DISTRICT CONFERENCE.!
I FINE MEETING AMONG A HOSPITABLE
PEOPLE?RINGSTREE TO HAVE THE
DISTRICT PARSONAGE.
The Summervilie District Conference,
which met at Greelyville last
week, was spoken of by many as one!
3f the best, if not the very best, they
hail ever attended. Nearly all of
the preachers were present and, notwithstanding
the bnsy season of the
"we u lartfA attenilanpp of thf> lav

men, who took an unusually active
part in the proceedings and added
no little to the interest of the
occasion.
The hospitality of the Greelyville
people came dangerously near threatening
the comfort of the guests.
Even some ef the oldest members,
with much observation and experience
with table things, confessed to
no little embarrassment at times in
undertaking to deal with'mysterious
multiplicities.

Greelyville is a growing town, j
surrounded by a rapidly developing
county, and with a population who!
seem to know what things to esteem.
Business places were closed and a
good large church filled with appreciative
and attentive listeners at the
preaching boure day and night and
much of the business sessions. Revs

One of the most interesting busi?
ness items transacted was the selec- i
ticm of a location for the District
parsonage. The District stewards:
had ulreadv appointed a committee
* r A P
to receive propositions from the van- x
ous places and leport same to the
District conference Su mmerville,!ln
on the extreme Western border, 11
ofcered $1,000 in three equal annual
installments, but offered no lot on d;
which to build. Kingstree, more tl
centrally located, offered $1,000 in u
cash and a lot valued at about $500, b<
and, of ceurse the committee recommended
the acceptance of the Q.
Kingstree proposition, wljich, after g)
some discussion, was adopted by the w
Conference. A board of trustees C(
was then elected and empowered to tj
proceed with the erection of the
District parsonage at Kingstree.
The board of trustees is as fol- ^
lows: T W Boyle, J D Carter, E B S
Rhodus, R M Lafton, B F Jones, J S a
Wimberly, W PShular, J A KePey, q
and J B Clarkson. The executive t

Lake City, April 30:?Col. .
eter Epps, who never fails to see
le silver lining of every cloud, was
i town one day last week as spry as 1
robbin in newly burned stubble.
Mr J L Stuckey went away Monly

irough lower Williamsburg and ]
pper Georgetown counties. He will
e away about a week.
Rev Samuel C Morris, whose field .
f labor is in Dorchester county, j
;opped over with relatives on his
ay home for the session of district
anference of Upper Charleston Disnct.
Rev S J Bethea went to Kingstree
londay to present to Supervisor
ingletary several of the petitions
eking for an election on the liquor
uestion. We have been informed
hat upon the petitions that have
irculated are about nine hundred
lamesinthe aggregate. If all, or
ven ninety-five per cent of these, are
lames of qualified electors, the elecion
will be ordered. The number
{ qualified voters of the county at
he very outside can hardly exceed
hirty-five hundred?in fact, we are
?f the opinion that thirty-two hunIred
will cover them all.

Mr A P Hatchell went to Florence
Monday morning on business.
Mr M L Webster and family have
moved into their new residence
which i3 just west of Mr E J Wilts'
place.
Rev and Mrs A W Jackson are
now living in the dwelling house
known as the "Webster" house, in
Charles street. This estimable
young couple will be received by our
people with pleasure aud as well
tried friends whose coming among
us brings anything but regret. The
word "yonng" is ueed advisedly. He
only is old who is withered and decrepit,
and by this standard these
people have hardly reached more
than middle age
We are told that out in the West
are large rivers which, after flowing
along in bold streams many miles,
suddenly lose themeelves in the
sands of the arid plains, run dry as
the parched walls of the adobe huts
along their courses, leaving eu the
surface veritable waterless river, an
anomaly of nature. So, also, we
have au anomaly of 44 swilldom," a
dry dispensary. Last Saturday the
two-months-old thirst drained the
last drop into the crack of its
parched tongu?, dragged off iuto a
corner and covering itself with sackcloth
and ashes, wailed and wolled
and wulled and at last reports was
still doing time at the same job.
It is trie that the untoward
weather which wronght ruin to so
many crops laid its ban also upon
the straw-berries, yet all sections
of the truck growing territory suffered
and in the same ratio, and the
scarcity thus brought about is, in a
measure at least, being compensated
by the prices at which the berries
put on the markec are now commanding.
As illustrations: Mr L
M Belk shipped to W J and S II
Davenport, New York, and they
sold for 35 cents a quart, $11.20 a
crate and netted S9.05 a crate.j
Just think of it?a single bushel of
berries^old for enough clear net

On April 24, Jesse Johnson killed

From what can be learned the
iffair seems to be a wanton murder.
The two negroes?both young men?
were tussling when Johnson suddenly
drew a pistol and pointed it at
Collins, exclaiming, "Look out, I'll
shoot you." Without giving his
victim the slightest chauee be pulled
trigger and shot him through the
arm, the bullet passing through and
into the body, penetrating the heart.
As soon ah He was informed of
the killing Sheriff Graham went to
the scene, but the body the slain
mao had been removed to Rosemary,
in Georgetown county, knee no
inquest was held.

Foreston, April 29:?A pretty
wedding was solemnized at
the home of Mr and Mrs James
A Burgess, Foreston, S C., on
Wednesday afternoon, April 24,
at four o'clock, the contracting
parties being their pretty and
accomplished second daughter,
Miss Mary Cleo, and Mr Cicero
jC Richard, Hardeeville, S C.
Miss Laura Burgess, a sister
of the bride,was maid of honor,
and Mr J Alex Montgomery best
man. The ceremony was beautifully
and impressively performed
by Rev R L Grier, of the
Presbyterian church.
The bride was exquisitely attired
in a white satin princess.

The parlor was tastily decorated,

The immense popularity of the
charming bride was attested to
by the many handsome presents
she received.
Immediately after the ceremony
the happy young pair left
amid the felicitations of their
friends, and showers of rice and
old shoes, for Augusta, Ga., and
other Southern points of interest.

Trial Trip of the "Mercedes."
Last Sunday afternoon Capt..
Constine made his initial trip in
the " Mercedes," of which mention
was made some time ago.
Leaving the river bridge with a
party of twenty-seven he went
uown 10 ine ranroau orictge at
the rate of ten miles an hour.
The trip to and from the trestle
?some six miles?was made in
about thirty minutes, which included
a delay of at least five
minutes at the trestle to take
on four new passengers.
On the whole the trial trip of
the '-Mercedes" was distinctly
i success, and Capt. Constine
will doubtless find his craft very
popular for excursion parties
lp and down the river.
