The City Council failed to meet last week, there being no quorum at the hour for the meeting, only two alder? men being present. There axe still a few packages of government seed on hand for distri? bution, and those who have not ob? tained a package should call at once if they desire any of these seed. The i Lee county prisoners, two * white men and four negroes, who have been confined in the jail .here, were transferred to Bishopville on Friday, the Lee county jail having been roompleted. The strike of the section masters and trackmen of the Atlantic Coast Line has not developed any new features.

Dr. McLees, the evangelist of the Synod of South Carolina, preached in the Presbyterian church Sunday at both the morning and evening ser? vices. Large congregations were present at both services and the meet? ing, which * will continue throughout the * week, began with evidences of unusual interest. Dr. McLees' ser? mons " Sunday were eloquent and deeply spiritual presentations of the Gospel and made a deep impression upon his hearers. Services will be held at 4 and 8" o'clock p. m. daily. Mr. E. F. Miller has preferred charges before the City Board of Ed? ucation that-the work on the new High Schcol building is being im? properly done and requesting that an' investigation be made and a disinter? ested Architect be employed to make a thorough and searching investiga? tion before the building is accepted. The charges are made and specific de? fects in the work pointed out in a com? munication filed with the secretary of the board. Accompanying the communication of Mr. Miller is a re? quest, signed by a number cf citizens, that the investigation asked by Mr. Miller be granted. ? meeting of the board was called to consider the charges and to take action thereon. Congressman Lever has not giveu up the fight for an additional carrier for the mail force in this city, and the adverse report of the agent who made an inspection cf the city some few weeks ago has by no means discouraged him. On Monday he called at the pestofnee department and armed with statistics argued for an additional carrier. The matter is now nuder consideration in the department and the probability is that the case will be reopened, and another inspection of the city made with a view of increas? ing the carrier force. Mr. Lever finds the magnificent array of statistics, prepared for him by the committee to be of use in his efforts to secure a Federal building for the city, of great value to him, not only in carrying out the purpose for which they were col? lected, but in demonstrating to the post?nica oficiala the fact that Samter is one of the livest towns in South Carolina, and is destined to be one of ita largest cities. MARRIED. On Thursday, Feb. ll, at 8 p. m., at the residence of the bride's mother, by Rev. John C. Bai lev, Jr., Mr. Robert C. Kember*, nf Dalzell. S C., and Miss Anni* R. Doby, daughter of Mrs. Mattie Dob*. A Change in Thc Law. Dr. Colyer delivered a sermon at the Church of Christ Sunday morn? ing on, "For the priesthood being changed, there is made cf necessity a change in the law. (Heb. 7:12.) It ? bas been said that the Church of | Christ does not believe in the Old Testament which is a mistake. The Old Testament or law had its place, "and was the schoolmaster to bring ns to Christ." The plan of salvation cannot be found in the Old Testament, "for it was only a shadow of things to come," for it was not possible for the blood of bulls and of goats tb take away sins. (Heb. 10th Chapter. ) The dol covenant was made with Abraham, and was for Abraham and his seed, and those bought with his money, but the new law or covenant was written on the minds, and in the hearts, and is intended for every man. 'For if that first covenant ha" been faultless,, then should have no > ce been sought for the second," '.b. 8th Chapter. ) J3r*And for this cause he is the me-, diator of the New Testament," for J where a testament is there must of necessity be the death of the testator, for a testament is of force after men are dead." (Heb. 9fch Chapter, j We 866 that the law of pardon from sins through the blood of Jesus was not proclaimed until after the death of the Saviorj and that by the law that went from Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost. "For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. (Isaiah 2: 2.) Hence we see that the thief on the cross was saved under the old law, different from the law by which we are saved." "He taketh away the first that he might establish the second." (Heb. 30:9.) "Blotting out the hand? writing of ordinaries that was against us, and took it out of the way, nail? ing it to his cross. " (Col. 2: 14.) It was np wonder that there was 3,000 souls added to the Lord on the day of Pentecost, when the ;law of pardon was proclaimed through Peter by the Holy Ghost Prof. George McCutchen. of the S. C. College visited his brother, Dr. W. L. McCutchen yesterday and while here spent some time in the different rcoms of the Graded School. He ex? presses himself in no undecided terms as being highly pleased. We know that our school has now an enviable reputation over the State and that Supt Edmunds wields an influence cf weight with bis co-educators, but these expressions of Prof. McCutchen are ery gratifying as he has had wide ex? perience in Graded School work, hence knows a good thing when he' sees it. Gospel Meeting Close?. The gospel meeting at the Church of Christ closed on Monday night, although a large audience was present, but on account of the meeting com? mencing at the Presbyterian church, which had been announced for some time, Dr. Colyer closed the meeting, because he did not want to run in opposition to them. - lill - .??- ?

The circumstances attending the sad accident are not known, ns no one was near the child at the time, but the supposition is that he climbed into the window by means of a chair which had been placed nearby. The window is about thirty-five feet i rom the street, and the little fellow fell upon the stone pavement of Taylor street, fracturing his skull and died as a re? sult of the injuries. - - - ?< ?-m ? -i J II ? - We have a new, fresh stock' cloth bound books, the regular 25 cent edi? tion, which we are selling at 15 cents.

The Fatal Injury of Walter Ryttenber? by a Runaway Horse. Daily Item, Feb. 16. Walter Ryttenberg, who was so seri? ously injured yesterday aternoon, has never gained consciousness and only his unusual strength and vitality has kept him alive. He was taken to Dr. Mood's Infirmary shortly after the ac? cident and while an examination re? vealed at once that his injuries were so serious that they could but result fatally, everything possible was done to make him comfortable. He may linger a few hours longer, but his life hangs by a thread and the end may come at any moment. The accident occurred on West Lib? erty street a short distance west of the Catholic Church, and was witness? ed by several persons living in that vicinity. Mr. D. L. Rambo, one of the unfortunate boy's teachers, was one of those who witnessed the acci? dent and was the first to reach him. Mr. Rambo says that the horse was running away and wasl entirey un? manageable when his attention was first attracted. -Just at the point of the accident the horse bolted sudden? ly out of the street on the sidewalk and Walter was thrown headlong against an oak tree with terrific force. His forehead was crushed by the ter? rible impact, ' and when assistance reached him he was lying limp and unconscious 'on the ground at the foot of the tree and bleeding profusely from the wounds in his head. As soon as a wagon could be pro? cured he was removed to his mother's home only a short distance away and was taken thence to Dr. Moods' In? firmary. I Whatjfrightened the horRe and caus? ed it to runaway has pot been learn? ed, but it is said that a flock of chickens in the street caused it to bolt. Walter was riding without a saddle, otherwise he would probably not have been thrown as he was accus? tomed to riding and rode well. The accident was an indescribable shock to the entire community and everyone sympathizes with his mother and other members the family iu their sudden and terrible affliction. Later-At 4.30 p. m., Walter Rytten? berg . partially regained consciousness, spoke to Dr. Mood, calling him by name and was able to be raised up in bed and drank a glass of milk. Columbia, Feb. 16.-The Rev. Churchill Satterlee, rector of Trinity Episcopal Church, died early this morning near Augusta, Ga., after an illness of some length. PROCLAMATION.
