To tke Editor of the U nion-Rerald :
We request a place in your columns
that we may deny, in most solemn
oi-m, the false and infamous charge of
muer-brought out against us by the
men who confess under oath that they
did the bloody deed. The mnen who
have instigated those wretched crimi
mais to accuse us of having conspired
-with them in the cold-blooded assassi
nation, of Dr. Shell, in 1868, have
their own blood dyed red with the
blood of the innocent, whom they
-slew. for their political opinions.
Dr. Shell had never inflicted any
injury upon,us or upon any of our
kindred. We had no motive to seek
hiA life. Those who know us best
will admit, unless blinded by political
hate, that there has never been any
thing in our conduct to justify the
conclusion that we were capable of
plotting the assassination of a fellow
man. Hunted and persecuted as we
were for years in Laurens county,
~olely because of our political opinions,
'and well knowing who were the leaders
in1' that persecution, if we had been
-capable 'of seeking our revenge along
the path- of the assassin, those leaders
Swould not be living to-day to instigate
this most malignant and groundless
charge .against us, which rests alone
upon the statement of the avowed
principals in the deed of blood.
We shrink from no judicial investi
gation, and stand prepared to meet
nur accusers face to face in the courts.

We regret to record the death of
Miss Adelia Hunter, who died at the
residence of her mother, Mrs. H. L.
Hunter, of this village, on the 12th
iust., after a protracted and painful
illness of several weeks. Miss Hunter
was quite a young lady, just entering

The most exciting and interesting

with the authorship of the murder of
Dr. Shell in 1868. The Union-Herald
is authority for saying that on Wed

not look as if badly scared. It may
be taken for granted then that he was
scared a little. This was after his
passage through Newberry, and on
that occasion the assertion of the
Union-Berald is corroborated by sev

seem much scared, although he seemasd

As the regular business of Confer
me was of a varied and comprehen
ive character, consisting of reports of
:harges, Church and Sabbath School,
mnd discussions on education and other
terests of the Church, a notice is
mpossible in a brief article such as
his, therefore we pass it all over and
nly allude to the interesting fact that
1 .500 were subscribed to Wofford
1olege Endow ment Fund, and that a
esolution was adopted asking the An
nal Conference to give Coiresbury
chool a portion of the Conference
Educational Collection. Both of these
were important results. The next

Now a word or two for Greenwood
md people. A first impression on
anding from the cars in the hottest
art of the day is not flattering '.o the
:own-this .was our thought. The
ma was scorching, shade trees not yet
lanted, stores distant one or two hun
Ired yards, and scarcely any of the
iely inhabitants to be seen. Confer
ne was in session, committee en
aged, and Friday stragglers not look
d for. Were met by Capt. Parks,
who hinted hotel, cool ablution and
linner. We took hint, proceeded to
otel in the Captain's buggy, abluted
md dined, and felt ninety-five and a
half per cent better. A noticeable
~eature about the business centre is
hat the stores are all three or four
~et from the ground and are reached
>y steps, the object of this elevation

