The Methodist District Conference for CoIrtsbUry District \VAs held atCokesbu rv oh the 24th, 25th ami lHUh of July. Tht* Cobferfciire Was organized \vith the Hew J. P. Fritchard, Presiding Klder, in the chair. Itev. Mr. Campbell, pastor of the church at Newberry, was elected Secretary, and Thos. S. Moorman. of Newberry, assistant secretary. The sessions ot the confereneo were from nine to eleven in the morning and front Four to six ih the afternoon. Divine services weie held at eleven o'clock each morning and again at night. The opening sermon was preached by fcev. J. D. Sinimcns, of Abbeville, on the text, "Jesus saith to Simon I'eter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? lie saith unto Him, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thoe. He saith unto him, Feed my Thursday and a part of Friday wore taken up in receiving reports from the different charges in tho District. The ministers generally reported tlio spiritual#condition of their churches good, and a few of them seemed much encouraged by the success which has attended their labors during the year. Tho financial reports were very fair, fully as good as could bo expected at this time of the year, some of the churches having rasied one half of their assessment, and most of them reporting that they expected to pay up in full. Among tho visitors present, were J. H? Carlisle, L. L. 1)., President of Wofford College, Rev. Mr. Dixon, Professor in the Columbia Femalo College and Rev? Sidi H. Brown, of Columbia, editor of the Christian Neighbor. Bishop Wight man arrived on Friday morning, took the chair, and presided over the conference from that time until it adjourned. Tho order of business for Friday afternoon was the election of delegates to the annual Conference, which meets ih Charleston in December next. The delegates elected are, J. Fuller Lyon of Abbeville, Mr. M. M. Boyd, of Newberry, Dr. B. C. Hart, of Cokosbury* And Mr. Lanior, of North Edgefield Circuit. Thesubjectof education was taken up Saturday morning at nine o'clock. The pastor of tho churchy at Cokesbury announced that it had been determined that this occasion should tako the place of tho mass meeting which was to be held at Cokesbury, in the interest of Wofford College, pursuant to tho order of the last annual Conference, directing maws meetings to be held in each Circuit and station at some timo during the year, and that a collection would be taken up for that purpose. Prof. Dixon of the Columbia Fomale College delivered a short address setting forth the claims of that institution upon the people of the Methodist church. He did not ask for any pecuniary aid, but reported tho College as not only self-sus taining but making some payments upon an old debt against the institution. Judging from the report made the college seems to bo doing a good work and richly deserves to be patronized. Dr. Carlislo was next introduced and spoke for an hour on the subject of education in general, stating in tho beginning of his speech that he did not intend to ask any one to give money to the college he represents. The Conference could do as they pleased. "We cannot attempt to give any idea of his specch, for that would be impossible. The entire audiencc seemed to be delighted with it, some pronounced it tho graudest onAAnK l?o/1 ftvfti? honrtl D|/VWU VUVJ *1MV? V V V? uvmui j After the speaking was overacollecti?n was taken up for Wofford College and about $165 were realized. One of the most interesting features of the meeting was an address delivered on Saturday afternoon by the Rev. Samuel Leard, on the "Early History of Methodism in Abbeville county." The speaker began with the first appearance of Methodists in the county, we think a few years before the beginning of this century, and came down to about the year 1835. The address was full of interesting and useful information, not only to Methodists, but to all others who feel an interest in the glorious past of our county, | and of eloquent tributes to the labors and self-sacrifice of the men who in those early times, did