Vicar of Gor- lestori, ;near Yarmouth, England, says: "Clergymen overdo the religious side of Ufe,l thereby ruining the spiritual liver, like that of over-fed Straasburg geese. ; White contending that no man can have too much religion and that ncj man can bring too much re ligion into his daily life, we neverthe less express our opinion that the state ment of the Vicar who knows bo well the gastric conditions of "Straseburg geese' r jis not altogether false. Clergy men sometimes do "overdo" the re ligious jife. They do so when they look, dress, and live in such a way as to make the impression that they are men apart from the common run of humanity. Such an impression not only weakens the influence of the clergyman, but places the religion of which he is the exponent in a false light. Jesus Christ was the son of man. While Uod, he was a man. He lived among men and women. He threw down every barrier between Himself and human ity. His religion was as natural and uniform as the rippling of Kedron or the circling of the ravens. He was ap proachable. f .A clergyman 'overdoes ' his re ligion (when he "talks shop." To talk about uothing except religion, and to use a technical theological ver biage, and to confine thought within the circle of the church is to chill the listener especially if . he be youthful. Christ did not talk in the language of the .Pharisees and Sadduces, the ac credited custodians of Jewish theology. He used a plain, adaptable, everyday language, and it had plenty of religion in it. : . ' ' Let us not "do" or "overdo" our re ligion..! Let us live it, not above men and women or beneatn tnem, dui among them, and, as certainly as the sun which rises in the East will set in the West, will our religion prove the savor ?of life unto hie."

This is northern sentiment, and God, who rules wisely, ordered that the result should be as it is. i t "It is certainly a great curse to have fore the war and their condition now.

'. . -r T ri cians, l. mjaaory raura anu j. viuray Carreras, of Barcelona, published ac counts jof grave cases of scarlet fever which they had treated by subcutaneous injections of the essence of turpentine. In view of this example M. A. Tobejti, of the faculty of medicine of Uratz, pas since empioyeu ine same treatment with the scarlet lever pa tients in the hospital af M F. Kraus, professor of clinical medicine in the same faculty. As injections; of essence rf tnrrientine are very painful and always Iproduce abscesses, M. Tobeitz substituted internal usage of this substance, a daily dose of fifteen to twent drops taken one or two times a day being given, preferably inniilk. According to this physician in more than one hundred cases of scarlet fever this treatment, but little used Up to the present, has been particularly, emcaci- ous, especially in reierence to renai complications. Administered in time the essence of turpentine is even capa ble of j preventing the appearance oi scarletipous nephritis and renders al buminuria very rare. ; Essence oi tur nfintind for internal use was prescrib ed as early as 1868 for scarlet fever by That section of North Carolina -known as the "THE LAND OF THE SKY," AND THE "SAPPHIRE COUNTRY," I Dartioiiinrir fitfm'Mvfl to those in search . ;of mountain resorts where the aiT is ever cool and invigorating, and where accommo . dations can had either at the comfortable and well-kept boarding houses or the more -Mensive and up-to-aate noieis.

