The idea of the Georgia demagogue
presiding over the United States Sen
ate, and the heir-presumptive for
four years to the ofTice of chief exe- ;
cutor of the greatest republic on
earth. Bryan and Watson are not
well mated. The fact is it would be
hard to find a man who would suit
Watson. It looks now as if lie will ,
have to get out of the way and sub
mil to the inevitable.
ICE.
How dependent are we becoming I
on ice. natural or artificial! Let us ;
use ice to cool our tea during these
“dog days,’’ and what we began as a
luxury is continued as a necessity. ;
So readily is it now produced, that its
cheapness, combined with its refresh- |
ing qualities, makes for it an en- '
trance into many homes that a few i
years ago looked wistfully at it as
SinghT copiesoT the "paper are live forbidden fruit. All of this makes it
cents each.
TURKEY IN COMMOTION.
The trouble in Crete grows apace.
At this there should be no surprise as
the Moslcuin heel bears down with
envenomed bate. Turkey has tried
her hand time and again and finds
out that she can do us. she pleases.
The powers of Europe are too busy
watching cadi other to pay earnest
heed to Turkey even though human
lives arc daily sacrificed to oppose
Moslcuin ire.
Armenia is a long way <>1T, but her
citizens are frugal, industrious and I
moral. Would it not he a good idea i
to invite them to become citizens of i
“the land of the free?’’ The South
has plenty of room for all who would
prefer exile to a shameful death. In
Spartanburg county alone thousands
of them could find happy homes, free
from the corroding cares that make
life a burden in Armenia. And Spar
tanburg would be the better off with
them as citizens. But perhaps Tur
key would not let them go. They
would not have any on whom to vent
their hate. What business bus he in
Europe anyway? Ho is an inter
loper, and owes bis foothold to an ac
cident. We cannot understand how
Christian nations can sit idly by and,
the more incumbent upon us to de
mand and secure a pure article, when
like tea and lemonade, it is taken
into the system “by word of mouth.”
Be we ever so careful with the
water we drink; whether it comes
from the bowels of the earth, as
brought to the surface by artesian
wells; or transported through pipes
from springs outhe mountain’s brow ;
or from wells sunk near the surface,
it will all be of no avail if with it we
use ice itself impure. The germs de
structive to human life may he im
bedded in ice and still preserve their
vitality, ready to do their deadly j
work when released from prison. Let ,
us know where the ice we use is man- j
ufactured.
DR. P. G. ELSOM.
Seldom have our people been stirred j
heart and mind and soul as under
the preaching of Bov. 1’. G. Elsom.
of Virginia. He lingers noton the
surface nor at the circumference,
but cuts direct to the core. Mr. El
som believes that it is through the
preaching of the Word that men,
women and children are to he saved.
He preaches it in its simplicity, hut
with power. Unaffected in life, the
one burning question with him is,
men must be saved, and saved on the

TIIE PROTRACTED MEETING.
Tlie season is on us h-r the pro-
t meted meetings to begin. No sooner
do we begin to "lay by” the crops
lhail the preachers commence pre
paring fir their meetings. As each
preacher has an average of four
churches, anl each church must
have at least a week, this runs us
very near to cotton picking season,
when the protracted meetings must
stop.
The protracted mooting is good in
its place. Ir accomplishes a good
work in the church—the memlarship
is revived, new resolutions are made
and there is Ix-tt.r attendance at
church worship, at prayer meeting
and at Sunday School. There is good
work done also out of the church—
The name of God is honored, sinners
are converted and sin is revealed.
All of this is work that tells for the
present and for the future. Lot how
isit that we have drifted into this
way of working and waiting? Is this
man’s way, or is it. God’s way? In
the religious life are there change of
Seatons as we have in nature? Must
there he springtime and summer and
fall and winter, and must we look for
the winter of discontent to give way
when the “Sun ut righteousness”
arises with healing on his wings?
We are receiving blessing, every
day that we live, if we only knew it.
God is waiting to he gracious. He is
ever ready to forgive. Let there he

DR.JAMESON AGAIN,
At last Dr. I a meson and his com
panion raiders from South Africa

months it drew its slow length along,
but a waiting public bus been relieved
by the announcement that the judge
has delivered Ids charge and the jury :
brings its verdict. It was to be ex- j
oect.d that they would be convicted
and a light punishment inflicted.
Here i ie instance where sympa- !
thy weik ;ne way and duty called for
another. Duty won the day. The '
eyes of the world were upon England,
and she felt the power of that con
centrated gaze. Governments have !
rights us well as individuals; among
I hem being the right to live and to
protect that life. Dr. Jameson s <o i-
victiou but iritates that truth, and
gives it n prominence at the time
that the “greatest power on E.irlh"
is trying to extend her territory.
England by her own act is made to
condemn what is her policy.

