It Now Tokos Caro of Ono Hundred and Forty Children. Miss Mattie Perry, of Marion, N. C., who has been spending some days in Columbia, on her return from a visit to relatives in South Georgia in itiated and brought into being one of the greatest works of charity in the Southern States, through prayer and faith, somewhat similar to the work of Muclber, ai Bristol, England. The following account of Miss Perry and her work we clip from the Columbia Record: Miss Perry was born in the moun tain section of this state and praye d her way through college and Bible school. She has had, she says, many wonderful answers to prayer and is shortly to print a book that will give in detail all of the facts and incidents of her career. Miss Perry has now in operation a home that cost over $70,000, and is taking care of about 140 orphans. Her receipts toward their support in 1906 were upwards of $12,000. Tho home has no endowment and depends upon gifts in answer to prayer. Those have come in a remarkable manner from forty states and from Canada. Mexico, Spain, India and some dozen " other countries. Miss Perry had at one time as many as thirty missionary workers in foreign fields, whom she support ed by prayer and faith. She has now about twelve, whom she is support ing in this manner. It may interest many people to know that when the home at Marion, N. C., was first started, it was not intended for an orphan home, but was a sort of institute for literary and Bible training for young men and women who had enjoyed no school opportunities. A similar school is now operated on the top of Paris Mountain, seven miles from Green ville. The school was run ort the prayer and faith theory for about two years, and then Miss Perry received, as she says, a clear and distinct calling to do the work which she has now un dertaken. That was about six years igo. At the time she started the work she had just money enough to get a railroad ticket, but. she says, she prayed for help and her prayer was heard and answered to such an extent that the institution is now taking care of 140 orphan children. She had to turn away 150 last year for lack of room. Improvements are now being made in the building, and Miss Perry expects soon to he able to accommodate about 450 children. Orphans from eleven states are now being cared for, and every child at least has a chance for a collegiate education, business course and a trade. The institution is called "The Ki lianen Institute." it was opened eight years ago on the principle that God hears and answers prayers. The first mottoes put on thc walls were, "Is Anything Too Hard for the Lord?" and "AU Things Are Possible to Him That Believeth." It may be of interest to some peo ple to know of some of the marvel ous answers to prayer described by Miss Perry. Once the home gave a not for $1,000, due one day after date, and a South Georgia woman sent a check for $1,000 just in time to meet the note. Many times, Miss Perry said, the pantry and the purse have been empty, but she looked to God for the daily Viread, and thc need was met hy contributions made vol untarily and without solicitation. Once, when the bread was cutout, and the orphans were waiting for breakfast, a wholesale grocer receiv ed a telegram from Memphis, order ing two barrels of flour the pantry and thc purse have seen many ans wers to pray and at a time when help was most needed, aft IM- a sore test of faith. The truth that "God is faithful," and "Like a father piti eth His children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him," has been learn ed by Miss Perry and ber people. The children at tho Kilianen Insti tute come from the most destitute walks of life-the door step baby, those found in the woods or on thc streets-those from homes of pover ty and the most, despairing of sin. They are gathered in and sheltered from temptation and fed and cloth ed, educated and trained for lives of usefulness A department is maintained for young men and women who are anx ious for an education and who have no money hut. are willing to work td pay expenses while in school. From this department several students havegone to foreign bolds as mis sionaries, some are pastors, some teacher, some evangelists and some Christian citizens. Miss Perry says: "Our hearts have been almost broken many times dur ing the past, year as wo have bad to say, 'No' to thc worthy and helpless on account of lack of room and cure takers, bul we praise tho Lord that He is enabling us to enlarge our ca pacity, and that hy September wo will have room for about MOO chil dren." It. has fallen to thc lot nf thc writer to travel up and down this broad commonwealth to a consider able extent, both in search of busi ness and pleasure, and without an attempt I > flat tor the good people of this seel ?on it, can be .truthfully said that wc hive noverse?n a lot of people thal equals those ol our county. Tino Norfolk Landmark says "Representative! Northern newspa pers are calling on thc South to take the lead and give tho North a chance to votefor a real Democrat." Nonsense?. What, they call a real ' Democrat, is so much like a Republi can that, you can't tell them apart, ! We would rather have Roosevelt in j the White House than a Democrat ' of that stamp, j A safe and sane Democrat is too t much like a Republican to sui! tho \ rank arid file of the Democraticly party for a candidate. So Mr. Har- li mon will have to bo excused. GARDEN INSECTS An Interesting Paper In Giemson CuSi?ge Extension Work. - Od a I h ?I Directions Given How the De Knslly Destroyed.

