On Friday afternoon last we left Aiken to attend the Union Meeting of the 2nd Division of the Edisto Baptist Association. Wes}>eut the night under the hospitable roof of our old and val ued friend J. K. Brodie, where we were made to feel perfectly comfortable and at home. The next day Saturday, we proceeded to Bethcar Church, where we found a fair attendauceof ladies and gentlemen who had come to attend the Union. The ministers present were the venerable and beloved Hi- . lam Lecroy, the earnest and indefatig- I able John A. Scgier aud the! vigorous and active H. L. Baggott. ' The Rev. Mr. Scgier preached the In- i trouuetory Sermon, a partof which we j were so unfortunate as to lose as we ar ! rived late, but what we did hear was j characteristic of the earnest zeal of this useful member of the minis-1 try. After the sermon and other us- j usal religious exercises, the Union was called to order by Rev J A Segler the Moderator, Mr. W. W. Brodie iu his place as Clerk. After the letters of the churches had been received and the usual committees bad been ap pointed, Mr. Carson Keels introduced a resolution, proposing a change In the constitution relative to the manner of receiving dele gates from the different churches. This provoked considerabJediscussiou which was participated in by Messrs. Keels, Lecroy, Baggott A. L. Sawyer aud others, and the whole matter was eventually referred to a committee to report on the following day. The question for discussion was then announced: “How cun we induce our Church to take an interest in our union meetings.” The first speaker was Rev. H. L. Baggott, who entered into a critical and searching review of the whole question, which was listen ed to with marked attention by all present. He was followed by tbe Rev. H. Lecroy, who discussed the matter in a most interesting manner concluding with an urgent appeal to the membership for earnest prayer to Almighty God that He stimulate the brethren to greater zeal and interest in their Church duties. The discus sion then closed. The committee of arrangements for the services of the following day, con sisting of Messrs. J. Cal Courtney, A L. Sawyer, with the Rev. H. Lecroy and the deacons of Bethcar Church reported, that on the following day, Sunday, a Sunday-school mass meet ing would be held at 9}4 o’clock, at which time addresses would be made by Capt. J. C. Humphries and Col Chas. E. R. Drayton, after which the usual services would be held and the Charity Sermon preached by the Rev. H. L. Baggott. There being no fur ther business the Union adjourned. As usual with our hospitable fellow- citizens, we were overwhelmed with invitations to pass the night, but as our esteemed friend, the Rev. John A. Segler, was first On the list aud as his place was at a reasonable dis tauce from the church we accepted tho hospitalities of himself and his amia ble lady, and nothing w’as left un done to make our stay pleasant and comfortable. On Sunday It was not until 10 o’clock before the opening hymn was sung for the people to as semble for tiie Sunday-School Mass Meeting. The house was soon filled and after prayer by Mr. A. L. Sawyer Col. Drayton was introduced by the Moderat or as the first speaker, Capt. Humphries not having yet, ar rived. Col. Drayton spoke for about twenty minute,calling attention to the 'mportauce of the Sunday-school as a nursery of the church and dwelling up on the duties which we owe to our children andto society at large. He was followed by Capt. J. C. Humphries who spoke for about the same length in an WASillXGTOX LETTER. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, May 2S, ISbG.

Union Meeting at Millbrook. The First Division qf the Edisto Baptist Association convened at Mill- brook church on Saturday Just, with a better attendence than usual. The introductory sermon was preached by’ Rev. Lucius Cuthbert, in his usual eloquent styde, after which the Union wan called to order by Moderator J. C. Browne, and tbe business transact- S 1 and the queries discussed. On unday the Charity Sermon was preached by the Rev. J.C. Browne and is pronounced by good judges to have been s powerful effort.

