UNION, S. C., MARCH 17, 190A.
According to the returns as tabulated
by the Comptroller General
Union County has only029 dogs. We
venture the assertion that the city
of Union has more than half that
number. This being a new law
and the first time dogs had to be
returned at AO cents each, doubtless
many owners of dogs forgot to include
their dogs in their return. A
gentleman in our oftiec. said if the
authorities would pay him AO cents
a piece, he could find more, than
l?2b dogs in Union County.
To make, the Southern Cotton
Growers Association a full and complete
success, depends upon the
farmers. Sjx?t cotton went up to
Scents in New York this week, that
means 7 1-2 cents here. We read
in the Greenville and Sjxirtanhurg
papers that a number of fanners in
each of these places sold their cotton
on this rise in the price, that

WAITING AND WORKING.
The old adage, "All things com
to those who wait," does not tnea
a passive waiting for things to eon
to you. If we only wait witho
work, we would be like the fellc
who was waiting for something

tion, that he who patiently w
results, that is the results of
labor, is the only successful n

frequently crowned with sue

the man or woman who waits

SPIRITUALISM
In its Various Phases Define

Spiritualism has assumed, or o

we will; it is the same pow
still.
According to history, spiritut
ism was first used by the heath
priests, under the name of Fas*
nation, (meaning an unseen or i
explicable influence), they used
generally as a charm against pa
and disease. These heathen priei
claimed to be special favorites
the gods themselves, proving th(
assertions in the most satisfaeto
manner by the cure of discat
Some of them possessed this pow
in so extraordinary a degree, ai

as to be deified; having idol stf

Next as fascinators were the priei
of Kgvpt who took the greatest pc
sible advantage of the secret, a
made the knowledge, of it the last a
holiest of their ancient magic rit<

from all parts of the world. T
mode of proceeding was to previoi

being wrapped in furs and skins,
record of each ease telling the nai
of the person, the disease and t
remedy was engraved on stone a
left in or op the temple; and tin
inscriptions were for a long wh
the only record of practical me
ieine. Many of these ongrax
remedies have been translated ii
the ICnglish language.
After the Christian era, or duri
the middle ages, it seems a stran
fact that the knowledge or praet
of fascination should have been fc
gotten or passed out of use, exec

power and supernatural elai m
rest on the fact of his seeing and
as holding communion with both

ing of a spiritual sight which left
him still in the enjoyment ?of his
natural sjght.
Ir* A number of well attested eases
llc of Swe<lcnlx>rg's supernatural spirer
itual sight are recorded. He said
that many persons in the spiritual
state believed that they were still in
l\n their natural bodies and could not
be convinced that their spirits had

d body, the same evidence of the

who have lain for several days in a

Xii ?ixtli chapter of 2nd Kings is suf* a
ficient to prove that the spiritual s
<T world is around and near us. When t
lUS Elisha's servant perceived his mas- t
ros ter's house surrounded hy the war- i
riors of the King of Syria, who ev <
f,n idently came with a hostile intent,
VK! he. was extremely, frightened and

1 shall we do?" And Elisha answered
and said, "Fear not, for'
ems they that he with us are more than
rhile they that be with them." But as
this did not quiet him, Elisha prayt,ult
ed, and said, "1/jrd, I pray thee,
I open his eyes, that he may see,"
nc in ^nd the Lord opened the eyes of
