The members Of Wade Hampton Fire Co., No.
!, of this town are making rapid progress in
working their machine. They parade for prac
tics every Saturday afternoon and with their
bright red shirts make good display Their
little engine is n fine machine and throws water
equal to some larger machines that we have
seen. The Town Council have very prudenty
purchased an iron tank and placed it upon the
running works Of stout wagon. The tank is
kept full of water, ready for action at any time,
so that if fire should occur beyond the reach
of the csterns, il will go with the engine and
supply it with water. Its capacity is 400 gallons
Last Saturday the Company tested the power of
the engine and the time it would require to
empty the tank, and from calculation it will
empty it in 1OI minutes, steady pumping.
Next week We shall give the names of all who
have been elected officers OF the Fire depart
mcnt and Company.

SIERRA LEONE, WEST COAST OF AFRICA, May
10, via Madeira, Saturday, June 15.--Thc Azor
o, rived here to-day. For too many OF the hopcS
fu immigrants who sailed from Charleston oil
Easter Sunday, the voyage has been disastrous.
Indeed, at one time there reason to fear
that the Azor would be nothing less than float
ing charnel house.
The first days of the voyage were wholly unc-
ventful. Capt. Holmes organized a police force.
and required every part of the vessel to be kept
clean. There was no grumblng at this. The
submission and dociity of the cmigrans can
no. be too highly praised. Soon, however, the
need of an experienced physician began TO be
! felt. Even before the Azor sailed, measles had
made its appearance, and this malady spread
rapidly. This was not so bad however, as the
ship fever, caused by the close confinement be-
tween decks, the scanty accommodation and,
| above all, by the want of water. The sufferings
of the immigrants were intense. They had not
| been accustomed to pratice selfdenial and soon
| exhausted the limited daily supply of water

An Excursion to Tryon.

we see Oy the HphrtanourS papers tnat MT.
J. L. Cannen will run an excursion train over
the Spartanburg Union and Columbia Railroad,
from Tryon City to Union, on Saturday, the 9th
of July. Only so cents will be charged for thc
round trip.
We cannot help thinking that the getters up
of the excursion, if they really desired to be
courteous to the people Of Union, who have as
great financial interest in the nc,o road as any
other people, would have requested the announce
mcnt to be made through their County paper.
Railroad Moeting.
The corporators of the Union, GaiInOy City

1t is said that the people Of Rutherford are
determined to have railroad down this way,
and have large sum already subscribed and paid
In for that purpose. 1t will depend upon this
meeting, in part, whether they come this way,
or 60 to Spartanburg.
An ERroR.-In the account given in ycster
day paper of the .ftte the lady who won and so
modcstly wore the honors conferred upon her
by her numerous friends and admirers was an
nounccd as being native of Union. This was
an error The queen is q native of the good old
county Of Newberry, which ought TO be, and
doubtless is proud of its lovely daughter.
And that's another error, Mr.. Register Miss
Carrie p. Aughtry, sis naHvc of the good old
county of Union" She is the daughter of Mr..
Ben Aughtry, who removed from this county,
inst across tie imc-not far enough to change her
Maybnton, only few years ago
Union is so noted for her pretty, modest and in
tclligcnt young ladies, that any one might have
known that so pretty Queen as Miss Aughtry
came from "here or heareabouts. We are just
as proud Of the honor conferred on her as if she
now lived right among us.

The second day of the county Sunday
school convention opened at a. N. with

were employed in devotional exercises led
by Reverend Hart, Of Rock Island. Mrs.

lied from the convention, II. o. Sleight
acting as superintendent and several teach
ers being appointed over classes of ten or
dozen scholars. This exercise occupied
one hour and at the close the work was
criticized by Reys. g. E. Palmer and Z.
G. Barnard, and MIR. Osborne, of Rock Isl.
and, all of whom made pertinent and inter
esting remarks.
The committee on county Sunday
school work made its report, recommend
ing that no county. canvasser be employed
for the ensuing year, as has been in the
past two, for the reason that statistics are
now in hand sufficient to enable the society
to conduct the work without this aid and
thus save the expense The committee
heartily thanked Mr.. John Deere for ge
uerously bearing the expense of a canvas
ser the past two years and requested hin
to continue his contributions to other de
serving features of the cause. The repor
was received and laid on the table TO
further action.
A very interesting paper on the infu
ence of the Sunday school on commun
lism" was read last evening by Rev. E. C
Barnard, which the convention requeste,
to-day should be furnished the county pa
