HARD TO GET TIIE NEWS.
"We realize that it is going to
be difficult to get reliable news
from the South African war.
Kumors are caught, up and sent
on in place of authentic news.
Tne wires are being cut and
communications interf erred with.
There is a rumor that 15,000
JSopts were blown up by the
English mines near Maf eking
lout thr 3 is such an air of un
certainty that it is hardly worth
repeating. As the Raleigh
Post says no great amount of
fighting need be looked for until
Gen . Buller arrives. It has been
announced too that he will cut
the wires behind him so as to be
iree from order and left to his
own will and wfy.
The newspaper men, we learn,
are not allowed at the front and
must get their news as best they
can. "We -do not expect satis
factory news from this war.
One Joseph C Cunningham, a
"negro, citizen of Charlotte we
"believe but now resident in
Washington writes a scathing
tirade against Senator Pritchard
-especially, together with Presi
dent McKinley, Chairman Hol
ton and others, but it is clearly
visible that if they would keep
him m a fat office ho would be
all right. They who are in poli
tics as a pig with snout and feet
in the swill trough get none
of our sympathy when a bigger
hog lifts them to the corner of
the pen to squeal while tne
tempting -contents are being
mulched.
An Englishman who insulated
hisbedstead by placing under -aieath
each post a broken-off bot
tle, says he had not been free
from rhematism or gout for. fif
teen years, aiid that he began to
improve immediately after the
application of the insulators. A
paper, quoting this, wisely adds:
There's many a iollow who
could cure his gout if he would
. break off the bottoms of his glas
bottles in time." Anderson. In

DON'T GO TO CHURCH.
Tomorrow is the Sabbath.
The cn'urch bells will ring calling
you. to. worship ut don't go,
if you have no soul with which
to worship. Don't go if the God
whose institution the church is is
no greater ftnan "yourself or is a
fit subject ..idr , your criticism.
Don't go if man's existence is
but that of the beast. Don't go
if you know the bible to be un
reliable. Stay at home and read
fiction and fancy and facts the
more reliable from being filtered
through human sieves. Don't
go if things pertaining to time
are more important than those of
eternity. Don't go if you don't
like to hear or engage in singing
what the '.'weaker minds" call
the (sweet songs of Zion. Don't
go if you don't like to hear the
devout soul breathing its com
munions with its God. Gather
at public, places and join in the
coarse and mora satisfying hi
larity. Don't go and hear the
preacher, who has been trained
by a course of . study and has
been spending hours of prayer
ful meditation in his study to
benefit the people and glorifiy
God in bringing out of the great
storehouse of knowledge things
both new and old. Gather with
the groups and discuss the more
up-to-date topics. Don't go to
church and hear a preacher in
whom you can detect some flaw.
Stay away where you meet, see
and hear only the perfect. Your
father and mother go and you
see in their devotion the mani
festation . of some secret spring
of imperishable hope, a strange
fidelity to principle and truth,
you see in them a meek and hum
ble spirit. Don't go if you are
pitying their lack of your more
exhalted philosophy. J ust re
count the many, many instances
in which these , devoted church
goers have suddenly awaked to
the truth and have renounced all
this as of no use, and contemplate
how very few have .ever been
grieved over their neglect of
spiritual matters, especially when
they came to the brink of an
other sphere that is a "Leap ill
he dark." Don't go to church
it tnere never arises m your
bosom a painful realization that
you were created for some grand
ana no Die purpose m time or
eternity for which; you are not
developing Don't go to' church
if you find your ideal people out
side rather than in side' the church
and would rather abide forever
with these outside. Don't go to
church if there is , no i God that
you should adore, no Saviour to
whom you owe loving gratitude,
no Spirit that you, would hat
ever with you as a monitor to
warn you of error and danger,
aria you . with courage and
strength in ordeals and speak
comfort to you when depressed.
Donjt go. to church if you are
sur,e thai there is no heaven for
you to win and no hellfor -you to
shun., . f i

Southern Supremacy.
The State of North Carolina
alone manufactures more cotton
now than was manufactured in the
whole South in 1885. The utili
zation of motive power in oper
ating cotton mills, will still
further reduce the cost of pro
duction in the . South and will
stimulate mill building, thus
hastening the supremacy which
this section is destined to . have
in that industry, and the time
when" the South' will be , the
world's cotton manufacturing
centre, with the sceptre wrested
from both Old England and New
England. Morming Star.