Charleston News and Courier. 1 A Viclcsburg' authority is quoted as showing in facts and . figures the in creased cost of producing cotton this year as compared with the cost report ed in the last census year. One work hand and his mule are taken as the hasis of comparison. In 1900 the two consumed, while the crop was cultivated and harvested, 200 pounds of meat, at 8 cents, $16; three barrels of meal, $6.15; one bar rel of flour, $3,10; 50 bushels of corn, $53.50; 25 bushels of oats, $7.50; one ton of hay, $12.50. Total, $69.35. These items comprise the actual living needs of the negro and mule. . The same things in the same quan tities this year cost as follows: 200 pounds of meat, at 11 cents, $22; 3 barrels of meal, $10.35; one barrel of flour, $4.10; 50 bushels of corn, at 73 cents, $37.50; 25 bushels of oats at 62 cents, $13.50; one ton of" hay, $19. Tntal. $105.45. The increased cost this year is $36. 10, or something over 50 per cent. This means that, while it required 867 nrmnrln nf 8-cent cotton in 1900 to set tle the supply account for a laborer and mule, 1,318 pounds, at the same price, will be required this year. Otherwise stated, it will take this year the cotton from four and three-fifths acres to set tle the supply account af a hand and his mule, as against cotton from two and three-quarter acres in 1900, assum ing that each acre., produced 300 pounds of lint. of the fathen shall be visited upon the children unto the third and fourth gen erations.' To my mind, the 'fore fathers' of Georgia sinned in purchas ing and owning slaves, and now their children's children suffer the conse quences. M j "I trust you will receive these words as they are meant,1 with the - greatest kindness and good will, and I wish you many more yean of happiness with your good wife, children: and grand children, and further hope that 'Bill Arp's Letter will continue to visit us for many years, to come.' i j That is a good letter. A good man wrote it. I could ; neighbor with him and his folks and never say a word to give them offense. But I would teach them something they do not know teach them gently, line upon line, pre cept upon precept here a little and there a little. Now, here is a gentle tleman of more than ordinary intelli gence and education who does not know that the sin of slavery began in New England among his forefathers not ours and from there was gradual ly crowded southward until itgo -o Georgia, and that Georgiajwaa the first State to prohibit! theirfimportation. See Appleton's Cyclopedia (Slavery and the 81ave Trade). ! He does not know that long after New England and New York had abolished slavery their mer chantmen continued totra4Vwith Afri ca and Bold their cargoes secretly along the coast and never did but one reach Georgia and that one, "The Wander er," was seized and confiscated and its officers arrested. "The I Wanderer" was built at Eastport.J Maine; was equipped as a slaver in New York and officered there and a crew employed. He does not know; that Judge Story, chief justice of the United States su preme court, when presiding in Boston ini 1834, charged the grandjury that although Massachusetts had freed her slaves, yet the slave trade with Africa was stul going on and Boston mer chants and Boston Christians - were steeped to their eyebrows in its infamy. He does not know that when tmr na tional existence began !j the feeling against slavery was stronger in the southern States than in the Northern. Georgia was the first to prohibit it, but later on the prohibition was repealed. New England carried on the traffic un til 1845 and is doing it yet if they can find a market, and can get the rum to pay for them. The last; record of a slaver caught in the act was in 1861 off the coast of Madagascar, and it was an Eastport vessel. The slave trade with Africa was for more than a century a favorite and popular venture with our English ancestora. ! King James H and Queen Elizabeth all had j stock in it, and although Wilberforce j and othera had laws passed to suppress it, the; could not do it. New England and old England secretly carried it on (See Ap pleton) long after slavery was abolished in the colonies. They could afford to lose half their vessels and still make money. i ! i No, no, my friend. If slavery was a sin at all, which I deny, it was not our sin, nor that of our fathers, nor were we cursed with so many illiterate, low lived negroes as you suppose. Our slaves were not educated in books as thpv wpt( in manners and morals and acten and virtuous lives of its women. There may have been spies and traitors among them, but, bless God, we have never beard of them after 40 yean of 8trale and trial. . To-day there is no higher 'strain known to civilization than the ante-bellum wife and mother of the old South for refinement, virtue and clean living." I Baas Jemea at Seetlaod Reek. Sam Jones recently lectured at Scot land Neck. His subject was "Charac ter and Characters." For an hour and a half he kept the audience in laugh ter and tears. The speaker was pretty severe on Scotland Neck in the matter of liauor selling. ! Referring to the well which has been sunk 600 feet in Main street, he said that while the peo ple there have to go 600 feet in the ground to find water and then miss it they have plenty of whiskey on the surface. He said that the man who thinks that selling whiskey helps town hasn't sense enough to vote. "You have eliminated the negro be cause be has no sense," said he, 'and now .vou'd better black uo some of thoseenows who think liquor helps the business of a town, kink up their hair and eliminate them." His picture of a beautiful, strong character and how to build it was mas terfully drawn. He made the founda tibn of character Affection. On' the foundation he laid stones in order Faith. Courage. Knowledge, Patience and kindness. And when he had fin ished the picture of a great and good character it was indeed beautiful, and no audience in Scotland Neck ever fol lowed the thought of any speaker with more pleasure or profit, perhaps, than did Sam Jones audience. , - Boy Tied Naked to a Tree. A New Orleans dispatch of a late date savs that George Trautb, a white bov 11 rears old. was found and tied naked to a tree. He was in a desper ate condition, having been assaulted tortured and cut and he was covered with ants and other ineects. When brought to his home and he had recov ered his senses, he declared that his as sailant was a negro. ! A party of white men searched the ! neighboring fields and a negro was found concealed there who was identified by the boy as his as sailant. The father of the1 boy knocked the negro, whose name was Clem Garrison, senseless with a club, and an attempt was made to arrest the man. He was finally taken to the police station and ultimately to the parish prison for pro tection, as the neighbors of the boy w;ere much excited over the outrage. Lsrrrcm. rsMtK t ft.

