City council has passed an ordi nance limiting the speed of automobiles on Main street to six miles at hour and on other streets to tec miles an hour. Now, let it be enforced. See the ad. of Mrs. M. C. Heidtjnan in this issue. She will continue ?'- toe grocery business of J. A. Bates & Co., and Mr. John McCue will be ir charge. The patronage of the public &. ; ? is solicited.

The mayor tells us that the policemen have been instructed to notify merchants that violations of the law - in regard to placing goods on the sidewalk and in the street on Main a> o street must cease. 4 Rev.

Progressive Farming. That South Carolina in general id Bamberg county in particular issesses land equal in every reect to that of the West is being ? monstrated by Mr. D. R. Matheny, lo resides about two miles from is place. Mr. Matheny is now enged in harvesting a crop of rye aich is without doubt the largest reage ever planted in South Carina of this grain. On seventy acres land he has grown about 1,000 or 500 bushels of rye equal in every .rticular to that grown on the fere plains of the West. While a pioneer in the matter of ain growing in this part of the untry, Mr. Matheny has shown nclusively that it can be raised at profit and on the same land that oduces the rye he intends to grow crop of corn, thus making two ops on the same land in one yean Mr. Matheny sent to The Herald [ice this week a specimen of his e consisting of ninety-two heads own from one seed. He says that is is not a selected specimen, but only a fair sample of his entire op. It is a well known fact that Northn seed rye will not grow in this untry, but runs along the groundoducing absolutely no grain. It is ily afler three or four years of exriment that Mr. Matheny has suceded in producing a Southern own rye that will reproduce and consequence has practically the ily need rye that can be obtained any quantity in South Caroling. It is the progressive f^rmer^of is kind who are bound to succeed' farming and who never complain the low price of cotton. They use eir brains as well as their hands id add another unanswerable arguent in favor of greater diversifica>n of crops. It is Mr. Matheny's purpose to put is rye on the market for seed just soon as he has completed thresh; g it and we have no doubt but bat it will find a ready sale among e farmers of this section. Died at the Age of 112 Years. Union, May 22.?Hannah Kelley, l old negress reputed to be over 112 ?ars of age, and who several years ;o won widespread notoriety by cutag, what appeared to be, her third t of teeth, has just died here. "Aunt" Hannah, as the old woman as called, was born at Fish Dam srry on the Broad river, in this >unty, and apparently well authencated records show that her birth icurred about January, 1797, on ie plantation of Mr. William Kelley, ng since dead, to whom she belongl, and who gave her at his death to s son, Dr. James Kelley, in whose ,mily she lived for many years. For quite a while "Aunt" Hannah is lived in Union, near the Excelsior nitting Mills, 'with her daughter, achel English, who is herself quite 1 old woman. It was about three years ago that A.unt" Hannah was reported to be ltting her third set of teeth, but a entist of this city, who examined *r, then expressed the opinion that hat appeared to be several new 'eth, was but the roots of a former it of teeth, which were becoming exDsed because of a shrinkage in the urns. At that time the old woman, lough about 109 years old, appeared l unusually good health, and was ble to walk about the yard without ssistance. *'V ~ r " ' ? Baptist Church News and Notices.

Frier returned from the Southern Baptist convention at Louisville, Ky., last Thursday, full of the great meeting; and Sunday morning gave us his impressions of it. He said first that he thought of this great convention of Southern Baptists as a great Baptist exposition, exhibiting what we are, and what we are doing as a people. In the second place, he regarded it as the great heart-center from which our denominational life and work received its impetus and coloring. At the evening service the theme was, "Paul's faith as a Christian," showing that it did not rest in any sense on his mortality, experiences, attainments or self-sacrificing work, but only in the personal Christ. That the ground of his assurance lay not ' ? VistlsJ YvrVtisiVt Vi a Vtorl A? PVi ri o f ILL IUC UU1U |>U1ViU uc uuu vu uunsv, by faith, but the hold Christ had on him through his faith. The Sunbeam Band will meet in its regular meeting next Friday afternoon. There will be no preaching service in the Baptist church next Sunday, as the pastor is to preach the missionary sermon at the union meeting at Barnwell, and because of the commencement services of the Fitting School here on that day. The executive committee of the Barnwell Association will hold its quarterly meeting in Blackville Thursday. It is with deep sorrow that we note the sad death of Sister O'Neal recently. Our sympathies go out to Deacon J. T. O'Neal and wife, also other relatives, in their bereavement. NOTICE.
