The store of Mnllpass & Carter, about four miles from towu, wus robljetl on Friday night of $75 worth of groceries. No clue to the thief. We return thanks to Hon. W. II. Brawlcy for a copy of his most ad mirable speech on the silver question. A representative like Mr. Brawley reflects credit on the State. We hope that the candidates won’t be too modest about announcing themselves. We will treat all ex actly the same. Send in your name and the office you want, not forget ting to enclose $5.00, and We will keep the announcement in until the election. We have received from Senator Stewart, of Nevada, the statement of Francis G. Newlands, of Nevada, be fore the committee on coinage, weights and measures. We thank the Senator for his courtesy, but can’t be won over to the fallacy of Free Coinage. Mr. II. T. Thompson, the lay- reader, was presented with a very- handsome gold headed ebony cane, inscribed II. T. T., by the congrega tion of the Episcopal Church, in recognition of his cheerful and un tiring services in their behalf. The presentation occurred on Saturday afternoon. The Ladies’Auxiliary of the Y. M. C. A. was organized yesterday after noon with the following officers: Pj-esiflenk Mrs. G. W. Dargnn; Secre- tary, Mrs. II. T. Thompson; Treas- ureft Miss Claudia Eilwards. The meeting was largely attended and thirty names were enrolled. Something over $’4.00 was contrib. nted at the meeting. For sometime past a few bad boys have been tampering with the electric lights at the Methodist Church, and our purpose in calling attention to it is to say that we have the names of the boys who, some one of them, shut off the light on Monday night at the Church, and if they don’t come forward and promise to desist their names will be turned over to the Mayor, and this would mean a heavy fine or a sojourn in the Guard- House. ♦ At the Baptist Church there was a large congregation ou Sunday morn ing, but there were no decorations. The services were as usual except the singing of a beautiful offertory by Miss Emma Edwards, which was fine ly rendered. There were no services at the Pres byterian Church on Sunday. The Pee Dee Medical Association Met in Darlington on Tuesday, and while the attendance was small, the meeting was a pleasant one. The officers elected were: President, Dr. C. Kollock; Vice President, Dr. E. Miller; Secretary and Treasurer, Dr. J. Lunney. A Commendable Example. One of our friends, whose sub scription does not expire until Au gust, came in the other day and re newed his subscription, saying that he wanted to assist The Hekai.d to that extent at least. We can very much reduce our expenses but to do so would be to lessen our opportunity to keep our readers posted in regard to what is going on in the world of politics. Dr. LafTerty to Lcctnre> The mere announcement of the fact that Dr. lofferty will deliver a lecture at the Opera House on Fri day night, the 29th, will be sufficient to pack the house to its utmost ca pacity. Everybody who heard him when he was here before will be de lighted at the opportunity of hearing him again for he is unquestionably one of the most noted lecturers in the South. The lecture is for the bene fit of the Epworth League. Meeting of the Pee Dec Presbytery. This body convened at Reedy Creek Church, Marion County, on Thursday, April 14th, and adjourned on Saturday night. Rev. E Palmci Hutson, of Cheraw, was elected Moderator. The usual business was pleasantly dispatched and the ses sion a profitable and harmonious one. Rev. J. G, Law and Dr. G, G, Pal-1 mer were elected commissioners to the General Assembly which meets at Little Rock, Ark., on May 19th. 1 Rev, J. G.

Johnson announces him self as a candidate for Solicitor, sub ject to the action of Democratic pri maries. The office is outside the!“ on > domain of polities, and no political lar K c congregation, there being no question should enter into the selec-, service in either the Baptist or Pres- tion of an incumbent for this highly | bvterian Churches.

