A Deserved Honor.
The Rev. A. Coke Smith, D. D.,
has lately received many honors. A
short while ago, at the meeting of the
General Conference of the M.Ji.
Church, South, Dr. Smith was elect
ed one of the two Assistant Mission
ary Secretaries. Scarcely had his
friends completed their congratula
tions before the news of another dis
tinction reaches South Carolina.
Within the past few days Dr. Smith
has been tendered the position of
Professor of Practical Theology in
Vanderbilt University at Nashville.
Dr. Smith, it is understood, has ac
cepted the position. This high and
worthy compliment to Dr. Smith will
be greeted with pleasure by his friends
all over South Carolina, but his re
moval from the State will be sin
cerely regretted.—News and Courier.
Dr. Smith is well known in Dar
lington, and his many friends here
are glad to learn of his success. He
is a brother-in-law of Rev. J. A. Rice.

“One thing at a Time'’ is a good
motto, the wisdom of which is ex
emplified by a striking picture in
the August number of Peterson’s
Magazine. A girl stands with a
broom in her hand, so completely
absorbed in a newspaper that she is
oblivious of the fact that the kettle
is boiling over on the stove, the toast
burning, and disorder generally
reigning in the kitchen. The num
ber is rich in fine illustrations, fash
ion-plates and needle-work designs.
Two serials begin this month, one a
tale of English life by George Grant,

The Auditor’s books show that the
whole amount of property returned

year 1889-90 is $3,097,420. The
amount for 1888-89 was $2,923,643.
Showingagain for this year of $173,-

rell aud W. A. Parrott Pastors and
Superintendents of Sunday Schools
were ex-officio members of the Con

and M. A. Seabrook, Statistical Sec

The Ginning, Milling, Fertilizer
and Warehouse Company.
This Company, under the skillful
management of Mr. A. C. McFall as
Superintenent, has done and is doing
a good work in our midst. The
buildings, machinery, etc,, have been
thoroughly overhauled and put in
first class order, and the capacity of
the mills has been increased. The
Hunger system has been added to
the ginning department for the pur
pose of receiving cotton by suction.
The corn meal department has been
increased by the addition of a mill
doubling the capacity to two hun
dred bushels a day. When these
mills were built engines were put in
of sufficient power to warrant the in
crease of producing machinery, and
even now the full power has not been
brought to bear. Mr. C. S. McCul
lough is the energetic President of
this flourishing Company.

would have then proceeded to make
nominations but it took more time to
pacify the dissatisfied brethren.

The eighteenth annual session of
the Darlington County Sunday Sdiool
Conference was heljl at Philadelphia
Church, beginning Thursday bight,
July 24, and closing Sunday, July 27,
Rev. W. B. Duiican, the appointee
for Thursday night’s service, .was
promptly on hand, but-the HeaVens
sent rain, for which they, of Phila
delphia, had been praying so longing
ly, Lid it descended in such copious
shotnrs that the 8;30. p. m. sermon
was in-evented.’’
Convening at 9;30 o’clock Friday
morning the Conference was called to
ordef by D. G. Du Bose, Esq., Chftir-
man of the Executive Committee,
and after devotional exercises con
ducted by Rev. J. K. McCain, a cor
dial Welcome by Rev. A. W. Parrott,

The sessions on Friday were well
E Miller and atten ^> ant * ^e Conference ad-
dressi&rttself manfully to the work
progfunmed.
Interesting, instructive and pleas
ing feets and figures were elicited by
addresses by Rev. J. K. McCain and
others on, “Missionary work in the
Sunday Schoolthrough the reports
from, the Sunday-Schools of the
County; and outtof the “Question

The Conference feared lest Rev.
W. A Wright, who'fikd been ill so
long and sorely, would uot come, but
he was there, in his place at the ap
pointed hotir, and preached to us with
wonkof earnestness and pathos of
“Lit
Oi Saturday the large concourse
of j> iple, the pleasant weather, the
qcca ion—all conspired to fnake it,
prol ibly, the best Conference ever
i held in the County.
| Itj^s generally conceded that the
l: sermon on Saturday by Rev. J. A.
iRicafof Darlington, evinced depth
of thought, broadness of view and a
keenconception of truth seldom man-
iffestsdby ordinary minds,
j Sijne of the pleasing facts elicited
by the Conference are these: That
is more and better work being

; that the Sunday School is a
ry which the M. E. Church,
must cultivate; and that the
Church realizes the possibilities of

of Capt. Lucas’s ability as a manager
is contained in the fact that he w as
elected President and Treasurer of
the Morgan Manufacturing Company
when it was organized, and also the
Morgan Iron Works, a full account
of which has already appeared in the

here has been short, but to-day he
