Santee Baptist Association.
The Santee Baptist Association convened
at Wedgefield, on Thursday last. The attend?
ance was quite full, both as to numbers and
interest in the meeting. The financial reports
from the churches were remarkably gratifying,

rically, the growth was quite marked, over
162 having been added during tbe year to the
churches that compose tbe body, all of them
being situated in Sumter and Clarendon
counties, with one or two exceptions.

The attendance of tbe citizens was very good.
Sermons were preached by Messrs Wells,

To Subscribers.
AU subscribers to thfe paper should have
already received or will receive within a few
days statements of their accounts. A number
have already made settlements, and we hope
that others will respond promptly. The
accounts are all in small sums and each one
can be settled without material efforts on the
part of those indebted to us The large num?
ber of these accounts due makes the aggregate
sum quite large and it is important that we
make collections.
Who Said They Would ?
The Sumter Herald has interviewed the
officers of the S L. I. ns to whether the Com?
pany would be called out otherwise than by
order of the proper authorities, and received
the following replies :
"First we approached Capt A. C. Phelps
and asked him if the would call out bis com?
pany at the suggestion or command of any
persons other thao the proper authorities.
Here is hts written reply :
Capt. A. C. Phelps says: 'The Sumter
Light Infantry as an organization is a part
of the State volunteer troops, and as such
will respond to orders from the proper author?
ities only ?*
First Lieutenant D. W. Cul. ti no : As. a
member of the S. L. I., I could not assist in
resisting the State's authority, as the S. L. I
is one of the State's volunteer troop, and is
therefore- under the control of the Gover?
nor.'
Second Lieutenant R. X. Wilder : 'As a
member of the S. L. I. and the volunteer
troops of the State, under command of-the
Governor, I will be under his direction and
con ld not resist his authority.'
Treasurer William Yeadon: *I -3o not
endorse the sentiments expressed by the
speakers at the banquet in regard to the
metropolitan police force, and do not think
they expressed the sentiments of the com?
pany. I am opposed to any resistance to
State authority ' -
Color Bearer W. F. Rharae: 1 did not
hear the speeches at the S. L. I. supper,
and, of course, have no opinion to express in
regard to them. I never expect to take part
in aoy insurrectionary opposition to the legal
execution of State laws.
We also interviewed Sergeants Dick,
Lemmon, Green, A. G. Flowers and A. R
Flowers, and after some of them bad conferred
with Captain Phelps, they all endorsed hts
statement.
Last night we received the following
communication from Mr. W. F. Rhame,
which expltins itself :
SUMTER, S. C., Oct. 26, 1893.
Editor Herald : When your reporter called
this morning I was quite busy, and am not
sore of the verbiage-of roy answer What I
wished to say was: I could express no opio
as to the speeches made at the supper, as I
was not present, but I would certainly not
engage in any illegal opposition to the execu?
tion of the laws of tbe State. I will add that
I desire x rigid enforcement of tbe Dispensary
law. I believe in prohibici?n, and welcome
any step in that direction. W. F. RHAME "

The Masonic Temple.
Rumors have been flying about to the effect
that the Masonic Temple wa3 unsafe, that the
walls had bulged and the floors sagged, and
quite an excitement on the subject bad been
aroused. The following statement, which
emanate! from the Columbia Journal's Sumter
correspondent speaks for itself:
"Sumter, S. C., Oct 29.-The roof of
the beautiful new Masonic Temple of this city,
is said to be in a bad fix and has leaked con?
siderable of late. The rumor is current that
the entire roof will have to come off and that
in its present condition it is dangerous. Mr.
John B. Carr, the contractor who built
the temple, was seen yesterday by your
correspondent and said : "There is no d;mger
whatever in the roof of that temple and it is
perfectly safe. The roof, it is true, has leaked
bot nearly every root in Sumter leaked dur?
ing the recent disastrous storm and were dam?
aged in some way." A leading contractor
of this city as much as corroborated Mr.
Carr in the matter and says that if there ?3
anything wrong with the roof he can not see
where Mr. Carr is to blame as there was an ar?
chitect who drew the plans and was paid to
supervise the work. Mr.Carrsavs the building
was built under the supervision of the archi?
tect and according to the plans and that he
holds the architect's receipt for the buildiag.
Mr. Carr's statement is very plain and he is
willing to leave the matter to any fair minded
set of mechanics to decide."
In addition to this we may say that Con?
tracter McKiever, ha3 examined the building
and pronounces it perfectly safe, and that he
thinks there is nothing substantial in the
reports as to its uasafety.
This ought to settle the question.

