TUB SABBATH. J
This is the day ot rest: SI
Our fatting strength renew ;
On weary brain and troubled breast J
Send thou thy refreshing dew. t|
This Is the day of peace:
Thy peace our spirits flit;
Bid thou the blasts of discord cease, e
The waves of strife be atUL ^
This Is the day of prayer ; ,
Let earth to heaven draw near "
Lift up our hearts to seek Thee there: p
Come down to meet us hero.
litis Is the first of days: '
Send forth Thy quickening breath, ' ti
And wake dead soulr to love and praise,
O Vanquisher of death! P

There is an old saying that ai
"Hell has broke loose in Geor- 7^
gia." It looks like it might have 1
broken loose in Lancaster county 11
last Saturday. y

Although Drevlus is again con- P
victed on the charge ol treason, a'
there are very few people outside
of France that believe him guilty. ir
The London Times refers to the h
verdict in the following vigorous b'
language: "We do not hesitate to V(
pronounce it the greatest and the ft
most appalling prostitution of h
justice the world has witnessed c<
in modern times. All the out- w
rageous scandals which marked s'
the course of the trial pale into ss
insignificance beside the crown- Ir
iug scandal of the verdict.''
The courtmartial of Alfred
Drey 1 us at Rennes, France, con- w
victed him of the charge of trea- M
son Saturday by a vote of 5 to 2. p
lie was sentenced to ten years ^
imprisonment. It is thought by
some that this ten years of
imprisonment-sentence will be
wiped out by the tive years of solitary
seclusion he has already
undergone on Devil's Island.
Others over there think that he u
will have to undergo ten years b
imprisonment yet, unless, per- n
chance, the President pardons 11
him. ?

Crops have been badly damaged s

dreary winter months, he may '\
enjoy the good things which the s
Lord, through His boundless 0
mercy, has given him and what a g
sad thought when we realize how c
unthankful mankind is, and how *
T
disposed he is to be inclined to y
treat a merciful God with con- t
empt. ?
There was a rare treat in the
ray of a lemonade social given
>y the ladies of Tabernacle church,
>t the residence of Dr. Sapps,
ast Saturday night. There was
large crowd of young people in
ttendance, notwithstanding the
breatening clouds that were
overing, dark and low, over old
lother earth and promising a
ood bathing to all that would
enture out. The social was a j
omplete success and a nioe little c
um was raised, for which the n
oung ladies extend thanks to all c
liat were present. s
Well, Mr. Editor, after all J
njoying themselves so well one
oung man was very unfortunate,
aving his best girl with him he ^
roceeded on his way to her
ither's home. As it happened
lere was no moon to shed its
recious light on their pathway
nd therefore it was very dark n
ideed, but nevertheless they ^
rrived safely at her father's res i!
lence, which was surrounded by f
lany beautiful elm trees and this *
oung man being so captivated ^
y his sweet heart's charming a
resence, his mind was so c
bsorbed in the things that per
lin to matrimony, that, on tak
lg his leave, he actually drove v
is buggy over one of these p
eautiful elm trees. This was j,
ery unfortunate for him indeed, t
>r his girl's father on finding that q
is tree was so badly torn up, a
Diicluded that this young man y
as failing in his eyesight, and *
mply scratched his head and c
lid : ''It does look to me like he
light see an elm tree as large as ^
lat one." More anon.

