Last Thursday afternoon the out buildings on Mr. Thomas Cook's lot were destroyed by fire. It was by hard effort that the dwelling was saved. It caught, but by the use of blankets the house was saved. Those who turned out worked hard. The fire engine did not begin to play until the fire was under control. The origin of the fire is unknown. There was no insurance on the buildings burned. The furniture and dwelling were insured. The greatest loss was to the furniture in moving it out, although Mr. Cook had considerable meat and flour in one of the out buildings whiei was de stroyed. Mr. W. F. Ewart, who has rooms there, sustained some damage to his furniture in moving although not much of his was taken out. Smoked Tongues And Dried Beef at McIntosh's.

Our community was shocked when the announcement was made last Sat urday night, the 16th instant, that An drew J. Kilgore was dead. His illness was short, and it was not generally known that he was sick. It can be truthfully said that a good man has gone. Scarcely could any other man have been taken from us who would have been more missed. His church, his ieighbors, and in a word the entire county will feel his death. He was born and passed his whole life on the place where he died. He went with the first companies that left this coun ty for the late war and made a gallant soldier, doing his full duty there-as was his rule through life. He, with CoL J. C. S. Brown and Col. Won. Les ter, was elected County Commissioner in 1882, and the Board was said to be one of the best the county ever had. The last years of his life were spent on the farm with his children, his wife having preceded him to the grave. His re mains were buried at Ebenezer ceme tery on Monday afternoon, followed by a large concourse of sympathizing friends from almost every section of the county. He wa in his lifty-ninth year. _____ __ Bware of Ointments for Catarrh that con tain Mercury, sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces.

The !iorious festival of Ea=ter-the queen festival of the ecelesiastical year -,.as appropriateiy celebrated at the above churches inst Suuday. The early moriing was not bright, but altogethcr the day was propitious, and the attend auce at the various churches was very good. The time-hionor;d custom of arraying the early Christan Church in vest mentts of living green, and the growing tenziency of observing the festival in other c:) urches-notably the Methodist -sati fies the sentiment of religion! What can be more appropriate, beau tiful and pleasing than to bring flow ers- -bright and fragrant flowers-sym bols of holiness and types of purity and love.incss of character, into the sacred edifice on the resurrection morning, in honor of the One compared to the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valley? Luther Chapel, the Church of the Reformation, was brilliantly and be comingly adorned for the risen bride groom who is coming to receive his bride-the Church! Ivy vines grace fullyclung to the columns and ran along the galleries, preparing the beholder for the bewildering blaze of beauty within the chance!. A tracery of ten drils relieved the. chaucel wll, over which arose the inscription-"1. II. S." Behind the pulpi.t a pyramid of grow ing flovers was seen. The altar, read ing desk, chancel rail, etc., were richly dressed with floral tributes and frt;ged with violets and pale buds. An ex quisitely worked Maltese cross appear ed on the pulpit facing. The winiows on either side of the chancel bore suit able inscriptions. On the left, "The Sun of Righteousness Hath Risen," and on the right were the words, Wby Seclt the Living Among the Dead." A large cross, rising out of a mound of rock and profusely covered with white flowers, stood before one window which was open showing a dark recess made by heavy foliage to represent the tomb, and a miniature p:rt.rre of pct plants at the other. The windows were darkened from without by thick foliage in order that lighted waxen tapers should shed a soft, subdued light, thereby lending addi ttonal sp!endour to the scene and sug gesting the twilight hour of the resur rect ion. The musical portion of the service was exceptionally fine. At the close of the morning service the pastor, Rev. Mr. Schaelier, con fi rnied tne candidates for church men bership and administered the holy sacrament to more than a hundred communicants. At night MIt. Sehaeflir delivered an argumentative discourse on the incon trovertible testimony in proof of the resurrection, from sacred and profane sources alike. The Methodist church, Rev. W. W. Daniel's charge, was also tastefully decorated in honor of the day. Among the pleasing designs were the sacred legend-upon which the hope of the Church of Christ is built-"The Lord is Rtisen"-which was suspended in front of the chancel, and a pure white dove above the altar, typifying the very life and spirit of the Church. The pastor preached to the congregation in his usual happy vein and in a sermon appropriate to the occasion. At night t'ie "Juvenile Missionary Society" criebrated its anniversary in a well-arranged programme consisting of sacred song, prayer and recitations. The exercises wvere opened by a beauti ful song of welcome and a wvelcoming address. Trhe parts taken by the chiil dren were happily sustained ar'd the audience was delighted with the exhi bition.

