill is the author, are models of
simplicity. In the smallest possible
compass are condenced facts and fig
ures and precepts and approved
plans that are easy of access and ar
ranged so as to be readily remem
bered.
In Spartanburg, on Sunday morn
ing, before the Baptist Sunday school
*nd many others assembled to listen
tc the expert teacher, he demon
strated through the lesson for the
day his aptness to teach. What a
pleasure it is to listen to one who
knows his subject, who knows his
scholars, and knows how to present
that subject to those scholars that
they may know it too! Such is the
power possessed by Prof. Hamill, and
it is not acquired in a day.
faced each oil nt Appomattox, be
fore the south - 1 called upon to lend
two of her son-- to preside over two
important departments of the gov
ernment. Secretary Herbert has
proven himself the right man In the
right place.
Our navy is better equipped than
ever before In the history of the na
tion. When wo consider our exten
sive and exposed sea fronts, and then
look at our small naval equipment
we would feel abashed, were it not
for the fact that its efficiency is un
questioned. A good deal of praise is
due Secretary Herbert for his vigi
lance and for his perseverance. When
called upon to give up the position
he lias held with so much honor to
himself and advantage to the nation,
he can retire with the satisfaction
that he has done well. A good way
to secure respect is to command it by
being prepared to enforce your
claims.
MR. GRIFFITH AND LIMESTONE
Prof. Griffith has so long been con
nected with Cooper-Limestone In
stitute that we never think of one
without the other looming up before
us. Many will be the regrets that
Prof. Griffith Has thought best to re
sign into other hands the presidency
of Limestone. It is not because he
does not like to teach, this lie will
continue to do. It is not because his
sympathies are not with the young,
he still works for their improvement
and delghts to see any sign of prom
ise that spans their horizon. We
can imagine that the bent bow needs
occasionally to be unstrung that its
elasticity may’ be retained and the
arrow be sent all the more truly to
its mark.
The care is a heavy one. How
heavy, he only knows who has home
the weight of responsibility for years,
and felt almost alone. We believe
with Prof. Griffith that the efficiency
of his teaching will be greatly in
creased when he can stand before
his class with mind and heart con
centrated on the work of the hour.
GARLAND GOODE GONE.
CAROLINA DAY. |
Thanksgiving day was the great
rallying day, at the Atlanta exposi
tion, for South Carolinians. Several
events conspired to make it the
great day. Atlanta put on her holi
day garb and joined the endless pro
cession. XoPless than $150,000 was
spent by Carolinians alone for this
privilege, on this clay, when Presi
dent and Governors united in calling
upon this great people to stop and
think and return thanks to Almighty
God for his wonderful goodness.
At lanta has pleasant words for Car
olinians led by Tillman and Evans,
but rather condemns some of the ex
pressions uttered by these “observed
of all observers." Tillman and
Evans were too frank to express just
what they thought.
Well, we are used to it over here,
and have ceased to wonder and raise
the cry of alarm.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear-
There is only one way to cure Deaf,
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it isentiely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can bo taken out
and tiiis tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars, free.

He Dies in the Penitentiary of the
Wounds Received at Galfney.
On Friday the train from <’oliimMa
brought tin* dead body of Garland
Goode, who died in the penitentiary
hospital of a gunshot wound received
at Gaffney where* he was recaptured.
The corpse was accompanied by the
father, Mr. J. 1). Goode, of Clifton,
who had gone to Columbia, but too
late to see his boy alive. Garland
Goode was 2(5 years old. They were
met at the depot by friends who
took the body to Henrietta, N. C.,
for burial.
Garland Goode was an unfortunate
boy. He became addicted to the use
of intoxicating drinks, and when un
der the influence was reckless, almost
to desperation. He was easily led
into unsavory society. It was this
misfortune that got him into the
difficulty which led to his conviction.
Jolly and Hopper, who were convicted
for theft of the ’hale of cotton for
which Goode was convicted as un ac
complice. have both stated to Mr.
Goode, the father, that in fact Gar
land was not guilty. That ho got in
company with them the morning
after the stealing, and they, having
liquor, got him to drinking, and he
staid with them; but he knew nothing
of the stealing. If these two men
have told the truth, Garland Goode
died innocent of the crime, and though
a severe sufferer for his former mis
takes he has been providentially res
cued.—Spartanburg Herald of Nov.
30.

and in my family for several years,
and take pleasure in saying that I
consider it an infallible cure for
diarrhoea and dysentery. I always
recommend it, and have frequently
administered it to my guests in the
hotel, and in every ease it lias proven
itself worthy of unqualified endorse

Let us “gire the devil his due."
Not quite one month has elapsed sine*
the fall election of 1895, with sweep
ing Republican victories all along the
line, save in Virginia and Mississippi,
and what have followed these party
successes? Two very serious strikes;
the suspension of one or two very
large manufacturing concerns; a de
cline of more than half a cent In cot
ton, and a proportionate falling off in
the prices of wheat, corn, oats, lard
and pork—involving, altogether, a
loss of nearly $45,000,000 to the agri
cultural classes since the election.
