CONVENTION AT PADGETT'S Oa the event of the maetiug of th County Baptist Sunday School Con vention with the Padgett's Creel church, the last of April, I availet myself of the opportunity to attend and to visit that good placo to visit It is next to needless to go over tin whole ground, Binging ttie praises o Cross Keys it has been brforo "th< public before.

Why one could not help feeliug the inspiration from meeting with those people, they all seemed to be in the best of spirits and looking on the bright bide of the picture. A gocdly number leit the cares of business behind, and were out at the church three days to benefit, and tc be benefited. Yes, this is a goo I country, in habited by the best of people who art prosperous, up-to date in everything pertaining to farming and everything else in the various occupations of life over there. They cau give you a warm c'.asp of tho hand on meeting that speaks welcome. They know ho v, at Padgctt'd Creek, to mate a good convention. The last one was one tf the most instructive and did much for missions, though not largely represented by schools, there being over thiitv.three dollars sent up and collected on Sunday. Rev. D. C. Freeman preached tho missionary sermon from Act. 13:2 aud he held the alleution of the congre^atioo throughout, who thcu gavo $18 or more for 6tato and foreign mission--. Dr. Lee Davis L>dge, president of ftvinftr T.imo?tnn? una llirrn and took part in the discussions. Friday night he addressed iho convention on education, and it was a grand address which I wish more could have Leard. Is his discour^o ho spoke of the still brighter future of the fcioutb, because among some things in the South the best English is spoken, the truest Americans are here, the purest Democrats, the mott loyal to the Declaration of Independence aud Constitution, the present Theology is taught, etc , and that the safety of <hs R ipublic depended on the South.

This committee holds for one year, and their business is to get up a.d arrange subjects for discussions at the meetings. This convention is d .ing much good and the members are desirous of increasing the interest in it, so a committee of three was selected to work up a greater interest. The committee is omposed of D. N. Wil* burn, D. C. Freeman and L. M. R'ce. The next meeting will be held with Mr. J?y churc\ Kelton, an I wo are assured of a hearty welcome. Many of us are acquainted with Ivelton aud know the convention will be greeted with a good audience. Thev want do things by halves. The weather was all that one could wish, temporaturo temperate, and everything combined it seemed to call every action into power aid strike sparks out of the dullest.

DUNCAN S I.ETTUH TO ' Till t t?0\ EHNOH. 1 Ilia Excellency, Gov. M. 1>. Mc? Sweeney, Columbia, S. C. : Dear Sir: I dislike very much to impose Opon your valuable time by * ? * ii-ici rmii 10 manors connccteu witu 3 the way in which vaccination has been conducted in connection with I the Union Cotton Mills, of which 1 , am in charge. , The circumstances connected with . the vaccination arc as follows: The t board of health of the town of Union t issued an order requiring all of the i citizens of the town to be vaccinated. 1 In carrying out this order in the , town proper, that is, that part of the > town not embracing the factory vil? > lage, vaccination was done with 1 order and decorum, that is to say, ? the various doctors carried on vaccination in the different wards without any special friction or resort to force. When the doctors in charge of vaccination on the mill hill, orthatscction of the town where is located the Union Cotton Mills, started out to vaccinate, each doctor carried with him a constable, and the result was great trouble and confusion. This stiite of affairs continued for the greater part of the past week, but on Saturday afternoon the culminating climax was reached when a constable, without any warrant or authority of any description, broke into the house of a widow woman, whose children all work in the Union Cotton Mills, arrested her, and ca-ricd her to jail. The same constables together with a doctor entered the houses of other factory operatives to search for parties for whom they had no warrant either for parties themselves, or to search the premises. You have no idea of the great confusion and chao3 that was created by such unlawful proceedings. We have always been law-abiding. and our past reputation both as a citizen, and as one in charge of a j corporation establishes our position ' in this respect beyond question. Thcro have bsen only a few cases of small pox in our will village, and ! nothing whatever on the orJer oi art j epidemic. We think fully two thirds j of our operatives have been vacci- | nated, and they are all willing to bo 1 vaccinated if approached upon the propfr lines. W!p are glad to see that you read our circular sent you by the chairman of the beard of health, for from its contents you will readily see our i position is clear and unmistakable in | so far as the necessity for vaccination I is concerned, and also a desire to have the people under my management and control vaccinated. The statements made in the telegram sent you by Dr. Torrencc arc without foundation in fact. There lias never been an armed mob on factory hill, and I myself have never in any way attempted either directly or indirectly ' to interfere with the vaccination ofj tue people under my management i and control; on the contrary 1 have in season and out of season done all within my power to have them vaccinated, and I can produce affidavits lVom the entire mill population together with an ovei whelming majority of the town population that my position in the matte r of vaccination is as I havo above stated it, and cannot be controverted. The town authorities are ready at any time, when called upon, to issue warrants to the board of health for parties whom they desire arrested. The exchequer of the town is adequate to meet all expenses required for carrying out j vaccination, so we trust that before taking any action along the lines in-1 THIS On the first day of Marc cash basis, which will enable u I 1 -1 i v.oiiu. ?? u nave airsaay won i Cheaper Furniture than any ot We are Warriors in o have to be in a stir all the time live years has been a caution at cat-h over a credit system.