St. Luke's was arrayed in its usua4 exquisite man tier for the gloriousEaster festival. In the vestibule a cross im bedded in mioss-cove'red rock, and artis tically covered with azelias, jasmine, blue flags, etc,,was.well-arranged and at once attracted the attention of all who entered the sanctuary. But it was imn med iately in front of the chancel and within the beautiful little chancel that a perfect picture of loveliness was pre ented. In front of the chancel a bed of moss revealed a magnificent setting of gera nium flowers-rich in coloring and in the variety and beauty of tone and tint. Graceful ferns above this bed miingled their sprays, and to the back of these, and pyramidal in form, was a charm ing cluster of calla lilies. This was a floral gem. Above the radiant altar cross was a crown of the large white imnmortec, and behind the cross a de sign of palm which seemed, as it were, a halo to the cross. D)elicate ivy vines clambered along the walls to the arch, the whoie making a scene of incom parable beauty in the simplicity of its onstruct ion. Capt. N. B. Mazyck, the lay reader of St. Luke's, read an eloquent Easter sermon and the choir rendered the joy ous Easter anthems, chants and hymns with happy effect.

SHEPP ARD IN NEWB,ERttY. lie Delivers a Strong and Con,servative speech in the Opera House-A .arge Crowd Present. F,or an impromptu meeting, the one in the opera house Monday night was a howling success. No one seemed to know anything about it. There wa. no flourish of trumpets beforehand. But when the hour arrived the opera house was well tiiled, about )tiu persons being preseut. Gov. Sheppard hail been invited by telegram to spend the night in New berry on his return front t he Greenville meeting. and he accepted. Persons got word of it in the country and there were a itutuher present from. several miles front town. Dr. Holland opened the ieetimg with prayer. Mr. J. E. Crosby, president of the t Factory De;nocratic Ciub, pre .ided at 4 the meeting and introduced Gov. Shep pard. He said: "Felow-itizens-I 1 have the honor of intro'ltici:tg to you to-night the Hon. .J no. C. Sheppard, one of the candidates for Uovernor. I hope you will give him the best of at ten ion. Mr. Sheppard will now ad dress ou." As Gov. Sheppard stepped to the front of the rostrun he was greeted with round after round of apphlase. He said: "Mr. Chairma.ln and Fellow citizens of Newberry:-It aftords me great gratification to be permitted once more to appear before you. I have been the recipient at the hands of the people of New berry of mrany kind nesses. I long ago made up mry mind C never to forego the pleasure of an op- t portunity toappear before theimh. When e I received the telegram this mormnig I I did not hesitate. I promise you.;in the e absence of my opponent, I shall not ' violate any of the proprietit s of honor- t able debate. I propose to ri-cuss the ( issues before the people calnity and de- i liberately, without passion, for Gods knows we have had enough of bitter- t ness, of abuse, of vili;ication, of viru pelation. I shall not imitate my coi- C petitor in this. So far as I ai col- ; cerned, I shall conduct myself and this campaign in such a spirit of kind- a ness and friendliness, that when the result is known we can go hand in t hand and vote for the nominees- r "Some men have already said that i this movement is incipient inde- i pendentism. They speak what they l know to be false, or they do not know . me. The time has never been, nor will ever comie, when I shall lead or follow any movement that looks to the disintegration of the white people of South Carolina. The future welfare and prosperity of South Carolina de pend up->n white supremacy and white supremacy depends upon Democratic unity. "I propose to illustrate that the charges mlrade by Gov. Tilluan against his predecessors are without foundation and that his promises have not been p-.rforned, and if this can be established 0 it will follow that he is no longer en titled to the suffrages of the people. "His promise was that he would re form the extravagance of former ad ministrations, which lie had denounced most bitterly. The first thing he did was to spend $300 to erect a platform t upon which to take the oath of office. 7 He next recommended that the poll tax be increased from $1 to $3. At that t time there were $129,612 from poll tax. f He proposed to increase it to $3SS,83. 