Give Your Water, As the days get warmer the dogs become more and more liable to the distemper ?nd then to going mad. There is the greatest uanger attached to the dogs that are kept in the yards all day.

The Seventeenth Annual Session of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the South Carolina Conterence. convened in the city of Abbeville, S. C., July 1st and adjourned July 6th. The session wa? presided over by the President Mrs. M. D. Wightman. The ease, elegance and dignity displayed by her Jn the management of the Conference called torth the admiration of the entire community. Her assistant officers seem exactly suited to their several positions and give beautiful harmony to the entire proceedings. The Conference as a body impresses the lookeron that a band of competent, consecrated women are at work with a detlnite aim to bless and help the worUi. For six (lays, theSe lovely mothers and daughters enlivened our homes, and edlfled our people. Mrs. Josephine Campbell, Miss Johnnie Sanders and Professor Bonnell delighted the audiences from time to time with interesting facts, and Im; portant data from the foreign fields, and training school. Miss Annie Maria Karnes, Editress of the "Little Worker" attended the Conference, aud in several instructive address, gave valu< able information as to the success ot the workers In the various fields, especially in the Indian and Mexican missions. Miss Johnnie Sanders leaves this Conference to enter upon her work in China.

How passing strange that any one can be found in tblft-christian land bo blind to the evident leadings of Providence, as to oppose thlR'Chrlst-like work of giving to others the [ glorious advantages which we have received of light and life, and heaven.

After beautiful ruins our town and counuy is wonderfully revived. Kvery ono smiles and seems contented. Old Cambridge is lairly blooming and the huge cotton stalks and the ponderous corn stalks are growing under the weight uud burden of a bountiful supply of Iruit. Maj. (ialphin is h typical farmer and tiio .David Dickson of our township, and, too, -Mr. Editor, he is no candidate, only a plain farmer, "pure and simple," ever striving to make two blades of grass grow where formerly only one stood. We have other good farmers, too, prosperous farmers, but we will not name them now. The llou. J. \V. Bowden, of Anderson, and a candidate for Congress, was down last week a few days, looking over the fields generally. Our people were pleased with him.

Mrs. Corrie M. Richardson lias moved back to Nli.ety-Six, and her friends are right glad that she concluded to do so. The beginning of the school year has been changed to the 1st ol July, but it will not effect those teachers who nave not completed their terms for 18U.V9G. Capt.

They might engage in more unprotltable loss-time. Col. A. C. Latimer Is a candidate for re-election. Mr. Latimer has made a good Congressman. We have watched his career and can safely say he has done his part well, anu of course is now better equipped for service than most men, more especially new men without experience. As far as we have heard he gives satisfaction in this community. When General Gordou kissed Mrs. Jefferson Davis the other day at Richmond all the old Confederates smilea smiles of approvul, but when Corporal Tanner told the General that If he had the votes he would make him president, they lairly went crazy. Miss Archie Ho/., man leaves this week to visit friends in Georgia. NVe hojie she will have a pleasant trip. Jt Is reported that Judge T. P. Itook, who managers Col. 1). H. Tompkins line (arm in Edgefield, has the 11 nest crops of corn and cotton lu that county. In fact we know they are very flue, but can't quite come up to some of our Cambridge crops. It Is also reported that the Judge will soon take unto himself a wife. The turkeys are bought and lite fatted calf is ready for the sliambler. liravo.

These famous springs have quite a boast at Ninety-Six. On the recent trip to Richmond Col. W7G. Rice was captured by a Georgia command, and, too, without the tiring of a gun. Camp J.

