James left last night to at tend the funeral of a relative, Mr. I!. C. Dickinson, of Virginia. The deceased was a brother-in-1 iw of Mrs. Sweet. The Che saw Reporter asks us to correct the statement that the Machine works were advertise to he sold. It has no connection with the Iron Works and is a distinct corporation. On Thursday work was commen ced on M r. Willis’s house at t he corner of Cashua and Spring streets. The location is a \ery fine one and the house, when finished, will he one of the hands lined in Darlington. Owing to the crowded state of our columns this week and to the fact that we go to press early Wednesday morning, we will defer the account of thcCluh Reception until nextweek, when we will give a detailed account of it. Mr C. S. McCullough presented six Hue pictures to the club last week, and they now adorn the walls of the Hilliard Room. They are the pic- tures of some noted horses, Red Wilkes, Gazette, Clay, Nightingale. Nellie W. and Evangeline. The young folks had a masquerade, at the residence of Mr. W. M. Brun son, on Friday night which was very much enjoyed by those present. Dar lington is, just now, full of social life and every week we have some kind of an entertainment to report. Our enterprising neighbor, Tim- monsville, has three papers, which puts her one ahead of either Darling ton or Florence. The News, as its name indicates, is a regular newspa per. 'Pile Gospel Bugle, edited by Rev. W. B. Duncan, is a religious paper, and the third on the list is the Broad Axe, edited by Mr. C. A. Smith. We give them all a welcome at our office and wish them the largest success in their respective fields. It se.’ins that our Baptist friends are still withou' a pastor, Mr. Me- Manaway, after accepting, having found it impracticable to move to Darlington owing to the state »f his wifes health. The Baptist Church contains a great many preachers and the pulpit will not he \acint very long. The man that secures the pastorate of this church will have a nice home and serve a very faithful membership, to say nothing of living in a healthy and growing town. ’I b's will lie a pretty hard year on evrybody, hut especially so on now.-- pajiers, and in consideration of this we lieg our friends to he prompt in paying their subscriptions, and give us this much kelp. A good many of the farmers, despite the low price of cotton, have paid up promptly, and there is no reason why cvrylwdy should not dothesame. One dollar is a very small amount to pay but several hundred subscribers in ar rears is a pretty big thing for the paper to be out of. 'The editor liegs M r. J. S. Watters, Supt of Agencies of the Inter-State B. & L Associa tion, of Wilmington, N. (’., is in town. The Inter-State Building and Loan Association is one of the best in existence. As we announced last week, theC. S. & X. R. R., has been put. into the hands of a receiver, but. this will not effect in any way the running of the trains. This action became necessary on account of some of the creditors pushing claims, which the road did not have the money to meet. The earnings of the road have, owing to the present financial depression, steadily decreased, and some of the trains were not paying running ex ile ises. This trouble, we are sure, will be only temporary as the road runs through a very rich section, and has excellent connections with other Hues. F’or the above information we are indebted to Mr. C. S. Nettles, the general counsel of the road. Mi. and Mrs. L. Spingaurn, of New York, spent a few days with Mrs. Mamie last week. They were married on the 14th and were on a bridal tour. The bride is a daughter of Mr. Jacob Kalmus, who merchan dised here, on the Nachman corner, some years ago, and was born in Dar lington. She was only five years old when her father left Darlington, and very natuarally felt a strong de sire to visit the home of her child hood. She is the niece of Messrs. S. and M. Marco and Mrs. Mamie. On Fridry night there was a ball given in her honor, at the Opera House, which was very much enjoy ed by those who were present. A very nice supper w.-s served during the evening. Quite a number of our exchanges reach our office with only one or two or at most three columns of locals and editorials, and we would be glad if our readers would compare this with the amount of home read- ingin Tiik llnrtAi.i), and then they can have a better appreciation of how hard we are. trying to make a good paper. Besides this these papers to which we refer use patent outside.- over which they have not the slightst control. Every line that appears in Tiik IlKit.u.n is selected or written by one of the editors, and of course they try and select such articles as will suit the readers of the paper. In our last weeks issue there were over sixteen columns of reading matter, every type of which was set in the office. During Mr. la-e’s-lecture on Mon day night some of the boys bMuved very badlv, and if we could fed per fectly sure that we had'all Iheiatmes, would not hesitate to publish them. Such condi ct speaks very badly for both the boys and their parents, for it s.hows lack of home training and the absence of right instincts on the part of the boy who is guilty of such inexcusable conduct. A gentleman in the audience went out and brought in a policeman to preserve order. The editor had been requested to keep the door and but for this would have been able to secure the names of the offenders. Of one tiling they may rest assured, and that is if there is ever anything of this kind again, the names of the guilty ones will appear in Thk-IIkum.I). and they will also he brought before the Mayor, and that may mean a few days board at the city Hotel, where the chief of police looks after the wants of the guests.

