Af ter the discussiont the questioners seemed well i,leased an d satistied. A t an early lour on Sunlday morning, thle large ciurchz was paicked, and by tile time for preachinag thmere was a vast assenilage on the ground who could gain no admit tance. At 11 o'clock Prof. Voigt, of Newberry College, preached a very in~ teyesting and able sermon to an atten tive and appreciative audience, after wilch the Sacramefnt of the Lord's Sup per was administered to a large ..e'on-. cour.e of conitnlali Dr. Hawkins' iureh (Sr..Luke) alone mnnibers over tr.e hIn;dred comuniea:.ts. bIides iese there were a large number from ster churches and lenoniinttionts. We ad the pleasure of worshipping. with ce;e good people, and e ie glad that -e were there. TUBE. CH APPLLS. ?.t. EITre:-.The crops in all this c: ion of country are looking well and lie planters a;e all in higlh spirits, and t :o:mc caseare truly thankful to God or his riclh esinZs. We hope your ltolines nceting is uing much good. We all would like o :nuch to have Mr. Leitch to come up nd hold a meeting here' Our town is still improving. Our very :iterprisiug young citizen, Mr. J. R. ;curry, is neariug completion a resi letnce that will be an ornament to ou. iopular town. Dr. Taggart, Jr., of Greenwood, has ocated here, and is getting a large ractice. That. fearful disease dysen ery is prevailing. It keeps him busy. [t is not only in our community, but all brough the upper portion of the county, nd in many cases terminating fatally, moong the colored people. We have a ilouriling school in o:tr lace, taught by Miss McDonald, of \orth Carolina, with whom the pat -ons are all highly pleased, and a large ;unday school, contducted by that Chris ian gentleman, J. R. Irvin. We have )reachlng once a month by Rev. Mr. seymour, of Waterloo, of the Baptist aith. We have two young gentlemen here vho go fishing once a year nith the thoicest belles of Ch:appelle, and some ing retnat kable has happened for the ast two years. Last year they caught yr shot and cut the throat of a forty onnd tish, and came near getting Irowned in getting i, to the bank. This ear they went to a place on the Saluda, utd I expect, Mr. Editor, you know well fhere it is, it 's known as the "buzzard oosr," whem e a rock projects way over he river, and the buzzards roost there, tnd lay their eggs and hatch their young. While at this place fishing, one of the adies screamed out, snake! snake! and >e of the lordly knights ran, with club tn hand and a murderous intent, to the rescue of the fair damsel, and lo, it was. :o his surprise .an:l delight, a ten pound !el to her hook; and had not George and Billy bee:i s:ro'g and daring young gent lemen I fear the monster eel s'ould tave pulled her in to the deep and muddy tr,an, and Chappells would now be in Jeep mourning. We are an old baclelor f thirty, but we will give the boys ad rice, and we tell George and Billy to be marcftd. We fear something serious will happen yet. ANON. EXCELSIOR NOTES. Eight o'e ock almost conmes twi'ee a lay now. 3Irs. A. A. Nates was the first ill our ectioni to gather a miess of beans this ueason. Mrs. S. C. Blarre and children of Pros perity have been visiting relatives in our commntity during thle past week. Mr. A. M!. Counts and little daughter Bessi) have been very ill during the 'ast few days but glad to state are im proving again. Last Sunday we* in company with Mr. E. 31. Cook had the pleasure of attend ing thle Newberry conference held at S:. Luke's Church. Some of bur farmers were still plant in somle.corni last week. The crops at present are looking so c:aeouraging that it seems a hard task for them to get through planting this year. Some of our farmers used this year as a manure r.nder their corn a guano by te name of "reliance" and the corn having grown off so rapidly that they now elainm it is a guano they can rely upon. Mrs. S. of our community set a few weeks ago a hen on 14 eggs and hatched out a few days ago 15 little chicks with one egg remaining in the nest. ' Will some of your correspondents explain how this is? Some of our farmers went into the harvest field Moinday and since that time have been busily engaged throwing the "scythe blade." We are glad to lernl the wheat crops generally are tur'ng out better than wvas once ex petd. Last year on the fifth Sunday in May the New~ berry Conference. was held at St. Philip's church, Rev. S. T. Hlaliman's charge, and on that dauy our community was vi-ited n ith a v-ery hard rain, and this year on the fifth Sunday in May the conference was held at St. Luke's church, Rev. Dr. Hlawkini's charge, and the day was dry and dumsty. in our traveling around in difi'erent placs during the past two months we notice the farmers gem r.dly have planted but little molasses canie this year. Wie remember ten or twelve years ago that almito5t every~ farmer in this community woul have his cane patch and would make enough miohisses for' his famiily's ue and at the same tme haive some on hand for sale.
