Charleston will have as guests on next Monday, the famous Gridiron's noted the world over for their big dinners, and fun, and pranks, with this club of pencil pushers will be a number of distinguished Senators. Charkston has made elaborate prep arations to "not do a ting to de Grid irons," and we bet two cents to a gin ger cake that when they leave for their homes they -6i1 be glad that they accepted Governor-General Hemphill's invitation. The "Grids" will be able to take back to their homes fond recollections of real, gen uine hospitality. The Spartanburg H rald threw a large bouquet in the shape of a nomi uation for Lieutenant-Governor at the editor of the Piedmont Headlight, and the same was received by Gen. J. L Stopplebein, editor of the Head light with muci modest grace-about like a proposal of marriage to an old maid. General Stopplebein has only re cently moved to Spartanburg from Summerville, and his short residence in that progressive city has already given him so much popularity that a local contemporary claims him as a son of Spartanbur-g, and entitled to the second highest office in the gift of the people. General Stopplebein has taken the bouquet fired at him by editor Gariington, to regale hin self with its fragrance, and invites the generous editor to come back later for an answer, as the proposal came "so sudden." The General Assembly will con vene on the 9)th inst, and the people are looking forward to our law mnak ers to do something to put a quietus to the everlastii.; liquor question. Whether anything will be done re mains to be seen. Some politicians are perfectly content with existing conditions because it gives them a a theme to harangue the people, but the people are tired of this constant picking on one string, and they ex pect, our- law makers to devise some plan which will give aspirants for of fice something else besides the liquor question to talk about. By permit ting the people to legislate the liquor business to suit their conditions, the question is taken out of the halls of the General Assembly, and matters of graver importance can be attended to more properly. If we could get the liquor question placed into the hands of the people of each county to determine for themselves, many: days of the session at $1000 per day would be cut off, and the money saved to the taxpayers. We do not know just what will be done, but we do realize that if the legislators are inI close touch with their constituezts, they know there is much dissatisfac tion among them in regard to the p~resent system of controlling liquor. A change is demanded and ought to come, but whether the present Gen eral Assembly has the courage to make the change will be known later. While our business men are ore paring for another year, it would oe well for them to consider the advisa bility to organize a cotton manufac turing establishment. It needs no argument to show that such an insti tution will be of great advantage to all of our business interests, and we feel satisfied that with the proper effoits, money enough can be raised at home, to induce capital from abroad to join with us. There is no sensible reason why 3Manning should be without a cotton mill, and it should be one large enough -to util ize all of the cotton grown in this county. Take the present cotton season, and see the difference paid for cotton in towns where mills are established, and those where there are no such institutions, and it is seen at a glance the advantage to be derived. There is only one way to get a cotton mill in MIanning, and that is for our business men to come together, and by a practical demon stration show their earnestness. If this is done we honestly believe, ground will be broken for a cotton vested. This town is no longer a little village, we are looking forward to a growth, and the amount of busi ness increase already had, is an index to the future if we but take the pro per steps. MAJOR LAND HAS CROSSED TH E RIVER. Died yesterday morning at his home in Foreston, Major C. S. Land, aged 66 years. Major Ceth Smith Land was born in Edgecombe county, N. C., Dec. 9, 1833, and came to South Carolina April 1, 1855. On January 3, 1861, as a private he was mustered into the service of the State in the company of Capt. John G. Pressley, Gregg's First regiment of volunteers, and was at the siege and capture of Fort Sumter, the 12th to 14th of April, 1861. On December 13, 1861, he became first lieutenant of Captain Byrd's company of Williamsburg volunteers, which formed a part of Manigault's battalion. Upon the general reorganization of the Con federate army in May, 1862, for ser vice during the war, he was elected captain of his company, which later became a part of the Twenty-sixth regiment of South Carolina volun teers. The Twenty sixth regiment formed a part of the brigade of Gen. Johnson Hagood and remained in camp at Church Flats, aiding to guard the coast of South Carolina until May, 1863, when it was trans ferred to the brigade of Gen. N. G. Evans, and ordered to duty at Jack