St Stephen Without a Pastor.
The resignation of Rev. T. S. Brown,
as pastor of St. Stephen Lutheran
church has been reluctantly accepted
by the officers of the church and
preached his farewell sermon to a
large and intensely sorrowing congregation
last Lord's Day. Rev. Mr.
Br^wn has been the beloved pastor of
this church for the past four years
and during this time he has won a
warm place in the affections of his
congregation for his Christian zeal in
all branches of church work. Rey.
Mr. Brown has entered, upon an enlarged
field of Christian endeavor and
usefulness at Burlington, N. C., and be
and his estimable family carry with
them, to their new home, the love, the
confidence and the respect of the entire
community. At the conclusion
of the night services, Mr. Heber
Barre, in behalf of the congregation,
presented Mr. Brown with a beautiful
Loving Cup, in a few appropriate and
touching remarks which was accepted
by Mr. Brown as a highly prized gift
of a large congregation.
For the present at least the St
Stephen charge will be without a
pastor as no steps have as yet been
taken looking to the calling't>f one.
We are informed, however, that there
will be preaching there every Sunday
evening by the Rev. P. D. Ri9inger.

The stock of goods of R. L. Lybrand
& Co., was sold at Swansea last
Monday to B. R. Cooner, of Columbia

Lybrand made several fair propositions
to his creditors in order to protect
his'debtors which were refused
and before injuring those who were indebted
to him he surrender his keys.

Teachers' Association.
The next meeting of the Lexington
County Teachers' Association will be
Held in the school auditorium at Batesburg
on March 22nd. Our information
is that efforts are being made by
the Batesburgers to make this meeting
one of unusual interest and profit
to those teachers who attend. It is
probable that Dr. Evans cultured
and accomplished educator of Augusta,
will be present and his address will
be one of the leading features of the oc
casion. Besides tbin address tnere will
be other attractions which will be of
especial interest to those who are mak- i
ing teaching a profession and have '
adopted it as their life's work, as well j
as to the public at large. Hence, it is j
earnestly desired by those who have
the arrangements of the meeting in
hand to have as many of the teachers
of the county present as can possibly
attend, and we are assured that nothing
will be left undone which will add
to the pleasure of the occasion.

Shooting at Cayce.
- There was two shooting scrapes in
the little town of Cayce last week,
both being the result of too much
booze, it is said. The first shooting
affair was between John Geiger and
Oallie Mandy on the one side and
Wade Gowerson the other, all colored,
in which Gowers received the entire
load of a shot gun in his body. The
wound is dangerous, but not necessarily
fatal.
The other shooting occurred on the I

Columbia, a weave room operator in
the Palmetto mill, shot a negro whose
name could not be learned. The
negro is not much hurt. Self defense
is claimed.
The three men were arrested by
Ex-Sheriff P. H. Corley and Mr. Kibler,
the State Chief Constable, and lodged
in the Lexington jail, Sheriff Miller
being absent from home that day on
another mission.
Old Field School Closing.
The entertainment given at the close
of the Old Field School near Leesville
was one of the best that has ever been
given in that section of the county.
The exercises began at ten o'clock in
the morning and lasted the greater
portion of the day. About seven hundred
people were present. The people
of the community gave a large picnic
dinner which added greatly to the
pleasure of the ocassion. The school
was under the supervision of Prof. R.
E. 8healy, who is one of the best
teachers of this county and the entertainment
was a great success. The
people of this district are taking a
great interest in their school and are
determined to give their boys and girls
a chance to prepare themselves for life.
They are comtemplating making their
school a greater success in the near
future and we wish them God speed
in their work.

Obituary.
Oscar Harvard, son of T W Long
and wife departed this life Feb 28,
aged 12 years and 25 days. In early
life he was given to the Lord iu Holy
Baptism. Nor was the grace of God
bestowed in vain. His last words to
his pastor were that he looked to the
Lord for help. Let us be comforted
I over his sad death, and may the good
Lord heal his parents' sorrow in the
loss of two children in so short a time.
May they realize that in God's own
, time these children shall be theirs
) again in the great family above where
there is no more death nor sorrow, nor
parting nor tears but eternal joy.

No Extra School Tax.
The three special elections for the
leying of a special school tax were
overwhelmingly defeated in an election
held last week. The schoosl affected
are Round Hill, Midway and St.
Matthews. It appears from the result
of these elections that there has been
a change in the educational sentiment
of the county, a9 heretofore the re|
suits of these special elections have
invariably been in favor of the extra
j levy.
