A bright little chap, who attends the Graded School, had been hearing so mueh about the celebration of Columbus day, that he asked his Mother to let him carry Columbus a birthday present Amusing as was his mistake, it was a very natural one, and illustrates the little fellow’s generous nature.* This was only way by which he could show his appre ciation. and the thought was a noble one. wonld be on band in a minute or. two.

He was going rapidly down Woods street when Evander Gandy, a thirteen year old boy, rushed out and grabbed the bit and stopped him; accomplishing a feat that very few men would care to attempt By a his courage he saved the children from serious injury or death.

The organisation was completed Thursday when the following officers Were elected. Moderator, Rev. I. P, Brockenton, secretary, Rev. D. M. Pierce; Treasurer, Rev. R. H. Hum bert; Chairman Executive Board, Rev C. H. Prince. There were over one hundred del egates present and the price of chickens and eggs will go up this week. The introductory sermon was preached by the Rev. C. S. McFad den. The doctrinal sermon was preached by the by H. M. Raiford, the educational by Rev. A. J. Streat- or and the missionary by Rev. D. M. Pierce. The Association was a great suc cess aud the Macedonia church which is the largest in town was crowded at nearly every session. The collections were much larger than last year and the charitable causes assisted were a great number. Rev. C. Carroll delighted the audi ence by his many witty sallies. Dr. H. M. Raiford’s doctrinal ser mon was a fine effort Rev. A. J. Streator, who seems to be the favorite of the ladies delivered two very able discourses. Rev. D. M. Pierce, D.

Prof. Wilson, of Benedict, was on hand begging for his pet scheme, the Benedict Telescope: The music furnished by the church choir was very excellently rendered.

It sievates and epnobleoand ' J* tberefore tends to biting out the finer qualities of the child’s nature. Singing to him is as natural as it is to eat. Eat he must to live, sing he must to give vent to his joys and sorrows. The babe begins by taking nourishment to sustain the little life God gave him, while he listens to tne lullaby, softly and sweetly sung to soothe him to rest. Unconsciously he 1 istens, and with the same un consciousness his little voice is soon mingling w|Mf Soft sweettones of his NEW STOCK. Have now open, for inspection, the most complete stock of goods that they have ever purchased, and invite an inspection of the; same feeling confident of their ability to please the most fastidious taste, both in pun AND PRICE. -0- Goods In almost every issue of The Hkkald weliave one or two choice literary extracts or short poems, and we suggest to our lady readers that they will each procure a scrap book and save these pieces. If any one will do this with discrimination they will soon have a very nice collection that will be a great source of pleasure to them in the fnture, and be a very fine addition to a library. Of course where a number of papers are taken it is practicable to get a greater variety of articles aud fill up the strap book much sooner than with only one paper to select from. We see it stated that a representa tion of the Crater'explosion is to be given sometime during the Chicago Exposition. If this be true, and they wish to make it particularly realistic, it will be well for them to secure the services of Capt. Jno. Floyd and the surviving members of his company to take part in the programme, hs they Were in the terrible Crater fight Besides Capt Floyd, we recall the following members of his command that were there: Messrs. Alex, Nat, Oooleb and Peter Odom, all brothers, J. G. Hutchinson, John Moore, Peter McLoughlin and Joe Woods. They could each one be fastened to a big sky rocket, with a parachute attach ment, and sent up a few hundred feet Nat Odom lost one of his legs in the fight In this connection there is a good story told on Capt Floyd which has never been printed, and thile we can’t vouch for the truth of it, it is very characteristic of his coolness in the time of danger. When the explosion occurred a great many . men were sent upward very suddenly, and it is said that while Oapt Floyd was going up he met his Orderly Bur- feen| coming down, and shouted to him to form the Gompdny and he Re—lntlnis Adopted by the Color ed Teachers. The colored teachers of Darling ton County met in Darlington on Saturday last, October 29th, and adopted the following resolutions: Whereas, we the colored teachers of Darlington County, desire to ex press our high appreciation of Col. W. H. Evans for his untiring efforts to promote the educational interests of tne colored children of this Coun ty Therefore be it Resolved, That it is our sincere wish that his future happiness and welfare may be attend ed by a kind Providence in whatever sphere of usefulness to Which he may be called by his fellow citizens. Resolved, That our thanks are due him, and are hereby tendered, for the very impartial manner in which he has conducted the office of School Commissioner, from which he is about to retire. Resolved, That these resolutions be published in the County news papers. W. B. Smallwood, - Chairman. E. R. McIvek, Secretary. 1h« State Fair. We earnestly trust that every one, who can possibly do so, will attend the State Fair, and by this means give it their support and encourage ment. These annual fairs have been of incalculable benefit to all classes of people, and it would be a great misfortune if they were allowed to fail for the lack of public support The Legislature failed to give the usual appropriation to the Fair Com pany and this makes it more iuenm- beut on the people to make up, as far as u possible^ for this deficiency. To say nothing of Abe material bene fit to be derived from attending the Fair, the social feature is an impor tant one, furnishing as it does, the opportunity to mast friends whom, but for this occasion, we would rare ly meet It is here that people of all shades of opinion can freely mingle, and putting aside political and other differences have a pleasant and- profitable time. Agriculture is the main dependence s>f the people of South Carolina, and it is the duty of every good citizen to use bis best efforts to develop this source of wealth, and in this way keep breast with the times. The State is rich agriculturally, and only lacks in telligent culture to make its citizens rich and prosperous. The railroads have made the price of’ round trip tickets as low as possible and in this way offer every inducement iu their power for people to attend. The city of Columbia will furnish a good many amusements for the visitors. Meeting af Pee Dee Assaciatiai.

Thus we find a singing bird in the heart of every child which should be fosteied in our pablic school, and if fostered in the proper manner will bring its reward with it He should not be left Ijy the wayside to gather in that which tends to poison, but instead should be environed by that which will feed his soul with life and beauty. ? In the first year Of the child’s life at school his singing lessons are the most enjoyable. It may be hard for him to learn- that two and two are four or that c-a-t spells cat, but when the teacher says “we’ll sing” his little face brightens and straigh tens up with an air which seems to say “1 can sing.” These littlq songs learnep at school are carried home ..and sung to the dear ones there. He delights in singing them and is ever on the qui vive for something new. ..