An Amorlcau Who Offered to Thrash A Grand Duke. ^ The American colony at Monte Carlo is chuckling over the adven ture of one of their number, an American millionaire, with Grand Duke Michael of Russia, in which bis imperial highness came out sec ond best. For some unaccountable reason your correspondent could not obtain thc name of the American perhaps, being booked for an carly steamer, lie wants to tell the story himself on his return. It appears that the man from the United States was joggling along in his auto en route for the golf club, and not suffering from speed mania went rather slowly. Behind him, on the narrow road, was a machine that kept up a perpetual tooting and snar ling, asking, nay demanding, thc rignt of way in double quick order. However, our American, being leis urely inclined, refused to take no tice. When finally he pulled up at tlie club, the other machine pranced alongside and a tall, military-looking gent confronted the American. "Sir," he cried, "you evidently don't know who I am. Please remem ber for the future that I am Grand Duke Michael of Russia." "Glad to meetyou Mike" replied the American, "but, on your own part, remember that we are not in Russia, likewise that I don't care a rap for imperial highnesses." At first "Mike" seemed petrified with amazement, then pulled himself together and shouted menacingly. "How dare you, poltroon,-" "Shut your face," answered the American, taking both hands out of his pockets, "another word from you and 1 will wipe your imperial .shout on the grass before all these people." The grand duke did as he was told, jumped in his automobile and drove away. He hasn't shown upai the Casino since. A Foolish Notion, There are stranger things in Ger many than Emperor William. There is, for instance, a great editor in Berlin who is a positive refreshing novelty-as much so as the fat wo man in the side show or the 500 pound pumpkin. He hopes Japan will not hopelessly cripple the new navy of the United States, principal ly because he wants our navy spared to prevent England demanding the destruction of the ships of Germany. It is easily understood that we stand between England and the destruc tion of the German fleet, but hope less and complete ruination of our ships by Japan is something that we have not contemplated at length. The Berlin editor has our assur ance that we shall not permit our entire navy to be destroyed by Ja- I pan. We. shall be able to run a few small warships up shallow rivers and hide them where the little brown man cannot get at them. And if then they are of use in warding off the dogs of war England stands ready to Iel loose on Germany- well, we might keep them at home, after all. It is genuinely funny lo hear those people talk over in Europe. They have just as much idea of the re sources and capabilities of this coun try at' the average Japanese has; and that in spite of the many object les sons we have supplied. What they need is a course of travel, combined with ordinary horse sense and a few newspapers that are willing to see things this side of the water just as they are. After Big Game. The recent indictments returned against Alfred and David Morris, Albert Baldwin. Sr, and Frank T. Howard, at Mobile, Ala., for con spiring to violate the Anti-Lottery law, have recalled the days when the lottery business was tit the heigh th of its career in the South. These four men, bankers and capi talists, wdio are all rated as million aires, are charged with bei Jig the owners of the Honduras lottery, whose earnings in the United States are said to have aggregated $500,000 lier month. Alfred Hennen Morris and David Hennen Morris, the latter of whom married one of the Vanderbilt*, are sons of the late John A Morris, whose father was thc Louisiana lot tery king, lt was through the late Charles T. Howard, father of Frank T. Howard, one of the men indicted, that the elder Morris and his asso ciates, among them A. Baldwin, Sr., secured from a reconstruction legis lature, the charter of the Louisiana Lottery company for a period of 25 years. The elder Howard managed the campaign before the legislature, and later was the President of the com pany, holding that ellice until his death, when he was succeeded by Paid Conrad, who remained Presi dent until the death by limi tation, of the company. In its balcon days the Louisiana Lottery company's possible receipts were $5,000,000 a month, aggregate prizes about (il) per cent, thereof, but unsold tickets were always put in the wheel and often drew the priz es, the largest of which in the palmiest days was $300,000. Sliun Tainted Money. William Jennings Bryan has praises for churches and colleges that refuse to take morey that has been made by dishonest means. He spoke recently in the New National theater, Washington, D. C., under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. He took for his subject the "Prince of Peace," "One of our rich men," he said, "has reached a point where he some times finds difficulty to find people to take his money. And that. I re gard as the best evidence of the growth of a moral sentiment in this country, ll means something when a great church pauses, hesitates, re fuses to accept the money until it knows how it is made. "I believe the time will come when churches and colleges will refuse to go into partnership in tho spending of money immorally made. The in fluence of that public opinion will he a powerful factor in the restoring of righteousness. These institu tions should Say to a man; 'You do not make your money honestly; WO will not share the odium with you.'

