Religious.
It is expected that work will be resumed on
the Methodist Church building this week.
The usual Quarterly Communion Services
were held at the Presbyterian Church last Sat
urday and Sunday. Rev. J. S. Cosby preached
Saturday. Dr. J.W.Davis,aChioeseMissionary,
preached Sunday morning and afternoon, also
delivering a lecture to the Sunday School.
At night he delivered his lecture on Chioa,her
people, their manners, customs and needs.
The address was replete with interest, and
while open to criticism as to delivery, was a
rare treat to the audieuce, which, notwith
standing the inclement weather, was quite
large. Dr. Davis is a native of North Caro
lina, a graduate of Davidson College, and an
efficient Missionary, who seems devoted to his
great work.
Church-goers had to brave the weather in
attending Church Sunday morning, and the
congregations were smaller than they might
have been.
There will be no service at the Episcopal
Church during the week, but there will be
services there next Sunday morning at 11
o'clock and evening at 7.40. AH interested,
are cordially invited.
The Frolicsome Gin.
About ten days ago, Edward Hatfield's
hand was caught in the saws of Mr. N. S.
McLeod's gin and the middle finger of his
right band so badly lacerated as to necessitate
amputation.
Mr. Ervin Branson's gin had a frolic wi*ti
fire last week which cam? near being serious.
A match, it is supposed, blazed while passing I
through the condenser and ignited the cotton.
By hard work the house aod gin were saved. I
The condenser and part of a bale of cotton
was burned with a loss of more than $100.
We congratulate our friend upon getting off
so light.
M. Knowles, gioner for Messrs. A. S. & W.
A". Srown, had his finger badly used up in a
tussle with some of the belting. He will
know better next time.
The Atkins & Barber R. K.
We are glad to hear that this road is pro
gressing finely. The owners propose to build
a road from their Mill near Magnolia on the
W. C. & A. R. R., toBishopvi'.leand beyond.
The road is to be of the same gauge as the W.
C. & A., and will be laid with good rails.
When complete to Bishopville, our friends
there will find it of great convenience. The
road is intended, primarily as a feeder to their
sawmill, but will be of great utility in
carrying Freight and passengers from Bishop
ville and intermediate places.
Court.
Court was called promptly yesterday morn
ing with Jndge Aldritch presiding.
lo his Honor's charge to the Grand Jury,
he pointedly condemned the leasing system
now in vogue at the Penitentiary, and showed
its wrong. The State should be a common
mother to all, and punishment for crime
should never degenerate into brutality. A
convict sent to the Penitentiary under sen
tence of hard labor has certain rights which
should be protected, and not the least of
these is against the cruelty of the contractor.
H ?3 Honor advocated the establishment of a
penal colony upon some sea Island, rather
than continue the present system. Many
children are sent to the Penitentiary, wbich
proves to them a most efficient school for vice.
*?beir training at home is of the worst. Pa
rents and preachers are frequently blind lead
ers of the blind, while the money spent in
training and educating their minds is often
worse than wasted, at times giving them the
opportunity of committing their favorite
crime?forgery. A reformatory school or
prison for children and youthful criminals
would fill a pressing need. The habit among
colored people of locking young children in
the bouse, while the parents are absent, thus
exposing the children to the danger of being
burned to death, was condemned, as was also
the dangerous carelessness in the use of con
centrated lye. This bas been used with
deadly effect as a poison, and should be used
with greater care.
The need of a stenographer as a matter of
economy was dwelt upon and the considera
tion of the Grand Jury was invoked in the
matter.
The Grand Jury found the following true
bills yesterday morning :
State vs. Jack Mtddleton?Larceny. (Steal
ing a pig.)
State vs. Charles Johnson? Larceny. (Six
Pigs-)
State vs. Porter Davis?Larceny. (A

Mr. Editor: News about here is like money
?scarce.
The eclipse of the mooa was a beautiful
sight. About four-fifths of it seemed covered.
The night was all that could be desired?
clear and silvery. It is strange our peopl
don't take more interest in such things, and
less in things that can't interest and instruct
them.
The cotton is about all picked. The yield
to the acre is poor. About a good half-crop
is made. Peas are cut off at least one-half. I
don't know what is to become of the farmers.
They seem to be going from bad to worse, in
a money point of view. No wonder when
they have made only one crop in four, and
then get but little for it. They hold out at
the business, though like the woman's cruse
of oil.
The colored Baptist Association will be
held near here in a few days. It embraces
Sumter, Kersbaw, Ricbland, Darlington, kc,
in its membership. Grand preparations I
hear are being made by the colored people to
entertain it, as it is a large body.
Antioch Baptist Church has a great revival
going on. The pastor, Mr. Hardio, is assisted
by a regular Yankee, a Mr. Jobosou. The
additions to the church are large.
A meeting is to be held in a church near
here soon. It is to be hoped that a result like
Antioch will follow. I assure you a revival
is sadly needed in our cherches, for the lines
between the church and the world are about
all gone.
The stove agents are now here trying to
collect their meney. I notice the man who
sells don't collect. One of them told me that
part of hie salary was for lying. Said he was
an expert at it, when he went to sell a stove.
Duggan, the people aronnd here sympa
thize with Mayesville about those Tigers, as
we know how dangerous they are, but I
thought you had killed them last Spring and
stuffed their hides. But this is a new lot I
suppose. Can't you get an order from the
Court next week to route them ? Then Sheriff
Sanders can go over there with a posse and
make them get up and get. If they are stub
born, seud up here for us. You know when
such things are tolerated it is because there is
not pluck enough to route them, or else they
are wanted, which is it? All my life I have
heard of a hard and a soft side to trees, but
never before a "fool side." Don't you think
wben a person can't answer questions he
ought to say so in plain terms ? Your advice
I to "Vox" is good, but what is to become of
us if you quit us I know not.
Mr. Editor, in my last I put a plain ques
tion to Mr. Wilder to answer. As be is "ex
officio" Chairman of the Board of Examin
ers, it is presumed that he was the proper one
to ask. Mr. Smith's qualifications for the
office of School Trustee, cannot be discussed.
It is the legal part I want answered. Jay
Gould owns property all through the West,
can he vote in any State but New York, where
! be lives? Can Mr. Smith, of Kershaw Co.,
! legally act as School Trustee of Sumter Co. ?
j Mr. Wilder don't say. As you have taken his
place, answer, you have not done it yet.

