It will be a sorrowfnl message to all who enjojed that dear boy's friendship or acqnaintance. He was a noble specimen of a true m an?a genial, high toned gentleman, whose place will be very hard to fill. He was one of the best of sons and brothers, and truest of friendg. Those who enioyed his friendship can never forget him. He was always a welcome guest at our home; and oh I how we will miss him now. It cheers us to know that Ernest died triumphant and happy. It is difficult to realize tea fact that one whom we had so lately seen ac tively engaged in the business of life should now be numbered with the dead. His memory will be enshrined in the hearts of all who knew him. "His life was gentle, and the elements so fixed in him that nature might stand up and say to all the world, 'This was a man.'" Ernest, thou most mild and lovely, flontlo qo thp onmmpr hreeze. Pleasant as the air of evening,' When it floats among the trees.

Mr. Ishida of Kobe, Japan, pursuant to appoiatmen\ delivered his lectnre in the Methodist Church on Tuesday eveniug at 7.30. The first part of his talk was devoted to relating the difficulties he encountered in learning our language, and evoked considerable laughter. Among other things he told of his settlemeut ot a hotel bil]s in which the proprietor said his bill was ten dollars, but he would make it half price, whereupon he handed him a five dollar bill, the man remarked "now we are square, come round again." He was puzzled tfk Vnnw what he meant. A friend suggested that he cousult a dictionary, thishe did and found the word square meant a figure with four sides, so he found no relief from his embarrassment. Finally in his cogitations this thought struck him: the five dollar bill has four corners, and is square, he means that I must pay the balance in silver dollars, which are round, so he tendered the man the silver dollars, when the kind host informed him he meant that tho bill had been settled. So h8 foand to bis relief, that in English, the word square has more than one application. The latter part of his address wa3 a recital of his own convertion, that is to say in Metho' ' KZ.? G1SI p^n^QC6| UU IU1U mo He was converted in bis own native land under the ministry of Dr. Lambuth, a missionary of the M. E. Church South. His father being a Buddhist priest of course drove him from his home. His description of his parting with his father and bis mother and sister, of his repeatedly writing them from this land of strangers where he was sojourning for three long years before hearing from thc-in, of his continuing to pray for them, and of his finally receiving * letter in his father's owu handwriting, bringing the good news of his own conversion, and that of his mother and sister, was as patbetic as it was interesting. Bat thjs grandest ; and most touching perhaps of all was i his prayer at (be close; for child-like ! simplicity and directness of appeal il I was hard to surpass. After tbia he exhibited several articles of costnmo of his people and some exquisite needle embroidery, the hand-work of his sister.

We have often been asked by subscribers why we did not stop their paper when they failed to pay for it. Thi3 year we intend to adopt this plan. L-ist week we revised our subscription list, and cut off something over fifty subscribers. These were very much in arrears. When a subscriber fails io pay for his paper for several years, we think that bis paper ought to be stopped and it is an in justice to mmseir 10 allow it to be continued. In a few weeks we shall have another revision of oar list and drop some more. We do not intend to offenfl anybody but it takes over a hundred dollars in hard eash every month to ran this newspaper, and we cannot afford to run it for pleasure. Many of our best personal friends are among those whose papers have been discontinued, and we trust that they will soon come up and settle. We are anxious to have everybody in the county on our subscription list, but a biz list of nonpaying subscribers is not worth as much as a small paying list.. Some have answered our notices very promptly, and we assure tbem that it is appreciated. UPPER LOXGTOWN NEWS.

Zlon College was chartered in 1777. The school bad been going on some years before, so it has now been in exiatance more than 120 years, and until the war was the best high school in tlia State, attracting students not only from other parts of South Carolina but from ether oiaics. AUdt us ixierns wu jet wuompasse'J is attested by ili-3 hi^lx stands taken by Mt. Zion's boys and girls in Weet Point, Winthrop, the Citadel, Socth Carolina College and other firstclass colleges. Good schools have a refining and elevating inflnnce on towns which in time react upon the schools. Clnrlotiesville, Va.,aod Chapel Hill, X. C , have more refined aud educated populations than towns of the same size without colleges or new towns with ! new colleges, however well they may 'be equipped.

Zion, that lantern on the hill." These thoughts are suggested by the fact that some Fairfield people send their children to schools in other counties where the instruction, is certainly no better, if as good as in Wionsboro, and where the other helps to education and advancement in life are much inferior. A little reflection ought to convince tli?m mat tney ao injustice iu their children and to their county. Oct. 15, 1897. G. H. McMaeter. OASTORIA. STRAWS FROM STROTHER.
