At the meeting 1 whioh adopted the resolutions dcnounoing the erime on Monday were pastors of the Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Huguenot, Congregational, Lutheran end Episcopal Churches. The Rev.

Persons in the rear piazzas of both houses can converse, and MoDow can eaailj got over bia back fonoo inte the Dawson premises. It is said thit yesterday afternoon MoDow endeavored to communicate with the Swiss maid, who was c in the piazzas with Capt. Dawson's daughter, r and that the maid reported the fact to Mrs. Dawaon. It is also said that he repeated the attempt later in the evening, when Mrs. Dawson appealed to the police authorilies for protection. ( THE J CRT HAD ITS VERDICT RRADT. Another story is going around to the effect that one of the white jurymen who ( has been drunk since the trial was heard to boast in n barroom that Mr. Mitchell, the counsel for the State, might have saved E himself the trouble of speaking en Saturday, as the jury had made up its verdict en Friday. Still another rumor is te the ; effect that X THE BRt'ISK fix JpDOW'R HEAvt, * to which Dr. Forrest so feelingly testified on 1 the trial as coming probably from Dawson's t five-ounce malaceacane, which McDow hid in j the vault and than finhail mil > * ? ?

The story is that it was reoeived on the mcrning of 1 lbs murder in the house of one of bis lady 1 patients with whom the dootor had attempted one of the tittle indiscretions which he is so confident bis friends will overlook. It is said that the affair leaked out too late to be introduced in the trial, but that the Solioi- 1 tor is in possession of the faots and names, s ?Special to Greenville Xtirs. e Another Northern Cotton Mile Removed , to Booth Carolina.?The Xew* ami Courier heartily congratulates the people of Rock 0 llill, 8. C., and the Paltersou Mills Cor*pa- 1 ny, of Chester, Pa., upon the arrangement which has just been effected for their mutual benefit. The Pennsylvania Company ? have certainly acted wisely in choosing so desirable a location to which to transfer tbeir plant, and Rock Hill will secure a valuable' mill, running ten thousand spindles, on w very favorable terms. Hotb parties to the ,i arrangement are, therefore, proper subjects for congratulations, nud the Xriea ami Cm- ** Tier lakes especial pleasure in having been 11 ths medium of bringing about so promis- ft iog an alliance. n As was shown yeatorday, there are ten . times mors cotton spindles in the North " than there arc in the South. All of there Not them spindles eught to be removed to d the Southern States, where they can be operated moat advantageously to their own. era, to the cottou producing States, and con. R sequent!/ to the whole country. And the best plan for their removal, it would appear, is that which has beon adopted for the transfer of the Pennsylvania mill to South st Carolina. a, The owners of the null retain their in. ? lerest in it, but plaoe it on ground that it can hold against the competition of the w world, as long as cotton grows and cotton pi goods are in demand. The people of the t| district to which the mill is removed secure at once an important addition to their in. dustrics, and secure, besides, the great ad- oc vantage of tho long experience of the new- en comers in the manufacture in which they ^ engage together. This experience would be , a most valuable consideration wheie the transfer mill was devoted to the manufacture of high grade goods, and wo hope to hoar of the removal of such a mill to South Caro- r lina at n very curly day. ' The people of (lie South would much pre- j c fer lo work with Northern cettou nmnufac- * turers, rather than agaiuat then, to bring f, the mills to the cotton; and we ate very ^ Fure that anj company in any Norther? i * Slate which desires to move its plant to South Carolina will receive as eordinl vrel- r corue and substantial ai,d from the peoy le of nny community in ibe Sts'e as has he on ^ Ji\eo vy Koc't I^ill to the Patterson Comany.?.Yrirs ami Courier.

The statements |j ? 0 in question were made on the authority of 'J f the Baltimore Manufacturers' Record, an wc i f aid at the time, and have since been re- m prated by that paper.

