In a few moments after he left a shot was heard, whereat Mr. Stalnaker said "that ; shot sounds like my pistol." Mrs. Stalnaker asked him where his pistol was ; he replied in the house. Mrs. Stalnaker then said she would go and see. Both went in the house and found the pistol gone. Suspecting from these circum stances that something was wrong, they went in the direction Mr. Aiton had gone and soon found him lying on the ground, not dead, (he lived two or three hours after wards), but unconscious. There were two bullet holes found on his person, one in the head and the other in the breast. No cause can be assigned for the rash act, although deceased had been slight ly unwell for several days.

If Adam were like men are now, I guess he ate of the same apple, and tried to Lite it right in the same place where Eve did at that. But what I wish to say is, that ever since the eating of the apple, this wheel of time has been running over stumps, rocks, and everything else un pleasant. Yes, the rain has given "General Green" somewhat the advantage of our farmers, but give us what Joshua prayed for-a few more hours of sunshine-and we will show you who will come off victor.

It was especially gratifying to hear the examination and con tests in spelling from the primary grades through intermediate to the advanced classer. Following this wa * au examination in history. We were carried from the discovery of America up to the firing on Fort Sumter, and through that contest in imagina tion ; watched Columbus and his crew as they sailed from Falos and commenced their voyage on the great ocean, mare incognitum.

ENCORE. Franklin, S. C. District Conferences, Their Pur poses and Uses. The Columbia District Confer ence will convene in Edgefield July 6th and continue in session for four days. The Introductory sermon will be preached by the Rev. R. E. Stackhouse on Wednesday night. Some fifty lay and twenty cleri cal delegates compose this confer ence. They will come from Fair field, Richland, Orangeburg, Lex ington, Aiken, and Edgefield coun ties. It is probable that a Bishop will preside. Rev. John C. Kilgo, will be here as the representative of Wofford College. Dr. Sam B. Jones and Rev. Marion Dargan will be present and represent the Colum bia Female College. Rev. Geo. W. Walker, president of Payne Insti tute, Augusta, Ga., will attend. Dr. W. D. Kirkland, the valiant editor of our conference organ, the Southern Christian Advocate, will make his first visit to Edgefield. This conference is, perhaps,near?. er like Mr. Wesley's original con ferences or "Conversations" than any other meeting of the church. Careful inquiry is made into the spiritual condition of the charges of the district. The whole . terri tory is carefully scanned with a view to ascertaining if there ?B any unoccupied ground where a mission might be profitably estab lished. Moral wastes in this way are discovered, which often under good cultivation, yield a large har vest. The District Conference is one of the best forms of Sunday School Conventions. Special in quiry is made"as to Sunday-schools I and the manner of conducting, them. Hero are the "workers" from the various parts of the field, with practical' information with reference to the work and needs of the Sunday-school. The financial and temporal in terests of the church receive "a large share of attention. By in telligent comparison of methods the most efficient systems of church finances are developed. ' The social power belonging to this gathering is a fact of no little importance. Laborers in the Lord's vineyard meet in hallowrd com munion and fellowship and thus strengthen each other's hands. The moral and religious influ ence of the conference is good to the use ef edifying upon the com munity where it assembles. Our. discipline provides that "at these conferences prominence shall be given to religious exercises, such as preaching, prayer meetings, love-feasts, and the administration of the sacraments." That the happiest results may attend this gathering of the Mas ter's servants, especially to our be loved town and the territory im mediately represented, let us de voutly pray. A.B.WATSON. Edgefield, June 20. Blood and Brains will Tell. The following from the Nash ville Sunday news gives an account of a^family of Edgefield Jenningses in Tennessee : Tennessee plays an important part iu the afiairs of government under Grover Cleveland's second administration. Some of the most lucrative and responsible positions that have been given out have fallen to Tennessens. One of the latest appointments was that of Mr. T. E. Jennings to the very difficult .and therefore com plimentary position of Bank Ex aminer of the Pacific Coast States. Mr. Jennings is a son of Prof. R. W. Jennings, president of Jennings' Business College, of this city, and received his business training in the counting-room of his father. Prof. Jennings certainly has just cause to feel proud of his children. Eight months ago R. W. Jennings, Jr., was elected attorney- general of the Port Townsend district of Washington, over the strongs st man that could be brought into the race against him ; three months ago in France' his daughter, in a contest where representatives of ...__-1_?-1- v ?.*,.? ... . ; The Sunday Times doffs the hat and extends its best shaped hand to the professor in cordial greeting. The Daily American in speaking of the late appointment has this to say : "Comptroller Eckless has ap pointed Thos. E. Jennings, son of Mr. R. W. Jennings, of this city, to the position of Bank Examiner of the Pacific Coast States. The position is not only one of great responsibility, but lucrative, being worth $5,000 a year. Young Jennings received his training in the counting-room of his father, and together with his brother, Robert W., moved to Washington State several years agc. The latter is now attorney general for the Port Townsend district. The success of the brothers hae been remarkable, and is the source of pleasant knowledge to the many friends whom they left in their old home." The following is from the Banner of the 10th:, "The comptroller of the currency has appointed Tho. E. Jennings, formerly of Nashville, to the posi tion of National Bank Examiner for the Pacific Coast States. Iti* understood that the office will pay something like $5,000 per annum. His younger brother, R. W, Jen nings, it will be remembered, was elected last November to the office of attorney general of the Port Townsed, Wash.J district. These brothers left Nashville three years ago when Thomas engaged in the banking business and Robert commenced the practice of law. Their success has been phenomenal. They are the sons of R. W. Jennings, of this city. _ When the blood is loaded with impurities, the whole system be comes disordered. This condition of things cannot last long without serious results. In such cases, a jow?rful alterative is needed, such as Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It never fails, and has no equal. Bill Nye's income is probably the largest of any humorist alive, for bbside8 the immense amount he realized from his annual tours, he has a yearly income from his. books of over $20,000-his full inoome being estimatad at $50,000. This year's businesss in the West has been . enormous. ' THE KEELEY INSTITUTE.