It includes an account of an amazing oath in the alleged Jewish style ' which the courts of Boumania are entitled to impose where one litigant is a Christian and the other a Jew. The Jew is compelled to put on his ritual grave clothes, his nails, are cut. and he is placed in a coffin, which is set before the altar in a synagogue, where the Rabbi has to invoke curses and maledicuons upon him and every member of his family unless he tells the truth and nothing but the truth. The man in the open coffin is bound to repeat these curses upon himself. If he fails to do so he loses the lawsuit against the Christian. he has neither: but he has a DUgte and he is blowing it around over the country. The President hss too much sense snd judgment to tackle the trusts with desdly weapons until after his second term begins, but a. preacher playing about, what he thinks pleases the President in his audience, presents a poor spectacle. Christ and Him cruci fied is a better theme than ltoo.evelt and him magnified. Again, I see that the Wisconsin body of Methodist preachen are after Presi dent Roosevelt about writing to the Pope, commending Bishop Ireland for office of cardinal; I do not know nor care much about this church and State business; but I am backing Roosevelt on that, just like a pointer dog backs the other dog that found the hrst bird, not that I favor a rule of the Catholic church in this country, but if we must have any kind of Catholicism, let us have it headed by the best Catholics. Bishop Ireland is a teetotler who tl an anti-saloon man, and I am for most anybody that is against whisky and against most anybody that's for it. I am sorry for the president though. I knew when President Roosevelt started on that speaking tour he was going to get into trouble, and he is going to have more trouble if the preachen don't let him alone. What a sight of trouble the Method ist church, could make for a candidate. The Methodist church could do him almost as much harm as the trusts, for they are about 4,000,000 strong in this country. But coming back to bed rock facts, there is only one open door to any preacher to enter the political arena, and st hat is the door for the fight against flagrant moral wrong. The preacher who is a prohibitionist and fights in politics for prohibition is fight ing the dirtiest and biggest regiment the devil has in the politics of Ameri ca today. The preacher who is fighting in politics for anything else except pro hibition and against anything except moral corruption is wallowing around with the crowd that the devil is going to get, and when the devil gets the crowd he will get the preacher, too, and won't get much when 'he gets him. Unless the preacher shall rebuke effectively the political corruption of this country, it won't be long until the gang will be out ; the rebch of the preacher and start wheeling toward the penitentiary of the State like the noo dle Aldermen of St. Louis. : The aver age politician and office-seeker of this country barks up the tree only where he thinks the majonty of the votes are, and his idea is to poll the majority for himself or his crowd without any regard to or scruples for the means us ed. A preacher, like John the Baptist, should be both a conscience and a voice crying not only in the wilderness, but in the great centers against au manner of corruption and corrupting influence, and he can afford to it, for the preach er is the only fellow that can, because on the one hand God has promised all things to him who is faithful, and the people stand ready to hear the honest preacher. ! ' I' I am sure as to myself; 1 nave suller- ed more abuse from party politicians and and from slanders from dirty pa- pen than all other sources combined, but I am still alive, and I thank God much for the enemies I have made and stimulate himself without leaving his seat. Persons who are in the habit of creeping into side doon when "the coast is clear" can save time snd sus pense by carrying a stock of alcoliolised ! tablets in their side piX'kf-U.
