The State Legislature adjourned last Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock. Thorn wArn nnlv n fAw niflmhers nrea ent in either house. Another lire occurred in Park Avenue, New York, last Saturday, causing the destruction of considerable property and the loss of 18 lives. This makes the third fire that has oceurred in Park Avenue since January 1st. In which many lives were lost. It seems our Christmas celebrations in the fireworks line will hereafter have to be handled without the eannon cracker. A law has been passed prohibiting the sale of these crackers in this State?over three inches in length. It is a good step. These enormous crackers filled with dynamite or some other powerful explosive, were very dangerous. In traveling through the country upon various occasions we have noticed thut there are a number of roads branching out from each other that have no sign board at the fork to direct the traveler. We think this a very important matter. There should be a sign board at every one of these forks. We think it would be a good plan for the Supervisor to see to it that his road overseers have these beards put up. On Monday, Senator Frye, President pro tern, of the Senate, instructed the clerk not to include the names of Senators Tillman and McLaurin in the morning's roll call. One of the first things he did Tuesday morning was to order the clerk to restore the names of the two Senators to the roll. He explains that he is desirous f shifting the responsibility to the flsnats. McLaurin has demanded an investigation of the charges against him by Tillman, that he sold out to the Republicans. jWe think that the point has been reached where an investigation should be had. There have a -i- - ? oean cnarges ana counter-charges between these two Senators. Let the fall light be turned on and if either la found guilty let the axe fall and hare It done with. The people are tick and tired of this mud-slinglng business, The "Davidson Colloge Bulletin" is the name of a new Journal that has reached our desk. The Journal has 20 pages inside the covers. It is published by the college and will appear monthly. It has a fine half tone cut of tbe college building in its initial numhftp Wa mioi. . ? ? V# man IV OUUUCSSt We think it would be a good idea for >ery college or school of importance to publish a monthly Journal. It would tend to develop the literary talent* of the students as nothing else would. We believe it would be a good plan for our graded school* in Union to adopt. There seems to be blood on th? moon that hangs over the senatorial - chamber in Washington. Now comet a wrangle between the two Senaton from Maryland. They did not go s* fai mil * ? - b unman ana McJ.ftnrin, but one oi them tells the other that if he would repeat his statements outside th? Senate he would tell him that he Otteva a cowardly and malicioui falsehood, at this point he was called down. What's the matter at Washington? We suggest that referees be appointed and admission eharged and the floor be converted, for the ttase being, into a regular prize ring and let all those Senators so inelined eerap it out to th?lr fnll satisfaction, and get through with it. They may then possibly be willing to transact business, and let np on personalities. I OBITUARIES. We frequently hare obituaries sent in with the request topless# publish. If those contemplating writing obituaries will look at the top of first column on editorisl page they will see that obituaries and tributes of respect are charged for at half rates. If you will count your lines after writing it and multiply the number by four you will come very near what it will cost to have it published. It Is rather] singular that very often these requests come from those who are not even subscribers to the paper, accompanied by the request to "pleas* send me half a dozen copies of the paper containing this obituary." They seem to think it is conferring a faror on the paper to send in an obituary, and we should not only publish it gladly and without charge but should gire the writer as many oopies as ho may happen to want besides. These people seem to lose sight of the fact that our space is our stock in trade and is a meaos of winning our daily bread. And it strikes us that they could with as good grace step into a store and ask that a sack of flower be sent around to their home, gratis, because perchance, the merchant has a big stock of it on hand, and would like to get rid of it. Yes, he wants to dispose of his flour, so do we want to dispose of a certain portion of our space but wo wen w?ui> its equivalent in me spondullx. When a person dies, we willingly make mention of it gratis in Thf. Times, and if there has been any record of a well spent life, or his life ' has been such as to set a good example to others we giro him iull credit for it, and often devote considerable 1 spaee to his demise. All this we do without eharge. But here the matter ends with us. Should the loving relatives have some tribute to his memory which they wish to have appear in print so it may be preserved, that is purely a matter of a personal or family nature in which the readers generally of the paper ara not concerned. This being the case, it is no more than reasonable that they should pay for the space the article occupies. We know that if any * thinking person will stop for a ino[ ment to consider the matter they i will see that we cannot afford to in, sort these tributes of love and respect to the memory of a departed one free of charge. The Times is a newspaper and endeavors to fill the space left by our regular advertisers, with ' news. An obituary is not newe in i any sense of the word, as nine times i out of ten the notice of death has ap( peare<f weeks previous. We caonot be expected to be personally inter ested in these articles neither are oui 1 readers, outside of the sorrowing i family, and as we do not wish to of * , nuu *iij uue we nope you will remember this; that your obituaries 01 tributes of respect, must be paid foi to secure space in The Times. We think Tillman's apology to the Senate for his and McLaurin's fight in the Senate Chamber was worse than the offense so far as eur State is concerned, when he said: "I had never had any legislative experience when I came here and my previous service as Governor of South Carolina for four years had unfitted me in a measure to enter this august assembly with that dignity and regard, proper regard I will say, for its traditions and habits and rules that is desirable," was an outrageous insult to the State of South Carolina, the State,that has heaped its most choice laurels upon him. It is a direct reflection upon the highest and most important office of the State, the office of Governor. To attempt to excuse his conduct in the Senate by casting such a reflection upon the State as the above, is inexcusable and utterly without foundation. What is there, we would like to inquire, in the duties of the Governor which would tend to unfit a man for ' 1 ? 