The following were elected delegates to the Stale I uion which metes in Columbia tomorrow ii( 8.15 p. m.: J. Koitt, W. C. Brown, II. 11. Folk, R. T. C. Hunter. The following resolutions offered by Mr. J. L. Keitl were discussed, adopted and ordered* scut to State Union: Whereas, The producers of col Ion have been, and are yet a prey of cotton manufacturers, ana cotton gamblers, lo |lie detriment of the nation, and especially of the South, and, Whereas, It is within (ho power of the cot Ion producers through organized action to remove some of the causes that annually operate to depress the prices of col ton, Therefore be it resolved by the Fanners Union of Newberry county: 1. That a cuinulaffvo fund shall be raised by this union to be exclusively used for (lie manufacture of colton, for (lie purchase of cotton, and lo be loaned upon cotton stored in bonded warehouses, or otherwise satisfactorily insured.

Wolling, D. D., Pastor. A very warm day did not hinder tlie assembling of a good congregation at the morning hour. In the congregation was seen Mrs. ferry, tin daughter of one of Central's oldest members, Mr. Smith Livingston Mrs. 'erry is now an invalid, bound lo her chair by rheumatism, but over so she is cheerful and able one< more to take her place in the house of Cod. With appropriate illustration? the pastor spoke on (ho benefits of t rials. At the evening hour was begun the union service's to bo continued during the remainder of the summer on eacli j Sunday nigh.l. The attendance was i very largo filling auditorium and Sunday school room. The sermon was delivered by Rev. Kdw. Fulonwidei from the impressive text: "Prepare to meet thy Cod.'' It was a thoughtful and well prepared sermon and beautifully delivered. The attention on the part of (he audience was perfect and al seemed to lie impressed After the morning hour o beautiful solo was sung by Mrs. J. T. Kinard of Ninety Six. The singing during the day was very good, Mrs. Burr Marl in presiding al the piano. At I he union service Rev. Mr. Wright sang a choice selection in his best style, and Misses Lizzie and Minnie Salter pleased all with a sweetly sung duel. A ploasant and profitable occasion I' was. Marvin A. Best. Sunday morning fhis community was saddened by the notice of the sue! don death of Marvin (he oldest soi of Rev. A. II. Best. lie had beei sick for some weeks with the terrible typhoid fever but his case seemed te promise a safe recovery when sue! donly at 2 o'clock oft Sunday morning the end came.

LONG Resigns As Superintendent of City Schools Dallas?Goes in Publishing Business. From the Dallas, 'lex., papers it is learned thai Prof. J. L. Long lias resigned as superintendent of the city schools of Dallas. Mr. Lour- is a Newberry hoy, a son of Mr. J. Fred Long of this city. lie left Newberry nearly 25 years ago and after graduating at the l'eabodv school in Nashville, Tenn., went ot Texas where he engaged in teaching, filling various positions. Tn 189.T he was chosen superintendent of the city schools of Dallas and has filled the post ion with entire satisfaction. lie has accepted (he presidency of a large school book publishing company and will devote his energies to business. This conij-iny is located in Dallas and Mr. Long will continue to make his home in Dallas. The position which he voluntarily gives up pays $3,000 a year. RIGHT OF LEGISLATOR TO BECOME A TRUSTEE. Old Dispute May he Settled by Candidacy of Messrs. Richards and Mann This Year. The old dispute as to the right of a member of the general assembly to be elected from that body as college trustee and at the same time retain membership in the legislature will probably be settled next year. The last legislature elected as trustees of Clemson college Representatives Coke D. Maim of Oconee and . J no. (!. Richards, .7r., of Kershaw, jit was staled at the time that this might be in violation of the constitution hut (lie precedent of Senator ; rillman, who is trustee at Winthrop I college, was used as an argument. I Roth are now candidates for reelccition. Mr. Richards has been one of the leaders of the house and has the respect and confidence of every member. while Rev. Coke D. Mann was very popular and the vole given in | his candidacy for the position of trustee was very flattering. The older members of ihe general assembly who may be returned next year would regret very much to lose their services should the question be raised.?The State. There can be no possible dispute or disagreement as to ihe right under the constitution of this State. The i language is as plain and unequivocal as the English language can possibly he made as to the intention of the constitution. The provision is a wise one. It is not the question of holding two otlices but the propriety and the wisdom of a member of the legislature of