Accoanitm to the Greenville News, South
Carolina is in about the same political fix as
Georgia. It says: “ rhero aro two well de
fined factions in the Democratic party in
this SUte. One of them has been pra ti
rally in power, and is responsible for and
defends its own methods and acts. The
other condemns and oppoaea the ideas and
many of the methods of recent adminis
trations. This last faction is certainly res
pectable in numbers and character and is
believed by many people to reprerent the
great majority of the Democrats of the
State."

Where Extremes Alert.
Suicide is only the last mistake in a life
of error. It is a result of growing causes;
generally the logical, and sometimes the
inevitable, result. Tho subject is'one that
has been studied from every standpoint,
with end without the aid of statistic?.
Iiice, religions, climatic, psychologic,
moral and physical causes have keen as
signed it, and theories plausible and per
haps largely defensible have been advanced
to account for theso tragedies, which shock
and puzzle humanity now, as they have in
all ages.
To the theorist and the statistician we
may safely relegate the wide consideration
of this theme, but tliero are aspects cf it
which arise in the newspaper province and
can be profitably considered. It is clearly
within tho purpose cf journalism to fix sig
nificant facte in the public mind and argue
the primaries from them.
Perhaps many have observed that sui
cides, not the result of insanity, occur
chiefly among the very poor or very rich,
the larger proportion being with the
former. Tho middle class, and by
this is meant tho laboring well-to-
do respectable people of ell occu
pations, is not a frnitf ll source of suicidal
tragedies. Surely in this fact, and fnct it
is, so fat as relates to mere observation of
cases reported in the daily journals, thero
must he something of value in the consid
eration of the suicidal phenomena. Very
mtly a young man in a neighboring city
was fonnd dead with a bullet through his
brain. He had been reared in comfort and
began life in fair circumstances. He began
descend the slant, which leads so snrely
rain, almost imperceptibly. From
occupation to occupation he drifted, los
ing gradually fortune, usefulness,character,
friends, resolution and self-respect. He
became after a while an unavailable element
society, useless and purposeless, anatom
that found itself repelled. His chance was
gone beyond hope of return. One morn-
there wkb tho crash of a pistol iu a
obeap hotel and the doors were forced open.
Upon the bed he lay, with a death wound
bis bead.
The lifo of this young man is being lived
out in every city of the land by more than
care to estimate. If he had been called
upon in the last moment to namo the great
r of his life, the single great error,
would probably have replied
that thero was sons. It had boen
down hill with him always, a little char
acter lost here, a little there, a want of
resolution in this plaee, a failure to per
form io that, and so on; and he would havo
added— idleness.
Before ns lies the record of another life
just ended by suicide, which is in the other
extreme. It is taken from a New York
telegram;
"Theodore B. Bronson was a typical
young man abont town. His mother was
niece of Bishop Wainwright, and his
father, who died abont six years ago, left
Theodore, who wav bis eldest son, the bulk
of his enormous fortune. Young Bronson
was graduated from Harvard in the sum
mer ot 1879, and started on his career as a
bntteifly of fashion. It took him jnst six
months to becomo unutterably weary ot
this routine life. One fins day he turned
his back on ‘society,’ and left ger
man-leading and small talk to bi.i
yonnger brother. From the hoar .when he
ont loose from conventional moorings he
became s figure in the world of sport. Ho
was s trained gymnast sml contortionist,
and his friends believe that his perform
ances permanently weakened his spine.
As an amateur boxer Bronson was very
courageous. He also achieved a reputation
ss an excellent shot, both with the shotgun
and tho rifle. Last season on s single
morning at South Oyster Bay he brought
down with bis own gun twenty-fonr brace
ot docks. Ho wss s magnificent steeple-
chase rider and rough rider across the conn-
try. His hone. Blackbird led tbo chase on
nearly every occasion.
"In 1874 Bronson entered into partnership
with his brothor in-law and opened a bro
ker's office. He retired after a year's experi
ence, having materially increased hir capi
tal. He bought Lackawanna at 8(1 and sold
ont at 138), thereby clearing a good round
■am. Afterwards he went to Paris, bought
some shares in an Austrian railroad on the
Boons when they sold at 2ti and after
wards unloaded them at 43. Mr. Bronson
wss well educated and a master of four
modern languages.”
