Bean, D. 11., editor of the Southern Presbyterian, writes about a recent visit to Newberry: "Newberry County is one of the counties in South Carolina in which the Presbyterians are not numerous. There are only four organized ehurches and two pastors to supply these. We have just ret-rned from a visit to Smyrna church, five miles from New berry, and bad the pleasure of assist ing Rev. J. W. McClure, the pastor of Smyrna, in a meeting There was preaching once on Saturday, and twice on Sunday when the Lord's Supper was sadministered. A heavy storm of rain and thunder, which came up after the assembling of the large congrega tion, rendered it difficult to hear any thing that was said,, and kept all in the church for the mid-day repast. On Monday morning there was another service, and Mr. McClure announced preaching Monday night. There were two additions on professions of faith and it is hoped that others will follow. Mr. McClure tendered his resignation as pastor, he having received a call to Richburg and Longtown churches in Bethel Presbytery. The South Caro lina Presbytery is to meet n..xL, week to eonsider his resignation. "The Aveleigh church, Newberry, of which Rev. J. S. Cozby, D. D., is pas tor, is a very attractive and conveueut building, It has been newly re modeled within and without,and with its hard wood finish of native pine, its stained glass windows, and cowforta ble pews, it is one of the neatest and most comfortable churches in this State. Should Mr. McClure's resigna tion be accepted and his pastoral rela tion with his two churches dissolved, Dr. Cozby will be left as the sole rep resentative of the Presbyterian minis try 'in Newberry' County. "It is a sign of decided progress in our towns to see what excellent public school buildings have been recently erected in many places, Abheville, Sumter and Newberry have new and handsome school-hauses, which are most attractive and well appointed. Other towns are undertaking the erec tion of new buildings, and South Caro lina will soon be supplied with the best school-houses that can be devised."

It contained many sledge hammer blows. We wish he could preach that sermon to every congregation in this country. The central idea was that true greatness consisted in service. No man was independent but that man only was truly great who best served his day and generation. The principal aim of life shord not be to get all out of the world that we can b,ut to put more in it. By empting ourselves in the service of others we are made full. It would be a great thing for this world if we could get rid of much of the selfishness and nlarrowness and bitterness and meanness that pervades many of its citizens, &c. We hope the Rev.

The County Commissioners, in jus tice to themselves, feel it their duty to make the following statement: In November, 1891, the levy for or dinary county funds was reduced from 31 mills to 21 mills. That reduced levy is to pay the county's obligations in the fiscal year of 1892-93. Had all the taxes been collected the 2.' mills levy would have been sufficient to run the present year. The amount that was not collected is $1,713.17. Making no reflections upon any pre vious county administration, let us make the following comparison: The funds spent in the fiscal year, begin ning November, 1891, and ending No vember, 1892, were $13,754.35, while the present fiscal year, on account oIf the reduced levy, must be run on $10,532.65, thereby making a difference of $3,221.70.

