The State Convention called by an Executive
Committee appointed in Atlanta last April, met
in Greonville on the 2lst and 22d of August.
About eighty delegates were present. Three
fourths Of the Counties were represented. Be-
fore the Convention met the doubters prophesied

with anxiety. knowing that failure at Green

The delegates Carried homo with them an earn

till the next needing of the Convention. DR..
James III. Carlisle VAS chosen President. That
in itself implied suaess. One of the objects of
the Convention is to organize the State in such
q way that we may lknow what the Sunday
School is doing, and What it has not done. II
is desirable that the Arcscnt schools be made
moro effective and thatfhc unoccuped territory
have schools establishcias soon as possible. 1t
is also the aim of the friends of the Convention
to make it 80 good, that hereafter there will be
no lack of delegates froI any County.
|: To complete the State drganization, it is neces
sary for each County to Jet up n County Conven-
ton at once. This is easily done, if three or
four earnest teachers will take the matter in

Schools Of the County. What Spartanburg has
done, Union can do. A few earnest men should
meet and alk the matter over in sensible,

ments to have one in April or May next, before
the meeting of the State Convention. Union
cannot affbrd to be behind the other Counties
in this matter. The Columns of the TIMES are
always open to Sunday School men and women,
and short -poinied paragraphs, bearing on this
nll-important work, arc solicited. If the Sun

will nominate an executive Committee ourselves

We would not thus break the privacy Of my
part of your nete to us if we had not heard 1t
said in other quarters that the TINES was con-
trollcd by certain parties in this town.
If you or any other person say. or insinuate,
that any other man than Il. NJ. Stokes has any
thing to do with the conduction of the TINES,
in any respect the assertion insinuation is ut
terly false No man in this town or County has
even so much as advised with us as to the course
tthe TINES should take and we say further that
during the whole course of our nine years con-
nection with this paper there has not appeared
in it's columns, as Editorial, more than two po-
litical articles that we did not write. In two
cases, when we were sick, somt years ago, we re.
quested gentleman to write aeticles upon GER
tain political questions, aad he did SO but he,
even, did not live in the tow of Union. We
care not one jot about men'G opinion Of our
ability, but when we are told jthat we write ai
the command or under the influence Of other
men we think our manhood is attacked and VIZ
dare resent it, because it is false. II there IL
one thing we can boast of itis that we do oul
own thinking and writing for the paper ant
if pretty good article should come from us oc

receiving credit for il.

duty to pay his tax.
We are told that our taxes arc increased by
our Railroad md County taxes. We have al
ways been opposed to our Railroad tax, as it
was levied, and we have sensible and good
reasons for our opposition, but it is too late to
discuss that subject now. Had we have had the
power, we would long ago haze scattered the
taxes with the bosom Of destruction. Let US
discuss our County taxes. We learn that our
County Taxes are increased for O special, sre-
cifc purpose, but unfortunately the funds paid
into the Treasurer's Office. fail to meet the do
manded emergency. And just here we hear In.
mentable cry indeed. We are informed that
portion Of the money paid for County purposes
was in the old State bills, when the farmer, per-
haps, invariably paid in legal tender. Who is
to blame for this oversight? Who is to be repri
manded for this Inconsistency in these pres;
sing and needy times, when we want our brid-
ges built and repaired, and when we would
gladly meet the various emergencies Of our
County. Who has helped the capitalist, the
moneyed man, the speculator, to reap q rich bar-
vest in disseminating fund in payment of tax
es that does not suit our pi esent purposes ?
Unwise, unmercifal, partial Disseminated.
Our treasury is depleted as II should not be,
and next year, perhaps, we will hear again of q
heavy County tax, which is subve-sve to demo
cratic principles, and we'll calculated to create
discomfort, dissatisfaction and wrangling among
the masses of tax payers. If q law has beer
made by the Legislature, or even sanctioned by
he Courts. that allows one tax pay er to take tht
advantage Of another, that allows certain per

