BIBLE SOCIETY MEETISG.-On Sabbath
night the Newberry District Bible Society
held its annual meeting 10 the Methodist
Church. 4 large and appreciatiye audience
were In attendance. The address by the
Rev. Thompson Sloan, Of Abbcville, was
replete with information, and chaste and
eloquent rhetorical effort. His reference to
the agency of the press, especially the
steam printing press, in spreading the
Bible abroad, was very elegant. Many acces-
sions to the Secretary's roll o! membership
we're made on this interesting occasion, and
q respectable amount added to the TreasurerS,
fund A unanimous vote was given in the
reelection Of the old officers, viz: Col. R.
Moorman, president, Rev. R. A. Mickle, vice
president, and Mr.. J. A. Chapman Secretary
and Treasurer. As the minutes of the meeting
will be published in our next issue, doubt
less, We will make no further mention Of the
proceedings.

spare no pains to give the greatest amount
Of satisfaction in their power.
One more small paragraph and veil stop
Some time ago Mr.. C. F. jackson, dry goods
man, very pleasantly presented US with II
neat crdvat, OF which due notice was made,
and thanks returned. Souc folks thought
tou much was said about that cravat. We
asked Mr. J, what he thought about it.
Well, said he, it WIS the neatest thing I
ever s,s. you: local hits are elegant, aid
to show nv appreciation, please do me the
honor to select another from among tho
best. We Li'! 50. and We stand to day ar
raycd in it, and all but the envious admit
that it adds 80 per cent. to III. editors ap-
pearance. We like Jackson, and we intend
TO introduce him to amt Betsy, ard if we
ever get any more duck eggs and hatch
them he shall have one.
And that reminds us that just one more
paragraph must be added, for there is an
other Jackson, Dr.. Z. E., formerly Of New
berry. How he did lunch u.s. He is 4 nice
fellow, and his crackers and sardiaes were
ditto. Dr.. j. does nice business TOO, and
deserves it, for he is one Of the most oblig.
ing Of Druggists and thoroughly practical.
He is considerable Of an amateur vegeta-
bleist also, and goes in for big Thug AS veil
rs good, and rot selfish either, as can be
proved by his giving us half dozen toma-
to plants Of huge variety, which, if we are
successful with, shall be heard from this
summer. Long life to Dr.. F..
Talking about cravats and tomatoes re-
minds Us that there is another wee remark
to be made, and all about Sulzbacher. He
is desperate on knives, and thinks no more
of kuiving an editor than he does Of taking
piece Of Sweitzer cheese. He is always
at it, except when selling some Of his beau
tiful jewelry and silver ware, of which he
keeps superb stock. And now We are alb
solutely done.

CISES. The theory that the riru. Of dis.
ease can be safely couuteractcd by doses Of
poison, il false and dangerous. Within the
last twenty-five years, not less than score
Of virulent poi<ons have been added to the
repository Of the medical profession. They
are given in small doses, otherwise they
would destroy life Immediately; but even in
minute quantities, they produce, ultimately,
very disastrous effects. 1t is unwise ard
unphilosophical to employ, as remedies,
powerful and insidious drugs, which, in
snhjssatins one disease, SOW the seeds Of
another still more unlnanaScable. None Of
these terrible medicamerts operates with as
much dircctness and certainty upon the
Causes of disease as Hostcttcr's Stom-

without a single dcle,crious ingredient in
its composition. Arsenic and Qninia are
given for intermittents bromide Of potss-

A Splendid opportunity--shall we take it!


We have time and again urged the
necessity and importance of a fire en-.
gine for this town, and we would be
derelict in duty, did We not again make
an effort in this direction. The time
may have been when such a want was
not felt, and when it Was inprsc,icable,
but not now. The increase in popula.
ton, and business, and the increased
value Of real estate, together with the
increased liabilities Cor 6re, which need
not be mentioned here, make it neecs.
sary that some means Of protection be
had. More than a majority Of the towns
of the Stale are prepared in this way,
and VIC very much donbt If there IS an
other town which ranks IN business rrn-
portance with Ncwbery, nor one where
property is so highly valued, and yet we
are without any facility whatever to
fight fire, and are liable to have our
business places laid in ashes at any mo-
mrnt, without the power to afford :!e
aid which is so near at han6 On re-
cent visit to Columbia, We were told By
al officer Of the Independent Company,
that thirteen hundred dollars would buy
the large f ,eine formerly used hy that
Company, with the addition Of three
hundred feet Of Hose, and thxt it would
be put in apple pie order. This is less
than Il third Of its original cost, and
when ii is stated thst the engine is.
good one, and one which has borne away
prize after prize, for capacity and power
Of throwing water, and is sold for no
fault, except to make room for steamer,
it will at once b. seen that such a chance
will no: soon present itself again. Viii
our citizens accep! this chance? How
soon that amoun. could be raised by in
diyilual subscription, not taking into
consideration the aid which the Council
can afford, and will give, to further so
necessary an end. The objections urged
against 4 fire company for this town,
namely, that there is no water, is simply
absurd. Four wells within reach Of the
business squares could be easily dug,
and Of such size as would afford all the
water necessary. And there is not an
other WILL in the town which will not
afford water sufficient to put fire out,
should it occur in q private residence
distant from the main wells. That rea-
son will no! do. We should have a Ere
ergine. The money can be readily
raised, and We have young men enough
to work one in splendid style, and just
such material as will take a pride in
running with the machine. What say
the cilizens? what says the Council ?
Shall meeting be at once held or will
some gentleman take round subscrip.
ton list, and at once sec if the amount
cannot be raised? And it should be
done quickly, for the Independents will
not have the engine now offered very
long on hand.
Since the above vas put in type, we
are pleased 70 learn that number Of
our ci'izcns have formed an organiza-
ZION and appointed committee to Con-.
slider the ways and means Of establishing
an e.T1irient fire department.
