To the Clergy and Laity Of tho Diocese
of South Carolina.

Dear Brethren-You have all doubt
less heard of the total loss by fire of st.
Johns church, Winnsboro', on the night
of the LIST inst.
By the advice and direction of the
Bishop, / appeal to the rector of every
parish and church in the Diocese, large
or small, that he will give me an offering
from his church on Easter Sunday, and
if that is already devoted to some other
purpose, then on some Sunday before
Easter.
Our people and town have contributed
generously to help rebuild cur church,
but the amount subscribed is not sufi.
cient, and we must depend on your aid
for the required balance.
We ask the laity to send us individual
subscriptions.
The calamity is great, and we urge a
generous and prompt assistance, without
which, can not hope to rebuild.
Very truly yours,
JOHN. G.. GLASS,
Deacon in charge.

going through the land saving the lost,

Miss Jones Indignantly left the church.

A Georgia ssCrackero Gets Away With
the Southern Clock Man.

Mr.. j. M. Cooley, at present holding
forth in this city, is the headman of the
Southern Clock Company, whatever that
may be, and has in his employ large
number of young men who travel hither
and thither throughout the country sell
ing cheap clocks after the style of the
omnipresent sewing machine agent.
Cooley is man of business, lively,
level. headed and with all good judge
of human nature, but he is not infallible
and sometimes gets 'picked up" as the
sequel will show.
a, few weeks ago he determined to
extend his business operations and
invade the territory of Bedford county
with his time keepers, warranted to hold
their own, and for this purpose Mr..
Cooley was on the lookout for young
man to act as agent. BE found him, in
the person of one Mr.. Frank L. Rees,
who hailed from Schey county, Georgia.
Rees came well recommended and claimed
to be scion of distinguished Georgia
family. His papers and his family gen.
eology seemed to eminently ft him for
the business of peddling cheap clocks
out to unsuspecting rural rustics who
desire to keep up with old Father Times
meanderings, and Rees was engaged to
doup Bedford.
It was necessary that Rees should
practice little and he was sent out in
Pittsylvania to try his hand. The
experiment was satisfactory, and on or
about the 22pd of February Cooley
advanced Rees the sum of $40, and
started him to Bedford to furnish cheap
time to the benighted citizens of that
county, and that's the last Cooley ever
saw of his agent.
Investigation shows that Rees wentto
Franklin Junction where he got on
bender, and furnished fun for the loafers
thefeabouts for two days. He claimed
to be much of a scholar and mounted on
q dry goods box he spent hours spouting
Latin, French and Greek, and then com.
ing back to English he gave his admiring
audience whole pages of Shakespeare,
Byron and other poetical productions.
Cooley tried to trace his man Rees, but
failed to locate him until yesterday he
received a long letter from the truant
dated at Anderson, S. @.
In this letter Rees made confession
of his sins and implores pardon.
He says that before leaving Danvills
he fell into bad company and was robbed
of half the money advanced him to go
to Bedford that he then went to the
country to try to sell some clocks to catch
up with his cash account. Then he con-
cluded he had better skip, which he pro-
ceeded to do on the southbound train
February 25th.
The letter written by Rees is pitiful
plea for forgiveness, but Mr.. Cooley has
learned that such performances are COM
mon with the fugitive, and thats not a
great while ago he swindled community
in Florida where he appeared in the role
of pious school teacher.
Rees is now believed TO be in Macon,
Ga, where be has heretofore lived.
Mr.. Cooley is short $40 and number
of clocks-Danville, Va, Register,

The Wife Was Not Dead.