so much for the cause of civilization and Christianity. At eleven o'clock on Sunday morning Bishop Wightman preached an eloquent and effective sermon on the test, "That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world," * Philippians II: 15. Sunday afternoon there was a meeting of the "Woman's Missionary Society." Addressees were delivered by Bishop \Vightman and Rev. J. W. Kelly and reports of the work of the society in this State and throughout the South were read. This society 6eems to be doing a pood work already, and is destined to take a prominent place in the missionary work, notwithstanding the prejudice which many felt against it whon lirst organized. The meeting on the whole, was a de lightful ooeasion. The Ookosbury people Hilly maintained their well known reputation for hospitality, and did all that ocrnld be done for the comfort and enjoyment of the delegates and visitors. Giving Alms to Jeff Davis. Soon after the war the women of the country seemed t o run crazy about Jeff Davis' financial affairs, and many of them contribute of their scanty means to enrich the man who never knew what it was to want for the luxuries of life. For our own part we think Jeff Davis lowered tho dignity of a great chieftain in accepting alms, from tile poor and suffering people of i;he country. Recently a wealthy female friend disregarding the great suffering among her sex in the ycl low fevor stricken section, wmcu a largo estate to Jeff Davis, and we have no doubt the chivalrous Southron will take for his own use that which more properly and more justly belonged to the relatives of the deeeasod female, whose mind judging from her act, may have been diseased. The great leader of a ^reat people should refuse any such contributions. Jeff Davis to-day is worth ten times as much money as any of the women who contributed sinoe the war, their one dollar to mate him rich. We trust for the pride of the Southern people that these contributions by the poor will cease. Jeff Davia is in no need of any of the luxuries of life, but, like Grant he always seems willing to receive from whatever source. Sherman's Speech. Last week at Portland, Maine, Secreta<1 ry of the Treasury John Sherman delivered a great speech on the financial question of the country, and sounds the lcey note of the Republican campaign of ttvSO. it <m able document and should be road by every American citizen. Believing this, we hope to present it to our readers at some future day. The Abbeville Pre*s and Banner enters a protest against writers filling their articles with references to chapters, verm* and books in the Bible, and Insists that hereafter they must supply the full quotation, or their articles will be rejected, as it will not bore the rcades to hunt out the references. This Is a sensible Idea, and If applicable to secular newspapers, where Biblical quotations are none too frequent, how much more pertinent to the case of h religious Journal t?Baptist Courier. Teachers* Institute. j The Abbeville Tcachers' Institute \vi 11 j | hold its first annual Convention in the ^ j Court House to-morrow jmd Friday, ">!st j i July and 1st August. The public arc j cordially invited to attend, and as all are; ) interested in education, all should attend, jlf we mistake not, one of the main purposes of the Institute is to stir up .public interest in educational matters and to creato a sound and wholesome i public opinion on the sul>icct of schools ! and schoolmasters. The subjects to be I discussed and the distinguished educatj oVsvhosen to deliver the addresses arcjr sufficient to convince any one that it will j" I be worth his while to attend the meet- fings. } It is especially hoped that tho ladies H will turn out in large numbers; not sim- t! plv the teachers, but the mothers and }' 11 sisters of the school-children, and the school-children themselves. A paper isjjj to be read by an accomplished lady, ajil member ol' the Institute, and we are sure ? that Abbeville town and county will a give the fair essayist a1 llattering rcceptioin '! ' .

