He Charmed Our People.
Rev. John E. Wuite, Ccrresponding
Secretary of the Baptist State Conven-

in the Baptist church Sunday, and
Greerville people, regardless of denom-

an eloquent speaker and his sermons t
such a character as to draw the closest
attention all through. His morning dis.
course was of a missionary nature"the
subject being oTh Open DoorT"and
he showed Christians the many oppoi-
tunities presented and the privilege they
have for working to spread the Gospel
of Christ. At the close of this sermon
he asked for a cullection for the cause cf
missions and something over $66 was
contributed.
The sermon at night was about the
love of Christ, showing that to bee
perfect Savior He left Heaven and came
to earth and touched every phase of
humanity. He felt our poverty, endured
our weakness, suffered our temptations,
participated in our surrows, oTouched
the Bier� for all that He might be the
S.vior of ail. It was a grand sermon.
At this service the Methodist church was
closed and that congregation worshipped
with their Baptist brethren.
Mr. White was well pleased with his
visit here and expressed himself as
delighted with Greenville and her peo-

Coloring Easter Eggs.
Easter eggs can be colored with ani-
line dye. It should be diluted to the
proper shade and the eggs boiled in it.
~Green, the color of hope and resurrec-
tion, i3 particularly appropriate, but a
variety is pleasing red, pink, blue, pale
yellow and purple. Eggs canbe builed 3
hard, and painted in water-colors wi~ hi a |
single spring flower, as a primrose, or « |
butterfly, also a symbol of the resurrec- |
tion. ~They should be arranged iv nests
ot moss. Germaa children believe that
the Haster eggs are laid by hares, so | SgRgO:

often placed on them, or near them.

HARRY SKINNERTSoGOMETEING
BETTER,�
een
- The Norfolk andeai 38
The Hon. Harry Sxinne ,
North Carolina, has what we fe-|
ri asa wonderful scheme for
theT establishment of. otrae. bi-|
metallism.� Mr. Skinner is @
Populist, and te scheme is worthy
of him. The ides is as old as the
hills, but Mr. Skinner is as happy
over it as a child with a aew toy.
He never heard of it before,
evidently. The theory has been
disproved mary a time befor
Mr. Skinner ever saw the light of
day:
Tae Great Scheme is that of
osowposite money.� We remem-
~por that one of our own readers
interrogated the Landmark about
it during the last campaign. Mr:
SkauverT s plan isto issue certifi-
cates valuea at 100 cents each,
and calling for redemption by
the government, the bearer being
guaravteed fifty cents in gold and
fifty cents in silver. This is a
yery attractive proposition, aud,
according to Mr. Skinner, it will
be cifficuls for eyen single-gold-
standurd men oto successtully
oppose� it. oIf the silv: r depre-
e:ates,� we are told, othe gold
Will surely appreciate, aud thus
the combined value of the two
meiais «qualizes the face value
of the bi-metallic certificates, and
keeps its face value at 100 cents.�
One hundred ¢
Suppose that you have a dollar
Copposed of -tifty centsT worth of
gold, the bullion value of the two
components being exactly equal.
Then suppose that silver declines
twenty per cent. in value as com-
pared with gold. Then the 650
" gents worth of silver is worth oaly
40) cents in yold, whereas the 60
centsT worth of gold is worth 62.5
cents in silver. T'bis makes the
great bi-meialic dollar worth
112 5 cents in silver avd 99 cents
in gold"100 cents in nothing.
The only theory oy which the
scheme could be mude to work
would be for gold to advance 20
per cent. ian potatoes, for instance,
whenever silver declines 20 per
cent. in the same vegetable, wich
is hardly reasonable, to say tie

How Uirls Should Consider Proposals.
en SRE
oMy dear girl, when a mau
asks you to become his wife you
ought to put some questions to
yourself,� writes Ruth Ashmore
to girls on ohe Profession of
Marriage,� in the April LadiesT
Home Journal. oSatisfy your-
self that you love this man well
enough, not. only to be havpy
with him, but, if need be, to suf-
fer with him. Decide tor your-
self if this be the man of all
others in whom you will find
your deal companicn, fur com~
panionship means as much 10
marriage as in'friendship. Then,
you must think of the. future,
Ask yourself, too, whether this
man brings out in you all that is
which is little and mean iv you,
or whether he piques you into
making light of that which is
good. Decide whether this man
is the one with whom vou
would be willing to grow old;
whether this man is the one to
whom you would, without hesi-
taucy, submit questions that
trouble your conscience. Then.
too, you must ask yourself what
seems, perhaps, like a trivial
question, whether this man is
one whose nate you wiil feel
honored in bearing, not because
of any material wealth he may
posses:, but because cf his being
an honest gentleman. ~Think out
all these things, ask yourself
question upon question, not only
us to his fitness, but as to yours,
and then, 1f you give him the
loying answer that he wishes, try
to become thoroughly aogusinted
with him.�

places in that city whero cigar-
e.tes were sold, ut siace the new

duced to 100. The new law is
very stringent, providing a heavy
i ceusy tax and heavy peuatties,
avd ove of the , rovisiuus forbids
the sale of cigarettes withiu 200
yards of a church. It is now dif
ficalt fora youl to buy a cigar.
