(Methodist Preacher in the Christian City.) Hell has lost its powers as a deter rent from evil. When men were bom in fear, lived in dread, and looked on leath in horror, hell was a philosoph ical, rational and useful basis of re -itraint. Do not misunderstand me as suggesting that hell has died out The place o f its burning has moved It was made the terminus of sin, and >f it men were afraid. That was ra tional and right. We must teach me to dread the fires sin lights within. That is more rational and awful than iny fires that can burn without. Sin puts hell into men, not men into he: The hell of mediaeval days and mort nodern times, as far as any practical telping towards righteousness is con cerned, has gone out. But a more fearful hell is burning. Only a fev iave eyes to see it. The speculative hell is a subject for jokes of comic pa ters. Thank God. the hell of fact b tot yet a joke with men. He who mows anything of sin knows that sin tnd hell are synonymous. The church a.* lost the assistance of the strone right arm of moral law, because she pushed into the speculative realm a question that belongs to present fact. Hell is a present fact to those who know the kind of ilame that burns in every moral world. About Rheumatism. There are few diseases that inflict more tortue than rheumatism and there is probably no disease for which such a varied and useless lot of rem edies have been suggested. To say that it can be cured is, therefore, a bold statement to make. but. Chamber lain’s Pain Balm, which enjoys an extensive sale, has met wtih great success in the treatment of this dis ease. One application of Pain Balm will relieve the pain, and hundreds of sufferers have testified to perma nent cures by its use. Why suffer when Pain Balm affords such quick relief and costs but a trifle? For sale by Cherokee Drug Co. A man is never quite sure whether a woman is sorry or glad when she cries. Chronic Bronchitis Cured. "For ten years I had chronic bron chitis so had that. at. times I could not speak above a whispe.-,” writes Mr. Joseph Coffman, of Montmorenci, Tnd. “I tried all remedies available, but with no success. Fortunately my employer suggested that I try Fo ley’s Honey and Tar. Its effects was almost miraculous, and I am now cured of the disease. On my recom mendation many people have used Foley’s Honey and Tar, and always with satisfaction.” Sold by Cherokee Drug Co. EOUSLE HANGING AT TENNESSEE CAPITAL Two Negroes Pay Death Pen alty For Crime- SANG HYMNS ON THE SCAFFOLD EARTHQUAKES IN INDIA. One Had Killed His Crippled Child, While the Other Killed His Mother- in-Law Becausee She Caused His Wife to Leave Him. Nashville, April 5.—Andrew Hib- bett and James Scudder, negroes, were hanged together in the jail yard here at 7:55 o’clock this morning.

Lahore, India, April 5.—The Hill station in the Dharmsala was practi cally razed to the ground by the earth quakes. The native quarter was or- tirely obliterated, many of the inhab itants were buried in the ruins, most of the houses in the European quartei were wrecked and nine persons wert killed. The people are sloping in the open air, food is not procurable and the great distress prevailing is accen tuated by keen frost. The entire population is homeless and encamped on the adjoining hill sides without protection and practical ly entirely without medical aid. A rescue party was dispatched to Dharmsala today. The Europeans killed at Dharmsala were Mrs. Robin son, wife of the colonel commanding the troops there, and her daughters. Mrs. Holderness, Captain Muscrofl and four members of the Indian civil service. MINE SUPERINTENDENT KILLED The Newspaper. (Greenville News.) Ony man can take a newspaper. It is the cheapest thing he can buy. Ev ery time a hen clucks and has laid an egg his paper is paid for that week. It costs less than a postage stamp, less than to receive a letter. It comes to you every week, rain or shine, calm or stormy. No matter what happens it enters your door a welcome friend, full of sunshine and cheer and inter est. It opens the door of the great world and puts you face to face with its people and its great events. It shortens the long winter nights. It is your advisor, gossiper and friend. No man is just to his children who does not give them the local paper. No man is good to himself who does not take newspapers. Like a Lily in the Street. (Frank Stanton in Atlanta Constitu tion.)
