Considerable interest is being
manifested in Columbia over the
proposed visit of Mrs. Carrie Nation.
The "saloon smasher" will
hit there Thursday, of this week,
Oct, JO, and is scheduled for nn
addn ss at the Eau Claire theatre.
As the theratre was given its name
by a total abstinence party, it is
quite proper that the saloon smasher
should deliver a spoach nt that
pluce.

The legislature which will be
sworn in next January will be entrusted
witli the election of a number
of officers of State institutions,
but it is worthy of note that unless
something not now contemplated
should happen there will not. he a
single vacancy in the circuit bench
to tie tilled (iunnir tlie next two
legislative years. There will be one
vacancy on the supreme court
bench, that of Hon. Y. J. Pope,
but lie will in all probability have
110 opposition.
The fanners of this seel ion are
getting ready to sow their fall wheut
and already a number have begun
plowing their ground for that purpose.
It is said that if the weather
retuains dry a few weeks longer the
wheat crop will be much larger
than will be the case if there is
much rain during the next few
weeks. Most of the wheat raised
in this section is for home oonsumptiou
and only a limited quantity
is sold. The crop, however, of
late years has proven very remunerative
to the farmers.
A Property Owners' League has
been formed in Chicego for the
purpose of endeavoring to secure
legislation which will provide that
bniglars and highwaymen shall be
whipped at the post, in addition to
being sentenced to jail terms.
The whipping post has beer, abolished
in almost every part of the
United States on the irrniiiid that
it is a relic of!barbarism. In Delaware
they cling to the whippiug
post for wife beaters and certain
petty criminals, and claim that
the influence of the flogging is decidedly
good.
SottOR Mill DaRiagtd by Flrt.
Adout 3 o'clock this morning,
says a Chester special of Thursday
to the Charlotte Observer, tire
broke out iu the dye house of the
Springstein mill and went into the
beaming room overhead. This
building was entirely destroyed
And much damage was done to the
engine room and boiler house.
The dye'house is separated from
the main building by a narrow
passage, but the building was
saved by the prompt work of the
automatic sprinklers, assisted by
the Chester tire department, and
the mill employes. The origin of
tire is supjwsed to have been spontaneous
combustion in n machine
used for drying bleached cotton
cloth. The I0.-8 is estimated at
$75,000; insured in the Factory
Insurance association. Col. Leroy
Springs, president of the Eureka
and Springstein mills, of this
city, came over from Lancaster
this morning and will immediately
start the Eureka mill on night
worn in order to afford employ
mem 10 rh many rh possible of the
operatives who are thus thrown
out of employment. Rebuilding
will begin at once and it is hoped
that full operation of the mill will
be resumed by the 1st of January.
The tire is r misfortune ns the
product of the mill has been sold
several morutis ahead and the em*
ployes are thrown out of work at
uu unfortunate time.
, A Mn?h Ntariai Marrlafa Law.
The Rook Hill Journal suggests
that the next legislature ought
m to pass h marriage license law.
Such a law would piotect the
young girls of the State. A few
days ago a young man ran away
with aud married a girl only thir*
j teou years of age. It ought to he
a criminal offence for a man to
, marry a girl under eighteen years
of age, without the consent of the
uirl'e parents. Magistrates should
exercise more discretion than to
marry children, but as there are
no Ihwh to prohibit them doing so,
such marriages are of course coin:
mon occurrences. (July a few
' weeks ago there was a run-away
' match in this city, the bride was a
| mere child and now regrets that
she married. Let us have a good,
sound, substantial marriage license
law and make it so strong that he
who breaks the law will be made
suffer for it. Children should not
be allowed to marry under sixteen
years, with or without the consent
of parents.

The following item from the
Chester Lantern will recall to
memory the article published in

telling of the finding of hii infant
in an old warehouse-at Chester:
A gentleman came to Chester a
day or two ago from North Carolina
for the infant left in the
Southern Railway's warehouse recently.
Ilia wife is a sister of the
childs mother, who is now at his
home. The parties all live in the
same neighborhood. The parents
went to Columbia, where the child
was born. They came from there
here. The mother told the whole
story after she went home. She
said the man forced her to leave
the child, and threatened to kill
her if she ever divulged the matter.
The brother-in-law says the law
will be pressed against the seducer
of the girl as far as possible. Lie
will be prosecuted for breach of
marriage contract, and ou other
charges and will then be turned
over to the South Carolina authorities
to be punished for abandoning
the child. He is rather
wealthy and has always had a got d
reputation. The lady, who is
about It), is of good family and
has always stood high iu the esteem
of her neighbors.

The Rock llill district conference
of the A. M. E. Z. church of
South Carolina convened here on
me 'Z'itx iuntil 111, witli itev. F. Killingsworth,
D. D., presiding. The
coiivocaliou was opened with devotionul
exercises and a handshaking
reunion. >
Tlie pastors reported their several
charges in prosperous conditions,
spiritually and financially.
Rev. J. R. Beckham preached
the annual sermon, which was a
good and Htrong one, us was also
the address of Presiding Elder
Killingsworth, which was ably discussed
by a number of prominent
divines.
The district forms a part of the
great A. M. E. Z. connection in
America, Africa and the Isles of
the Sea. There are eight bishops
and a score of general officers, several
Bcliools and colleges, a well
organized missionary department,
also church extension and educational
departments. The largest
publishing house, owned and operated
by the race the world over, is
owned by thisohurch. The church
has n membership of more than
600,000 souls, 86 annual conferences,
all working under a uniform
and well regulated discipline.
The object of the church is to
fit the race for citizenship in any
government and ultimately for citizenship
in the coming kingdom of
our Lord. W. L. Lee.

The Catawba Power Company

the payment of $6,000, and the
latter has practically settled up all
claims held against it. A meeting
was held here Tuesday. Maj. .Ins.

and several others wero present.
The fact that the business is

is lurgely due to the efficient work
of the assignee nnd the agent of
the creditors. The creditors were
paid dollar for dollar. The assets
I were $6,000, the liabilities $4,500.
S. S. Ordway & Son had a coni
tract to do stonowork on the dam

Owing to disagreements between
the contractors and the company
