(uod and 15 ad Luck. Amusing controversies sometimes arise over the question whether there is such a thing as luck. Those who deny the existence of chance can make out a strong case in favor of the belief that there is a cause for everything, that nothing really hap pens by chance. They overlook the fact, however, that so far as any one individual is concerned many things happen by chance, and it is these things beyond the control of the in dividual whom they affect which are called good luck or bad luck, accord ing to the way in which they affect him. Sometimes very remote influ ences of which we may know nothing affect our welfare. They pursue a perfectly natural and logical course, and therefore cannot be classed as chance happenings, and yet they de termine the "iuck," good or bad, of individuals. An eminent business man owes in larje measure his good fortune to an accident that happened in the Alps before he was born. A young man traveling for pleasure saved the life of a young woman who bad slipped upon the rocks. The chance ac quaintance thus originated develop ed into a love affair, and the vouple having married came to America. The wife's modest fortune founded a great business house, to which came a small errand boy, who, after years of faithful service, was taken into the firm. If there had been no acci dent, the other events would not have followed, at least it is not like ly they would have followed in the same order. The errand boy who rose to a big merchant would doubt less have flourished in some way, making a good name for himself and perhaps a fortune, but he would not have had as plain sailing if he had not fouud a business ready made and aD appreciative employer. This constituted his good luck, but luck was not the only factor in his pros perous career. He was not only lucky, but capable aud deserving, and herein lies the only useful lesson in discussions about good and bad luck. It is not enough to be lucky, as the saying goes; one must also be ca pable of taking advantage of a for tunate chance. The man who is ready the one who transforms chance opportunity into what may be called good luck. There are things beyond any man's control which affects bis career favorably or adversely, but within his control are other things with which he may compel circum stances. He can, tor example, edu cate and train himself for high posi tion, he can establish a reputation for zeal aud probity which will sug gest his name to the appointing pow er when such positions are to be fill ed. He can cultivate self-control so that he may neither be spoiled by good luck nor overcome by bad. In short, every man has control of some of the factors that, combined with others, make his life a success or failure. He is both lucky and de serving when opportunities fit in with character and abilities so as to help him to some degree of success. He is undeserving, not unlucky, n-Vifn thp. occasion finds him un prepared to make use of good for tune. The existence of such a thing as luck good or bad may be recog nized without impairing in the least our obligation to attend carefully to all factors that make for success in life and that are within our control. We should be ready at all times to take advantage of that "tide in the affairs of men which, taken at its flood, leads on to fortune." Fortune in this case, however, should not be taken as meaning mere wealth, but fortune of any kind knowledge, power, a good name, anything which tends to ennoble man by making him more serviceable to his fellow-men Haseball has been substituted for bull fighting in Cuba. On the theory, no doubt, that it is more human to kill umpires than bulls. A Good Conch Medicine. Many thousands have been restored to'heal'lh and happiness by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

Cases that seemed hope less, that the climate of famous health resorts failed to benefit, have been per manently cured by its use. For sale by M. E. Robinson & Rro., J. i.