The rain did not come a day too soon for Ab- 0 boville county. Tho long-continued ^ drought and burning heat had made the prospect of a good crop by no means promising. The fields presented the <1 cheerless spectacle of twisted and wilted , corn, and dwarfed ''bumble bee'' cotton, j lj In somo sections, upland corn was made > an entire failure and great fears ivere en- J tortained that even the bottoms would produce but a scant supply. Cotton, j which stands heat and drought better |i than corn, gave the farmer more cneour- [j agemcnt, but he could not look for more than a fourth of a crop unless rain would ^ come speedily. When he recollected that what tho drought might leave the c liens would devour, the prospect for the ^ farmer was gloomy enough. ?, Here and there in the county local ^ showors fell day after day and made glad <1 I the hearts of those who, whether just or j' unjust, haw the blessed rain failing on J* theirtields. But no widespread and gen- j eral rainfall came until last Sunday. Wo have heard reports from all cornor.s of -1' Abbeville county, and we are glad to learn that hardly an acre escaped tlio soaking rain that fell on Sunday afternoon. All over the county the rain fell heavily and steadily, iti some places for several hours. And it fell so gently that nearly all of it was "saved" and very littie ran off to swell the rivers and creeks, w The rare and pleasant sight was seen <>f ,i water standing in the furrows, the barren j'( land was full of springs, the thirsty land u became pools of water. J While the rain will not quite recom- t( ponse for the losses caused by the long J,' drought, still a great improvement In the i> yield of our fields may be counted in. " Tho cotton cron will amount to a two- l? thirds crop in most eases mid the corn J] will not full below one-half the average. ^ This added to the bounteous harvest of v wheat and oats which was all safely gar- JJ nered will do much to prevent this year ti from being remembered as a year of 2 scarcity. ? Geo. TV. "Williams. " We notice that some of our exchanges j' seem to censure Mr. Williams severely n for his action in reference to Mr. Mimic's speculations in cotton futures. General- ii ly the country papers say of interesting events about homo, "as the matter will " f, uudergo judicial inveetigation, we will c withhold further remarks." Mr. Wil- * llams action is undergoing judicial inves- J,. tigation. We know nothing of tho mer- ^ its of tho ease in question, but whether j< Mr. Williams deservedly loses his estate j >' ii or not, we are sorry for the fact. We ? have known of him and his >ucccsse s, I " all our life, though we have no personal v acquaintance with him, and have become j, interested in him as we would do in the ? hero of a story. For this season, if for no s" other we regret any misfortune that may befall a man of his enerirv and pluck, n Being actively engaged in a succcssfifl * business for a long time, it is a matter of I li regret ratlier than of censure, that an old | jj man, who has always been so successful j?! heretofore should now fall into the hands of the Philistines. Therearo two sides:" to every question. If those who criticisel / Mr. Williams so freely, were placed in j I' his position, we doubt if one-tenth of j d them would havo acted dillerently from I Jj Mr. Williams' course. j o General Andersen. J The Kershaw Gazette refutes the cliargoj that South Carolina neglected Lieutenant | General Anderson, a gallant ollieer of the i Confederate army, and explains very sat-1 isfactorily how ho was not in oflice before ! Governor Simpson made him Inspector j: of phosphates. We have no doubt our-1 selves that he might well have had a bet-1 tor place before Governor Simpson's ap-! I>ointment, but no true soldier has a riglit j 10 complain, wenerai Auuerson wo Know j would not have admitted that lie was nr1 ? i lected when thousands of as gallant and ' as brave meu have gone to work, with- j out the hope of lee or reward, except that t to which their services would entitle j tliern. South Carolina has so many noble and bravo soldiers that it would j bankrupt the country to pension all ofj them with fat oflices. I There is no doubt that the soldiers I should fill tho offices of the government, i They risked all and the people should sec to it that our soldiers do lill all the offices. We are in favor of giving every office to those who fought for us, but there are j more soldiers than offices. Those who lare left out should not complain, though 1 they be as true soldiers as those more fa I vmvrl. 1 Mr. and Mrs. Gijaydon. ? Mr. and Mis. Kills G. Graydon, or Abbeville, are on a visit to l)r. D. (J. Tompkins, at Meeting Street. Mrs. Gruydon is our handsome and much be-1 loved young countrywoman who was until lately Miss LalJu 'i'ompkins. ,And from Meet-1 Ing Street they have come down to greet and i be greeted by their many warm friends in our j village. We say they, because Mrs. Gray don's j friends are already Mr. Graydon's friends. Mr. Graydon is the law partner of the Hon. Armistoud Burt, and a gentleman who ranks I with the most gifted and most promising of Abbeville's younger svaa.?J?dffrj\ctd Auvvr- j (tier. s Plie Fever Xot Epidemic !"?!

