Nance, of Due West, spent last Friday in the city and gave us a call. Capt. Nance is a candidate for Sheriff of Abbeville County, and would make a most efficient and excellent officer.

Last Friday was a very pleasant and < { enjoyable day for those who attended the Snnday School Celebration at Beaver dam I Church. There was a large attendance. Speeches were made by Col. R. A. Child, I Rev. D. L Spearman. Messrs. G. E. Prince, C. Wardlaw and J. E. Breazeale. There was an elegant and sumptuous dinner ? spread, at which all were amply satisfied. I Capt A. M. Guy ton presided and intro? duced the speakers. The people of that vicinity deserve great credit for tbe very j successful manner in which they man I aged this celebration and thejjgood dinner they gave those present. The new hotel is an assured ? fact. The I stockholders met last Friday afternoon j and heard the report of the Committee appointed to select a site for the build? ing. The Committee recommended the J purchase of the Waverly House property. Architect Bruce, of Atlanta, Ga., was I present at the meeting and give it as his I opinion that the Committee had made the I best selection of any of the sites offered. I The stockholders then unanimously adop? ted the UBCommendation of the Commit I tee, anq instructed them to go ahead and conclude the trade. A call has been made I for 20 pier cent, of the subscriptions, to be Jpald in/by 1st of August. It is proposed (ce^hegii work on tbe new building as soon j as passable. The Stock Grazer, which has recently been patented by Mr. Lewis Ring, of Fork Township, is certainly the best thing of the kind that has yet been invented* In? deed, we believe it is impossible to invent j a better Grazer. It is durable, simple and economical, as its use will save feed, ' and prevent many cows from breaking I their necks. Cease tying your cow by the leg or horns to a stake and purchase one of these Grazers. You will never regret I doing so. The Grazer Is on exhibition at the store of Mr. John B. Watson, where Messrs. J. Boyce Burriss and J. L. Glenn, will take pleasure in showing it to you. Mr. W. J. Hix has the right to sell the I Grazer in several counties. The Grazer costs only $2.50. The Sunday School picnic at Broadaway School House, near Ersxine's Crossing, was a most pleasurable occasion, and__ every one present seemed to ejjjoy-the (dji?. JtertltiMV^ri^ade by Messrs. C. TWardf?w, I.. E. Campbell, Rev. A. P. Nicholson and Mr. D. H. Russell. Mr. M. E. Mitchell presided and introduced I the speakers. A very fine dinner was j served, and the good citizens of that com I munity saw that no one present was I slighted when the baskets were opened. That section can't be. excelled for hospi? tality. The Broadaway Sunday School is superintended by Mr. J. R. Campbell, and Is in a flourishing condition. Roth old and young take considerable interest in the School, and are doing a good work The Pioneer Steamer,'which was in I jured during the recent Tournament, has been thoroughly overhauled at R. F. Div ver's machine shops, and is now in a bet? ter condition than it has been since it first came into the possession of onr Fire De? partment. Last Friday eyening the steamer was brought out for trial and threw a stream 225 feet. It will be re I membered that the Athens steamer won I the prize during the Tournament and only threw water a distance of 167 feet. The Pioneer Reel Team were also out during the trial of tbe steamer, and, after being I photographed, made several fine runs, beating their record during tbe Tourna? ment. The Pioneers have a fine team, and if tney will continue to practice will yet be the champions of the State. I The Saluda Baptist Sunday School In I stitute met with the Belton Church on Tuesday, July 10th, and continued in ses? sion three days. Tbe meeting was one of harmonious unity, and was conceded to have been one of the most enjoyable and, it is hoped, profitable of any of the former sessions. An excellent programme had been arranged. Nearly all of the speakers were present and fulfilled most accepta? bly their allotted.parts on the programme. It is worthy of notice that the speeches j were of a high order, such as reflect great I credit upon the participants and Churches which they represent. Rev. M. McGee, who has faithfully served the Institute as President for the past four years, declined re-election, and Rev. D. Weston Hiott was chosen as his successor. The homes of the citizens of Belton and vicinity were thrown open to the delegates and visitors. The Institute adjourned to meet with Hopewell Church on Tuesday before the fourth Sunday in July, 1889. Last Thursday afternoon it was our privilege and pleasure to visit the vine? yard of our townsman, Mr. T. M. White, which Is situated just beyond the north I western