This man died from idleness. It appears
that be never labored after leaving school,
lie had temporary occupations that amoved
him, bat his life lacked the zest born of
hard labor and well-regulated habits, and
tha honn made necessary by snoh labor.
He was a victim to himself in lito, aa well
as in death. The suicide which shocked
his friends had been going on in their
sight for yean. It was a slow journey to
death, the feet traveling always to the
grave though tha face wss turned in other
direction* nntil the last few moments.
Thera is a strong, healthy lesson in these
extremes, which meet at the grave, ths idle
poor and tbo,idle rich. It will do every young
man good to sound his purposes at times
and ask himself the question, am I, too,
committing suicide? It will do him good
to bear in mind that death, self-inflicted, is
the end of a eerie*, end that it is only worse
than the condition that precedes it. The
fo k in the roads is a long ways back. The
man who yields to idleness and an irregn
lsr lit* selects a weapon for stlf-destrne
lion, and unless swifter disease overtakes
him, is apt to us it some day. Disease
spoils more suicides than repentance.

Next week the Georgia Synod meets in
Spurts, Georgia, and will dispose of the
case against the Iter. Dr. James Woodrow,
who is charged with heresy. The case
against Dr. Woodrow grows out of bis
address to the alumni of tho Theological
Seminary at Columbia, S. C„ in which in
stitution bo is tho professor of Natural
Science in Connection with Hevelation, ss
well as President.
This address dwelt largely npon evolu
tion, was circulated in pamphlet form, and
at once provoked severe critici-.m from the
Presbyterians in every direction. At a
meeting of the board of trastocs of tbo stm
inury, resolutions reflecting npon bis ad.
dries wtro voted down and it was formally
approved. Tbo question wss then carried
before tho fonr synods of Georgia, South
Caroline, Alabama and Flonds. A board
of directors representing theso con'
detuned bis teaching, but refused by a nie
jority of one to eject him from bis chair.
The question was at last brought before the
Presbyterian Goneral Assembly at Augusta,
Ga., last May,and a committee on evolution
brotight in the following report:
"The church remain, at this time sincerely con
vlncrd that the Scriptures, a* truly ami antbarlta*
lively expounded lu our ‘Confusion of Faith' and
Catechism, teach that Adam and Eve were created
body and soul hy Immediate acta ot Almighty
Power, yhereby preserving perfect race unity; that
Adam's body wee directly feshloned by Almighty
God, without suy natural animal parentage of any
kind, out of matter previously created of nothing,
and that any doctrine at variance therewith la dan
error, inasmuch a. by methods of Interpret
ing Scripture which it must demand, end In the
consequences which by felr Implicetlou It will In
volve, it wiUleed to e denial of d ctriuee funds-
mental to the feitb."
This was adopted by an overwhelming
vote. Then a committee recommended the
closing of the seminary, apparently to get
rid of Dr. Woodrow. This was not
adopted, but the General Assembly urged
the synods to dismiss him and appoint
another man in bis pines.
In the meantime tho Doctor bad been
charged with heresy. Ho was tried in An
gust, nt Augusta, und acquitted on all
counts of the indictment by a vote of 15
to 9, and the prosecution appealed to the
Georgia synod. This is the oase that will
be tried next week.
It will be seen that the case no longer
hingos npon the teaohing of evolution nt
Columbia. Until the synods act npon tho
recommendation of the General Assembly
and dismiss him, Dr. Woodrow is tuaHter
of the situation. Tho charge now is heresy,
tho main specification being that he bad
held "that the body of Adam was probably
not mado or created of the dost of the
ground, a* is universally understood by tho
chnroh to be tha declaration of the Word of
God, but of organic matter pre-existing in
tho body of a brute."
Dr. Woodrow's answer to this is probably
embraced in the following quotation from
him: "The Scriptures do not teach God 1
mode of creation. They teach the fact, but
not the method. Neither the hypothovi*
of immediate creation nor the hypothesis
creation by evolution can contradict the
Scriptures. Every word of ths lacred
Scriptures it absolutely true. To the Chris
tian believer it is immaterial what solentifio
views he may hold, provided inch views do
not contradict the Scriptures.”
Great interest centers npon ths reanlt of
this trial, especially among the young.
