celebrated and a largo number of
communicants rtcdved Ihe elements
typical of Ihe blood and body of our
Led Jesus C irist. The church, as
ic iicnal dprmrninfttion on
similar occasion?, was tastefully and
beautifuliy decorated in commemoration
of the death of the son of man,
the resurrection of the son of God?
the one who died for the sins of the
woild and the ether who was gloiioualy
raised from the dead to draw
all men to God by virtue of the great
sacrifice ho had made one person in
whom man and God were harmoniously
bi ended
Rev. J. G. Graiohen, the beloved
and able pastor of St. Stephen'?,
preached a remakable strong and
eloquent sermon on ';Phe Resurrection,"
from Philippiaus 3: x. Those
who were so fortunate as to hear
this sermon are unanimous in the
opinion that it was the finest sermon
in thought, diction and eloquence
that has been heard in this place for
many a year.
Five applicants lor continuation,

Ths Mcnster Grasshopper.
According to Mr. Jake Suelgrove,
Mr. Charles Lewis had his first ex
perience with a "grasshopper" od
Tuesday of last week. Mr. Charles
Lewis bravely entered the field of
Mr. J<ike Snelgrove on the morning
of that day, laid violent hands on a
"grasshopper" and'ran it around the
field until 10 o'clock. Some time the
hopper would be on one side of the
row and Chailes on the other, and
vice vers8; then the hopper would
be in the air and Charles on tk
ground. Soon the positions would
be changed and Charles would be iD
the air and the hopper on the ground
After awhile, according to Jake,
Charles had the monster down and
bad him on bis back whaling Lim ap
if his arm was propelled by his
3anianic majesty. They then arcse
and the bewildered and mystified
CbaiLs ren him until 12 o'clock.
Take says he thought Ckailes would
be very much broken down, but be
;ame up as lively as a cricket and as
gaily as a lark, at the sound of the
dinner horn.

S:ate Constables Make Successful
and Impoitant Raids.
To the Editor of tbe Dispatch:
Becent reports from this vicini'y
of violations of the dispensary hw
have resulted in action being taken
by the State Constabulary. Acting
under orders from Chief Constable
Bahr, Constable G. Just Brown
came here about a week ago and obtained
information against several
parties running blockade distilleries,
and on the 31st ult, James Crocker,
Joseph Lightfoot, F. B. Berry and
J. D. Allsbrook, all members of the
State Constabulary, came over from
Orangeburg under orders to do some
reid ng.
They obtained search wairants
and arrest warrants against several
parties from Magistrate Jtfooat, ani
with the assistance cf his constable,
W. L K Johnson, made things
lively for the law breakers yesterday.
The first search made was of the
premises of Frank Mooter, a few
miles east of town, and resulted in
ilia capture of one copper bottom
still kettle and three still furnaces
that had recently been used. These
were all found in the head of Huckabaa's
swamp and on lands of Frank
Moorer.
The raiding party then went to
the residence of Columbus and Arnold
Sturkie, who live near by, and
made a search of the premises, but
nothing was found.
From there they went to David
Moorer's premises. This man was
reported as being a blockader, and in
a short time after the arrival the
officers began to find evidences of it.
"When the search was completed they
had found a freshly used still furDace
within one hundred yards of
j MooreFs dwelling and only a few
steps from the back of his barn. At
j I lie furnace were three barrels whidi
bid recently eontai; el rnaeh or beer,
in faei had j ist been emptied into
the t>;iiurii. Further down the
branch a t till had been found which
had not been used iu some-time, but
the Ln?iu kettle could not be located
In about fifty yards of Mooier's
dwelling, in a plum orchard und iu
an outhoufcc only a few steps from
his dwelling, eight other ma.sh or
beer bajrehs were found. Mr.
Moorer protested that he was innocent
and ignorant of the whole thing
and that he could prove :i good reputuion
for iruth and veracity.

out on the wept side of the Florida
CeLtral and Peninsular raihoad to
call on Joel I Harsey, who is said to
have some notoriety as a moonshinfr
hereabouts. Mr. Harsey has been
visited by officers before, and was
not at the house when the men called,
and they began to look around the
premises. Two of them soon struck
trail down a creek near by and found
Mr. Harsey and sou busy at work.
They were running a copper kettle
on the creek about two hundred yards
from the house distilling some ''bug
juice" for Easter. When they saw
the officers coining they made their
escape, but were forced to leave the
demijohn and wash tub containing
the whisky. Mr. Horsey succeeded
in carrying with him the "still worm"
notwithstanding it was hot and 5d
use as the officers came up.
When the party returned to towD
with the still tied behind a buggy,
citizens on the street greeted them
with cheers. They have done some
good work and have the sympathy of
the Christian people of this community.

proportion. We must have pay or
