ine lecture of Rev. 9r. DuBose in the
Presbyterian church Fr 'ay night on China
was indeed very interesting and instruct;ve
The picture he presents of the supcrst;t;or
and idolatry of the people is n dark one
Out ai'cr ten years of labor in China as a
missionary he is satisfied that it is not i'm.
possible to introduce new religion into
.he country He is pleasant speaker and
held the closest attention of his aul;o,oo

goes and he is now making a tour of the
State, we believe, he ncy er fails to awaken
new interest in China missions.

taininent will be given in the Masonic Hall

money for the purpose of fitting up the

IN which all of our citizens are more or less
interested, and we hope the entertainment

Our subscribers at Townville and Fair
Play complain that they do not get their
papers until Saturday, whereas, by the
connection made o. Seneca by the trains
in the afternoon since the change in the
schedules they ought to get them ON Thurs
day. The mail for these points leaves here
wednesday afternoon and ought to reach
Westminster that evening, from which
place the mail for Townyi;ie and Fair Play
is sent out Thursday morning. We dc ne;
know why it is our papers are delnyed, but
shall endeavor to ASCERTAIN and have the
matter attended to. Some of the postal
officers are at fault. but exactly which one
we do not know.