Huipphries —— ful speaRenracnn^remarks were list ened to with rapt attention. Tiie committee on the change of constitution relative to the admittance of delegates to the union, then made their report, through its Chairman lev. H. L. Baggot, and it was unani- monsly adopted after some remarks by the Rev. H. Lecroy. The change made, limits the number of delegates to one for every twenty-five members of the church, and the delegates are to be received in tbe same manner as they are received at the Association. It is hoped that by smaller delega tions the responsibility for attendence on the Union will be more felt anil that a larger number will be secured tnan was attained by the old plan of naming indiscriminately a large number of the members. The Union then adjourned, and the regular religious exercises of the day were commenced. After the usual service of song and prayer tiie Rev. H L. Baggott preached the Charity ser mon from tiie the 6th Chapter of John, 35th verse: “I am the bread of life, liethat cometh tome shall never hunger, aud he that believeth in me shall never thirst.” The speaker handled his theme in a discriminating and logical manner dwelling on the danger of worldly mindedness and the love and duty which we owe our Saviour was eloquently contrasted with His sacrifices for us. Mr. Baggott lias apparently just at tained what may be termed middle age, aud is in the full meridian of his powers and usefulness, which we hope will be extended into a long and hon orable old age, devoted to tbe service of the Master. At the conclusion of the sermon a collection was taken up to assist in defraying tiie expenses of Rev. D, M. Ramsey, who will soon visit Edisto Association as the agent of the State Mission Board. These interesting services were termi nated about half-past one o’clock, but a heavy rain coining up the congrega tion were obliged to remain for some time longer. The Recorder was again the recipient of numerous very kind and hospitable invitations to dine. We solved the pleasant diffi culty by accepting the hospitalities of our kind friends, Messrs. Elias and Lucius Hollmau, as it brought us on the road to Mr. J. K. Brodio’s, where we had left our little daughter. Having dined with these hospitable gentlemen and successful farmers, we spent the night with our friend, J. K , and reached Aiken on Monday morning, arriving at a quarter past ten, just iu time to put iu a heavy day’s work for the readers of The Recorder. In conclusion, we would say, that we enjoyed our trip immensely,As it afforded us the opportunity ofexchang iug cordial greetings with old and val ued friends. We heard none but kind words for The Recorder and several new subscribers were added to our list. We regret to say that tiie crops gen erally along our line of travel were very backward, though in much better order than we expected to see after so much rain. Owing to pressure for time on our last day we are obliged to omit a great many interesting things connected with this pleasant meeting, that it would afford us great pleasure to publish, espeeiallj’ as it was our first visit to the Second Division, but we have made arrangements with an active member of tiie union for a minute report of ail the proceedings. If sent in time it will appear next week. In conclusion we W’ould beg leave to extend to our numerous friends, our sincere aud heartfelt appreciation of their hospitable attentions and many acts of courtesy during our most agreeable and pleasant trip. his last reception gave tbe gossips new food that will serve them for many a day. A lady caller summon ed up sufficient courage to congratu late him upon his approaching mar riage and he thanked her. The inci dent will have to be taken by sober minded people for what it is worth. The following bulletin of the Presi dent’s condition was posted at the White House this morning: Nine a. m. temperature, 98; pulse, 70; respira tion, normal. Ten a. m. un changed. Eleven A. M. — The same. Twelve A. M. — Ditto. No further facts could be as certained from private secretary, clerks, door-keepers, cook or chamber maid, and the few newspaper men, hack drivers and policemen standing about the porte-cochere of tiie Presi dent's house looked up at the silent facade aud decided that the wedding would certainly take place when it occurs, if it ever does. Indeed so many stories are afloat regarding the President’s marriage that it is difficult to tell what is true and what is mere guesswork. It is generally conceded that he intends being married very shortly after Miss Folsom’s return from Europe. Be yond that nothing definite is known. A report bearing upon this subject is afloat just now which seems based upon more reliable information than most of tiie others. It is that the President intends going to New York for the purpose of meeting Miss Fol som on her arrival. The only persoi who has the President’s entire confi dence in the matter is supposed to be Colonel Lamout who has all along been as an Egyptian mummy and has met all inquires with tho remark, “Yes, I think it will rain.” Tiie county seat which Mr. Cleve land has purchased #jar this city cost him $21,500.

The most melancholy thing about the Oleomargarine bill is, not that it is to pass, but that it is to pass in violation of the convictions ofa majori ty in both houses of Congress.

Lenore. Bitten by a Mad Dog. On Thursday night as Mr. C. H. Ludekens, Jr., was returning home from liis place of business, he was at tacked by a large black dog in front of Mr. Robert Powell’s residence and severely bitten on the arm and leg. without any provocation whatsoever. Dr. Wyman was called in aud ap plied some remedies to extract the poison and cauterized the wounds on tiie following day. After the attack on Mr. Ludekens it soon transpired that the dog was mad, and on Friday morning policeman Gribbeu with oth ers started iu pursuit of the offending animal. Between 10 and 11 o'clock the dog made its appearance on Main street with Marshall Gribben in pur suit and a ebase commenced, wiiich did not terminate until the depot was readied—where he was killed. Mr. W. W. Woolsey who was coming into town, just at the time, with his family in a buggy made a narrow escape, as the dog jumped up and snapped at his horse, but fortun ately missed him. It was found that several dogs had been bitten by tho mad dog, and we are glad to learn that four of the number have been killed. We sincerely trust that Mr. Ludekens will experience no inconvenience from bis wounds. WHJ we garantee ! The FafiDellvery of Orders, whether for%rded by Mail, Express or Freight.

While speaking in debate, he was requested by the chair to suspend his remarks in order to allow the Secreta ry of tiie Senate to deliver a messsage from that body. He declined, polite ly but firnly, to do so, and the Secre tary was obliged to wait till he had finished. The custom of both houses in this respect is a courtesy of tiie emp tiest sort. More than one fine flight of oratory has been spoiled by inter ruptions for which there was absolute ly no need. A message from the House is a pure formality, and its oral announcement could be dispensed with altogether without damage to any interest. Why, then, should it be permitted to mar the charm of a speecli or break the force of a closely woven argument? Palmetto. Sleepy Hollow Items. Correspondence of the Aiken Recorder. Sleepy Hollow’, I Aiken County, S. C., > May 29, 1886. ) The late sand and rain storm did considerable damage to cotton throughout this section. Some of our tamers have had to plant over a part if not their entire crop. The health of our communit y is extemely good, (dis tressing news to the Doctors.)

Owing to the continual rain tiie picnic was postponed until some time in June. Your correspondent with several from Sleepy Hollow, had the pleasure of attending a Sabbath School picnic at the Club House in Beech Island last Saturday the 22nd. At quite an early hour the crowd began to arrive at the Baptist Church, which is by the way quite a handsome building, beautifully situated on an eminence, a irrounded by natures own loveliness Several addresses were expected from gentlemen of Augusta, but owing to politics thecrowd of pleasure seekers were doomed to a disappointment iu that feature of the day. However, Mr, Wallace Miller, in his easy, graceful style, explained to the waft ing audience the cause of the non-ap- pearuuce of the orators and so dis missed them, after which they all re paired to tiie Club House, where quite a concourse of people assembled. The elder gentlemen were discussing crops, politics, railroad enterprises and other themes of like interest, while the younger ones were indulg ing In harmless flirtations with bright eyed and rosy checked maidens, aud the lads aud lasses passed the time with ball, swings and other amuse ments.
