Wednesday, October 9, 1889. Important Announcement of the Young Men's Clristiau Association. S CHARvLESTON, S. C. Oct. 1st, 1889. At the State convention of the Young Men's Christian Association, held at Greenville, S. C., last April, it was re solved to divide the Associations of S. C. into four districts, the respective headquarters of each to be located in Charleston, Columbia, Newberry, and Greenville. The object of this move ment is to bring the Associations of the State into closer contact and sym pathy, through the close oversight and systematic visitation of a District Committe, all of which work is sup plementary to the State work and is intended to aid it. Upon invitation from the Walter boro Association, the committee has decided to hold the first Convention of this District at that place, and the time agreed upon is November. 22-24. Delegates will be entertained during the sessions of the convention by the friends of the Walterboro Association. : Topics and speakers, with pro gramme and specific particulars will be announced in a circular, which we hope to issue not later than Novem ber 5th. It is expected that reduced rates can be secured on the railroads. The territory of the district is not large and the expenses of attendance will not be great, so me are therefore, encouraged to look for large delega tions, even from small Associations; and it should be remembered, that the larger the number of delegates, the greater the benefit that will ac crue to each Association. The District Convention will be conducted similarly to the State Con - v4 ion, but in the selection of topics and in all the discussions, special at tention will be devoted to the work in small towns. We will endeavor to secure good speakers for the occasion. The Charleston District embraces the counties of Charleston, Berkeley, Georgetown, Horry, Williamsburg, Colleton, Clarendon, Orangeburg, Aiken, Barnwell, Hampton, and Bean fort. The following Associations have been reported to us: Charleston Citadel Academy, Lake City, Orange burg, Walterboro, Allendale, Centre ville, and Cottageville. If others ex ist, we hope they will be reported to us at once. All pastors and Christian young men in localities where no Association exists, are heartily invited to attend and contribute their presence and encouragement towards making the convention a success. We trust that 'every -Association will join in pleading at a throne of grace, that the convention may be in teresting and profitable; but, above all, that it may be accompanied with great spiritual power, and that to all who attend, there may be given a re newed and earnest desire to labor more zcalously for the salvation of our young men. Sincerely yours, JAMs DauNGe~x, Chm'n, Charleston. A. T. Jaensos, Sec'y, Charleston. Famx F. W BHIDEN, Charleston. C. G, D.rza,~ Orangeburg. W. B. GRUJBER, S. W. Nalsox, - Lakce City. The man who boasts that he is ready to shed his last drop of blood is apt to be particular obout the first drop. The Lake City Weekly says: "Col. McCutchen harvested his prize acre of corn last Saturday. We understand that it yielded 79 bushels and a few ,quarts'" An)Illinois man has been sent to -the 'peniteatiary for returning his property at less than its market value. If this proceedure were adopted in South Carolina, our prison population -would overrun the State. On September 11, while Mr. J. R. Riddle and his wife, 6! Clyde, Dar lington county, wvere cutting hay, the latter was bitten,'tear the ankle, by a huge rattlesnake. Every effort was made to save her, but in vain for she passed peacefully away after lingering about twenty hours. The snake was four and a half feet long and when killed eight rattles and a button were found upon it. The bill to establish an industrial -school for girls has passed the Geor gia House of Delegates and will prob ably pass the Senate. The bill to .open the State University to girls fail ed to receive a constitutianal majori ty in the Senate, but the rote was re considered, and the bill is still before that body. The friends of woman's educatioin are in a majority in the Geor gia Legislature, though some of them object to co-education of male and fe .male stadents in the University. The Queen Regent of Spain is sim ple in her manners and is slowly re -laxing the~rigid etiquette of the Span ihcourt. Formerly it was impossi ble to smoke before the Queen. At a recent court dinner, however, she or dered cigars to be produced. Every b.ody was astonished. and no one seemed inclined to take the first step. The officer of State next the Queen h.eld the silver basket containing the eigaLrs, but did not know what to do wvith them. Finally the Queen took .one, lighted it, and said: "Pass around .thc cigars, gentlemen." The accumulation of wealth in the liands of a few, and the increasing poverty of the multitude is ominous. By such conditions many nations have perished. Egypt fell when three per cent. of her population owned nine ty-fve per cent. of her wealth. Baby lon went down when two per cent. of her people owned all the land. Per sia's glory departed when one per cent, of her people owned all the land. When Rome fell 1800 men owned the known world. 'What is our case? In 1830 the capitalist of this country owned thirty per cent. of the national wealth; in 1840, thirty seven per cent.; in 1850, forty-five per eent.; in 1860, fifty-seven per cent.; in *1870, sixty-five per cent.; in 1880, sev enty per cent.; and in 1890 they will .own not less than eighty per cent. c f the wealth of the country.