Lestcr, M. Taylor, and A. M1. Aiken,
the latter a eneral guano agent; there
is a large carriage factory besides,
managed by J. W. Rowland. We
had nearly forgotten to mention the
fact that Mrs. Richter is the presiding
deity of a first class miflinery estab
lishment. In addition there are black
smitli, wheelwright, cobblers and paint
eis shops, and a newspaper, the New
Era, which, though mentioned last,
is nut the least. Mr. Blake is the
editor of the Era, and we are glad
to say that the people of Greenwood
appreciate his efforts by a lib6ral sup
port, notwithstanding the fact that
there are three other papcrs in the
Countv--the Abbeville 3ledium,Press
& hinner and the Presbyterian.
The people are heavily taxed by the
Press, but they stand the pressure.
Mr. Blake is the only lawyer-this
fact may account for the religious tone
of the people. There are three schools
-one feuale, under the charge of
Miss Devore, an accomplished lady.
Mr. Thos. Duckett, formerly of New
berry. one of the best educators of the
time, has a male school with a pretty
fair number of pupils. He is much
esteemed by the people. The other
is a mixed school, boys and girls, un
der the efficient charge of Mr. Samuel
Boozer. There aie several doctors,
Dr. Naxwell the most popular and
sueTcessful. le is an agreeable and
accomplished genitleian and stands
high in his profession. At his pleas
ant home we had the double satisfaction
of meeting with an auiable lady in
the person of the Doctor's wife, and
Miss Lizzie, the charming daughter
of a good Edgefield friend, Mr. J hn
Hollincgsworth. But w6 are getting
on too fast.
Leaving the business portion of
Greenjwood behind,and advancing into
the interior, we found that a large pro
portion of the dwellingys are built in
handsome modern style. with consid
erable display at ornamentation. The
effect is very pleasing. Most of the
dwellings, too, are rendered very at
tractive by handsomely laid off gar
dens, in which the most beautiful
flowers are displayed. The water
is the purest and coolest we have
ever found outside of a mountain
country. It is no wonder to our mind
that with so many natural and arti
ficial advantages the people of Green
wood are refined, clever and hospitable.
We would like to mention the namies
of many who helped to make the
meetifig pleasant and our brief sojourn
agreeable, but we will only add in ad
dition to those already named, Mr.
Duckett and family, Mr. Anderson,
the genial railroad agent, and his clever
lady, and Gen. Jas. Gilliam, the latter
almost a centennarian, for he is in his
85th year, and as active and enter
taining as many men of only half his
years. The General, though not so
wealthy as before the war, is in easy,
comfortable circumstances. HIe can
read large print without glasses, and
cei -write a plain, business hand as
rapidly as a school boy. We were
pleased to see him at church twice
on Sabbath, morning and night, and
to hear his voice joining in the songs
of praise with sonorous effect. He is
certainly a well preserved man and
bids fair for many years yet. We
had almost forgotten to mention that
Greenwood is the home of the Rev.
Thos. Pope, formerly of Newberry,
who is beloved by his large congrega
tion-dined with him Saturday agree
ably-has four interesting children
the style of all ministers.
We fear you are wearied, reader,
but the account could hardly have
bcen given in a smaller compass,
and we will close by saying that
Greenwood is pronounced by the New
berry delegration as one of the first
places, and that to her kind and hos
pitable people much of the success of
the District Meeting is due.
One incident and we are done. On
Saturday night in the Methodist
Church we noticed that which moved
us to a great internal depth. Our
friend, Capt.--- with acharmning lady
comipinion, about whose future Madame
Rumor is very busy, had a front seat
together, there was just room com
fortably for two who could appreciate
the situation, but not quite enough if
there had been no reciprocity of feel
ing. The Captain is a gallant man,
and a quick observer; he saw in front a
window with closed blinds; he would
give the people near more air; leav
ing his seat with a handkerchief upon
it to show that it was occupied, lie
proceeded to the window, opened it
and returned with downcast eyes, for
he could have found the place blind
fold, but alas, wvhen lie stopped and
looked up his seat was occupied by a
lady and gentlemen who had just
dropped in without intention of in
truding. lie was for a moment at a
loss, but finally retired. How much
we sympathized with him. We have
not room now to write, but we did
feel powerfully moved to tell the other
young man and woman that they had
done a big damage and must be care
ful in the future.

Camp Meetings.
Camp Meetings had their origin in 1799, in
Kentucky. Presbyterians and Methodists
were united in those meetings in their com
mencement. At one meeting in Kentucky,
it was estimated that twenty thousand were
in attendance, and several hundred were con- 1
verted to God. Those meetings (for the most
part) were soon left to be carried on mainly
by the Methodist Church, many of whom
have ever regarded them as a means of grace,
which should not be given up. There is a
philosophical reason for their continuation. 1
All establishments have their great occasions
for the purpose of exerting an influence upon
the masses. Colleges have their Commence
ments. Political associations have theirgreat
occasions; and the Church of God under the
Jewish dispensation had her feasts which
called the children of Israel to Jerusalem to]
spend' several days together. The feast of]
Tabernacles, was an occasion when they
dwelt emphatically in tents. The church in
this day must have extra occasions-of these
let the camp meeting be conspicuous. The
philosophy of camp meetings is equally ob
vious when we consider the advantage of
protracted devotion to God in the use of
public means, rhe ordinary services of the
church are interrupted by frequent intermis
sions. The mind jaded and perplexed with
worldly interests, hardly gets fixed on the
subject before it must be diverted. Th is sug
gests the reason why the Jewish feasts were
exitended to such lengths. Infinite w-isdlom
saw that it was necessary to extend those
feasts in order that minds dead to religions
interests, might be held in contact with bet
ter spirits; listen to the law and be drilled by
protracted effort. Camp meetings like those
feasts, abstract us from care and conflict
about temporal things'for a time, and place
u.s for days together in contact with the
means of grace, which invariably results in
good to a greater or less extent. For camp
meetinas will bring together many christian
spirits; those possessed of divine or religions.
influence, and such as are well -informed in
the science of salvation. They delight to
talk of the knowledge and love of God; to
sing praises to God and tell of His goodness.
Thus an influence is exerted upon the sloth
ful professor and the impenitent, which.often
results in the improvement of the one and
the conversion of the other.
Camp meetings are remarkably adapted to
the conversion of sinners. That sinners are
convinced of sin, and the necessity of be
coming pious, under ordinary training, is
true; but then they are hindered often by
circumstances. One hindrance is their rela
tion to unconverted persons. They are con
nected in business (or otherwise) with per
sons wh osa influence is against religion. To
change their course under the circumstances
would expose them to persecution. Here is
a difficulty, which taken in connection with
the frequent apathy of the church, is quite
sufficient in their judgment to deter them
from duty.
At the camp meeting these impediments
we in part removed; while under the con
stant infinence of the word of life they are
brought to yield, although'they had resis ted
all ordinary means previously employed for
their salvation.
Hundreds and thousands now in Heaven
received their first religious impressions, and
were converted to God at camp meetings.
These, such as are now living, are not all
found in the Methodist Church-but many
of them are found connected with the differ
ent branches of the Church of Christ in the
land. Many of our own Ministers, and some
in other religious persuasions, were brought
to Christ at camp meeting. We know there
are objections raised against camp meetings,
and there are objections raised against many
other things. Says one objecter, they are
occasions of evil. We know that many
wicked people attend them, and sometimes
behave badly! But before we condemn
camp geetings on that account we should
remember that these persons were wicked
before the meeting w.as appointed, and would
have been profane anywhere else; they float
together on any and every occasion, whether
it be a religious occasion or not. The only
difference the camp meeting makes with
them is, it changes the scene of their crimes,
and in some respects the nature of them.
But camp meetings are not responsible for
their conduct, and will not be implicated by
i t.
It is no new thing for the enemies of God
to disturb his pe~ople. In Job's day it was
so--"Satan came also among them!" But
God's people were'not blamed on that ac
count, nor did they see cause to abandon
their meetings.
Will politicians abandon mass meetings
because people do wickedly in many instanees
on such occasions? Shall there be no courts?
Shall we have no sale-days because ikople at
such places commit sin? Shall the ballot-box
be given up because some men use improper
means to secure their election? No, says
every thinking mind. Then why condemn
camp meetings because some go there to
display their ignorance and folly! If the
abue of camp meengns be a valid argument.

