The resolutions in relation to lawlessness adopted by the District Conference ol the A M. E. church recently held at Dixie, which were published in the last issue ot The News, rellect grea' credit on that b >dy ot colored citizens. They evidence the fact tliat the better class of that race have some appreciation of what constitutes good ci izenship, and that they have nosym pathv for the law-breaker, wheth er he be black or white. Chester is thinking ol hav ing ;i street railway system. A party of capitalists liave made application for a franchise to construct and operate such a system in ihe town. The agitation ot tliis matter in Ches'er recalls to mind the lact that our other enterprising neighbor, i Rock Hill, at one time had some- j thing with a mule at one end and a nigger at the other that, made a noise like a street car. Wonder what ever became ot it. Is it still making hebdomadal trips to Oakland, Kbenezer or some other point up the road, or is it now doing duty as a street sprinkler? TILL/HAN AS A LECTURER. Newspaper reports are conflicting as to how Senator Tillman is being received throughout the country as a lecturer, but whether his audiences relish what he lias to s ?y or not, there seems to be no doubt about the fact that he is proving to be a phenomenal success as a drawing card, so to speak, for he is being offered more engagements to lecture than he can possibly fill in the next twelve mouths.
