During the last two weeks our farmers have worked with great enemy, and as a rule the crops are now in good condition. The warm nights of last week has been quite favorable to the cotton crop. The seasons have been favorablo to tlie growth of giass, and those of our farmers who have provided themselves with pasture fences, will find their stock to be unusually profitable tuis year. The fact is that the converts to the profitableness of pastures increases witli each succeeding year, and it is fair to presume that it will not be many years until a large part of the lands of many farms will be surrendered to the pasturage of stock. Experience has convinced many farmers that low lands are more profitable as pastures than for cultivation. The ConelnsMion of I he Whole .11 alter. We give much of our space this week to the dlscutsion of matters pertaining to the report of the grand jury. All sides have now had a hearing, It seems to us that enough lias been said. After it was started we have not heretofore known exactly where to draw the line, but we think it we can draw it now, and do so without expressing any feeling In the matter. Unless the olttcers choose to write more, let it stop. Primary Election for Solicitor. The Judicial Convention at Seneca last week adopted the primary plan of choosing Candidates for tins Judicial District. The election is to take place in August. The majority plan is to govern, and if no candidate receives a majority of nil the votes then the two candidates receiving the highest number of votes will ruu the race a Becond time. The primary plan of elections seems to be gaining grounds, and we believe wherever adopted, has given satisfaction to the people. ? Badly Hurt. Last Saturday as Master William Latimer Bon of J. II. Latimer who lives some eight miles in the country, was playing, he fell out of one of the windows of the house, striking the rocks some eight feet below, cutting his head and exposing a considerable portion of lhe skull.

"Well, father, I will," said Amos. After awhile Amos came to his father, and said, "I have used all the nails; the keg is empty." His father went to the spot and found the post black with nails. "Amos," said he, "havo you done something wrong for each of these nails. "Yes, sir," said the boy.

After sometime the boy came to his father and said, "Come, father, see the keg again. I have pulled out a nail for every good act, and now the keg is full agaiu."

She asked (about his mother, and inquired if she raised a good deal of poultry this year. The young man scratched his head in perplexity and then replied: "No-nno, ma'm. She planted a good deal but the chickens scratched it all up." ,?Harlwcll Sun. I m -Mrr^r, itr rCOLUMBIA & GREENVILLE DIV. CONDENSED SCHEDULE. is EPrECT june 24, 1888.

V Extracts from Christian Neighbor A Troublesome Inheritance. Prominent among other evils following the war the people of the United States have had entailed upon them a troublesome inheritance?the "pistol." As the years, since the war, pass by, the trouble has not diminished, but rather increased. This hip-pocket representative of deadly weapons is generally invisible until wanted, then it is at hand and is as obedient to the will of its owner in the "time of peace" as it was in tne ume 01 war?just uo ready to kiil uow as then. Along with this inheritance is another, viz : Hearts and hands to have and to use the pistol in killing men uow as then, the difference being that now a man shoots another at his own instance, whereas in the war he shot men in obedience to the command of another?the pistol passive in either I case. But for the kill in the heart and by the hand the pistol would be hurtless ?can not say without temptation, for the possession and bare sight of the weapon may suggest to the "carnal" in a man the thought of just handling it, putting it in his pocket and simply taking it along, sayiug to oneself, "I don't know but what somebody might attack me and try to kill me, at all events it will do no harm to be prepared." So another man thiuks and acts, and another, and so on until in an average community possibly every fourth or fifth man?If not second or third man?has a loaded pistol in his pocket when he goes out from home to a gathering. What can be done to divorce the pis tol from the pockets and persons of men? The power and persuasion of the civil law and of the gospel of peace haye failed to effect to any marked degree (if any at all) a reformation. There is little to be hoped for in "creating a healthy public opinion" as long as the pulpits, presses and schools of the country and church people maintain their past and, with some exceptions, their present silence, ambiguity or inconsistency (?hardly know how to define the position?) the relation of war with all its incipiences to the reliirion of "Deace on earth and jjood will [toward men." Let the supporting friends of Arbitration, Peace Societies, and all Christian endeavors for peace tbank the very God of peace for what has been achieved in the interests of His Kingdom whose servants do not fight, and take courage. There are many men who from Christian principle utterly abjure the pistol, and many other non-professing men of like mind and conduct who go in and out in a community that may be promiscuously disgraced and endangered by a class of men moving about with deadly weapons in their pockets, and, it may be said with hairtrigger murder contingent iu their hearts. * Persons who have neither sufficient religion nor courage to go unarmed should either carry their weapons visible toothers or keep themselves from among less dangerous citizens, and. in the meantime prayerfully read the Christian Scriptures. Dedication. The new Lutheran church?St. Paul's?on tne corner 01 jbuu anu Blinding Streets, Columbia, E. A. Wingard, Pastor, was formally dedicated last Sabbath. The ceremony of formal dedication, by Rev. G. W. Holland, D. D., President of Newberry College, was appropriate and impressive. The sermon by Rev. A. G. Voigt, Professor in Newberry College, was both doctrinal and experimentalsound in both. The buildiug is handsome, well arranged for religious services, and was filled with interested worshippers. We saw but one vacant seat, though there may have been a few more. In a semi-circle over the pulpit were these words? Glory to Qod in the Highest. On reading the inscription we silently prayed that all sermons that may be preached in that pulpit may accord with that inscription and also with the remaining words of the angels' song?and on earth pcp.cc, (jood vnll toward men. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost ever be with the worshippers in that housev Colombia Female College Honors? Diplomas?Eclectic*.

Patrick Collins in the recent St. LouisConvention, The honest payment of our debta and the 2>rcscrvation of our public faith. Now let the builders and guardians of that platform see to it that no can didates for any office be permitted to stand or even step upon it who does not or has not paid all his honest debts. This may relieve the structure of considerable weight. Let the platform be of sound planks and clean withal. Let none but honest men have a standing on any of the 16 planks. F. W.
