The saw mill of Mr.. John T. Bryan

The saw mill Of Mr.. John 7. Bryan,
at Cleveland on the Georgetown and
Lanes Railroad, was burned on Jan
uarv 20. Loss $500: no Insurance..
William and Vincent. Fillmore both
colored are in jail at kingstree charg-
ed with the burning.
The six children of Lester Single
;ary, a colored man, living on Mrs
Margaret Lees plantation, in Clsren-
don County, near the Williamsburg
line,were burned to death on the
night of the 26th ult Singletary and
his wife locked The children in their
house and went to church. During
their absence the house was burned
to the ground and the children
persisted in the flames. Their ages
ranged from thirteen years to sixteen
months. TIE next day the negroes
gathered all the bones that renamed
and buried them in one grave.
It VIII be remembered that the old
bell IN the Episcopal Church, IN Sum-
ter was taken down to make cannon
for the Confederate Army. Last week
Capt. T. B. Johnston, who fought
against us as a Union soldier, sent
his check for $50 to aid in buying a
new bell to supply its place. Truly
the bitterness Of war is passing away,
and Capt. Johnston's gift is duly ap'
preciated.-tSumter -ddrNnce.

THE PENSION LAW UNJUST.

Inc pension INV us paSseu ON Iue
last legislature, is entirely too unjust
and too discriminating in its nature
to give satisfaction. Furthermore, it
was rushed through with such a haste
and thorough disregard Of its re-
suits, as should characterize none but
the careless and headstrong. 1t IS a
Law, to say the least of it, that adds
little honor to the State of South Car
olina
We believe in e pension law, and
wish the State was rich enough to
give every man who served in the war
(and there were few old enough h who
did not) a liberal pension. but the law
as it now stands savors too much OF
supporting mendicancy. We could
cite number of cases of honest hard
working men, who lost limb in the
war, but who, nothing daunted, return
ed home and by hard and persistent
labor have accumulated some little
property. They had too much man
hood to sit down idly and pose on a
lost limb. They have acquired five
hundred or a thousand dollars, or pos
sibly even more, and they are yet
working hard and constantly to sup
port themselves and family. On the
other hand, we know lazy, idle, shift
less men, and some of them immoral
in their character, who are unwilling
to work, but loaf around the country:
who have accumulated no property,
but 60 in debt whenever they can,
and never pay debt if they can avoid
it; who are unworthy the confidence
and esteem of their fellow men. &C
eording to the law, the first class, who
are really deserving Of assistance, be-
cause they are willing to help them
selves, must go without one cent Of
aid; while this second class, the lazy,
good-for-nothing fellows, are the ones
to receive assistance. We do not be-
EeYe it is right. 1.-THE pension is to
be given, give to all alike; or else re-
strict to the few, Ue1y fer, in each
county, who are really unable to earn
a support, and who ought to be assist
ed, if not by the State, then by their
neighbors- There are men, wounded
Confederate soldiers, who, we care
not what sentimental gush may be
uttered in their favor, are unworthy
the support and sympathy of the
community. Because not few are
poor and Go not support themselves
is not because they served in the war
and lost a limb, but because they are
too intolerably lazy and worthless to
work. They would never have been
OF any account, even If they had new
er heard of a war.
The bill was rushed through in a
great hurry, and $4,000 appropriated
for paying these pensions, but by the
way the applications are pouring in,
this amount will not be sufficient to
nav oue-fourth of those who would
be entitled to receive its benefits.
There will probably be hundred
claimants from this county alone.
The Pension Commission see the dan
ger ahead, and have issued instruc-
tions that no more applications are to
be sent to them for the present. But
the law is passed, and what is to be
done about It? The Commission will
have to do some close thinking and
maneuvering.

Progress OF the Religions Season at
the congregational Church.
Last evening Mr.. Homlin took for his
text Ii. Kings 10:15-'Is thy heart
right?" Another question: question
which should interest every one of US.
II We ere not Christ's, we are in the
paths of sin. 1t may be We are near the
kingdom, but lacking one thing. The
sin of failing to confess Christ makes
you guilty. This is a question OF i'm
p%ortance to all of as. Is thy hesrt right?
We can only snswer it each one for him
self or herself. God looks not at the
outward appearance, but at the heart.
ALI things are naked and open to him
with whom we have to do. A most i'm
portent question is, what does God
think of mep The heart is the fountain
from which flows the scream. Keep thy
heart with all diligence, for out ct it
are the issues of life. II you purify the
stream you must first purity the foun-
tain. What Is q right heart? Fret,
one that is properly I~ocated-one that
has treasure In heaven. Where the
treasure is there will the heart be also,
anchored to the eternal throne OF God.
A heart that beats in unison with and in
sympathy With the divine will. Second.
the heart must be pure. CHRIST said
BLESSED are the pure in heart, for they
shall see God" Bring your hearts all
sin stained TO the cross to be purified by
the blood Of CHRIST. Third, . right heart
Is q believing heart. "With the heart
man believeth unto righteousness" A
right heart will take God at his word in
simple faith. Believe with the heart,
trust God. How can I make my heart
pure? By bringing it to the fountain
which is opened for sin and ~unclesnness.
Bring your heart to Christ as it is. DOM
stop to fix it up. A broken and contrite
heart God vii not despise. God help
you to bring your hearts to Christ to.