son, Miss., where it became a part of the army of Gen. Joseph E. John ston, being marshaled to relieve the army of General Pemberton, then besieged in Vicksburg. Before reaching there Vicksburg. had fallen and the army retreated to Jackson, where the scatteied and depleted army of Johnston arrived on July 8th, footsore and famished. From the 9th to the 16th of July the 7,000 or 8,000 men of Johnston's army held the long line of intrenchments around Jackson against four or five times that number of the enemy and daily repelled every assault made upon them. It was here that the cool courage and soldierly qualities of Captain Land were displayed. By his excellent behavior under fire and his. acts of daring, he won the conti dence and admiration of the soldiers and officers of the regiment, and ever afterward proved himself one of the bravest of the brave. The men of his company idolized their captain, and all the regiment admired him. Of a stalwart frame and vigorous constitution, he was at home in the hardships and fatigues of the rough est campaign, always ready for fa tigue duty or the clash of battle During the war he was never in hos pital or on sick leave of absence. In March, 1864, the brigade was or. dered to Virginia. It was balted at Weldon, N. C., and sent to Kinston on the Neuse river to join General Hoke in his expedition against New Bern. Before the assault on the toun could he made the brigade was ordered in great haste to Petersburg to meet the critical movement of General Butler between the A ppo mattox and James rivers. On the 20th the brigade had a severc enr gagement with the troops of General Butler at Weir Bottom church in~ front of Bermuda Hundred, lasting all day. After this came the service in the trenches around Petersburg, lasting, as the siege did, fromr June 16, 1864, to April 2, 1865, during which time the besieged were under incessant fire day and night. Many passages of arms of a spirited nature occurred during this period, but the most noted event was the springing of the mine and the battle ensuing, called the battle of the Crater. Cap tain Land was conspicuous for gal latry in this bloody conflict, being twice, though slightly, wounded. For his conspicuous gallantry he was pro moted to the office of major of the regiment. Judge J. 11. Hudson of Bennetts ville who was lieutenant-colonel of the Trwenty-sixth South Carolina regiment, writes of Major Land as follows: "lie was possessed of great owers of endurance, was never sick, always ready for duty, andl was cheerful, contented and happy', a jolly companion, a gay soldier, a good fighter, a good disciplinarian; but kind to his men and jealous of their rights." As soon as Bushirod Johnson's di vision of decimated, routed troops could be got together, Major Land was placed in command of the skir mishers of the division and he con tinued marching and daily fighting until Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House, where the few an vivors were paroled. Major Land returned home and went to work to repair his ruined fortunes, and by dint of hard work and good management succeeded be yond his expectations. He for many years filled the position of comn mander of Camp Harry Benbow, U. C. V., of Clarendon county. Socially and politically he has ever borne himself well and impressed himself upon his neighbors and acquaint ances as a true man. H~e was mar i-ied Sept. 19, 1860, to Miss Mary Jane Tbigpen and they have three children living: John C. Ceth S., Jr., and Dora Ada, now Mrs. Charles M. Mason, of Foraston. Major Land took an active part in the redemption of the State from Radical rule, was county chairman of the Democratic party of the couuty, and was one of the party's wisest counselors. The people, appreciat ing his worth and his services, of fered several times to elect him to public office, but he declined and~ would not consent to accept any poi aition other than a place on the Con federate pension board, and this only, that he might aid in securing pen ions for Confederate soldiers. Major Land was kind-hearted anid true to his friends and a great help to the poor. His funeral took place this morning at Foreston, the town which he founded. \TANTED-Honest man or woman to travel for large house; salary $65 monthly and expenses, with increase; posi tion permanent; inelose self-addressed stamped envelope. MANAGER, 330. Cax Summerton Aofes. Special to THE TImEs: On last Thursday evening, the Summerton Dramatic Club played "Iferoic Dutchman of '25" before a large and appreciative assemblage of the people of our villiage and com munity. The club was especially fortunate in the selection of this com edy and in the acting of the several members of the club. And they are much encouraged by the kind words of many present. They play is such a good one, and has been so wc-l pre pared, that the club has decided to take it to M-iuning about the 12th ,f January and, later to Clarendon. Miss Mary Anderson has returned to her home after a stay of several weeks in Sumter. How's This!

