Religious. Lenten services are mai s tat ned regularly by Rev.

The general sub? ject of the lectures given at each service is '.The Christian Life; its perils, its aids and its objects." According to announcement a meeting was held cn last Thursday night at the Methodist Church for men. The pastor made an earnest and impressive talk and stated that the object of the meeting was to afford an opportunity to those whose engagements prevented attend? ance upon the weekly afternoon prayer meet? ings. The me:tings will be continued on every Thursday evening hereafter. Important Movement. An informal meeting of the merchants and cotton buyers of the city was held at the office of Mr. C. E. Stubbs on yesterday evening for the purpose of consulting as to eke advantage of a public colton weigher. Mr. Bacot pro? posed to the meeting to erect at the depot a platform which would accommodate six hun? dred bales of cotton and a brick warehouse with the capacity for eight hendred bales. Mr. R. A. Brand, the Railroad Agent, was present and stated that the company would co-operate with the business men in whatever they agree upon to facilitate business; and stated further that in view of instructions issued to him since January 1st. requiring thaterery bale of cotton must be weighed at the depot before shipmsnt, a public weigher j and warehouse would expedite very much the ! shipping of cotton. The pres and cons were discussed, but noth- j ing positive WHS agreed upon. A committee I of turee, with Mr C. fi Stubbs as Chairman, was appointed to ooefer with all of the mer? chants Hjd cotton buyers and report at a meeting io he held nest Tuesday All of the parties present were facotable lethe move? ment. This is a step in the direction of progress, and it will certainly relieve thc nxrr?ants of a great dea: of expense and trouble, and will expedite the shipment of colton very much, besides preventing the blockading of our ? streets and endangering the property of the j whole town in case of a cotton firv-; and a ; public weigher, being a disinterested party, | ought to give satisfaction in weight, to both seller and buyer. It will be greatly to tfce advantage cf both .: merchant and farmer to bave a warehouse ] where they can store their cotton and get ad- I vance* of money from the Bank on warehouse j receipts should it not be desirable to ship and sell at once. Bishopville Items. B?SHOPVIL?.S. S. C., March S, 1888. Mr. Editor : We wrote you last week but through the negligence of one of our friends it was never mailed. The Bishopville Bise Ball Club organized about two weeks ago. Mr. Walter James, the Manager last season, who filled the position go ably and efficiently, resigned. Mr. S M. Clarkson was unanimously elected Manager, Secretary and Treasurer. There will be a match between the ?ist and second nines, S?turday, ihe 10!h. Cur club will soon be in condition tocro3S bats with any amateur nine. The feather renovators are tn our midst and doing quite a thriving business. The riaily train from and to Bishopville is a great thing. Everyone, as a matter of course, 13 delighted. We can now go and return ? from Sumter the same day having 5 hours in ihe city. After the 16th of this month we will also have the mail 6 times a week, instead of 3, as formerly, lt will still be carried by Mr. Ep? person the pr?sent contractor. Quite an im? provement. Now we will be aole to enjoy the luxury of a daily p:*per, &c. Une of our young men came very near killing a colored man yesterday. He pointed ; the rifle at the n^gro thinking it was not load- j ed. The negro, fortunately, was only scratched by the bullet. That unloaded guu J again. They truly are the most dangerous.

K. j _-??-?-??.- - The insurance swindle in Charleston has : swelled to larger proportions than was at first j dreamed of. The companies have been de- ! frauded of about $25,000, and there i3 no j estimating the number of bodies that have j been resurrected and reburied as being men now living. The elder Bond played this j game ot? his own son, a mere youth who had j no connection with the transaction, ile theo j forged his wife's name to a receipt for ?2.'"00 | insurance, and got the money. The pb- si- I ciao who would g:ve the certificates of death, etc., was Dr. James P. Kond ; the clergyman. : Dr. Shafer, soni-ttmes "Parson Stiafrs," pall bearers, young R. E. L. Shafer and others \ not yet caught: and the insurance agent, j Thomas H. Bond, who skipped. A railroad accident occurred Monday near j Camden on the T'tfee C's railroad, in which i one man was killed, and three probably ! fatally injured. A construction tram ran ; into .some fiat cars. A brutal murder was commi'ted near ! Coluc.'t-ia. on last Siiuday night. The watch? man at lb? Uroad River Bridge was kiiled and the keeper and his wife brutally assault? ed by parties unknown.

To the Clergy and Laity of the Diocese of South Carolina : DEAR BRETHREN : You have all doubtless beard of the total loss by fire of St. John's Church, Winnsboro, on the night of theist inst. Br the advice and direction of the Bishop, I appeal to the rector of every Parish and Church in the Diocese, large or small that he will give me an offering from his Church on Easter Sunday, and if that is already devoted to some other purpose, then on some Sunday before Easter. Our people and town hare contributed gen? erously to help rebuild our Church, but the amount subscribed is not sufficient, and we must depend on your aid for the required balance. We ask the laity to send us individual sub? scriptions. The calamity is great, and we urge a gen? erous and prompt assistance, without which we cannot hope to rebuild. Very truly, yours, JAS. G. GLASS, Deacon in charge. Winnsboro, S. C.. .March 3, 1888. To the Congregation of the Church of the Holy ?Conforter : DEAR BRETHREN': St. John's Church, Wiunsboro, was recently destroyed by fire. The Minister tn charge together with the Wardens and Vestry, have sent us an appeal for aid in rebuilding. I take this method of giving notice that on Sunday next your offerings will be asked for that purpose, and I ask that you respond liberally. JOES KERSHAW, March 14, 1S8S. Rector. Prof. A. E.

A correspondent writing to the Manning Times, under date of Sumter, S C., February 24th, says : ''Last Fall your advertising agent visited Sumter in the interest of the Manning Times. Wry soon afterwards one entire sideof your valuable journal was fi 1 ; ed with advertise? ments of Sumter merchants. We don't pre? tend to say why it was, but it is nevertheless a fact that Sumter's Clarendon trade swelled to larger proportions in less than two months afterwards, than it ever was before, and her trade from that section of country, we hon? estly believe, was doubled during the last cot? ton season. Indeed some of us learned that it pays to advertise, and have not the mer? chants of Manning learned it too? Let's see. Who is it that is now selling more goods thau any other merchant in Sumter. Where is it that the people, from the most fashionable and fastidious down to the little school girl, is rushing day by day that they may make their selections from the largest and best assorted stock of spring goods ever brought to this market? Don't be surprised when we tell you Mr. F. Levi, the son of Clarendon's prince merchant, is the man, and Bogin's old stand on M tin Street in Sumter is the place. Mr. Levi met with a warm reception here, and j he demonstrates an eye to business in employ- j ing Sumter clerks. Irrespective of cost, he picked from the numerous stores of the city, the clerks b-st calculated to handle each line | of merchandise, and the consequence is. hts store is crowded from morning till night with ! the patrons of his employ?es as weil as his ! friends from Clarendon. Such men are bound i to succeed. a:.d will prosper AVi".rever they go. : Sum'er looks for the old Prince next, for lie ; cannot content himself to remain in as dull a | town as Manning must be now, since her en- j ergetic young men are leaving. Come oa, Sumter will receive all such men with open arms, and give them business too." Is Consumption Incurable? Read the following: Mr. C. II. Morris, New? ark.

Brgan taking Dr. King's New Disc wry f->r consumption, ain now on my th:rd bottle, sind abie to oversee the woik cn au y farm. It is the finest medicine ever ?uade." Jesse Aliddicwart. Decatur.
