The revival meeting at the Baptist church,which is being conducted by Dr E Pendleton Jones of Newberry, is attracting good congregations at the afternron and evening services. Dr Jones is a forceful preacher and his sermons,while simple, and deal mainly with every-day problems, are gems of brilliancy. Harmony Presbytery convened at the Williamsburg Presbyterian church here Tuesday and is still in session. A good representation of ministers and elders are present. Three sessions are being held daily, morning, afternoon and night. These meetings are very interesting and attract good audiences. The session will probably adjourn tomorrow, Friday. Mrs Myers, wife of Mr Byron H Myers, died at the family home in Latta Sunday afternoon after an illness extending over ten days.

The Episcopal Bishop was greatly pleased with the attention shown him and was unstinted in his praise of both these beautiful houses of worship, which he declared were manifestations of the zeal of the people who woishiped in them and a substantial ornament to the town. He also appreciated the fraternal spirit shown by the ministers and by the big congregation which heard him and which was drawn from every denomination in the town.

He Stold the Horse. The Record published last week an account of a negro,Andrew Johnson, alias Joe Smith, whose real name is Johnson, having been arrested and held in jail here on suspicion of stealing a horse. This suspicion has proven to be correct in spite of the long story told by the negro to the contrary. It has developed that Johnson borrowed a mule from a man in Sumter county for the purpose of going for a doctor. He failed to return with the mule, and several days later it was discovered that he had traded it for a horse to another negro man in a near by, community. The owner of the mule1 ror?r?\7erpd his nrnnprtv and then the owner of the horse, with a party of citizens, started in search of his animal. Their search was futile until late last week, when Sheriff Graham was notified by the Sheriff of Sumter that a horse had been stolen in that county by a negro, whose description he gave along with that of the horse. A few days ago the ower of the horse, accompanied by an officer of Sumter, came here for the thief and the stolen horse. Johnson was readily identified. The horse was in the custody of Mr J W King at Savage, in Florence county, where Johnson had been arrested by Rural Policeman Stancill. Sheriff Graham and the Sumter men went to Mr King's place and identified the horse, which an swered in detail the owner's description. Then it developed that Johnson had agreed to sell the horse to Mr King for $80.00, about half its actual value, and on this poor pretext Mr King refused to turn the horse over to its rightful owner without the presentation of claim and delivery papers. The owner had to return to Sumter without his horse. Nergo Man Killed on Kaliroad. The body of George McClowd, a negro tinner from Sumter, was found on the track of the A C L railroad early this morning near the Cypress Gall trestle with his head badly crushed. Coroner Kinder with Dr C D Jacobs and a jury composed of J P Wheeler, L F Swails, E N McCants, J W Driggers, J C Kinder, J T Burrows, P A Alsbrook, Harry Britcon, S W Mcintosh, R W Fulton and W B Thomas went to the scene, 1'nAW tn/\rmn/? fUn rvrl TT aiiu i.yuu vicmu^ UUUJ utcided that the man had come to his death from a blow on the head by the engine of a north bound train of the A C L railroad company. McClowd has frequently worked at his trade in Kingstree, and is said to have been seen here late yesterday evening under the influence of liquoi^ Board of Trade to Meet Tuesday. There will be held an important meeting of the Kingstree Board of Trade at the court house Tuesday evening, April 14, at 8:30 o'clock. The object of the meeting is to discuss the advisability of holding a county fair in Kingstree sometime during the coming fall, and launching plans tending to that end. This is a meeting that every citizen and member of the Board of Trade should attend. Farmers and others engaged in or interested in the agricultural growth and development of Williamsburg county seould also be present and signify a willingness to lend a hand toward the organization of a county fair association that Should be made permanent without delay. With the numerous boys' corn clubs and girls' canning clubs already organized in the county and ready to put forth their best efforts in contributing to the success of a county fair, right now is the time for all others to get busy and push such plans as may be determined upon Tuesday night.