Tho Pi-ess and Jlanner also idcinns the action of the lynchers. It Is loubtedly right In condemning lynch law. arc as much opposed to It as anybody, on leral principles; it sets a bad precedent, in the ease of Moore we are inclined to uk that his speedy punishment will have Inlluenee towards preventing the rcpetll of such crimes ns Moore was unllty of t will more than counterbalance the "danons precedent." he Press and P.anner makes two very serlclmrges against the country press In lis lorial on tills subject. In speaking of the irleston Xctos and Cmiri-r it says: "If anyng it leaned to the lynchers, and its corresinent's account was very commendatory, is we regret, for the News and Courier has a nerous following of country papers whose nIons are shaped after their Charleston del." Very complimentary to thecountry icrs, indeed. Hut this Is not the worst ,rge. It speaks of those papers that n)tinned the lynching as "speaking out their id tlrmly and fearlessly," and of the otlias having been "muzzled by timidity or itaken policy." In our experience with itli Carolina editors we have found notlito Justify such language. Homo of them not very brilliant nor very learned, .but, far as we have seen, they are honest In ir opinions and fearless in expressing m. Most of t hem get a great deal of their vs from the Xiws and Courier, by large odds best nries paper in the State; but that is a y different thing from forming their oplns after that, model. A newspaper that us Its opinion after a model, however cxent deserves unmitigated contempt. We :>w of no such In South Carolina. The xs and Itanner must know of such, or it nld not have made such a charge. ut what was there In the Moore lynching t would deter any paper from speaking out rnlnd? Suppose an editor disapproved of lynching, couldn't he say so with perfect (unity? What was there to be afraid of? hrashing? I'ubllc opinion? Such consldtions might have moved the Spartanburg tors if the\*had been men subject to such uciiecs, which they are not; but could e had no Influence on those far removed n llie locality of the deed. " we chose we might take the Press and liner's argument and prove thnt the lynchwas perfectly' Justltlable. If the public at :e approved the act who shall say aught* Inst it? "1'ut hanging a man without a tl trial is murder." Who made It so? The ' of Nature did not.

Ilic Particulars of the Tragedy?The ^ Work of the Mormon Elders-Prose- tit lytcs all Through the Rural DIs- ?{j tricts?The Pretty Picture of Pasto- Jjj ral Peace. su About 10 o'clock, on the 21st Instant, there at occurred near Ringgold, Ga., a homicide which Is deeply regretted by the community. The victim wns Joseph Standing, a Mormon dl preacher and elder. About one week ago h Standing and two other Mormons came to 1., Catoosa County, and went about proclaiming . their doctrines and trying to work up a colo- nu ?y to partake of the wldo freedom and matrl- fr1 monlal liberty which prevail In Utah. The fll men went down Into Whitfield County, and 0i tried there to arouse an interest In their rellglon. They met with cold comfort all around ch there, and were about giving up thelrproject o( xuhAn thn fhfjil jiffiilr took otl one or them. ,i. The Tact that these men were proclaiming the doctrine of Mormoiilsm boldly put the men very much against thein, and It watt pro* m posed more than once to take them out, and after giving them a healthy lesson to warn them not to linger in that delightful atmosphere. On the '21st standing and one ot his companies were going along tbMroad, when c? they were met by a dozen men. They stopped tl the Mormons and told them they wanted to whip them on the spot. The Mormons tried 01 to argue the point, and in the consultation ci one of the party of regulators laid down his tl< pistol. Quick as thought Standing leaped forward and seized the weapon. Cocking Pi it lie turne<l toward the party and demanded ir that every man surrender. Just ns he said 01 this one of the party tired. The ball entered tj Standing's temple and he fell dead in the road. His companion was not touched. Standing's remains were carried to Itlnggold pi and given in charge of ills Mormon brother, ei who will carry them out to Salt Lake City to la be buried. The other Mormons will leave at rn once. The Governor has been telegraphed to s< about tne matter. ei 'Jfte Atlanta Contlitution, alluding to tbls af- p fair, says: ui The dispatch^ that was published ycstcttJay R relative to the Killing ot me iiiormon ciuit who was engaged In an attempt to get np a colony for Salt Lake City ha# a history back _ of It. For several years the