WINSTON, N. G, OoropER 5 "A re-
markable Instance Of the benefit of faith
and prayer occurred on Friday at Mur's
chapel camp. meeting. The wife of Samuel
II. Taylor, who lives near Now Garden, in
his county, has been IN invalid for two
years, part of the timo unable to walk at al, ,
and for long time compelled TO 60 with
crutches Friday she went to tho meeting
aud desired the prayers Of the church that
she might regain the use of her limbs, aud
said she would not leave the church until
the prayer was granted When the recess
for dinner was taken shc refused to leave
the house, but remained and passed tho
hour in worship. Captain r.. p. Troy, who
is noted as rcvivalist, made un earnest
appeal in prayer for Mrs. Taylor. When
the bcnedictiou was pronounced at S p, m.
she arose with the congregation and walked
as well as she ever did.
Some of the Radical papers in the North
have sent men down to Lancaster, S. G., 10
work up tho recent riot for tho purpose Of

draw into liuo again rebcllioas Republicans,
and they hope by flying the bloody skirt
to rally the party as of Old Charlotte
Observer.
1t is said that alcohol equal to that
mado from grain can bo produced from
ncorns. The acorns are freed from tho

mashed with malt and allowed to ferment.
Acorns contain about 20 per cent. of starch
and Is per cent. of gluten. They would
be valuable article for human food if it
were not for the tannic acid (about per
cent. shioh they contain. Vast quantities
which go to waste every year, whore hogs
are not fed in the woods, might be gathered
IY boys and converted into alcohol for use
IN the arts, thus freeing an equivalent
amount Of grain for use Us food.

Tho abcst negro newspaper in the coun-
try is bold enough to advise the negro
voters in the South to vote the Democratic
ticket. This is shocking TO contemplate,
and doubtless the Radi ,al press and states
men think it should bo mado q penul
offence.
A New York Judge has ruled that if a
marriage does not tako place within year
after the proposal the engagement is not
obligatory. A wise decision. Ono year is
long enough to burn tho old mans wood
and OIL
A man with fcon on his hand is en-.
titled to sympathy. How much moro the
keeper of tho State Prison, who has great
many?
"You do not appear to be very busy OF

A true Democrat tries to purify his
party, that it may be worthy of success
and reap it. A false Democrat tries to
destroy it, if it fails to give him Office. - TEL
