We understand that Messrs. MrCntchan &

fine farm, near Wedgefield. There are near
400 acres in the place, and the price paid was
something over $20 per acre. This was a
high price for so large a body of land, but it
"is abundantly worth it, and we doubt if it

Fire Extinguisher.
On Saturday afternoon of last week, Mr.
A.C. Latimer, of Belton, S. C., exhibited at
Hoyt's Gio, a remarkable invention known as
the Taylor and Cox Fire Extinguisher. The
' steam and bot water is conducted from the
' boiler through iron piping into the gin house,
and through a perforated ball, is distributed
S? over the building with a force and rapidi?
ty that is truly wonderful. The bot spray
sett as a damper on the oxygen of the air,
I and renders farther combustion impossible.
It seems admirably adapted also for laying
tbs dost of tbe lint room.
Tbe extinguisher was on exhibition at the
late State Fair, where a room partly filled
with sbarings and lint cotton saturated with
oil Was set pn fire. In one minute, by the
watch, tse fire, which had gained consider?
able headway, was completely extinguished.

The South Carolina Conference.
The ninety-eighth session of the Sooth Caro?
lina Conference of the M. E. Church South,
met in the Methodist Church at Sumter, at 10
A. M. last Wednesday, Bishop A. W. Wilson
presiding, and Rev. W. C. Power, Secretary.
Rev. W. D. Kirkland tendered his resigna?
tion as Assistant Secretary and Rev. J. W.
W?lling was appointed in his stead. The at?
tendance of both the Clerical and Lay dele?
gates was nnosually large, there being 178
ministers and 42 lay members present. The
meeting was good. The reports were gratify?
ing both in a spiritual and financial sense.
The severe drouth of the past year affected the
salaries and collections, but not to the extent
that was feared, and the members generally
had the contented happy look, which always
follows the execution of duties well perform?
ed. The efficient Secretary, Mr. Power, gave
the Conference a brief outline of the progress
of Methodism in our State since the organiza?
tion of the Conference, nearly one hundred
years ago. In 1787, Dr. Coke and Bishop
Asbory organized the old S. C. Conference}
which then: comprised South Carolina, and
parts of North Carolina and Georgia.
The next . year, eleven ministers, 1242
white and 102 colored members were
reported, and this number bas increased
until now we have 178 ministers and 49,278
white members. There are 591 houses of
worship, 109 parsonages 2 colleges, ll school
houses and 26 camp grounds. In 1882, $91,.
OOO were collected for ministerial support and
$66,000 for missionary, educational and be?
nevolent enterprises, and in the last decade
?847,000 have been raised for the same pur?
poses.
Services were held each night during the
entire week. >
Monday night-Sermon by Rev. S. P.. H.
Elwell-quite forcibly delivered and above
the average in thought. Mr. Elwell was a
brave soldier, and left one arm in Virginia.
Tuesday night-Meeting of the Historical
Society. Address by Rev. H. M. Mood-a
biographical sketch of three of the Methodist
pioneers in this State. The essay was alto?
gether acceptable-was sprightly in thought
and style. It will be published in the Chris?
tian Advocate at Dr. Weber's request.
Wednesday night-Dr. Weber preached the
annual sermon before the young ministers of
the Conference, Something was detracted
from Mr. Weber's usual force by the fact that
he read his sermon very closely.
Thursday night-A meeting in the interest
of Church Extension Board was held. Ad?
dressed by A. Coke Smith. The address was
weil-timed and weH-received. *Mr. Smith is
the most promising young man in the Con?
ference.
Friday morning-Mr. Candler, of Geo,, ad?
dressed the Conference in the interest of the
Payne Institute for colored ministers, which
3 to be opened January 1st in Augusta.
Rev. George Walker of the Conference has
been elected one of the teachers in said school.
Friday night-The Bishop delivered a
most powerful address on Missions, beyond
doubt, one of his best efforts, eloquent,
thoughtful, solid and substantial. Io no
other address did he arise to such a height.
Saturday night-Addresses on education
by Prof. Carlisle, of Wofford College, and the
Bishop. Prof. Carlisle, in our opinion, is
the leader among the thinkers in this Confer?
ence, and in his address sustained his magni?
ficent reputation.
Sunday, Bishop Wilson preached at the
Methodist Church in the morning and Dr.
Meynardie in the evening. Rev. R. N. Wells
and Dr. Capers fillet he Baptist pulpit and ?
Rev. A. C. Smith ?nd *!JV. H. P. Richardson

