The Barnwell Association was well attended and well entertained by Bethel church and community. Bamberg church was honored by having one of her deacons, Dr. J. B. Black, chosen as moderator. The various interests of the denomination were well represented by leading brethren. The reports from the churches showed a good increase in contributions to the various objects of beneficence. The next session will be held with the St. John's church, near Ehrhardt, and begin on Tuesday instead of Thursday as was done this time. The pastor Sunday morning, instead of preaching a regular sermon, after giving a brief report of the association, made a retrospective and prospective talk on his work here, in which he formally accepted the call for an indefinite length of time. The church in conference appointed a committee of five to formulate and present a plan for the financial work of the church for the ensuing year. Some brethren from Springtown church were present desiring to arrange with our church tQ use our pastor for one Sunday in the month. While this desire was fully appreciated, the church did not think it wise to make any break in the regular services. Good pastors for our country churches is an important problem for the good of the cause in general. The forming of pastorates by our country churches seems to be ;he only happy solution of the matter. The union meeting for this section cf the Association will be held with Bethesda church next Saturday and Sunday. Pastor Frier will preach :here Sunday morning but will fill his pulpit here at night.

Glover, president of the Riggs National Bank, hit him with a bunch of money, filed suit for $10,000 damages against Mr. Glover to-day, alleging assault. Mr. Jasselli was form eriy a depositor in tne DanK. Accuruing to his complaint Mr. Glover, without any reason, picked up a package of money and threw it at Jasselli, who avers that he was struck and suffered bodily and mental pain and was humiliated in the presence of other persons and made to suffer great distress of mind and loss of reputation. How much money was in the bundle alleged to have been used by Mr. Glover as a weapon was not disclosed. Don't be a Kicker. If you are a kicker and see the shadows of failure in everything that is proposed to help the town, for heaven's sake go into some secluded canyon and kick your own shadow on the clay bank, and give the men who are working to build up the town a chance. One long-faced, hollow-eyed, whining, caping, chronic kicker can do more to keep away business and capital from a town than all the drouths, short crops, chinch bugs, cyclones and blizzards combined. TWO NEGROES ARRESTED. Charged With Tampering With Another Person's Mail. Aiken, Oct. 25.?Frank Archer and Mary Johnson, both colored, have been arrested in this city on a charge of tampering with the United States mails. They will probably be carried before the United States coinmisssioner at Edgefield for a preliminary hearing to-day, and the case is so strong against them that there is little probability of their escaping punishment. A few days ago Archer called at the Aiken post office and asked foi Eva Glover's mail. He got a letter for her. After leaving the post office for a short time he came back and i brought a money order payable to I Eva Glover to the money order win- I dow. He was informed by the clerk that he could not collect the order. He went away and in a few minutes Mary Johnson came in, bringing the order. She was asked if she was Eva Glover and she answered in the affirmative. The clerk told her she would have to be identified and she then brought Archer for this purpose, who vouched for her identity as the Glover woman. Postmaster Carman overheard the conversation and as he happened to know Eva Glover he promptly refused to pay the order and, after they left he went out on the street, and getting Chief of Police Howard, had them arrested. The chief recovered the letter and money order from Archer's pocket. The negroes at first staunchly denied any knowledge of the affair, affirming that they had not been to the post office that day, but there were several employees of the office to identify them, and they soon weakened and partially confessed to the crime. The order was for $2. Archer says that he was swinging the letter in his hand when the order fell from the envelope and then he tried to get the money. A postoffice detective came to Aiken a day or so ago to investigate the matter. ! THROWN PROM LEVER CAR. R. L. Smith, Bridge Foreman, Victim of Accident Near Eutawville. Fereuson.Oct. 24.?A sad accident occurred last night on the Atlantic Coast Line railroad track near Eutaw Springs. R. L. Smith, of Tennessee, was thrown from a hand car and injured internally and died in Eutawville last night. Mr. Smith was going from Ferguson to Eutawville on a hand car worked by four negroes, and when the party came to a very sharp curve in the track near Eutaw Springs, they struck a heavy piece of timber, which had evidently been placed there by some heartless person with evil intent. The speed at which the car was going, . combined with the sharp curve, caused the car to be thrown from the track. Mr. Smith was thrown from his seat against the ties, causing his shoulder to be broken. The negroes were also thrown off but their injuries were very slight. After a delay of a few min utes the car was again placed on the track and the party started for Eutawville. Smith went around to his boarding place and told of his accident but insisted that no physician should be called as his injuries were very slight. In a very short time he seemed to be in so much pain that his wife summoned Dr. E. O. Horger to his bedside and upon examination he found that there were internal injuries. The patient rallied upon the use of hypodermic injections but soon became unconscious and died during the night. It seems that there are several motor cars used on the branch of the Coast Line railroad between Eutawville and Ferguson with the permission of the railroad authorities, and it is supposed that some cruel person, desiring to derail one of these cars, had placed a heavy piece of timber on the track. Mr. Smith was a bright young man in the employ of the Cypress Lumber company in constructing the steel bridge across the Santee river. He held the position 01 assistant roreman. He leaves a very young wife. BOY IS STILL HYPNOTIZED. College Student Put Him Into a Trance, But Can't Bring Him To. Hartford, Conn., Oct. 22.?One of the new students at the Connecticut Agricultural college at Storrs is something of a hypnotist. In a a spirit of fun he advertised that he would give a show and invited the students to attend. Among others he hypnotized a fellow student named White, the son of a minister. The hypnotism was a complete success and the student was the recipient of considerable praise for his feat, but when he was ready to bring his victim "to" again he couldn't do it. Doctors were called in and it was more than thirty hours before White came out of his hypnotic trance. Since then he has been in a sort of stupor. Dr. W. L. Hoggins, of South Coven try, was canea to see tne stuaem ana has been doing all he can to restore the boy to his normal condition. TAFT 'POSSUM DESTRUCTIVE. Chews Up Mail During Night and Practical Joker May be Punished. Leesville, La., Oct. 23.?A short * time ago a party of young people of this city went on an old fashioned 'possum hunt, capturing several of the animals. Sometime during the same night some one placed an oppossum in the package apartment of the postoffice and addressed to President Taft. It was found the next morning by the postmaster after the animal had chewed up and destroyed all the mail in the box. The matter has been preferred to the postal authorities and what was started as a practical joke may result in serious trouble to the perpetrators. The inspectors in the department are at work on the case. A Good Many See Your Back and you want youi well from that poii any other.
