Johnstone, Esq., moved that eeting discuss by sections the act by the Committee for presen ion to the Legislature. Motion pre vailed and the Secretary proceeded to read the sections proposed. Section 1, read and approved. Sec tion 2, read and amended by Geo. B. Cromer, Esq., to read as follows after the words, "Court House in New berry"-and to appoint three managers to conduct the same. Section 3. read and amendment of fered by Mr. R. L. McCaughrin to in sert after the words, "to wit" the fol lowing names: J. F. J. Caldwell, G B. Cromer, W. H. Wallace, J. K. P Goggans, Rev. J. S.

Section 4, read and on mo was approved. Section 5, was read and on -tion the meeting sustained the sect >n as read. Section 6, read and the provisions of same were approved. Section 7, read. Dr. Jas. McIntosh expressed his opinion that the section was defective in that there was no pro vision made therein for the redemption of the bonds at maturity and called upon the committee to explain if in their judgement the 6-10 mill was suf ficient to meet the necessities of the case. J. F. J. Caldwell, Esq., explained that there need be no danger appre hended as to the sufficiency of the tax to pay the debt. That as the popula tion of the town would naturally in crease and the taxable property like wise enhance in value thus affbrding ample revenue to defray the debt at maturity. It is not likely he said that any catastrophe would occur to cause a de ficiency, but on the contrary a pros perity that would -amply afford the revenue required. Dr. McIntosh moved as an amendment to Section 8 that "any surplus remaining after the payment of the annual interest be ap plied to the redemption of the bonds issued" and that the matter be en trusted to the "direction of the Trus tees." Section as amended was adopted. Section 8 read, eliciting a lively and interesting discussion by the members present. Col. Geo. Johnstone favored in a strong speech the amendment of the section granting the voter at a general election the privilege of denot ing to what school his tax for school purposes must be applied. Remarks disapproving the amendment were made by Messrs. Cromer, Sale, Wal lace, Goggans, Pifer, Pelham, and Rev. Dr. Cosby. The amendment failed to pass. The section without amendment was adopted. A motion was made to adopt the en tire act as amended, and prevailed. Col. George Johnstone moved that the bill be presented to the Representa tives of Newberry in the General As sembly and that its passage by that body be urged. J. K. P. Goggans moved to adjourn and the motion prevailed. Y. J. POPE, Chairman. WV. E. PELHAx, Secretary. .Fresh Oysters!i Fresh Oysters! !

The Ladies' Home and Foreign Mis sionary Society of Crace church, are observing a week of prayer and self consecration. Sales of cotton for the past week 513 bales, making a total to date of 2,534 bales. The market closed yester day with an upward teudency, the priec ranging yesterday fromt 9 3-16 to 9 5-16, with a good feeling. The school books ado: t?d the State Board of Education and r. :om mended by the County Board of Ex aniners can be found at A. I1. Kohn's. These books will be uniiormly adf, ted in every school wherethere is ayv ub lie money appropriated or re" aved. Teachers will do well to bear tlrid i' mind. Almost a cotton fire occurred on the cotton plattorm near the'depot last week. Two bales caught sinultane ously, but the fire was quickly discov ered and the burning bales thrown off and the fire extinguished. It is aliost certain that they caught fromt an en gine which was shifting on the side track. Last Wednesday was Alliance day here. There was not near so miuca cotton put on the market ts on the week before, still the number belong ing to the Alliance ran up to 133 bales. The cotton was all sampled, the bales numbered, and buyers were requested to bid. Messrs. Wheeler and Moseley bought the lot at 91 round. This was just t less than they were offered one week before, or in oth'r words it was sold at a loss of about $1.70 per bale. We are satistied that selliUg cotton in large lots at this season of the year is no5 advantageous to either seller or buyer. In fact we doubt whether it will ever be advantageous to the sellers in bulk. Individuals can get more for their cotton in this market by selling as individuals. On last Thursday, the Associated Refornied Presbyterian Synod, South, convened in the A. R. P. Church here. The opening sermon from Heb. 8:5, was preached by the retiring Moderator, Rev. S. A. Aa iew. Upon organizatiou it was found t..at the wereninety dele gates present, of whom fifty-four were clerical. The Rev. D. G. Caldwell was elected Moderator for the ensuing synodical year. This synod is a large and very inter esting body. It is composed of eight dit-erent Presbyteries throughout the South. The first two days of synod were mostly spent in hearing the re ports from these different Presbyteries, which all showed the church to be in a live, growing condition. Six hundred members have been added during the past year. The Foreign Mission work of the church is confined to Tampico, Mexico, at which point they need an additional female teacher. The report on Erskine College showed it to be in a flourishing condition. It is an institu tion of which the synod isjustly proud. Reports from other committees were favorably received. Rev. J. C. Boyd D. D., of Pennsylvania, a delegate from the U. P. Church of North America, was present, and im an able and forcible effort presented the salutations of his church. The Moderator responded in fitting terms. On Sunday morning the Moderator, D. (*. Caldwell, preached to a crowded house from Rev. 5: 8. The discourse was an able one on the death of Christ. After the sermon the Sacramen t of the Lord's Supper was administered to a large communion. Rev. H. M. Henry conducted services in the Lutheran church. Sunday night services were conducted in the A. R. P. Church by Rev. WV. WV. Orr, and in the Lutheran church by Rev. Mr. Lowry. On Moni day the umost important business of the Synod was transacted. Among other important.miatters, was the r'-port of the committee on the re-organization of the. Theological Seminary, which rc - commended that the same be reorgan ized to go into effect one year hence, that the Faouity of the lnstitution, consist of a President and two Pro. fessors, instead of three as formerly. The report was adopted anid an election at once was held which resulted in the choice oi Rev. W. L. Pressley D). D). President, Rev. WV. M. Grier D). D., and Rev. R. Lathan D). D., Professors.