Its merits have been fully tested for more than twelve years, and we have, no hesitation in pronouncing it to be what the press has already named "AN INFALLIBLE CUBE FORDBUMENNESS." We are prepared to give all cases special advice and attention by correspondence throughout the treatment and to look closely after each case from beginning to finish ; the-object being to save the victim from the Liquor Habit wherever found, and to certainly make a Cure in every Case to which the Remedy is sent. No additional charge is made for such services.' Report blanks are sent with the Remedy for Home Treatment, one of "which the patient is requested to fill out every three days and re turn tous, which'is answered by a personal letter of advice and in structions. By this system of Re port blanks we keep a close watch over the treatment, taking charge of it from beginning to finish, and thus facilitat9 the cure.

Is the only existing Company whose policies are, orean be subject to the MAINE NON-FORFEITURE LAW. WHAT IT IS. The Maine Non-Forfeiture law protects policies from forfeiture by reason of default of payment of premiums. It provides that, after three years' premiums have been paid, failure to pay any subsequent premiums shall not forfeit a policy, but it shall continue in force for its full amount until the reserve (less a small surrender charge) upon the policy is exhausted. . The reserve is a sum made "up of portions of each and every pre mium paid upon a policy in anticipation of its maturity. Beginning with a small portion of the fiwt premium, it is increased each year by the addition of each subseqnent premium, and grows larger year by year, until, at maturity, it exactly equals the face of the policy. When a policy is discontinued therefore, there is in the hands of th? Com pany a reserve, greater or less, according to the character and age of the policy. Instead of permitting the Company, upon non-payment of premium, to confiscate this reserve, the Maine Non-Forfeiture Law requires the Company to continue the policy in force until the policy holder receives an equivalent for it in extended insurance. / How IT WORKS. If a person, aged 35, pays three years' premiums upon a twenty payment Life policy and then discontinues payment, the policy wil be continued 4 years and 257 days longer; if he pays five premiums, and then discontinues, the insurance will continuo 7 years and 357 days longer. If the policy is a twenty year endowment, same age, three years' payments will give an extension of 8 years and 150 days ; five years' payment 13 years, 300 days. If the policy is a 15 Year Endowment, ($1,000) same age, three years' payments will secure insurance to the end of the endowment period and $13.68 in cash if insured lives till that time, and in like manner ten years' payments secures insurance for the full 15 v??- . . .? .. 4 j ;:>.;:.:;'. . .. ... . ? ' . po-?c.v. f>?* . . What it Has Done. The Company Has Paid over Two Hundred Death Claims, in con sequence of this law, aggregating m suma insured more than Four Hundred Thousand Dollars. In every case there had been a default in the payment of pre mium, and, except for this law, .the policies would have been of little or no value. Instead of this, the insurance in each case was extended to the time of death, and the Company was required to pay to the beneficiaries under the policies the sum of $418,335.77. Tie Fie o? Maine ' Lat Extensions as Compared WITH: zpjLan-TTP TTAXITTES. It is the custom of many companies to provide in their policies that, upon discontinuance of payment of Premium, paid-up policies will be given, without the option of extension. This was the practice of the Union Mutual before the Maine Non-Forfeiture Law was en acted, but it now substitutes for paid-up values the more advantage ous plan of extended insurance. The objection to the paid-up system is that the amount of paid-up insurance which is given upon the dis continuance of payments upou a policy, unless it has .Been in force a great many years, is insignificant, and of little or no value as protec tion ; and it leaves the insured who ceases payment without adequate insurance at the very time he needs it the most. The great advantage of the extended insurance afforded by the Maine Law over the most liberal paid-up system is strikingly shown by the following comparison, and it will be observed that the paid-up value is insignificant m comparison with the amount actually paid by the Union Mutual. The result of two hundred and twelve policies was this : If the insured had received paid-up policies instead of ex tended insurance, the Company would have had to pay in settlement of the claims only. $98,197.50 Whereas, in fact, it did pay under the Maine Law, $418,344.77 Making a difference in favor of the beneficiaries under Two Hundred and Twelve policiei of $320,147.28 The policies are free from all restrictions, and incontcstible after ONE YEAR. A grace of one month is given in the payment of premiums. For further information call on, or address, ' B. B: EVANS, Manager for South Carolina, Office, No. 1, Advertiser Building,