Editor THE TIMEs: Please permit me space in the col umus of your invaluable paper to tell of the meeting of the Reformed Methodist Union Episcopal church conference at this place. This body of colored ministers which met here on the 13th inst. was the first of the kind ever convened at L'vke Citv. They were the most orderly set of colored ministers we have ever seen. The bishop, Rt. Rev. E. Russell Mid dleton, who was ordained by Bishop P. F. Stevens of the Reformed Epis copal church in Charleston, Decem ber 5tl, to the Episcopate, is quite a polite, Christian gentleman. He seems adequate to the task commit ted to him. le rejoices in the satis faction of being a Southerner and for this reason lie --laims that his church is entitled to the sanction and support of all Southern citizens. We had the pleasure of listening to a very practical and forcible discourse by him on last Sunday morning, Dec. 17th. His text was taken from I Cor., 4th chapter, 20th verse: "For the kingdom of God is not in the word, but in power," after wvich the fol lowing candidates were called before the altar and ordaiied: Revs. A. S. Boston, L. S. Coleman, W. C. Ker shaw, J. J. Mitchell, as elders, and Washington Wilson, J. A. Anderson, S. R. Thomas, deacons. After the completiou of a few minor inatters the usual resolutions of thanks were submitted and the ap pointments were issued, the Confer ence adjourned sine die. 3MER.

C., passed through Memphis last night. The bishop was on his way home to spend the Christmas holidays, and was return ing from the Methodist conference at Vicksburg. Speaking of the work of the confer ence and the progress of the twentieth century thank offering, he said that the conference had been well attended and was highly successful. A contri bution, he said, had been collected at the conference for the fund and he felt assured that the southern conferences from the church would make up their quota of $1,500,000. The present status of the fund was highly gratifying to those having the collection work in charge and the col lections were progressing at a satisfac tory rate. The bishop said that South Carolina was doing sier part nobly and that in the South Carolina conference the sum of $20,000 had been collected. CONSTA3LE KILLS A NEGRO. Pursues Hirn Through the Streets and Scares Shoppers. COLUIIA, S. C., Dec. 23.-Lawyers, Christmas shoppers and visiting coun try people heard lead whizz on Law Range yesterday and there was wild scatteration. Constable Bishop lost his head pursuing a negro charged with moving a crop under lien. He pulled his pistol and fired down the sidewalk. He chased the negro into a lawyer's office, shooting two shots in the office. The negro was caught and taken back into the magistrate's office. Soon after. wards he felt on his back and saw blood on his hands, then on his abdomen, and found blood there. He coolly told the magis' trate: "I am a dead man, please send me home to die in bed." This was done. He died last night. NEW TRIAL FOR JEFFERSON. Alleged Slayer of Captain Barnes Gets Another Chance. RALEIGH, Dec. 23.-The supreme court gives J. J. Jefferson, the alleged assas sin of Captain Calvin Barnes, from Wil son county, a new trial, on the ground that Barnes' dying statement to his lit tle son, "Ned, have Jefferson arrested," was supposition and not fact. Justice Montgomery, in delivering the opinion, expressed great surprise that the solicitor admitted the state ment. The new trial is granted on the further ground that the jury in its ver dict said "guilty of murder as charged in the bill," while it should have said of murder in the first or second degree. 31ayor After Detectives. SAVANNAH, Dec. 23.-Mayor Herman Meyers has issued an order that was rather startling to several members of the city police force, particularly to the detective contingent. Savannah has re cently been infected with fakirs of the worst sort, the kind that lay for their victims and tempt them with interest ing bait. Mayor Meyers sent word to the detectives that the fakirs must be driven out of the city at once, or the members of the detective force woald have to resign. New England Society Dines. CHARLESTON, Dec. 23.-The eightieth banquet of the New England society of Charleston was given at the Charleston hotel here last night. A large and bril liant company was assembled.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Dec. 23.-At Oak man, Walker county, a citizen of that place named Knox was shot to death from the darkness late last night while standing in the doorway of a restau rant. Two slugs of lead were fired into his body, one passing through his heart. Knox had a quarrel with three negroes yesterday and they :re suspected of the crime.
