Dr. Crothers of Cambridge, in an Ad?
dress in London, Puts Blame on
A Secularism.
The Rt. Rev. Samuel M. Crothers,
of Cambridge, Mass., has been the
subject o? much notice on account of
an address he delivered a few days
ago at a meetin " of the British and
Foreign Unitarian Association. He
, said: .
I "American 'civilization has evolved
men from whom Americans turn back
affrighted. Americo does not keep
these men, however, they come to
' England to spend their money.
"The hardest thing in America is to
bring to a man the conviction of sin.
The Americans are unreasoning op
^ timists. A preacher might stand at
the street corner and cry, 'Reprent, re?
pent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is
at hand;' and the comment of the
good-natured, prosperous citizen
would be, "I guess that's all right. The
Kingdom? of Heaven is coming sure
enough, and I guess we're it.' But if
r~* one urged on him that if he did not
repent the Kingdom of Heaven would
. not be at hand, he would only smile
and say, "I'm all right. Let the other j
f?low repent.' " i
To believers in ecclesiasticism, he i
rsaid, America stood today as a hor?
rible example of the results of secu?
larism. In New England there were
country communities that had re?
lapsed into paganism, and were stand?
ing examples of the futility of mere
little sectary n communities. That
region was a place where there stood
' no one great church with sacred as?
sociations, only a few little meeting
houses, scarcely attended by the peo?
ple.
One of the serious problems in
American today was this growing pa
? ganism of country communities. There
. was no religious teaching, sectarian or
otherwise, in American schools, and
religious people there had begun to
ask: "Are you not educating the new
generation of men intellectually with?
out educating them morally, making
them keen and quick to achieve, and
""^.mbrdous, but not giving them the
^guidance they needed for a true citi?
zenship?" That was another of the
great and ferrible problems of Ameri?
can life.
A thoughtful American would admit
that their liberty, which had been
" preached for generations, had pro?
duced lawlessness, and tha~ material?
ism was growing. Yet, while he ad?
mitted the evils, he would say: "Your
old remedies are absolutely impos
b!e to us." The cry of the Americans
of today is not "Less liberty," but,
"More ordered liberty."
America was now passing through
one of the greatest moral and religious
crises since? the great movement for
the abolition of slavery. If American
politics we're corrupt, the people were
not indifferent to it, and those who
; were working in the cause of morals
and religion had a sense of finai vic?
tory that had not possessed them for
generations. The two most popular
preachers ^"""America were Andrew
Carnegie and Theodore Roosevelt.
They appealed to the masterful ele?
ment in young men. Carnegie had
said: "Get rich, and the.; bestow your
wealth for the good of the communi?
ty." President Roosevelt had urged:
"Give yourself to the public service,
disinterestedly, honestly."
America needed a generation of
fearless men who could neither be
bribed nor threatened. Today the
United States were repenting that sin
of materialism of which they had in
the past generation been guilty, and
-were seeing the necesssity for finer
and higher ideals.-Boston Herald.
Modest Claims Often Carry the Most
Conviction.
?When Maxim, the famous gun in?
ventor, p' teed his gun before a com?
mittee <JZ judges, he stated its carry?
ing power to be much below what he
felt sure the gun would accomplish.
The result of the trial was therefore
a great "surprise, instead of disap?
pointment. It is the same with the
manufacturers of Chamberlain's Col?
ic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
They do not publicly boast of ail this
remedy will accomplish, but prefer to
let the- users make the statements.
"What they do claim, is that it wili
positively cure diarrhoea, dysentery,

Asthma Sufferers Should Know This.
?Foley's H"ney and Tar has cured
many cases of asthma that were Con?
sidered hopeless. Mrs. Adolph Bues
ing, Tr,l West Third street. Daven?
port. Iowa, writes: ""A severe cold
contracted. 12 years ago was neglected
until it finally grew into asthma. The
best medical skill available could not
give me more than tem por i ry relief.
Foley's Honey and Tar was recom?
mended and one ZO cent bottle entire?
ly cured me of asthma which had
been growing on me for 12 years. If
I had tak*n it at the "start I would
have been saved years of suffering."

I have prevented the playing of the
? game in Darlington yesterday, for,
! since the organization of the Jeague,
j there have never been brighter pros
i pects for a brilliant game. "Baron"
Wenig was to have worked for?Dar?
lington and "Red" Russell was on the
firing line for the Game Cocks. Both
j teams were eager for the fray.
A.i enormous crowd, numbering not
less than 2,000, filled the grand stands
and occupied the side lines. The game
was started in a drizzling rain, and
before the first inning had been con?
cluded the rain came down in such
torrents as to. render further playing
impossible. It was necessary to cinch
the gate receipts, so when a slight
holdup came five innings were hur?
riedly played, it being understood that
no ball should be knocked out of the
diamond. At the conclusion of this
farce the game was called.

