Mr. Charles Roborts was ttao leading
an financially, socially and otherwise
H-, aSouthern Ohio town. Ho was
?tncipal stookholder in the bank,
soveral other enterprises, and
od besides a splendid farm a fow
.08 out in the country.
JIIh first wife, who had been an
.llanta, (Ja., belle of unusual gifts,
graces and accomplishments, had dlod
after four year s of married life, loav-1
lug to'the husband's eare two boys?
Henry and Koy. But so numerous'
were his business duties, that Mr.
" - Roberts soon found that ho would bo
unable to glvo them tho parental
attention. necessary to their proper
training; so ho had made a socond
matrimonial vonturo, his ohoico this
time bel?g and industrious and thrifty
kinswoman, of rather uncertain ago
and disposition. Miss Martha Willis
was intensely Northern in evory fibro
of her being, and bated everything
that smacked of tho South uncompro
misingly, and when she becamo Mrs.
Roberts, her feelings in this*direction
abated not a whit.
Henry, tho older of tho brothers,
had tho laughing bluo eyes, goldon
hair, and fair complexion of his
Southern mother, whllo Hoy was an
almost perfoct Itnugo of his father. It
was no wonder, tnoroforo, that tho
stepmother who saw In tho boys strik
ing represontatlvoa of tho two sections,
should soon learn to hate, tho ono as
?m* ?ardently as sho lovod tho other. Noth
iug-that love could desire to mako the
ono happy was loft undono, while no
opportunity to mako lifo unploasant to
tho- object of her Ill-will was allowed
to pass unused. But through it all
tho brothers romained faithful to each
other ?n conQdonco and love.
One Juno day in 1802, a party of
Confederate cavalry, well-mounted,
crossed tho Ohio Hivor and at night
camped noar tho town of 11-, above
mentioned. Honry, now about nine
toon years of ago, had beou intrusted
- with tho managoment of bis father's
farm, and returning late in tho day
from his work, ho passed the Con
federate camp. Ho was hailed by a
jolly young "Coufod" and Invited to
turn soldier. Tho next movulng when
tho company rode away, Henry went
with thom, leaving only a brief note
to homo folks convoying tho informa
tiyu-that. lv#Toti! jolnod tho Southern
forvlco.
What little Inclination there might
have boon in tho mind of Mr. Roberts
on tho receipt of this Information, to
take a oharltablo view of tho case was
dissipated by tho zealous arguments of
his wifo, so Honry was declared dis
inherited and orders wore give that
his name bo montioned no more in his
childhood's homo.
Tho torrlblo slaughter of Gettysburg
had eoasod at last and tho crash of
conflict was succeoded by tho pitiful
wails of tho wounded and dying. Just
whoro tho lost dreadful chargo had
dono Its foarful work, lay a youthful
form, whoso uniform of bluo was being
stained a rich crimson by tho lifo blood
which flowed from a ragged hole, in
his sido, whllo tho half-stilled groans
that would" break from his white lips
told of tho mortal agony ho was suf
fering.
Just beside him elothod In a ragged
suit of gray lay anothor youth, who
remained so still ho seemed to bo
dead; but presently he sat up and
looked about him in a dazed sort of
way, whllo a dark bruise across his
forehead showed where a clubbed
musket had struck, foiling him into
insensibility. Tho boy in bluo turned
beseechingly to him and said :
" Ploaso got mo somo wator, If you
can."
The Confederate quickly unslung
bis own canteen, which contained
considerable water, and gave it to tho
thirsty F?deral. Refreshed by the
draught, he turned gratefully toward
the ono who had favored him; in a
moment ho had raised himself on his
elbow, a groat, hungry, hopeful look
on his palo face, whilo ho cried, in an
anxious, trembling voice:
'?Whoaro you?"
"I'am Honry Roberts," answered
tho Confederate.
" And I am Roy !"
And then tho Confederate went
down on his knocs, and tho bluo and
gray wore joined in a sweot embrace.
