A Catholic Church In Union.

There is an effort we'll on foot to build
Catholic Church at this place, and the citi-
zens Of the town, Of all denominations,
have made liberal subscriptions to it. We
learn that about a Thousand dollars have
already been pledged, without much effort,
and more is in sight.
There are now about thirty communi-
cauts of the Catholic Church in the town Of
Union, and they are all excellent citizens,
who are ever ready to assist in every enter
prise for the welfare of the town; but,
like members Of other denominations, they
want, and should have, house Of worship
Of their own, and our citizens should en-
courage them in building il.
| A Catholic Church here would be an at
traction to induce number of industrious
thrifty and enierprising people to settle
amoug us, and would do much toward Civ
ing new life and enterprise to the business
of the town.

Padgett's Creek Sunday School.

Mr.. EDITOR. With your permission we
| will give you q few dots from Padgett
Creek Sunday School and community.
| We had quite an interesting and Instructive
occasion at our review on Sunday last.
Tho Superintendent, Mr.. D. N. Wilburn
was at his post proNtty with his usual
pleasant smiles, ready, n possible, to max
every scholar happy with warm grasp OF
tho hand that would cheer their hearts and
make any and all feel themseiyIss Ives at hone. ~
and the teachers began to review their
classes, one by one, for tho benefit Of the
audience, beginning at the least and clos
| ing with the advanced. One pleasing fea-
ture of this examination was, there was
scarcely word missed 10 the whole school,
This goes to prove that there must he some
progress. Indeed the reports Of the differ
! ent teachers showed that some Of the schol-
ars had attained to the highest mark, that
being 90 while n number made IS.
After the prizes had all been distributed
and one OF those beautiful Sunday School
songs hal b,en sung, Mr.. W. G. Wilburn
addressed the School on GLOW to make the
Sunday School II success" which was very
forcible, which was followed by an essay
by Mrs. Alice b. Smith, and read by the
Superintendent, on "The power Of Song"
which was quite an able one, and would be
no discredit to the columns of any religious
journal.
The query, "IIow docs the Sunday School
help the Pastor" was than introduced with
few extemporaneous remarks by Mr.. ii.
b. Murphy, followed by Mr.. Preston b.
Bobo, with one of those sensible pithy
talks.
From what We heard young man say to
his roommate as he startcl, (not toward
home. "dou't bar the door'-'wc won't"
led us TO conclude there was something in
his head right; and if thing' don't change,
we think some preacher will have some
thing to do besides preach about Christmas
Mr.. Editor, the farmers in this section
are preparing for planting, and we think
there will be more corn planted in Cross
Keys this year than last; we hope so at
least. Wheat i, beginning to promise n
good crop, and oa,s to,. We hope to see
the day when Western corn will find q

LET THERE BE NO LYScBINo l-Columbis,
March 2S.-Governor Richardson to-day
notified Sheriff Crawford, Of York County,
tn at orders had been issued for the placing
OF tho Jenkins Rifles, of Yorkville, at his
command to protect the four York County
prisoners threatened with lynching and now
held in the Richland Jail for safekeeping,
and that the Rifles would report to him for
duty ut his wish.
In order that tha safety Of the prisoners
might be ensured, Governor Richardson
suggested that the sheriff detail at least ten
men Of the Rifles to come with him to CO.
lumbia next week, when the York County
Courttwili meet, and return with the prise
ners and himseifto Yorkville. Capt Lind
say Of the Rifles has written that he can
have thirty men available for the main'e-
nance Of order in case Of an emergency.
Governor Richardson's action in the
matter was taken on information received
from ono of the highest Judicial officers OF
the circuit to the effect that lynching
would probably follow the return Of these
prisoners to Yorkville without military
guard, on the request of Sheriff Crawford
for such assistance, and the representations
of other citizens Of York County.
Three of the prisoners are 10 be tried for
the murder Of Mr.. Alternately near Catswba
Junction last month, and the fourth for
rape. The Governor is determined that the
law shall take its course. An Act is on the
statute books requiring that militiamen
when called upon to perform such duty as
this shall receive dollar and n half day
but no appropriation has been made to carry
it out. The Rifles will have COOL claim
against the State, however, for this service
The railroad fare of the men who come over
TO escort the prisoners will be paid out o.
