It will bring several hundred people more here to live. These will have to have bouses to live In, clothe* to wear and provisions to eat. Real estate will advance In price. There will be an In creased demand for dry goods and gro ceries, and there will he more of them sold. It will make the town a better t»>ef market and a better market for many other products too numerous to mewbon. It will keep thousands of dollars here which have heretofore been sent to the North. It will stimulate reery existing industry, and cause other enterprises to be projected. It will dl- veratfy our industries, and tend to re store the confidence of the people In the ultimate powalbllttlrs of the country.

The I*eo- ple, w hich la right about nlnaty-nlna tiroes In a hundred, doesn't want any boom for Barnwell. It Is hard enough a I read v for a lasy man to live here and the fish supply of Toby and Turkey creeks will not suffice for the veterans and an Influx of more consumers. So far Barnwell hat been able to sal every thing brought from the rural districts for sale, and until our country friends learn to buy lets than they sell stran gers bad belter bring their rations along or stay aw ay The true gospel that papers ought to preach Is after this fashion: Stick to the farm. Don’t be in too great a hurry to gwt rich or to break. Drive alow and keep cool. And what we have said w ill fit every in the State as well as it does this ancient burg. • Tks Mstrict CsadWsass si Baaksrf. The Methodist District Conference at Bamberg last week was fully and well represented by delegations from all charges within tu territory. Presiding Klder Clyde, although new to the ohalr. diapetnhed business with the grace and ease of a veteran, and the proceedings throughout were exceedingly pleasant and harmonious. The presence of visiting dignitaries added largely to the Interest of The Con ference. Professor A. Coke Smith pre- sentsd the claims of Wofford College and effectively urged the formation of a S int stock company for the purchase of a old Spartanburg Female College { )reraises to be converted Into a board- ng house, where' poor students could live comfortably for seven dollara a month while attending the College.— Mr. M. J. Keller heeded the Hat with a subscription of ode thousand dollars end others followed until fifteen hundred of the nine thousand required were se cured, and a canvassing committee ap pointed to collect further subscriptions. Editor W. D. Kirkland addressed the Conference in behalf of bis superb pa per, the Southern Christian Advocate, and promised, with Increased support, to make It even better than it now is— (This editor is a. doubting Thomas as to his ability to make good that promise.) Dr. 0. A. Darby, President of the Co lumbia Female College, also spoke in behalf of thst institution, the only fe male college in the State under Metho dist control. ... Rev. Geo. Wms. Walker, Principal of Paine Institute, Augusta, Ua., devoted to the education of colored ministers, asked for sympathy not for money.— While bis position Is gardslt as should bee< not popular he ro- the proper one that they he educated b j Southern instead of Northern teachers.

The addresses of these distinguished gentle men fully sustained the reputations that they have won In years of Intellectual effort and encounter. The matter of their speeches was in keeping with the inspirations of the occasion, and their manner save {race to their golden words.

And then a dinner, typical of this land of Goshen and the big hearts of its { irosperous people, was served and tho east of good things was parallel in ex cellence with the morning’s feast of rea son and flow of soul. And after hosts and guests had eaten until “satis, jam satis” was a unanimous and univ< rial sentiment, the visitor orators, self con scious that their welcome was far be yond their deserts, either sought to make further acknowledgment or, with malice prepense and aforethought, de sired greater glory bv contrasting their own triumphewltn the confusion of one whose life labors era limited and bound ed by note book and pencil.
