Newberry Conference.

This body met at Beth Eden Luther
an church, on Saturday morRing last.
The attendance of ministers and dele
gates was encouragingly large, and the
discussions were interesting. The
Rev. j. Q. Wertz. of Orangeburg, was
present as visiting member.
The negro problem provoked an
animated discussion which terminated
in the adoption of the followingresolu-
ton:
Resolred, That this Conference make
an effort to employ missionary to
labor among the colored population.
and that We do so with view to the
establishment of training school at
which we propose to educate selected
young men for the Lutheran ministry,
to labor among their brethren.
a resolution was adopted, recogniz-
ing the Southern Lutheran Publication
Society as a useful and necessary
organization, and pledging it the
hearty support Of Conference.
Instead of the usual Conference on
the fifth Sunday in September, q Sun
day-School Convention will be held at
Grace Church, Prosperity. The pro-
gram for the Convention will be pub
lished hereafter.
The Rev. J. E. Bushnell read well
prepared essay on ''Faith and Good
Works" -,
The subject of Bishop in the
Lutheran Church was discussed.
Sunday morning the church was
crowded, and an able sermon was
preached by the Rev. j. P. Smeltzer,
D. D., after which the holy sacrament
was administered. In the afternoon
Sunday-School addresses were deliver
ed by the Rev. j. E. Bushnell and Geo.
B. Cromer.
The large congregation was in good
spirits, and the meeting was agreeable;
much of the good feeling was doubt
less due to the rain that fell on Satur-
day.

Attempt to Burn the Newberry Hotel.

Yesterday morning between eleven
and twelve O'Clock an effort was made
TO burn the Newberry Hotel, which
was as bold us it was dastardly. The
fire was kindled in an ruloccupied dark
room, and its presence was made
known by the cracking OF the flames,
and the smoke gushing through the
transom Of the room into the passage.
When the room was entered pine box
and split-bottom chair, together with
a pine plank, were in flames. The
box contained the charred remains of
kindling. These articles and another
chair standing against the first, which
was almost consumed, were evidently
brought in by the villain who kindled
the fire, the room having been left
entirely vacant by the proprietor. The
room is easily accessible from the rear
of the Hotel and from the steps lead
ing up to the Neaos office. When the
fre>was discovered, Mr.. Chase, the pro-
prietor of the Hotel was absent, his
wife was sick, and the Hotel was COM
paratively deserted, most of our citi-
zens having been attracted to the rear of
the Court House, where the fire engine
was at work.
There is no doubt that this was a
fiendship attempt to add Newberry
Hotel to the list of buildings in ruins.
Messrs. Pool and Schumpert have
offered a reward Of two hundred dol
lars, and it is to be hoped that the
scoundrel will be apprehended.

Damaged by Hail.

On Tuesday, OF last week, a part Of
Capt. w. w. Riser's farm was visited
with a severe hail storm, and field
of his best cotton was seriously in
inred. Bolls nearly as big as guinea
eggs were beaten off in great numbers.
It will be remembered that Capt. Ri

Rev.S. S. Rain.

The English Lutheran Church in
Augusta was particularly fortunate in
securing the services of Rev. S. S.
Rain in the establishment OF the
church in this community. He is by
no means an ordinary man, and is
highly regarded in literary as well as
ecclesiastical circles. He is q man of
great mental power and reader of
fine elocutionary qualities. He came
to Augusta from the Lutheran College
in Newberry, where he was the popu-
lar and gifted Professor OF Greek. As
a classical scholar he is profound and
eminent, and his pulpit manner is Dig
nified and pleasing. RI
The English Lutherans Of Augusta
will soon have a church building as
welAas fine congregation, and the
calling Of Rev. Rain as the first pastor
will do more than anything else-to
ward strengthening and building up
this young church.-4ug,tst0 Ne,cs.

I am verging on eighty years, and deem it
my duty to suffering humanity to say that
my long life is due TO BRANDRETH's PILLS
which have been my sole medicine for half
century. know the last forty-three years Of
my life is owing solely to their use. Your
PILLS saved me many times after the best
medical skill in several States had given me
up rs hopeless. have had many converts
to purgation with BRANDRETH's PILLS, and
have seen them perform, almost miracles of
cure. For child -en, few doses have cured
measles, scarlet fever, and whooping cough.
IL all female troubles and weakness have
never known them to fail. In adult males |
have known them to cure the worst cases Of
dyspepsia, rheumatism, kidney diseases, dys-
entry and diarrhea; even dropsy, paralysis,
and apoplexy have yielded to a persistent
course of BRANDRETH's PILLS. In fact
have found them the true Life Elixir. They
act as continual preventiyes against the
effects of time, disease, aud labor.

Death.

Col. Samuel W, Cannon died very
suddenly on the 2Gth OF July. He
had been feeble for some time. About
year ago he was stricken with paral-

though he was able to be about. A
man OF fine character, and unblemish-
ed reputation for integrity. he had
great influence in his community.
And his place will not soon be filed.

LAYING A CORNERSTONE.

LAYING A CORNERSTONE.
SAN FRANCIsCo, Aug. 26.
Thousands were in the city Friday to
witness the ceremonies attending the laying
of the cornerstone of the monument to
President Garfield. The procession was di-
vided into four divisions, comprising United
States troops, National Guards of Cali
fornia, Grand Army of the Republic,
Knights Templar and members of
the California Masonic lodges. Over
eight thousand were in line 1t was the
largest procession ever witnessed on the Pa
cific coast. It extended over mile and a
half, occupying an hour and three-quarterS
in passing. The day being a public holi-
day, the visitors from the interior towns
were greater than on any other during the
week. The streets along the line of the
procession were jammed for distance of
mile.
The scene presented in the park was a
magnificent one. On three sides the sur
rounding hills were covered with dense
mass of spectators, on the other the Pacific
Ocean, the valley between being occupied
arrived the members drew up in the form of
a circle around the base of the mountain,
close to which a grand stand had been
erected for the Grand Masonic officers,
whose privilege it was to perform the
ceremony of the laying of the corner stone.
When all had fallen into place prayer was
offered by the Grand Chaplain, followed by
a Masonic ode, chanted by all present.
,baT nP CSsr-
gress, in short speech invited the Grand
Master of California MasOns to lay the
cornerstone of the monument to the
second martyred President of the
United States. The record of the
casket containing the gold, silver,
and the nickel coinage of the present year,
with an account of the assault and obsequies
of President Garfield, were read, after
which the Grand Master, pouring in corn,
wine and oil, and tapping the stone, pro-
nOunced it well and truly laid. An Grafton
on Garfeld's life and services, followed by
the benedictiOn, closed the services. Sa-
lutes were fired from forts on the signal of
the termination Of the ceremony.
The Grand Encampment Friday finally
wound up its session. 1t selected st. Louis
as the city in which to hold the next con-
clave. The selection was somewhat of a
surprise. The proposed amendment to the
bylaws was postponed because of an al
legged irregularity of the Grand Master In
not giving the proper notice of the changes.
The pOStpOnement caused good deal OF
disappointment, for the alterations were
much needed. This Is the second time st.
Louis has had the triennial conclave. II
was held there in 1868