A few Sundays ago, at the ITdon Service, iii the interests of the Bible Society, Miss Annie William on, of the Presbyterian Church, presided at the organ in the .Methodist Church, where the services were held, and on last Sunday, Miss Annie Bristow, the organist of the Baptist church, filled the position at the sumo church, the services being conducted by Rev. Mr. Lee, the Chinese minister. On both occasions some of the members of both the above named churches von kindly assisted in the singing. We only mention this to show the very kind and cordial relations existing between the different churches, but more especially because the members of the Methodist clmridi wish logivc Ibis recognilioii of tin* assistance rendered. A Kail Sight For Sunday. About the iiice. on Sunday morn ing, when people were ivturningfroin the church services, two men, both drank, had a light on Pearl street, and were hotftirre.-tc 1 and locked up. Our object in speaking of it is to call attention to the fact that some body must be violating a town ordi nance, that prohibils the selling of whiskey on Sunday, and to ask if it can’t be stopped. The police are comparatively powerless as it is al most impossible to watch all the saloons in lown. bid if it is legal, tin men who arc found drunk on Sunday should be made to tell where they purchased the whiskey. The town license, as we understand it, allows the sale of whiskey on week days only, and the man wh > violates it ought to be heavily lined, and if this does not stop him his license ought to he re voked. We have been reliably in formed that there is one saloon at least that strictly observes the law. and all ought to be made to do il. We arc only aft.ir those who violate the law,bud nave no desire to be sweeping in our charges. We simply mean tlial I here luust be at least one guilty par ly, and every effort ought to be made to convict him. On Sunday the sirvicesat the Methodist Chureli. both iiioniingatid night, were very interesting and im pressive, and the large congregations, gathered at both services, listened with close attention to the words spoken by Rev. Van Pliou Lee, an Chinese minister, who was the first representative of his race to ever speak in Darlington. The spectacle presented, of a representative of this strange nation with its teeming mil lions of people, and whose existence as an empire antedates the time of the Pliaroahs, was a thrilling ami af fecting one, ami a striking illustra tion of the far reaching influence and power of Chrisiiunify. Here was a member of the Mongolian race, who a few years ago was ignorant of th. Savior, standing amidst the civiliza tion and advancement of the young est nation of the \vorld. and giving his testimouv of the love of God for the whole family of nations, to the representatives of the most has any overtures in this direction. As the police did not see the assault and also taking into consideration that the ruffians got the worst of it, no arrests were made, and in view of this, and languages of flic natives are oh' the' smallest scale possibli and contain no words corresponding to God or spirit. I would not venture to say- how low, morally and spiritually, the people of Europe and America the fact that sorrow was manifested; would have fallen, had it not Ircii by the guilty parties, we, by special | living power of the \*ord of request, suppress names.

About two months ago Horace Williamson, a very worthy and in dustrious colored man, took up a cow, j for which, with tl e most diligent in quiry, he could not find an owner. He finally concluded toadverlise tin- cow in the columns of 't'HK Ili-KAi.t), anp call at the office to arrange the matter. Owing however to the fact that nearly the whole office force was sick, the advertisement did not appear was: Thou shalt not cat of the _ of knowledge of good and evil. Wei o.ursdve have read how the first pair trans gressed and violated the second com mandment. The penalty for viola ting this prohibitory law was death; and with spiritual death “sin entered into the world.” Moreover, the forbidden fruit of the trey of knowledge became in the heart of man his accuser and judge. This knowledge we call conscience. For knowledge of good and evil involv es right and wrong. The greatness of Adam’s sin may be measured by the punishment whicli immediately fol- lowed. Our lirst, ancestors were ex pelled from Eden and left to fight against nature by themselves, alone to striiggh- against poverty, disease and death. No one can deny that, we suffer from this phase of Adam's ! obedience of oni punishment. ' righteous. But we are also involved in Adam’s spiritual penalty by the change of nature from holiness to sinfulness, from good to evil. The blood has been corrupted and now man’s bent of mind is e mtiiuially towards evil. I may illustrate this by a certain proceeding in the English parlia ment against high treason. When an English Lord is found guilty of treason, a bill of attainder may be passed in the house of commons against him which deprives him of property, title and life. His blood is said to be attainted thus involving his children in his punishment This corruption of blood is declared to have taken place bya legislature act is only a legal fiction, an imaginary thing, bill the corruption of blood resulting from Adam’s transgression is vital and real. This fad is borne out by the great law of heredity, ruder the opera tion of thi.-.