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.

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

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 ?

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"
