BACHMAN CHAPEL LETTER. A Visit To Newberry and The Lutheran Church-Two Marriages-Other Matters Of Interest. Slighs, December 17.-Last Sun day morning it was my privilege, in company with Mr. L I. Epting, to visit the home of our friend, Dr. 0. B. Mayer, of Newberry, and thence to worship with the Luther ans of the Church of the Redeemer. The Rev. W. L. Seabrook, the pas tor of the congregation,preached one of his usual good sermons. Rev. Mr. Seabrook is one of our ablest theologians. He never lacks for words and we have a right to be lieve that he is devoted to and ab solutely eoncentrating his energies upon the performance of the work he has in hand. This is the first time I have worshipped with his congregation since the erection of their new church. When I last worshipped with them their old church stood beyond Col. E. H. Aull's residence. It was a very or dinary building. The contrast be tween the old building and the new is great. To speak in brief, I am willing to say that I have found the model church. The interior is sim ply magnificent. A prettier aInd bet ter arranged church throughout it would be hard to find. On the right of the pulpit stands the large pipe organ,-standing not only as an ornament, for it fills the whole church with such melodies as captivate the hearts of all within its walls. Miss Susie Summer, the accomplished daughter of Mr. C. I. Summer, is the organist. She is a master of the instrument and it is a treat for a lover of nu-;ic to go to the Church of the Redeemer. This congregation has just finish ed building a beautiful parsonage, which stands about fifty yards east of the church. This makes the church equipment complete at a cost of a little more thai twenty thousand dollars. Where is there another congregation within the bounds of the South Carolina Luth eran Synod that his manifested such an interest in church work and that has made such improvements as this congregation has made in the past ten years? This church stands as a monument to Luther anism in Newherry county. I was pleased to meet many of my friends who came to me in the church an-1 gave me the hand of friendship and showed me that they were glad to have me with them. This, together with the good sermon, made me feel that it was good to be there. After service I returned with Mr. Epting to the home of D)r. Mayer and there spent a few more p)leasant hours. I love to visit homes where there is such hospitality as there is at P . Mayer's. It is a home of sm Thine, where happiness, peace, lov e and devotion are found. Dr. Mayer is not only a man with a broach mind, but he is a man with a big heart. Newberry has a right to feel proud of such a man. Mrs. H-. R. Epps has returned from a nmonth's visit to her dlaugh '.er, Mrs. S. A. Rikard. It is with regret that it is an ouncedi that Mr. J. W. Richardson id Mrs. Caroline Cook are ill. A wave of matrimony struck the ~. Phillips community this week cm Tuesday, the 15th, Mr. George eely andl Miss Nancy Lominick ~re married by the Rev. P. UI. E. rrick. Today, the 17th, at the idence of the bride's p)arenlts, Mr. IMrs. Bachman L omninick. Mr. n Wicker, son of Mr. M. L. ker, will wved Miss Vera Lomn , the Rev. P. [H. E. D)errick ting.

Much Of The Credit For The Caoture Of The Big Babb Distillery Due to His Efforts. The following account of the part taken by Constable T. B. Perry, of Newberry, in the capture of the big John Q. Babb distillery in Green ville county, with 2,600 gallons of liquor, is taken from the report in the Greenville Mountaineer of the prelimnary, as a result of which Babb was sent up to the higher court: It was a plain and simple piece of detective work, the credit of which is due to J. E. Lightfoot, of Orange burg, and T. B. Perry, of New% ber ry, of the dispensary force, who were sent here for the purpose of gaining the necessary information as to the illegal sale of liquor at a government distillery, which is not an easy thing to accomplish when the storekeeper and gauger is con nivimg at the illicit traffic, as was the case in this instance. Mr. Lightfoot is employed as a detective and Mr. Perry is one of the constabulary force. They came here to remain during carnival week and were ordered to report to Chief Hall, from whom they received in structions and went to work in get ting at the true inwardness of oper ations at thelBa b)l distillerv. Thanks giving day was chosen as the time for introducing themselves upon the scene of action, and under th le guise of being connected with the carnival, assuming the names of Jones and Horton, they found easy access to the confidence of Babb, who sold them two quarts of whikey for a dollar, and threw in the drinks be sides. Goldsmith, the colored store keeper and gauger, was present when they offered to buy liquor, and Babb said there was no need of concealment so far as Goldsmith was concerned, as it was all right with him. On Friday, Nov. 27th, the officers went back and bought liquor in the (lay time at the distil lery and at night at the Babb resi deice, where lie price was still 5o cents per quart. These purchases opened the way for the raid of Chief Hall and his associates on November 30th. A Card of Thanks.