The battlefield, tho war, tho years of
reparation wero forgotton, and they
wero boys again in each othor's arms.
Who shall try to plcturo tho scone
which lovo drew there amidst tho re
volting exhibitions of tho results of
civil hatred and trlfe ?
Prosontly Roy gently loosed his
arms from his brother's neck, and
said :
"Henry, I will soon bo dead, hut it
is all right. I will bo with our sweet
mother : but you are, a poor, homeless
wondoror. Won't you promiso to go
homo ?"
" Alas ! Roy," was the sad response,
" I have no homo now."
"But.if you toll papa that I asked
you In my dying hour to go homo and
sent you to him, ho will tako you
back. "I
"No, ho will not bollovo mo. but
will drlvo mo away," said Honry.
A spasm of pain, torrrlblo to oohold,
seized tho dying boy, and for a whllo
It scorned that ho would rally no more;
but his work was not yet dono, and
God spared him.
After awhile, ho said, in a weak,
husky voice:
"Henry, there is a letter in my
poekot from papa. Got it and my
pencil for mo, and I will wrlto him."
Tho articles were found, and, sup
ported by his brother's arm, tho dying
boy wrote on. tho black part of tho
paper.
"Dkah fathers I am dying on
the battlefield of Gettysburg, In
Henry's arms. Ho wants to como
homo, and my dying request to you is
that you tako him bank, and make him
your boy again. Good-bye. Roy."
This effort aboqt oxhaustod Roy's re
maining strength, and when tho letter
was folded and put away in tho safost
place tho gray rags afforded, the
brown hoad sank lower on his brother's
breast, theoyes bogan to close woarily,
tho trembling arms crept around
Honry'a neck.
"It's a long journey for you Henry,"
ho murmurcu, " but 1 will soon bo at
homo;" and thon ho was still, whllo tho
low sobs that burst from tho brothor's
heart intensified tho sadness of tho
dyingscono. Presently ho whispered:
"Sing' Rock of Agos,' Honry, won't
you 'r and directly tho swoot, manly
voico was hoard changtlng tho doar
old refrain?
Kock of Agos, cloft for mo,
Lot mo hide my sol f In thoo.
And as tho soft twilight gathorod
about tho earth, Cioutenant Roborts
passed away.
Two weeks lator, Mr. Roborts eat
in his ofllco eagerly scanning Gettys
burg's list of killed. As ho camo to
that of Lieutenant Roy Roberts, tbo
papor foil from bis baud, and with a
groan of almost mortal agony, ho
dropped in his chair, as palo as death.
A knock at tho door arousod him from
Iiis death-like stupor, und huskily ho
Called, "(k)ine In." Slowly tho door

Tho following letter from Henry
Ward Heeohor to his aon ia authontio
and should bo carefully pondered by
overy young man:
Brooklyn, n. y., Oct. 18, 1878.
I* My dkar Herbert : You uro
now for tho lirat timo really launched
iuto lifo for yourself. You go from
your futhor's houso, and from all
futility connections, to muko your own
way in tho world. It is a good timo
to mnko u now start, to east out faults
of whoso ovil you havo hud an ox
})orloncOj and to tako on habits tho
want of which you havo found to bo so
damaging.
" 1. You must not go into dobt.
Avoid dobt as you would tho dovll.
Make it a fundamental rulo : No dobt
?cash or nothing.
"2. Mako fow promises. Religious
ly obaervo oven tho smallest promise
A man who moans to keep his promises
cannot ullord to muko uny.
" 3. Ho scrupulously curoful in all
tttatcinonta. Accuracy and perfect
fraukuoss. no guess-work. Father
nothing or uecurato truth.
'? 4. Wheu working for othors, sink
yourself out of sight, sook thoir inter
est. Muko yourself necessary to thoso
who employ you by industry, lidolity
and scrupulous integrity, bullishness
is fatal.
"5. Hold yourself responsible for a
higher standard than anybody elso ex
pects of you. Deuiuud more of your
solf than anybody else expects of you.