Ihe State holding any other 1 position about which he is likely to he called upon to legislate. Hut here is the constitution. Read it and deter mine for yourself iJ. it is plain. You will see it refers to members of the ' general assembly. Now is Ihe position ' 'of trustee in one of our Slate colleges ' a position of profit or trust? If so then one cannot he ? member of the | general assembly and a trustee without violating the constitution he swears to uphold. ' Section 21, Art. Ill, Legislative De' part men I, says: 1 "No person shall he eligible to a scat in the (Jeneral Assembly while j he holds any olliee or position of ' | profit or trust under this State, the | I'nited States of America, or any of them, or under an other power, except ollicers in the militia and nolar' ies public; and if any member shall 1 accept or exercise any of the said disqualifying otlices or positions he ' shall vacate his seat." [ We do not see how it could be much plainer. ; CENTRAL SUNDAY SCHOOL. ' A Tribute to the Memory of Marvin A. Best, and of Loving Sypmathy to the Family. Marvin Rest is gone, and with sad hearts the teachers and scholars of Central Sunday school would evpress their deep sense of loss. At the suggestion of Mr. Jas. F. Epting, the superintendent, the school gave expresion to their sorrow, 1 and requested the pastor to write a 1 tribute of love to the memory of so faithful and devoted a member. Mar) vin was a member of the class so faithfully taught by Miss Eugenia ' Epps and gave all tl>? signs of a true ] Christian. When first taken sick his ' greatest sorrow was that ho could not go to take his place in the Sunday school and at Ihe church. I>ut now he is ti-listened to the "school of Cod on high" where ant gels and prophets and holy martyrs p will without doubt teach him Ihe T glorious things of Cod. In name of - Central Sunday school we would say: Farewell, until we meet. AT PROSPERITY. Spccial Services With Good Results. Brief Notes by Dr. Wolling Who Directed the Meeting. Invited by Rev. II. W. Whitaker, the devoted and etTcient pastor of Prosperity circuit, to direct a series of services in Wightman Chapel, J went to the town of Prosperity on Monday, 18th of July, and that night held the first service with a fair congregation. There are about seventy Methodist, members of this church, about half of these living in (he town and the others near around. The painters and workmen I found at work repairing, improving and beautifying the chapel at considerable expense. For some reason the attendance was never large at any except the night services, but a more devoted and attentive little band of Christians I never labored wtrh, and a most gracious spirit rested upon us from the first to the last service. Our organist was Miss Clara Gibson, n student of Winthrop and a devoted worker. She was present at every service. Mr. Crcighton Dominicl< and Mr. 1). M. Langford with his daughter, Miss Susie Langford, a recent graduate of Columbia college, took charge of the singing and rendered most devoted service. The members of (lie official board were present in force at every service. Mr. J. B. Bowers was one of I he earliest members of this congregation and five years ago, so I am rotel, he and his family and Mr. A. T. Dominick with Mr. W. C. Gibson and a few others made up (his congregation. The number is nnl yet large but they are devoted and willing, aiu^ growing every year. * Maybe in these brief notes 1 shall omit some worthy names which should enter into (his list of worthies, but 1 must nol leave out the name of my friend and brother Jas. P. (Juartlebaum al whose nice home T M-as served a beautiful tea and who with liif fine turnout gave me a pleasant ride and showed me the sights of Prosperity. Though a busy man, like many others, he did not miss a single service and testified to his pleasure and profiting from the exposition* of God's holy word. The subjects used In the series were as follows: Be ye also ready Belief is an act of the will; Propara lion for service; Repentance; The te\s ting of our faith; Lecture on Brazil What God can elo for us; The pear of great price. These were presentee in order besides many minor, but stil important, questions of life and ex perience which were explained ane enforced. Rev. Mr. Krcps of the Lu thoran Church and Rev. Mr. Caldwel of I he A. R. P. church were present showing their sympathy and interest The closing service was full of in terostj manv testifying with dee| feeling of the blessings received dining (lie meeting. Among these wa Rev. Mr. Caldwell wfio spoke touch ingly of his interest in Ihe commun ity, of the good done and of his e>wi experience. And thus another page is writtci the life's brief slor.v; Ihe work i j done and Ihe results will follow. Miss Ethel Bowers Eentertained. I Balesburg.
