NEGRO CHURCH BUILDING FUND, Methodists Raise $435 Sunday For New Building-Richard Carroll Writes.

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, 1908. To the Citizens of Laurens County, White and Colored: The pastor of the A. M. B. church, Rev. F. Y. Dendy, is a very valuable citizen to have in your community. He i is a good preacher and a good counsel lor and an energetic worker. The loss of his church by tire is a great calamity and no citizen should re fuse to help him and his congregation in time of need. The negro must have a house of worship to praise Cod in and hear the Cospel or he is doomed to de- i 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 Cod under their own vine ami fig tree.

One of tho stories of Peter the Great which are current nt the court of St. Petersburg is of the great czar's wres tling match with a young drngoou. Once In tho Imperial palace?so the story goes?Peter was at table with a great many princes and noblemen, ami soldiers wore posted within tho hall. The czar was in a Joyous mood, ?ad, rising, called out to the company: 'Listen, princes and boyars! Is there among you one who will wrestle with tho czar?" There was no reply, nnd tho czar repeated the challenge. No prince or nobleman dared to wies ' tie with his sovereign. Hut all at onco a young dragoon stepped out from the ranks of the soldiers on guard. "Listen, orthodox czar," ho said. "1 will wrestle with thee." "Well, young dragoon," said Peter, "I will wrestle with thee, but on these conditions: If thou tbrowest me, I will pardon thee, but if thou art thrown thou shall bo beheaded. Wilt thou wrestle on those conditions?" "I will, great czar," said the soldier. They closed, and presently Mie soldier with his left arm threw the czar and with his right ho prevented him from falling to the ground. The sovereign was clearly beaten. The czar offered the soldier whatever reward ho should claim, and he Ignobly claimed the privilege of drluklng free as long as he lived in all the inns belonging to the crown. What became of hhu his tory does not suy. ATOMIC WORLDS. There May Be a Billion of Thorn In ? Rptck of Dust. 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 see it beneath a micro scope? The scientists tell us that each atom Is a solnr system, with its central sun and revolving planets in their orbits, and that little atom people live and love and fight and die there and never know but what they are Just the big gest and most important folks that live. There are military atomltcs there, no doubt, who strut around and get tangled up In their swords and give orders In gruff voices; actor atom ltes who star In atomic theaters and are adored by lovely atomite maidens and criticised by the trenchant pens of the newspaper men. There is every reason to believe that life In the atom Is much like life In the earth and that the kings and emperors there make war on their distant ene mies and have their peace conferences and their periods of financial stringen cy. The Joke of it Is that they prob ably take themselves seriously, and, though there may be a billion atomic worlds in a speck of dust, there Is never an inhabitant of one of them that knows how small he is and how much he misses by not being a man Instead of an atomlte. 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 I 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 1 would be without food." For nearly forty years New Discovery has stood at the bead 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 last the longest, and often the history of these great men has been persistent neglect and worldly coldness until forty or more years have passed before their great ness has been conceded by their con temporaries. Truly "the life history of a great genius is almost Invariably one of a end and somber tone, a walk apart from the beaten path." Such are the words of one who should know what the "doers of deeds" must en dure. Bo this as It may, It is now recognized that many of tho finest achievements in business, statesman ship, literature and in all activities have been wrought by men long past sixty. Writes one, "No strong man will accept sixty as the arbitrary limit of his ambition and working ability."? W. A. Newman Holland In Century.
