There was a delightful gathoring of .the Sunday school. workers arnl scholars at Six Mile last Saturday and of course a few .candidatol wvent up with the children of ol to worship. Six Mile, Prators, Camp Crook and Shoal Creek schools were p)re. sent, with their respective badges and banners, and made the hearts of all glad to see the improvemett and progress of Sunday school *vork in those sections. The offi cers and toachors deserve credit for the interest, they have aroused in the advaucemnent and promo tion of the Sunday school cause. The invited speakers not appear -ing T. 0. Robinson, B3.

We wore assigned to the Garrett's and Boldings, and were hospitably entertained with the bost of the land. SLIGH'S CALL. In another place is published the proceedings of the third meet ing of the Reform Executive comn mittee, which met in Columbia on the ith instant. Chairman Sligh was severely criticised by some for calling the committee just at the close of the campaign. It was inl fact uunecessary and liable to do the Reform movement great dam age, had the other members been timid or disposed to let their pre ferences for caudi(lates influ. enced their action. In justice t( Mr. Sligh we will state that he has always been in favor of the Colleton plan and voted to sus tain the action of the comimittee of the two prev ious m(et ings. A f ter heairiig reports from all tin coutie l the comlittee wis more conviled th ani ever of the unwise an da(1n1iigeriolls course, pillrsiel b v limid Reformerx ini yie'ldin g t Ohe clamorol and)( alluring promlises (if the ant tis.

The oxlerience of the last. two weeks shuoul( teach the 11(peo)pl to take moro interest in plblic mat tersx an(d w,'atch closely the politi ias in the movemont and the politiclals not ill it. Tio anitis, who havo practiced alicis and and convelition moth >(1 from timo immemorial, are ihe lest peoplo inl the world to take )Xceptioln to the Colloton plan or lly other1 phill, which the Reform 'rs may a(lopt to put out a stato Ict. If they (o not like the Re Formoers way of doing business, lot 110111 set thom an oxample. They wouild not join the clubs and they wouli d not have voted in the pr'i malirios, had the ReformolIrs boonl so foolish, as to have yielded to their murmoerings and1 to the troachery of amnbitious Reformers. The Keowee Courier has this te say of the newv Teacher of 01m High School: "Prof. Marshal S. Stribl ing was in W~alallai n on. (lay.