poition or the city limits. We I went in company with Mr. White, who I kindly escorted ns over the vineyard. I We had heard much said about this vine I yard, and when we went and took a view of it we came back impressed with the I fact that what we heard was not an exag I geration. The vineyard at present covers about 2$ acres, on which there are 1700 vines, of the Concord variety. The vices are three years old, and this is the first year they have borne fruit. The vines are as full of fruit as they, can possibly bear, averaging about 65 bunches to each, with no appearance of rot or other dis? eases. They will begin ripening in a few days, and will be ready for market about the 1st pf August. The vineyard Is reg? ularly laid off, the rows being from eight to nine feet apart, and the vi n es about six feet. Mr. White is thoroughly posted on grape culture, and is partial to tbe Con? cord variety. He says' this variety is better adapted to our climate and soil, and that it is less susceptible to disease. Last Spring he put out 421 new vines, I every one of which is living. His vine I yard so far has not been of muoh expense ] to him, and he proposes to add to it from year to year until it will cover about 28 acres. He says there is mouey in grape culture, and if more of our farmers would go into it, it would add considerable wealth to our country. It is certainly a grand sight to go and. see Mr. White's vineyard. If any of our farmers contem? plate starting a vineyard, we advise them to visit Mr. White's and hoar him talk on grape culture. In company with our young friend, M. M. Mattisou, we spent a few hours very pleasantly last Sunday at Lowndesville, and while there were the guest of our you.^g friend, Charley Baker. Our only reg *t is that our stay there was so short. W< ittended service at the Presbyterian Ch'tN/ch, but bad to leave before the service was concluded. Lowndesville is improv? ing considerably, a number of new build? ings being in the course of erection. The railroad is developing that whole section of country, and the people are prospering. Tbe seasons have been favorable and the crops are doing well. We fell, into the hands of Editor Baker, of the Advertiser, and spent a pleasant hour at bis hospitable home. He has one of the prettiest houses In the town. There are now six busi? ness houses in the town, and all of these are doing a good business. Our stay was so pleasant that we have promised our? selves to make a moreextended visit there again at some future day. Fork. The health of the community is good. Our farmers are about done laying by. The schools of this township have been reopened. W. & MoGowan, Esq., visited this community during the past week. An effort is being made to raise a Knights of Honor Lodge at Townville.. A regular weekly prayer meeting has been inaugurated at Townville, in which the different denominations work in con? cert, and much good is likely to be ac? complished. Mrs. Anna Harris, a very aged lady, probably eighty, and relict of the late Capt. Joe. Harris, died at her residence near Townville on Monday, the 9th inst. Under the weight of age and infirmities, the deceased had been gradually sinking for somo time past; and, consequently, her death was not unexpected. She had been a member of the Presbyterian Church since early life; and, as such, she had ever exemplified the highest type of Christian character. On Tuesday her re? mains were buried in the cemetery at Townville, Rev. T. C. Ligon conducting the funeral services. Died, of typhoid fever, at his home near Martin, Gal, on Saturday, the 7th inst, Mr. William Campbell, aged 33 years. Mr. Campbell was formerly a citizen of this Township. He was also a consistent member of Double Springs church in this community, to which place his remains were brought for interment on Monday after his decease. It has been intimated in certain quar? ters that only fools and fanatics voted for tbe Murray prohibition bill. Be that as it may, we desire to state that if such be tbe case, the Fork people are a full-blooded race of fools and fanatics, inasmuch as tbe white vote of this Township in the elec? tion of August last was almost solid for prohibition. Nor are we ashamed of our reoord. We practice what we preach. The morals of our people are good. A drunk man is rarely seen, and profanity is seldom heard in this community. We also believe that our religious status will compare favorably with that of any other section of our community. Our pulpits are occupied on every Sabbath day by able ministers, whose minds and hearts, at least, appear to be imbued with the spirit of piety, and there are probably no fewer than five hundred of our young people that regularly recite Sunday school lessons. Almost all of our young men and women, be it