The town primary was held yester day. It was a very quiet election an< everything passed oft very pleasantly Candidates were very slow in annonnec ing themselves. Last week a full ticke was nominated in The Herald anc News, but some of them declined tc make the race. Up to the last day ii looked as if Dr. Jones was to have n( opposition for re-election but on the eve of the election several men entered the arena and there were opposing can didates in every ward except Ward 3 The candidates were: For Mayor, Dr E. C. Jones and J. R. Davidson. Foi Aldermen: Ward 1, John W. Tayloi and Proctor Todd; Ward 2, E. Caba niss and F. A. Schumpert; Ward 3, W. F. Ewart; Ward 4, G. A. Langford and John H. Wicker. Mr. Davidson had no idea of making the race until late on Monday night, and then only consented on the earn est solicitation of some of his friendE among the young men of the town. As it was, however, he made a credita. ble race. There seems to be an un. written law that a mayor must have two terms. Dr. Jones has not bad a full term, being elected only thiE spring for the unexpired term of Mayor Blalock. The result of the election for alder men, however, gives as an entirely new deal. Only two of the present alder men were candidates for re-election -Langford and Schumpert. The result of the election yesterday was: FOR MAYOR. E. C. Jones..........................17 J. R.

An Aged Colored Woman Dies-A Horse Breaks His Neck-Two Children Cre mated in Their Own House. iSpecial to The Herald and News.] PROSPERITY, S. C., Dec. 5.-Yester day was a day of misfortune and sad ness in the history of our colored friends in Prosperity and vicinity. The usual quiet and serenity of our town was broken by the announcement yesterday morning, of the sudden death of an aged colored woman, Caroline Rice, of Columbia, who was living here, with her son, Rev. H. E. Lewis. She was a respect*le Christian woman, aged about 68 years. Paralysis was the cause of death. Quickly following this announce ment, was the running away in town of a good horse attached to a buggy, belonging to Washington Dominick. a well-to-do colored man. The horse became frightened at a passing train, broke loose from where he was hitched and had not run more than fifty yards, before the buggy overturned, the horse fell and broke his neck. This is a severe loss to Wash in these hard times. The colored people had not recovered from the excitement attendant to these two events, when it was widely an nounced that a holocaust had occurred on the "Spence place" about two miles from town. This correspondent im mediately proceeded to the scene of desolation, misery and death. Upon arrival a sickening sight presented it self. The comfortable home, of Levi Baukuight and wife had passed into ashes and smoke, and amid the burning coals was the crisp remains of their two little girls, one aged five years and the other nearly two years. The facts as I could gather them from the suffer ing husband and father are these: Bauknight's wife was in child bed with an infant just a week old. He, himself, has been having chills and fever. His wife complained,of cold feet, and asked him to heat a i,rick and place to her feet. He did se. In a short time his wife told him to remove the brick that it was too hot. Upon removing the brick he found that the bedding had caught fire from the hot bricc. Bauknight now seems to have utter ly lost his senses, and instead of easily extinguishing, what was evidently a very small affair, his effortsonly tended to excite and fan the little fire until it became a blaze. His wife managed to get out of the bed on the floor. He then just began fighting the flame, and threw an old quilt around his sick wife, and carried her out into the field. He returned for the infant, secured it, and carried it to its mother, thinking to re turn for his other two children who were shut up In the other end of the house, but he found that the old quilt had ignited, or was on fire when he carried his wife out, and had set his wife's thin clo,thes on fire, and in his mad frantic efforts to extinguish his wife's clothing, his own caught fire. What an awful ordeal of mental and bodily suffering for Banknight aud his wife. Their two little girls burning up in the house, with no means of escapo, and they themselves both burning and Shelpless. At this critical juncture, a rpassing colored man came to their rescne, and In a cool calm manner, suc ceeded in extinguishing the flames from he burning clothes of Bauknight and his wife, but too late to render any assistance to the little girls In the house. .Bauknight was so bereft of reason when his rescuer, Jim Bridges arrived, that he was making no effort to ex tinguish either himself or wife, but was lying fiat on the ground face downward with his clothes burning on his back, seemingly perfectly uncons cl ons of his torture. Tehous was a good new frame building and burned very rapidly. The physician thinks that while Bauknight and his wife are painfully burned, they-are not serious, eand unless the exposure and shock of the wife proves unfavorable, they will both get well. We have often heard of persons es caping from a burning building with eonly the "clothes on the backs," but Sthese two unfortunate people did not -even save the "clothes on their backs", Bas they are badly burned.