The necessary money baa boon raised wit h whioh to put up the buildioge and par* chase engine and boilers and equip the mill. Mr. John B. London, president ef the Rock Hin Standard Mill, visited Mr. Trainer at his home In Chester, Pa., and secured the refusal ef the machinery for Rook Hill. On Mr.' London's 'return Mr. J. R. Noisier, superintendent of the Reek Hill Cotton Factory Company, was sent to Chester to examine the maohinery and report. Ue returned on Saturday and reported the machinery as entirely sitisfrctory. It will be seen that the praetioal, wide* awake business people of Rook hill, not only promptly put up the money necessary, bnt sent a responsible gentleman of the community to Mr. Trainer and offered it to him. This was prompt striotly business, and Mr. Trainer being a business man, recognised ?t . once the enterprising spirit of the people of Kocff Hill and did not hesitate to accept their proposition, presented as it was in suoh a business-like and praetioal manner. We do not know what amount has really been subscribkd for a Factory here, bnt we hope the Board of Trade will keep the ball moving and continue its efforts in that direction we may confidently look for similar, if not better, propositions from many Northern Mill owners to remove their plants to the South, and when such cases offer ws should be ready to aot promptly and with something tangible in our hands to offer. We. however, would like to see an effort made to establish Factories for the finer grades of Cotton Mill produots. With the finer grades will come the "Calico Engraving and Print works," which are equally as important to a community as the Cotton Factories, and are, in a great measure, necessary for the success of every branch of the Cotton and Woolen Factory industries. Value of Cotton Seed Halls In a few years we expect to find every particle of the cotton plant, from the leaf to the lint, put to valuable uses. Already the fibrous stalk is being utilized for making pnper, its seed manufactured into oil, food for stock and a valuable fertilizer and it is now discovered that even the hulls of the seed possess great fattening properties for cattle, hogs and sheep. We doubt if there is any nliuit irrown in nnv nnrf nf tlin ?! ?# I contribute* bo nmny comfort*, luxuries and necessaries, for man and beast, as the cotton plant, and it docs seem tc us that if any man should grow rich and be independent, it is the cotton planter; with such a plant at hie control to provide food and raiment for himself and family. Hut not until the last few years have they begun to fully know and appreciate the true worth of the plant to them, and make all its important commercial and fertilizing values contribute to their financial prosperity. Under the Alliance organization, all the money value of the cotton plant may l>e made to contribute to the tiouthern Farmers' comfort, prosperity and independence; and we are pleased to hear that that organization is now contemplating the adoption of some plan by which the land owners will be able to control the sale of all the cotton seed belonging to their tenants, insuring to the latter fair prices for the seed, restoring all its fertilizing properties to the bind wbers jt wax grown, and at the same time sustaining our home enterprises by patronizing the Oil Mills conveniently established at their doors. Clifford Seminary. The Clifford Seminary building is now undergoing important repairs and improvements. In consequence of unavoidable delays, the addition made last year could not be coin plctcd before the opening of the Fall session, but they are now in course of completion, and will be ready for occupation by the opening of the next session. These improvements will add greatly to the comfort and convenience of the pupils, giving more rooms, all well ventilated and handsomely finished. Already Mr. Clifford has received applications front a large number of persons outside of this county, for catalogues, terms, etc., with a view to patronizing the seminary next year; and the prospects for a much larger attendance are very flattering. Every year the popularity of this ndmira hie institution becomes more widespread, its efficiency and worth more pronounced and appreciated. This is apparent from the fact that almost every year, the Proprietor has been compelled to make additions to the building, to meet the wants of increased iiuauuuio ui |iill>Ui*. It is fast winning a place for itself among the foremost institutions of learning in the country, by its own work and merits. Personal*. Mrs. J. II.