said to their oredit, are members of some branch of the Chris? tian church. H.nce it may be inferred that our record is cot such that we need be ashamed of it, aud, if such is evidence of the fool and fanatic, we will only add: God speed the day when our whole country shall be filled with them. The pic nie at Maret's Spring on Satur? day was a pleasant occasion, and was highly enjoyed by several hundred peo? ple. The young people, tbe old folks and the little ones came hither bent upon making the occasion an enjoyable one; and in this their anticipations were fully realized. In tbe forenoon beautiful Sun? day school addresses were delivered by Revs, J. R. Earle and L. W. Leathers, and Messrs. M. P, Tribble and E. M. Rucker, interspersed with delightful songs by the happy school children. At noon the good things were spread out in wild profusion ?a feast, indeed, that was highly credita? ble, even to good ladies of this communi? ty. The afternoon was spent in various ways. The merry children sported in the meadow, gambolled upon the hills and played in the branches. The young people arranged themselves into pairs, and scattered far and wide upon the grounds, and, then becoming oblivious of all sur? roundings, each pair seemed to hold the closest communion. Tbe old folks in self-defense betook themselves to the stand, and called upon the various candi? dates to speak. The call was responded to by Messrs. Rucker, Bolt, Hutchinson and Vandiver in short and appropriate fpeeohes, after which the ctowd dispersed, and with seeming reluctance, turned their faces homeward. Vox. Denver Items. Sandy Springs Sunday School observed ''childien's day" Saturday, the 14th inst. All those in attendance seemed to enjoy themselves so well, that we append the programme. The exercises were opened with prayer by the pastor, Rev. N. B. Clarkson, after which the school joined in singing, when the following programme was gone through, viz: "Scripture Recitations" by class. "Power of Love." Recitation by MaudeDonlhlt^ ^^foetical Pearls." Recitation by class of nine boys and girls. Music. "Questions and Answers." Recitation by Lillle Elrod and Hattie McWhorter. "Appeal for Sabbath School." Recita I tion by Myrtie McWhorter. "Parody on the Declaration of Indepen? dence." Recitation by R. E. Jolley, D. L. Reid and H?N. Garrison. Music. "Child of the Church." Recitation by Manson Jolley. "How shall I come to God?" Recita? tion by Maude Douthit and Hattie MoWhorter. "Character of Christ." Recitation by class of thirteen boys and girls. "Inquiry." Recitation by Bessie Mc? Whorter. Music. "What is Wisdom?" Recitation by Hattie McWhorter. "Missionary Money." Dialogue by Gus. McPbail and Robbie Burns. "Valedictory." Recitation by Margie Major. Music. After an interesting address by Rev. R. A. Childs, the school took recess for din? ner, which was enjoyed by all present, candidates included. On reassembling music, followed by an address from Mr. C. F. Jones, com? pleted tbe day's pleasures. Fair hands had tastefully decorated the church with evergreens and beautiful pot plants. Much credit is due Mr. W. A. G. Mc? Whorter, the energetic superintendent, for the success of the occasion. The young ladies of the church, led by Miss Carrie Watkins, with commendable energy and perseverance have just suc? ceeded in having blinds put to the win? dows, and the floor carpeted. "Nothing succeeds like success," and when the Jroucg ladies take hold of an enterprise ike this, success is sure to crown their efforts. The cool shade, the mineral water, the rugged scenery, the sportive fish in the {?ond close b}', all combine to render Jol ey's spring an attractive place for the old, the young, the sick, the well, the hot, the dry, those in love, those out of love, and candidates, to while away tbe hot and sultry summer hours. The pic nie there last Saturday was a most enjoyable affair. A large attendance, a sumptuous dinner, good cheer and sociability combined to make the occasion pleasant. Several candidates were present, including one for Solicitor. Mr. J. L. Glenn exhibited a new pat? ented cow-hitching apparatus, intended to supply a long felt want in grazing stock. In attempting to cross the railroad on Felton's bridge, tbe wife and daughter of Isaac Struth (colored) had some racy experience with a mule last week. The driver thought to lead the mule across instead of driving it, and caught the lines behind tbe rings and got in front of the mule. Consequently the more she pulled one way, tbe more it pulled the mule backwards, till finally buggy and mule went backwards in the railroad cut, about fifteen or twenty feet deep. The buggy is a wreck, but the mule is not the worse for the fall. A very nice rain fell in this section last Sunday, but the "clay soaker" has not come yet.