Appropriate and Interesting Services at th Methodist and Episcopal Churches. Thursday morning dawned upon charmingand restful thanksgiving day and the occasion was honored and cele. brated at the above churches. Rev. Dr J. B. Fox conducted the union servicF at the former and Rt. Rev. Ellison Capers, Ass't Bishop of the Diocese, ap peared for the first time since his con secration before the congregation of St. Luke's. The congregations at both churches were large and attentive. The following is a synopsis of Dr. Fox's ex cellent sermon, which was happily pre sented to his hearers: Text-"How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, 0 God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them they are more in number than the sand. Psalm 139:17-19." A Christian astronomer of the 15th century observing the planetary system moving in accordance with the laws which he had discovered, exclaimed in solemn ecstasy, "0 God! I read thy thoughts after Thee." The works of God are His externalized and visible thoughts, thrown upon the canvas of the objective universe, in order to serve as a mirror, in which we may see and know God. But nowhere in the ma terial world are God's thoughts so faithfully and tenderly exhibited as to wards ourselves. He has not created and left us alone upon this little planet to battle against the forces of a disor ganized nature. His good will towards us was denied even the fallen angels. It is proper for us in this thanks giving season to review God's precious thoughts of us as individuals. Each "heart knoweth its own bitterness," and each soul is the recipient of special blessing. Among these we may men tion our creation and position in, the world; God's constant preservation and provision for us, and above all His great and perfect salvation through Jesus Uhrist. These fundamental truths were fully elaborated and enforced. We should particularly reflect in this glad season upon our negative blessings,-that we are not in deep poverty, not enduring sharp pain and suffering, not without homes, not friendless, not without social comforts; that war does not desolate, and pesti lence does not sweep, and famine does not rage In our land; that we are not born in pagan lands and of heathen parents; that we are not suffering all the possible and actual ills of life; all these are negative blessings, coming ai direct results of God'a precioui thoughts toward us. Again we should recount the posi tive and direct blessings of God-life health, social enjoyment, domestic blessings, a government that is free laws to protect, schoois to instruct, the press to inform, homes that are safe and happy, and above all the light o the blessed Gospel shining from ou1 pulpits and lighting our way to heaven All these are rich, positive blessingi coming to us as gifts of love from God They originated in His kind thoughti toward us. The services at St. Luke's were a] appropriate to the day and were con ducted by the Bishop in his usua strong and tender manner. He ad ministered the solemn rite of confirm ation to a gentleman and celebrate< the holy communion, to partake c which, he most affectionately invite< all members of other churches present After morning prayer Bishop Caperi appeared in a gracious manner befor, the congregation and asked indulgene for a brief personal talk. In the provi dence of G4od he had come for the fire time as their Bishop, and he woul< assure them of his love and solicitud< in their behalf. He was also the beare of tender messages of love from thei good old Bishop Howe, who, wille hi: beart and mind are both strong an' clear, suffers in -body from the mybte rious malady, paralysis, which has fae tened upon one side of his physics frame, and whose once magnificen voice, so full of power and pathos, now almost indistinct. Bishop Capers spoke of his visit ti his pepeon the storm swept coast and said h desolation wrought must ib seen to be fully realized. Ancestra homes destroyed, trees of a century' growth prostrated, crops gone and saddest of all, precious lives lost beneati the relentless flood. He also feeling2 related a thrilling Incident to whic] we shall hereafter refer. The Bishop's sermon was based upoi the eternal and consolatory declarn tion of HoyWrit, "In all thy way acknowledg Him and He will direc thy paths." He began his discourse b: saying that upon one of the highe mountasin passes of Scotland there Is rock worn by centuries of use into thi form of a chair, had engraved abovei the words, " Traveler, rest, and be thankful." In God's merciful provi dence we have reached a day where w< should "rest and be thankful.'' Tb< Church has appointed a day of thanks giving which gives place to thegeners thanksgiving whenever called. Th< custom is now general over the State as well as the Federal Government and it would be a joyous day to hin were every forge and factory closed that the music of the loom and anyi might give place to the sweeter strain of heavenly melody-and from thb busy marts and avenues of trade every where, men might go up to the sanctu ary as willing worshipers,,-"to rende thanks for the great benefits they havy received at His hands, to hear Hi most holy word, to set forth His mos worthy.praise and to ask those thing which are requisite and necessary as well for the body as the soul." "Let the people praise Thee, 0 God yea let all the people praise Thee; thei shall the earth yield her increase, an< God, even our own God, shall give u His blessing." Nations, said the speaker, have n part in the great hereafter; it is witl the individual soul that God will deas God's word for it that nations are build ed and p rospered in Time, when the; fear God and walk in his ordinances etc.; but they are plucked up or put ised when they profane H is was and walk with impious step upon Hi statutes and decrees and declare ths their own right arm hath gottem ther wealth and victory. Greece and Rom fell when they departed from the' standards of conceived duty, so wit. the older nations, notably the golde kingdom of Assyria. Nothing was to costly and noble for their temples an shrines, but when they lost faith I their oracles, however imperfect, thei decadence followed. The leading nations are the Bibl honoring nations-England, German and the United States. While Go< fearing nations are prospered, indivie als are often permitte to suffer. E would not attempt an explanation< the inequalities of life, but saintly, su fering and unmurmuring lives in whic much of thankfulness appears, is ti answer to infidelity. Between the lin< of the sermon one could read somi thing of the volume of unwritte thought and emotion that flashed at welled up in the mind and heart of th "golden hearted Christian gentlemat and ambassador of the Cross. Bachman Chapel and Union Acadm=y Chips. With the exception of colds the health of our burg is extremely good. School opened on the 20th ult., with Miss Lillian Glenn as teacher. The roll now numbers twenty-five. The cracked cotton is about all picked, and the probability is now that the seed will swell. Thanksgiving day was observed in various ways. Some went to church, some went bunting, some picked cot ton and cut wood, while others did nothing. Wonder if anybody prayed for peace and harmony throughout the land. Everybody seems to be very hopeful under the depressed financial circum stances. We have almost given up thle hope of the thought of making a clear dollar. We are learning the idea that if we can't get what we like, to like what we can get. Mr. M. M. Long's son, Malcolm, who cat his foot about a month ago very severely with an ax, has got able to walk again. The County Commissioners failed to receive the first contract on the Quat tlebaum bridge, which was put up by Messrs. Bond Piester and M. L. Kinard. They re-let the contract to James Rich ardson and Brag John Livingstone. The bridge is now completed and looks to be a first class job. Some improvements are going on in the way of building. Mrs. Caroline Cook is having a tenant house put up on her place which she heired from her father's estate. Mr. W. F. Enlow has recently built a new dining room. Mr. M. M. Long is putting up a tenant house. Cannon's Creek Alliance held its reg ular meeting last Saturday evening. The following delegates were elected to attend the county alliance which meets on Friday next at Newberry C. H.: J. K. Eppe, S. J. Kinard, Levi Trout man and T. J. Wilson.
