“I did, and he said the marriage

It is stated by a friend of the
President that rooms for a number
of the Folsom family have been en

A Strange Sermon.
From the Youth Companion.
It was a colored woman, in the
green depths of a South Carolina
forest, who preached it.
A party of friends were driving
through the woods, where the ever¬
green pines gave them murmurous
shelter, and the sweet-breathed yel
bnv jasmine made the air fragrant.
It was a lovely yet monotonous drive
through miles on miles of pine-bar
and when the colored woman
drew nigh, it was by way of diver
sion that one of the party proposed
they should “interview the darkey.”
She had a rugged, noble face, such
a_one as Rembrandt would have cov
eted for a model, and she bore in
one arm a heavy sack, which evident¬
ly contained potatoes, and on the
other a covered basket, which seem
ed heavy also.
“Got whiskey in that basket,
maumer?” began the man who con
stitued himself the spokesman of the
party.
“Got whiskey? No, sail,” and the
woman looked into his face with her
steadfast dark eyes. “I don’ use no
sech stuff as (hit, not sence I foun’
God.”
She said those words solemnly,
and it seemed as if a sudden hush
fell upon the gay party—a silence
which the very forest shared. In
"* ,nctlveI .... y the man w, . ‘° , " ad . *T oken .
look his hat, as he asked, respect
fully. “When was that, manmer?”
“j ust twenty-five years ago, sail.
IV fifty 7 years ole now, and I lived
*
. ,al1 ni >' '' fl! "’“J 1 110 a " d ,
bress de Lord! 1 foun’ Him.
“How? Where?” The question
came from the speaker’s lips with a
sort of eagerness, as if he, too, would
fain go on the same sacred quest.
“Right in the wilderness, sab,
w bar there was nobody else, ’pears
like, but jest God and me. I felt pow>
erf til empty in my soul, and I knew
w hat I wanted, and I got right dow n
in the wilderness, and I prayed and
p.iayc-1, and prayed, and He hearn ,
me, and I foun’ Him.”
“And you’ve kept Him ever since?’
“lie’s kep’ me, salt. ’Bears like
God don’ let go easy. I can jes’ feel
His hand a-holditi’ me. My ole man
—he can read, but 1 can’t—he reads
to me wliar it says in the Good Book,
“Seek an’ ye shall fin’.” My ole man
he’s a preacher, and he says tharaint
no words in that book hut true
words.”
“Do you never have any doubting
times, maumer?” asked a lady of the
party. “Are you always sure of God?
“Sure, llOliey? Yep, I’se SUl'C
«» ou 8 h * 1 sct ‘ 8 X™ »ovr, md I’se

trees and the winds . t make , a noise;
and I feel Him all the time in my
heart.”
“Will you pray to Him forme?”
the lady asked. “For I want to find
Him too.”
The colored woman looked into
the white woman’s face; their eyes
met and held each othc for a space,
and at last the answer earner
“God is not to be mocked, my oh;
man says, hut I think you aint mock¬
in’ Him, honey. You jes’ want to fin’
Him, like I foun’ Him in the wilder¬
ness. Yes, I’ll pray for you, and I’ll
tell my ole man. and he’ll pray for
you too, but that aint enough, honey.
He knows my voice aint yours, an’

you’ll fin’ He’s got ears to hear; and

J
And then, with that woid “sure”
on her lips, she seemed to melt into
the forest.

A Terrible Crime
From the Neuman Advertiser.
For more than two years those
who have lived near the home of
one Joseph Smith, a painter by trade,
who came from Franklin to New
nan, have related awful stories of
the cruel and inhuman treatment to
his little girl, Mary, who had the
misfortune to lose her mother sever¬
al years ago. Her father married a
young woman in Heard, soon after
losing his first wife, and by whom
he has several children. On coming
into her new home the stepmother
began a system of persecution on
Mary, that would make one’s blood
run wild with indignation. In this
brutality she was joined by her hus¬
band. During the coldest weather
this little girl, thinly clad and bare¬
footed, has been made to stand over
the washtub all day, and then, in¬
stead of providing her with good and
substantial food, the same as she
did her own children, this cruel step¬
mother would drive her under the
house like a dog to suffer further
agony. This inhuman tieatment, as
we undeistand it has been going on
for more than two years, until it lias
greatly affected the child’s mind.—
We also learn that the people of
Franklin threatened to tar and feath¬
er both of them, when they fled that
county and came to New nan. A
true bill was found against Smith by
the grand jury in Heard county m
188-1, but for some reason the trial
has been put off. It is now set lor
a hearing on the third Monday in
this month, 'i he neighbors of Smith
were again aroused last Thursday or
Friday night by the pitiful cries of
this unfortunate girl during a heat¬
ing given her by her unnatural pa
rents. The matter was reported to
the officers of law and search made
for the child, but without success.-—
When the officers asked Mrs. Smith
where Mary was, she replied she
did not know, and what was more,
she did not care. Some think she
j las h^-en rose tired by somekiudly dis¬
posed persons, while others are of
the opinion that she has been made
way with by her parents.
Such a case is a reflection upon
this community, and it behooves the
citizens to act promptly and deei
sivcly in the matter. It demands
stringent applications for such an
offense, and the editor of the Acjvor
tiser will ho pleased to see, if the
facts above stated are true—and they
nro vouched for by some of the best
citizens—Joe Smith and his wife ta¬
ken out out on the public square and
given 100 lashes each.