It is hoped that by September 1st, at least, it will be ready for occupancy. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Wroten, assisted by the venerable Rev. Mark Boyd, of Newberry, is conducting a series of meetings et the Methodist Church. We trust much pood may be accomplished. Mrs. Henrietta Poore, wife of Mr. D. B. Poore, died from typhoid fever, in Co? lumbia, on Friday, the 13th inst. Her remains were interred iu the Baptist cem tery on last Sunday, aftor appropriate funeral services by Rev. Chas. Manly, D. D. She leaves a husband and one child. Judge James R. Brown and wife, of Canton, Ga., are visiting Mrs. Anna D. Brown. The Judge is one whom Georgia delights to honoi, and it affords special pleasure to have hi9 distinguished pres enco. Mrs. Emma McColloujih, of Darlington. S. C, Is visiting her father, Mr. G. W. McGee. The town of her nativity always extends a cordial welcome to its worthy daughter. Misses Lida Dean, of Greenville, and Minnie Smith, of Anderson, are visiting friends here. We would suggest an early visit again to us for the purpose of sooth? ing and healing the aching and lacerated hearts. They are charming young ladies, whose visit shall always bring pleasure. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. McGee, and the Misses Benson, were de? lighted to see them in town last week. 9 Twlggs Items. This section was visited by several good showers on last Sunday. Crops look re? freshed and so do the farmers. A few more days work in the cotton and other side crops and the plow and hoe will be laid aside for a while. Some of our fanners have commenced making preparations for sowing turnips. The Churches and Sunday schools in this section had small congregations on last Sunday on account of the rain, though the pastors were all at their posts. The school at this place is full to over? flowing, and now numbers over forty pu? pils. Mr. J. H. Simmons, our efficient teacher, is equal to the emergency and has every thing in proper working order, and will do some good work from now until the close of the term. Our merchants say that trade is looking up and they anticipate doing n larger busi? ness as fall approaches. Mr. E. C. Pruitt went down to Augusta the first of this week. Mr. J. T, C. Jones, the accommodating agent at this place, says that the travel by rail is increasing. Miss Ursula Wosmansky has gone on a visit to Abbeville and will spend several days with relatives and friends. Messrs. W. D. and J. B. Gray have re? turned home from a visit to Gwinnett County, Georgia, where they spent several days with relatives and friends. Mr. William McCiirry, one of our best citizens, has been dangerously ill, but is now convalescing.' Several of oar citizens contemplate at? tending the Military Encampment in Greenville next week. ?.The young men of our town speak of getting up a Base Ball Club at an early day. Several of our citizens will engage in brick-making when the crops are laid by. The demand for them will be good. Mr. G. W. Long will go down to Mt. Carmel in a few days with a force of hands, and engage in sawing lumber. Capt. Nathan McAlister, 83 years old, joined the Presbyterian Church at Good Hope the second Sunday in this month. The reunion and pic nie at this place next Wednesday promises to be a pleasant affair. After the beautiful showers of rain, we think the farmers should turn out with their families and spend one day in pleas? ant recreation. Capt. Bill Jones will super? intend the arrangements for accommodat? ing the crowd with seats and other com? forts. Omega. Eureka Items. I We are sorry to tell you that we are hav? ing some sickness in our community at this cime, Mr. R. B. Hamby has been un? able to work for the last few days, suffer? ing from cold and other unfavorable symp? toms. Mr. W. A. Geor has been confined to his bed for the last seven days from a billious attack and a severe attack of neu? ralgia. At this writing he is thought to be better. Also, Mr. Thomas Bewlan