Koop your personal stuudard high.
Never excuse yoursolf to yourself ;
Dover pity yourself. Bo a hard mas
ter to yourself; be lenient to overbody
elso.
" U. Concent)' to your force on your
proper business, do not turn olf. Bo
constant, steadfast, presevering.
i "7. The art of making one's for
tune is to spend nothing. In this
country any intelligent and industrious
young muu may become rieh if he
stops all leaks and is not in a hurry,
bo not make hasto ; be patient.
"8. Do not speculate or gamble
You go to a laud where everybody is
excited and strives to muko money
suddenly, largely, and without work
ing for it. They blow soap-bubbles.
Steady, patient industry is botli tho
surest und safest way. Greediness
: and huste uro two devils thut destroy
! thousands every year.
" y. In regard to Mr. B-, ho is a
Southern gentleman; ho is rceoiving
you as a favor to mo: do not lot hi in
regret it.
"10. i beseech you to correct ono
fault?severe speeeli of othors : never
sneak ovil of uny man, no matter what
tho facts may be Hasty, fault-lind
ing and severe speech of absent peoplo
is not honorable, is apt to bo unjust
and cruel, makes enemies to youraelf,
und is wicked.
"11. You must remember that you
(,ro to Mr. li-not to learn to manage
a farm liko his. One or two hundred
acres, not forty thousand, is to bo your
futuro homestead: but you can learn
tho care of cattle, sheep, tho culture
of wheat, climate, country, manners,
and customs, and a hundred things
that will bo needful.
" 12. If by integrity, industry, and
woll-earned auccess you deserve well
of you follow-eitizons, they may in

Do not sook thorn, do not recoivo them
while you aro young?wait; but when

" Lastly, do not forgot your father's
and your mother's God. Becauso you
will bo largely deprived of church
privileges, you neod all tho nervo to

[ was ruminating about this peculiar
superstition of the negro race. Ono of
their color has boon very sick in this
town and it got spread among them
that ho was conjurod, or " eonjud," as
the}' speak it, and right thero comes in
the dilToronco between the blacks and
tlio copper-colored and mulattos. The
belief in " cunjuring" seoms to be Con
fined mainly to tho block nogro. Old
Aunt Ann declares that ho was " oun
iud us sho' you're born, for he is turn
in' right groou." It was those same
black Africans who had all tho supor
stltlons about Brer Fox and B\cr I bib
bit. Wo hud all colora amongst our
slaves when I was a boy. but It was
only tho black, broud-noscd aud thick
lipped ones who^told us ?torlos by tho
cabin fires at night. They only had a
love for tho marvollous and tholr de
scendants havo It yet. Thoy believe
In hoodoo or voodoo and conjurln'.
They have a strong emotional roltgion
und *lf tho spirit throws them down in
a faint it is a sure sign thoy'vo got It
good. What It is thoy got I don't
kuow, but it suits thorn, und thero docs
not seem to bo any chungo in tholr
modo of worship. Education hus' not
mude any thut wo cun porcelvo. Somo
White pcoplo uro ulTootod tho sumo
wuy, but It is tho exception und not
the rule. With tho negroes It scorns
to be spasmodic. Its etYeets havo no
good intluunco after tho spasm is ovor.
Wo used to say of ono of our servants,
" Becky is going to out up to-day. Sho
foil down in a traneo lust night at moot
ing nnd had to bo carriod out," And
} she did cut up. Sho was tho nurse for
our children and thoy had to keep
away from her until sue got ovor hor
lit. Sho was aeeused of being a con
jurer and a black negro uamod Luke
swore out a warrant for her und Tom
Perry, the squire issued it, just to see
what Luke could provo. Ho Buid thut
sho mude him- sick in the buck und
kopt him sick, und ho handed tho
'squlro u dime thut sho gave him for a
cbieken and pointed out tho dark Bpot
011 it that wan the sign?the proof that
! sho had conjured the money before sho
j puld It to him. Thut was all. " What
Klo you wish done with bor V" said I.
