They sent a decoy letter with marked bills from Buffalo and addressed to some point in North Carolina. All hut one bill disappeared from tho letter in its transit through tho postoffice here. Nicholas was at once arrested and part of the money was found on him. A clear case is mado out against him and he will doubtless find a hard road ahead of him.

Upon my return from Columbia this afternoon, 1 was much suiprised and greatly shocked to find that, through some oversight at the office, this week's County Messenger, of; which I am editor, contained a let- j ter rcflectng seriously upon the management of the State Penitentiary. No information of any such article was given mo before my departure for Columbia early Thursday morning the 12th, and had 1 been here such an article would not have appeared, as the office has instrctions to refer all articles of a political nature to me. 1 desire to make all possible amends to Capt. GrifTeth for this article and have already apprised him of it and had friends of mine confer with him. You will, therefore, confer a personal favor on me if you will make no reference to this article in your columns and destroy the copy of the paper which contains it. D. II. Cokkr.

"A meeting of opponents of the State dispensary system was held here tonight, at which it was decided to inaugurate a campaign against the system, and to sec to it that a tight is made in every county." The above statement was given to the press last night by Itev. L. J. Bristow of Greenwood, at the conclusion of a conference which had lasted for several hours. It is apparent from the statement that more will 1m; heard from the meeting l iter, and that the purpose is to organize for a tight against the dispensary all along the line. While Mr. Bristow is well known as a prohibitionist, there were a 1111m! or niv.cuni ,? ??.. ...... ... i ! ........

More than twelve years, at a convention of the Maryland Christian Endeavor Union, an address was given by Dr. Maltbia Babcock, of Baltimore upon the "Success of Defeat." It seemed a curious subject for a convention full of young people full of hopes and ambitions, but that the message was one that reached their hearts was proved by the eager demand for it in printed form, a demand so steady that twelve years later, and three years after Doctor Babcock's death, a new edition of it has been published. It is in this last edition that the story is told of the mission of its message of courage to two despairing men. The day after the address was given in Baltimore an anonymous note readied Doctor Babcock, with this question: "Could you have given that address, and meant every word of it, if you were living in a loft on seven cents a day?" Doctor Babcock at once made every possible inquiry, bui no trace of the writer could he discovered. The lack of signature to the letter of course made the trail a blind one to follow; but the postal authorities were consulted, the services of the mail-carriers were enlisted, and every effort made to trace the letter. The clergyman was at last forced to drop the matter of the authorship of the note. It was a cry out of the depths, but the hands so eager to aid could not reach the one evidently in such terrible need. Si.x months afterward, in a distant city, Doctor Babcock gave the address again, telling at the same time the story of the anonymous note. At the close of the service a man stopped to speak to him. "Doctor Babcock," he said, "I think that 1 know your scvcn-ccntsa-day man. In fact, I know of two men in your city struggling for a medical education upon just about that sum." So once more the inquiry was begun, and finally, after weeks of searching, the men were found, two of them living in a belfry in a distant part of the city. Crushed by circumstances, cynical and hopeless in regard to the future, they had been almost in despair when they had heard Doctor liabcock's message. That gave them courage to keep on with the struggle, and when at last lie found them, after his long search, his personal friendship and influence completed the work begun by his sermon. Out of disheartenment, hopelessness, failure, came the hope and purpose of new and stronger lives, j The incident is n. striking ilbistrn tion of one of the most wonderful facts of life?the comfort, the inspiration, the courage held in trust for those in need, often hy utter strangers. "How great is thy goodness, which thou has laid up for them that fear thee," David cried, centuries ago. For every sorrow, every temptation, every doubt and despair, comfort and help arc stored up in other hearts; there is never a need mode known that there arc not hearts eager to answer. And when it is not known? When no human soul hears the cry?
