Baptist Union Meeting The third division of the Barn^ well Baptist Association met in the handsome Baptist Church in this city last Saturday morning. Capt. J. B. linnter was elected moderator aud Mr. M. A. Moye, clerk. Theie were . delegates present from the following churches : Bamberg, Bethesda, Colston, Midway, aud Hunter'? Chapel. Spriugtown, Edisto and, Spring Branch churches were not represented.

A Ureat Union. It was the writer's privilege to attend the union meeting which met at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, near Williston and Elko, and I wish to bear witness to the fact that it was a brilliant success. The crowd that gathered on Saturday was more like an association than a union meeting. The subjects were well discussed, and the discussions were helpful I ?iw) iiif<it<affii\rr M?? t\' R1V0 (iUU *-/ a t! *-S Ai<VV was with us, and Brother D. H. Orosland came in on Sunday. Dr. Bice preached the missionary sermon on Sunday morning. The collection for the old preachers amounted to $10.04. Brother Orosland preached at night. The writer preached Saturday morning, delivered a Sunday-school address on Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, aud remained over and preached again on Monday. We left the church in the midst of a great revival, which we trust will coutinue and increase until every lost soul shall be swept into the kingdom of our God. The lay brethreu did good work, and coutributed no little to the success of the union. The Calvary people are a noble people, unsurpassed for their hospitality. Their devotion to their pastor is beautiful to look upon. Rev. J. D. Peacock is their pastor. The first call he ever received was from this church more than twenty years ago, aud they express, the hope that he may be spared to serve them another twenty years. It was with a great deal of reluctance that I left the people and the meeting, for it was good to be there.

Life manifests itself in activity, J and inactivity is a manifestation of death ; and while activity is a manifestation of life, it is also necessary to it. An inactive citizen is a deadhead in his community, and an inactive Christiau is dead spiritually, and, in most cases, is a deadhead in his church. The remedy: "Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die." Cooperation is necessary to success in any enterprise where more than oue person is interested. The church is 110 exception to this rule, yet many church members seem to thiuk that the pastor aud two or tlii-ou nffioinl m-rnhprs should kppo the church in a prosperous and growing condition when they do upthiug hut ride along in the gospel train and criticise those who try to do something for the churcn and the glory of God. If their criticisms were prayers, and their idleness were serious meditation or earnest effort to help their pastor in his arduous and responsible duties as the shepherd of the flock of Christ, there \yili be greater prosperity in ZiQu. Gpod music is soul stirring, and good singing is inspiring j but to play or to sing "to be beard of meu," is as hypocritical and objectionable as to stand oil the corners of the streets and pray to be seen and heard of men. Great opportunities make great responsibilities. An open church in every community, a Sunday-school accessible to all, and a Bible in ev ery home, lay upon a people responsibilities which will prove their weal or woe. "And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted uijto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell; for if the mighty work^ which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable foi the laud of Sodom in the day ot judgment, than for thee." Modesty is the virtue most highlyvalued by society.

An O'er-irne Tale In a Vernacular That Is Intelligible Even to the Uninitiated Lay Reader. 8F.CUXDO?PARTING OK THE TRACES. The despairing declaration of the Boss regarding the Rollers, which was the finale of the Primo of this veracious history, was, metaphorically speaking, "the last straw that broke the camel's back. Of course, there was no real camel in the case ?tliev are not indigenous to the sacred soil of South Carolina?and even it there had been one, it is im possible to conjecture how the creature's straw-laden back could have been broken by the Bosses' desperate flow of language, as he glared fiercely upon the hapless Printer and beat the air impoteutly with his clenched hands. It was a very painful and discouraging sight, though, to -ay the least of it, and the Printer felt his philosophy oozing away under the straiu of the Bosses' fierce philippics against Fate (with a very large F), as oozes away the waters of a stagnant pool under the burping rays ot the Southern summer sun. He felt very much discouraged, and stealing so|tly " awajy walked meditatively up^the street, and drowned his despair and chagrin in a drink?of artesian water. He drank copiously, and was a lopg time at it?so long in fact, thatse? eral hours elapsed !