Salt for Cabbages.
An intelligent producer of cab¬
bages near this city, states that lie
considers salt necessary to the best
development of the cabbage, especi¬
ally in places far from the coast.r
He finds them more crisp, of better
flavor and to keep better, when salt
is used than without. A few days
after setting out the plants, and
when they are damp, cighor after a
rain or when the dew is on, betakes
a small dish of fine salt, and walks
along the rows, spriugting a little
pinch of salt on the centre luavts of
each plant; when the leaves begin
to form the head, applies salt again,
scattering it over the leaves; after
ibis, he looks them over occasionly,
and if hc finds any plants t hat do
not head well, or appear diseased,
sprinkles salt over freely. This will
save all such nlants. A quart of salt
is sufficient fo.i five hundred plants
iu a season, though more can he used
with safety. Be careful not to use
too much salt as it would injure the
cabbages.

Bob Burdette says that three
weeks ago an Indiana man taught
his dog, a very finely bred well-be
haved setter, to chew tobacco. Now
the dog comes into the house by
hack door, never scrapes his feet on
the mat, never goes to church is
carek-ss at liis meals, gets burs in his
tail, goes with a lower grade of dogs
and is feared that he is beginning to
takv an interest in polities.

PREACHERS IN POLITICS.
LIABLE TO “KINDER GIN OUT,” I.IKK
REV. MR. PITNER’CAI.I’.
From the Minneapolis Journal.
“The Church and Politics” was
the subject of a paper read by Rev.
II. L. Chamberlain before the city
pastors’ meeting this morning. If
men with no firm moral principle,
said the speaker, are often found in
office whose fautt is it if not the peo¬
ple’s? Christian ministers help con¬
stitute the citizen voters of this coun¬
try. It is in the primaaies that the
material out of which governments
are made originates. The minister
and the best element in his church
usually stay away from \be pnma
tiei. It should he a moral duty with
them to go and to make their pres¬
ence felt.
Ilev. Lyman Palmer—When the
ministers go into politics they al¬
ways get scooped. The other fellows
are better politicians.
Rev. S. V. S. Fisher—It is the
men we preach to that stay at home
on election day; the men we don’t
preach to are always on hand. He
ought to preach to those who do
come to church until they recognize
their duties.
Rev. J. L. Pinter—An old New
England farmer bought a calf at a
sale which occurred in a town some
distance from his home. The next I
morning he sent , his . , hoy, provided ., ,
° * 1
with . , and other tae
a rope necessary
kle, ,, to lead , , the , cait home. 1 nose of ..
you who have been farmers’ boys
know that the leading of a calf is no
easy job. At night the hoy returned
home covered with dust, tattered
and foot-sore. He dragged the rope
behind him.
“Dad,” he .laid, “the calf’s dead.”
“What’s that? Did she die of dis¬
ease?”
“Naw.”
“Did she meet with an accident?”
‘Naw.”
“Did somebody kill her?”
“Naw.”
“Waal, if she didn’t die of disease
nor accident, nor violence, how in
thunder did the pt-sky critter die?”
“Waal, dad, I expect she Kii der
gin out.”
“That’s the way with the minister
in polities. He is very likely to kind
or gin out.”
It was decided that after next
Monday’s meeting the association
adjourn over the summer months, to
meet again probably the first Mon¬
day in October.
A communication was received
front Rev. Sam Jones stating that
the number of l.is engagements
to.Minneapolis would probably this prevent his coming
year.

