Newberry Circuit.

The last Quarterly Meeting of New
berry Circuit IN. E. Church, South
is appointed to be held at Mt. Pleasant
Church Oct. 29-29. This is next to
the most important meeting of the
officials Of the Circuit. It is impor-
taut that every officer preacher
itineraut and local-Class Leaders,
Stewards, Trustees, Sunday School
Superintendents and Church Secreta-
ries) be in his place 10 the Confer
euce Oct. 28th. Each officer will be
expected to give an account of his Off
eial acts during the year. The Trus-
tees will be expected to give written
report of the pro ierty in their charge.
The Stewards are urged to exert then
selves that they may report their
churches paid out in full. Let each
one determine that there shall be no
necessity for 18th Quarterly Meet
ing." But little has been done for
the support of the church during the
year. There was good reason for
this, but as the reason has been re-
moved (ths Lord has blessed our fields
abundantly) let every member of the
church second the efforts of the Stew
ards, and pay to them promptly and
in full, and without waiting to be
called upon, bis and her part of the
assessments. Honor the Lord With
thy substance, and with the first fruits
of all thine increase; 50 shall thy
barns be filed with plenty, and thy
presses shall burst out With new wine"
We expect to be favored with the
services of Prof. W. ". Duncan, ID,
on the occasion of the Quarterly
Meeting. A. J. STOKES,
Preacher-in-Charge.

What's in 8 Title ?

Titles have so degenerated that
they have almost ceased to be de-
sirable. Nearly half the people in
the country are Colonels. The de-
gree Of Doctor of Divinity was once
considered very high one, and was
held only by those who stood in
the front rank among ministers ;
but Of late years it has been con.
ferred indiscriminstely and promis-
cuously, until now it means nothing,
and D. D. is often attached to the
name of a very ordinary individual.
As for professor" that title be.
longs to everybody who trains
horses, cures CONS, runs a skating
rink or a boys school, or does any
thing else that is out of the usual
line Of business. The title of Hon,
as applied to members Of the Gene
raj Assembly or Of Congress, was
once coveted; but when it is Hon.
Robert Smalls as well IS Hon. D.
Wyatt Aiken, where is the distinc
tion I?
The best title for any man is
plain Mr..
Titles for things is about as COM
mon as titles for men. One.horse
towns are now cities; schools with
more than one teacher are "Col,
leges;" and a State institution of g
lower grade than first class college
is 8 "Uniyersity."

A Bloody Riot in Lancaster.
Four Negroes Killed.
Special Dispatch to the News and Courier.

Special Dispatch to the News and Courier.
LANCASTER, September 28.-A po-
litical meeting here yesterday was ad.
dressed by Col. Cash. About the
close Of the meeting a difficulty arose
at the stand between white Demo
crat and a colored man. which re-
suited 10 the former being wounded in
the head by a blow with stick or
stone. At this time two or three pis
tol shots were fred near the stand,
but no one was hurt. Soon after this
a large procession of colored persons
90 horseback came upon the streets.
One of the number, having a large
pistol buckled around his body, drew
it and pointed it at white man and
said: There's the id rascal who
did the shooting The white man
gave him the lie, and the colored man
fred at him Immediately. Several
shots were fred by white uen and the
colored man fell dead. A nuuber of
shots were then fred by white and
colored nen and three other colored
men were killed aud many wounded.
The authorities soon succeeded in re-
storing quiet, which now prevails. 1t
is hoped and believed that the trou
bic ia over. The above statement is
made upon information Of a reliable
person, aud is believed to be substan-
italy correct. E.B.
LANCASTER, September 2S.-The
riot of yesterday originated thus
Col. Cash, after very turbulent and
noisy procession through the streets,
vas addressing a crowd of about 700
negroes. Mr.. Carter, editor of the
Ledger, had taken his position Oh the
stand as reporter for his paper and
Cash was profuse in bis abuse of the
Legislature and charged that the
planters and farmers were, cheating
the negroes out Of their earnSpgs.
The negroes we're drinking at the
stand aud we're wrought up to a high
pitch. Cash it is said, would turn
around to Carter and make repeated
remarks that he, although be would
not vote for hin, was his sympathi-
ger. Carter then asked Cash to allow
him to reply. Cash said certainly,
and remarked that be should have
respectful hearing. Carter attempted
to reply. but the negroes would not
hear him. Cash asked them to be
quiet, but it did DO good, and Garter
and the negroes getting iuto wran-
gle, Cash left the stand and went di
rect to his room at the hotel. The
negroes were drinking and they had a
jug of #hiskey near the stand.
Carter being promised both BY
Cash and the county chairman re-
ply still tried to speak, but the ue-
groes crowded so upon the stand that
the stand broke down. Thereby be.
ing greatly iufuriated the crowd took
hold of Carter and dragged him of
the stand, and be would have been
killed bad it not been for Albert
Clinton aud Ed. Saddler and others.

COUNTY TICKET.
The Agricultural and Mechan-
ical Association.

It is gratifying to be able to state
that the effort to form a joint stock
company in the interest Of agricul-
ture and mechanics has resulted in
success. All the stock has been
taken, the officers have been chosen,
and the date of the first County
Fair under the new regime has been
fixed. The officers are men Of en-
terprise and business capacity, and
they will bring to the work the ben
eft of considerable experience in
such matters. They will profit by
the mistakes that made the late ag
ricultural society a failure, and will
adopt whatever good features it
possessed. The Fair this year will
not come off as early as would be
desirable; but it is as early as prac-
ticable. It may, however, prove to
be the very best time. Then the
political campaign, with it's excite
ment and distraction, will be over,
and the only probable drawback is
wet weather-and that may not in
terfere.
Now, that it is decided to have a
Fair, every citizen of the County
should exert himself to make it a
complete success. The means for
doing this are abundant, and it only
needs that the farmers, the mechan-
les, and the !'balance of mankind"
should take proper interest in the
matter.
The shares are to be paid in by
the 20th of the present month.

For THE HERl
The Comet.

MEssRs. EDITORS: The comet, of
which there has been notice 10 the
prints. as seen from this point this
morning in the eastern heavens, pre-
sented grand and inspiring prospect.
This truly long-haired star and ecceu-
trio member Of our solar system, ap-
peared upon the horizon near the point
where the sun rises, about two hours
before his splendid majesty made his
appearance, and faded to the right as
the suns more brilliant rays ilIuuiued
the portion of the sphere We iuha5it.
The nucleus Of the heavenly visitor
was large and brilliant, in size about
equal to the planet Veuus-the coma,
or envelope, being of such degree of
transparency, or so family obscuring
the nucleus, as to admit of the greater
brilllancy. The tail rose or stood
upward from the nucleus, nearly in
perpendicular position toward the
zenith, and spread itself IN proportions
of symmetry not unlike the tail of the
peacock when that beautiful bird
stands quietly on his feet, and reach.
ing up, to the measurement Of the eye,
some twenty or thirty yards. The
movement of the body seemed to be
uortbWard and toward the sun. The
orbit of this body is likely an extended
Que, approaching near the sun in its
perihelion, and receding to a very
great distance from it 10 its aphelion.
1t may still be visible. Messrs. Editors,
when your issue of the present week
makes its appearance; aud if so your
good readers who admire these glorious
and wonderful manifestations of the
power and Wisdom of the God who
made US will be repaid for leaving
their beds ear = euough in the uorn-
