The Orangcburg District Conference.

lHc
Editor Times n,ld Democrat:
The Orangeburg District Conference
convened at Andrew Chapel, Orange
Circuit, August 5th, and adjourned
August 7th, 1886. In spite of hot
weather and long and rough roads, Il
creditable per cent. of the members
answered to their names at first roll
call. This is gratifying fact, pro-
phecy of future success. When it is
remembered that this Conference is
made up largely of laymen, it will
appear that the rank and file of the
church are in hearty sympathy with
the movements of our leaders. In
canvassing the various interests OF the
church the laymen were frequently
called upon-often when the pastor
was present-and the readiness and
intelligence of their replies, showed
that they had not only entered into the
plans and purposes Of the church, but
that they were quite familiar with its
workings.
The State of the church was repre-
sented as being good-not satisfactory,
to-be-sure, but hopeful. II there was
pessimist there he did not speak out.
The watchful Presiding Elder, who is
closing UP his quadrennial on the Dis
trict, thinks it was never in better
working condition-ccrtainly not since
his connection with it. Your corres-
pondent has but little patience with
the idea that all the world is going to
the bad. If men are doing their duty
why not he cheerful and happy, and
hopeful, and think Of the occasional
troubles that come as the storm flashes
and thunders and roars, and then
passes away and leaves the atmosphere
pure? All around are the bending
heavens bright with promise and hope.
THE PLACE AND PEOPLE.
Andrew Chapel is a neat and COM
Portable church, about eighteen miles
above Orangeburg. 1t is in the midst
of populous community, and has a
large and intelligent membership, a
tlourishing Sunday school, in safe,
considerate hands. Hospitality aboun-
ded. Andrew Chapel may count on
my vote for District Conference the
next time it invites us, ProDideI al

AN INCIDENT.
1t was three o'clock p. IN. The church
was packed to its utmost capacity.
The thermometer Was in the nincties.
We had an earnest sermon by IN earn
est preacher, followed by an earnest
eXhortation. AS one eNhorter warm
ed up" about two hundred pounds of
humanity stepped out Of the church
door and looked around with an air of
relief, and gave expression to his feel
ings thus "Phew!" Us that the way
to spell it, TO one sitting out under
the temporary she'd, enjoying the
breeze, the thing was supremely redicu-
lous, The incident is suggestive. In
deed it may be Il two-edged sword,
ready to cut either way. shall not
use it here, however. Taken alto

Our Educational System.
Editor Times and Democrat:

Editor Times and Democrat:
The attack made by some OF the citi-
Zens of this County upon the educa-
tional system of the State raises a
question which is of too much i'm
portance to be allowed to 60 by de-
fault. Education is either a good
thing or a bad thing.
Good citizens are necessary to good
government, and educated citizens are
generally good citizens; hence it follows
that if we desire a good government
we must have educated citizens.
It is true that education, of itself,
does not make the citizen good, and
the lack Of it does not make him bad;
yet it can not be denied that the edu-
Gated man makes the better citizen.
No more can it be denied that the
government owes to all citizens the
adoption of means for its improve
ment.
The present mass Of ignorance
threatens our free institutions and it
is the duty of the State to educate her
citizens by any means within her
reach. It is one of the duties of the
citizens to supply the means. This
seems to me to be the self-eyident plea
for the education of the poor man.
The rich man can educate his own
family, and if the poor man is COM
PEELED to stand still in this matter the
the State will fall into the hands of the
few educated Tich. / know that the
old threadbare statement that to edu-
cate a poor man units him for his
surroundings, is again brought for
ward for the occasion by substituting
the nigger for the poor man. This
country passed that discussion forty
years ago. At present it is a political
scare-crow in Bourbon rags. 1t does
not deceive.
Give us an effective system of free
schools, the Citadel, the University,
the Farmers College and the Female
Seminary-throw them open free and
make education compulsory, up to a
certain age. This will put power
where it belongs in the hands of the
people and secure free government
upheld by the jealous affection of a
grateful and intelligent people.

received 227 special reports. covering
every County in the State, on the condi-
tion of the crops, and furnishes the fol-
lowing summary of these reports:
COTTON.
The untavorablc seasons in June and
July retarded the growth Of cotton.
The excessive rains caused vigorous
growth ofgrass, aud the crop was great
ly injured i'll removing it, The reports
Of August lst showed that the plant Is
small and poorly fruited. a slight i'm
provement Is noticed on some of the
red clay lands over condition on July
lst, but on light gray sandy soils the
the condition is reported lower than for
tire previous month. In some localities
the crop has suffered for rain. The re-
ports, with few exceptions, are unfav-
orable.
The correspondents generally concur
in the opinion that larger yield than is
now anticipated will be realized if the
Fall is late.
The condition on the lst Of August is !:
In upper Carolina. G2 !; middle Carolina,
&C: Lower Carolina. 13. Average for
the State, CT.
Upland corn, where it has been well
worked and fertilized, is reported iii fine
condition, but in some sections the crop
on sandy lands has been injured by en-
cessivc rains.
In many places the crop on bottoms
was totally destroyed BY the Spring
floods and only part Of these lands
was rcplanted.
The condition is reported i'll upper
Carolina, at G2; middle Carolina, II !;
lower Carolina, So. Average for the
State. II.
The reports on the condition of rice
arc generally favorable, except where it
has been injured BY the freshets. In
Georgetown County one of the CORES
pandcnts estimates that onc-halt OF the
crop has been destroyed. The condi-
ton is reported at 81.
OTHER CROPS,
The condition of the other crops is re-
ported as follows: Sorghum. IS: sugar

he is Indirectly trying to buy your

AN UGLY POsTOFFICE CASE.-A
preliminary trial was held here on Tues
day in the case Of 7. II. Mcmillan, As
sistant Postmaster at Grahams, charged
with fraudulent transactions in .connec-
ton with the postoffice. The arrest
was made at the instance. Of Postoffice
Inspector j. d. Williams. The trial
took place before L. S. Commissioner
Lathrop. the government being repre-
sented by District Attorney Youmans
and the defence by Mcssrs. Izlar &
Glaze. The testimony brought out, as
reported to us. showed that T. H. Nc
MILAN, vino is mere youth, and a son
of the Post Mistress, had for some
months been engaged in a swlndling
scheme of considerable magnitude. 1t
appears that Mcmillan had advertise
ments put in number of papers at a
distance under various aliases promis-
ing to send goods, such as iewelry, &C.,
in packages of different values from IS to
s25. to any persons who would enclose
him from so toe75 cents, according to
to the value of the package desired, as a
guarantee Of good faith. He instructed
the postmasters at these places to for
ward all letters to the different names
to Grahams. In the advertisements he
referred all persons inquiring into the re-
liability Of the parties to the postmaster
at Grahams, and the replies, it is to be
presumed, were always satisfactory. 1t
is said that n large number Of letters
came, and there is no telling the amount
of money that was made. The young
man was bound over for trial in the
sum of $1,000. The youth of the party
gives rise to the suspicion that there are
older and shrewder accomplices at.thebot-
tom of the affair. Great sympathy is felt
for the family of the unfortunate young
man which is said to be very respecta-
