Asheville's Preachers, Mosqui toes, and Liquor. MR. EDITOR : Will ; ou please al low me space in yoar valuable pa per for a few lines. Abbeville is a very nice place, but it hasn't the attraction of Edgefield for me. I have met a great many friends up here and they all give a hearty welcome. Politics are very quiet up here. [ hear but very little of 'em now, but I guess next TueRday will set tle it all. The mosquitoes are more nu merous than any thing else in this town. I can't help speaking of the beautiful Baptist Church here, which I attended this morning. The Rev. Mr. Anderson, who is well known to some Edgefield people, preached one of the finest sermons to his congregation this morning that I ever heard in my life from the 5th chapter of Gel. and the 11th verse. The Abbeville dispensary must be doing something. One of the clerks told me yesterday that they made an average of $75 per day, but the negroes and some white people will, and still, get drunk the same. Crops are excellent and rains plentiful. We had a very fine rain last Friday night, and one last night, and tho prospect is good for one to-night. There is to be an excursion train run from here to Charleston next Saturday, and there is a good many around town speaking of going. T. S. H., Jr. Abbeville, Aug. 26.

The last of the four Newberry College re-unions arranged for the summer was held at St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church, near Etheredge, Edgefield county, S. C., "Wednesday, Aug. 22, 1894. This re-union was under the manage ment of Rev. Prof. W.K. Sligh, and was probablv the best of all the four meetings held. These re unions are held that the students and friends of Newberry College may meet together, and to awaken a more enthusiastic interest among the people for the cause of educa tion and especially for the support of Newberry College. In due time on the morning named, a large number of the friends of the college assembled iu the church and about ll o'clock the meeting was called to order by the general manager, Prof. Sligh. Devotional exercises were conduct ed by Rev. J. D. Bowles. After this the names of all the alumni, ex-students, and students present, were enrolled, numbering twenty-seven. The following is th* roll : Geo. S. Bearden, Carroll E. Black, Jacob H. Black, J. "W. Black, Dr. J. S. Black, W. E. Black, Rev. C. P. Boozer, Lindsey Boozer, Jas. A. Bowers, Rev. J. D. Bowles, M. G. Bowles, Geo. B. Cromer, Esq., S. W. Derrick, Robert L. Goff, J. Luther Kinard, 0. A. Matthews, H. A. McCullough, W. A. Oxner, J. Luther Oxner, C. J. Ramage, Y. V. A. Riser, H. D. Sease, Thompson Sease, T. W. Shealy, Rev. 0. B. Shearouse, Rev. Prof. W. K, Sligh, and D. C. Smith. An organization wai effected and officers elected as follows : Geo. S. Bearden, president; T. W. Shealy, vice-president; W. E.Black, sec retary. A fitting address of welcome was delivered by Y. V. A. Riser, follow ed by an appropriate response by Jas. A. Bowers. The programme which had b^en arranged was carried out in fuli, with the exception of one speaker, who was absent, (interspersed with melodious and refreshing music by the choir,) as follows : 1. Moral and Christian influ ences at Newberry College-Messrs W. E. Black and Geo. S. Bearden. 2. Literary Societies-T. W. Shealy. 3. Education--J. W. Black. 4. Farmers and Education-M. G. Bowles. 5. Does a college education pay? -Messrs H. A. McCullough and C. J. Ramage. 6. South Carolina pastors and Newberry College-Rev 0. B. Shearouse. 7. How to endow Newberry Col lege-Rev C. P. Boozer. 8. A Christian education-Geo. B. Cromer, Esq. All the speeches were very fine and entertaining. They were well prepared and were excellently de livered. We trust they were treas ured up in the minds of the au dience and will bring forth much fruit in the near future. The large and appreciative audience was pleasantly and profitably enter tained by the speakers who brought the advantages, both intellectual and moral, and naeds of Newberry College very vividly before their minds. The people were filled full of Newberry College and we sin cerely hope they will return the favor, and fill the college full with their sons. We feel sure they will do their part in thia noble work. Edgefield county is becoming part of the main support of Newberry College. Twelve of her noble sons were in college last session, and three of the nine graduates were from her borders. May she an nually increase her force there. She can very easily do so, for she has just as fine young men and as noble material to develop as any section affords. We appeal to the parents, as has often been done be fore, to send their boys to Newberry College, by all means, for you can rest assured that there they will notonly have their intellectual faculties developed, but also a good sound Christian character. On motion the organization re turned thanks to the good people of the community for their inter est in the meeting, for their kind and hospitable entertainment, and for the abundant supply of deli cious and palatable refreshments which were heartily relished by all near the meridian hour. It was resolved that the organi zation be made permanent, and that the officers make arrange ments for holding another meeting next summer some where in the - county. May we all look forward with fond expectations to that glorious gathering. SECRETARY. Car load of Old Hickory wagons, from a one-horse to a six-horse, just received by Ramsey & Bland.