Tie Entertainment?Providence
Items.
PROVIDENCE, S. C, Oct. 5, 1385.
Mr. Editor: The "Entertainment" at Mrs.
E. J. Heriot's on Friday eveuiug, Oct., 2d,
in aid of the Episcopal Church at Bradford
Springs proved to be a perfect success in spite
of the heavy rainfall the previous day, and
the showers during the morning of the prom
ised exhibition. The elegant mansion select
ed, with its broad aud spacious rooms open
ing by folding-doors, and its extensive pas
sage ways, was most admirably adapted for
just such a display, while the kind-hearted j
and sympathetic gentlewoman in charge, with j
her graceful daughter, who eclipsed all oth
ers in "popularity," and the most gentle
manly head of the house, James English
Oeriot, Esq., made each of us fancy that we
were their especial guests. A very neat stage
had been erected and carpeted at the extrem
ity of one of the rooms, upon which rested a
marble-top staod adorned by a brilliant bou
quet of flowers in a glass vase. Along the
sides of the long passage-way were numerous
tables spread with delicious viands and in
the charge of a charmiag bevy of ladies, while
in an alcove beyond, there were other kindly
ones who dealt out substantials. A goodly
number of people sought admission at the
door, and expressed themselves later, as most
highly entertained. The Rev. LeGrand
Guerry, the present Rector, occupied a modest
seat lo the midst of his family, he looking the
very "pink of neatness," as if he had just
stepped out of a band-box, and his wife and
family the full expression of amiability and
sweetness. The reverend gentleman has won
golden opinions from all denominations of
Christians, hence many citizens from the sur
rounding country came with full purses to
express their liberality and strong personal
regard, so that at the close of the eveuing the
committee found that after deducting the ex
penses they were enabled to present Mr.
Guerry a very neat parting gift before he re
sumes his pastoral duties at Summerville, S.
C. We are happy to add, that religious ser
vices will still continue at the Church at
Bradford Springs, and that we will still be
permitted to enjoy his pleasant afternoon ser
vices at the "Arbor" near the hospitable niau
6ion of Mrs. E. S. Colclougb,
The selections, as you observed, were most
elgeant aud thoughtful, and were rendered
with grace, harmony, fire, and tender pathos.
I have no hesitation in saying, that I have j
heard some of the very best readers both at
borne aod abroad, but never any so full of
skill and expression. We were very sorry
that your distinguished towosmau the gifted
editor, poet and scholar, Wm. G. Kennedy,
Esq., was not preseut that he might have
glowed with intensity of feeling, as helistened
to the passionate recitation of his own beau
tiful aud patriotic "Memorial Hymn." Aud
you too Mr. Editor was sorely missed, that
you might have enjoyed the humorous touches
given to an article culled from your delight
ful columns.
Too much thanks cannot be extended to the
kiud ladies iu charge of the refreshment ta
bles, their sweet aud bewitching ways render
ing thein almost irresistible; to the queeuly
and gracious Postmistress and ber Military
assistant, distributing billet-doux with a gen
erous baud ; to the quiet, unobtrusive, yet
wonderfully winsome lady who bore with her
the very fragraoce of the Havana, very soon
displaced by the exquisite perfume of the rose
blended with the lily's purity aud grace; to
the fascinating flower-maidens, whose lovely
smiles, and fresh young faces were more
charming than their bouquets; to the vigi
lant and ever zealous member of the Commit
tee so eager to lay his trophies at the feet of
"Popularity's Self," aod anon, wielding the
"Auctioneer's" hammer with so much spirit i
and profit to us all ; to the Clmirman of the
evening, Maj. E. F. Burrows, active, ener- I
getic, and a gentleman "every inch of him ;" J
to the eulire Committee of Arrangement?, j
beaded by the genial "Captain," and closing j

who entered with alacrity into this testimo- j

Mr. Davis McElveen has completed his bouse
and he is now ready to begin house-keeping.
Friday morning Mr. Whitefield Wells' gin
house was broken into, and several hundred
pounds of seed cotton taken out. The thieves
were so closely pursued that they left two
baskets and a sack of cotton. The wagon
was tracked np to the Rev. (?) Capers An
drews' house where the stolen cotton was
found. Rev. Capers went to Sumter, chang
ed one wheel of his gagoD, had his horse shod
and employed a lawyer. Notwithstanding
the^e precautions he was sent up to the higher
Court for trial. Rev. Capers is a "locus"
preacher of the Reformed Methodist persuasion
aod will likely dispense his doctrines
to the denizens of the penitentiary