Am, July 16?Our reader* will pardon ua for devotir^ co muoh of our t space tnhreek to firing as account of the "CblldMqfs day"? as it was observed at 8alem church last Sabbath. During the early morningdKe clouds began to break away and f the genweSnys of the sun fell upon the land- 1 scape like moonbeams upon the boundless < ocean. . lira long looked for "Children's | day',' hW| Sfyiyed. The whaoking scissors, < thMsEfK^'matohlne and-the smoking stove i had their work in readiness. Mothers, t wbosd^hris never faint'and fingers never m, lrfr?ia*ged the inodest apparel of 1 their children and had them in readiness whfW.th* War for the service had arrived. ] Upon the chvhtsh grounds was a sea of hu- ( manity. ^ The octogenarian and the Infant j were present. Youth, manhood, womanhood < auu oiu ago nau come to wuuess ana taxe pari in tltf scenes now to be enacted. The Superintendent, J. L. Strain, called the house to order and asked all the children to come forward to front seats. The bright eyed little boyirxud girls, singly or in groups, marched up the idales and took their places in the front rank, while the choir, led by Prof. Vaughn, sang "Ring the bells of Heaven." In less time than it takes us to tell it the large church building was crowded almost to suffocation. Tlie^8uperintendent requested the children to tise\ to their feet and repeat the "Apostle's^ crfced" and "The Lord's Prayer," at tlw conclusion of which the choir sang, \ ? How sweet the name of Jesus Bounds, In a believer's far, Ac. Rev. 8. I). P. Gnult in a fervent prayer invoked God's 'bleeding upon the 'occasion. The exercises were announced by the Superintendent as formally opened, and the childreit teauesl^-frtfl gio the speakers, as well as '? whole. ]Snrr>i(?e?.jllu!iE kind-atten. lion. " Prof. W. P. McArthur, of Gaffney City Male and Pemale Seminary, was introduced as the first speaker. We regret our inability to properly describe his, as well as the other speeches. Suffice it to say that he triumphantly redeemed our promise that his hearers would hear something brilliant from him. Parental responsibility and filial duty was his theme. He divided society into two classes?the governing and the governed, and dealt with. each in its proper sphere. Although his name is a synonym of lear? ing, purity and christian fidelity, yet hiB commanding appearance, his manly form and his brainy speech won for him new and warm friends in our community. His remarks were pointed, plain and practical. As an educmor, he is second to none. After music by the choir, Rev. A. A. Gilbert of the M. E. Church was introduced. As a pulpit orator, profound reasoner, and tealous christian he has no superior. Combining all these agencies the reader can imagine what we heard from him. His idea that Scjnmie Strain was only the clay tenement of an immortal soul that was the ideal . Sammifl Strain who is to live bcyoud the endless aces of eternity, was a* sublime ! thought. Capt. J. R. Jefferics was next called. At the outlet of his remarks he throttled the old fogy idea that the Sabbath School is not an institution based upon scriptural authority, and cited his hearers to Deuteronomy, 6th chap.: 6 and 7; 31st chap.: 12 and 13, l'rov. 22nd chap.: C; Eph. 6th chap : 4; John 21st chap : 15, 16, and 17 ; Matt. 28th chap : 19, Mark 16th chap : 15. His statistical quotations from the church and Sabbath School reports were interesting and showed an alarming indifference even on the part of our American people, to ?he cause of Christ, to say nothing of the heathen. Out of a populatiqn of over sixty million American people there are only twelve million Evangelical christians, and that five-sevenths of the entiro population of the globe are yet in outer darkness. His was a scathing review of our neglect of the one thing needful. Bro. Jotferies. as our readers arc well aware, has ffil hi#life been a hard bible student, and well did he maintain that reputation in the masterly style in which he dealt with his sul^jectou "Children's day." Kev. J. W. Scliell was next called. He spoke only a few minutes. The speakers who proceeded him had gone over the ground and riven it a thorough working up and lie Would not trespass upon his usurers' j utiencc by a Jong speech. He wanted the children to know that it was their day and not the speaker b nor old folks'dny. Brother ScIicH'b j whole time is given to the Snbbnth School work. Hud n motion been made to press him in for a hnlf hour's speech not n man, ' wonnin or child in the house would have ] failed to vote for it, nit hough they had been , seated for 2J or 3 hours in n densely crowded house. This was his first visit to Snlcin, and he 4 made a fine impression upon our people? '. especially the Indies. TheioOnr for adjournment having arrived tlio choir and congregation sung, Sweet bye- ( and-byfe The imisitf was jmipcrb as the thoughts were suhlinmi Rev. Mr. Query pronounced the 1 benediction, nnd thus a Sabbath dny well spent was consigned to an Eternity of the < past. The ladies, who arc the motive power in ' every good work, were determined that the 1 occasion should be a success, now took the congregation in hnnd nnd from the incx I haustible fountain of their hospitality spread < before theui such a feast of edibles as one i seldom sees in a lifetime. At this point we 1 were more than ever impressed with the fact that when we take the child by the hand we tnko the mother by the heart. Those who bad no children of their own were none the less interested in those of others. Tb e Salem Sabbath School, through your humble correspondent, extends to all, old nnd young who took part with us cither in perHon or spirit its best wishes for their future happiness, prosperity and usefulness, and trusts that the day spent together on earth'is only a foretaste of that joy, bliss and happiness that awaits us beyond the river under the superintending care of the King of Heave*. ~ Vox. ?