j "Sho have to swaller de dime," he
said, "and dat break tho spell. I
I tried rabbit foot and 1 bury lizard un
! der do door and I pi At do old mare's
, mane when do rooster crow for mid
night, but it don't do no good. 1 is
dyin'every day." But Luke got well
and Becky didn't swallow tho dime,
either. Ono of my father's negro wo
itiou got jeulous of Minty, the cook,
; und determined to poison or cunjur her
, to deuth. Minty got sick and my
I mother told Juno to make her some
I chicken soup. Sho got from an old
j rag a red scorpin's head, a lizard's leg,
! a hut's wing, a botty bug und three or
I four contipedes or thousand legs, us we
1 cull them, und tho tail ot a green snake
J and had the horrible mess cooking in
a saueo pan when my mother happened
i in to see how Minty was und took tho
top off the pun to look ut tho soup.
Juno confessed that sho had beon gath
ering material for that soup a good
j while, and she wasn't much disturbed
j at tho discovery. Sho declared that
; Minty had OUnjud her husband I rock
I on she had. So my father hud to sop
; arato tho families. Now, did Shake
speare get his witches, caldron and its
venomous contents from tho eld Afri
cans of England ?
" Fillet of a fenny snake
In tho caldron boll and bako ;
Eye of newt and too of frog,
Wool of bat und tonguo of dog ;
Addor's fork and blind worm sting,
Lizard's leg und owlet's wing."
Tho superstitions of the rnccs is un
interesting study. All huvo them und
ull uro connected somo wuy with spir
its?wandering spirits?thut haunt our
pathway?unseen but not unmindful
of our destiny. Tho Indian tribes do
not seem to know anything about con
jurin', but they huvo many signs and
symbols and a revorenco for the greut
spirit. I read tho other day from ono
who was familiar with their customs,
thut every mule child of u chief or a
great warrior must bo mimed for tho
first thing or object thut* was Been
shortly after its birth. The old medi
cine man walked to tho door with greut
solemnity und eoremony und looked
out, und whatevor ho saw was tho
name of tho child, whether it was
" tlying cloud " or "hole in the sky,"
or "young man afraid of his horse," or
" setting bull." Thero was a Choro
keo chief who lived not far f-.-om hero
whose name was "Laughing Gal."
Somo hilarious maiden was in sight
when ho was born. Tho ancient Jews
hud a custom similar in somo rospcets.
Tho namo was connected with somo in
cident of birth. The great law-giver
was named Moses because ho was
drawn out of tho water.
But our superstitions aro not confined
to names. Very many sensiblo and
educated people will mako a cross
mark with tho shoo boforo they turn
back to get something they have for
gotten, somo will spit in tho cross.
Some put the shovel or tho poker in
tho nrepl&CO when a screech owl
moans near tho house. Somo will not
begin now work or a journey on Fri
day, aud almost everybody had rather
see the new moon in a elear sky and
ovor the right shoulder. For forty-live
years f have known a sensible, self-re
liant woman who will walk to tho
back door to get a lucky view of
tho new moon. Her husband makes
fun of her but will do tho same thing
on the sly. When wo moved into our
present house old Aunt Ann comforted
by wife by saying " mighty lino plaeo
?mighty nieo trees and all dat, but
folks say do house is haunted." Tom
Hood wrote ninety versos about a
haunted houso and they will mako
your hair stand on end if you havo got
uny :
" O'er ull thoro hung a shadow and a
four,
A souse of mystery the spirit daunt
od,
And said as plain as whisper in tho
ear?
Tho placo Is haunted."
The old poots und novelists were full
of superstitions. "Tho Ancient Mari
ner," tho witches in Macbeth and
"Tho I'hantom Ship," still charm us
with their mystory. It is well for us
that wo spend tho night in sleep, for
dai'kneSS adds to our childish tears.