- law, men not only trans mit their physical characteristics to their descendants especially diseases, but also their moral and mental trails. Thus dishonest men tend to have dishonest children; drunkards tend to breed drunkards: murderers, murderers; and insane persons, insane children. “Whatsoever a man sow- eth that shall he also reap.” David, after the prophet, Nathan, convicted him of his sins saying, “Thou art the man,” cried put to God with unspeakable anguish of soul. “Behold, I was shapen in in iquity and in sin did my mother conceive me." We see the law of heredity in op eration almost every day; and vet | how many of us give it a thought: We have no power i out of this state to lift of sin. Sins actual and original, i. o. sins of our own commission and the sin which wo inherited as children of Adam, ever hurry us on to destruc tion and make us fall lower i#ul lower. Evon as it is the nature of water to seek a lower level and can only rise to the sky as a cloud among clouds by the process of evap oration by •v!iic!i it is transform-.! into mist, so it is our nature to go downward in spirituality and we cad only ivach heaven to be right eous among the righteous bv the -process of regeneration by which we arc transformed into the image of Christ. For. as by one many were inadi man’s disobedience sinners, go by the shall many be made II. In this utter helplessness while men were struggling in the meshes of sin and going to certain death. Christ the Saviour came, and became man that he might overcome sin and- death. “For when we were vet with out strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.” Ills work of re demption was twofold. (T) By a life of perfect obedience, lie made it possible for us to be righteous. (2) By his death for sinners, lie atoned for the sins of mankind. First, let us consider in what his obedience consisted. To make this clear, we must lay special, stress upon the hii- i > 'anity of Christ. For, however perfect his life of obedience was, it wo it lit mean little to us, would have little value for us as an example, if lie were not constituted as we are. If hi-'lnd not inherit'-1 tin- s:ni - n-A tmv c.nd tendencies wbii-h we lui' i- from Adam, Christ’s life i-oiild not possibly be a model for our emu!::-! lion. But we tind in the samerei-ord j ’Christ is at the' right hail'd’ of God and makes intercession for us. This is the most glorious news ever pub lished. In the war of Southern In- depeiideiidence, a young soldier m the I'niim Army, while on sentinel duty, was found asleep by the offieer w!io came to relieve him. The poor fellow, who was hut a boy, was tried bv court martial, found gui'ty of violating military law, and was sen tenced to be shot. The dreadful news reached his widowed mother and prostrated her with grief. But her love for her only child would not permit her to give up hope. So she sold what sin- had and set out on her long journey with a heavy heart, determined to make one effort to save her boy. She went to Washington and with great difficulty obtained an interview with I’resiiient Lincoln. The good president ascertained her errand and 1 stencil to her sad story and was affected to tears, but said ho could do nothing for her. Military law bad been violated by her son. Diseiplii e must be muintaned. The pardon of her son might be the menus of relaxing military discipline without which success cannot be counted on. The poor woman pleaded for the condemiied boy's lift- only as a mother ran. Her boy was young anil thoughtless, he had joined the army as a volunteer against her wishes. He was not obliged to enter the army, but had felt it his duty to go to the front. He was her only child, her only dependence in this life and she could not let him die without an effort to save him. If he could not be saved any other way. she would gladly die in !ii> stead. The good president had the look o! a stern man but his heart was a-ten der as a woman's. He could not re sist sm-li an appeal, so be straight way signed the soldier’s pardon and the message was telegraphed to tin- headquarters of the army. The sol dier was released and sent home. In some sin It wav, only more feet I v < dlidst intercedes for us obtains pardon from the Father. 'idle storv of poor Cigareite a girl feel hi love with him after awhile and showed her preference by various good offices, by serving him and tending him when he fell sick. But while he was grateful for her care, he could not bring himself down to love a poor camp-follower and make her his wife; so in order to get away from her, he joined another corps of the army. But one day lie was caught disobeying orders, was court-martialed and sentenced to be shot. The poor girl heard of it from a distance, quickly mounting her horse she put spurs to him and arrived just in time to see the con demned man standing up wiTh a coffin beside him while a squad of j soldiers already had their guns level- [ ed at him waiting for the eoniuiaiid ; to tire. Quick as thought Cigarette dismounted and rushing up to the condemned man, put her arms | around his neck just at the word rang out “Fire!” The devoted girl j received the bullets in her body anil) fell dead. The soldier was saved— saved by her interposition; saved by her love; saved by her heroism. The commander, on account of this heroic act of Cigarette, pardoned t lie .sol dier. In a similar wav. my brother, Christ rushes between us and death. Only his lovesti.pas.-es that of cither mother or lover. “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for bis fri-nils.” Wherefore, 1 entreat you to be lieve on the Lord Jesus, accept tin atonement that he InijS made for you. freely take this free gift of salvation and lav hold on eternal life.
