Err a I an'k. April 0.—The Commun
ion service was held at Salem yester
day. Itev.W.U.Owings officiated, lie
preached, or rather gave a lecture on
Saturday. His subject was The
Lord's Supper. iHs text yesterday
was Jdike,‘22:10 • “This do yo in re-
memhernnee of me.”
It i< truly gratifying to notice the
reverential respect paid the worship-
nd the good oder kept during
(Diem service. This, in some
pics, 1 am told, is not the case,
speaks badly for some people’s J iUiTtist
(training, if I am any judge.

Bt long ago,I hear, that Mr. Hilly

'I am frequently asked where I get
ly authority for saying that the year
1900 will not be a leap year. 1 get it
Jrom Davies Cniversity Arithmetic,
feteel’s fourteen works,an Encyclope-
Idia Britamiica and any other stand-
lard works treating on tlie subject.
[The * general rule for which is:
“Every year which is divisible by 4
is a leap year, unless it isa centurnial
year
and then it is not a leap year,
unless the number of the century is
also divisible by 4. This rule is over
300 years old.
Last Wednesday our section was
visited by a storm of wind, rain and
thunder. Sin’e then the weather and
especially the nights have been cold,
and it is fcnrel the friut crop is killed
or badly damaged. Farm work was
suspended foi a few days in conse
quence of the rain.

money mart.
A correspondent of the Yorkville
Enquirer has drawn me over the coals
for some casual remarks 1 wrote con
cerning the innocent game (as ho
calls ir,)“Twistiflcation.” Nodoubt
lie may think mo a little inconsistent
in speaking of the York county peo
ple while the beam is in the eye of
our Union county people, lie arraigns
me for permitting the same thing to
be done within speaking distance of
jny o.yn home without making men
tion of it. If tills knight of the pencil
pply knew that that was Ids party
Instead of mine, and that it was ex
pep ted that he would give it a tirst-
plasK newspaper putT he would cancel
Jiis charges and give mo credit for
journalistic courtesy shown him and
pis brothorn of the quill who were
present, and perhaps took part |n
ho piaiy whin, or tipped upon the
untastio too, if such a game was up.
I did speak of it in a casual way,
and said, that as there were three
professional reporters present mo
would get a full report of it. Hut my
expectation did not materalize further
than that Sambo merely made men
tion, In a pleasant manner.
I take off my hut and ask pardon
of the scribe and all others M hom I
have offended by my unsophisticated
billingsgate, (if such such is the case,)
and assure them that I didn’t think
of casting a slur upon any one con
nected with the pleasant affair.
Our Union county people are no
better than your York county people.
I am no sour-kruut, pepper-box, tom
cat of a demagogue who would at

I merely call things by their right
name, and see no use in whipping the
devil around the slump that the
church creeds in' »ht be powerless to
take hold of recreant members simply
because nothing is said in any of them
against “TwistiHcution” or any of its
multiform phases, cotillion, reel,
brake-down and stag-down are all

Atlanta, Ga., April, 7.—'The busi

fair for this city since the closing
of the great Cotton States Exposition
at this place. It has been the means

largest, wealthest, most stylish and
best commercial and manufacuring | p r ; t ] a
cities in the south. It lias a popu

miles of ground and has over 200
miles of streets. HO milts of which
are paved. If all its streets were
placed into one long cuntinousstreet
it would reach in a direct lino from
Atlanta to Gaffney, S. C and even
beyond it. There a;e many gaa‘
factories and manufacturing estab
lishments; 20 banks ; over a dozen
newspapers; 200 saloons and over
1.000 stores, some with enormous
capital.
The city has a splendid police
force of 110 police. The city also
has good tire and water works
system.
Some splendid buildings are going
up, tM’O eight story and one ten
story office. There is also a great
building going up soon at the cor
ner of Broad and Peachtree street
It will be twenty stories high. It
will be the highest building in the
South, and outside of Chicago and

America. It will be a modern “sky

been gardening for the last few days.

Spring Time
Is when nearly everyone feels the
need of soino blood purifying,
strength Invigorating and health pro
ducing medicine. The real merit of
Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the reason of
its widespread popularity. Its un
equaled success is its best recommen
dation. The whole system is suscept-
uble to the most good from a medicine
like Hood’s Sarsaparilla taken at this
time, and we would lay special stress
upon the time and remedy, for h*story
has it recorded that delays are dan
gerous. The remarkable (.access
achieved by Hood’s Sarsaparilla and
the many words of praise it has re
ceived, make it worthy of your con
fidence. We ask you to give this
medicine a fair trial.

(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
Draytonville, Apr. 7.—Hit’s a
dog gone slrairge thing to me why
some people harps an harps on a fel
ler when he haint paid no attention
ner said nothin’ to ’em to harp about.
Hit brings to my mind an incident
whitch occurred one night when I
was a possum huntin’. On this here
special night I went with a feller who
had a terrible vicious dog—the dog
didn’t have a darn bit of sense. When
we Mould ketch a possum we M'ould
have to held it up above our heads to
keep the fool dog from tearin’ it into
riddles, then it was he would set un
the howl an show how little sense he
had. He Mould rare, jump, surge,
bark, gnaw hushes, an—.an gu on jim
like anything else that didn’t have a
speck of sense—biggest fool dog I
ever seed in my born days.
Ole Fhnv, theolestan by, is a hunt
in’ of fhiM's an when he ketches one
an holds it up by the tail, as it were,
nearly every doggone one of you cor
respondents will set up a howl an’
bark an’ snort an’ go on jist like
t hat other, er—jist that dog done. I
thought you had long since learned
that Old Flaw don’t care one iota
what you say about him, for if you
say the M'orst its jist as good as you
could say of him.
Here is a flaM' jist now popped into
my mind. I've got it up by the tail,
set up the houd if you want to.
Speakin’ of me bein’ so bad I jist
M'ish to say that I ain’t no worse
than most others, yet I feel “rotten
as rags an’ dead men’s bones” in
the sight of God. Think how pure
God is, then compare yourself u-ith
him, then if you’ve got any con
science an’ not chug full of self-
righteousness you can surely see the
portray of poor fallen humanity in
yourself—I can. I tell you M'liut’s a
fact, Flaw lobks with an impartial
eye into his own bosom an’ sees u'hat
tiie words “fallen humanity” means.
If I say the M'orst of myself the half
still remains for a more forcible ut
terance. Likewise with every hu
man being. I see Adam’s race in
myself an’ you are included—yes, I
mean individually, you.
“Man is deceitful above all things
an desperately wicked.” You are
ready to set up a howl if anyone says
anything harsh about you, but it’s
because you are rotten. If you don’t
believe it jist look into your om u
breast for once with an impartial eye
an you can see hatred, deceit, dishon
esty an everything else but purity,
hut you an I are too doggone hypo
critical to acknowledge it, aint that
so now? Conscience says yes.
