Shand, of the Cincinnati Evening Press lias been in "Wiunsboro for a week or more looking into the affairs, politically and industrially, of this State. The Nkws and Hi:rai?d reporter had & short interview with him 011 Mon.lav in reference to his impression?. Mr. Shand said, in substance that he was well pleased with the general aspect of things, and thought this a great country, and the only thing needful was a little extra energy. Re said that from what he had learned from some prominent farmers on the streets of "Winnsboro, he saw'no reason wdy such productive lands should not easily command $100 an acre. Speaking of Northern emigration to this State, he sail the great drawback was what Northern people considered thi unsettled condi tlUH Ui II1U CUllC ['uaiiuanji juvluv cratsand Republicans, both, in the North, in looking at th3 census, notice (he large negro majoriiy at the South, and arc loth to invest money in this section, where at any time there might be a political revolution^ and a consequent degression in prices. On the reporter assuring him that political affairs were pretty well settled in this State, he said that he knew that Northern people did not understand the situation, especially the great majority who had never been Souih. He thought that until the Northern mind was disabused of the idea of political disfranchisement at the South, there would be r.o considerable investment of Northern capital in these parts. Mr. Shand spoke in a free and open manne'r of our condition, and naturally impressed one with the sincerity of his beliefs. lie is not only a newspaper man, but is an author, and should he publish his impressions in his paper our readers will doubtless see them.

When immigration is solicited in order to supplant the colored man, I have objected to it. I have befriended him. We are acquainted with him, and he with us. He will bear more hardships and live on rougher diet than any emigrant. But are there no reasons why he is objectionable? I think there are, and I think there are remedies. I give my own experience, and I have lived long among them, and 1 find many ungrateful and very stubborn, especially of the rising race.

We are old people and did not wish to be disturbed at all hours of the night, frightened out of our sleep by such unearthly yelling, nor did we want it by day, either in the road or on our premises. Yet have all these notices been unheeded, and one young buck iiafj thf* imrmdenee to tell me the road rdnning through our land was as j much his as mine, and he would Jo as j he pleased, as he had the right.

Mr. Editor: An account of the recent meeting of this body may not be ivithout interest to some of your read 5i*s. u no meeting was nciu wnn me [3culah Church which is about fifteen niles south-cast of Columbia, on Thursday, 11 October, and continued ts sessions until Sunday following. The morning was very unfavorable for :he meeting, ar.d some of the messengers who had reached the ncighborlood over evening were not able to ittend on account of the rain. A suficicnt number, however, were present [or organization. One of the members was called to the chair in the absence of the former moderator. When he letters were read and the names of uessengers enrolled, /he body then proceeded to the election of permanent officers. During the absence of the :ellers, Mr. II. Edmunds gave quite a :ouching talk, stating among other :hings that he had not been 13eulah Jliurch for thirty years, though it was iiis old Church where he was baptised, and that about the first man he met 3ii reaching the ground this m >rning was his old friend Joseph Iloweli, tvho was baptised at the same time ind place. The following permanent officers wcreelected: E. F. Corley, Modera-j tor, Dr. fJolia JJova vjierii, una w. m. Coleman, of Kidgcwav, Treasurer. Without following the line of business [ shall only give some items. Introductory sermon v;as preachcd by J. M. lio'od, missionary of the Association. On application made by the pastor of the Winnsboro Church the Fairfield Church was received as a constituent member of the body. On the second day Col. Hoyt, of the Courier, and Ii H. Griffith, of Greeurille, financial agent of Fur man University, came in, and both made excellent addresses in regard to the obiccts they represented, lie A. Pitttnan made a beautiful speech on tiome missions, which includes the work in Cuba. ^ On Friday night L II. Aiken, pastor of Hock Creek and Little liiver Churches, preachcd a very impressive sermon from John 15, li?the same text from which the introductory was preadied on Thursday, but of course neither one knew auything about the other's text. I. R. Aiken preached again on^Saturday night by urgent request. ~McA. _Pittman preached a [jootl sermon on Ttiursaay nigac. u:i Sabbath the Sabbath-School was addressed at'10, A. M., by II. Edmunds. W. C. Lindsay, of Columbia, preached at 11 o'clock, and B. F. Corley preached the charily sermon at 12 o'clock. Aiken and Pittman are young men of fine premise, an;! ;v jnld no doubt be a blessing to ; Association if our churches wo::.u .jeep them. Cut this is the trouble. It is now too late in the day for any of us to think we can have good preachers without paying a srcod salary. It is useless now to pray God to raise labourers into his vineyard, while we starve those who are Ijihnnvino*. Pavmcnt should be nunc D ' tual and prompt. Time cannot cancel the balance due on ministers' salaries. If it is never paid still it will be forever due. Thcio two yonug brethren made a fine impression on the people about Beulah. On Saturday quite an interesting discussion arose, but the resolution which gave it birth was voted down. The meeting was one of great harmony and cordiality. I shall defer saying anything about the church and the people of " Beulah until next week. The next meeting will be held at Rock Creek Church. 3IORRIS CREEK. P.

