The executive committee of the Columbia Theological Seminary was in session in Columbia all day Tues day in an effort to elect a president of the institution. They did this indi rectly only, having recommended to the trustees that Dr. Theron H. Rice, of Atlanta, be given the position. He was leader in the movement to have the seminary moved from Columbia and consolidated with Clarksville ! T ni- versity into a big Presbyterian uni versity at Atlanta.

For the amount the sureties are un doubtedly good, and Magistrate St rad- ley has seen that there is no suggestion of straw about the paper. Speegle's friends have no doubt mat he will be on hand when his cases are called for trial in January, provided he Is alive and strong enough to come. An unknown man was found a Cal houn Sunday seriously and perhaps fatally injured. He was lying near the railroad track when found. He has red hair and red mustache. Is about thirty rears old. Had on an Odd Fellow badge when found. He was unconscious when found and could therefore give no clue. His hat was found near by with the Initials: “J. D. H.” inside. He is being well looked after at the home of Mr. W. R. Chapman, at Calhoun, and the news papers are asked to give as wide pub licity to the news as possible In hopes of finding out who he Is.

Crops Fine—Cotton Opening—Meet ings and Schools. Kings Creek, Sept. 5.—It has been some time since I have appeared on the bright pages of your esteemed paper, but if you will grant me per mission I shall give you a few Items from around this place. We have had moderately fair sea sons this summer since the wet spell in the sprirtg. Crops as a general thing are fine, a little better than usual. Early fodder is nearly all pulled: some of it was damaged by the rain, but most of it was saved in fine condition. Late corn looks very promising; it is just in “roast ing ears” now. Cotton is opening fast, and a great deal of it is tfeing picked this week. A few bales have been ginned and sold at a fair price, which is a good thing for ns farmers; for we had a hard time with the grass and we need pay for it now. I think we will get a fair price for our cotton - for 1 don’t think it will be sold unless it be for a good price. Rev. E. B. McSwain, assisted by Rev. T. H. Mullinax, another humble servant of our Lord Jesus Christ, has been holding a series of revival meet ings under an arbor near Hamburg school house. The meeting began Sunday night, August 27th. and closed Sunday. September 3rd. It ■vas indeed a glorious revival; many sinners were led to see and re ;Mze their awful condition, and turn to ■ok the Savior. Several of them, 1 yi glad to say, found Him precious to their never dying souls. The every-day school at Hamburg Hosed last Friday. The teacher, Mr. Elijah S. McSwain, took the pumi ill on a free pleasure trip to Pied mont Springs Friday afternoon. They all report a fine time, and say it was by far the most enjoyable trip they ever have been on. He had a school of upwards of fifty scholars, and. judging from their conduct, lie manages them well, although this is his first experience as a teymer. While at the Springs the teacher met and conversed with one of his school mates, Mr. Jas. Brian Bell, of Gaff- nev. Mr. Bell was there for his health and pleasure. The singing school of Hamburg has been running Saturdays; it will close Saturday. September 15th, af ter a term ten days. Mr. D. J. McCarter, the teacher, has taken great interest in the work and has done much to develop his pulips on this line. He has a very large, in teresting and well-trained class for the time he has been with them. The . Sunday evening Sunday school of Hamburg. superintend ed by Rev. E. B. McSwain, has an enrollment of over a hundred, and is doing fine and flourishing work for the interest and upbuilding of our Master and His kingdom here on earth. Mrs. Rev. L. H. McSwain, aged nearly eighty-nine years, who has been unable to help herself for the last year, is. I am sorry to sav. still very poorly. Mr. Elias Falls’ boy, Anderall, has been very unwell, but is getting bet ter. A few other people of this section are complaining, but to my knowl edge none of them is seriously ill Yesterday was a holiday, and- the "nail carriers never went out on their routes; and we felt lost without our regular mail. It seems now like it would be almost impossible to do without the R. F. D.’s. “Sunday School Boy.” # BLACKSBURG BREVITIES. Personals and Locals from the Iron City Across the Broad. .

Engaged people should remember that, after marriage, many quarrels can be avoided, by keeping their di- gestion in good condition with Electric Bitters. S. A. Brown, of Bennettsville, S. C.. says: “For many years my wife suffered Intensely from dysnepsia. complicated with a torpid liver, until she lost her strength and vigor, and became a mere wreck of her former self. Then she tried Electric Bitters, which helped her at once, and finally made her entirely well. She Is now strong and healthy.” Cherokee Drug Co., druggists, sell and guarantee them at 50c a bottle.

C., Sept. 6.—There Is a strong feeling among the delegates to the Southern Cotton Association that the minimum price for the coming cotton crop will be 11 cents, with the possibility of 12. The opening session today was de voted to the apnointment of commit tees. among them one to fix the mini mum price at which the farmer should sell cotton this year. This committee will submit a report tomorrow. The committee was also appointed to com pile an estimate of last year’s cotton crop. The committee consists of J. A. Brown, of North Carolina: J. C. Martin, of Mississippi; and W. F. Peak, of Georgia. An auxiliary com mittee consisting of one delegate each from the fourteen States will also be apnointed. It was the sense of the meeting that this crop report and the determining of the minimum price are the princi pal subjects before the convention. The suggestion by J. C. Martin that the constitution be revised so as to admit of enlargment of the associa tion’s scope resulted in the appoint* ment of the following committee to frame resolutions: E. D. Smith, of South Carolina: J. L. Hicks, of Texas, and S. Withersnoon, of Mississippi. OFFICERS ELECTED. Lightning struck the barn of Mr. W. H.

Sep. 6.—Since the dispen sary nas been voted out in Cherokee county there lias been a decided change for the better. I think. Be fore the dispensary was voted out at all times of the night you could hear people passing along the public high ways, cursing, swearing and whipping horses and mules most unmercifully. We believe, Mr. DeCamp, Mr. Parrott, and Rev. F. C. Hickson are three of the men in Cherokee county who de- serve praise for doing so much in fighting the dispensary and causing its overthrow. It seems if the other counties in the dear “Old Palmetto State” would vote out the dispensa ries our State would be much happier. Wo are indeed proud of Cherokee for being the first county to vote out the G. M. I.
