Bethel Presbytery.
-- At the recent meeting of Bethel Pres.
bytery, call was read from Clover church,
in York county, for Rev. w. W. Moore, OF
Mecklenburg Presbytery, promising $500 for
the whole of his time. The session of Clover
church was authorized to prosecute the call
before Mecklenburg Presbytery.
Owing to the fact that Rev. James E.
White, of Chester, had renounced the author.
ity of the Presbyterian church in the United
States, by connecting himself as a private
member with the Associate Reformed Presby-
terian church, his name was stricken from
the roll and the clerk directed to give notice
to the A. R. P. Church at Chester, that Rev.
James E. White was under suspension at the
time he joined said church.
The next meeting of Bethel Presbytery
will be held at Fort Mill, on Friday before
the full moon in April, 1882.
The Atlanta Gotten Exposition.
-- All accounts agree in representing the
Atlanta exposition as an assured success. 1t
is claimed that in point Of magnitude it will
be the most extensive exhibition in the United
States since the Centennial exhibition at
Philadelphia, in 1876. Products of the skill
and industry of all sections of the Union are
pouring in for exhibition, and the shops and
manufactures of the North and West will
be equally represented with productions Of
the South. 1t will, indeed, be grand exhib
it Of the industry and resources of the Ma.
ton, and besides the good results to be ac
complished in many other ways, will have
the effect of bringing more prominently to
the notice of others the latent wealth and
capabilities of the Southern States. One OF
the most attractive departments is said to be
the exhibit Of woods, minerals, field produc-
tions, manufactured articles, &C., presented
by the Richmond and Danville Railroad,
from the immediate section through which
the road runs.
Visitors contemplating trip to Atlanta
during the exposition, need be in no great
hurry, as it is understood that the exposition
buildings will hardly be completed before
the first of next month, and consequently the
display would be- unsatisfactory before that
time.
The fear of extortionate charges by hotel
and boarding house keepers has been some
what allayed, by assurances that visitors will
not be charged prices unduly greater than
prevailing rates at ordinary times.
The Mississippi Canvass.
The State canvass in Mississippi Is
progressing, the gubernatorial candidates be-
ing Gen. Lowry, Democrat, and Col. King,
Independent Conservative. The candidates
spoke at Forest City on the 18th, which oc'
casion drew an immense audience, mostly
white, among whom were many ladies, who
listened to the discussion with unAagging in
terest. The opening speech was made by
Colonel King, who was introduced by Judge
LYLE, Democrat. He commenced his re
marks by defining his position as Conserva.
tive, and said if elected to the office of Gov
ernor, he would uss the whole powers of the
Executive office t. secure to the people of the
State the inestimable boon of free ballot
and fair count. The people of the State,
he charged, were proscriptive that they de-
MED to all those who were opposed to the
Democratic party the right to free expires
sion of their political views; that this intol.
erance had driven capital and immigration
from the State, and that until we mended
our manners we need not look for return OF
prosperity.
Gen. Lowry saen replied to Col. King.
AS he ascended the platform the cheers which
ascended from thousand throats shook the
building from foundation to turret.
When quiet was restored, the General was
introduced by Judge Lyle, and opened his
speech by reference to the peculiar position
occupied by King. For the first time in the
history of Mississippi, man now presents
himself for the high position of Governor
without either platform or party, and who
desires change of government without Civ
ing single reason therefor. There was no
political organization in the State known as
the Conservative, and as King had frequently
disclaimed belonging to either of the parties
which nominated him, he must be regarded
either as an orphan or political illegitimate.