A MYSTERIOUS METEOR.
It Surprises a Mississippi Farmer by Drop?
ping Near Him.
Mr. Mattox of Mississippi was hous?
ing his hens. The night was somewhat
cloudy. He had visited his barns, and
was on the point of returning to his
house when all at once he heard a pecul?
iar hissing sound overhead, and at the
same instant a luminous glow fell all
around him, as if the moon had sudden?
ly emerged from behind a cloud. He
looked up and was almost paralyzed at
the sight of a brilliant, fiery globe de?
scending through the air with the speed
of lightning and shooting a cometlike
tail far up into the heavens.
So rapid was the descent that it was
only visible for a second, but in that brief
space, he says, he suffered an eternity of
unspeakable terror. The fireball struck
the earth with a dull report scarcely 800
yards from where we stood. It was some
minutes before he could recover the use
of his limbs, when, running hastily to
his house, he aroused the family and sev?
eral laborers about the place, telling them
a comet had struck the earth and they
had only a few minutes to pray.
Tn a short while the whole plantation
was up, and women and children were
heard crying and supplicating heaven
for mercy. They could not get closer
than about 30 yards on account of the
heat and noxious fumes of sulphur and
gas which the stone emitted. The stone
sizzled and steamed and shot out jets of
steam or vapor from a thousand pores.
By daylight it showed up a dull, dingy
black and was full of pores, which still
shot out jets of vapor of an offensive
smell which almost stifled. The stone is
evidently imbedded in the ground for
some distance and shows only about a
foot above the surface. Mr. Mattox es?
timates it to be about the size or' a hogs?
head.-Chicago Post.
A Marvelous Steam Plant.
A new London steam plant has been
constructed of a character so largely au?
tomatic in its various mechanisms as to
appear almost independent of human at?
tention. This is particularly marked in
the case of the huge boilers, in the man?
agement of which, so long as tue steam
pressure is under 100 pounds, the auto?
matic stokers keep steadily at their work
feeding the furnaces, and the steam blast
keeps the fires roaring. As, however,
the indicator on the pressure gauge
creeps up toward the 100 pounds, a driv?
ing belt begins to slide off one wheel on
to another, and precisely at the max?
imum pressure the steam blast is shut
off, the stokers stop dead, and the fires
begin to die down. Then the driving
band begins to reverse its movement,
and presently the steam blast is turned
on, and the fires begin to be fed again,
the vast and magnificent driving wheel
of 30 feet in diameter, in the center of
the building, all the while revolving
with the utmost possible steadiness and
regularity. The self regulating charac?
ter of the different parts is pronounced
one of the typical wonders of modern
machinerv.-New York Sun.
Poojab. Stone In the Black Pagoda,
What threatened to be a serious ques?
tion between the people of Orissa and the
[ndian government has been settled by
the restoration of the "Poojah stone" to
the famous "Black Pagoda" in that prov?
ince, l>etter known as the "Temple of
tho Sun." For ages over the main en?
trance of the tem ??le there reposed a
large stone slab on which were carved
symbols of the sun, the moon, Mars, Ve?
nus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mercury and
the nodes of the moon.
Thirty years ago this "planet stone,"
as it has been called, fell *rom the archi?
trave of tiie temple, and, though unno?
ticed before, it appears to have at once
become an object of worship. Recently
the stone came under the observation of
the lieutenant governor of Bengal, who,
recogniziuK its artistic value and observ?
ing that it was lying apparently unre?
garded just where it fell, ordered its re?
moval to the India museum.
Hereur'':-. however, ensued great ex?
citement among the community, which,
as it subsequently appeared, had been in
the habic for years past of making offer?
ings to the stone and to the priest.
London News.
Bogus Silver Dollars.
It has leen discovered that West Virginia
towns have been flooded with thousands
of counterfeit stiver dollars. The bogus
money bas the true ring, but it is a little
over weight and perceptibly larger in
diameter. The milling is not perfect, but
so nearly so that it would take an expert to
detect the difference.
The people appear perfectly willing to
take them, although aware that they
were not minted by the government. There
?3 no clew to the makers of the spurious coin
(if a coin composed of more than the legal
amount of silver can be called spurious),
but the money appears to have gotten through
legitimate trade channels.
The question wi'h the people who have
taken thc stuff, is, upon what ground tbe
department can condemn the money. The
enterprise was probably started in r??
ponse to oft-repealed newspaper suggestions
that silver dollars of the same weight and
fineness as those made by the government
could be made at a profit of 40 to 45 cents on
the dollar.
Attempt to "Wreck a Coast Line
Fast Mail Train.
An attempt was made to wreck the fust
mail train No. 35 on the Northeastern rail?
road at Salem, near Florence, at 4 o'clock
last Salurday morning. A switch lock was
broken off and the switch was eel for the side
track, whither the whole train went. The
top of the engine was stripped off by lumber
and the coaches were seriously damaged.
Engineer Jennings stuck to his engine and
was bruised about the head and legs. The
negro fireman was bruised about the body.
A. Garfunkel, of Charleston, was a passenger
on the train, and was slightly bruised.
Travel was delayed a very short time There
is no clue to the perpetrators.

