The third quarterly conference of the Methodist church in this place will be held next Friday evening at S81-2 o'clock. Rev. J. S. Beasley, P.EB., is expected to preach at 11 o'clock next Sunday morning. On last Friday evening a large crowd of grown folks and children assembled at the Central Hotel to at tend a birth-day party given by Miss Fannie Bell, in celebration of her twelfth birth-day. We think we can safely say that the evening was most enjoyably spent by all. The grown voung people danced and chatted, 'while the children played all sorts of nice gamnes. )liss Fannie was not forgotten by her friends, as the pres enits she received were both numler ouis and bandsome. "All went merry as a marriage bell" until about 12 o'clock, when the crowd left for their homes, all seeming well satisfied with the pleasures of the evening. Cot. Hudgins's Corn. Col. R. Ri. Hudgins has sent to our offie a couple of tass'els of his prize corn, each of w.hich will make corn. Neither of the tassels sent us, however, will make a quart. We pre sumne the Colonel sent us the smaller tassels, as he does not care to lose any nmore than he can help. The tassels are c'n exhibition in One Snake Swallows Another. Mr. H. S. Briggs, of Sammy Swamp, tells us that last week while walking in his field he saw a black snake about four feet long in the act of swallowing a rattle snake about half that length. The struggle fir life and death had taken place before Mr. Briggs arrived on the scene of action, and the black snake was leisurely enjoying the fruits of his victory. It took him about five or six minutes to finish his feast. Mr. Briggs will in the future kill no more black snakes. Two Mistrials. Mr. N. M. Johnson, of this place, swore out a warrant last week against Mr. W. J. Hurst, of Marion. for persuading and en ticing away laborers under contract. Sheriff Lesesne went to Marion for Hurst, and brought him here. He was tried by a jury before Trial Justice Benbow last Wed nesday afternoon, but the result was a mis trial, the jury standing three to three. The next morning the case was again tried be-! tore another jury, resulting in another mis trial, the jury this time standing one for conviction and five for acquittal. The case was then continued. B. P. Barron, Esq., represented Mr. Johnson, and P. A. Wilcox, Eaq., of Marion, Mr. Hurst. Mr. Wilcox was admitted to the practice of law only a few weeks ago, and this was his first legal case. A Narrow Escape. Rev. A. E. Torrence, the colored Presby terian pastor of this place, returned last Saturday from New York, where he had been in attendance on the General Assem bly of the Northern Presbyterian Church. Rev. Torrence had made an engagement to deliver a Sunday-school lecture in Johns town, Pa., last Sunday a week ago, and was on the train, on his way to Johnstown, that fearful Saturday of the Johnstown disaster. He expected to go en the train that was wrecked, but did go on a second train run ning a few miles behind this train. He got within five miles of Johnstown, when the conductor of his train received a tele gram, advising him of the flood. It was with great difficulty Rev. Torrence could get railroad connections to Manning. All the railroads were n.ore or less damaged by the floods. He returned by way of Wheel ing, W. Va., Philadelphia, and Washington. He had to crosthe' Potomac on a steam boat. It was a narrow escape. Mr. Tindal's Speech In Sumter. The Sumter correspondent to the Charles ton World, in writing about the commence ment exercises of the Sumter Eclectic col lege, which took place last Wednesday, says: -The address by the Hon. James E. Tindal was most spirited and exhaustive on the importance and necessity of a high standard of education, emphasizing espec ially it prominently in regard to female ed ucation, and the positive benefits of a relig ious training in connection with a literary and accomplished education, concluding with a few admonitory and congratulatory remarks to the students. The occasion will be a pleasant remembrance to all who had the pleasure of participating in the enjoy ments of the evening." - A Very Private Remark. Reader, we are greatly in need of money, to pay for our nqw press. We are using our best efforts to publish a good paper; will you encourage us? The amount you owe is small: one, two, three, four, five, possibly six dollars. If you can't pay all, send us as much of it as you can; frankly tell us you can't pay the balance nov, but will pay it next fall or earlier; and make us feel good by such words and deeds of en