Robbie Arnett brought Hezekiah Jordan, colored, to jail on Sunday evening for shooting Dan Kincaid, also colond. The shooting occurred on Sunday morning on the Joe Evans place whefe Dr. R. C. Arnett resides. Both men were armed, and Jordan used both a stick and pistol. After the shooting he ran. but was caushi after he had gone about two handred yards. It is thought that Dan Kincaid's wound will prove fatal. Jordan claims that it was accidental, and some say that he is not altogether of sound mind. -: Every body Says So.

It has been suggested by a great man)* cyclists in town that a local league should be formed, and tbe matter is mentioned here with the hope of inducing riders to take some steps towards this end. By forming a league, and adopiing rules and reguj lations and enforcing ihem, the league cou'd be made of great benefit to I bicycle riders. We notice some coinj plaints in Floience and Greenville ! ahont reckless ridiivsr. In the latter some youDg ladies had to be arrested. As the namber of jidew become more j numeroas, it is natural that there will I be some demand to lestrict the liberI ties of riders, 0:1 the part of council. The bicyclists should organize now ' and adopt proper regulation?, ard, perhaps, it would be weli to ask the town council to adopt some oidinince to carry out sach regulations as may be adopted.

Cooke died at his residence in this city this morning. He had long suffered from kidney -troubles and lis death was not unexpected. Judge Cooke was a native of Fnirfield County. Born July 1, 1831.

In January, 1873, he was ciected judge o c the eighth circuit by tde Republicans, and served five years, making an acceptable officer to the bar and the public generally.

A Vein of,Pine Quality Pink Granite Recently Discovered at Rlon. The following is clipped from the Charleston News aad Conner: At the quarries of the Winnsooro Granite Company, Rion, S. C., there has recently been discovered a vein of "pink granite" of superior quality. Tbis granite equals iu color that imported from Scotland, and is of a finer grain and closer texture, which will give it the quality of outwearing the Scotch granite, and preserve a polished face when the imported stock would disintegrate. This discovery now gives tlie Winnsboro Granite Company such varieties of granites as is not possessed by any one other quarry company in the United States. They have a "gray'' granite, that is most excellent for building purposes, and has been used in many public and private buildings throughout the country, and for street work, curbing, paving, etc., and well adaptedfor lower bases for monumental" work. ThenJ their "blue granite," susceptible of a very high polish, and extensively used for monuments, and their "fine grained blue," which compares ravorably with auy granites now in the markets of this country, and when once seen by dealers is much sought after for monumental work. The facilities of the n'irnctmm flroniii? Pnmmnv fr>r nuar ? T A UWW* V V? w j ? ^ ^ rying and handling tbese granites are of the best, and consumers have no need to go oat of their oven State to be supplied with as line a quality and as great a variety of granite as can be obtained in any portion of the world. A sample of the pink granite can be seen in the yard of VV, F. Biesnihan, Meeting streer, near Queen. PERSONAL. jidr. uan o. Ajatiuswes syeu. iuc Easter holidays at home. Mr. E. B.

Ad. STERLING REMEDY 0 BETHEL PKESBYTEKY. The Presbytery of Bethel began ils fall sessions in the Scion Presbyterian Church of oar town Tuesday night with a large proportion of members present. Rev. W. G. Neville, the retiring moderator, preached an impressive sermon from Zach., 4:G: "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts." The Presbytery will be in session from 9.30 a. m. to 1 p. m., and from 3.30 to o p. m., and from S o'clock to adjournment. j Rev. R. P. 1*0:1, of the Presbytery | of South Carolina, was invited to sit f ? ? \rr~ jj as a corresponding memoei, ana ?reunesday morning lie addressed the Presbytery on the aims and cbarac'.ers of the work done at the Presbyterian College for Women at Columbia. The eminent qualifications of tbe facultv was clearly and impressively shown. The, ministers of the filter churches j who were, present were invited to sit. with tbe Presbytery. : It was made the second orde* jf the day for Wednesday afternoon to hear the committee on the Rock Ilill High School and financial ageut. The name of the local clivrcli was entered and received as Siou Church of Winnsboro, instead of Scion, there having been some confusion, ami the church having been advised that property lights might be affected, if the name did not conform to the charter. A great deai of the time was con samel on Wednesday afternoon in beuing reports from the various churches. Twenty live ministers and forty-one elders were present on the fir=.t day. One matter of local 'nterest tha1 came up on Wednesday was whether or no: the pastoral relations of Rev. Russell should be severed. lie is i:i bad health, having been 'advised by his physician to leave this scction, a::d he resigned, bat his congregation refused to gra -t \i. Tne Presbytery dissolved his pastoral relations. Tli' 7 n Tnrt"ii o?r>1l mirlA a ef trine *y k iA * AllV/,M"V,i w.

