I,. Vass then look the chair and after calling for a list of delegates ho asked for reports from the counties. Tticso were, in the main, encouraging The two counties which arc considered the poorest in the Statu, Horry and Lexington, reported their schools in most nourishing condition. This was certainly very creditihle, particularly in Ihccase of Horry, which is far distant from railroads nnd colleges. This, the uipsl remote county from the place of the Convention, was fully represented by active, energetic, earnest delegates. The lirst siibiect the object and aims of Sunday Seho il Work ? was discussed by Itev. A. W. Lamar, who was followed by several others in pointed *iml pertinent remarks. Relations of the .Sunday School to tlie Church and Family?was opened by lie*. T. II. Law, who clearly defined this relation, which exists between the Church ami School. In the evening session the attendance wii" small on account of rain, lint tiie subject.* were taken up in order, an 1 the l'residcnt found tlillicuby in restraining tlio.-o desiring to talk. Speech would follow speech in rapid succession, and many valuable suggestions were made. Thursday morning a better audience was in attendance. New Delegates were on hand. Many good talks were made. One feature of the addressee was thai they were short, no one exceeding fifteen minutes. The attention of the vi>iitors to the Convention for three hours was a marked compliment to those who were talking. It was evident that the delegates had come to toy via do their work belter when they returned home. Alt tne delegates were aui.t Sunday School men. They ??<*?/ worker who is never heard from only on public occasions did not put in appearance. Such are not wanted at Conventions. An amateur teacher is about as worthless as an amatucr merchant or farmer. During the afternoon session the subject.? SAbbatli Schools for the Colored, Our Duty ? nv reive I considerable attention. IL L. Realty, of Horry stated that in their County they invited the colored teachers to lake part in their Conventions. Several colored delegates were present at the last convention, ami one of them took a pari in I lie discussion. this county is certainly in advance of sonic others in tlint respect. The general seiiliiiient of I lie t'onvcntjoii was 111:11 aid and itiMrucii>>:i should lie extended to the colored schools when pos-ible. 'I he eoifnention closed Thursday evening. While there 'vi re no eloquent, studied speeches, there were many cartiost practical talks he ring ilireeily on the <|ucsti'>!is for discussion.

A Fatal Kcrosono Accident. A small colored girl, daughter of Rachel Turner, was so dreadfully burned on Thursday last that she died in great ngotiy on the following Sunday- Coroniy fijxer held an inquest on the body, which elicited the following facts : The child's mother was away from home, sonic miles, and had left the little girl and a baby in charge of an aged colored woman. The latter was in the garden, sonic distance from the house when she heard the child's screams. On going toward the house she found the girl lying l>y a fence, enveloped in flumes and in great agony. It seems that the child attempted to make a fire and finding some live coals in the fire place poured kerosene oil upon them from the oil can. Of course the oil blazed up and caught that in the can and an explosion took place, setting lire to her clothing. Another sad warning against the use of Kerosene in making fires. ? l'lto.MrTNiss.?Promptness in business saves i: uch trouble. It is a pleasure to deal with a until that presents lulls exactly wlicu they arc due, and pays sueli ns you present three uiiniiie.s alter siglh. Tins is impracticable witli ibv majority of people, owing to their training.? They get a slip-shod way of doing business, and fail to collect money due, just as long as creditors will wait on tlicni. Punctuality, both in colli cling and paying, should he aimed at by every business man of the country.?C\irvlimt Sjtar/rtii. There's considerable truth but, in these awful times, not much poetry in the above. It is very evident that our esteemed christian friend of the Sjhirf'tu lias not had long enough experience in country newspaper business to feel how it is when the last unllar he had when lie went into it is gone, and his only reliance for money to pay his debts at live minutes notice is upon the receipts of his otlicc, particularly during the summer months. If the above moans anything it moans that "it is a pleasure to deal with a mail" who always litis money on hand to "pay as he goes," hut It is not much Plea-lire to deal with those who are not so fortunate in their financial condition. Wo think if friend Petty had had our experience of the past three months his cases of pleasant business I causae, tions would have been deplorably few and very far between. I'crhaps that's what's the matter, however, an J lie only means it as a i;cnt'omai !y bisiue o hint. ? ? The Cotton CropWe took much pains on Monday last to til* <|iiirc of the Farmers who were in town, as to the true conditiox of the cotton crop, ami almost every one tol l us that they cotild not possibly make more than half a crop, while many sail I they wonhl not make that. The weed has grown rapidly since the rains, but has not put on fruit. Many inform us that a very large ntimhet; of good sized -talks did not have more than four bolls on them, with a few blooms and no sipiares. The weed looks well, and a person passing along the mad would say the crop was line ; but if they were to go into the field and examine it, they would find that appearances were very deceptive. We know this to be the case in a patch wi'.liiu (he corporate limits of this town. Nut only are the bolls scarce but most of them arc very small. Our iiiforinntion as to the general crop comes from the most r< )i- j able i n ib s in the County, and we now honestly believe (hat the cotton crop id' Union will i.ot he more than half tin average.

In nothing can ilicrc Ins more deception practiced and inferior work covereil up limn in House Painting, , as such work on many of Hie houses in Union gives unmistakable proof. Cheap material anil bail wmk in painting a house is the worst kind of economy and soon shows. We are led to these remarks liy the superior painting upon Mr. A. II. Stokes' house, on Main Street, lay Mr. W. Miller, which we think is one of tinvery best jobs in town. The colors on the outside show great taste and are honestly put on. while the walnut and oak graining on the woodj work of the inside proves Mr. .Miller to be a ! i'm class workman. We doubt much if better i work can be found in the largest cities, and we ; believe it will stand the test of time. ? .?. A Kink l.ttiit\t;v. --Col.

Miss Mnlicr was appointed, witliout solicitation on her part, by n Republican Administration seven years ago, and it is not too much to say that there was no better Postmaster in the whole Slate. If Mr. Key's intention was to replaco this worthy lady by the most objectionable colored politician to be found in Barnwell County, lie has succeeded admirably. Nix's wholj record is a dirty one. He was the righthand man of the notorious thief Leslie, and ho ( has managed in every possible way to make himself odious to decent people. 1. is simply a disgrace to civilization that the postollice of a thriving '.own like Blackvillc should be placed i in the charge of such a fellow. - Dkatii ix Kahi.v Youth.?The Itev.
