ONLY A CHILD. Little Wellie was only a child. Yesterday we should have said is. Today we say was. W hat a wide chasm yawns between the boundaries marked by those two little words! What a fathomless ocean heaves and roars between the things that are and the things that were! It is an ocean which no living man has ever passed. The bold mariners who launch their life-crafts upon its dark waters are heard of no more, and every day we watch our ships depart ing under full sail, and with longing eyes and yearning hearts, follow them into the hazy distance while all the time the white sails are shrinking and fading until soon the ships pass beyond the horizon and are lost to sight forever. How fare the ships on the mysteri ous voyage? Do the winds rend their sails and the billows roll across their decks?. Are they driven upon reefs and rocks and stranded upon wild in hospitable shores? Do fierce whirl pools rage in their path and suck them down to silent, unfathomable depths? Or do they reach with sails all spread some fair and flowery shore and ahehor in some safe and placid harbor where the spicy breezes blow and the tempests never rise? Alas! those ships are laden with the rich treasures of the heart, with the fondest hopes of this earthly life; and we stand here on this earthly shore and gaze on the distant horizon and vainly strive to penetrate the shadows beyond. “The passionate heart cries out to know the truth,” but the truth still lies hidden in the dark mysteries that forever elude our mental grasp. From the ashes of desolation we gaze with mingled dread and wonder, and we hope against all palpable evidence, that somehow, “good is the final goal of 111.” Only a child 1 Only a few months of unconscious infancy, then a short period of unfolding intelligence; then gleams of love and bright rays of baby-knowledge, then the rippling laughter that cheered the heart, and the placid smile that shed a calm and holy light over the hallowed pre cincts of home;—these are the mem ories that the little Wellies and Helens and Marys have lefttolinger like sweet incense around the family altar. Little Wellie was only a child, and when he died the great roaring world surged on all heedless of any break In the rolling tide. And when the hearse passed through the streets and men stopped in.their mad rush to ask who was d^ud, the answer was “only a child;” and the throng rushed on in the pursuit of gain or pleasure and thought of the child no more. There was no lull in the busy hum, there was no break in the living tide, for it was only, a child that the hearse carried through the dusty streets out to quiet and beautiful Oakland. And in the years to come when the little mound shall have settled down to a level W'th the surrounding surface, and there shall be nothing but two little stones to mark the spot where the child was laid, men and women will tread carelessly about the grave and perchance some one will say, “This was only a child.” Yes, only a child; a child that went in the morning when the shad ows were fleeing lo tire west and the day-beams were streaming up the eastern sky—when the birds were singing their early morning songs and the stars were going to God— then the child life took wings ami the little cradle after weeks of rocking stood still, and silence and awe and darkness settled down upon a house hold where joy and hope and sun shine were wont to dwell. Only a child! Yet the child had become a part of far-reaching plans and impressed its beautiful image cn all the hopes that tinge the on-com ing years with the roseate hues of promise. Only a child! Vet its tiny hands had clasped the heart strings of love with a grasp that w'll never be loosed while the citadel of life * may stand and memory may hold her sway; and when it died strong men wept, who had not wept before for years, and the loving hearts of de voted women were melted with pas sionate and inconsolable grief, and darkness and desolation came down like a pall on the home which, but yesterday, was radiant with happiness and love. Oh! ye whose homes have been darkened and whose hearts have been made desolate because little Wellie, or Helen, or Mary huji departed! Strain your eyes and peer still deeper into tho shadows, and you shall catch the gleams from tho light house near the distant shore. Sum mon to your aid ail the resources of your faith, and ye shall hear the Master saying, “Suffer little children to como onto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.” And of this rest assured: When time shall have tinged your locks with gray, when rolling years shall have brought great changes upon all that surrounds you, when your steps shall have become totter ing and feeble and the old home, which has been blessed with love through many a changeful year, shall have become overgrown with moss and vines—then a sweet child face, which never changes through all the shifting scenes of earth, shall peer at you out of the darkness and cheer your hearts with its real, living presence. NOT ICS AND COMMENTS. Our Government is almost every day receiving dispatches from Minis ter Conger, that have no date attach ed. This leaves the country in doubt us to whether these dispatches were genuine or bogus. In the mean time the allied forces are advancing toward Pekin, and it wdll not be many days before we shall know what is what. China cannot fool the whole world many days longer. R. K. Scott, the former infamous scalawag Governor of South Carolina, is dead, and there will be no mourners going about the streets in th>8 State. He is remembered with loathing by all patriots who re member the dark days of reconstruc tion and of “good stealing.” He sunk into obscurity when he and his thieving crew had been hurled from power, and he has now emerged to pay the debt of nature. Let him not be remembered with rancour, for he lias gone to his reward and will trouble us no more. The hot weather continues with unabated intensity. Tho whole State for the past ten days has been weltering and blistering under a blazing sun and the crops are parch ed and withered for want of moisture. The thermometer sticks close to the hundred mark, and there is no relief in sight. If the rains do not come soon the crops will be seriously cur tailed, though not completely de stroyed. Early corn is pretty well made and the July crop of cotton is secure, With the fine wheat crop made and harvested the country can stand a short crop of corn and cotton. