JFILLINS, RECEIVER VS. SANDEBSt
.. SHERIFF.
The plaintiff alleged in; his coin
Tjilaiot that he had been appointed re?
ceiver of the assigned ass?ts of one
Whiteheart and that the; defendant was
in possession cf ? portion of She assign?
ed property? and he demanded judg?
ment that defendant deliver to plain?
tiff possession^ of the said property, or
the value thereof, in case a delivery
could not be had. The defendant de?
fied most of the allegations in the com?
plaint. The case was heard and the
only evidence submitted was an order
of. ^be Circuit-Judge appointing the
plaintiff receiver, and an order of the
["Circnit-Jadgeirestraining the defendant
from selfing or disposing of the pro
^ty -ini his possession, and also testi-.
mony of the deputy sheriff that the
property in possession of the defendant
had been levied upon as the property of
rWbitehean. - - -
?pon tbis't?strmjony -the Circuit
Judge granted a non-suit on motion
[^defendant The plaiutiff appealed.
The Supreme Court sustains the
ruling of the Circuit Judge. - A non
.*ttii\ is proper where there is no evi?
dence pertinent to the material allega?
tions, ono or more, of the complaint.
See Carter & Holmes vs. Dorrance, 19
S. G., 32; Hogg vs. Pinckoey, 16
S. C., 387.
There was no evidence to the point
that the property levied upon hy the de?
fendant was embraced' in the assign?
ment, which was the gist of the action;
or at least was as material as the fact of
assignment and receivership, and the
non-suit followed as matter of course.

Keep Your Sabbath.
Bs jealous na this , point. Whether
you live in town or country, resolve to
i profane your: Sabbath, and in the end
you wrll give over caring for your soul.
The steps which lead td this are regular.;
Begin with not honoring God's day, and
you wtlr u? -honor- God's boase, cease
[to honor God's book, and by and by
you will give God no honor at all. Let
anyone lay the foundation of no. Sab?
bath and I am not surprised if he fin?
ishes with the topstone of no God. It.
was a Temarkablfe saying of Judge Hale,
that of all persons'convicted of. capital
crimes while he was on the bench, he J
found not a few who did not confess that \
they began their career of wickedness
by neglect of the Sabbath.
Have you ever noticed what a pecu?
liar thing Sunday sickness is? The in?
disposition comes On suddenly The
victims "retire on Saturday night in
? usual health, but on awakening on Sun?
day morning somehow they 'do not feel
very well/ aud they* 'guess they won't
go to Church to-day.' But fortunately
it never proves fatal or very serious.
Monday mornings the suffering ones
are in their usual health. People suf
ing -from this malady never take
much medicine.
-Value of Cotton Seed.
Sir J. B. Lawes, of England, says
that he has proved that a ton of cotton
seed meal, costing $31.50 that was fed
to his animals, added $28.25 to the
value of manure they made. So he got
the feeding value for $3 25. He isa
man who makes experiments with care,
and for the purpose of positively know1
ing the facts involved. -Another writer
has proved very clearly that a ton of
cotton seed boiled, and fed to beeves,
may be made to add ?25 in fat; flesh
and selling value. We- have uo doubt
that a ton of good cotton seed on the
lands^of the right man, may give to the
farmer in flesh, fat and manure, from
$40 to $50 in value, and yet farmers
are selling millions of "bushels of this
valuable'article at less than ten cents a
bushel-62 bushels to the ton ; ?6 a
ton. And much of this comes from
poor lands that need fertilizing, and
from farms where cattle in the winter
have neither bed nor shelter.
The ?W Shaped Bang.
The latest idiocy in feminine adorn?
ment ?3 thexV shaped bang, and it is cal?
culated to give an evil minded cast to the
fairest countenance. It is particularly
affected by working girls, .and is known
as the Tycoon bang, but whence it
derives its origin no one xoows. *I
cut a good many of them,' said an in- |
telitgent barber 'but I mentally object j
every time I do so. My business is to
adorn and not to disfigure, but I ara
a poor man,-and it isn't my place to
give advice' It is rumored that the

Elocution in the Parlor.
What a fashion this reading, or, to
be more correct, recitation, has become.
Ten years ago only the professional
elocutionist, the Shakespearean reader,
ever thought of doing anything of tlc
kind, while now everybody stands up
in a parlor and repeats his or her littlj
verse in excellent style. I say 'every?
body,' because people never before
suspected of having tris gift are con?
stantly popping out and surprising their
friends with this favorite accomplish?
ment Judging by them, I imagine
all the others are meditating on thc
possibility of their being asked next
time. If one hasn't a voice to sine
with, ncr any other talent to be glori?
fied, it seems providential that reading
has come in vogue, as it gives the niuih
desired opportunity to shine before men
and women of society When a pretty
girl stands up and recites something
having all the car mark.? of ber teacher
in elocution about it, the crudeness of
tho effort is overlooked in the pleasure

Numerical Strength of the
Leading Churches.
BY. REV4-JV THOMAS PATE.
All Christian Churches have been
growing rapidly during the past year.
The rapid; development in numerical
strength has caused some thoughtful
men to proclaim the near approach of
the millennium. Without accepting
this proclamation as a verity, there
is something in the rapid growth of
Ghr?stiaii?ty that thrills the heart of
the'child of God with joy. Never in
the history of the Church has there
ever been manifested such zeal, such
devotion and euch liberality. The
great epochs of the past furnish no
parallel with the present. As we
think of the future success of the
Church'-OUT heads grow dizzy over
its dazzling glory. The time seems
njt far distant when "a nation will be
born in a day/7 and thousands will be
saved in an hour. Last year there
was a steady and fine advance. The
Year Books of all the various denom?
inations have been issued. The loss?
es in deaths, withdrawals and expul?
sions are large ; but despite this fact
none of the leading Churches show a
decrease in their membership^ but on
the other hand a large gain. The
following figures are taken from the
Independent, the strongest and most
impartial religious paper published in
America. It claims tar be independ?
ent, but it has been thought that it
sometimes leans toward the Congre?
gationalists. Here are the figures :

made by the Methodist Church. Of
the 175,000 net gain 75,000 was made
by the Methodists in the Si uth.
'Joseph' is proving 'a fruitful vine 3
While these figures should encourage,
they ought also-to urge every Chris?
tian forward to greater diligence in
work for the Master. 'The world
for Christ' should be the controlling
idea in the mind of every child of
God -Christian Advocate.

"At what expense?"
The trifling sum of $6 00, including book.
"Why so cheap when Colleges advertise the
