TALMACiE ANU III 1.1. KI N. Dr. Do Witt TaImage in a recent sermon on the (llory of the Navy as serted in cfleet that if Dewey had not gained an overwhelming victory at Manila, we should in all probability now be engaged in a protracted war with Spain and cited as some sort of proof of the assertion, that it took the United .States three years to re cover from the disaster at Bull Run. Now Dr. Talmage is an cloijuent divine, and his sermons have been read with delight, and we hope with some profit, by thousands of people, for the last quarter of a century. But while truth is often eloquent, eloquence is not always truth. We think in the first place that the “Glory of the Navy - ’ is a subject bet ter adapted to a fourth-of-July ora tion or to a political harangue in Congress than to a sermon supposed to be delivered for the purpose of arousing purer aspirations in the human soul and inciting men to holier living; and in the second place we more than half suspect that the Doctor’s eloquence has long been made to minister to the vain glory of self, rather than to the vital truths of the gospel. The Doctor’s argument seems to be about as follows : Jf Dewey hud been defeated at Manila, the war with Spain would have lasted four wears, because Scott to and McDowell were defeated at Bull Run, and the war against the South lasted four years. That argument puts Spain and the Confederacy ex actly in the same category, takes for granted that the South would have succumbed us quickly as Spain un der a signal defeat at Bull Run, and that all the horrors of the next four years were the legitimate results of the Confederate victory. We should like to remind the learned and eloquent divine, when he asserts that the United States was four years in recovering from that defeat, that the United States met with several other little mis haps after the buttle of Bull Run which probably somewhat retarded her recovery, or perhaps she may be said to have had several relapses during the period of convalescence. She experienced a succession of mild disorders in the Shenandoah valley in the spring of 18(12, and later in the season she found the swamps of the Chickahcminy exceedingly un healthful. Then un epidemic broke loose at Cedar Mountain, extending its ravages to Second Manassas, Harper’s ferry, Sharpesburg, Fred ericksburg, and Chancellorsville. The United States, Doctor, didn’t have a fair chance to recover, or she wouldn’t have been so long about it. Your analogy is greatly strained; your parallel is two lines diverging from the starting point. Wo fear you have exhausted the beauties and sublimities of the scriptures and gone into the field of secular history for ful to feed your fiery eloquence. NOTES AND COMMENTS. It is said that South Carolina will make an average cotton crop, after all. The great failing oil has been in the west. The low-country of this state is in luck this time, and the Piedmont must wait its turn. The farmers in this region will proba bly not realize more than one-half of an average crop. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The will of Mr. D. E. Converse has been probated. He left Converse College practically one-third of his estate which is estimated at sjioOO,- 000. This will give Converse Col lege an endowment of ijiloO.OOO, which will put it far above want, and enable it to continue on a still grander scale the work of educating Southern women. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Spartanburg and Greenville coun ties have long been wrangling over the boundary line between the two counties. The dispute has at lust been settled by the courts and Spar tanburg wins. If now the Herald and the News can settle their dis pute about which is the bigger town, and whether A. B. Williams went to Baltimore to get evidence against | Ben Tillman in the bond deal, or just happened to be in Baltimore when he i got the evidence, we snail have peace ! all along the line. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ J lie. ‘ After having been bull-dozed for months by England, it rises to the spirit of the occasion and sends an ultimation that means business. Take your troops out of this country at once, don’t land any more of them, let matters of dispute he arbitrated; if wo don’t hear from you by 0 o’clock today, we’ll put your troops out of the country and stop others from coming hero. Do you under stand that? Tliis is about the gist of it and England must light or hack down. ♦ -♦ ♦ ♦ There is a shortage of $8,000 in the treasurer’s office of Barnwell county, and the State Sinking Fund Com mission now have the matter under consideration. Indeed it is said that since investigations began, 000 more is lacking to make the ac counts balance. Treasurer Free has been freed from all these mortal coils by death, though his bondsmen are yet in the bonds of iniquity and will have to make good all deficits. Bondsmen are in frequent demand during these halcyon days of reform and the signing of a public oilicer s bond has come to be a little more than a pleasant compliment or an easy conventionalism. rrogruin of tlio S.

Blanton, one of Shelby’s most popular and gallant young men, was a Galfney visitor Sunday. During the winter of 1.S97 Mr. James Reed, one of the leading citi zens and merchants of Clay. Glay Co., W. Yu., struck his leg against a cake of ice in such a manner as to bruise it severely. It became very much swollen and pained him so badly that lie could not walk without the aid of crutches. He was treated by physicians, also used several kinds of liniment and two and a half gallons of whisky in bathing it. but nothing gave any relief until he began using Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. This brought almost a complete cure in a week’s time and he believes that had he not used this remedy his leg would have had to be amputated. Pain Balm is unequaled for sprains, bruises and rheumatism. For sale by Chero kee Drug Company. The timber on 510,000 acres of hard woods at Algomu, W.

Butt arrived in the city yesterday afternoon with his patiarn- mtis, but got here too late to give an exhibition last night. The delay oc casioned by the frti'ht train from the south being behind time. An exhibition will take place tonight and all who attend will surely be in structed and entertained. On last Sunday morning at 11 o’clock Rev. 15. P. Robertson, pastor of the First Baptist church preached the first of a series of sermons on “Tho works of God; The character of God; His omnipotence, and His relation to man, as to his origin, character and redemption; Tiie iaws of gravity in the spiritual world.” The line of thought rests on Ihe fundamental doctrines as re vealed in the word of God. Every one is cordially invited to attend. “Uncle” Sam Hopper, who is still in the city having a good time with all the people, tells a good story about squirrels. He has been buying a largo number of squirrels from a man up in the mountains that earns a living principally by hunting, and he tells the people down here that squirrels are pretty high up in the mountains—high up on the moun tains—but when they get down to him, skinned and dressed, they are pretty reasonable—only five cents each. Ho has bought nearly live hundred of the juicy little animals since he moved up there. I>t*H«*rv«*» .11 tuii I’ruint'. |('IcMiami Mar.) The Star notes with pleasure and hearty approbation the purpose of Limestone College, Galfney Gity, S. C., to establish a great department of history in a separate hall in con nection with the college to be known as the Winnie Davis Hall of History. The enterprising president, Lee Davis Lodge, deserves much praise for his successful ellorts to have this hall established, which not alone adds to the value of the college, hut is a fitting monument to tho beloved “Daughter of tho Confederacy,” whose name it bears. Too RttanllKtic Fop Catholic*. A bona fide Roman attended high mass at St. Albans, Holborn, at the earnest request of a ritualistic friend. The music was the same as tit home. The genuflections, Incense, vestments, nil satisfied the Roman mind. As for the words, inasmuch as they were In audible, they might have been Latin, for all a listener might discover. After the gorgeous affair was over his ritual istic friend inquired what his opinion might be of the entire spectacle, and this was Ills reply, “It is all very mag nificent, very beautiful, but I prefer the simpler ritual of the Roman church.”—London Church Gazette.

Voltaire said nearly 100 years ago In a boastful tone, “Before the begin ning of the nineteenth century Chris tianity will have disappeared fioin the earth.” * The Boston Transcript calls attention to the fact that since he uttered those words over 200,000,000 have been add ed to the Christian church, and the same room in which Voltaire uttered those words is now a depository of Bibles.