In an old book written by a West ern Congressman, a contemporary of Clay and Webster, containing remi niscences of his times, a story is told of one of his friends, a farmer in Ken tucky named Payne, who had six daughters none of whom was blessed with beauty. The Congressman knew them in their homely youth, and when he returned a few years later, found them all married to good influential men. So great was his surprise that he ventured to ask their father why they all had been so sought when oth er girls remained neglected. The old farmer chuckled. "Yes, and you may say when they had neither dower nor good looks. Well, I'll tell you. When I want my cattle to eat buckwheat stubble in stead of grass I don't drive them into that field. I fence it off from them! They are so contrary that they always want the things they can't get. They break down the fence, I drive them 'out and put it up. By the time they fight for it once or twice they think. they like the stubble. "Well, I saw my girls weren't the most attractive kind, and-I fenced them in ! "You never found them in hotels dancin' or keepin' stalls at county fairs. Young men to know then had to come to their father's house. When the neighbors saw how the Payne girls were kept apart from the crowd they thought their value must be high. Young men came to break down the fence. They like to break down fences." "The story was coarsely told, per haps," adds the old narrator. "But there is more in it than meets the eye."-Youth's Companion. A Catholic Priest Sentenced to be Hanged for a Nameless Crime. RBLEuG, October 5.-The Catholic priest, Father Boyle, was convicted in the Wake Superior Court to-night, of the charge of criminal assault on Miss Whitaker. The jury had the case four hours and did not bring in a verdict till midnight. The crime of which Boyle is convicted 'was com mitted last May. He was sentenced to be hanged on November 29. He made a short statement to the court, and bitterly denounced sevepal gentlei:en who had acted as counsel for the prosecution. He was cool and composed to an astounding degree, and smiled immediately after the sen tence was pronounced. THE GREATEST ANTI-PERIODIC ~ Known to the medical profession is quinine, the base of which is the Calisaya bark of commerce. This bark is gathered by the natives of South American countries and exported to all paits of the-world for the manufacture of quinine. "The servant is not greater than his master," and it stands to reason that the extract has not the cura tive powers of the original. There is no more effective remedy for malarial disorders known to the world than Dr. Westnore land's Cahsaya Tonic, which contains a suf ficiency of the purest bark, and all disor ders of the system arising from a diseased liver readily succumb to its influence. This great medicine is for sale in Manning by Dinkins & Co., and in Foreston by Dr. L. W. Nettles. The Pension Fund Exhausted. The State has not saved much by making stricter rules for the allow ance of pensions and decreasing the payments. The number of applica tions approved and pensioners paid during the fiscal year just closed was 1,952, only 73 less than last year un der the old law. The appropriation of $50,000 was exhausted by the pay ment to each pensioner of $2.40 in September instead of $3, the sum al lowed. "Tommy," said his mother, "you must ziot interrupt us when we are talking about the nice work we can do on the light run ning New Home Sewing Machine. Just wait till we stop." "Yes'm," said Tommy, "but you never stop talking about it." Extremely Polite. A balloon which went up from a ircus near Montgomery several years ago sailed away eight or ten miles and came down in a field where some negroes were plowing. Terrified at the spectacle of a chariot coming down from heaven, they verily be lieved that the last great day had come, and remembering all their short comings fled in terror at the approach of the awful judge. One grayheaded and rheumatic old negro was unable to get away. He could follow the plow but could not run, and the chariot came down upon him with terrible swiftness. In that awful moment his whole life rushed upon him, he thought of all the petty sins he had committed, and the ghosts of a hundred chickens seemed to rise up in judgment against~him. But in