couragement. May we not hope for a ready response ? rBows Among the Disreputable. One night last week Lizzie Brown a col ored disreputable character of this place, was very seriously though not dangerously hurt by a visitor. She says that Henr Owens~1s the offending party, and has made an affidavit before Trial Justice Benbow, charging Owens with the assault. Lizzie had a chair broken across her head, and a clock was considerably damaged by comii in coe in twie ae and ewere out visiting some one went to the house and cut the y ard dog's throat When Pack and his wife returned, some one fell afoul of them. Pack received a gash across the top of his head, about thre inches long; his left ear was nearly severe:d from his head; a rib in his left side was broken; and one of the bones in his left forearm was broken. His wounds are sen os and painfu1, but not necessarily dan gerous. Lilly got a gash across the top of her head, a bruise on the side of her neck, and her left arm badly bruised. They both were pretty badl.y used up. It is said Pack is still confined to his bed. Lilly came to town Monday, and made affidavit before Trial Justice Benbow, accus ing W. H. Anderson, a section master of the Central Railroad, of the deed, and charging him with aggravated assault and battery. Tuesday Mr. Anderson was ar rested and a preliminary examination was held, but the evidence against hinm was so meagre and contridictory that Trial Justice Benbow dismissed the case. Lilly is one of the most disreputable, characters in this county, and was last week run out of the town by "white caps," for her grossly immoral and almost beastly conduct. Pack himself is destitute of all: that is noble, for living with such a character. It is supposed that some one was nause ated by their presence and gave them this nmeriful beating. While respectable people have no sympathy with the action of such characters, yet humanity and a feeling, of right and justice will condemn in strong terms the cowardly conduct of the person or persons who beat these poor unfortunates. If possible these violators of law should be! caught, and punished to the full extent of the law. Such conduct is a disgrace to a. civilized community. If the people .of; that community, or if any one person in ht community, felt aggrieved by th'eir conact, they might have either taken ac tion against them in the courts, or else have goe tthem and ordered them to leave the co munity. It is brutal and cowardly to take such. mean advantage of any one. Drowned at a Sunday School' IIW. Fwaxsex, .Tune 8.-The Methodist Sun day-school picnic which was given to-day at: Black Creek came to a sad ending. Freddie, the only son of Mr. W. Z. Net tles, an engineer on the Atlantic Coast Line, while in bathing with several other boys in: the creek, was drowned. Up to this writ-. ing the body has not been recovered. The creek will be dragged to-night. Chariie, a son of Mr. C, H. Newman, got. an arm broken by jumping from a wagon at: the picnic. The rest of the crowd got wet by a heavy rain. Florence Will Use Cotton Bagging. The largest meeting of farmers ever held; in Florence county was that of Monday last, when the delegates assembled to convene in' special meeting of the Florence County' Farmers' Alliance. The delegates came from' the furthermost limits of the county, and were representative and determined men, who did their work in so decided a manner* that the octopus jute monopoly will be crushed here. By special resolution, the following was. 'authorized to be published in the county organ, the Florence Tunes: Resolved, That the County Allhance of1 Florence county pledge itself to use cotton bagging exclusively, provided enough can be secured, and to use so much as the State Executive Committee can furnish. Rsoved, That the "ub-alliances be re-' quested to have all members give to the trade agent the amount of cotton bagging they will pledge themselves to use, and that the trade agent make arrangeme-nts with, 'the merchants with whom the alliance is doing business to order the amount pledged, or in zany other way they can best do so. And the trade agents of sub-alliances report. to county trade agent within ten days. There is nothing vague or uncertain about: these expressions, and they show that the: farmers of Florence county will not longer allow themselves to be under the ban of a: monopoly that would squeeze the last cent from them. The Times hopes they will win, THE ROLL OF HONOR. Below we publish the second batch of names on our HONOR LIST, who are paid beyond July 4th.

