The Seventy-Foui th Annual Meeting Held in Charleston. j J*ews ana courier. The seventy-fourth annual session of the Evangelical Lutheran synod of South Carolina conveyed in St. An drew's church on Wentworth street, the Rev. J. A. B. Scherer, pastor. This body is composed of all the Lutherans in the State, with a small exception, and the Lutheran churches in Augusta, Ga, A full delegation was present, both of clerical and lay members. The opening exercises began at 10 a. m. The regular altar services cf the Lutheran church were conducted by the Rev. J. B Fox, Ph. D., of Nevfcerry. The synodical sermon was preached by the retiring Presi dent, the Rev. M. M. Kinard, Ph. D. He chose as his theme: ''The Mani fested Christ, the Sinner's Hope." The sermon was a strong one, and was delivered in Dr. Kinard's characteristic style. He spoke first of the e -l .r ;r? I I ctCl (J1 V./UI10I/B LUttUliCBlOLUJi-l. -tut sermon was followed by the Holy Communion, with confession and absolution conducted by the Rev. T. S. Hallman, D. D., of Prosperity. Dr. Kinard then formally opened synod according to the liturgical form in the common service. The President's report showed many encouring features. From it was gleaned the following: Ministers dismissed from Synod during the year; The Rev. J. C. Trauger, to the Eastern Pennsylvania synod: the Rev. N. D. Bodie to the Georgia synod; the Rev. J. H. Wisp, to the Southwestern Virginia synod; the Rev. A. G. Voight, to the the North Carolina synod; the Rev. R. C. Holland, to the North Carolina synod.

Mat bias, to the Sr. Micbeel pastorate; the Rev. J. J. Long, to Pomaria, and the Rev. W. A. C. Muller, on the death of his venerable father, became pastor of St. Matthew's church, Charleston. The Rev. J. A B. Scherer was installed in the St. Matthew's pastorate by the Rev. J. H. WilsoD; the Rev. K Boldt was installed into St. Johannes by the Lutheran pastors in Charleston; the Rev. H. A. McCullough was installed at Cameron by the Rev. George S. Bearden; Mount Hebron church, Delmar, S. C., apI plies for admission into synodical connection.

Daring the year the college obtained, after a loDg fight, $15,000 for damages si s taiDed during the war by the Fede eral troops. The theological seminary has been permanently located duiiDg the year at Mt. Pleasant, after an itinerant existence of 08 years this month. Daring the year death has taktn away three of the Synod's beloved ministers, the Rev. A. Freyschmidt, the Rev. J. Martz and the Rev. Louis Mailer, t iree young meri. H. J. Lt ng, Y. V. A.

C , Nov. 3.?This has been an eventful day in the pro- \ gress of the terrible struggle now J pending here for white supremacy in the administration of city and county government. The great white i men's rally and barbecue was a ; powerful demonstration of the thor ough organization, enthusiasm and j terrible earnestness of the white ! men of Wilmington and New Han , over county. In the long procession i which paraded the principal streets j of the city there were three or four ; hundred men wearing red shirts and i many of them carrying Winchesters j strapped over their shoulders. At the park where the barbecue was served a number of campaign orators delivered red hot speeches, which were cheered to the echo. There were. maDy ladies in the | 1 audience, and they waved miniature : flags and were as enthusiastic as any j ' of the red shirts. i ' The burden of all the speeches ; ( wra8 the one great issue of forever 1 abolishing negro rule from the city, 1 county and State and the supression j ' of their growing insolence. ; ' THE APPEAL OE VIBTUE.

The chairman of the Republican county convention gave cut the state- j ment tonight that the convention j had met and adjourned eioe die without making ncmiDaticns fur j couDty or legislative ticket. This means that the compact between Gov. Russell and the business men | of Wilmington is to be kept and the | present Democratic ticket is to have no opposition by the Republican party. It remains to be seen whether or not the negroes will put an in dependent ticket in tbe field. If j they do not there is little probability i of riot or bloodshed. W. J. M. THE PRESS ACCOUNT.

My food did not agree with me and felt like a stone in my stomach. I began to bloat all over until I thought I bad dropsy. "I had pains and soreness in my left side which extended clear across my back and also the regiou of my heart. During these spells a hard ridge would appear in the left side of my stomach and around the 'left side. '" These attacks left me sore and exhausted. All last summer I was so nervous that the children laughing and playing nearly drove me wild. I suffered also from female troubles and doctored with ten differ ent physicians without receiving any help.

Vorkvillo Enq lirer. Til never pull fodder again: that is settled."' Thi9 is what Mr. McI ai rt oni/1 1 afif At? ?r? U on noLo viatu oaiu laoo JI juua y wuuu oanafied as to the result of his recent experiment of harvesting his corn in accordance with the western method of cutting down the stalks and shocking them in the field. How Mr. McCiain, instead of pulling fodder, cut his corn down and shocked it in the field with a view to runniog it through a shredder later on, was told in The Enquirer early in the fall, and we promised at the time to tell our readers how the experiment panned out. Mr McCain began shredding last Monday, and the reporter went down to Springddl to see the result. A corn shredder is a machine which, in a general way, looks some I- _ L 1*1 _ L 11 1 __ Z L. * wnai use a siraw cuuer, oniy it is larger and there is considerably more machanism about it. There is a frame about six feet high, feed table large enough to hold several armsful of cornstalks, some corrogated rollers, and behind these a shaft carrying about ten large toothed circular saws set side by side and some three inches apart. The machiue runs by steam power and at a very high speed, the saws revolving at the rate of several thousand revolutions per minute. The cornstalks are fed into the machine butt end foremost and are chewed up by the corruggaUd rollers, which mash and tear them on down ' 3 the ear of corn, which is attacked from the base, stripped from the shuck and thrown out of the machine through a spout on the right hand side into a hamper basket. The stalks and shucks pass on through the rollers against the saws and are torn into fragments varying from 3 to 4 inches in length downward to almost dust. The product is called "stover," which is turned o it at the rate of about a ton per hour and which is said to be a most excellent roughness for stock. But the corn, which instead of having been allowed to mature on fodder stripped stalks, has for several weeks been standing in the field in the shocks. The condition of this is the question just now. Most of it is in perfect condition, a great deal of it is more or hss damaged, and simeof it a total los3. At a rough estimate, the reporter would say that about 70 per cent, was perfectly sound, about 2) per cent, was more or less damaged aud about 10 per cent, was a total loss?utterly worthless. This estimate is based on the appearance of a pile containing about 30 bushels, all that had beeu husked at the time of the reporter's visitor. However, this condition should not be too hastily attributed to the method of harvesting, for that would be a serious mistake. The totally worthless corn was such as had been knocked fram the shocks and allowed ti lie on the ground, where it rotted UI t??JlUUieUj XULiUUllJ^ LLI15, iiUH' ever, the per centage of damage is no greater than is beiDg reported from all sections of the county, even n upland corn that has been treated according to the usual methods. Taking these facts into consideration Mr. McCiain is perfectly satisfied with his experiment, and so is his foreman, Mr. Hogue. That is why McCiain is so emphatic in his declaration that he will null no more fod der. The "Stover," of which thero will be tons and tons, will be baled and packed away as rapidly as practicable: but with such a heavy crop as Mt\ .UtClaiu be.8 on baud, the work of sbrrddmg will probably require w< eks. 80 far the experiment looks like it is a complete success and Tbe Euquiier believes tbat it will be well wortbtbe while of farmers, especially those w ho operate 00 a pretty extensive scale, to give tbe wbole matter a careful investigation.
