Colombia, February 19^-An employee of the dispensary in 1900 stole one pint of "XX" or "XXX" rye whiskey, and to ease his troubled conscience, which hasn't let him rest since the deed was committed, he wrote a letter to Gov. Blease confessing his sin, and enclosed a $1 bill as a contribution to the 'conscience fund" for the pint of liquor which he filched from the State. The Governor returned the money to the man, telling him that he hoped his sin had been forgiven, and that he should put the dollar to some good purpose. The letter come from Greenville, the man being an employee of a cotton mill. Leaving out the name, the letter is as follows: . "In the year 1900 I was employed by the State, working in the dispensary. While I was working there I stole one pint of rye whiskey. I was out in sin, bat the dear Lord has forgiven me for it. I want to make it right with the ; State, and I feel like you are the one to confess it to. May the Lord .bless . yon. I will send yon $1 to pay for it. I am a poor man, working at the cot* ton mill for a living. I have a wife and five ohildreu. I am poor, bntl am rich. I am willing to suffer anything on earth for my Savior. I j>ray God's riohost blessinsr noon von. HoDing to hear from yon soon." The Governor, returning the one dollar to the man, replied as follows. "Your letter of February 15 received. I have forgiven you your sin, and hope God has also forgiven you. If He has not. He will. I return herewith the dollar which you enclosed; put it to some good purpose." Some of the liquor houses in recent years have made contributions to the "conscience fund" of the former dispensary on account of over-charges to the State, but this is the first known contribution from an humble employee, who simply took a pint of liquor. With Henderson-Suydam. Mr. Wm.M. Swartz, who has been with the hardware firm of Lemon Bro9., Barnwell, for the past two years has resigned to accept a similar position with the well known firm of * Henderson-Snydam, in Columbia, and began upon his duties Monday. Mr. Swartz will be glad for his Lexington friends to call to see him wnile in the city. 1892 t/t f 5 pet cent intete^t paid an Aadi pufed <Scnu-annua ffjj. ?Depaiife tommetciaf accauntd ak (Jmpfe pxcifiticS |ar fiandfincj i Wiff ?e appreciated.

Teachers Met Saturday., The regular monthly meeting of the Teachers' Association of Lexington County was held here Saturday. The feature of the session was the able and timely address of Dr. S. 0. Mitchell, of Columbia, president of the University of South Carolina. Dr. Mitchell chose for his subject "Civic Patriotism," and he held the rapt attention of his hearers from beginning to end.
