In answer to a call from the little
congregation of LutheranS of this
place, we recently moved here fully de-
termined to do all we could for them,
and the advancement of the Kingdom
of our Lord Jesus Christ. Up to this
time we have been very much in
couraged by not only Lutherans, but
all whom we have met.
The church, though without pastor
for some time, shows a remarkable de-
gree of spiritual life. We find here
some earnest and faithful workers, and
by a little encouragement, we think
they will do much for Christ.
The ladies, especially, are at work.
They have recently turned over to the
vestry of the church quite enough
money to put a new roof on the church.
They are now working for other i'm
proVements. May the Lord bless them
in their work. All of these things seem
to indicate that the ecclesiastical sun
of Orangeburg is rising higher and
higher every day.
we thank the good people for their
kindness to us since in their midst.

Eermers' Clubs.

Editor Times and Democrat:
I have heard it intimated that the
Farmers Clubs" now being organized
throughout the State are political and
not agricultural. If this be true. what
is to Become Of the regular Democra-
tic Clubs, the membership of which,
outside Of incorporated towns, is COM
posed almost entirely of farmers? Is
the older to be absorbed by the new
organization? If so, then there will be
only a change in name, but I hardly
think the new movement contemplates
such a small result as this. If not,
there's going to be trouble, and [ feel
constrained to sound note of warning
qaoao, in the incipiency of the campaign,
before it is too late to apply remedy.
The danger of the formation of a "new
party" mag not be imminent-indeed
we farmers are pledged against it by
the first resolution passed by our Con-
vention in April last-but it is certain
ly true that split in the Democratic
party is confidently looked forward to
by the Republicans and a feaO others,
as the result of this new movement.

Professors Ayrtopssnd Perry, the Eng

Fashionable Colors and Their Names

The touching descriptions OF the
customs which are to grace the roya!
ladies of Portugal at the approaching
festivities, give striking evidence of the
total incapacity Of the English language
to adequately translate the language
which nature speaks through her infinite
shades Of color. The simple names of the
primary colors have long since passed out
of the milliner's vocabulary, but they at
least produce definite conception in the
mind. Can the same he said of "hemp
color" agrocers' blue" 'beaver color"
athe tints of a wood pigeons breast, 7"
antique green," "lime BLOSSOM" and the
"shade of brown seen in the very middle
of broken almond?"
The pet color of the Princess Amelie Is
seemingly pink, and the varying shades of
this color which are to be seen in her
trousseau are "plain pink" 'pale pink"
"palest pink, "rose pink" shrimp pink,
asoft pink" @fiesh pink" and "pink match
ing anemones and rosebuds." Doubtless
they make q very sweet bunch of pinks,
but it may be questioned whether any one
of them will be understood in the same
sense by any two individuals.-Pall Mall

there is no more natural remedy than

say in all candor, is Simmons Hepatlc
Compound. 1t will gently move the

bowels are soothed and healed like a

ingredients possess all the good qualities
of that poisonous drug. without any OF
its constituents. A dose Of Simmons
Hepatic Compound every night on