There was a full service in the morning with the “Gloria in Ex cclcis”, from Mozart, as a voluntary, Jackson’s “Tc Deum and Easter hymn “Jesus Christ is risen to-day.” The Rector was not present on Sun day morning, but the lay reader read, in a very impressive manner, a very fine sermon appropriate to the occa sion. The service at night wasopeu- eil with a voluntary by the choir, “Christ hath risen,” followed by the usual chants and the hymns “Christ the Lord is risen to-day”, and “All hail the power of Jesus name”; the latter sung as a . solo by Miss Bessie Williamson, whose clear, sweet voice filled the church with melody, and added a great deal to the attractive ness of the beautiful Easter service. During the offertory Miss Bessie Wil liamson rendered “The Pilgrim” with fine cffecl and her singing was very much enjoyed by the congregation. Mr. Guerry preached an eloquent sermon from I Corriuthiuns 15th Chapter, 14 verse: “Jf Christ be not risen, our preaching is vain and your faith is also vain.” The decorations were far superior to what they have ever been before, and the whole in- teiior of the church "was adorned by beautiful flowers and evergreens. Above the Chancel, in large gilt let ters, was written, “Christ is risen”. A beautiful mound of flowers was ar ranged as a memorial of the late Mrs. A. A. Baker. Some of the cut flow ers wore as pretty as they can be made to grow. The congregations were good, especially at the night service when the Church was crowded to its utmost capacity. Easier at the Methodist Chureli. The decorations at the Methodist Church on Sunday were, lo use the expressive language of a lady visitor, simply exquisite, and it is im possible to conceive bow the flowers could have been better arranged. On the platform were placed magnificent Calla lilies and their pure white flowers and dark green foliage showed with splendid effect, contrasted as they were with tho brilliant colors of the geraniums and cinerarias. Out side the Chancel were arranged beau tiful palms and ferns. Jnst in front of the chancel railing was a table that was literally covered with beau tiful cut flowers. The railing was very gracefully entwined with ivy. Too much praise cannot be given to the ladies whose hard work and fault less taste produced such a fine effect. The opening antbeiry “Joy to (he World,” was finely rendered by the choir and added no little to the in terest and beauty of the service. The hymns were appropriate lo the occa sion, and were also well sung. The choir of the church consists of the following: Miss Eftie Ellis, Organist. Soprano—Misses Mary Zimpicnnaq and Jennie Rast, Mrs. J, S, IRiich and M;\ S. A. Woods. Contralto— Miss Lizzie Rast; Tenor—Mr. Herbert Pegnes; Bass—Messrs. W. F. Dargan, J. S. Burch and T. J. Drew. The congregation was very large and a good many extra seats had to be pro vided. In addition to this a good many were seated in the gallery. The sermon by the pastor. Rev. J. A. Rice, was eloquent and impressive ami was listened to with the closest attention. The text was from 1 Corinthians 15:14. Owing to the crowded state of our columns we will have to defer the publication of the synopsis of Mr. Rice’s sermon until next week. The - collection amounted to $20.00 and was devoted to Domestic Mis sions. Stale Sunday School ionvention. The recent State Sunday School Convention held in Marion was a surprise to nearly everybody present. Many cannot see what tangible bene fit is to be derived from this kind of interdenominational work, but (bis convention lias proved to all conver sant with the work dont there (bat there is tef.o iv yiist lijd yet to be cultivated that will yield manifold results in upbuilding the Sunday School cause. The chief benefit thus far reached is in the normal work. Messrs. Hamill and Reynolds who were the leading spirits in this convention gave every teacher pres ent views as to what to do and how to do it. Their is work not merely theoretical but very practical uqd most of their ideas piiit bu carried out !'l Sftjf itrlifftil in the State. This normal feature is tho link that is vet to bind all denominations together. There should lie an organization of teachers in every county for mutual improvement, and this could be ef fected by employing a man as State agent who is capable of giving help ful normal lessons to a convention in session for several days. Hereto fore but little good lias been done by county Conventions, denominational or otherwise, but file actiftn qf tiijs con veil thw In iiisHiicting their ex ecutive committee to employ a nor mal teacher for the entire year, who shall organize counties and instruct them, marks, we trust, the beginning of a new era in the work in this State. It is hoped that Darlington Covaty will pay more attention to tli'.s new feature than ever before. The chief advantage of co-operation of denominations is that the vyqrk can then be done at q uinch smaller cqsf. An fiffSuicnt normal teacher oould be secured at an outlay of a few dollars a year at most from each school. Indeed a few cents would aggregate an amount far in excess of what is ut/w.contributed. • ’ Persona!. M 5 Miss Lou Keith, of Thnmonsville, is visiting the Misses McCown. Mr. C. A.

This clause, we are sure, was put in for the benefit of Tillman. It isn’t straightforward; it isn’t fair. Having prejudged the case; havi ig declared that they will hold the Democratic party to a course which it cannot and will not adopt; being in their hearts Third party men; they should have courage and consistency enough to withdraw from interference with local Democratic affairs. They cannot serve the Demo cratic party and the Third party at the same time. We can seethe purpose of these resolutions plainly enough. They mean—to use the words of several Tillinaiiitc contemporaries—“rule or ruin.” These same iusisters on Ocala heresies will remain in their Demo cratic clubs and “whoop things up” for Tillman until after the national convention meets; until, perhaps, af ter the State nominating convention meets. Until that time they will be Democrats, They will participate in all the councils of the party. They will vote for Tillman m their county primary and for others in the Con gressional and. judicial primaries. And then, having done, as Democrat all for their friends at home that they could do, they will drop into the Third party m time for the general election. Now, this isn’t fair It is the Tal bert game, a little more plainly re vealed, it is true, but still disreputa ble. We have no fear of a large secession to the Third party until af ter Hie August primaries; but then the disappointed ofilee-seekers who are now basing their hopes upon Alliance support inside the party will seek it outside, aud the trouble will come at the general election. The signs point to this. Let us be pre pared to meet the emergency.—State. Two million dollars is a somewhat large sum to pay in order that ignorance may acquire knowledge by the practical lessons of experience. Yet that is alaiut what it will have cost South Carolina for yielding to the demands of the Farmers’ Alliance and electing State officers and a Leg islature to carry them out. No Southern State was in a better siiapc to meet its obligations and to advance rapidly on all industrial and financial lines than was South Caro lina two years ago. It bad overcome all the perils and losses of the recon struction era, and was in a fair way to regain its former prestige and be come one of tlic wealthiest States in the South. It is rich in natural re sources, and in an industrious and en terprising population. It had an enviable reputation for integrity as a Commonwealth. Its statesmen hap been great men, and honored as such. Its financiers and merchants had for generations been esteemed for their high sense of honor and their business integrity and ability. In an evil hour demagogues got the public ear, and, working within the Farmers’ Alliance, elected the pres ent Legislature, the Governor and other State executive officers. What has happened since then is current history. The Jack Cade element lias ruled that State. Laws have been passed that throw it backward at least, a century, The one dominant idea qf its Legislalature and its Exe cutive, judging by what they have done, has been to tax the wealth and business of the State to the exemption of the remainder of the people from bearing their share of the burdens of the Commonwealth. The meaning of that good old name Common wealth, seems to have been lost in South Carolina. Its legisla ture and its Tillman regime seem to have combined to rob capital of its earnings and to prey upon it in every way which the ingenuity of the shy sters—elected as Alliance advocates —could devise. Yet South Carolina has among its citizens many honorable and brainy men. Its people by a large majority are entirely honest and wouldn’t swerve by a hair’s breadth from the 1 i ne of honorable integrilv. T<) nto.si of I hem the action of their latest leg islature is as disgusting as it is to the! ppoplp elsewhere, J But, fret us they may now, they i caunot escape the results sure to fol- j low upon the action of the ignorant j body they permitted to be clothed with legislative power.