EDzron:-I was greatly relieved at seeing that the Manning corn man was heard from. 1 have had a great deal of anxiety about his welfare, as I have been hearing for several months that he was pregnant with a newspaper article, which it was feared would prove fatal. I hope the good fellow has passed the crisis, as he says himself he is in the land of the living, and I suppose he is, as I have never heard of a correspond ent from the land of the dead. When he fully recovers I suppose he will take his fshing rod, greasing it with gas oil, and re sume his search for the depth of his soil, and then he would confer a favor on the readers of the TDIES if he would give them the anecdote of his long eared cousin. NEw TIME. Foreston, June 10, 1889. Williamsburg News. [Kingstree Record.] The Farmers' Alliance, which met at Lake City on Monday, resolved to Tae bagging nade of cotton as a covering for the coming crop. Trhe farmers' heads are level.

One day last week MIr. J. W.- Hutson and ~r. Tyler Gaskins caught eight hundred ish in Lynch's Lake, at a point a mile or wo below here. This is no fish story but a rrozen fact. Warren Lee, a colored man living on M~r. Jos. MI. Cockfield's place, the other day lled a coach-whip snake which he says was between eight and nine feet in length nd about twelve inches in diameter.

White-and John Reid decided esterday to organize a cotton oil company ith a capital of $'25,000 in shaies of $50. Within two hours about $10,000 had been subscribed, and there will be no distculty, in securing the required amount. Last night about mnidnight Mfr. William M.

The fuse of this su~~ dah ws eneto f the lungs, the result of sittmng ine damp evening atmosphere. A heavy rain felt last T'hursday, and since then, the weather has been cloudy or showery, but the coldest ever known at this season. Fires are lighted generally, and those who have taken down their stoves are vowing that stoves will henceforth form a peranent article of furniture in their es ablishents. Dissatisfaiction about Petnsions. The Star, simply because it predicted last year the results of the pension law, does not allude to the law for the reason "it told you so," but because we wish to show how imuossible it is to make a law designed as thi's is and get the proper result. In this county the law has been abused shamefully, and as we said last week there are pension ers who are making at least ten bales of cotton a year, and live in afluent circuma stances compared with some poor widows who, because they were unable to produce the witnesses necessary on their applica tions, have to go without the small pittance of $3 a month. The board of examiners who passed upon these applications has no discretion in the matter at all. If the ap plication is proper in all of' its forms they are compelled to pass it, believing different lv at the same time, and these criticisms are in no wise directed at them. It is the law iself that we are attacking. MIr. Gi. Wash. B~rown is a one legged Confederate soldier, who came out of the war with nothing, but who bv industry, careful management and econoy has made a living and put himself in fair circums~tances. 2{e saw when the law was passed that he was excluded from its provisions if he kept his honor. But last week, after reading the list of pension es, he came to town and inquired if the law fd ben changed as he saw the names of men on the list who he believed were in fuly as good circumstances as himself and he thought if they co'ild draw pecnsions he could also. But wvhen told that there had been no change and shown the blank forms he unhesitatingly said that he could not make the application. It is government money and some of the pensioners may smoter their conscience with that thought, and that n ai'sel ufenrs dretly by it SUMMERTON NEWS. Railroad Matters-School Commence ment-Churches-Death-Other Mat*: ters. We have been having fine rains for the last week, and the crops are very much improved. The contract for grading the Eut aw ville Railroad from Summerton to Sumter has been awarded to Mr. Pringle, who will commence the work in a few days with two hundred con victs. The completion of the road to Sumter in time for the fall trade is expected. Wilson is making fine progress with his road. The children's missionary day in the Presbyterian church on yesterday was quite a pleasant affair. Address es were made by the Rev. Messrs. I Wannamaker and Oates. The singing led by Mrs. R. R. Briggs was very fine. The closing exercises of Prof. R. E. Mood's school will take place on the night of the 21st inst., beginning promptly at 8 1-2 o'clock. Immedi ately after the closing exercises of 'he school will occur the annual debate of the Carlisle Literary Society. The order of debate is as follows: President-J. Leighton Conyers. Query, Are the manufacturers of whiskey responsible for the evil thereof? Affirmative, W. G. Belser; negative, John J. Cantey. After the question is decided Mr. A.