>efore he returned to the office. His libatioBs had not improved his spirits, and he was a very Melancholy Printer as he mounted the office steps. But hark! What gladsome sound was that he heard 'i He paused and listened, and his sinking heart beat tumultuously. Some one was singiug in the room above. He recognized the Bosses' voice. The air was a mad and rollicking one, and there was a metallic clatter intermingled ...u:?u nn.m.inH 11L-?. fKo ch*irrw?11 iivo* W li 11/11 ^UUUIICU ilQV l/Uv vum* of a scythe or the whetting of a machete, and the terrible thought came to him : "Despair has driven the Boss mad, and he is about to commit harikari !" At this dreadful suggestion he quickened his pace and burst into the office. The reader can imagine his joy and surprise when his eye (he only has one) fell upon the scene that the opening of the office door revealed. During his absence at the?artesian well, a freight train had arrived, aud in one of the cars there had been a package for the Boss. It contained a portion of. the outfit necessary to the complete transformation of the makeup of the Quarto Herald?ran outfit of bright new column and head rules of shining brass, anfi two stout chases of wrought iron. Jnstantly, at the sight, the Printer's countenance cleared, and his miud was relieved of a terrible load. "Hulio! Olc^Stocking!" was the jocularly familiar greeting of the Boss. "We're getting there with a i!.,r^;fol IJpIn ?w? make un this uui vi ? w local page." Thereupou ?he printer "shucked bis coat" and fell to iu a yery merry mood. The Boss was at his merriest, and he sang aud joked with as much animation as though he wer^ being paid a Large Salary fpr doing it. The effect upon tike Printer was specially enlivening, and he, too, began to whistle that suggestively lively refrain : "A Hot Time in the Old Town To-night." The united efforts of the t\yo men soon imposed the paper, and the eigfyt long' columns of type composing each* page were securely locked in the uew chases and smoothly planed down. THE ROLLERS HADN'T COME. "I suppose," ventured the Printer, when they had finished their labors, "that the Hollers were taken to the Press Room." "Oh, the Rollers didn't come," was the careless rejoinder. "But that don't matter The Paper is ready to go tq Press, I've hired a Past Horse, Major Hays has kindly loaned me a Wagon, and you and the Devil can drive across the country to-morrow and get my friend Situs of the Orangeburg Times ami Democrat to work off the edition for us. We'll jjc a little late (it was Friday evening), but then, we*ve got a Scoop on that Willianp disbarment story, and that will excuse our late uess. The Rollers will be here the first of the week, I reckon, and we'll Be On Time With Our Ne^t' Issue For Sure." * ' , '( The Boss talked iu this sanguine, Capital Letter sort of tone, and was, so honeful aud so merry that the | 1 Printer was encouraged, and felt warranted in taking 'another drink of?artesian water. The proposed trip to Orangeburg on the morrow, was iu sotne respects an inviting one. He would enjoy a breath of country uir?th? singing qf the birds-^the golden glint; of fche sun on leaf and blade?4he drowsy hum of jnsects-rrthe rustjiug whispers of the ripening oorn?the murmur of running water?the babbling frou frou of the wind among the jeaves ?the quiet contemplation ol" the many restful beauties of Southern bucolicisin, but then?there was the Devil! The sometime grimy Imp was to be his companion, and the Printer udd^ec} \yheu he remembered the familiar's sardonic grin. To shake off the uneomfortableness of the feeling which this recollec| tjon eyplied, he Vfent f|q\yn ^itfo the I TWs fo fjikft'H-survev of the vehicle +f"-~ ? r --- - - i. / ... . iu which he unci the Jmp were to make the trip. It was a long blaok wagon, and its build and color were painfully suggestive of Funerals. There is no trace of superstition in ' []\e Pfipter's spirjtiio-rpen^l qpjp. i position, however, p,nd he remarked that the vehicle looked like a verv v easy running, comfortably gort of a carriage. He was about to expatiate j further on the meiits of the wagon, when the Devil pushed himself to the fore, surveyed the Black Carriage for a moment in awestruck amazement, and then exclaimed under his breath: "Hully Gee! It's der hearse! We'll be hoodooed fer sure 'f we ride in dat t'ing!" This blood curdling prediction was exceedingly irritating to the Printer, although he said nothing. lie resolved, however, to Drown the I Devil, the next morning, in the black depths of the Edisto river, and consoling himself with this sanguinary resolve, he continued, addressing the merry Boss and ignorj ing the grinning Devil: "Yes, sir! I think the Forms will ride nice and easy in that carriage." "Der Forms o' dem dat do ride in it rest mighty easy. You kin 'bet yer life dey never kick," gurgled the Devil, and he darted away at sight of the blaze of menace which shot front the Printer's eye, whistling: "And He Never Came Back." "Oh, the Wagon's all right," declared the Boss, "and the Horse I've engaged for you is a daisy. Y'ou'll have to hold her in, and I imagine that if you and the Devil leave here by four o'clock in the morning, and take it easy, you'll get to Sims's of hoc about half-past six or quarter of ? ^ ^ i- r seven, so tliey can put on uie iorms and work off our paper the first thing.