TERROR REiGNS. i District of Sinaloa a ? Durango Overrun by Thieves. MEXICAN BRIGANDS. Murder omi Bobbery Spread Terror Among (be People. Two Bogl ineuts of Kundes Aro in Pursuit And Have Killed Mo t m al Bandit Loaders. Boigu of Outlawry ls Without a Modern Precedent. The mountainous sections of the states of Durango and Sinaloa, Mex ico, are overrun with bands of bri gands. The entire territory is in a state of terror. Brigandage has al ways prevailed to some entent in the mountains lying between Duango and the Pacific port of Mazatlan. The present outbreak of outlawry is the worst thc country has known since the days following the last bloody strife, when little attempt was made at preserving law and order. The portion of the territory where the brigands are operating is 75 miles wide and more than 200 miles long. Not less than nine bands of brigands are active in this territory and trav el is absolutely dangerous. Ranch men and peaceable settlors are terror stricken. WAH OF KXTICKMINATION. There are no two full regiments of rurales working in the turbulent territory, under orders from Presi dent Diaz to show no quater to thc bandits when they are captured. They are engaged in a war of exter mination, but with not much appar ent success. Many of the brigands have been killed but others seem ready to take their places as soon as they fall. Thc bandits are merciless with the rurales. A few days ago they found six of the troopers slecj) ing and killed them before they could reach their guns. Many of the ru rales were banditti at one time themselves, and, for this reason, know the ways and the bidding places of the men they are pursuing. They are relentless in the perfor mance of their duty. BRIGANDS QUICK TO KI 1.1.. The number of murders and rob beries that have been committed during the last three months will never be known. The brigands are not slow to kill, when any resistance is made lo their attempts at robbery. In some instances whole families have been wiped out of existence. Encounters between the rurales and banditti are almost of daily occur rence. Several of the bandit leaders have been killed. Among others Porfirio B. Ohaso, one of the most notorious. Ile was overtaken and killed while planning a raid at Con itaca. In the same encounter three of his followers were killed and two rurales wounded. Gerardo Nunez is another bold bandit leader, who was recently captured and killed. He had raided a ranch within 5o miles of Durango, carrying away $7.000 in money and valuables. DESPERADO PROTECTS WOMAN, .luau Longorio is at the head of a band of brigands that is operating in the C?sala district. He has been working for the past three years, and has raided many ranches. One thing he will not do is allow a wo man to be hurt. He will order ex ecution of men, if they resist, but a woman can leave her premises and take all she wishes with her. Lon gorio has been known to leave food and suppli?s at the homes of poor women, which he has visited. Fre quently these materials have been found to be plunder he has taken from a nearby ranch or home of a rich planter or miner. The rurales have been in pursuit, but seem to be unable to capture1 him. He has so worked himself into the good graces of the women that they will protect him and his men when they are be ing hard pressed.
