METHODIST CHURCH DEDICATED Bishop Collins Denny Preached Dedication Sermon. I The largest and most interested congregation that has gathered in a ' church here in some time was that I to witness the dedication of the new Methodist Episcopal church, South, last Sunday morning. Bishop Collins Denny of Richmond, Va, conceded to be among the ablest men in the Methodist church, presided over the ceremonies and preached the dedicatory sermon. It was one of the most intellectual dis- i courses ever heard here and was thoroughly appreciated by the large j congregation, made up of all the lo- j cal denominations. Rev W A Fairy, a former pastor and to whom much of the credit for the building of this splendid church is due,was present, to the delight of his old congregation. Presiding El der HBascom Browne, of the Kingstree district, was also noted in the I pulpit.Special music had been selected and was beautifully rendered by a special choir. The present pastor, Rev D A Phillips,sat in the pulpit and introduced Bishop Denny. In the evening the Bishop preached another fine sermon to a large congregation. t Seen at Salters. Salters Depot, February 23:? The fine weather of the past two.weeks has made the farmers a little more active in their operations for the present year.

The query for debate was: "Resolved, That the United States u SURVIVAL OF OLD CUSTOM Channel Islander Has Recourse to "Cry for Freedom," a Relic of the Past. A strange custom, dating back at least to Norman times, was revived in Alderney, in tlie Channel islands. Daniel Sebire Jurat, justicierelect of Alderney, whose election the royal court at Guernsey had annulled because he had been sentenced to a term of imprisonment some years ago. raised a "clameur de Ilaro," or a "cry- for justice/' against a fresh election by kneeling bareheaded at the entrance of the court house and exclaiming, "Haro! Haro! Haro! a l'aide, mon Prince! On me fait tort" (Help, my prince! I am wronged.) The "clameur de Haro," an ancient cusfom of "crying for justice," still survives in the Channel islands. The appellant must on his knees and before witnesses raise the crv, which acts as an iniunction until the al leged tort or trespass has been adjudicated upon by the court. If the trespasser continues, lie is liable to arrest and punishment. Though the clamour is still legal in the Channel islands, recourse to it- is very rare, and there had been no instance of it in Aldcrncy for two centuries. It is, however, a very effective procedure. The derivation popularly ascribed to the plea is curious. "Haro" is said to be an abbreviation of "Ha hollo!" a direct appeal to hollo, the first duke of Normandy, and is thus traced back to the days when there were no courts and justice was personally meted out bv princes. It is, however, more probable that "Haro!" is simply an exclamation to attract attention. A similar custom, applicable only in criminal cases, was the Saxon "clamor violentiae," which was in existence at the time of the Norman invasion. .