1 Yet he talks about being the friend of v the poor man. The rich man can af- i ford to pay a three dollar poll tax, but ~ there are plenty of men who walk be- f tween the plow handle sand work in I ur mills upon whom such a tax wotuldI be a burden." Mr. Sheppard then quoted some fig- t ures from the records. Mr. Tillman t ad charged Gov. Richardson's admin- 9 istration with extravagance. The lastt year of Gov. Richardson's administra lion the appropriation for the executive c epartment was $115,800. The first year of Gov. Tillman's administration for the same purpose it was $123f,0S5, and the second year it was $120,935. In another depart ment where the expen litures under Richardson for the last l year were $43,825, under Trillman for i the same purpose the appropriation was i 52,385.t Mr. Sheppard said he did not claim t that these a ppropriations were extrava-1 gat, but they show how utterly with- ~ ut foundation and injustiliable wvere c the campaign charges and criticisms of Gov.Tillman, or if not, how much more open to censure and critIcism Gov. Tillmian is titan those whom lhe so a abused. GJov. Tillnman talked about the num- e rous offices and high salaries of the 3 lerks in the departments. No otticer has been cut off and no salary reduced. a He denounced others for taking free a passes, and he had not been in office 1 sixty days before he had one him- e self. It is a record of glaring incon- t sistencies. When the Legislatore er- e ted(ed the ime for paying taxes andr while be had the bill upon hi, desk, a d plain farmer from Rock Hill tele- t graphed Gov. Tillman the simple ques-i tion, "Has the time for paying taxes f been extended?" The answer was c "no." At that moment the Governor ~ of South Carolina had not paid his own taxes, because he knew that wbi! ^ time had not been extended it wo.m be; but lie deceived this poor farmer who had to scuffle around to pay his tax to avoid, as he though, the penalty. But some one may say these are smiall things. What we wvant to know hiast the tax been reduced in the aggregate. The tax that you will be called upon tot pay this year witll be more than it wast last year. But some one says the levy g last year was 4.1 mnills and this year 44. s That is true, buit the question is how do the number of dollars compare. To talk about the levy being reduced is a miserable fraud, for any thing is a fraud that is intended to deceive the people. Mr. Sheppard then gave the rigures to show the facts. Tfhe assessment of - property for last year amtounted to I 15,632,431. For this year $163,262, 69. Last year the taxes paid were $67,711. This year you will be called upon to pay $714,116. At this poinit an ardent Tillmnanite, who was present, could stand it no longer, and shouted faintly, "hurrah for Tillman" which wasalmost entirely , ]ost by the applause for Sheppard. Gov. Sheppard said we could excuse and overlo,ok Gov. Tillman's failure to keep his promises;- we could overlook his taking the free pass; wve could over look the increased expenditure of the public funds; but even if ini charity we could excuse all these things, there was another matter that was inexcusable and will not only follow Gov. Tillman E while he lives, but will rest heavily I upon his tomb to the end of time. It di has been hi.s deliberate and constant and persistent purp)ose to array one class of our people against another. We l' have a common destiny and our inter ests are one, and( no good citizen will endeavor to arouse class prejudices. It is horrible, it is execrable and mneritsty the uueqtualified1 couderimnatiot, of all I' good peopile.. The speech was a good one an~d lis tened to with marked attention.

Mr. A. Q. Clark died at his residence on South Grove street at 9:.5 this morn ing, after three months' almost constant confinement to his bed with kidney trouble. He was conscious up to the last moment, though his suffering was intense. At no time during his illness did he show any fear of death, yet he knew that it was slowly approaching. Alexander Quay. Clark was born at Catrine, Ayershire, Scotland, on March 29th, 1817. Was married in Newberry, S. C., on April 19, 1849, to Miss A. E. Lyons. They moved to Texas in 18.59, and had resided in Marshall ever B since. Mr. Clark leaves a loving, de voted wife and three sons to mourn his .oss. She who for forty-three years has )een his constant companion in sick ness and in health sat by his side throughout the long hours of the night, holding and caressing his hand, and was at her post when the great sum mons came. Mr. Clark was a good man, an excel lent citizen. For several years after the war he had charge of the county and district clerk's office being deputy for M~r. E. Blackwell, who resided in the country. He was also honored with -the custody of the city's money, as I treasurer, four years, and until the 1 dluties of that office were imposed upon r the secretary. He was more than three t score years and ten, and died in the r full enjoyment of the respect and con 1 fidence of all who knew him. He will ite buried at Greenwood cemetery at 2 So'clock to-morrow afternoon, by the Masons and Odd Fellows, of which orders he was a member. Funeral ser t vices at the Presbyterian church.