It was at first qnite a source of wonder how. they were kept in such a slate, but after a few days : residence, it was discovered that the "help" spent many hours a day, mop , in hand, scrubbing away at the mar- ' b!e. in l-/x?rnn?r xvifh enrvf le?s steps are the quaint old Quaker ladies end gentlemen we occasionallysec coining down them. The younger Quakers seem to have given up the characteristic dress, and great is the pity, for nothing could form so - suitable a back-ground for their sw^el, placid faces as the prim grey bonnets or the broad brimmed hats. Another sight recalling the past is the old Church of St. Peter. On entering you are at a loss to locate yourself. Some persons are facing the eastern, others the western end of the Church. Yon wonder what this can mean, bnt you soon see. At one cud of the Church is the reading desk, and immediately above it and reached by a long flight of steps is the pulpit, quite fifteen feet above you. At the other end is the altar and-the chancel. Above is the organ, and on the sides are the chorister boys. j j.But soon the Klrtrtlr lvic cr?m? rAnt* V I UVi\ i UWVM JL/VWUIV vvvtt ^ VMA perplexity and shows you a se3t. The pews arc high and "box-shaped." Seats were originally on the sides facing the altar and pulpit respectively, but owing to the increasing demand for seats some were divided. It. is quite disconcerting when you get in one of these, and in rising some are seen to face the clcrgvmau and others will face the altar. Two persons side by side will be looting in opposite directions. At the conclusion of the morning prayers the Clergymen, preceded by the Beadle, came down ins aisie ana iouk men* places in the chancel, where the service was concluded. The Clergyman, again cscorted by the Beadle, went up the aisle to the pulpit, where he took his place for the sermon. It is a quaint, quiet, old church. The appointments arc quite simple, though the congregation is a rich one. They love to keep the old church just as it was when their fathers worshipped there. But to many visitors to whom the quiet, grey old church would not appeal, there is auother sight?John Wanamakers! This immense store runs through from Market street to Chestnut and covcrs an entire square. It is said to be the largest store in the world?for beside it the famous shops of London and even the BonMarche of Paris are all dwarfed. And of the variety of goods kept it is only necessary to say that you can furnish au entire house without leaving it. Furnaces, hardware, carpets, furniture, curtains, linen, crockery, silver, pictures and bric-a-brac. Also outfits for men, women or children, jewelry, and even scientific instruments. His retail book business is the largest in the city. Books of all kinds?Clarissa Hariowe, or Haggard's latest edition de luxe, or the Keystone Library, at ten cents per work. It is bewildering to go over his store, and when, foot-sore and weary, but confident of having seen all, yon suddenly come upon some department hitherto passed by you dispair of ever seeing all that John "VVanamaker has! To one familiar with the political complexion of the South it seems very queer to be in a city so intensely Republican as this. Harrison and Mortnn honnprs float over the streets; Harrison and Morton clubs block the way with their processious; upraised arms wilh hummers declare Protection to American workmen, and every one you meet has the same tale of defeat for Cleveland and overwhelming victory for Ilarrisou. So great is the political cxcitement that even ladies enter the arena. In one of the most prominent shops on Chestnut street there is a bulletin board announcing, "This is the only place in the city where women can vote." Every female purchaser is entitled to vote without respect to "age, color or previous condition of servitude." There are two boards, one surmounted by Harrison's picture, contains this item - t J ? /ii 1 3?^ ? 06/ votes, unuer v^ievcitiiiu s yiv turc on the oilier board we read?but Democratic eye? turn away in sorrow, so hopeless is Cleveland's minority! But despite its politics one must be hard to please who cannot find numberless attractions in this Quaker City. VISITOR. Electric Bitters.

As they operate directly on the stomach and "bowels, they indirectly affect every other organ of the body. When the stomach is ont of order, the head is affected, digestion fails, the blood becomes impoverished, and yon fall an easy victim to any prevalent disease. Miss II. E. Boyle, of Wilkesbarre, Pa., puts the whole truth in a nutshell, when she says: u I nse no other medicine than Ayer's Pills. They are all that any one needs, and just splendid to save J money in doctors' bills." Here is an instance of A Physician who lost his medicine chest, hut, having at hand a bottle of Ayer's Pills, found himself fully equipped.?J- Arrison, M. D., of San Jos6, Cal., writes: " Some three years ago, by the merest accident, I was forced, so to speak, to prescribe Ayer's Cathartic Pills for several sick men among a party of engineers in the Sierra Nevada mountains, my medicine chest having been lost in crossing a mountain torrent. I was surprised and delighted at the action of the Pills, so much so, indeed, that I was led to a further trial of them, as well as of your Cherry Pectoral and Sarsaparilla. I have nothing but praise to offer in their favor." John W. Brown, M. B., of Oceana, W. Va., writes: 44 I prescribe Ayer's Pills in my practice, and find them excellent. I urge their general use in families." T. E. Hastings, M. D., of Baltimore, Md., writes: " That Ayer's Pills do control and cure the complaints for which they are designed, is as conclusively proven to me as anything possibly can he. They are the best cathartic and aperient within the reach of the profession." * Ayer's Pills, PREPARED BY Dr. J. C. Ayer- & Co., Lowell, Mass. Sold by all Druggists. STRAYED OK STOLEN.