Monday, the services began drawing to a j
close. The Secretaries wore a jaded look, j
and all were looking forward eagerly to the j
closing services at night when the appoint-j
men ts would lie made known. The house was j
crowded all day, indeed it has been so during |
the entire abeting, it feeing difficult to Sud j
even standing room in the aisles. Monday j
night closed the work of the Conference, j
The following resolutions were unanimously i
adopted :
Resolved, 1. That the S. C. Conference re?
cords with gratitude the cordial recep'ion, j
and the unstinted hospitality given it by the j
citizens of Sumter.
2. That we appreciate and heartily recipro- '
cate the spirit of Christian courtesy exhibited j
by the different pastors of the city in inviting j
us to occupy their pulpits.
The appointments were read, (see another
column) carrying joy or sorrow to many ex?
pectant hearts, the doxology sung, the bene- j
diction pronounced and the Conference ad?
journed to meet one year hence in Charles?
ton.

Letter to Santa Claus.
Dear Old Santa Claus-.
I call you old, because Papa say3, you are
the same ''Santa Claus" that lived when
Grand Pa was a little boy, and be is over 75
years old now. Papa says you are either at
the North Pole, or in Norway or Russia to?
day, he don't know exactly where, but if I
write you through The Watchman an? South?
ron you will be sure to get my letter, as it is
a very popular paper and goes everywhere.
Dear Santa, please come and see us once
more next Monday night. Papa says times
are so hard and moDey so scarce, that be is
afraid you won't be able to come, and make
us have a "Merry and Happy Christmas."
You musn't buy and bring us expensive
presents, but only some little trifle to make
oar hearts glad.
I am going to be very good because Mama
says you never go to see bad little girls. I
am going to hang up a stocking for myself
and for each of my little sisters, I have two
you know, and I tb ink I will also bang up
one for our nu ree, and also for the little boy
that brings os our meals; there is also a nice
little boy in our house, one of our little cou?
sins, he plays so nicely with us, just like a
little girl, has dolls, and sews, and if he
wore a dress instead of pants, and jacket he
would pass for a little girl. 1 think I will
hang up a stocking for him too-we are* all
going to bed early, because mama says you
won't come until we are asleep, and Ido
wan't you to come "so bad." If you don't I
will be so disappointed, I'll cry. Don't for?
get Sumter next Monday night, but come and
make all our little hearts glad-I have some
nice little cousins in the house around the
corner, and they are all anxiously looking
for you. Good bye until next Monday night.

for planting next yeur ; besides the saving of
wear and tear of stock and vehicles during
the winter. OCCASIONAL.

'Yes,' she said, 'our ^children are married
and gone, and my husband and I sit by our
winter fire much as we did before the little
ones came to widen the circle. Life is some?
thing like a spiral staircase ; we are all the
time coming around over the spot we started
from, only one degree further up the stairs.'
'That is a pretty illustration,' remarked her
friend, musingly, gazing into the glowing
coals which radiated a pleasant heat from the
many-windowed stove. 'You know we can?
not stop toiling up the hill, though.'
'Surely we cannot, and for myself I don't
find fault with that necessity provided the ad
vance in life is not attended with calamity or
suffering, for I have bad my share of that.
Not long since my health utterly broke down.
My system was full of malaria. My digestion
became thoronghly disordered and my nerves
were io a wretched state. I was languid, ate
little and that without enjoying it, and had
no strength or ambition to perform even my
light household duties. Medical treatmeu'
failed to reach the seat of the trouble. The
disease-which seemed to be weakness of all J
the vital organs-progressed until I had j
several attacks which my physicians pro?
nounced to be acute congestion of the stomach.
The last of these was a desperate struggle and
I was given up to die. As the crisis had j
partially passed, my husband heard of the
merits of Parker's Tonic as an invigorant in
just such cases as mine. I took it and felt its
geod effects at once. It appeared to pervade j
my body, as though the blessing of new life |
had come to roe. Taking no other medicine j
I continued to improve, and am now in bet
ter health than I have been for a long time.'
