Rich ard Carroll sent the church a contribu tion of $5.00 and in writing makes the following appeal to the Laurens people: Columbia, S. C, July 28, 1008. To the Citizens of Laurens County, . White and Colored: The pastor of the A. M. E. church, Rov. F. Y. Dendy, is a verv valuable citizen to have in your community. He is a good preacher and a good counsel lor and an energetic worker. The loss of his church by tire is a freat calamity and no citizen should re use to help him and his congregation in time of need. The negro must have a house of worship to praise God in and hear the Gospel or he is doomed to de struction. It is very important that these people have a place to worship. I for one, though a Baptist, appeal to all to help our Brother Dendy to fix up his house of worship so that his people can serve God under their own vine and fig tree. Respectfully, RICHARD CARROLL.

One of the stories of Poter the Great which are current at the court of St. Petersburg Is of tho great czar's wres tling match with a young dmgoou. Onco in the Imperial palace?bo the story goes?Peter wus at table with a great many princes and noblemen, and soldiers wero posted within the ball. The czar was in a Joyous mood, and, rising, called out to the company: 'Listen, princes and boyarsl Is there among you ouo who will wrestle with the czar?" There was no reply, and tho czar repeated tho challenge No prince or nobleman dared to wres tie with his sovereign. Hut all at onco a young dragoon stepped out from the ranks of the soldiers on guard. "Listen, orttiodox czar," he said. "1 will wrestle with thee." "Well, young dragoon," said Peter, "I will wrestle with thee, but on these conditions; If thou throwest me, I will pardon thee, but If thou art thrown thou shalt bo beheaded. Wilt thou wrestle on those conditional" "I will, great czar," said tho soldier. They closed, and presently ttie soldier with Ids left arm threw tho czar and with his right ho prevented hliu from falling to the ground. The sovereign was clearly beaten. Tho c*ar offered the soldier whatever reward ho should claim, and ho Ignobly claimed tho privilege of drluklng free as long as he lived In all the inns belonging to the crown.

How would you like to live in an atom?to bo one of the millions of In habitants of a world so small that you cannot even Bee it beneath a micro scope ? Tho scientists tell us that each atom Is n solar system, with Its central sun and rovolving planets in their orbits, anil that little atom people live and lovo and fight and die thero and uover know but what they are Just thfl big gest and most important folks that live. There are military atomltes there, no doubt, who strut around and get tangled up In their swords and give ordors In gruff voices; octor atom ltes who star In atomic theaters aud are adored by lovely atomite maidens and criticised by the trenchant pens of the newspaper men. Thore is every reason to bellovo that life In the atom Is much like life In the earth and that the kings and emperors thero make war on their distant ene mies and have their peace conferences and their periods of financial stringen cy. Tho Joke of it is that they prob ably tako themselves serloualy, and. thong*- there may be a billion atomic worlds In a speck of dust, thero is never an Inhabitant of one of them that knows how email ho Is and how much he misses by not being a man Instead of an atomite. ? New York World. Thinks it Saved His Life. Lester M. Nelson, of Naples, Maine, says in a recent letter: "I have used Dr. King's New Discovery many years for coughs and colds and 1 think it saved my life. I have found it a reliable rem edy for throat and lung complaints and would no more be without a bottle than I would be without food." For nearly forty years New Discovery has stood at the head of throat and lung remedies. As a preventive of pneumonia and healer of weak lungs it has no equal.

Not Infrequently those mentalities that ripen the slowest lnst the longest, and often the history of theso great men has been persistent neglect and worldly coldness until forty or more years have passed before their great ness lias been conceded by their con temporaries. Truly "the lifo history of a great genius is almost Invariably oi'? of a sad and somber tone, a walk ap. t from the beaten path." Such are the words of one who should know what the "doers of deeds" must en dure.