The State Between Friends.
An Indiana State official, now under
conviction for embezzlement, was "the
victim of circumstances," according to:
the view of some 21,000 friendly cit?
izens who signed a petition to the
governor, praying that he be paroled.
And it clearly appears from Governor
Hanley's statement denying the pray?
er that this is true. The governor
points out that the official, imme?
diately upon coming into office, took
$20.000 of State money to pay his per?
sonal debts-being an honorable debt?
or and having no other resources. A
little later he had -the misfortune to
lose $10,000 at cards-the State treas?
ury- naturally s.anding the shot. Again,
he invested the public's money in oil
wells and gold mines that turned out
badly, and friends to whom he. lent
sums that were in his official keep?
ing neglected to pay him. In short,
circumstances seem to have formed
a perfect conspiracy tb victimize the
unhappy official, who actually lost al?
most every dollar that he stole.
The 21,000 citizens who signed the
petition in the official's behalf are.
probably no different from their
neighbors, except in that they, or
many of them, know the man per?
sonally, and so are able to see him as
the "good fellow in hard luck,"
whereas others see simply the thief of
public funds. Probably not one of
them would condone pocketpicking ;
or burglary, but the State is such an
impersonal, intangible thing; its
money doesn't cost it anything. It is
hard to visualize a crime against it
when there is a good fellow on the
other side. What is the constitution
between friends?-Saturday Evening
Post.
A Vital Point.
Col. "Pete" Hepburn tells of a
lawyer prominent in Iowa who was
much given to spinning metaphysical
distinctions in his arguments before a
jury. On ene occasion, says Mr. Hep?
burn, the learned lawyer appearing
as counsel for plaintiff offered such an
obstruse explanation of the difficulty
giving rise to the suit under trial
that the jury were soon hopelessly
befuddle i.
At this juncture counsel for the de?
fendant took a hand, telling a story
to the jurors that resulted in the dis?
comfiture of his opponent.
"The learned counsel for the plain?
tiff," began the opposing lawyer, "who
is so successful. OS! a rule, in getting
away with hir . spun distinctions,
reminds me of other eminent lawyer
of this State who was once retained in
the defense of a man who shot a
neighbor's dog. The proof was clear
that defendant had said he would
shoot the dog; that he brought out
his gun in broad daylight and loade ?
it: that he took deliberate ain it the
?log. and that at the crack of the rifle
the dog fell dead, with a bullet hole
through him.
"But the eminent lawyer con:-n ie 1
that this was an instance of merely
circumstantial evidence, and that ir.

that il" a single link wert wanting

worthless. Although there was proof
of the threat, the loading of the gun.
the tiring and the death of the deg,
.yet.' concluded the eminent lawyer,
"what witness has testified that he saw
the bullet hit the dog?' "
The jury was so impressed by th's
tale, concludes Mr. Hepburn, that they
soon returned a verdict against the
"fine-spun' lawyer.-Harper's Weekly.

COL LUMPKIN WITHDRAWS.
Makes Fermai Statement-Says His
Determination Is Due to Changed
Conditions in the Campaign.
Columbia, July 6.-Col. Lumpkin
has withdrawn from the race for the
United Slates senate. Ke has a good
reason, which he does not care to give
to the public, and his withdrawal, he
says, is not due in any measure to
fear, but for reasons over which he
has no control. He .has been very
much gratified at the promise of sup?
port which he has received from al!
over the Stale, and he would have
been glad to have gone through
with the campaign to the end.
He was not sanguine enough to pre?
dict that he would receive the Demo?
cratic nomination, but he said last
night that he :*eels sure that he would
have received a much larger vote than
a great many people had suspected
and he was depending upon circum?
stances to pul!, him through the race,
but for reasons which seemed suffi?
cient to himself and his closest friends
he had deemed it best to retire from4
the campaign.
in a signed statement to the read
ears of The S:ate, Col. Lumpkin last
night said:
"On account of the change of con?
ditions surrounding the senatorial
race, I deem it best to withdraw from
the contest. I have endeavored to
conduct my campaign in a manly,
straightforward way up to this time,
and retire feeing .that I have not in?
tentionally wronged any one.

Mr. Manning on Local Option.
The following is from the platform
of Mr. Richard I. Manning printed in
the Columbia State, June 26:
"I wish to say here, frankly, that I
do not advocate loca! option. I am op?
posed to it. It sounds plausible, fair
and Democratic, and it would seem to
afford an enticing plan, for the reason
that it would be so easy apparently to
satisfy all parties, but this view seems
to me to be superficial. I believe that
we ought to have one thing or the oth?
er. It sounds like good Democratic
doctrine to advocate local option and
let each county dc what it pleases with
this liquor question or any other, but
;:s a.matter of fact it does not seem to
me to work out and promise satisfac?
tory results. As far as the Democratic
view of it is concerned, is it not merely
an arbitrary adoption to take the
county as a standard for local option ?
If this principle is carried out it seems
to me that it would soon carry us to a
reductio ad absurdum. It would be
carried from the county to the town?
ship and on to the family and individ?
ual, which would mean that every
man would be a law unto himself,
with little or no restraint of law or
consideration of others. Is it not
equally, if not more, Democratic to
submit to majority rule for the State,
and let the majority decide what plan
shall be adopted for the regulation of
this liquor question.
f"Mr. Brunson argues against local
option from thc standpoint of prohi?
bition. While I do not agree with
him on the prohibitive feature, I think
he is entirely right in claiming that
local option would simply mean
patchwork and would prove unsatis?
factory, and that if one county had
prohibition and another county had
liquor, the county having prohibition
would reap the evils of liquor without
hiving and counteracting benefit. So
much for local option."