Creole Coffee and the Creole Society-The Second Oldest Town in the Country The Cotton and the Pine. [Special to The Herald and News.] MOnGAN C,T, St. Mary's,La.,Oct. 22. -Creole coffee is just the finest I ever tasted. It is not necessary to drink a half pint of water to get a spoonful of cotfee. You just get your spoonful of coffee in liquid state. The coffee cups are regular little cu riosities in themselves. They resemble top cups more than anything else. An after dinner coffee cup holds about as much as a half egg-shell. We do not drink the coffee, just sip it, one drop at a time. No milk or cream is used-only sugar, and as much of the later as will dissolve, which is an as tonishingly large amount; really, all the better, if more is used than will dissolve, for then a little sugar on the tip of the spoon and a drop of coffee make a delicious sip. Coffee is served early in the morn ing, when a fellow is snoozing away dreaming of his best girl. In the mid dle of the. most interesting-the most entracitig part-a succession of taps changes the whole dream. For in the dr-an, the tars are interpreted as the vi ainous assault of some "houdoo" upon your personal rights. But the continous appiication of the knuckle to the doo--panel arouses you. -It is an eifrt, ' but you respond. When the knocker realizes that you are awake he comes in and announces that he has brought you coffee, and if you were not betfer posted in Creole customs than I was, you would be pretty apt to ask why he brought the coffee,and at the same time inform him that you were not sick, and that you would, if breakfast were not already served, be down to it presently. Then he, with eyes filled with astonishment, would stare at you and inqui-e if you didn't want any coffee, and inimediately in form you that it would be two or three hours. before breakfast; that you were expected to take coffee and sleep on till informed that it was time to pre pare for breakfast. It is an unpardon able sin not to show this favor to guests. I am catching on to the cus toms now, so that when I go to a new place, I always tell my. hostess, if I think of it, that under no circumstan ces do I take coffee before getting up, and that it is the luxtiry of my life to be allowed to sleep undisturbed till breakfast. In so far as this custom goes I have not yet become Creolized. There is the habit of after dinner coffee drinking that I very much admire, i. e., I like the coffee. When dinner and dessert have have been served, then comes the coffee; it is sip, sip, sip. The coffee pot that will hold a quart is a very large one. They are usually about half that size. They are all two stories high. The upper story has a sieve bottom, very fine; the dry coffee is placed in the upper story and hot water applied. The water filters through, and is termed "dripped cof fee." Boiled coffee does not approach this make. All Creoles drink coffee. It is more to be expected that they would go without food, or even clothing, than without this necessity. It is their delight to take it in the morning before getting up, after dinner, and again in the eve ning. Nothing surpasses good coffee for putting the young swain in proper trim for an evening's entertainment; there is none of the unnatural sparkle whch intoxicants induce, but just the fullness of nature. And to the fair maiden it adds the entrancing dreami ness ofieyes. You know these girls are renowned for their fasciniating d reami ness of eyes any way, and coffee but forces nature to her best. It has been said that this article of food makes the complexion dark, and I have known girls who refused to drink it on this ac count. That is all bosh. I know that Creole coffee is stronger than any other I have ever seen, and that Louisianna suns are warmer than those of Tennessee, or any of the hill country, and Venus never kissed fairer cheeks in any land, save one, than Louisiana. Dancing is the amiusement in tbis town, and I might say in most towns that I have visited. Three or four balls a week is moderate. Excess would be seven times a week, allowing that the seventh ball1 came when the dreamy eyed maiden ought to be at confession. The hops begiin about eleven in the evening and continue until-any time before sun up next morning. Of course all dance, little folks as well as grown people, old as well as young. If one knewv all about how to shake his toe, and all the late fancy French names for such amusements, he would be pretty well equipped for enjoyment, otherwise he would be at a loss to know how to be agreeable. It is not to be understood that culture is so limite I as it would seem is here indicated. For this is but one phase of society and culture; it is but one of the ways that the pleasure loving Frenchman enjoys himself.

By the use of the Royal Baking Powder the crust is always rendered light, flaky, tender and di gestible. Dumplings made with it, baked or boiled,will be dainty and wholesome,and may be eaten steaming hot with perfect impunity. REcEuPr.-One quart of flour: thoroughly mixwith it three teaspoons of Royal Baking Powderaad.asmall teaspoon of salt; rub in a piece of butter or lard the size of an egg, and then add one large potato, grated in the four; after the butter is well mixed, stir in milk and knead to the consistency of soft biscuit dough; break off pieces of dough large enough to close over four quarters of an apple (or other fruit as desired) without rolling, and lay in an earthen dish (or steamer) and steam until the fruit is tender. Bake if preferred. In all receipts calling for cream of tartar and soda, substitute Royal Baking Powder. Less trouble, never fails, makes more appe tizing and wholesome food and is more eco nomical.