A grotesque looking creature is the

lucks, geese and hogs.
The head and thorax are united and I
overed by a shield convex above and
oncave beneath; abdomen covered
so by a shield not so broad as that

nding in a dagger-like tail longer than
he whole hody; the legs are scarcely

iueer figure in motion. In some of the r
Lsiatic islands the spine is used by the c
avages for pointing their arrows. On

as been utilized by grinding into a fer

MOUNT PLEASANT REGATTA.
This pleasant episode in the quiet life
f this sea-girt town came off on Satur
lay, 5th inst. The streets were alive
~vith parties wvending their way to the
erry wharf as the looked for hour' ap
proached; the number on the pier in
~reased by the departing files of the
Stonewall Engine Company," who had
een engaged in target practice and
i pic-nic during the day.
All eyes were strained in the direc
ion of Sullivan's Island Point, near
which the starting judge, Mr. E. 0.
Rall, .had anchored his boat, the "Old
Buck." The terminal judge, Dr. J. Y.
DuPre, took his position at the north
vest corner of the wharf, whence an
[maginary line struck a stake surmount-1
d by a white flag, on Crab Bank--the
listance to. be run being one mile. At
3.37 o'clock a gun from the starting
oat announced that the three White
aall .boats were in motion. On they
same, the crew of each boat bending to
;heir oars in fine style. Soon a cheer
inounced the arrival of the winning
oat on the line, succeeded by another,
md then another, as each of the con
;estants reached the goal in the followv
ng order: The "Corsair"-time, 7:20;
he "Eulalie," 8; the "Maggie,"i 8:4.
very youthful cox wain, Willie Royall,
uided the helm of the winning craft;
sir. E. H. Mazyck that of the second,
md Mr. J. S. Mitchell of the Maggie.
When all worked so well and so
2arly even in the friendly emulation,
iscrimination is not so very pleasant,
ut as cheer upon cheer died away upon1
:he waters, the Doctor announced the
result, followed by a neat speech, in
yhich the participants were highly
omplimented upon the proficiency ex
aibited by them, and the pleasure thus
rfforded the spectators.
No golden guerdon held out its glit
ering bait to tempt their powers, but
;heir only reward wvas the pleasant ex
ibition of friendly rivalry in the noble
md exciting art of water craft.
A pleasant feature of the entertain
ent was the presentation of a cham
pion flag to the Corsair, and another to
he Eulalie, from some of their fair
~riends and spectators.
IN THE CITY.
A worthy and enterprising Charles
~onian, Mr. E. Welling, has erected a
laning mill at the east end of Colum
aus St., in front of the "Half Moon
Battery," thus renewing his old special
y. He furnishes all sorts of dressed
oards, and laths, and palings sawed to
rder, and contracts to deliver lumber
it any point,and the neighboring islands.
[t is refreshing to record these evidences