section ofcoun- Jr. try adjacent to where this killing wns done n has been Infected with Mormon apostles that lave spread their infamousdoctrlnerlghtand b( left. About two years ngo two of these priests or elders came Into Floyd County and E spent somo time about Floyd Bprlntrs and In lower Chattooga. They we.ro audacious and ft aggressive, and Invaded household - after ? household for the purpose of preaching their w polygamic creed. They made many converts ? ana, it Is said, carried away a colony of lif- tl teen or twenty persons, many of them repu- e table and well-to-do people. One mnn that t we happen to know or made np his mind to bo, and determined to sell his farm. Ills wife li declared that she would go with him. They n offered the place at $1,000 when it was clearly h worth $2,500, and sold, wo believe, at even greater sacrifice than this. It appears thata n sort of headquarters for these travelling el- ff dors is established on or near Lookout Moun- a tain. Hero they have a sort of settlement, p from whence the elder* issue for their trumps a through the rural districts, to which nil the convert", male and female, are sent until a crowd of twenty or thtrty Is collected, when * they arc sent on to Salt Lake City. It Is said that several squads, amounting to several i hundred In all, have been drained from the a Tennessee and North Georgia and Carolina ? | country within the past six or eight years. Of P I course the greatest Indignation has been I felt by the country people at the work of I I these men. During, plausible ana iuii 01 > argumentawl persuasion, they undermined F the most stable characters and carried grief v land consternation into many n household. A I sturdyN farmer once said to us: "I would I shoot a man lor talking polygamy to my wife s ordaughtor!" This feeling has been shared b by many, and It is really a wonder that there has not been trouble before. The arguments used by these apostles of Hrigham have not. I been, as might be supposed, on the lino of I sensuality or lust. Tney have rather been i pleased to talk about the fertile valleys of i Utah, the lavish frnltsand the luxurious crops i the tine city of SaltDake, In which every Mor- i mon had part ownership?in short, the pretty pastoral life wherein the richest valley of earth, with little work and a peaceful and contented life, was offered to all coiners. This i picture won the fancy of many a poor farmer t who had scratched for years in the scanty r soil of our hills at. home, and could hardly ( keep body and soul together, and of many a t woman, young and old. There hnve been a many threats made against these itinerants, ( which they have not tried to turn away by 'j soft answers. Inspired by a sort of fanatl- ( clsin, they have been without, personal fear, ( and have been carelcss of threats or assault, c When they once set themselves on a possible convert, nothing could turn them to one side r until they hud exhausted all persuasion or f had made a full capture. 1 Xtmu^noS be understood, however, that ( we liavWeclted the above for the purpose of t excusing the killing of Htijndlng in Catoosa ^ County the other day. That killing seems to t have been almost without excuse. The mob of ten or twelve men had no right to halt these men for the purpose of whipping them, and It will be hard to make it appear that there was any real need of killing one man who had snatched up a nlstol and "demanded the surrender'* of twelve or fifteen armed men. He could have been disarmed without being shot through the head. The killing was done outside the law. and should bo punished. Governor Colquitt received ? dispatch from a gentleman at Catoosa Springs yesterday announcing that the killing was "a cold-blooded murder," and asking that a reward be olfcred for the perpetrator*. It Is said that the names of thecrowd who halted the Mormons can be i easily obtained. The Governor has not yet I received full enough particulars to Justify him in taking action In this matter, but he I will probably offer a reward as soon ns begets accurate Information as to the nature of the j killing, tho locality, Ao? We understand that j the remains of the dead elder left yesterday for Salt Lake City. It is also said that there wpri> several converts, or almost converts, to tiie polygamic faith when the shooting took place,, and the spell of the argument wax broken. \ Death From a Runaway Hok.sk. ? a manViamed Brown was thrown from a buggy whilst returning from Greenville, near Handy Flat post office, in this comity, on Saturday | last, and r< eelved such Injuries as to cause his death next day.