Gov't Report. Powder ELY PUR Thry Went to Trinity. You may talk about hard times, but the hardest time you ever saw was had by some ladies last Sunday trying to get to Trinity church. in this coun ty. Saturday night they thought they were solid, as they had secured the promise of a conveyance for next day. So they went to sleep with easy minds and slept the sleep of innocence. But alas for the frailty of earthly hopes and of all things human. "The best laid plans of mice and men gang aft aglee," and so does the best laid plan of mouse and woman-sometimes, but not often. The day came, but the ve bicle failed to put in its appearance the man had actually forgotten his promise to the ladies aud another party had slipped in and taken posses sion of the turnout Trinitywards. WVbat was to be done? It would never do not to get to Trinity! "Tempus" was "fugiting," or words to tbatetfect, and whatever was to do must be done quickly. A one-horse wagon was pro cured-but no atnimna: yet. At that moment they would have given a kingdom aud three or four biscuits for a blind old humped-back mule, let alone horse. It was not beauty they cared for in this connection; it was anything to make connection-except perhaps the "Boyd goat." A "Black Res." or a "Rosinante" either could answer the purpose nicely. It would have taken a good deal to console them at this juncture. Even the contents of "Schopenhauer's Pessimism, or the Philosophy of Despair," coald not have resigned them to their condition. Be cause they had gone to Smyrna the previous Sunday and enjoyed them selves, though one of the fair creatures did get dumped in the mud and it a raining, was no reason why they must content themselves quietly this Sun day. Past joy doesn't count: present happiness consists chiefly in anticipa tion. "you know," so they were going to Trinity or know the reason why, and it was the "reason why" that was "a-bothering of them, says she." They hustled around lively and the neigh borhood was scoured in search of an animule or something, they cared not what, so it could pall. When a woman will she will, somebody once said, and I believe him. You may depend on that forever. Putting as much energy into the enterprise as it they were going to the World's Fair orlEurope, they finally succeeded in getting a steed. After all their trouble there was no driver. The chap who had accepted the invitation to hold the reins backed down and out at the ap pointed time. A dude was invited to arive on the spur of the moment, but he couldn't occupy the driver's seat beeause his shoes were dilapidated and infirm and he didn't want to expose his toes to the curious gaze of the as tonished .multitude. Several others were asked to pull them out of the bole ot difficulty, but "with one ac cord they all began to make excuses:" one had a previous engagement, and so it went. At last, at last, when hope was about to end in despair, when ead ness was beginning to settle over their hearts, a colored fellow, like a silver lining to a dark cloud, or a bright ray through the gloom, or an apple of gold in a picture of silver, or something like that, was brought to the rescue. Thbeir bright eyes grew brighter now, and gladness shone with its accustomed halo on their counitenances. They got there. Late, but-they got there, and the round trip was made in such quick time that one of them thought the dashboard was in the hind end. NEEDLE. Laces and Embroideries at tf DAVENPORT & RENWICK'S. Eread.

The corn crop in this neighborhood will not average more than one-half of a crop to that of last year.

Mrs. Stone got up on dut~itay morning as usual and prepared her b.reakfast atter which she was taken suddenly ill and suffered great pain until 7 o'clock p. m. whben her spirit passed quietly away. Mrs. Stone was just in the bloom of young womanhood, t eing 27 years, 3 months and 21 days olId. Ini her death the community has lost a good neighbor and the church a faitbftul member.

The teport of the First Month's BusInesm Does Not Make a Promising Finaneial Showing In the State. [Special to News and Courier.1 COLUMBIA, August 12.-Governor Tillmnan has changed his mind. That is perhaps funny, but it is a fact. Per haps it is not altogether a change, but it is an amendment to his original opinion. Last June he was quoted as estimating the minimum profit for the dispensary for the first year at half million dollars. He thought it could not be less with the sale of liquor aggre gating a million gallons, At that time be thought the dispensary law wduld curtail the consumption of liquor by about one-third. He now thinks after viewing the operations of the law that the law will decrease the consumption by one-half. He now says that he stands by his statement that the first year's business will (after the things gets into good shape) be at least $500, 000. He has had no reason to change his mind on this subject, he says, and as soon as all "blind tigers" are killed out and dispensaries are generally established he thinks his prediction will be verified. When I asked Governor Tillman whether the falling off in sales was not much more than he anticipated he re marked: "I am that much 'gladder.' I think that with all the chunks a--id injunc tions and stumos that the dispensary has had up to this time it has been a howling success, both as a temperance movement and a, a revenue producer for the State." Governor Tillman says that the keep ing up of the constabulary costs from $100 to $150 per day. The statement for July does not indicate that large an amount, but Governor Tillman ex plains that by saying that there are now from forty to fifty constables em ployed and that about the 1st of July be was just getting things into shape. He is now pruning down the force, getting new ones, and "hanging up," some of those already on his lists. The long expected report of the July business of the dispensary has not "turned out" to be what was expected. The report does not give the amount of income from tho various county dis pensaries. This Governor Tiliman ex plains by saying that so few of the places were opened for the month that he thoght it unfair to give the few figures that had been received, and especially as all of them were for only portions of the month. The statement, however, shows a great many very interesting facts.

[The first tabrNted!' report shows that the sum of $89,910.71 has been spent for whiskey and the other items --constabulary, fixtures, etc.-makela total expense of $118.831.90, out of the appropriation of $50,000.-ED; H. & N.1 The following statement indicate the aiount of liquor shipped to the vari ous county dispensaries: AMOUNT SOLD TO COUNTY DISPENSERS.
