?parks IrVom Mi Lcudon's Sermons. Some peoples' Jaws are locked, leagues tied, and mouths closed like a bank vault; when it comes to saying anything for the Lord. The Pharisees' religion in the days ef Jesus, would make nine-tenths of Site church members of Sumter look UUe a plugged copper cent beside a government bond. The churches are being murdered ay these dignified, ossified, petrified, mildewed, eodflshy people. The devil of respectability, is s.urdsrlng spirituality. The Church members of Sumter assd not be afraid of getting Into fanaticism Y hi sre forty-seven bil? lion miles belcw where fanaticism be? gins. It has bee.i years since some of these boulevard churches has had a revival, and the result Is, that they save gone Into the cold storage, North pole. Arctic-region, frosty, icycley, brigade. We bear a lot about church prob Isens, such as the mill problem and ths rsral district problem; but th ? great problem that confronts IBS Church of Ood today is thesr hlgl toned. self-righteous, self-satisfied, pleasure-loving, sinners who are sub? stituting church membership, bap? tism, communion md a little church set i vit i??s for Christianity. Thcv font know any morr about repen? tance and regeneration and the wit? ness of the Spirit, than a polar bear. It's hsppenlng today as much as in tbe time of the Scribes and Pharisees; that th j temi/.e Is put in place of the Lord. The house and Its services, are esalted; and the Lord of the House Is set aside. Today, some of the most active ehurch workers have the most super Seta I experience, and some have nono; having lost It all, by placing their work sbove Christ, and the temple above the Lord of the Temple. M we preachers don't go to preach? ing as dying men to a dying people, you may read "Ichabod" on your door-post: "Thy glory Is departed." There Is a class of rren that never eessa to hear anythlrg from the spiritual and heavenly side. No warn? ing affects them, no thundering of the law movsa them; but perfectly im? mersed la the pleasure or pursuit of this world, they do not seem to have a thought. Interest or anxiety con? cerning another world. Thought Is aet exercised, conscience Is asleep, the soul, dead; and the Holy Spirir departed. The Gospel seems powerless to reach them. Every one sf the differ? ent messages seems to fall. No matter who preaches. It is the same to the lull-eyed, heovy-facj?1 -ongregatlon of the dead. The clear, faithful warning sent by ? od, through men; does not alarm them, nor appear even to lave been heard I have seen women with their ring em ringed, and arms jeweled with enough powder on their faces that if jou had kissed them, it e-ould have given you painter's colic, criticising aad condemning sacred scenes of grase, about which they knew no more than a Hottentot; until our souls fairly sickened within us at the revolting. Idiotic spectacle. The day after Balaam disobeyed the Lord, a mule could see more of ?od, than could that back-slidden prophet. Judas bought a ticket to hell for thirty pieces of silver; and didn't get a round trip ticket either. The way a lot of people live in the ehurch of Ood. you wou'd naturally think they had a through ticket to heaven. In a Pullman palace car. and were waiting for the porter to wuke them up when they headed Into the yards of New Jerusalem. But you will be sidetracked with a hot box. long before yuu get there. Death Is hull's currency, that a man will recet\ s for a life of sin. We hear so much In these days, of what the sinner has In natural ;;lfts and nobility. It mlgh: be well for ist to know whst he dues not have. I am almost afraid to make some ?elk laugh, for fear of breaking an antique piece of bric-a-brac 1 pity anyone who cannot laugh. There must be somethu g wrong with their religion or liver. The Bible description of um ? - generate humanity. Is a ways true to the fact; hut not complimentary IS the subject. The whiskey business Is the most damnable. ?tn-r?eklng. health-dt stroying. home-breaking, filth-breed? ing monster that ever wriggled, squirmed snd stsggered out of hell. Sin Is moral Insanity, and hell Is Hods Insane asylum. What do you think of a man wno tries to put the whiskey )>n<dne*s on a community'.' Well, it yog were to throw an emetic into hell, and If It should vomit up all ??f its hideous \ ilenese, a bout th<> lust an b BSgsl spewed out wnuid kg utter. |g pay estimation, than that bull-necked, but? termilk fs^ed. hog-jawed lobster. gom* people won t nun?? to heal me. because they are nfrald to hem the truth Thcv w.int deed l/? d, di^ Infwlud tenuous. They uro ufiald to be stuck over the edge of the pit, nnd get a smell of the brimstone. Some people say, "O, that fellow is sensational." Nothing would be more sensational in Sumter, than if some of you were suddenly to become de? cent. If a glass-reyed, bob-tailed, box mouthed, bow-legged, brindle bull dog were to come to my town and preach Jesus Christ, and get people converted, and the dtankard saved, and men to smash up their liquor, and the happiness of homes restored, and good citizens given to the com? munity; God knows I would fall in in with him. I'll tell you what's the matter: The church of God has lost the spirit of concern, today; largely, be? cause of the ministry. That's what's tho matter with them. I have held meetings up and down America for preachers of just about all denominations. 