This horrid, torrid weather re minds me of what Henry Ward Bee cher said in his church one swelter ing day in July. He took no text. He wiped the perspiration from his brow and looking solemnly at the large congregation, said: "It is hot to-day. It is damned hot. It is as hot as hell!" Everybody was amazed and shocked until he added, "That is the language I heard two young men use at the door of the church as I passed them. My young friends, it is not as hot as hell." Then in a low, earnest tone he pic tured the tormeuts of hell and the certain fate of the wicked until the atmosphere of the church seemed to be cool and pleasant in comparison. The ladies ceased to move their fans and everybody was still and solemn as a funeral. It was something like Jonathan Edwards at Northampton when he got his hearers so wrought up and alarmed that they groaned in fear and grasped the posts and bra ces to keep from sinking into hell, and another preacher in the pulpit begged Mr. Edwards to stop. "Stop, Mr. Edwards; stop now and tell them of the mercy and love of Clod." What wonderful power is in the words of an eloquent, earnest man. Mr. Beecher was all of that agifted. eloquent man. I heard him preach twice before the war and was pro foundly impressed. I looked upon him as the impersonation of the man of God. Later on, when he begau his vindictive war upon the south and said that Sharp's rifles were bet ter than Bibles for John Brown in Kansas and it was a crime to shoot at a slave-holder and miss him, I wonder at my infatuation with the man and exclaimed with Isaiah, "How are the mighty fallen." And still later when Tilton charged him with alienating and seducing his wife aud it took two months to try the case and the jury two days to make up a verdict, which virtually s.id, "He is not guilty, but he must not do so anymore." I was morti fied at my own weakness in becom ing his idolater and resolved to wor ship no man again while he lived. A great man's character cannot be made up until after he is dead. But I was ruminating how easy it is for a young man to say damn and damn it, I'll be damned and even to take the name of God in vain. Damn is a more conveuien. and expressive word than dogon or dingnation or blamed and it shows a defiance of the devil and a self-conceit in the man who uses it. But it is a very handy expletive and when a young man gets in the habit of using it be rarely reforms. He knows that it is not good manners, for he does not use it in the presence of ladies or preachers or his parents. Neverthe less there are some good people who think damn it without saying it. I heard a good story the other day on Colonel Livingston, our member of congress from the Atlanta district. Last summer he was sent over to West Virginia to speak and help the Democrats in their canvass. He ventured into a pretty hot Re publican town and was haranguing and electrifying a large audience, and while scarifying the Republicans and this lighting administration, a soft, half-done Irish potato took him kerzip right between the eyes. It knocked off his spectacles and flat tened into mush all over his classic countenance. It surprised and shocked him, of course. Recovering his glasses he wiped the sticky stuff from his face and said with excited tone, "My friends, I have been I have been a consistent a consistent member of the Presbyterian church the Presbyterian church, I say for more than more than fifty years yes, fifty odd years, and have tried to live tried to live in harmony with with all men with all men, but if the dirty, dogoud, dadblamed puppy who threw that potato will stand up or raise Lis riht hand I'll be I'll be dadblasted if I don't stop speak ing long enough to come down and lick the hair and hide off of him in two minutes bv the clock. As no body rose or raised a hand the colo nel resumed his broken remarks, but declares that he never came as near cursing since he joined the church. This thing of cursing is of very ancient origin. Sometimes it was done by proxy. Balak, the king of Moab, hired Balaam to curse Israel and some of us veterans remember when we, too, wanted to hire a cus sin man to expend our wrath upon the yankees. Peter cursed and swore when accused of being one of the desciples. It i probable that he said "I'll be damned if I am, or perhaps worse. Soldiers and sailors have in all ages been profane the very class that are in greatest peril and should have the greatest rever ence for their maker. Uncle Toby says, "Our army swore terribly in Flanders." And Uncle Toby him self swore an oath when he found the sick soldier lying and dying at his gate. "He shall not die, by God," be said, and the accusing spirit flew up to heaven with the oath and blushed as he gave it in. The recording angel as be wrote it down dropped a tear upon the word and blotted it out forever." That is beautiful, is'nt it? Verily, chanty hidetb a multitude of sins. But this is enough on this subject. It is too hot to work in the garden and so I get in the shade of the vines on my verandah and ruminate. Judge Griggs, our honored member of congress, tells that story on Colo nel Livingston, and he told another that will make the old men forget that it is hot, for they never get too old to enjoy any story that has a pretty woman in it. One of the last cases brought before the judge was a young unsophisticated coun try boy who was charged with an assault upon a bonnie country girl that he had caught her at the spring and hugged and kissed her against her will. Her mother saw it from her piazza and heard her scream and saw him run away to the field where he was plowing. She was very indignant, and prose cuted him.- She was the witness and so was the girl, but the girl dident seem very vindictive. She said he dident hurt her but took her by surprise. She had filled her bucket and was about to go back when he caught her and hugged her and kissed her right on her mouth. The solicitor closed his case. The young man was put up to make his statement, and all he said was that she looked so sweet and pretty he couldent help it, and he dident believe that Miss Molly was very 'mad about it nohow, for she went off singing of a hyme. "What hyme was she singing?" asked the judge. "I don't know," he said. "What hyme were you singing Miss Molly?" asked the judge. She smiled aud said it was "The Lord Will Provide." The judge charged the jury very mildly, and told them that an assault implied malice, etc., but as the jury couldent see where the malice came in, they came back with this verdict: "We the jury, find the defendant not guilty, as there was no malice or hate in it, and we recommend him to the mer cy of the court." This story reminds me of John Riley's verdict in the Pass case. Good old John Riley, the foreman of The Rome Courier's press room for years and years, and the foreman of the jury in the case of the State against Romlus Pass for hog steal ing. Pass had been suspected of ki'.ling Wallis Warren's shoats as they ran in the woods, and so Wallis laid for him, and one evening about dusk, when he heard a rifle shot, he slipped up and caught Pass in the very act of putting the shoat in a sack. Wallis dident go to the war and managed to save his 6tock. Pass went, and left his wife and three lit tle children to the mercy of God and the community. When he returned he found there was nothing left to live on, and one of the children had died. Judge Wright volunteered to defend him, and introduced no evi deuce, but had the last speech. I will never forget the tender pa thos of that speech his picture of a poor soldier returning home to find desolation and despair. He never al luded to the evidence, but had the jury and the court in tears. The judge charged them as fairly as he could, and they retired. In a brief time they came in with this verdict: "Whereas, the late, unhappy war re duced many of our brave soldiers and their families to want and poverty by reason of which they were forced at times to wander in tho woods for such game as they could find in order to keep the wolf from the door and their little ones from starvation; therefore, we, the jury, find the de fendant not guilty, John Riley, fore man." "By gracious!" said Wallis, "they found Pass guilty and then pardoned him." Judge Wright never lost a case where he had the last speech and a woman or a poor man was his client. But it is getting a little cooler now as the sun nears the horizon. I must stop and turn the water loose on my garden. The city has no water met ers yet, and I can steal water with impunity, but as the nigger preacher said to his flock, "You musent be colched stealin' chickens cotcbed, I say."