THE PRINTER HAS DOUBTS. "Y-e-s!" dubiously admitted the Printer. "Mebbe so!" But he felt sad and gloomy because of the Devil's direful predictions, and when he and the Boss had toted the Forms down stairs and laid them carefully out on the board delivery table belonging to the Prouty Press, and the paper had been tucked away under the board, "to keep out the dust, .and protect it if it rained," and the whole had been carefully covered with a very gruesome looking Kubber Blanket lie felt so down hearted that he was oKlirrod tn rpsnrt. to t.hp artesian well . V UllgVU W ?vwv*?r WW ... v W? again. It was arranged that the Printer ( and the Devii should speud the night together, and when the Imp had fallen asleep, which he did im- , mediately his head struck the pillow, the Printer wondered if he would be hanged for murder if he , got up in the darkness and strangled ] his sardonic bedfellow. So strong . a hold did this idea take upon hint that be softly raised himself upon | his elbow and peered down into the , sleeping Imp's face to select a good spot for the Fatal Clutch. The , moon had risen and her pale rays , feil full upon the erstwhile Demon's _ face. Slumber had robbed the imp ( ish features of all those sardonic lines which heretofore made him so hateful to the Printer. The Devil , looked perfectly Angelic, and the j Printer's murderous thoughts van- , ished. He mattered a prayer to be "kept from temptation," aiid rolling over fell asleep. . THE START IS MApE. The Man who owned the Horse had promised to have the equine on hand promptly at four o'clock the next morning. He was us g?od as his word, and the Priuter helped < him gear the steed to the sombre colored wagon, while the Devil stowed away the jug of?artesian water. The Horse didn't look very enterprising, and seemed to mutely protect against having had his matitudinal slumbers so rude'v broken in upon. The Printer noticed this, and he also noticed that there was a big sojre spot 011 the brute's right shoulder. He spoke to the Man about this. "Qh, that's all right," was the confident assurance. "The-TjolUr's loose, and fcihc don't mind it in the least. I gaye Her supper last night, but She hasn't had ' breakfast yet. When you get to Orangeburg give her about twelve ears of corn and as much hay qr fodder as she'll eat. Goodbye!" And he walked away into the darkness. The Devil had already perched himself on the high seat of the black wagon, the Printer clambered up beside' him, and, picking up the lines, chirruped to the Horse as he had heard Expert 1-Jrivers do. As a consequence, he and the Devil 1 were nearly pitched backward upon the suggestive looking .Burden hidden beneath the rubber blanket. The Horse had been in a deep slum- ' her, and this rude awakening 1 brought on nightmare, or [There is a joke in tiiat expression somewhere?horse ? nightmare ? surely there is !J Well, it was something ( of that sort that startled the horse, for She started up the street with a rush, and the Printer was really obliged to do as the Boss had pre J dieted: "Hold Her in !" A FUNEREAL GAIT. ? This fit' of enterprise on the part J of the equine did not last long, and, before they reached the railroad, Her gait had subsided into a walk, , that, to say the least, was?was? , very funereal. The Devil observed it and remarked: "She must be der ole hoss what ' dcy drive ter dis hearse when dev ( liey a nigger berry in. Qqt a veg'lftr cemet'i'Y grtifc huiiVt she? Why don't yer whip her up?" The Printer, remembering the Dark River and his contemplated , Fell Purpose, forcbore from hurling tfye sip'dqpjqally gripping little man to the ground, Hud to drown* the angry reply that rose to his lips he uptilted the stoneware jug and took a drink of?artesian water. When they reached the Mayflower Inn the Horse stopped and turning Her bead, Jopked back upon fter pa?. aeugers reproachfully. ^She t'mka dis is der cemet'ry/'j whispered the Devil, and lie yelled! ! "(fee up!" with such shrill acclaim ! ' that the Horse darted forward like | a Cavalry Charger, going into bat \ tie, and the Printer, whose single good eye is bad, [There's Irish for you J and who is a poor driver besides, had considerable difficulty in keeping Her to the road. At this gait they left the town, with its darkened houses aud their peacefully sleeping inmates, and entered upon the OLD TELEGRAPH ROAD connecting Charleston and Augusta. It had been determined that they should cross the r;ver over Cannon's Bridge, and as they approached the road leading to this structure, the Printer began to meditate upon tlu* Foul Dppd which he had in con templation. "Devil!" he said, addressing his companion in as tender a tone as he could assume, "Do you ever think of the Hereafter?" "Naw!" was his terse answer, and then he yelled : "Gee-up dere ole Graveyard!" and kicked his heels against the dashboard. The Horss had fallen into Her accustomed funereal walk, and was consequently dozing. The reins lay slack upon Her back. The Devil's shrill ejaculation and thej subsequent rattle of his heels upon the dashboard aroused Her, and IS he sprang forward. Something snapped, and the Printer tightened the lines and yel led: "Whoa!" The Horse came to a sudden standstill! "Jimminitty!" cried the Devil, and even through the darkness the Printer could see the Imp's sardonic grin. "She's busted der traces!" S. Y. Lowe.