Napoleon said that all men wore cow
ards by night, and I suppose thoro aro
but fow mon oven among the saints and
the philosophers who would fool per
fectly calm and serene while sitting on
a tomb stone on a dark and cloudy
night. My old army friend, Captain
Hockeuhull, an English man by birth,
told us ono night by the camp flros that
when ho was about eighteen somo of
tho town boys hot him u crown that ho
wouldn't go to tho charncl houso after
dnrk and bring out a skull. The char
ncl houso was in tho corner of tho
church yard. It had no door, but had
a w indow about ten feet Irom tho
ground, and as tho bones were taken
from old graves to mako room for now
ones tho sexton hauled them to the
charnol houso and threw them in, for
it was tho law that a dead man hud no
right to sloop in tho ground longer
than thirty years. . Hockeuhull was
poor and hud good pluck und wanted
tho crown very bud. So ho got a.little
ladder and placod it under the window.
Tho rascally boys had already boon
?thero and boosted ono of their number
un to tho hole and from thero ho lot
himself down easy and hid in tho cor
ner among tho bonos. " Hock," as wo
called him in tho army, felt around in
tho darknoss, and finding a skull was
olimblng to tho window, whin a deop,
ghastly voice muttered : " That's my
skull." Hook said It scared htrn nearly
to death at first and ho put it down
qulok. Thon ho thought about tho
crown and tho shame of cowardice and
ltegan to foel around for another, and
finding one noar tho window was about
to step up whon the same unoarthly
voice from tho same corner said that's
my skull." "Oh, you're a liar," said
Hock. " No man lias two skulls," and
he tossed It out and followed it In a
jilTy, uud carried It in triumph to tho
alohouso, whore tho boys were waiting.
I He got his crown and a good imputa
tion, but said ho did not fancy tho busi
ness. It takes both ago and religion
to drive away our superstitious fours
and reconooncllo us to that lonely
home, tho gravoyard, to which wo
shall all surely eomo. Tho comfort of
the aged is that this old body gots so
frail and besot with paiu it Is no shock
to shako it off aud bo a spirit?thut is,
if wo havo a faith that is suro and
steadfast?a faith liko that of Paul und

SKETCH OF tiuo NEW PRESIDENT.
Jeuu Cusimir-Perier bus a distin
guished aueestry. He is both grand
son aud son of ministers. His grand
fat her was tho president of .Louis
Philippe's council, and bis father was
a minister of Thiers.
The new president was born at Paris
in 1817. Ho is a rather small slender
? man, dark, with oval face and clear
j eyes, whose general appearance carries
I the idea of refinement and decision. Ho
' has something of tho military in his
; air, but ho spent only a short time in
tho army during tho Franco-German
war. Then he commanded a company of
the Garde Mobile, and won tho decora
tion of tho Legion of Honor for Iiis
! courageous conduct at the battle of
Bagneux. When Caslmir-Porler, tho
father, became minister under Thiers,
be had Jean Cusimir-Piorier for chief
.of cabinet, and this was the dobut in
j polities of the new president. Since
j 187li Cusimir-Perier has seen continu
ous parliamentary service. Tho great
questions of finance and tho military
establishment have occupied his atten
tion. Ho gained his first experience
as a member of tho government us un
under secretary, first in tho depart
ment of public Intstruotlon, afterwurd
iu that of war. Ho was chosen vieo
president of the chamber of deputies
und naturally was the ono to succeed
Ploquet as president of tho chamber,
When the latter had to givo up tho
office.
Casimir-Poricr was brought up amid
royalist influences, but became a re
publican fifteen years ago. Ho is very
rich. His wife was a Mile, do Scguur,
whoso fumily belong to the old nobility.
Ho is u bard worker, but not an orator.
To know him personally, it is said, is
to know a genial, shrewd, kindly man,
of agreeable manners and polite ad
dress, whose eouutenaneo is a truthful
index to his character, although it
bears, when more closely observed, a
Strange expression of mcluucholy,
amounting to sadness, which seems in
consistent with his genial character.
