TURIN.
During this period of Btress creditors
holding mortgages or executions should
not force property to sale, if this
course can by any means be avoided.
Property of every kind is scarcely mar
ketable now, and if put up at forced
sale will not bring one-half its real
value. This is a serious matter with
many people— particularly farmers, but
few of whom can realize enough from
the sale of cotton to pay their debts.
Let us be patient and forbearing one
toward another, and all will be better
off when the present crisis has passed.
We are of the opinion also that the
time for paying State and county
taxes should be extended. Many of the
farmers have not yet disposed of their
cotton, and have no money with which
to pay taxes or other obligations, while
to sell their holdings at present prices
simply means ruin. The State and
county cannot be in sorer financial
straits than are the people themselves.
The truth is, there are altogether too
many subjects for taxation anyway.
Considering the execrable condition of
the public roads in some sections of the
county a great many people deem the
imposition of a road tax as a hardship
from which they Hhould be relieved—
especially in such times us we are now
passing through. Roads are sadly in
need of work in many places, not to
speak of the unsafe condition of bridges
at various crossings.

When to Yield is to Win.
Philadelphia LHjrrr.
In love, as in battle, a retreat often
in the long run spells a victory.
A girl who is gifted with that esti
mable virtue that we call tact will often
obtain her own way by apparently
yielding in the prettiest manner possi
ble.
She seems to lay down her arms at
the first demand to surrender that is
made her. Yet really she is but re
treating in order to advance the more
surely later on.
Over unimportant points it is prudent
to give way, then when it is a question
of a really Berious matter one can
come to the attack with renewed vigor;
no strength has been lost in petty
squabbling or disputing.
Those who give way graciously in
tirfles usually command attention in
great things.
The love that is gained by this sweet
submission serves to win approval for
us when we wish to make requests of
a more serious nature.
Save your ammunition, therefore,
for the big things of life, and waste no
time or strength upon trying to get
your own way in small things and
thereby irritating others unnecessarily
and prejudicing them against you.
Mrs. McClain's Experience With
Croup.
"When my boy, Ray, was small he
was subject to croup, and I was al
ways alarmed at such times. Chamber

than any other for this trouble. It al
ways relieved him quickly. I am never
without it in the house, for I know it is
n positive cure for croup," writes Mrs.

Prompt Action Will Stop Your Cough
When you first catch a cold (often
indicated by a sneeze or cough,) break
it up at once. The idea that "itdoesn’t
matter" often leads to serious compli
cations. The remedy which immediate
ly and easily penetrates the lining of
the throat is the kind demanded. Dr.
King’s New Discovery soothes the ir
ritation, loosens the phlegm. You feel
better at once. "It seems to reach the
very spot of my cough” is one of many
honest testimonials. 60c at your drug

"Before I agree to undertake your
defense,” said the eminent criminal
lawyer, "you will have to tell me the
whole truth. Did you embezzle the
hundred thousand dollars you are ac

“Yes, sir,” replied the accused man.
"I’ll not attempt to conceal the fact
from you I stole every cent of it.”
"How much of it have you still?”
"It’s all gone but about a couple of
dollars ”
“Young man,” said the eminent law

putting oil his gloves, "you’d better
plead guilty and ihrow yourself on the

Oh, tender tale of old,
Live in thy dear renownl
God's smile was in the dark—behold
That way his host came down.
Light up, great God, thy word,
Make the blest meaning strong,
As if our ears, indeed, had heard
The glory of their song.
It was so far away,
But thou couldst make it near.
And all its living might display
And cry to it, “Be here I”
Here, in the unresting town,
As once remote to them
Who heard it when the heavens
came down
On pastoral Bethlehem.
It was so long ago,
But God can make it now
And, as with that sweet overthrow,
Our empty heaits endow.
Take, Lord, those words outworn;
Oh, make them new for aye;
Speak—“Unto you a child is born,”
T oday, today, today.