Mr. Oates preached in the Presbyterian church in this place yesterday. He will preach again next Sunday at 11 o'clock A. M. Several of our young folks will leave here on Tuesday to attend the com mencement of the Sumter Institute. Mr. L. E. Edwards's wife died on last Wednesday. Mr. Edwards is a stranger in this neighborhood. He is I building the W. &. S. R. R. for Mr. Wilson. He has the sympathy of the community. C. Foreston News. FORESTON, June 11.-Having occa sion to go into the country yesterday I was agreeably surprised to see the crops looking so well. The prospect for a large yield is, I think, better than for years. Farmers are well up with their work, and crops in fine condition. Corn is being laid by, and pea planting now the order of the day. Around here everything is just out doing itself, crops, gardens, orchards, and indeed the people. A game of base ball will be played here to-mor row between the Forestonians and Greeleyvillians. The singers are now spreading themselves for the union meeting the last of this month. A picnic is talked of for the 4th of July, under the auspices of the M. E. Sunlday-school. Thus you will see the rains have greatly refreshed every person and thing. Oh! therprize acre. Well it is on a boom too. It is so black now one can hardly tell if it is corn or rice. We had services in the Baptist church on Sunday last by the pastor, Rev. T. J. Rooke. The morning sui jet: The well regaited household; Mark 13, M. The evening subject: Christ's love to man. Both sermons were favorably commented upon, and were very acceptable to our people. The Masonic Fraternity will hold their regular monthly communication this evening at S o'clock. The health of the town is good, the; Doctor says distressingly so. F. Sample Copy-Free. We send out a number of copies of the ImExS this week free.

The competitive examination, to be held Wednesday, July 3rd, at each County Court House in the State, for the appointment of State beneficiaries in the Winthrop School will include arithmetic, grammar, geogra phy, United States history, reading, writing, and spelling, and will be similar in charac ter to the usual county examinations. The successful applicant will receive the state appointment, equivalent to $150 for one session of nine months, and the one ranking second will receive the scholarship for tuition only, given by the Winthrop School to each county of the State. Provided both examinations are satisfactory. Thirty dollars of the $150 will go to the Winthrop School for tuition, text-books and the other necessary school expenses of the benefciary. The remaining $120 will be paid to the appointee to assist her in def ray ing her personal expenses, such as board, railway thre and the like. The students of the school will board at the Winthrop School Boarding House, which is under the managemnnt of an estimable Christian lady, who will do everything pos sible to provide the comtorts of a home for the . s e. p ace un'. e a care. Her charge for board, including fuel and liht, will be $15.a mcnth, or $135 for the entire session. This place is exclusively for the accommodation of the young wonmen of te Training S.ehool, an d is un der the super vision ofl the Faculty, and its hours conform to the daily program of the Winthrop School. A student may board elsewhere for special reasons satisfactoiy to tho Superintendent. Applicants for scholarships must be not less than eighteen years of age. The school session will begin September 25 and continue for nine months, closing in June. The students are required to be present on the opening day of the school. The Suphintendent will meet all stu dents at the trains. The graduates of the school are entitled to teach in the public schools of the State as! first grade teachers, without further exa mi-I nation. The design of the school is to prepare for teachers young women who already have a good education by training them in methods of teaching and school management. The studentteachers of the Winthrop School are taught how to teach those studies which they have pursued as pupils in good schools elsewhere before entering the Trainin School for teachers. The aim of the school is strictly professional. and only those pupils are wvanted who are ready to undertake the wvork with a feeling of persnal interest in teaching.

