ten miles east of Ridgeway, on last

Fairfield and Richland counties, thirty

are the Firs:, Second and Third

The Longtown church is under the
efficient pastoral care of Rev. H. E.

Tf wfttt a Rftd flnnnnnfipment of the
death of Ernest B. Stevenson. 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.
Peaceful he thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in the grave so low;
Thou no more will join our nomber,
Thou no more oar songs shall know.
Doarocf "Erneaf. f.hoil has left U3.
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
Bat 'tis God that has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the dav of life has fled,
Then in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.

AN INTERESTING LECTURE.
Rev. 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. He as

A WORD TO SUBSCRIBERS.
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.

MX. ZIOX COLLEGE.
Mr. Editor: Mt. 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. Ia a:i old well established
college, education is not only
acquired by study, but i? absorbed.
(Education, as it were, permeates the
j atmosphere of educational centresSome
jears ago a highly intellectual
S man moved from Vi innsboro to an
other town in the b;ate. ueturuiog
on a visit In was ask-rd how he was
getting on. lie replied: 4-Very well
as to business, but the people of the
town are not as cultivated as th-' people
of Winnsboro, who owe their
superior intelligence to Mt. 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.