"We have received our tirst Christ

day, "In the shape of two little square,
cube shaped paper packages of tea
with Chinese characters painted all
over them. They came from our Chi

“When we go for the washing uud

reaches for the bundle.
" ’Ninety cent,’ he says, and ns we
are reaching for the coin he reaches
under the counter and produces from
there those two little square packages,
which he lays down beside our bun

why he put them there, and us we put
down the coin we take up oue of the
packets and say;

luundrymun. smiling:
“ 'Klstnus.
"And us we smile in return and pick
up the odd little packets we think the
Chinaman Is really more or less adapt
able to the customs of the country.”

The Star of Bethlehem.
This old sobbing world of ours Is one
year older than It was when the last
Christmas carol was chanted. It has
had another twelvemonth of experi
ments aud of experience, of advance
ment on many lines of human research
and acquisition. But It tins not out
grown Jesus Christ. For him It has
discovered no substitute. The star of
Bethlehem is the only star that never
sets. Jesus Christ alone can satisfy
nil human necessities and the loftiest
of human inspirations. Christianity is
the only universal religion, the only
one adupted to all ages of life, to nil
human conditions, to all races and all
nationalities. Other lights have arisen,
waned and vanished forever. The
Greek mythology is ns utterly shaken
to min as Us own splendid Parthenon.
The chief religious of Asia—Brahman-
leal, Buddhist aud Moslem—all are lim
ited uud local; they are all moribund.
While they make uo inroads on Chris
tianity, the religion of Retblehem and
Calvary makes eonstaut inroads upon
them. The systems of error which
Paul and Peter fought, have vnnished
out of sight, and the whole east ts
catching gl'mpses of the star that tirst
dawned over Judea’s sky. In spiritual
dynamics blood tells, and God ling
trusted his gospel of salvation to the
most powerful races on the globe.—
Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler, D. D.

SAVED BY A TAIL.
An Incident of the Perilous Times In
Paris In 1848.
On Feb. 24, 1848, when Paris
was disturbed by tbe revolutionary
mob, a Captain Prebois was seut by
the government with orders to be de
livered to the leaders ol the troops
that were defending tbe threatened
points In various parts of the city. It
was a dangerous undertaking, for the
bitterness of tbe people against the
government was Intense.
Before starting out Captain Prebois
was warned to take the greatest care
If be valued Ills life, but be took tbe
warnings lightly and said: "If you fel
lows knew my black horse ns well as
l know him you wouldn’t worry about
me. That horse has carried me through
thick ami thin."
The black horse of which the gallant
captain was so proud was Indeed a
beautiful animal. Blit there was some
thing very extraordinary about his tail.
It was long and bushy, but It never
moved or twitched, except with the
movement of tin* animal's body.
, When Prebois arrived In tbe disturb
ed section of the city he fearlessly de
livered his' message. He met with no
resistance from the crowds In the
streets until he reached the Place Ven-
dome. Here a great crowd of revolu
tionists had gathered. One seized the
bridle and cried In a fierce voice:
“Hold: What message are you carry
ing?"
The captain refused to answer. "Put
a bullet through him and get that mes
sage!" bawled out the man iu a com
manding voice. He was evidently a
leader of the mob.
At this point the captain determined
that quick action alone would save him
from violence at the hands of the
crowd. Quick as a Hash he wheeled
his horse and dashed off. Several bul
lets flow after him, but they went wild
and then suddenly erased altogether.
I He looked round and saw the mob
! crowding round one of their number,
| who held si •■meriting in his hand. And
! then Ills eyes fell on tbe back of his
; horse and Ids heart sank in dismay.
It seems that as he whirled his horse
about several men seized hold of the
| animal. But the powerful creature
n all except one. a lad of
who seized the horse's tall,
was the object of interest
used the shooting to stop,

Brutal Black George.
No rougher customer ever occupied n
throne than Serviu’s first ruler, Black
George. Except when under the In
fluence of wine or the smell of gun
powder. be was habitually moody and
dangerous to cross. When his aged
father thwarted his wishes he drew a
pistol and shot him through the head.
When his mother tried to cheat him
over a beehive he bonneted her wltb
it and stalked off, regardless of her
shrieks of pain. Black George was ad
mirable as an administrator, scrupu
lously just In nil his dealings—outside
of the family circle—aud as brave and
disinterested u patriot as ever lived.
After brilliant victories be would re
turn to his squalid borne, empty hand
ed, and resume the uneventful life of a
pig breeder.
