Bbhop, the last Moderator. Mr. John McSween, an elder of the Florence Church, was elected Moderator, and Geu. W. E. James, of Darlington, tempor ary clerk. Licentiate D. M. Fulton was received from Enoree Presby tery. A call for the pastoral services of Mr. Fulton from the Darlington Church was read, and being found in order, was placed in his hands. Having signified his willingness to ac cept the same, the Presbytery proceeded, after the required examination, to ordain him to the full work of the ministry. Rev. A. H. McArn, of Che- raw, and Elder J. N. Drake, of Blenheim, were elected commis sioners to the General Assem bly, which meets in Dallas, Tex. in May. Revs. J. G. Richards and J. H. Dixon were appoint ed commissioners to install Rev. D. M. Fulton as pastor of the Darlington Church on the third Sabbath in May next. Sept. 4th. was appointed as the time for holding the Elders’ and Dea cons’ convention at Kentyro Church, and a programme for the same was reported and a- dopted. After a very p’e isant meeting, Presbytery adjourned Saturday afternoon, to meet at Orange Hill Church, Chester field County, on the first Friday night in October Sligh & Rucker the business.” are “doing dered into active service, and this threw the school entirely under the coifffM of Mr. Ham by. He filled the position with marked ability, and with great satisfaction to its patrons. In the spring of 186?, he went into service, and this closed his con nection with the school until 1870, when he again assumed charge of it. In 1871, he was elected Superintendent of the Winy ah Indigo Society School at Georgetown, and filled the position until the end came. As a teacher he was remark ably successful, and had few equals and no superiors in the State. He was not content with simply imparting mental in- itruction, but strove both by precept and example, to train morally also. His work, both for the mental and moral im provement of his pupils, has left an indelible impression up on the town in which he spent so many years of a useful and laborious life. In early life Mr. Hamby con nected himself with the Metho dist Church, and spent both time and means freely in its service. His loss to the church at Georgetown will be well nigh irreparable. He possessed a voice of rare sweetness, and it was seldom silent during the service of a song. His life was a pure and useful one, and he died a gentleman without stain, and a Christian without re proach. In 1872 Mr. Hambv was hap pily married to the accomplish ed Miss Hester Williams, of Georgetown, and until her death in 1886 his home life was an ideal one, and one that develop ed all the better and truer part of his nature, making him a model husband and father. He leaves six children and a large number of relatives and friends to deplore his death. The tired hands are now at rest, the brave, true heart has forever ceased to beat, but to him it is not death, but the ush ering in of life, that life in which he shall join the choir invisible, and dwell forever in the presence of the One whose will he did on earth.

Easter morning opened clear and bright, with every prospect of a beautiful day, except that it was quite cool and all those who expected to bloom out in “Easter suits” were disappoint ed. The Methodist and Epis copal Churches were beautiful ly dressed. The latter was de corated in white and green and with many beautiful flowers. On the gate of the communion rail was a cross, and the font was filled with flowers. The cross on the communion table was entwined with green, and a large spray of green waz on the organ. The music was in the hands of Mrs. Frank Pe- gues who had made most admir able selections. Among other beautiful pieces rendered was the responsive “Te Deum” by Greatorex, and a beautiful solo during the offertory. The decorations in the Meth odist Church were very elabor ate and in good taste. On the •eft, near the pulpit, was a beautiful cross on a mound, the whole done in white, and in commemoration of Dr. James C. Willcox. Just behind the pul pit, hanging from the arch, were garlands of green, and be hind these was a mound of ferns, Looking at this from the door, the effect was a beautiful one; the mound of ferns seemed to be at a great distance. Miss Jennie Rast presided at the or gan, and the music was of a high order. The solo during the offertory sung by a sweet mezzo soprano voice was ex quisitcly rendered.

At the annual meeting of the Darlington Guards, held on the first Thursday night in the pre sent month, the Rev. R. W. Lide was elected Chaplain of the Company to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of the Rev. John G. Law. All the other commissioned officers were re-elected for tiie ensuing year. The following non-commission ed officers have been appointed, to hold office until April 1, 1896: First Sergeant, P. J. Boat wright; Sergeants, J. Walter James, C. S. McCullough, Jr., Eugene Vaughan and P. 8. Wilds; Corporals, D. G. Coit, T. H Rogers, J. D. Baird and J. D. Gillespie. Mr. C. D. Evans was re-elected Secretary and Mr. P. J. Boatwright, Treasurer. In addition to the $19.25 made by the ladies for the “uniform fund” in February, and the $50 so generously donated for the same purpose by Mr. Samuel Carpenter, special representa tive of the Eastern Building and Loan Association, Mr. J. L. Michie has subscribed $5 and C. S. Nettles, Esq , $2.50, making a total of $76.75 for the fund named, Who’s the next? A base ball nine has been formed by the active members of the Company. They opened the base ball season last Friday afternoon by “crossing bats” with the town nine at the Aca demy Green. A second game was played between tbe two nines at the base ball park on Tuesday afternoon. A large crowd was present on both oc casions, ana considerable inter est was manifested in the games. The purpose is to keep up these games for some time to come, and as soon as the Guards’ team gets practiced up sufficently, to challenge some of the other military companies of the State to a contest “on the diamond.” The Darlington Club wasclos ed about two weeks ago. There is a project now on foot, which will probably be successful, to combine that insti ution with OTICE is hereby given that books open at the Council collection of mnnicipal Gentlemen’s hand-made shoes for $3.50 at Sligh & Rucher’s. The Coast Line's New Branch. . (.New* and Courier.] The annoucement was made recently that the Atlantic Coast Line wished to build a short spur of road between the Char leston and Northern and Man chester and Augusta divisions of its system, and a good deal of interest was felt in the mat ter. The people of Charleston were anxious to know what was the object of the cut off. It seems the Atlantic Coast Line is anxious to bring the Charleston and Northern divis ions df its system into closer connection with this city, and that the connection of the Man chester and Augusta line with the Charleston and Northern will accomplish this purpose. This city does a great deal of business with the territory cov ered by the old Charleston, Sum ter and Northern Rond, all of which now goes over the Atlan tic Coast Line. The route is rather a long and roundabout one, as matters now stand, and the Coast Line peo ple think that all of the difficul ties will be removed by the link which they propose to build. The new line will only be six or seven miles long, but it will lessen the distance between Charleston and the northern counties by a good many miles. The Coast Line is advertising for bids on construction and hope, if possible, to have the road built before midsummer.