1 don't ti.ink I have ever seen one oi' the bunch yet, j who didn't hive religion; but I have seen some that the single tree was knocking the hair oft, their legs. FLAVORING EXTRACTS. A Druggist Tells us How to Get Bet? tor end Cheaper Flavorings by Avoiding the Cost of the Alcohol. My attention was attracted by an article published in your department of the Progressive Farmer from a lady in Georgia on economy in mak? ing your own lemon extract. This leads me to make a few sug? gestions for the benefit of the thrifty housewife. Tho first item will be lemon extract or essence. Lemon extract is made by adding 15 ounces grain alcohol to one ounce oil of lemon. Anyone can do that. But why do that? Take a small bottle to your druggist and get a dime's worth of oil of lemon. Keep well stoppered and in a dark place. When you want to flavor use four drops of the oil on the sugar that you are going to use in the cake or cus? tard, in place of one tablespoonful of extract. Rub the sugar well to mix the oil. When you want oil of orange be sure to c\) for sweet oil of orange and use .me as suggested for oil of lemon. For oil of peppermint use one-half the quantity that you would of oil of lemon. Fresh oil of peppermint has a delightful odor. For oil of cloves use same as oil of peppermint. Care should be taken in the use of the cloves on account of the strength of the oil. Oil of wintoigreen, oil of cinnamon, same as oil of peppermint. We rarely ever get true extract of v 'nllla. To make this extract re? quires one year's maceration of the bean, onsequently we get a com? pound usually labeled extract vanilla compound or vanillin and coumarin compound. When buying vanilla extract see that the label says vanilla extract and not a compound. All extracts of strawberry are arti? ficial. Banana and pineapple are the same. They are the compounds of alchols and ethers, harmless and very pleasant to the taste and smell. Making candy at home, rub a few drops of the oil desired on the hands when pulling the candy and the true odor will be imparted and the flavor unimpaired on account of the heat. Remember, nearly all essential oils develop the odor of turpentine with age. so be sure to get fresh oil, to get it in a small bottle, to keep tightly corked and In a dark place. R. P. Hackney, Durham, X. C. THE MEMORANDA OF BERLIN. Some Alleged Preliminary Deductions That Went Astray. Philadelphia Public Ledger. In the matter of prelimlniry de? ductions Germany went astray. Ac? cording to the memoranda of Berlin, England would be putting down civil war in Ireland, the P.oers would make a break for Independence in South Africa nnd the Indian Princes wipe out the Kastern BlUptTS of Cllve nnd Hastings; France would be still quarreling over the Calllaux affair; Belgium would be supine. Italy must stand by Its Teutonic allies; Alsace and Lorraine won Id resist the claims of Franco. About ?ho meanest hurt in the world is to get your finger fastened when pulling a door shut. If you don't believe it. try it sometimes.? >'partunburg Journal. SHOT WITH PAIU/Olt HI IT iE. Florence. T>oc.

Columbia, Doc. 22.?In his efforts to ascertain w hat has been done in South Carolina recently in the mati.er of sen? sible farming, Commissioner Watson has come across some interesting matter. The following letter from W. S. McCaskill of Conway, in reply to an inquiry from the State department of agriculture, will prove of great in? terest at this moment when the at? tention of all is turned to farming along new lines. "In April, 1111," writes Mr. McCas? kill, "I gave up steamboating and moved out of town in search of bet? ter health and located on a patched up parcel of former negro patches, 66 acres, composed chiefly of hedge rows, J stumps, worn-out ditches and briar patches. My first day s work was to set out 36 peach trees. They gave us a surplus of $26 the second year and $68 this year, selling in midsummer on local markets as high as 30 cents a dozen for Elbertas. ''My spray pump, which was per? haps the first om in the county, has assured my success, the argument of learned (?) neighbors to the contrary nothwithstanding. This certainly beats cotton, so I have bought trees for an acta and will keep it up. "Last year I raised a half breed Tamworth gelt and ventured to risk a small area in pasture. Bred her in May to a registered Duroc, have just gatherred $60 out of that investment, with the two choicest pigs left. This beats cotton for me, and I will en? large on the hog proposition also. "Have planted Irish potatoes two seasons on halves with a Baltimore commission house. They furnish the fertilizer, one ton per acre, and half the barrels. When the stand is good we get about 100 bushels per acre, which has paid well for the labor, which is mostly in planting and in harvesting. "We plant potatoes 2 1-2 feet be? tween rows. Corn is planted in the five foot alleys in April. After pota? toes are dug we plant what was the 2 1-2 foot alley in peanuts, and 'lay by* with cowpeas broadcast, making four crops plunted and harvested in eight months, all with one application of fertilizer. The corn averages 50 bushels per acre, peanuts and peas a very fair crop?which the hogs gath? ered and gave pork in exchange. This beats King Cotton so far that I have rebelled against that monarch. "A lack of agricultural education means hard times for too many thou? sands of us. Scientific methods are the exception and not the rule in this county, but under such methods to? bacco nets around $250 per acre, strawberries $500, etc. The clovers grow to perfection here. Velvet beans, soy beans and most of the pasture grasses do well and still very few of us would recognize one of those plants if we met It in the road. We are not from Missouri, but we need to be shown." MANUFACTURE OF DUCK RE? SUMED. Columbia. Dec. 23.?The Columbia Mill Co., received instructions to be? gin immediately the operation of 40 looms in the manufacture of duck, and employees to operate this machin? ery were secured, it was learned Tues? day. The source of the instructions was not mentioned. Orders received that necessitated the operation of these looms were reported to be relatively small but they were de? scribed as a "forerunner of expected better business." This announcement told in effect that the manufacture of duck would he partially resumed after a complete suspension of more than six months. Business men In Columbia interested in the manufacture of cotton goods seemed inclined to the belief that re? ceipt of these orders by the Columbia Mills Co., constituted an indication of an early improvement in the market for manufactured cotton. After a lapse of four months, during which Iht mills was closed down, operation of the rope manufacturing plant of the mill was resumed early in October, giving employment to about 100 operatives. other opera? tives were secured to manufacture duck.
