In the late trial of Mr. W. A. James, the

treated to some se able legal, addresses as we
ever heard. Gen. Moise's opening speech,
handicapped as he .was with fatigue was a
splendid ?{fort, and was listened to with
absorbing interest throughout irs delivery.
He was followed by Col. J. H. Earle, sud we
donbt if more argument pathos and reasoning \
-just such reasoning as would influence a ;
jury-could be condensed in the 75 minutes !
in which he spoke. Gen. Yonmans amply
sustained bis great repu tatio' as a forensic ora?

was'remarkably good. The honors however
remained in Sumter-Gen. Moise and Col.

Religious.
Rev. Mr. Webb, of Bethel, Presbyte^
preached in the Presbyterian Church Sunday,
morning and evening.
Rev. Dr. Bailey, Corresponding Secretary
of the State Baptist Convention, preached in
the Baptist Church last Sunday night.
There was no service in the Baptist Church
ia the morning, the pastor being absent in
attendance upon the San tee Association at
Wedgefield.
Revs. D. C. Hardin, Hupu F. Oliver, and
J. H. Carpenter have been in town the past
week.
A large number of Sumter people went to
Wedgefield Sunday to attend the meeting of
the San tee Association at that place.
The Presbyterian Synod met in Cberaw
last week. The reports from the Presbyteries
were very encouraging, and the meeting was
very pleasant. The Woodrow matter was up
as usual, and a resolution requesting him to
resign was adopted by a large majority. Dr.
Woodrow, however, refused to do so.
Rev. John Kershaw will not hold service
to-morrow (Wednesday) but will fill hts pul
: pit as usual, next Sundary morning and
I night.
The Santee Association.
This body met with the Wedgefield church
last Thursday aod adjourned Sunday. Col.
T. V. Walsh was chosen as Moderator, Rev.
C. C. Brown Clerk, and W. M. Graham
Treasurer.
The meeting was one of the most pleasant,
that body has ever held, and the abounding
hospitality of the good people of Wedgefield,
irrespective of denomination, added a much
enjoyed social zest to the religious features of
the occasion. Col. Hoyt or the Baptist
Courier^ Rev. R. H. Griffiths, State Agent of
Furman University, Rev. Dr. Bailey Corres?
ponding Secretary of the State Convention
were present and added to the interest of the
exercises.
With one or two exceptions, the churches
were all represented, and the reports sent up
were most ecouraging, the membership in
a number of them having been largely in?
creased.
An interesting event iras the dedication of
the Wedgefield Church, Sunday afternoon,
by Rev. R. H. Griffith. His sermon was said
to be remarkable for its eloquent power. The
Wedgefield brethren have a nice church, and
better still, it is paid for.
The next meeting of the Association will be
held with Graham Church, io the Zoar neigh?
borhood.
Happy Souls Made One.
Oar editors are in luck. Mr. B. S. Dinkins
as we mentioned last week is a happy Bene?
dick. Mr. S. A. Nettles, of the Clarendon
Enterprise, and Miss Sue Gallucbat were mar?
ried last Wednesday ; and Mr. C. W. Birch?
more of the Water?e Messenger, and Miss Eva
B. Sligh, of Ridgeway, were married on the
j 13th.
J We extend our wafme?t congratulations to
our editorial brethren. May they live long
and prosper ; may their subscribers rise up
and call them blessed,-or, what will be
still more pleasant, pay their subscriptions.
May no paper bills come in until the honey?
moon is over, and may the devil stick to his
ease, never ask for copy, and leave these
blissful souls for one short month to the undi?
vided cou temptation of their beatific happi?
ness.

It has been said that the prevailing "dry
drought" has evaporated th? DEW: be this as
it may, there is a pood deal due bj the farm?
ers upot? which it has had no effect. I think
there is moisture enough left for a small dew.
So much for an introduction.
The cotton is nearly all out. I never saw
it gathered as easily, and well.
Corn is being hauled in ; and shows gaod
yields where sufficient work could be given it
last Sommer.

farmers : Dr. J. H. Furman and Messrs. W.
O. Cain and M. G. Ramsey have goods crops

Geddings as furnishing tine beef to hrs custo?
mers.

week, and ts running his gin as usual, to the

last Summer.