They Were Not Ivory or Celluloid and
• Were Never Turned.
“How docs it come that you havered,
white and blue billiard balls?” asked
tiie whip salesman of Rufe Eiselo, who
keeps the Brant House at Sloop Creek.
“’Tis kinder extraordinary, ain’t it?”
said Rufe. “But somehow or another
extraordinary things happen down hero.
You wouldn’t believe it if I told you
that I had them balls afore I bad the
tabic. I bought the table for $40 from
Bart Own loaf, and he won it at a rafilo
up to Asbury. That table’s wuth plum
$250, and the balls is just a gift of na
ture—come by a special act of Provi
dence, you might say. You never see
balls just like them before. They ain’t
ivory, and they ain’t celluloid. If they
was celluloid, they wouldn’t bo hero

"I’ll tell you how I come by ’em, and
you’ll learn what extraordinary things
ran happen down hereaway*. A year
ago the> Kith of June there was a party
of Breieeklyn fellows down here, and
they se't out feer a geioet time. They
fetched cards and chips with them and
’lowed to pby poker until 4 o’e lex’k in
the mornifig and them go fishing. I seit
up with them and texik a hand in thei
game\ We were Retting at that round
table, and it was pushcelover in the cor
ner between them windows. ’Lemg
about 12 o’clock I was mixing drinks
feer the crowd, when I heard thunder and
mntterin anel sex' flashes of lightning.
I te>ld them follows they’d better meive
away from the windows, hut they
langhed at me.
“One fellow had been winning rigid
straight abng. Ho had a big pile-of
chips in fro- t of him, anel they was in
his way. So ho began stacking them up
according tee oeehtr anel Juiel 25 of oa< li
kind in stacks side by sielej on the win
dow’ sill. Meanwhile the storm broke
anel the lightning played bob around
the* henise. The party got kinder seared
and jumped up preemptly when I pro-
posed te> all to go to the bar and have a
drink. I was just setting oat the glasse s
whe n there was a swish of lightning
that turned the whole air blue*. I didn’t
hear any thunder, but I sec big balls eif
lire* dancing round the rexim, and erne
of them hit me right on the* breast and
knocked mo down txdiiud the bar. Ev
ery man in thee room was lilt plumb in
tho gizzard with a ball of flree and
knocked flat. I don’t know how long it
was liefeiree we all come to and took our
drinks, but I elo know that the storm
huel passed. I looked round anel was
surprised to find that nothing had been
hurt. After the fellows all took the'ir
drinks they wanted to play poker again
r.nel started for the table. There tho fe*l-
low that had won most of the ( hips put
up a holler abemt them. Ho said some
body had geit ’em.

"And, talking about cyclones,” said
the man from Kansas, “them air twist

The smart young man who sat beside
the Kansan threw away his eigare*ttei,
and even thc'gripman looked interested.
“Yem have seen a tornado, then?”
saiel the smart young man with anima
tion.
“Seen ’em?” said the fanner scorn
fully. "Why, young feller, I comes
from Kansas.”
"Oh!” said the smart young man. A
little later he ventured to remark,
"Had lots of experience with cyclones,
I suppose. ’ ’
“Experience? Naw, you don’t get no
experience dealing with cyclones,” said
the man from Kansas, " ’cause* them
twisters never elo the same thing twice.
You just learn to dig out for tho cellar
when you see ’e m eoniiu. ”
“They do all sorts of queer things, I

down on tlie foundations just as neat as

house had just sunk out of sight. But
then I didn’t have a mortgage on the

"Reminds me e,f a story ef a brother
of mine out in low ay, ” said the man
on the step. “Had a fine setter dog—
best hunter in the state.' My hrother
couldn’t sh ot, so he wanted to sell