Southern Presbyterian General Assembly. The General Assembly of the Southern Presbyterian Church held its recent meeting in Chattanooga, ,enn., a flourishing city of 48,000 in habitants, which from its rail road facilities, and many other advantages, will doubtless in a few years be a place of great importance. The opening sermon of the assem bly was preached by the retiring Mod erator, Dr. J. J. Bullock, of Washing ton, D. C., after which Dr. Hill of North Carolina was chosen Moder ator. The meeting was a full one, with many able ministers and ruling elders, from various parts of the South. The sessions continued ten days, and much business was transacted. En couraging reports were presented of the work of the church, at home and in foreign fields., The-location for the work of foreign missions was moved from Baltimore, Md., to Nashville, Tenn. Dr. M. H. Houston was elect ed secretary, and Rev. D. C. Rankin treasurer, with a good committee. The same committees and officers were re elected for home missions in Atlanta, Ga.; for publication in Richmond, Va.; and for education in Memphis, Tenn. An important matter before the assembly, which occupied a good deal of time, was co-operation with the Northern Presbyterian Church. This was strenuously opposed by some, but favored and adopted by a large majority, but those on both sides of this question were agreed in their op position to organic union between the two churches. Another matter of lively interest came up in reviewing the records of the last meeting of the Synod of South Carolina, touching what is known as the "interdict of Charleston Presbytery." Synod condemned the action of that presbytery for three reasons. 1st. "As being a trespass upon the sacred and inalienable right of private judgment, which belongs to every court, and to all the officers and members of the church of Christ." 2nd. "As imposing restraint upon the right of freedom in the expression of opinion, which is unwarranted by the law." And 3rd. "As assuming the in fallibility of the General Assembly in the deliverance of judibial decisions, which is a doctrine foreign to the con stitution and spirit of Presbyterian ism." The General Assembly disap proved of this action of the Synod of S. C., "inasmuch as it appears from an inspection of the full records that the action of the Charleston Presbytery was not intended to limit either liberty of private judgment, or the constitu tional right of private discussion." Thus it appears that the assembly while disapproving the action of Synod is really not against it "on the great uestion of private judgment and free discussion within proper limits." Thirty-six members of the assem bly were appointed to preach on Sab bath in the various churches in Chat tanooga and its vicinity, amongst the number Drs. Girardeau and Woodrow of S. C., both hom were prominent and influentia mbers of the body, in discussing a'ous matters be fore it. A ve orable impression was made up ommunity by the assembly. Ash N. C., was chosen as the place of netra 'Presbyterian GeneraI Assembly. Three subjects of grave importance came before the general assembly of the Northern Presbyterians at their meeting in New York. The first was the question of union with the Presbyterian Church South, whose as sembly was at the same time in session in Chattanooga. This matter was left much a the question of uniting Canada and the United states has been left. Both as'sem blies were in favor of cordial co-operation. but not of organic union. The second subject was a very serious one, no less than the revision of the West minster Confession of Faith. Neaily 250 years ago this confession was adopted by the General assembly at Westminste'r. It has been the standard of faith ever since, to which each one joining-the Presbyte.rian church has subscribed. One of the articles f the confession of faith is that God has predestined certain men and angels to be saved in glory, while others are to be damn ed eternally, both merely because it was God's pleasure. For many years Presbyterians have b~een growing restive under the teaching, which is called the doctrine of reprobation. The same idea is variously alluded to under the name of foreordination, predestination and election. It was not a question of the in spiration of the Bible, or the faith in it, but a question of whether the views of the fath ers of the creed were suitable to the present age. At the general assembly, therefore, it was found that fifteen loyal and faithful presby teries out of 201 in the entire communion respectfully petitioned ior a revision of the creed and confession, particularly in regard to predestination and election. The aasem bly, as admirable tempered and able a body of ministers as ever~came together, decided, in the true spirit of repubhicanism, to leave the matter to the vote of the presbyteries themselves during the coming year. If a majority desire revision, it will be time enough to take action after this is ascertain ed. The two divisions of Old and New School Presbyterians have disappeared. The third serious question before the as sembly was that of tem .an#; the sel~ ves in favor general sympa thy w- Pu~n favor of total ab stinence. i'zm. ri..n)Xsed a vote in favor of constitutional prohibition.

Three Personis Killed in Accident Last Friday night while a vegetable train on the Charleston and Savani nah Railroad was running into. Charleston, over the Northeastern Railroad, the engine suddenly left the track, and went plowing along for a hundred feet after it left the track, tearing up everything and wrecking itself. The engineer Wmn. H. Dunning, the carsealer James F. Corcoran, and a boy Win. A. Duffin, were killed. The two men were about twenty-three years old, and the boy about fourteen years old. Two others on the train were badly hurt. The road was so badly wrecked that trains could not pass for seven or eight hours. A passenger train on the S. C. R. R. came near running in to the wreck, but was stopped a few feet from the wreck. The accident happened only a few miles from Charleston, where the roads run par allel. No cause is assigned for the accident. Wedgefield's Cotton Oil Mill. CoLVMBL, June 6.-Messrs. J. H. Aycock and F. E.

