PRESBYTERIAN'S ( ALL PASTOR. Call Extended to Rev. E. I). Kerr?It is Sot Yet known Whether He Will Accent. At a congregational meeting of Avel j leigh Presbyterian church, held on Sunday, a unanimous call to the pastorate of the church was extended to the Rev. E. D. Kerr. It is not yet known whether or not Dr. Kerr will accept the call. Mr. Kerr is now engaged in filling the pulpit of the First Presbyterian church in Greenville, in the absence of the. pastor of that church, and it is stated that in all probability he will not be able to come to Newberry before some time in September, should he accept the work here. Mr. Kerr is a native of Mecklenburg county, North Carolina; is a graduate of Davidson college with the degree of A. B. and of both the Columbia Theological seminary and the Prince| ton Theological jseminary with the ; degree of B. D. He is 30 years old and I unmarried.

Arthur Morgan, colored, was killed by Manus Gray, colored, on the Bynuni place, in the Maybinton section of the county, on Thursday morning at about 110 o'clock. ' Gray claimed the killing wasjpcciI dental. Other witnesses say Gray was quarreling with Arthur Morgan's brother, Cole. Morgan, and shot Arthur ! Morgan. The inquest was held by Magistrate [John Henderson, and Messrs. W. D. (Rutherford and Tom Gilliam were ; rfonirfiaoH ao cnppifll rnnstahles to j - bring Gray to jail. Gray was lodged in jail on Thursday afternoon. SHOOT EACH OTHER. Two Xegroes at Slighs Were Gunningfor Each Other and Each Shot the Other. Two negroes shot each other at Slighs on Friday morning. Sheriff ; Buford received word of the affair ! while he was at the reunion at Little I Mountain, and he sent Rural Policemen Williams and Peterson to Slighs. They arrested one of the negroes, An [drew Miller, and lodged him in jail. Miller had been shot in the back, but his injury was not very serious. The other negro, George Stoudemife, could not be found on Friday, but it is stated that he has been placed under arrest, having been carried to Little Mountain by Will George. Stoudemire was shot in the breast. Both negroes used shot guns. j It appears from what could be learned of the affair that there was bad blood between the negroes as the result of a prior fuss. | SABBATH SCHOOL CONTENTION. I Held Interesting Meeting at Due West. Some Excellent Addresses Were Delivered. . Abbeville Medium, 2nd. About fifteen schools sent representatives to the convention. About onethird of the schools were not represented. The people, of Due West showed their hospitality by the lavish dinner served, and showed their interest and gave their encouragement by 1 attending the services or the convention. Address by Mrs. M. A. Carlisle. Mrs. Carlisle spoke of teaching the children of the first three or four years in tl>e school. She explained in detail methods of enlisting the interest of these children, and of the Qpportunity of making permanent impressions and leading them to Christ. Mrs. Carlisle made a very touching apr^al for the adoption of the cradle roll in all schools, showing the results -A' -4. __ j V? S? rwf\P | U) 11. oulluus anu Ucujucis auu yi land pictures may seem to some of the ; older ones as hardly worth while, and perhaps as belittling the study of the Bible, but there was a time in our life for the drum and the rattle and the prize. Results are proof. The new methods in the primary department have justified themselves by their results. Address by Kev. J. >V. Carson. I believe there is nothing of more importance to the Sabbath schools than the subject on which iVJr. Carson addressed the convention. He made a piea ror cne aaopuon in every scnooi of grades, and the advancement of pupils from one grade to the other on the same principles of the schools and colleges. He showed how this is practicable, and that it is necessary in order to raise the Sabbath school to its proper dignity and usefulness. COOL DAY IX AUGUST. .

The horse surreptitiously came upon the lawn after Sunday school had begun, and enjoyed the grass for soiie time. The Sunday school sang "God Be With You Till We Meet Again," just before closing. As soon as the strains of this sweet old song floated out upon tne still sunaay air, me norse pncneu up his ears. He had been on church lawns before, and he knew this song meant that the exercises were about to be concluded. He listened for a moment. Then he quietly walked off the lawn * and down the street, and waited for those r~~ in attendance upon the Sunday school to leave the church. As soon as the last one was out of sight the horse went back to the lawn and continued his grazing. NOTIFICATION OF WILSON.

On the 17th of July the westbound vestibuled train, the "Memphis special," one of the fastest and most important passenger trains on the South- x ern road, plunged down an embankment one mile from Vance, Tenn., and about four miles west of Bristol, in- ^ \ Stantly killing a mail clerk, fatally injuring another and seriously hurting ^ two others. Passengers who escaped uninjured ^ stated that the entire train, with the exception of the engine and the ob servation car, went down the bank and piled up in a mangled mass at the bottom. The flyer had left Bristol 20 minutes late and was running at high speed when the front portion of the train suddenly left the track and tore down the embankment, carrying the tender and Pullman- cars and piling them in a heap.