Farm work is pressing; many are through planting corn, and some have a good deal of cotton planted. Gardens are backward; Mrs. Work man's is the nicest we have seen. Mr. J. N. Brown, Jr., who has beer. spending the past month with relatives in No. i,, returned to his home at An derson h'st Saturday. Prof. T. W.

Longshore, Rev. W. J. Langston officiating. The bride is the accomplished daughter of the late W. S. Brown, a prominent lawyer of Anderson, and has been teaching in the community far one or two seasons. She is a most excellent teacher, and the patrons regret very much to give her up. The groom is one of No. 4s nicest, best and most progressive young men. Miss Lilian Rowland. one of No. G's belles, and Prof. T. W. Gary acted as bridesmaid and groomsman. We wish our friends a long and happy journey through life. and much success be theirs. There was an entertainsng and very appropriate Easter service at the Trinity Methodist chur'h last Sunday. We give the programme below. EaciD one recited their pieces well. Opened by hymn 915, "From all the dark places of earths heathen races." Prayer by Rev. W. T. Wooten. Scripture reading, John 20: 1-18, by Rev. W. T. Wooten. Recitation, "Our Welcome," by Henry Reeder. Song No. 892, "Around the throne of God in hen-,m thousands of children stand."

On hills, and dales, and green banks write." Yes, those bright winged Secretaries of the Most high, write, as he dictates, in glowing language; spreading the earth an open Book from which we can glean profit as well as pleasure. How gratefully, then, should we scan its beautiful pages, giving loving wor ship to the author. Farmers busy working with all their might-planting corn and some cotton. Hope again beckons them on, cheerful looks are again resumed, and they grip the plow-bandles with a vim as they follow in the wake of the bright-faced goddess. Poultry, universally, dying. Afraid the good shepherds that watch o'er the spiritual welfare of our people will wait and watch in vain for fried chicken at "big meetin" dinners. The lords of the fowl yard are first to suc cumb to the fell monster, then the fe males quietly wilt by their side; there fore, the second edition will be of little profit. Health of community good, every body ready and willing to empty their plates, and politely pass them back to be refilled. Walking skeletons are not to be seen among us, and we need no medicine to encourage corpulence. This neighborhood is poisonous to dys peptics; for, being hale and hearty, from honest persevering labor, the "sons of the soil," and their worthy families, patronize the substantials of life. Sweetmeats are preserved in the good wives' closets, for future reference. The 25 cents mule can gallop. He re volves as h~e locomotes; perhaps he is trying to say in those revolutions that he'll work "the year round"; yet, should he take a straight course, I wouldn't advise any one to fox-hunt on him if they rish to be able to recount the result of the chase. His sable owner rolls his eyes up in grati tude for his mule's convalescence, leav ing only the whites exposed; which re minds us of that good old song, "Cotton eyed Joe." A few evenings since, one of my young lady pupils and I took a trip of a few miles. WVe walked, and started after school was dismissed. April be ing in one of her treacherous moods, gave us sunshine until within half way of destination, then down came moist ure. She wept o'er us until tears ran down umbrellas, flooded the roads, fields, and ran down our cheeks; yet mine were tears of laughter, while my companion looked calm and dignified, but our appearance was so wo-begone we feared our entertainers wolud tell us to be-gone! We soon left thbe flooded road and planted our feet in one of our neigh bor's corn fields; but alas! 'twas a weak foundation, for our pedal sank into thbe marshy ground, which resulted in vigorous pulls and long-metred moans of despair. The young corn wilted and bowed its head under our tread. Farmer says he'll indiet us for trespass, but it was a distressed pass to us; yet i'm willing to) pay one cent a track in postage stamps, being more appropriate from the many stamps we put on the corn. Perhaps he'll take my pretty compan'ion for pay, and I'll save my stampiw. Our debating society of "St. Phiip'vs Academy" progresses rapidly. J. B.

Washington and Columbus, as opponents, have~ been so eloquently handled I wonder their "shades" don't rise and decide the sub~ jeet by engaging in single combat. "Which is more attractive to man, Art or Nature?" was last subject dis cussed. Grand old Nature put Art to flight. Otf course nature furnishes a; model for the work of art. Messrs. S. Halfacre, R.