Intensely hot weather and the re currence of the national holiday, (which in some departments has been protracted by two and three days suspension of business on the Exchanges) have considerably cur tailed the volume of general trade during the past week. Labor dis putes and the heat have lessened the industrial output in some depart ments, and hot winds and lack of moisture in some parts of the coun try have caused concern for the corn and cotton crops. But while condi tions in some districts are critical, no serious damage has yet been done and more favorable weather may speedily avert threatened crop im pairment. The great winter wheat harvest is rapidly approaching com pletion, and the favorable spring wheat outlook practically assures a record-breaking yield of the two va rieties of this cereal. Aside from seasonable influences against active business the general situation is fa vorable, and with satisfactory agri cultural results the vacation period is pretty certain to be succeeded by a fall season of great activity in all branches of trade. Crop uncertainties and specula tive covering before the holiday caused an advance of 1 16 of a cent in cotton prices; but there has been very little activity in the trade. Crop advices are conflicting, and the fact that the Government estimate of a condition of 81.1 percent, was based upon data to June 23th in stead of July 1st, has left traders in considerable doubt as to the actual general average condition of the crop; but with the exception of that of last year it is known to be lower than in any recent year. The cotton goods trade has been quieter as a consequence of hot weather and the general holiday, but values have been well maintained. Supplies of desirable lines of cotton goods have been well cleaned up, and some makers have their production sold ahead for several months. This con dition of stocks and contracts en courages a higher holding of goods to be made, but the advanced asking rates restrict new business both for domestic uses and for export. The wool trade has been fair, but not ac tive. Corn prices have advanced 31 cents per bushel. Speculation for higher prices has been stimulated by ap prehension about the growing crop which has been caused by the dry, hot weather in Kansas, Southern Missouri and other parts of the Southwest. There is no reliable evidence that serious injury has yet been done, but as a considerable percentage of the crop is in a criti cal condition from lack of sufficient moisture the speculators have taken advantage of the situation to push up prices. The interior movement of corn is light, which fact indicates either small reserves or a reluctance on the part of farmers to part with their present holdings while the crop outlook shall remain so uncer tain. Foreign demand for corn is very fair. Values of hog products have tended downward as a result of fair ly liberal receipts and realizations by speculative holders. Domestic trade in provisions has been fairly active, but exports fell a little short of the shipments for the correspond ing week last year. Summertime in Billfille.

For the first time in the history of South Carolina criminal courts, a man has been prosecuted for kissing a pretty maid. The offender was C. C. Hop per, an official of the Clifton Manu facturing Company of Spartanburg, the victim Miss Maggie Cudd, age 16, buxom and pretty. Hopper is a married man and there was great in terest in the trial. There was no doubt of the kiss, Miss Cudd con vinced the jury. The indictment read "assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature." The jury did not think the kissing a penitentiary offence, and after hanging four hours found Hopper not guilty. ALL OV THE STATE. A Summary of -rent Events for the Past :! ren Bays.

Baby Born With Needle In Stomach. Newark, N. J., July 8. A needle was found by Rontgen rays on Sat urday evening in the stomach of Mary I jang, 13 months old, who has cried almost all the time since her birth and shown indications of pain in the stomach. She was taken to St. James Hospital in Newark from her home at 123 Adams street, and the hospital physicians sent her to Dr. Frank Devlin, who has a Roent gen ray apparatus. He discovered a dark line, and by careful manipula tion of the flesh brought a needle to the surface and extracted it with tweezers without makingan incision.