has been unable to attend to the duties of his farm for some time. We do not apprehend anything serious in any of the above cases. Something happened lost Sabbath after? noon at Eureka that has never occurred since our Sunday School was organized there was no Sunday School exercises. The Superintendent himself was absent. This is the first time he has failed in three years. What was the matter? Well, just at the time for all to begin to dress and start it began to rain, and continued to rain until it was too late. So it was not for the want of interest or punctuality on his part, but was owing to a providential arrangement for which we all feel thankful to the Giver of all good. Everybody feels cheerful this morning. Our growing crops present an unusual luxuriance at this time. Of course everybody knows that there is more fertil? izing power iu rain than iu anything else that can be applied to vegetation. We wish it was our province to report the pic nie at Broadaway on last Saturday. From what we hear of it from various sources it was one of Broadaway's happiest occasions. We wish also that it was our duty to re? port the exercises of the Saluda Sunday i School Institute, which held its meeting last week with the Belton Baptist Church and community. We .are happy to say that it was a grand victory. Among the other impressions that it made on our mind the following is not the least, which we hope you will admit to a place in your columns. Here they are : If our world is ever to-be^gn^hterieil ajidrcgenerated; if the predictions of the ancieTrt"'pT0ph4t? * are ever to be fulfilled; if the benevolent purposes of the Almighty in reference to our world are ever to be accomplished; if war is ever to cease its desolating ravages, and its instruments to be transformed into plough-shares and pruning-hooks; if self? ishness, avarice, injustice, oppression, slavery to sin and ignorance and revenge are to be extirpated from the earth; if the tribes of mankind are to be united in the bonds of affection and righteousness, and praise spring forth before all nations; if the various ranks of society are to be brought into harmonious association and united in the bonds of universal love; if the heathen and the Christian world are to be cemented in one grand and harmoni? ous union; if the moral landscape of the earth is ever to be adorned with new beau? ties and perfections, and the moral wilder? ness made to bloom as the rose: if the "kingdoms of this world are to become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Messiah," "the whole earth filled with His glory," and His sceptre swayed over the nations throughout all succeeding ages, these long looked-for events will undoubtedly be in? troduced by the universal religious instruc? tion in all ranks in everything that has a bearing ?u their present happiness and their immortal destiny. If, therefore, we refuse to lend our helping hand to the ac? complishment of this great object, we vir? tually attempt to frustrate the purposes of the Eternal, and thus prevent the present and future happiness of mankind; and while wo pray to the Great Lord of all to appear in His glory to men, and His name adored from the rising to the sitting of the sun, we only offer an insult to the Majesty of Heaven while we refuse to consecrate our wealth and influence to His service, and to engage in holy activity as ''workers together with Christ." We may legislate and unlegislate; we may punish crime to the utmost extent of justice; we may build thousands of churches, and endow all the colleges, universities and academies in the land with millions of dollars; we may compass sea and land to make proselytes, but if the foundations of human society is not laid in the literary and Bible education of all classes of the young, our most cher? ished plans will prove abortive, all of our moral superstructures will gradually crum? ble into dust, and "like a baseless fabric of a vision, will leave scarce a wreck behind."