I r Inter-Colegiate Conrerence, On Friday, April 1th, a conference of representatives of the college3 of South Carolina, took place at GUreen wood. The object was to arrive at some agreement in regard to the terms of admission tothe Freshmon Class. Rep resentatives were present from Furainn, Wofford, Erskine, Clinton, Newberry and South Carolina Colleges. Rev. Dr.. Woodrow presided: Prof. A. G. Voi.t acted as -secretary. The meeting was very pleasant ard more than that suc cessful. A list of requirements, sueb as is believed m(,st colieges of the State will approve, was agreed upon. These proposed conditions of admission will probably appear in the eo!!lge cata logues. At any rate the conference resolved to request this favor from the colleges. Another conference will be held in connecton wish the State Teachers'Association in Co! rbia, July 19-21, at which time specimen exami nation papers for adiis.-iou to the Freshman Class will be considered. The colleges are requested, by the Greenwood Conference, to furnisn such papers. One important resolutiooi adopted at Greenwood was to invite teachers of academies, preparatory and fitting schools to attend the meetingo f the State Teachers' Association in July. This movement which Las thus au. piciously been inauguratod, was ini tiated by Dr. Manly, of Furman Uni versity, and Dr. Grier, of Erskiue Col lege. . . The Republican Convention. The T'nird Congressional District Convention met in the Court House at Walhalla, S. C.. April 14, 1S92. The convention was called to order by H. H. Owens, the district chairman. W. A. Clark, of Anderson, S. C., was elected secretary. Prayer was offered by Rev. C. S. Bradlev. The roll was called and twenty-seven delegates answered to their names. Maj. J. H. Ford ham, of Orangeburg, Prof. T. A. Saxon, of Laurens, B. F. Means, of Spartanburg, and Henry Kennedy, of Charleston, were inviteJ to address the convention, which they did. The convention resolved to go into an election of two delegates to the Na tional Republican Convention. B. Nee ly, D. A. Perrin and A. Q. Haynie were appointed tellers. Jno. R. Coch ran, of Oconee, and A. J. Jamison, of Abbeville, were elected delegates to the National Republican Convention, which mrets at Minneapolis, Minn., June 7, 1892. R. R. Tolbert, Jr., and Lewis C. Wailer, of Abbeville, were elected alternate delegates. Resolutions were passed endorsing the administration of President Benj. Harrison as wise and patriotic. Resolutions were passed condemning the so-called Reform Republican party of this State. After passing resolutions thanking the clerk of court for the use of the court house, to the citizens of Walhalla for their kind hospitality, the conven tion adjourned. H. H. OwENS, Chairman. W. A. CLARK, Secretary. This Happened in Newlerry. Some time last year G moved into town to engage in business. About a week since one of his old neighbors came to pay him a visit; he drove up to the gate and opened one side of the gate and made an effort to drive in. After making repeated efforts and fail ing, he began complaining, "well, it does beat all, just so soon as a man moves to town, he gets so stuck up he does not want old friends to visit him."' Speaking to G's wife he said "you tell John to make his gate large enough to let his friends drive into his lot with a buggy." "But Pa" said his little son, "that is a double gate." That was a revelation which made G at once re- - member that hie had business farther on. MARRIED, April 14, 1892, at the residence of Mrs. A. J. Longshore, by Rev. WV. J. Langston, Mr. J. Craig Gary to Miss AMice Brown. Most people, many of whom know better, in answering the question: "Who's that?" invariably say. "It's me." Now everybody knows. Er should know, that the correct form is: "It is L." But then we all, more or less, from association and custom, fall into these little inaccuracies. A lady who recently went to Ch,rles ton met with a loss in a mysterious manner. In her valise, which was clasped, not locked, and placed with the baggage, wvere a pair of shoes and a pair of slippers. On reaching the city and wishing a change of shoes she opened her valise to find a package con taining~ one srhoe and a slipper. When she returned home she was told that both pairs had been put in the valise a shoe and a slipper together. She thought this could not possibly be so, and opened the satchel to disprove the statement, when to her dismay the shoe and slipper had disappeared. The only solution of the mystery was that somewhere, between Helena and Charleston. one bundle containing a shoe and a slipper was taken and the other left to disappear on the return.
