Heligious.
A series of six sermons on "Christianity
Applied to Some of our Social and Economic
Problems," will be delivered at the Baptist
Church, by the pastor, commeociog on next
Sunday night. The order of the sermons and
the subjects will be as follows :
1. Yoong Man, Get a Home, or the Problem
of the~ Clerk.
2. Move on, or Move Out, the Story of the
World's Progress.
3. Why Do the People Gromble?or the
Problem of the Laboring Man.
4. Our Duty to the Negro, or the Voice of
God after the Battle.
5. Switching Off from the Church, or Why
Do They Depart?
7. The Coming Woman, or "Barriers
Burned Away."
The series of sermons will deal with some
of the most wide y discussed subjects of the
period. The questions are so generally dis?
cussed because of the wide interests involved.
Mr. Brown will deal with the questions in bis
usual forcible manner, and his congregations
cannot fail to receive much .practical benefit.
He will give facts, and reason from them, and
not follow the delusive fancies of the present
race of social dreamers.
Rev. T. G. Herbert, Jr., will preach in the
Methodist Church on Sunday night.
The sermon of Rev. J. W. Daniel at the
Methodist Church on last Sunday morning,
was, as before announcedt "To Business
Men," and was attentively listened to by a
good congregation. Tbe Text was 1 Kings
xix : 4., and the sermon, as might be sup?
posed took under consideration the present
depression in business and the troubles of
business in consequence. The following notes
will convey an idea of the lessons that were
drawn from the text :
The stroogest and bravest men fail, and
fail at their stroogest points. Watch your
strongest characteristic*. Elijah was vexed
never let your business troubles make you
cross ; iet your deportment and miee be of
tbe most cheerful kind ; God reigns and the
promise, "All things shall work together for
good to them that love God," is yours. Let j
it nerve you for every trial you may have in
these days of business depression. Never be?
come discouraged. It is a suggestive fact
that tbe first day our Lord spent on earth,
after bis resurrection, was devoted to the dis?
pelling of that cloud of discouragement whieb
had gathered about His followers. Be full of
sympathy. Elijah lacked sympathy. Men
all around us need our help. Speak words of
good cheer to your fellow business men, who
are struggling under financial burdens; it
will help them and help yen. God came to
Elijah's help. He told him good news. (See
18th verse.) Let bim sleep. Never caqry
your business troubles into your family nor
to your pillow He prepared a meal for him,
made bim sensible of His watchful care orer
him. God Drought him forth from the cave
where be was hiding and gave him an object
lesson which he doubtless never forgot-(vs.
3-13). He gave him work todo.-(vs. 15
46.) Be faithful. Work, pray and wait and
God will bring good out of the crisis through
whjch we are passing, and not a bair of your
head shall be troubled.
The subject of Rev. Mr. Daniel's sermon at
nigbt was "Influence," and the text was the
last cia ase of the 9th vs. of 14 ch. of Genesis
He impressed cpon bis bearers tbe great value
of the sou! aod the duty of mankind to rescue
one another from danger. The text is the first
question OD record as propounded by man to
God, and is the last that shall be answered.
Therefore, be wise, shun the very appearance
of evil and live for God.
Mr. Daniel announced that tbe subject of
his sermon on next Sunday morning would
be: "The Personal Appearance of Christ, I
and its Effect Upon Those With Whom He
Came into Contact."
The Best in the South.
The Sumter Electric Light Works have the
best record for continuous running without j
accident or shut down ot any system in the j

Pea Nut Party.
The Working Circle of Kings Daughters j

A Delightful Surprise.
Mr Editor: I have received much
consideration and naught but kind?
ness from the citizens of Sumter from
the first time I passed through her
streets, December 13tb, 1850, as a
wearied traveler, with a tired horse
The culminating point however was
reached in your city last Friday night
the 12th inst, when to our surprise
"company was announced."
It was a large company, all with
bright and cheerful faces. It was
composed of husbands and wives,
brothers and sisters, little boys* and
large girls, little girls and large boys,
young men and maidens-and on they
pressed, and in they crowded, until
there was hardly standing room. It
was a joyous crowd. Their hands and
arms which were laden with gifts
indicated business. Some of these
were heavy, requiring four mules and
strong arms to put them in place,
others calling into requisition the
lighter delivery wagon.
These gifts were of various sizes
and weights, from barrels to lead
pencils. They were of various sbarjes
and colors, of bundles, sacks, of wood,
of glass, of tin and costlier make
(Japanese ware) and silver. They
were of various colors, of red, of
orange and other shades. Some were
in liquid form, some were not. Some
of these gifts were sweet, some were
sour, some were from the far North,
some were from the far South, (The
Land of Flowers.) some were cooked,
some were not, some for health, some
for sickness, some were useful, some
were ornamental, some to nourish the
body, and some were to feed the mind
as the latter lay before me in the
beautifully bound volumes from the
gifted pen of Eev. J. Walter Daniel of
our city. "The-Girl in Checks," "Out
from under Caesar's Frown" and "A
Bambie among Surnames." There
were fruits and there were flowers.
But where is my pencil carrying me ?
I purposed in the beginning of this,
simply to ask a little space in your
i paper to return to all who are repre
j sented in these gifts my kindest
thanks. Very respectfully.

Blind Tiger Arrested.
M. D. Wheeler, the colored fruit dealer who
runs a little shop on Main Street next door to
Levi Bros., was arrested on Monday night by
Chief A. H. Weeks for selling liquor in viola?
tion of tbe City Ordinance enacted on Novem?
ber 20th. Chief Weeks searched the premises
and captured five pint flasks of whiskey and j
several empty bottles. The arrest was made
directly after the purchase of a flask of |
whiskey by Dave Winn, colored, who was
sent by Chief Weeks to make purchase so
that a complete case would be made out.
Wheeler was tried before Council on
Tuesday morning, convicted and sentenced
to pay a fine of $20 or to be imprisoned for
thirty days. On the charge of violating the
dispensary iaw, Wheeler was tried by Trial
Justice Manning and convicted. He was
sentenced to pay a fine of $20 or to be
imprisoned thirty days. ?
Both Chief Weeks and Policeman C. P.
Barwick testified that they had taken drinks
with Wheeler in bis place, and this testimony,
in addition to the fact of the purchase of
the liquor by Dave Winn, made conviction
certain.
This case seems to settle the fact that
the police force of Sumter will actively
assist in the enforcement of the dispensary
law.
In view of tbe fact that the State author?
ities had also takeu up the matter as above
stated, the Mayor subsequently reduced
Wheeler's fine to $10, which be then paid.
The State case was then taken upon appeal
to the Court of General Session on a legal
question raised by his counsel Mr. Edwards,
bond given for his appearance and Wheeler
released.
