BACHMAN CaPEL LETTER. A Very Pleasant Visit to Bethlehem Church -Sayings and Doings of People of Union Academy Slighs, January 14 -It is a pity that the Legislature has to go in session without any special instruc tions. After Editor Aull gets his road bill through, wont they have a good time The September and October sow ing of oats is not seriously injured by the cold, but the last sowing is pretty well all dead. Prof. and Mrs. J. J. Hipp spent last Saturday night with the family of Mr. J. K. Epps. Miss Hannah Griffin, of the New berry cotton mill, spent Saturday night with her sister, Mrs. R. E. Hunter. Messrs. Clinton Kinard, who is working in the Newberry knit ting mill, and Nolan Epps, who is working in the dispensary, spent Saturday night aome. There will be communion ser vi cesat Bachman Chapel next Sunday. Mrs. B. B. Rikard, who was in strumental in getting up the sing ing class at Bachman Chapel. requests me to return her special thanks to those who helped in any way in the singing and also to Prof. J. J. Hipp. There is quite an improvement on the choir which is so helpful to divine worship. - When our people all get settled down I will endeavor to tell you where they have gone. It was our pleasure to go over, in company with Prof. W. K. Sligh, and worship with the good people of Bethlehem church on last Sun day. It has just been twenty-nine years, a week previous to this day since I had been to Bethlehem church. There have been many ups and downs, and changes of various descriptions since then, but still the old oaks looked familiar. The old church, which contained a large gallery, has been torn down, and a more commodious building takes its place. The graveyard then was quite small, and was not half filled with graves, but nov: it is as large again as it was then, and is filled from one side to the other with tombstones bearing the in scriptions of many of those blessed old people who worshipped there twenty-nine years ago. Our Lutheran preachers are a -very liberal set of people, especial ly with each other. The pastor, Rev. J. J. Long, called upon Prof. Sligh to fill his pulpit, which he did, preaching one of his usual good sermons. Beyond a shadow of doubt, Prof. Sligh is one of our ablest and most learned ministers. He will cope with any other min ister in -our UJnited Synod, and what makes his sermons more val uable, he is doing good kor the sake of good and not for the sake of popularity and selfish gain. After preaching was over, we went over to the parsonage with our freind, the Rev Mr. Long, and tookdmnner with the latter and his kind wife, 'md spent a few hours very pleasantly with them. This pastorate has a beautiful parsonage -everything is very don veniently arranged, which shows love and unity between pastor and people. Everything shows the church work of the Bethlehem pas torate is moving along, hand in hand. We are very much indebted to Prof. Sligh for a seat with hmi his buggy. Our school is moving upward six new scholars added to the en rolment making forty-tour. This too many for one teacher. There is going to be hot time i Newberry county thiis summer. T h expected candidlates have already begun to poke up their heads, atnd gree youwih a srdile Our policy I' Hon Are now at < and when prices riages, Wagons, Qux.ttlA has always been, to stand by our; friends, and a man who will not do this, is worse than no man at all. There were a lot of men in New berry, about ten years ago, who favored high lisence. It has come to them now and they are kicking like forty cats in a sack. If high license is good for the liquor trade,: it ought to be on other commodi ties; it is a poor rule that won't work both ways, though I am op-: posed to high licens in any particu lar. I am going to present some New Year thoughts, in my next letter, which I hope will be of some in terest to at least some of the read ers of The Herald and News. T. J. W.

Dr. Scherer is a most scholarly clergyman and an earnest and inde fatigable worker in the field of; classics, as well as in his pastoral duties. Dr. Scherer's book, "The Four Princes". was well received, and he has now on the press a book on Japan, which is certain to be as equally acceptable to the reading public. Narrow Escape.