No Dancing in tiik II all.?The fight against laving a dance in the new Georgia Capito' milding on the oooasion of its dedication euoseeded. Several day9 ago prominent oititens of the Hiate determined to have a grand oall on that ocoasion. The church people aero at onoe aroused against the danoing. The Women's Chriatian Union grew indig saul at what they styled "the desecration of tbo people's house" and suggested that it should be dedicated by prayer. The rural members of the Legislature were appealed to by their local preachers, when Senator Burt let t introduced a resolution to allow the use of the Capitol for the ball. Tbe feeling of the Senato was s* pronounce! that Barlett will withdraw his resolution The invitations have been countermanded and the ball declared off. An Admission or its Goon Qualities.? An old line physician never recommends a proprietary medicine ti I ho knows of its gsod qualities and has proved them. A well known conservator of the health writes: "Allow me to offer you my experience with Calisaya Tonio. I have prescribed it in many cases of general debility with marked success. In fact, I trotted a o.tse of typhoid malarial fever with no malarial fever with o other anti-periedio toaio or stimu'unt. It has proved all you claim for it in my hands, aad has been perfectly satisfactory." Calisaya Tonio is sold by all druggists at fifty cents and a dollar a bottle. ? ??

[)aun, died at Bonhein Texas. June 20, 1889, ved 66 years and 7 days. He was born Ja Union county, South Carolina at or near FUklnevillc, Jane 18th, 1888, and Heed la r T n I An tldlll ha a aat aaJ at akaakAAfl WHiVtt U?%II u? aiilTW ? uinuuwv WHVH te removed to Georgia. whert he merried, ind from there went to California coming beok be settled nt Ledonie, Fannin count/, in 1869. He was in ooafedcrate eervioe, and was made Captain of a ooibpany. Ho had the misfortune of losing ao arm in battlo, at Mansfield, I believe, iu Louisiana. After he war he returned to this oount/ and sent to work on a farm, and remained as inch and holding, perhaps, the office of joelee of poaeo until 1872, when ho was eleot?d Sheriff and Tax-collector of the count/ tnd removed to Bonham, the count/ seat After he had bold the effioe of Sheriff and rax-Collector for two years, the offioe was livided into two, and ho was eleoted Tax Collector, and held that office two /ears. lie accumulated a nioe property, estima;ed at from $40,000 to $50,000. 11s was not in educated man, but a man of muoh intellectual force, true and loyal to his friends. He leaves a daughter and two sons to mourn his death. In this oounly in 1888 there were 686 marriage licenses issued by the eeunty olerk, and of oourse there wore that many marriages, and it is certain that 80 marriages, which had been consummated precious to that time proved infelicitous, for 30 divoroes were granted during the year; and as far as my observation goes the divorce mania seems to be on the increase, more especially in the cities and towns. I have boen thinking for a year or so that 1 would say something through the Times te my people about the great amount of eggs in this country. At this writing there is no demand for eggs, they are selling at 6 or 0 ecatc a doHM, when mM at ail. Last week some were sold at 4 cents. The pries of eggs, 1 am sure, varies more here than anywhere else. Last winter a year ago, oggs fell from 26 to 10 cents per doten in Denison and from 20 to lOots iu Bonhans, in one day. I bought 100 dox on that decline at 20 cents and realixed 11 cents per doxen for ?ng, it neu egg? are worm zj ou par dozeu, whioh is generally (ho oase in winter, farmers often bring to market from two to fifteen dollars worih, whioh they barter for goods. When we hare a foreign market for eggs it inoroases trade wonderfully, for the traftio in eggs here Is great indeed. They are shipped from this part of the State to other markets nearly every winter. Messrs Cullers & Henry, of Sherman, shipped two and perhaps three oar loads of egg, last winter. A little over three years age Messrs. W. II. Wilion & Co., of Bonhams shipped a car load of eggs to the markets. The highest prioe last winter here was 16 oents. It is rather too early to speak of the srops, ezoept in a general way. The corn crop is safe, and it is thought by many the* prise, after the present crop is gathered, will be 20 cents per bushel. The weather is uopropitious now for cotton, for nearly a week the plants have been in mud and water. We have had entirely toe much rain for crops. J. 8. C. * Hews From Kelton.
