NcKlnley was made a mason by a Confederate soldier boforo the close of the War botweon the States. McKinley was a major in a f?deral regiment from Ohio. Tho Star says: The young oflicor from Ohio, McKin ley, was stationed at Winchester, Va., where was located a hospital for Con federates?wounded prisoners of war. In making tho rounds ono afternoon with tho surgeon of tho regiment Ma jor McKinley noticed that tho doctor was on very fric dly torms with sever al of tho southerners, notjinfrequontly giving them money. The Interest of tho future president was aroused, and when tho opportunity presented itself ho asked tho reason for this unusual cordiality. Tho surgeon told him that they wore brother Masons, and the ma jor met this information with tho ex pressed wish to become a member of a fraternity on which neither prison bars nor rank of office had tho slightest ef fect. Tho desire of young McKinley was made known to tho ollicors of Hiram Lodge, No. 21, of Winchester, and on the night of May 1, 18(55, at 7.30 o'clock he presented himself for initiation.. J. B. T. Reed, a Confederate chaplain, was Master of the lodge and conferred the dogreo of entered apprentice upon tho candidate. On the following eve ning tho degree of followcraft was giv en, while at the same lodge, on the af ternoon of May 8, at 3 o'clock, ho re ceived the Master Mason degree. But threo Masons are now living who wit nessod the initation. They are Gtorgo E. and C. S. Jenkins, of Winchester, and W. R. Denny, of Nashville, Tenn. Aftor tho war Major McKinley af filiated with Canton Lodge, No. (50, on August 21, 1807. and later became a charter momber of Eagle Lodge, No. 43 at Canton.

On both reservations 600 votes were cast. Paterson was a winner by 10 majority . Feeling ran high over tho election, but there was no disorder of any kind.

The Houea Path Chroniclo says: "During the campuign last summer Mr. J. D. Lomax was a rip-roaring Jim Tillmanite, and was almost prostrated when the genial Colonel was defeated. He was In town Saturday and asked us to say that he was still standing Hat footed for Jim, and that he never in tended to have his hair cut until t ho Colonel was elected governor of South Carolina. We will pass tho hai around, soon and take up a collection to buy hair pins for Mr. Lomax, for wo fear his hair will worry him very much if ho waits until Jim Tillman is o'ectod before he has it cut."

Miss Ida Craig, a lady of Lancaster, aged 23, killed herself by drinking car bolic acid last weok. Tho late town of Calhoun Falls has been sold at auotion for $14,000. It is situated in Abbeville county. In Union town the "Clover Club" has been organized. Doubtless tho| membership will bo composed of "hay seeds." Robert R. Hemphill, editor of the Abbevillo Medium, went to the state fair and published the best story about it that has appeared in any newspaper. Progress says that robbers broke in-1 to a Union man's pantry nnd got nil' thero was, $10 worth. Other pantry | robbe: s may be encouraged to visit Union. The South Carolina Corfercnee. will meet in Nowberry on December 3rd. The Methodists of Greenville will in vite tho Conference to meet with them next year. Tho Darlington County Messenger has been movod from Darlington to Hartsville. Mr. T. J. Drew will con tinue to edit it. The Messenger was first established in Hartsville by Mr Drew. It is said that attornoy general-elect Gunter will appoint W. H. Townsend of Barnwell his assistant. It has a'so been stated that Mr. J. B. Patrick of Anderson will bo appointed assistant adjutant and inspector general. Tho Union Progress tolls of prepara tions for "an oyster supper and barbe cue" in that town and says that "no pains will bo ?pared to make it a suc cess." Possibly pains after the supper and barbecue may not. bo spared. The Aiken Journal and Review is "on its hoad" because some newspapers havo described Aiken as a wild, wicked, naughty, card-playing and dancing town and editorially repudiates tho charge. In its news columns the paper rankes a more satisfactory answer. It describes an "anagram party." There is plenty of piety in a town where anagram parties are popular. HAUNTED TUE GOLD. The Unquiet Spirit That for Years Frequented Cape Nolr, For many years on Cape Nolr, the western point of Maria, a strange light was seen, dancing nnd moving about In tho most unaccountable man ner. At one moment It would rise liko a column of firo Into the air, and nt an other time It would full like a meteor. Then It would seem to leap over the point nnd drop Into the soa, afterward appearing again In tho same spot on tho hillside. The habitants tell this story nbout It: In the tlmo of tho war for the pos session of Canada n French vessel pursued by an English warship, steered Its course Into tho bay nt this point for refuge. A boat was lowered from tho side of the richly laden mer chantman, and In this thirteen men swiftly rowed to tho shore. Their ob ject was io secrcto a chest of gold which they had brought with them. On reaching tho point they drew Iota to see which of tho men should remain to guard tho treasure. Tho ono to whom tho lot fell was forced to swear a solemn oath, bjj land nnd sen, by night and day, by the ruler of tho nether world, that he would bo faithful to the trust through lifo, unless re Ileved by his returning comrades, nnd oven nfter death would haunt the spot should no ono come to take his place, says n writer ]n the Era. To secure tho fulfillment of this vow his wicked assoolatcs then and thorp put him to death aud buried him with tho treasure. Tho ghostly light was supposed to bo tho spirit of tho mur dered man, and many persons who, tempted by the hope of recovering the treasury, ventured into the haunted spot fled In terror nnd told blood curdling stories of tho horrible phan toms nnd frightful sights which thoy had witnessed. Tho light Is seen no longer. Perhaps somo adventurer bolder than tho rent succeeded In dis covering tho gold, carried It off and thun gave rest to tho unquiet spirit 4, ? , ~*S\*f^ IN THE CHURCHES. | 19 **? ?*? ?Viv ?v ?v.vtv 8 ?3 33 3 ?v 3 8 Churoh of tho Epiphany, Laurens, S.

Mr. Moore is on the shady side of the half century mark and his wife is in her 60th year.

The mother and little ones are getting*along nicely, and Mr. Moore himself is in good shape. Those facts are given by people of that Community, and Mr. Moore was in Anderson Wednesday.

Hints to Lovers of Good Fruits and Pretty Flowers. Land cannot be too rich or too mel low for fruits. Manure for the garden should be free from weed seeds. The head of n Irco needs to bo fairly open to admit sun and air for full growth of fruit. The dahlias will never disappoint you. Pink, ?white, yellow or crimson, tall, dwarf or cactus, It Is bound to flower. In tho fall after tho leaves have dropped is generally tho best time for taking cuttings from quinces, but they may be taken later. Heliotrope should not be mixed with other cut flowers in water. They de cay quickly and have a harmful effect upon the other blossoms. Myosotls (forgetmenot) needs partial shading, hut not the shade of a treo. Plant among taller flowers or around rose shes, and it will do well. P ly of yellow blossoms should bo ?e> .-cd for places which lack sun shine. Yellow Is good In almost every situation and is the cheeriest of tones. Good cultivation causes an abun dance of fibrous roots to be made. Tho growth of any plant is largely meas ured by tho number of its flbrous roots.