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The opinion seems to be settling down and crystalizing upon the necessity, or at least propriety, of Germany’s taking the lead of the allied armies in China; and Count Waldersee is the man selected to lead the allied armies. We know nothing about this distinguished Count, but we do know that the allied armies in China need a head, and we endorse Waldersee, in our ignorance of the merits of other leaders. It is thought that Franco will kick against a Ger man leader, but France will have to lay aside her private prejudices and accept the demands of the situation as it presents itself. A Card •from Mr. Henry, Allow me to say to the Democratic voters of your county through your paper I have been denied the privil ege of a canvass in the solicitorial race by reason of a poisoned foot. I attended only three meetings in Ches ter county, near home, and found it aggravated the trouble every time. It is doubtful if it is safe for me during these hot days to utttmpt at tendance at any more of the meetings. As soon, however, us my physician thinks it is safe for me to travel, 1 will start again. 1 think it due the voters and my self to state this and 'ask my friends to take care of whatever interest I may have in the canvass. Yours very truly, J. K. Henry. Monnuii of lhr ItiiiindurlfN. r I he possibilities of the “animal story” are remarkably well shown by Mr. W. A. Fraser in his new tales, entitled Mooswu of the Houndaries. These are stories of Kod, the Roy, and the fur-beuring animals of the .Northwest and the half-breed trap pers who hunt them. Each of the tales teems with curious hits of wood- lore and Mttie-known facts about the moose, beaver, bear, lynx, fox and wolf Mr. Arthur Ilcming, who has illus trated the stories, is a sportsman and naturalist, as well as an artist. The first of the Mooswa stories will appear in The Saturday Evening Tost of September 1. Ouemloii Aiuitrureil. Yes, August, Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mothers’ and grandmothers’ never thought of using anything else for Indigestion or Bil iousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous Prostration. Heart Failure, etc. i hey used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fer mentation of undigested food, regu late the action of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches, You only need a few doses of Green’s August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there Is nothing serious the matter with you.

C., August 14 —The temperature averaged nearly seven degrees hotter than usual, for the week endingS a. m. August 151th, and on the 10th maximum temperatures of 100 to 104 prevailed over the whole State except the extreme northwest ern portion. The week was the hot test of the season, and the highest temperatures ever recorded in August occurred at a number of points. With tbe exception of light, scat tered thunderstorms in the central and western counties on the 12th, there was an entire absence of rain, and little or no dew during the nights. Dessicating, burning winds prevailed during the latter portion. The sky was generally cloudless. The high temperature, the absence of rain, the drying winds, and the bright sunshine were conditions that were extremely damaging to all crops, checking their growth, wilting, burning and wither ing them. Early corn was too nearly matured to be much hurt, but late corn failed rapidly and is in a critical condition for lack of moisture. Fodder is dry ing on the stalks, many of which have not eared, while many of the ears are in the milk, and on such the grain is shriveling. The heat and dryness caused cotton to shed leaves, bolls and forms freely, and also caused half-grown bolls to open. Premature opening is general. Rust is more prevalent than hereto fore, and sea island continues to blight and is taking on little fruit. The first new bale was marketed on the 6th, which compares with pre vious years as follows: 1899, Aug. 4; 1898. Aug. 9; 1897. Aug. 2; 1896, July 28; 1895, Aug. 20; 1894, Aug. 15. Picking has begun at a number of points, and soon will be general. Tobacco curing is finished. Peas are shedding leaves in places, but continue promising generally, al though in need of rain: River rice is doing well, but upland rice failed ma terially. Pastures and gardens are parched and burnt. Gane and sweet potatoes need rain badly, and are losing condition rapidly for lack of it. In places the hay crop will be short. The need of rain is general and for all crops. Correspondents report the general crop outlook to be gloomy. .THESE Ladies K HAVE NEVER Tried the^reat system regulator PRICKLY ASH BITTERS, Because they think if is [ nasty and bitter, disagreeable | To the stomach and violent in action.
