One thing fis quite essential to be

that no man who professes to be con

question the claim ot his conjpetitor

State Chronicle we regard as one of
our very be.st secular weeklies. T he
editor has a conscience and writes
under wholesome personal convic

earnesii\' for honesty and good morals
jn every department. The Chronicls
deserves the commendation of all good
people. Its influence is decidedly in
behalf of the good and against the
evil. And besides this, the Chroni
cle is an aide paper, and the style of
its editorials is good and elevating.
We are glad to see it prospering.

The Gu.vnd Excursion.—We do tbe
public a service by keeping prominent-
]v in view the grand excursion which
will run from this place to Washington
city cn the 5t,h day of October, The
arrangements male are as favorable as
could possibly be, and full instructions
are being furnished. We can say
frankly that the excursion is one that
must be regarded as first -class every
•wav. One of the hand bills says :
Everybody should go and see the
National Capitol, Wliiie House, Treas
ury Department,Patent Office.War and
Navy Deparlments, Navy Yard, Smith
sonian Institute, Corcoran Art Gallery,
Postoffice Department, Navy Monu
ment, Botanical Gardens, Lincoln
Park, Washington Monument, (the
highest in the world.) Lincoln Monu
ment, Jackson’s Statue, Agricultural
Department, and many other places ol
interest to be seen in the beautifuf
city.
Tbe committee have also made ar-
rangeraeuts for reduced fare on other
railroads connecting here,and from Ben-
nettsville, S. C., the fare to- this place
and return is only $1.80; in other
words, the price of excursion tickets
for the round trip from Bennettsville
to Washington will he only $6^80,
■while ^from Fayetteville it is $6.56,
Jonesboro, $6.00, Ore Hill, $5./5,
Liberty, $5.50. Merchants going to
Baltimore on business can reach that
city for supper next evening, and then
reach Washington in time to join the
excursion for home. This will give
nearly, if not quite, 2-1 hours in Balti
more. •
tions, w fr
cation, that certain fearful visitations
would come upon certain .sections of
the country within a short period.
To all who are troubled about such
things we have a word to say : First,
that the Bible teaching is, that when
^here “shall be earthquakes in divers
places,” with “wars and rumors of
w'ars, famine .-ind pestilence,” the
END IS ■MOT YET : Secoiid, that the
death of any individual ’is just as
serious to himself as if the world
were to come to an end. Afen know
they have to die, and at an hour un
known, yet certainly not far in the
future, and yet they forget this in
evitable event and trouble themselves
about the prophecies of ignorant men
who have not the slightest claim to
inspiration.
The Unfort UN A'fE.—The Twin
City Daily has the follovping sad note
in the issue of Saturday last:
The woman who was reported in
this paper yesterday as liaving left S.
B. Kisers’Thursday rooming and had
not been found up to yesterday evening,
was a Mary C. Kreeger, and is still
unfound. She left the house of S. B.
Kiser about 5 o’clock in the morning,
wearing a gray calico dress, u black
Jersy and had on no bonnet or -bat.
Any information concerning her where
abouts will be gladly receive'! by either
Timothy Kreeger or S. B. Kiser.
“Just listen to thi.s, Martha,” ex
claimed Mr. Jarply, who was reading
his evening paper. “One of the dogs
in the London prize show is valued at
$50,000. Good gracious ! that’s more
money than I ever expect to be worth
in my life.” “Some dogs are worth
more than others, Jeremiah,” quietly
remarked Mrs Jarply. Mr. Jarply
eyed her for moment and said she
need not sit up for him that evening.

old Senator CameroD. “Butler,
Butler,” tbe U nator repeated, “are
you reiat‘d to Senator Butler, of
South Carolina?” “A nephew, sir.”
Nephew of Senator Butler! M'^ell,
can I do anything for you,my boy?’
‘ The House,” said the young man,
“has just cast an advice vote on a
bill to remove some political disa
bilities under which I am at pres
ent laboring. You could not do any
thing better than make the House
reverse its vote.” Mr. Butler had
no idea that such a thing could bs
done, but in less than five minutes
the House had reversed its vote,
and by the exertion of Simon Cam
eron, of Pennsylvania, tbe political
disabiiities of the present Senator
from South Carolina were remov
ed.
A Boston newspaper tells of an
old lady whose wedding present to
a happy pair w'as a pair of flatirons
and the motto ‘'Fight on” neatly
worked in colored worsteds on per

There lire 60,000 more women than
men in Massachusetts, This is one
reason whv a man can never hold a
seat in a Boston street car more than
one coneecotive minute.