that desperate emergency his mind did 'not desert him, and remembering that politeness always counted with his earthly master, he quickly decid ed to greet the great Lord of heaven and earth in becoming style. As the mronaut touahed the earth and began to untangle himself from the meshes about his car, the old darkey with an air of profound obesiance removed the wool hat from his shiny pate, bowed low, and said with pious uncion: "'Moi-nin' Mars Jesus, how you lef' your pa ?" Mrs. Cleveland in Marble. ~WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-A beautiful white marble bust of Mrs. Cleveland, upon a pedestal of black and white marble, is at present occupying a cor ner of Mrs. Wilson's drawing room. It was left in the ex-marshal's charge when Mr. Ceveland went to New York. The bust is life-size, and is the work of G. Seank-i, Genoa, and bears date 1886. It was made from impres sions taken when, as Miss Folsom, she travelled in Europe. The marble rep resents the head and shoulders, show ing the chest midway. The hair is dressed in the style that is now famil iar to the public as that wcrn in the photographs extant of this popular lady, in a coil on the top of the head. The features are idealized, and the form is slight. The drapery is a knitted undergarment made with square opening at the neck, edged with Hamburg trimming, and a knit ted shawl falling frona the shoulders in a roll forms the edge of the bust. The statuary will be sent to Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland as soon as they are lo ated in their Madison avenue house, near 69th' street, New York city. $18 cash will buy a beautiful new Singer sewing machine, with all the iatest attachments and improvements. Williamsburg News. [bagstree Record.] We learn that the citizens who are inter ested in the matter, are building a bridge across Black river, at Bland's ferry, at their own expense. Mr. Marcus Benjamin, of Koenigberg, Prussia, is visiting his brother, Mr. David Benjamin, of this- place. They had not seen each other in twenty years until Mon day morning when the former arrived un expectedly. Kingstree has maintained its well known reputation for health this season. The doc tors say there has been but very little sick ness, and that of a nature easily managed. We only know of one white person dying in the place during the past year and he was a very old man. INHERITED BLOOD POISON. How many people there are whose distress from sores, aches, pains and eruptive ten dencies are due to inherited blood poison. Bad blood passes from parent to child, and it therefore is the duty of husband and wife to keep their blood pure. This is easily accomplished by a timely use of B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm). Send to Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, for book of most convincing proof. James Hill, Atlanta, Ga., writes: "My two sons were afflicted with blood poison, which doctors said was hereditary. They both broke out in sores and eruptions which B. B. B. promptly controlled and finally cured completely." Mrs. S. M. Williams, Sandy, Texas, writes: "My three poor afflicted children, who in herited blood poison, have improved rapidly after a use of B. B. B. It is a Godsend." J. R. Wilson, Glen Alpine Station, N. C., Feb. 13, 1885, writes: "Bone and blood poison forced me to have my leg amputated, and on the stump there came a large ulcer, which grew worse every day until doctors gave me up to die. I only weighed 120 pounds when I began to take B. -B. B, and 12 bottles increased my weight to 180 pounds and made me sound and well. I never knew what good health was before." Sumter News.

Beard and family left here on yesterday for Walhalla, at which place they will make their future home. Of late the Major's health has become so much impair ed, that he feels that only a change of cli mate will restore it. The negroes seem to think that the Farm ers' Alliance is a great institution. One of them when asked by a merchant of this city why he had joined the Alliance, said, that the Alliance had raised the price of cotton and lowered the price of meat. Mr. J. Rembert Harvin, after an absence of sevben years in Texas, has returned to Smter, where he will make his future home, and resume the practice of his profession the law.