In pursuance of special order a con ference on the subjcct of foreign missions vra-i bold on Wednesday night conducted by R:v. VV. T. Hall', D. D., and addresses were made by Rev. J. G. Hall and Rev. D. S. McAllister. Bethel Presbytery has .under its charge eigbte-jn licentiates and candi-, da'es. On Thursday the examination of Mr. Ratchford was begun. He was examined on experimental religion by the Moderator,1 Dr. Humphries, on Theology by Dr. W. T. Hall, Ecclesiastical History by Rev. S. II. Ilay, nn tfip Sacraments hv Rev. J. B. Swann.. On Thursday r.ighi Jilr. Ratcb ford preached his trial sermon; on the text assigned to him: "Lord, increase our faith." He handled his text well. The examination ot Mr. Ratchford was searching, and instructive to the spectators. The ex animation uri uie several >yu,-> sustained. The most interesting feature of the proceedings of Presbytery to the public was the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Westminister Assembly on Friday. The first address wa3 by Ptev. W. T. Hall, D. D., of the Columbia Theological Seminary, of Columbia, on The Causes which led to it; aod its Environments." This eminent theologian began his instructive address by reading the Ordinai.ee of the Lords and Commons ia Parliament, dated 12th June, 1643, calling the Westminister Assembly, wherein it is recited *'Whereas, amongst the infinite blessings of Almighty God npon this nation, none is. or ca:i be, more dear unto us than she purity of our religion ; and for that as yet many things remain in the Liturgy, discipline and government of the church which do necessarily require a further and more perfect reformation than yet hath been attained. And whereas it hath been declared and resolved by the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament that tbe present charch govern ment * * * * * is evil, and justly offensive and burdensome to this kingdom; and that therefore they are resolved that the same shall he taken away, and ?tbat such a government shall be settled in tbe church as may be most agreeable to God's Holy Word, and most apt lo procure and preserve the peace ol the church at bom?, aod nearer agi cement with the church of Scotland and other reformed churches abroad * * it is thought fit and necessary to call an assembly of learned, godly and judicious divines, to consult and advise of such matters and thiDgs, touchin-r the premises as shall be proposed unto them by belli or either oi the nouses of Parliament and to give their advice and counsel therein to both or either of said Houses, Trhen, and as often as thry shall be thereunto required." Then follows the formal provision for Lthe summoning by the Clerk9 of both Houses of the persons named "to meet and assemble at Westminister in the Chapel called Kii g Henry the Seventh's Chapel." Said the speaker: "It was not given authority {o ordain or establish anything, but was simply to consider questions affecting the English Church submitted to them by the Parliament and report the result of their deliberation Tf TTflS nritfipr n ( nnvnr.&tlon ) nor a Presbyterian General Assembly. | It met in a transition period."

The .answer to these . questions is ; found'in the opening paragraph the,-, ordinance?"the purity of - religion," "the vindicating and c?earit?g of the ^doctrine of thechurch of England .from all false. calumnies and " "'aspersion a."" The. speaker then dwelt upcn the reformation quotir-g Dr. Schaff: ''The Reformation of'theV'sixtcenth century next to the introduction of Christianity, the great event iuJiifctoi'y* t It taught the'.dire'ct cofinnunion of the believing soul "with ^Sljrist. it removed the a'BitractiojSS" of legalism, which, like the .traditions of-the Pharisees of old, had obscured the genuine Gospel and "made void ..the , SVord of Godl" - "This is all true^' said Dr. Hall. "It must not bevior|f' v. .>* gotten, however,- that so far as the : formal statement of tbe truth of- God's -J Word is concerned ihe Reformation naci its peculiar part, ivneioia mases the suggestive remark "that'to. the. | Greek church was assigned the task of , elaborating the doctrice of the Bibb concerning God, i. e. the doctrines, of , the Trinity and Person of Christ; to. s the Latin Church the doctrines, con- : ! cerciDg man, that is, of sin and grace-'; to the German church-, - sotc rrolo'gy/or the doctrine of justification.'" .Johir ' Calvin was the theologian and'ecclesiastical statesman of the ReformationEra.