Tho Perlor family descends from a
notary who exercised his profession in
the vicinity of Grenoble, in Duupbino,

OEDAR SPRINGS ASYLUM.
Tho Commencement lOxorolHCH of an
Institution lor (ho Deal', Dumb and
Blind.
Very few peoplo aro cognizant of tho
oxeellont work done at Cedar Springs,
Spartattburg County, whore is located
tho State institution for tho Education
of tho deafs dumb and blind. Tho com
mencement exorcises took place last
week, and an immense throng wus pre
sent, niauy being unable to find stand
ing room in tho ehupel.
The first school for deaf mutes in
this country was established at Hart
ford, Conn., in 1817. Cedur Springs
was tho twelfth and was established
in 1849, Words could not toll tho
good that has been accomplished by
this institution in tho forty-livo years
of its oxistonco.
Tho program was exceedingly in
teresting and consisted of instrumental
und vocal music, class exoroisps by
tho blind pupils, sign recitations by
the mutes, und ossays.
Tho graduates from tho depart
ment of the deaf wero Misses Minnie
Jenny, Barnwoll County; Charlotte
Croft, Groonvlllo; Agnes Narramoro,

complish arid everybody present at the
exorcises last week wore filled with
grutitudo at tho noble work done at
Cedar Springs. This is a State institu
tion, and every deaf and blind child

an OIjD-TIME hanging. ,
a Sketch of Primitive Days in the
United State?.
Some recollections of life in the
United States during the period bo
tweeu 18:10 aud lH,f5 aro contributed to
Harper's Mugu/.ino by Charles D.
Dcshlcr, who gives somo vivid impres
sions of tho umusoments and excite
ments of those primitive but Interesting
times. Tho Middle Ages seem hurdly
more romote from moderu life thun
somo of the customs and tcencs" he
describes, as for iustuuee the follow
ing :
Executions woro not then restricted,
us they now uro, to tho prison yurd, In
tho presonco of a limited number of
witnesses, but woro celebrated con
spicuously on an open held, before u
lurgo und often rollicking uud tumultu
ous crowd oL^poctators.
Such u body I rouicmhor to have
scon guthorcd on such an amphitheatre
moro than sixty years ugo to witness
tho hanging of a murderer. The man
wus u farm bund, und well known.
When under the influence of strong
drink ho wus bullen, truculent, anil
dangerous ; but when sober, he wus so
proverbially quiot and Inoffensive that
lie was tho easy-going butt of his us
sociutos. While at work.one day In
hurvest-time, mowing a meadow near
town, he drunk freely, uud became
tipsy ; whereupon one of his comrades
Indulged in long-continued und rough
horse-play at his expense, till in an
access pf passioti inflamed by rum ho
turned upon his tormentor und slow
him ou tho spot. Of course ho was
immediately arrested, and novel' shall
I forget tho wave of horror that swept
over the little town when the news of
the murder wus bruited, aud the vic
tim wus eurriod to tho homo of his
parents on a barn door. During tho
trlul of tho homicide the court-house
wus crowded to overflowing with peo
ple, who Hooked in from the country
for miles around to I is ton to the grow
some details of tho slaying, und to
gaze upon tho murderer as be was es
corted to and fro by the constables be
tween the jail and tho court-house.
For several days Immediately preced
ing the hanging (that was before tho
day of railroads, it should be recalled)
multitudes from tho country for twon
ty and more miles around Hocked iuto
tho town to see the execution, und
some of them " to turn tin honest
penny." On the fatal Friday the "Big
Field" surrounding tho gallows was
fringed with booths and tents for the
sale of cukes, pies, small-beer, and
other refreshments, interspersed at
frequeut intervals with farmers' wa
gons laden with water-melons, musk
melons, apples, peaches, and other
fruit, tho enterprising vendors of
which drove a brisk trade under tho
very shadow of the fatal tree. It was
estimated that on that tragic summer
day over twenty-live, thousand people,
a lurgo proportion of whom were wo
men und children, were clustered
around tho gallows to witness tho dying
throes of the wretched man. And,
thoughtless boy though I wus, I was
shocked by the horrible indlffot'onco
to the dread event for that poor soul
which was manifested, aud by the still
more horrible jesting, profanity and
drunken combate that were indulged
In. It was a saturnalia of brutishncss
and indifference never to be forgotten.