BALL GROUND, GA, March 9.-Mr.
Smith Dimsdale, a prosperous farmer Of
Ball Ground, Ga, has found himself,
much to his embarrassment, the possessor
of two living wives. A few months ago,
wife number one, who vas handsome
woman of perhaps thirty years, met An.
drew Harper, man of good address and
stylish appearance. Harper soon became
enamored of Mrs. Dimsdale, who
returned his. affection. Mr.. Dimsdale
loved his wife devotedly and implored
her to cease her relations with Harper,
but all 20 no purpose, and one night sew
eral months ago, she left her husbands
roof to meet Harper, and fled with him
to Culberson, North Carolina.
A few weeks after letter was received
by Mr.. Dimsdale dated from Culberson,
North Carolina, and signed by one
w. J. Harris, stating that man named
Harper came to bis house a few days
previous, accompanied by woman who
was quite sick, and after getting permits.
sion to leave her at his house, he started
out in search for doctor, and failed to
return. The letter stated that the woman
grew worse, and died, and while on her
deathbed she confessed that she was a
ruined woman, and had forsaken her
husband, whose name she gave as VIM.
Smith Dimsdale, and her little children,
near Ball Ground, Ga, and ran away
with Harper.
Dimsdale in the meantime had insti-
tuted proceedings for divorce, which be
withdrew upon receipt of this letter. He
then began paying court to Miss Sarah
Holcomb, which culminsted in happy
marriage shortly afterward, and he has
lived happily with bis new wife until last
Friday night, when Mrs. Dimsdale num-
be- one made her appearance and the
see which followed was as embarrass.
ing as it was affecting.
The penitent wife rushed in without
being announced, aad, falling at her hus.
bands feet, begged to be taken back,
while her little children nestled close to
her bosom. On the one side of Dimsdale
sat his newly welded wife whom he had
promised to love and cherish, while on
the other side was the wife of his youth,
who had deserted him and theiI children
and who, he thought, was dead. To say
that her appearance almost laralyzed
him would be to put it exceedingly mild,
and it was some time before she could
convince him that abe was really alive
and not the ghost of his former wife.
He has not yet decided what course to
pursue. he thinks o! giving wife num-
Der two to her parents and clinging to
wife number one until he can get q
divorce; but this way out of the trouble
wonld hardly be Recognized by the law.
It turns out that the sstter was fraud,
and Mr.. Dimsdale naw poses before the
public with two livsxg wives, to love,
cherish and obey, and . probable case in
the court on charge Of bigamy.-7ele-

letter to the San Francisco Examiner he

Protection In NE Courts.

A colored Republican, who is leader
Of his party in his county, said yesterday
that the G. O. P. was preparing for q
campaign Of unusual activity in this
State. He also said that prominent
leaders at the North were planning an
entirely new line Of campaign. They
think that it is time to quit fighting on
dead issues, and now they are arranging
for q fight on issues more in keeping
with the spirit of the nineteenth century.
The strangest thing told by this hungry
ofice.seeker was that this new element
in the Republican party was hard at
work to secure the nomination of John
Sherman as the Republican candidate
for President. He said that Sherman
had the entire vote of South Carolina
already in his vest pocket, and that be
would receive the unanimous vote of all
the Southern States. Sherman expects
to be nominated on the first ballot, and
to frame platform and policy that will
be acceptable to the Protectionists of the
South. His friends are now in cores.
pondence with Republican leaders as to
the advisability Of giving the second
place on the ticket to a Southern man.
John S. Wise, Of Virginia, and Henry
Clay Watmoth, of Louisiana, are spoken
Of for the place. The idea is to tear up
the sanguinary garment that has done
service for the past quarter Of century
and to run "new South" campaign.
The central key note of the campaign
will be the advocacy of protection. A
canvass will be made in all of the South.
ern States where there is the least
Republican strength. The leaders pro.
fess to believe that they will have good
chance in West Virginia, Virginia,
North Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana and
Tennessee. The suppression of the col
ored vote, election outrages and other
old political chestnuts will be kept in the
background. An appeal will be made
to the manufacturing interests and to the
laborers to come out for protection.
The plan of putting Southern man
on the ticket does not meet with much
favor in the South. Nearly all of the
leaders who have been consulted on the
subject have thrown cold water on the
project.-NeWs and Courier.

The Death Of Col. E. B. C. Cash.

A telegram was received here yester.
day. afternoon announcing the death ot
Col. E. B. G. Cash, which occurred at his
home at Cash's Depot, Chesterfield
County, at II o'clock yesterday morning.
The event was not altogether a sur
prise, premature announcement of it
made by the press few days ago having
made the public acquainted with Col.
Cash's extreme illness. BE had been
feeble for several years, but the attack
which caused his death came on him
about three months ago. Since then he
has been very low at times, now and then
recovering partially.
Col. Cash died in his Goth year. He
was born in Chesterfield County, his
father being wealthy land owner and
planter. While young man Col. Cash
studied for the profession of the law,
but on the death of his father, he gave
up the prospect of professional life to
take charge of the paternal estate for his
mother. The property included the
Cash mansion and about 10000 acres of
land. There Col. Cash spent the
remainder of his life.
The deceased never held any political
position of prominence, his tastes and
propensities all leading in other direc.
tions and more to the life of the ipdepen-
dent southern gentlemen of the old
school. He was known as man of great
personal bravery and daring, and strong
and consistent believer in the "cods Of
honor" of which he was considered the
most prominent exponent in his day. He
was Colonel in the Confederate service,
actively engaged at the front.
In July, 1880, Col. Cash met Col. w.
II. Shannon in q duel in Darlington
county, in which Col. Shannon was
killed.