1 * - " " uuuuuuuug mmBeir as a high-toned gentlemen, anywhere, and In any aoolety, or assemblage, even in the , august assembly referred to abore Y I We art not so much surprised at him , losing eontrol of his temper as we , ate at his words of apology. Wonder , what the listening senators thought of Sonth Carolina, after the above ' delivery of one of her former Govl ernors? It is fortunate that South , Carolina had established an enviable ( record for the nobleness, bravery, 1 gallantry, perfect manners and gen1 tie breeding of her sons long before i Tillman stepped upon the stage. McLaurin in his apology states that ( he did not realize that he was in contempt when he called his colleague a ' liar on the floor. We eertainly dei plore the occurrence. They should have curbed their temper until they Cot on the outside, where they could ave fought to their hearts' content, while their humble constituents at home would have applauded and exclaimed: "Lay on Mao Duff and damned be he whoflrsteriee enough." ??? Sociability a Christian Duty. We hear a great deal about the need of a re-statement of doctrinal belief. The orltioal research and fruits of scholarship in general lead eorne to fear for the old faith and doctrine. There is considerable noise and not a great deal of sense in the cry for a re-setting of doctrine. It seems to me that the re-adjustment of method, not doctrine, is what the cause of Christ most needs. The average church has coino to a dead stop because it follows methods n century old in its activities. We are in the ruts, and woe be to that muu who seeks to pull out of the ruts! The fathers met once a month; an old ba*n was good enough for them ; they did not take up so many collections; it was a pleasure to go to church in the olden times?and it is the old way that most people wish tc walk in when it comes to these matters of method. The old doctrines ol Grace are just as potent today as evei hAfnPO ' AI1P wroolrnAoo 1 ? An I ? 4- U J TT vun.uvoo 11CO 1U DI1U UI reotion of method. We are not keeping touch with the people and with each other. Old, fogy methods are still in vogue among most congregations, while the whole social and economical life of the people has changed. We preach about "the masses" and vainly long to preach tc "the masses;" what we must do is tc go after "the masses." If wo do not go after people we will never find them. And it is needless to go aft-ei them with a sanctimonious message about a spiritual life of which you are a good specimen ! You must gc after men socially, physically, and in that way you may hope to find them, Through the physical you may hope to reach the moral. To reverse the process is to build the top of the chimney before you lay the founda tion. \nd unless I am woefully mistaken, the method I am insisting upon was the very method Jesus sel up! This I hope to show as I gc further in this discussion. Church members must uubcnd, get oil theii high perch and go about the saving oi men through the method that Jesus has taught. It is the individual aftei i the individual, the personal touch, the heart-beat responding to the heart-beat that is to save this world We must "break bread" with people , 1 we must have peoplo "break bread' with us, if we are to fulfil our mission, There is no surer way to get intc close touch with others; indeed, is not this the only possible way? The 1 social needs of men and women, young and old, must be met. The social cravings must find satisfaction in lawful channels or they will seek satisfaction in unlawful ways. We 1 say to our young people: "Do not dance, it is wicked ; do uot play cards, it is wicked; do not gather about the pool table or the gambling table, these things are wicked." All well ' enough as far as it goes, but it does not go far enough I We must not only shut the door upon forbidden ' pleasures; we must also open the 1 door to lawful pleasures. What good is 1 there in the christian people of Union 1 preaching to young men upon the ' dangers of the pool room and the gambling den while at the same time they shut the doors of their homes in the faces of these very young men, We must warn as to these places of danger, but let us also open our doore ' and offer a seat around our cheerful fireside. It is not only the young people that peed the inspiration and gladness and diversion that christian hospitality has to give. What a i waking up we should see in our church life if sociability were more manifest. Our doors and our heurts must be open. We must 6ay to our brethren, sisters and friends: "Come in !" We must say to the stranger: "Come and eat with me." We must know each other "through the breaking of bread." Did you ever consider how much this social idea entered into the life of Jesus while he wasjen 'earth? His first miracle was wrought at a marriage feast. Some festive occasion forms the back ground for many of his sweetest parables. The Prodigal goes off to "be in want." He comes home to eat "the fatted calf." Many of the most touching scenes in the Lord's life are brought out in connection with some feast or supper. Think of Jesus going home with Zaccheus. And what a scene is that of Jesus dining with Simon; during the meal the woman that was a sinner annoints his feet with oil and wipes them with the hair of her head. Think of Jobus at the home of Lazarus, and the scene there?Mary sitting at Jesus' feet, Martha troubled about serving. Think of that last supper in the upper room. And here Jesus establishes a memorial. He uses the bread and wine. "THU do in remembrance of me.'' After the Lord had arisen from t.h? falls Id with the two disciples as they are journeying along. They do not know him. When they invite him in he is ''known to them in the breaking of bread." On the lake shore he 1 invites the disciples to come and eat ' the broiled fish. But why multiply these incidents? There is a great 1 lesson here for us. Let us learn It. This Is by no means all there is in 1 Christianity. This is but a side-view 1 of this glorious inheritance. But it Is a fact that to under estimate tnis factor is to do violence to the Christian life and rob it of much of its effective* ness among men.?The New Local 1 Churoh.