A note of Warning.?Postmas
ter General Blssoll bus senttout a cir
cular letter to postmasters, warning
them not to interfere lu political
matters. Tho gist of the order is in
this paragraph :
" Tho Influence of Federal ollice
holders should not be felt In the mani
pulation of political primary meetings
and nominating conventions. The use
by these ollicials of their position to
compass their selections as delegates
to political conventions is indecent and
unfair, and proper regard for the pro
prieties and requirements of ofllolal
place will also prevent their assuming
the active conduct of political cam
paigns."
Mr. Bisscll was asked if his circular
means that no postmaster shall partici
pate in a political convention as a
delegate.
"It does," ho replied emphatically.
" Will a postumster who violates
I this order bo dismissed from the
service V" was asked.
"I can't say thut," wus the Post
master General's reply. " 1 cannot
sit in judgment upon an act that has
not bei ti committed. I cannot cross
u bridge, till I como to it. But 1 will
say that violations of this order will be
treated the same as violations of other
orders and regulations of the depart
ment, and when complaint is made or
charges are filed, they will be acted
upon in the regular course of busi
ness."
'?Then, it isn't a bluff ?"
"No, sir; it is not a bluff. It is its
serious and sincere us any order that
has ever emanated from this depart
ment."
?While some of tho reporters for
the newspapers were investigating the
condition of the coast sullerers, and
brought back damaging evidenco of
discrimination against Miss Barton of
tho Bed CrOSS society, Miss Barton has
gone to Charleston and reported that
tojsend more money to these people will
be on abuse of charity.
?Prof. W. N. Marehant states that
ho is not a candidate for Superinten
dent of ISduoation, und that ho bus
novor authorized the use of his name
us a candidate.
?Thus. E. MoorO, of Wollford, has
been elected president of the Tueapaw
cotton mill In place of Dr. C. K. Flem
ing, deceased.
?John B. Cleveland has been elected
president of the Whitney cotton mill
near Spartanburg, to mil the vaoanoy
created by the death of Dr. C. 10. Flem
ing.
ACTIVE EXERCISE
and good food in plenty, tends
to make children healthy. If
children suffer, however, from
Scrofulous, Skin or Scalp, Dis
eases?if their blood is impure
and pimples or boils appear,
they should be given the right
medicine. Dr. Picrce's Gold
en Medical Discovery brings
about the best bodily condi
tion. It purifies the blood and
renders the liver active as well
as building. up health and
strength. Puny, pale, weak
children get a lasting benefit
and " a good start" from the
use of the "Discovery." It
puts on ivliolesowi flesh% and
does not nauseate and offend
the stomach like the various
preparations of Cod liver oil.
It's guaranteed to benefit or
cure you, or your money is

Sunday, it was so warm within and
without a Scotch ( hutch that many !
of the congregation were sound asleep.
The Minister, Mr. RobertShirru, paus
ed in his Bortnon to exclaim :
?? Sold np your heads, my friends,
and mind that ueitner saints nor sin

All tho sleepers wore aroused but one
man. ?

Another elorgymuu was accustomed
to use sciontiHo terms which the peo
ple did not understand. A deputation
waited on him with tue request that
in the future., whenever he usod such
terms he would explain them.
On the following Sunday he USOd thl

to suy that at this moment the whole
of tny congregation are sound asleep,
it would Ii ? h'yporbolo: hut if I say
that ono-huif are asleep, tluit is no
hyperbole but tho truth.
The next day the deputation again
called, to say that * he minister need not
explain toe bun leal terms. Tin; people
would learn their meaning from a dic
tionary.