A physician, referring to the cus¬
tom of traveling on sleeping cars
with the berths made up with their
heads t • ward the engine, said: “It
is certainly bad for the brain of the
sleeper as it is not natural, and it is
no wonder that so many travelers,
especially those who have been on
the road extensively, experienve bad
effects from it. Take infants in baby
carriages and no sane woman will
think of trundling the vehicle along
so the child goes head first. They al¬
ways—except the young end inex
pcrienced mother—push them along
feet first. Physicians invariably ad¬
vise such locomotion. It is the same
thing on the cars, and no one should
hesitate about having his berth made
up so as to ineve along feet first. It
is much better for the brain.”
---
Some little excitement has been
caused in Columbia county, not far
from Augusta, among the negroes,
by a report that a prominent farmer
is making arrangements to engage a
number of Chinese on his plantation'
and do away with negro labor ejitirc*
ly. The negroes have worked tl-.eir
j imaginations up into believing that
Chinese will supplant them in the
South on the farms, and no little ex
eitement exists among them. They
fear the coming of the Chinese, and
believe eventually they will have to
give up their homes and move out.
Inquiries fall to verify correct the
1 reported Chinese movement.
Unnecessarily Worried,
From the Savannah Morning News.
We have noticed that two or three
of the newspapers in this State tire
worried because the Morning News
does not take sides in the Gordon
Hacon contost. They want to know
why it doesn’t come out for Gene’ral
Gordon or Major Bacon. They can’t
get rid of the idea that every news¬
paper in the State ought to wear a
collar with the inscription something
like this: “I am General Gordon’s
dog; whose dog are you?” or with
this: “I am Major Bacon’s dog;
whose dog are you?”
We have no fault to find with
newspapers lor supporting General
Gordon or Major Bacon if they want
to. We are pcrfcctfully willing for
them to tako whatever course they
please with regard to these distin¬
guished gentlemen, and they ought
to be willing to accord to us the
same privilege.
When the Morning News fails to
support the nominee of the party
whose piineiplos it advocates or fails
to take a position on an impor*
taut question in which the people
are deeply interested, it will he per¬
tinent and proper to demand its rea¬
sons for its opposition or silence;
but neither General Gordon nor Maj.
Bacon is a candidate of the party,
and as far as we are able to see there
is no overwhelming reasons why one
oi e them should . , , , be nominated . , , for
Governor ,, in . preference . to „ the other, .,
or why , either . , ot r them . should , . ,, be nom¬
inated. indeed, we think we have
already given very good reasons
why neither of them should be nom¬
inated.
General Gordon and Major Bacon
have presented themselves as candi¬
dates for the nomination of Gover¬
nor, as they have a perfect right to
do, and have assailed each other’s
records as public men with much
bitterness. They have touched very
lightly upon questions which are
closely connected with the welfare
of the State, and nobody is much
wises now than when they began
their campaign respecting their po¬
sitions on these questions I)o the
newspapers which want the Morning
News to take sides in the contest,
which these gentlemen have inaug¬
urated, think that it ought to help
make the people believe that one or
other of them has no character for
integrity or morality, and is so utter¬
ly unlit for any place of public trust
that the State would be hishonored
bv his elevation to the Governor¬
ship? That is certainly what they
appear to think, and yet if the can¬
didate they oppose happens to ho
selected as the party’s nominee, they
will have to admit that they sland¬
ered him or refused him their sup¬
port.
Because Gen. Gordon and Major
Bacon have put themselves upjas can¬
didates for the nomination to agreat
office, and are devoting their time to
belittleing each other, there is no
reason why the Morning News should
set to work to blacken the character
of either one of them, While it
would like to have them discuss in a
manly, straight-forward fashion cer¬
tain important questions whish are
closely indentified with the welfare
of the State, it does not feel called
upon to take sides in a contest which
is purely personal, and for which,
before the joint debate closed, some
of the partisans of each had so far
lost respect that they acted just
about as they would at a dog flight.
What the people want is a Gov
ernor who will command their re
spcct, and who will hold their inter
csts above every other. The thrust?
ing of two candidates to the "front
by two pretty clearly defined cliques,
or factions, and, that too, with a
sort of an assumption that the nom
inee must be one o r these two can
didateg is having the effect of mak
ing the people wonder whether all
this fuss and noise is due to pure pai
i triotisin and a desire to put a good
1 man ip the office of Qoverner, or
whether there isn’t something in the
background which the hurrahs of
the henchmen and the footings of
the orgaus are njeant to conceal.