The following article appeared in the Greenwood Journal recently, and it suits the situation in Bamberg so well, that we publish it enlire. We want to say that we endorse every word uttered by our contemporary: Wc are not in a condition to complain, but we desire to have some words to say on the above subject, upon which we have been led to reflect by utterances which have recently appeared in one or two of our contemporaries, who seem not to have received that consideration which thej felt that they should at the hands of a geuerous public. The Journal stands on the ground that it is not an object of charity, and wishes to be governed largely by business principles. We do ?.ot ask Any man to give us business upon the ground of personal friendship, but upon the ground of our ability to give value received; and yet, we render services every day for which we do not receive one cent of com pensation, aud we do not expect it; cor, to expect it, would be only to iisappoiut us. But what would Greeuwood do . t i n /it \ 2 i without net papers." iaKe tnese papers out of tovvu, uail up their of iices, stop their presses, and who would care to live in Greenwood "i It would be as dead as Hector. Busiuess woul4 be at a standstill, und if there weiv any men left here, they would crawl along the streets like snails. We would never know who went and who came, who mar ried and who died, who was well or who was sick, what the city fathers did and what th?y did not do, whether bicycles were ridden on the sidewalks or iu the streets. In fact, we should not know when the sun rose and ser. Nor would Green wood's lame any longer be spread abroad. Her sun would set forever, and darkness would brood over her fair face. .Nor would that sun ever rise again, until some enterprising newspaper mail climbed the tripod and sent out lo her sleepy ciiizens, and to the world in which she was enveloped, a blight sheet announcing tilt fact that old Kip had woke up from his slumbers, ana he would find things; no}; ?'u did, advanced, but gone back, back, uutil he would not recognize her, and once more the citizens of Greenwood would begin to sing, "The morning light is breaking and the darkness disappears." The facts are, no live town can do without a paper. Now the moral that we would draw from this is: Do uot sponge on your county papers; do not expect to read them and never pay one cent for subscription; do not let them come 011 to you and uever pay up, and when asked to do so fly in to a rage and say they are no ac couut anyhow. We beg your par don, you are the no account. Do not let it almost kill you,it you Have to pay a dollar or two for au ad which has made you numbers of dollars, but pay up as a clean white man, just as you pay the house fioin which you bought your goods 011 wholesale aud sold them for a good profit j antf then! an(* then! 0, and then ! When you must have a little job done, don't squeeze, and press, and press, until you get it down to figures where you feel sure there i> 110 profit in it, aud walk off smacking your mouth, with the assurance that the printer will not make anything out of that job, sure and certain. Remember, the newspaper man's goods cost him. something, and if he does not make a profit it is only a (juestifiU pj time wj^n he must'shut up'shop; and, when ho shuts up shop, it will not be long until you will follow suit. These reflections are not made as a hit 011 any one, but only to cause our peq pie to reflect. and \\f. jvjieyp ^ ^iey will on|y do so they will appreciate vheir newspapers more, speak words of praise instead of words of censor", and give them a mote cheerful and hearty- support. The Journal looks to the future with a lyri^ht, pheevfu] face, aud hopes that every pitmen of our town aud oouuty may be able to do the same. You can't cure dyspepsia by dieting.
