Van Wyek section has l>een visited I?y line rains and woe Ite lone e\p: cssions on some of our farmers' faces have given way to smiles as l>road as those on the face ol the man in the full moon. Housekeepers have been com plaining of the scarcity of vegetables and fruits. The tine rains n.a\ malic late vegetables more plentiful and allay their comp'aints in part and good turnip patches and pork complete the song. Miss Lena Heath of Charlotte is visiting Mrs Dr Niabet and family. The contractor and crew of carpenters are at work on a live room cottage for the section master, ' ii section No. 3, at Van \Y}ck. This building will help tbo appearance of the station very much. ])r .1 Douglas Nisliet returned to New York last Monday. Miss Sadie McCardel of Lancaster who has been visiting the Nisbets returned to Lancaster last W ednesday. Miss Sugar Tillman and Mrs Sue Dates made a quick trip to Lancaster Wednesday.

J M Voder ha* been contiued i I to his room several days, nursinir and meditating over a severe at tack of rheumatism. The trustees of Van Wyck school employed Rev R E Mood for teacher. He began teaching Monday, hut lias discontinued for the present. We have an advanced educator on the board of trustees who has not himself had the linest opportunities for an education and thinks the plan and theories of schools should be changed. He has drafted a set of rules and regulations to govern the teachers, pupils and patrons. The Rev Mr Mood after reading those and reflecting on them, was nol willing to subscribe to them, and imformed the trustees they could employ another teacher. These rules will tie copy-righted before other schools can use them. OlTIMUS. Meeting of the State Alliance.

It dealt with the business features of the order, urging members to keep up interest in the organization and urging reduction of acreage as cine way of improving the price of cotton. The hulk of tie proceedings appears to have been devoted to a discussion of the State Alliance exchange, with the result that the exchange's business will be continued on the basis as heretofore, although Congressman Stokes and Mr Keitt had considerable to say on the other side.

Last night a church at Fvnjua prairie was burned by an incendiary. Suspicion fell oil .John and Randall Hamilton, negroes. The hitter was first found and, with a rope around his neck, confessed that dohn burned the ohu'vli. John was found al his home, and his answer to a demand for surrender was a volley of buckshot, Van Wright being fatally wounded and Tuck Moody slightly injured. 1 lie negro escaped badly wounded, but was r< captured at noon and at once strung up. No further trouble is expected. Revenge for a former lynching, it is thought, was the motive of the incendiaries. Tied to a Tree and Shot to Death. llattiesburg, Miss., July 25.?