East End. m | a GREENWOOD ITEMS. Old Veteraus? Distinguished Soldiers ?Fi res?Preachers?Mi I Is. Greenwood, S. C.. July 6,1890. The old Confederate Veterans have returned home with glowing accounts of their trip to Richmond. It does my heart good to listen to ibem. It seems, for fun aud enjoyment, that uncle Bill McKinnle was the hero of the occasion. He says that words fall to express the grand and magnificent style of Richmond's entertainment. He says the ladles of lllcninonu were giau 10 nee uieoi?lumcreni drops of tears trickled down their cheeks as they shook hands with them and spoke of the old wartimes. If I were to write all 1 have heard dllferent ones say ot their trip, It would fill a page of the Press and Banner. I was not in the war. but would have enjoyed the trip with the old Veterans. (Jo). W. G. Rice, ol Saluda, belongs to Camp Aiken, and weut with them, lie enjoyed himself. I hear that a Georgia Regiment captured him und took him prisoner on the road. They parolled him next day. He Joined his command at Richmond. All say that General Hampton's reception was the grandest affair they have ever -witnessed. Oh, how I would like to have been present and see him ride at the head of the column of cavalry. I am glad they honored the grand old soldier and statesman. Generals Butler and Gordon were conspicuous persons at Richmond. Yesterday morning, Sunday, at fifteen minutes past four o'clock the lire bell gave the alarm of fire, arousing a large portion of our citizens from their slumbers at that early hour. Mr. McKlrinic, tne night watchman, discovered fire in the stove room of Mrs. Giles' mansion, now occupied by D.W..Jester. About one hundred or more soon gathered at the fire, but too late to save the cook room, but by quick and hard work, we kept the rlwelliug from burning. The house burn??rl wiiM nnlv IS 1.9 foot frnm tho hmmr*. The well lioutte being very near 1 lie tire soon caught, mid shut us oil' from water at that source. But getting water elsewhere we saved the house, with simply the rosin being badly drawn from the weatherboarding. Kev. J. E. Stack house-, or the Johnston circuit, filled the Methodist pulpit Sunday morning. Kev. Marion Dargan and wife are In Chester. Last Friday morning I think the hardest rain fell at Troy and Bradley that I have seen in a long time. Pitches and terraces were of little avail. Lightning struck and burned oue barn and stable at Bradley. I did not hear the extent of loss. I went over to the (Jrendel Mill Saturday and was pleased with the progress of the mill. This mill will be a large building. The walls they are building and the kiud of brick that are golning Into it will make a handsome structure. The walls are tremendously thick. The mill is .'{00 feet long by 100 leet wide. Part of the building will be four dories high, the other five. The tower will be seven stories lileh The smoke stack or chimney will be 1-10 feet high. The company wants about twenty brick masoiiB more than they have. The walls are smooth and beautiful. We rejoice with Abbeville that their mill Is going up. We know Just how they feel In this their fli-uf mill t r.ivnl l<.,l oli.nit till. same road about six or seven years ago. Success to you, Abbeville, you could have built It years ago if you would. A true saying Ik, "united we stand, divided we Jail." The brick being made for the (irendei mills, I ain told, will average three fourths hard brick. Good clay well made and burnt hard will make a substantial wall. The health or our town Is good and our peoi pie are in a good humor. M.S. (J. > Go to llruce's ice cream saloon and get youi Icecream.

Notwithstanding the numerous executions that have taken place here within the last few years,'pistol and knife are still freely used, especially by the colored part of our population. Last week Blult Thomas shot Henry Heard three times. The shooting occurred on the square, and Thomas was soon tha Kara HoarH It. la au 4 H 1b a hoH negro and the general opinion seems to be that be only received what he deserved. At tlrst he was supposed to be mortally wounded but at this time Is much Improved and will likely get well. Sunday night Ous Thomas proceeded to carve his better hal!J and from what one who saw hear saya, "very nearly , made an eDd to her." She Is terribly cut, , and the chances are about evenly divided as J to her death or recovery. Thomas was captured Monday morning by Policeman Fisher, and Is now in jail, awaiting the result of his bloody work. Domestic troubles and the unfaithfulness of bis wife was the motive that prompted the deed, so we hear. The railroad men were well pleased last week when the travel to Richmond necessitated running extra trains, giving extra work for them, which at this, the dull season,always Is most welcome.