A CAMP MEETING HOW.
'wo White Men and One Negro
Shot, hut None of Them Hurt
Seriously?How It Ileqan.
A difficulty occurred last Satrday
morning about 11 o'clock
etween some white fellows and
eirroes at the colored ennm meet I
tiir at Mt. Carmel, 8 miles south
f Lancaster, in which t wo white
ien, Frank Ilough who lives in
he eastern part ot this county,
nd Frank Hough, son of Mr.
imos Hough of Kershaw, were
hot, the former seven times and
he latter live. A negro preachr
by the name of Johnson was
Iso shot. None of the wounds
re regarded as dangerous, and all!
hree parties are getting on all
ight. There are live negroes in
ail, charged with doing the shootng,
viz : (Jeorge Patterson, Ed.
'ruesdel, Columbus Truesde).
Vm. Curry and Aaron Curry. The
irst lour are charged with the
hooting of the two Frank Houghs,
nd Aaron Curry with shooting
iev. Johnson.
From the most reliable infornation
we have been able to get
t appears that the two Frank
loughs were the cause of the i
rouble, having gone there in a .
mgtrv together pretty well charg
d with dispensary booze. They 1
Irove through the grounds shoot e
ng pistols promiscuously. Ilav- ']
ng gotten through, they turned t
nd came back firing as they went,
hey then inquired for the marhals
and attempted to shoot one 1
f them, but the pistol was knock- *
d up. Tho negroes then began c
hooting and when the smoke ^
leared away it was found that r
here were three men wounded.
?he number of shots fired was *
ariously estimated at from 200 1
o 500. Several shots struck Mr. t
fim Adams' buggy in which he
fas sitting at thin time, and ona
ihot grazed the leather belt of a
dr. Trueedel. All the shota fired
teem to have been aimed at Ihe
,wo Frank Houghs.
The shooting produced a stam>ede
among the negroes. Who At
>nce began to leave for their
lomes in every direction. Ten or
i dozen wagon loads of them
lasted through her# that evening,
ind it is said that almost the enere
crowd had left the grounds
>efore night.
The affair is unfortunate for
>oth the whites and the colored
onnected with it, and if it does
lot put an end to Negro camp
neetings in Lancaster county, it
hould be a lesson to white people
rlio go to them filled up on mean
iquor.
Two Million Gallons of Milk
Short Every Day.
C. D. 8MEAD, V. 8.
Yes, two million gallons of
ciilk more could he made in the
Jnited States daily than is made
t it were not for the little pestierous
flies. Bosh ! some will say
rho read this; but let us see?
gures don't lie, no never. There
re in round numbers 8.000,000
ow8 in me united States being
nilked at the present time and
10 one of experience will say but
that each cow on the average
rould give a quart more milk
ier day if it was not for her be
ng tormented by the flies. We
hus find we would have 8,000,000
uarts or 2,000,000 gallons worih
t the present price of milk
rholesale $170,000, as a daily loss
o the farmers who are keeping
own for dairy purposes. These
igures are enormous. Let us
>ring this down a little finer ; yes,
ring it right down to the farmer
rho only keeps five or ten cows,
'en quarts of milk short, means
\ loss of twenty cents daily or $6
ier month. True it would n-?t
ireak a farmer down, but it. is
he little leaks on the farm that,
loes in the end prduce a sheriff
ale. And this is one of them
md it becomes each and every
ine. no matter what their ln.o ..f I
msiness, to stop the little lesks.
>Ve are living in an age when'
his mast be done or the business!
vill go to the wall sooner or larer
3ut what about the flv leak?
low stop it? Yes, stop it, and do!
t cheaply and with no great out
ay of strength. There are a grent
nany elements that are safe to
landle, aod theircost is hut lif?le
hat will either kill flies outright
>r when properly used keep flies
rom tormenting cattle scarcely
it all. Common kerosene *.!l ho
iially kill some of the fl w if
hev are drenched with it. Crude
jetroleum is better for the rcHson
hat it is not as volatile and will
ast longer when applied t- the
:ow. But better still is a mixture
>f equal parts of fish oi) and crude
>etroleum. Any of the carbolic
iheep dips that are prepared ami
>ut on tho market when .liluded
vith an equal amount < f water

vi 11 practically keep the fit as
rom doing any serious damaue.
\lso will the various agents put
ip as fly preventatives and sold
o the general public. They will
lot, any of them, do a'l that is
ymeumes ciAimed they will do.
['hir is no idle theory ot mine,
)ut lam ni vinn the results of peronal
experimentation of the elenentfi
I speak of. Jt is idle to
alk that any remedy can be put
>n the animal once per week that
vill keep the flies away ; yet that
emedy may be a good one when
)roperly need. Kerosene is good,

from 50 to 75 cents) spray tl

fine spray from two to three fe

thrown so quickly and so fine
it that even the flies can't g
away from it in large numbei
and a large number wil) be i
drenched that they will soon i

no danger of enough herosei
getting on the cow to injure hi
at all. But I much prefer any 1

either case is trilling, even if tl

and I firmly believe that is tl
only true way to apply any
them. A teaspoonfnl will effect
ally put a spray drop on evei
hair of a cow, and can be put <
with a pump in less than 30 se
| or.J-, when the cows are in tl
I stable. It will thus be seen that
gallon costing $1 will do an ii
mense amount of spraying if usi
every morning. This is what
have done, and the resu't is
one week's time I have reduci
I the number of flies in my cc
stable over one half. The milkii
is done in comfort to the milkt
and when the cows are turn d
pasture there is scarcely a swib
of the tail or stamp of the fo(
Now, all this was the result
thoroughly spraying the anim
every morning with one of tl
carbolic sheep dips, reduced on
| half with water. When I si
thorough 1 mean simply cnoui
to make the hair just moist, n
I drenched nor wet enough to moi
I ten the skin. Applied in this wi
a teaspoonful will do it all. H
don't nun a sprinkling pot nor
brush; nor think you can just
well apply it in some other wa
for you can't do it. But get tl
pump and do it just as I advis
and you will kill off half the til
and prevent the balance doii
you or your cattle any hari
Yes, I use it on my horses to son
extent. But when driven in tl
dust it sticks to the hair. That
the objection, so I spray it on tl
legs and use nets on the body.
