REVIEW OF THE WEEK AT LAKE CITY.; BEANS BRING FANCY PRICESCHILDREN'S DAY OBSERVED-A I $1,500 FIRE. NO INSURANCE. Lake City.June 5:?Mr S W Gowdy was in Manning the early part of ihe week. Mr J J Harris, who has the con trace ior erecung i-nc uunu>u6 the Farmers' Bank of Olanta.started work this week. The prices of vegetables are holdins: up remarkably well. This is especially true as to beans, of which it may be truly said that a good ? crop this year is equal to a gold ? mine. Of course, the growers are bewailing the short crop, due to the excessive lack of moisture, but they should remember that it is the short crop that makes the prices high. Only three or four or rive car loads are shipped a day. This seems rather small when compared with former years, yet if account be tniror. that at nrpspnt Drices each car! represents $750 to $1,000, results are not so small. Almost invariably early vegetables bring fancy prices at the beginning of the season, but as a rule by June 1 the market gets so low that shipments from this section cease altogether. This season, however, prices have prevailed high all along, and even this week our shippers have sold solid cars as high $2.50 to $3.00 per basket. Cucumbers are doing well in prices, but the drought is killing the plants. . Last Sunday Rev W B Boney ten- i dered his resignation as pastor of the Lake City Baptist church, the resignation to take effect September 1. The resignation was accepted. No cause was assigned for the step, further than that it was taken upon mature deliberation. It is not known where Mr Boney will go. W L Bass, Esq, is in attendance upon the supreme court in Columbia this week. Last Sunday was given over to the children at the Methodist church, it being the "Children's Day" of the Sunday-school. The exercises - -n consisted of songs, recitations, etc, ,bv the children of the school, and acquitted themselves nicely and rendered the exercises very enjoyably. At the close, Rev Mr Derrick, the pastor, made a good talk. The church was splendidly decorated and the attendance was all that could be accommodated in the building. Up to a few months ago wrecks on the Atlantic Coast Line were very rare. A passenger on one of its trains was as safe as at home. \ Now, however, a change seems to be going on. Wrecks are becoming frequent, and more and more frequent each week. What is the trouble? Is it the lure of the big dividend? Are the faithful employees Heine driven out by cheaper men? Or is it all due to a feeling of immunity from punishment at the hands of the courts and juries? Rev L F Alston, the pastor of the African Methodist church in this . town, was arrested Friday on a warrant issued in Georgetown, where he was taken Saturday,he having failed to secure bail here. The charge is breach of trust. We understand that it is claimed that he appropriated to his own use church funds put into his hands for other purposes, but further particulars have not been learned. This preacher has been having. considerable trouble with his church here for several weeks, and the matter seems far from being j, ended. tu^. nf Mr William .Tov UIC 1C01UVUI.V ...? ^ ner, near Liberty church on Lynch's p river, was burned Saturday afternoon. It seems to have been another case of defective stove flue, as no other cause for the fire has been discovered.The fire broke out soon after dinner, and in a very short time thereafter everything except a few trunks and some clothing was in ashes. The house, which was built by Mr Louis Baker about fifteen years ago, was a good one and could not be replaced for 81,500. The loss falls heavily upon Mr Joyn?r and Mrs L E Baker, his mother-'n-law, who lived with him.^There was no insurance. W L B , HEZEKIAH'8 GREAT REFORM II Chronicles 30?Jun# 11 "ITan looketk on the ontwartt appearance. Put the Lori looheth on the heart."?I Samuel M.I. Kino hezeeiah of Judab has a wonderful record as a man of God, a reformer, a patriot, yet be was the son of a bad father, who In turn was tbe on of a good father, who tn turn was tbe son of a bad father. Tbe alternation between good and bad for four generations illustrates tbe fact that, although heredity has much to do with every member of our race, nevertheless, there are counter-balances In nature. We are all members of Adam's family, and as such ws are all sharers In the general weakness, mental, moral and physical, which for six thousand years has descended upon us. St Paul refers to this, saying, "By one man's disobedience sin entered into ? the world, and death as the result of sin; and thus ^ I death passed 3^ A ? I nnnn all man _ because all are The downward -^f-~5L or 6lnful tenden- I cy inbred In our v ery con stltution to overcome It The best that D"?#*ffidoU. any of us can do is to set our wills in opposition to our inherited weaknesses and to fight courageously against them. The Apostle assures us that if it were possible for humanity to fully gain such a victory over its fallen self as to bring itself back to perfection, then doubtless God would have provided that way of salvation. Hezekiah the Reformer The King's father had introduced idolatrous worship?erecting altars and groves to the worship of Baal. God's temple was strewn with rubbish. Under the direction of the King, the I Levites began a cleansing work. It required eight days to carry out the rubbish from the court, etc. Then the i priests, who alone were authorized to enter into the Holy, or temple proper, were directed to cleanse the temple itself. But as a preliminary work, before the cleansing of the court or the temple began, the King directed that the priests and the Leyltes jangtlfy thgm! selves afresh to the Lord and His men. In this connection let us remember the power of the tongue, of which the Apostle said, "Therewith praise we God. and therewith curse (or Injure) we men." Let our tongues and all our powers be used In blessing the people as well as In praising our God. . , The King wisely began his reformation at the temple and gave the priests and I.evites the first share therein. It was later that the Idols of the city of Jerusalem were gathered and hurled Into the valley of Kedron, and It was after the fervor of the Passover occa sion that the zeal of the people in gen- < eral rose high, and they went forth all over the land, destroying the Idols, the groves of Baal, and every symbol of disloyalty to God. And so today: Everywhere the light of our day Is showing more and more of the meanness, selfishness, corruption?some of it centuries old, and some of it bred of special privilege and opportunity. The call for reform is beard on every hand, although sometimes but feeble. The proper place for reform is, as in Hezekiah's day, with the sanctlflcatlon of the priests and the Levites themselves. If the Church of Christ could but J faithfully perform her responsibility, [ under the direction of the King, it would mean a great revival of religion. service. How appropriate! How in harmony with the words of the Prophet Isaiah, who lived at that time and who was the Klng'rf counselor?"Be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord's bouse!"?Isa. 62:11 But let us not forget the Instruction . of St Peter upon this subject Com* faring the priesthood of Israel With the Institutions of the Christian church, 8t Peter gives us the thought that ] the priests of olden times do not find their antitypes In the clergy of today, ' but In God's saintly or sanctified people, whether In or out of the public ; ministry. Thus St Peter says to all of the con- , secreted Church of Christ "Ye are a Royal Priesthood, a Holy Nation, a peculiar people, that ye should show forth the pssdses of Him who has called you out of darkness Into His marvelous light" tw niui.. I The conclusion of tbe feast was a Divine blessing upon all tbe people, through the Priests a: 1 Levltes. So there goes out a S&>. Divine blessing from the Lord's sanctified people Elks ?from all the ffVr cousecrated of the household of faith?to the peoto their nelgbMSy^T /J friends and visi fial jtors from afar.