Old fip tnoon at FRicbv's ABOUT COTTON BAGGINU. A Circnlar from a Prominent Charleston Firm. Messrs. F. W. Wagoner & Co. have issued the following circular, which may perhaps be of interest to the cotton growers of the State: CHAnLEs'ro, S. C., June 7, 1889. Dear .Sir:-So many statements are being published in the papers on the subject of cotton bagging as a substitute for jute bag ging that a few plain figures, based on the actual market quotations, may be of use to practical men who wish to look at the matter in a business way. The average quantity required of 45-inch wide jute bagging per bale is 64 yards, or for a 7,000,000 crop 45,000,000 yards. The quotations to-day for 1-pound bagging (the weight generally used) are 8Jc New York, 8; Charleston, 9; New Orleans, averaging, say 8 cper yard; 45,500,000 yards at Sac cost......................$4,038,125 This at 1} pounds per yard, weighs 78,750,000 pounds, which sold, as cotton, at 9c is.... 7,087,500 Showing profit to the planter. ..:.$3,049,375 Cotton bagging as now made is 36 inches wide, and will require 8 yards to equal 61 yards of jute bagging. For a 7,000,000-bale crop this would require 56,000,000 yards, which at 12&c would cost the planters of the South ... ... .$7,000,000 At i-pound per yard this would weigh 42,000,000 pounds, which sold as cotton, at 9c would be.... 3,780,000 Showing a loss to the planter on a 7,000,000 bale crop..........$3,220,000 The actual difference to the South of sub stituting cotton for jute bagging would, therefore, be an actual loss on the cotton bagging of...................$3,220,000 And throwing away a profit on jute of.......................$3,049,375 Which is equal to 90c per bale, or.... ..... ...........$6,269,375 There is, besides, great uncertainty as to the suitableness of this thin -pound cotton bagging as proper protection of cotton against weather and dirt. and the great prob ability also that all cotton for export may, when it reaches the vessel, have to be recov ered at the expense of the interior seller. When it has been arranged with the mar kets of the world to take cotton at actual tare, it may be well, possibly, for planters to cover their cotton with cotton covering; but until this has been satisfactorily adjust ed the result of this new departure may prove to be a serious loss to the South, and it will be well for our people to go slowly until it has been postively established with 1 the trade as to this very important matter. We would suggest that the planters corres pond with the Cotton Exchanges, and, if possible, arrange to have tare of cotton coy ering determined. This will require time, but it is better to start right than, by taking the chances, to lose millions. The motto with our farmers should be: "Be sure you are right, and then go ahead," and they should not allow a prejudice to get the bet terof their judgments. Yours truly, F. W. WAGENEn & Co.

"Another wonderful discovery has been made and that too by a lady in this county. Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermin-. ed and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She bought of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption and was so 2nuch relieved on taking first dose that she slept all night and with one bottle has been miraculously cured. Her! name is Mrs Luther Lutz." Tfhus write W. C. Hamrick & Co., of Shelby, N. C.-Get a free trial bottle at Dinkins & Co.'s Drug Store. W. D. Sult, Druggist, Bippus, Ind., tes-! tifies: "I can recommend Electric Bitters as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold~ has given relief in every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured of rheuma tism of 10 years' standing." Abraham Hare, Druggist, Bellville, Ohio, afirms.; "The best selling medicine I have ever handled in my 20 years- experience, is Elec tic Bitters." Thousands of others have added their testimuony, so that the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure all diseases of the Liver, Kidneys, or Blood.

P ingle last Thursday for the grading of the proposed route from Summerton to Sumter. The distance to be graded is twenty-one miles. The work is to be pushed on at once, and judging from the rapidity and dispatch with which Mr. Pringle has finish-: ed other parts of the line it will not be long before a tine road bed has been laid between the points mentioned. The Eutawville Rail rad ranks high among the shorter lines of the State, both for the excellence of its bed, its stock and general equipmrent. Tnere are alreidy several ways of getting to the beau tiful city of Sumter, but there cannot be too many avenues of approach to such a charm ing and prosperous neighbor. Mr. Pringle will employ a force of about two hundred convicts and as many "free laborers" as may be obtainable, the object being to have the extension ready for busi ness at the opening of the coming cotton~ se ison.-Neu-s and &arier. * OY R POWDER ' :M Absolutely Pure.' i Sold only in cans.