GREAT LONGEVITY OF 4 HoRsE.-
At Rochester in this county there
died on the 18th of September the
oldest horse on record for a great
number of years. He was the property
of the famous Daniel Ct. Bell Of legal
as well as gold mine notoriety. He
was known by the name of Gumbo, and
in his day was noted stallion. Many
citizens of Kingston and of Ulster
county remember the animal as Il
splendid horse when they were boys.
AT the time of his death he had al
tanned the ripe age of Is years and 6
months. He retained a remarkable
vitality to the last, and for three quar-
tiers of an hour before his demise lac
stood upon his legs, proud and maies-
tic, as in his younger days. He had
long been the property of Bell, who
had driven him thousands of miles in
his life time, he having owned him a
period of q years and a half, since
he was IS years old. If anybody
can beat this, let MIN speak out

Mr.. Chas. Norton, who has been
engaged in mining on the Boise river
near the junction of the North and
Middle branches of the river, had a
very serious encounter with a bear
last Saturday morning, says the .States-
man. He had gone to the top of
steep hill and when near the summit
had taken hold of a small tree to
pull himself up SO as to reconno;tre
the valley beyond where he was ac-
customed to find deer, when a large
she bear that was lying with her two
cubs just on the other side of the
bush which concealed them, sprang
upon him, Selling him by the under
jaw and tearing the lower lip down,
making an ugly wound. The front
of the upper jaw bone was also frac-
tured just above the teeth, six of
which were loosened and hung down
with the fractured and detached por-
ton of the jaw. Another fierce bite
of the enraged animal lacerated the
cheek and tore the scalp in several
places. The right arm was also bitten
through. In the scuffle Norton and
the bear both lost their equilibrium
near the top Of the hill and together
rolled down the steep hillside, dis
lance Of forty feet. Upon reaching
the bottom they We're about six feet
apart when Norton's dog was heard
barking at the top of the hill where
the cubs had been left This attracted
the attention of the bear, when Nor
ton, who had his gun strapped to him
all the time, managed to direct the
muzzle against the rear portion of the
brute and reaching back cooked the
piece and fired it. The ball passed
lengthwise through the body of the
animal and through the head, killing
her instantly

LIGHTS AND SHADOWS.

Into each life some rain must fall,
Into all eyessome tear drops start
Whether they fall as gentle shower.
Or drop, like FIRE, from an aching heart.
Into all hearts some sorrow must creep,
Into all souls some doubtings come,
Lashing the waves of life's great deep
From dinplipg waters to seething foam'
Over all pathways some clouds must lower
Under all feet some sharp thorns spring
Tearing the flesh to bleeding wounds,
Or entering the heart with their bitter
sting.
Upon all brows rough winds must blow,
Over all shoulders cross be lain,
Bowing the form in its lofty height
Down to the dust in bitter pain.
Into all hands is some duty thrust,
Unto all arms some duty given,
Crushing the heart with its dreary weight
Or lifting the soul from earth to heaven
Into all hearts and homes and lives
Gods dear sunshine comes streaming
down,
Gliding the ruins Of life's great plain
Weaving for all the. golden crown.

How Farmers Lose Money.

Keeping no account of farm op-
erations, paying no attention to the
maxim that "a stitch in time saves
nine: in regard to sowing grain and
planting seed at the proper time.
Leaving reapers. plows,. cultivat"
ors, etc., unsbeltered from the rain
and the heat of the sun. More
money is lost in this way annually
than most persons would be willing
to believe.
Permitting broken implements to
be scattered over the farm until they
are isseparable. By repairing bro>
ken implements at the proper time
many dollars may be saved-a proof
of the assertion that time is money
Attending auction sales and pur-
chasing all kind of trumpery, be"
cause; in the words of the vendor,
the goods are cheap.
Allowing fences to remain unre.
paired until strange cattle are found
grazing in the meadow, grain fields,
or browsing OH the fruit trees.
Disbelieving the principle of ro.
tatioa Of crops, before making a sim
gle experiment.
Planting fruit trees without Civ
ing them half the attention required
to make them profitable.