O'DONNELL ? CO.,
? Pall 1893. i
In making this, our Annual Fall Announcement, we desire to
call particular attention to our
HAT STOCK.
For years we have been making a specialty of this department, and we can
safely say that we have never been better prepared than tuis season.
-OUR STOCK COMPRISES
OVER 100 DOZEN SAMPLE HATS
of the latest shapes and styles, which we offer
AT ONE-HALF REGULAR PRICE.
This statement would seem incredulous, but we are prepared to prove it by
an examination of our stock. There are many citizens of Sumter County
who are now wearing hats bought from us tico and possibly three years ago
AT ONE DOLLAR EACH,
Who will bear us out in the assertion thal in some grades they are even less
than one-half what they have been paying for the same class of goods. Oar
friends seem to apprecaite our efforts in this line, for several days; before our
stock was received we were having inquiries :
''Have Your Hats Come Inf
And when they did come, before we had an opportunity of assorting and
marking them, several dozen were picked out. We would therefore advise
friends who wish a CHOICE F?R HAT, either soft or stiff in any shapo
AT ONE DOLLAR,
To call early and make their selections, as they are going very rapidly.
iLff Clothing Department
We are better prepared than usual to give you good value for the money
you wish to invest, from a
Boy's Suit at 65c. to a Man's Suit at $25.00.
We feel that we can supply your wants
SUSS Shoe Department
You will find HONEST VAD?E and a complete stock from which to select.
We cannot pass over this department without calling attention to our
Celebrated Brand of E. P. Reed & Co's,
We have had exclusive sale of these goods for five years and we will pay a
Beward ?K(\ to anv laa"y ,n ine county who has ever bought these goods
Q? t])tJU from us ami Up0n failure of the same to give satisfaction
that we did not BEFUND ESR MONEY, give a new pair of shoes or make
due allowance for the time they were worn. This we are authorized to
do by the manufacturers.
!N OUR DRY GOODS DEPARTMENT
We offer a complete line of Staple aud Fancy Dry Goods and DRESS
GOODS, with Trimmings to match. We might enter into an enumeration
of prices here that would astonish you, but as the STOCK IS SO LARGE
and advertising so expensive we merely ask you to call and be convinced.
In our Notion Department we Have a Lot of
Slightly Soiled Kid Gloves at 25c. pr. pair.
This includes some of the celebrated Centemeri brands. Our celebrated
GLOBE KID, in all shades, every pair warranted, has no superior.
Feafherbone C?r?et?#
The lady who desires solid comfort, ought to supply herself with a pair of
ibo above brand as soon as possible. The subjoined cuts give only a faint
tdea of them. They are made strictly of feather-bone and sold exclu?
sively by us.
We have elaborated considerably upon your exterior wants but have said
nothing about THE INNER MAN. No matter how poor the crop or how
low the price, WE MUST EAT and we were no less particular in pro?
viding for you in tit is respect than in our other various departments.
Flour is Cheap, and we Bought 500 Barrels,
So if you Want Rock Bottom Prices
See us before buying.
We cannot close this appeal to our friends without something to say
ABOUT THE COTTON BUSINESS.
Our reputation is pretty well established in the market, but we were never
better prepared lo handle the fleecy staple than wc are this season. Always
have the satisfaction of knowing that
O'Donnell Saw Your Sample,
For then you can feel assured if he did not buy, some one paid ali or
more than it was worth.
