No. We call attention to the notice of
Rev. b. G. Clifford, Principal of the Clifford
Seminary, announcing the opening of that
popular institution next Tuesday.
We are pleased to leoru from Mr.. CliHord
that the prospects for much larger number of
pupils than heretofore arc very encouraging,
while the many fattcring letters from parents
and friends of former pupils give uncrring
testimony of the growing popularity of this
Seminary, based upon the solid foundation of
specimens of the polished work it has already
sent out to adorn society.
We again say there arc but few institu-
tions of learning in this country that offer
more or higher educational advantages than
the Clifford Seminary and certainly no town
possesses greater attractions than the heal
thy and pretty town of Union for the location
of such an institution.
While the Clifford Seminary is entirely n
private enterprise, it has done much public
good in the way of imparting higher cduca-
ton to young ladies. from all parts of the
State, thereby giving character to the town
for superior educational facilities, which
should hc appreciated hy our citizens. and
the institution encouraged not only because
ii is n worthy home enterprise hut for its
intrinsic merits.

Notes from New Hope.

Mr.. EDIToR.-Perhars a few dots from
our New Hope section may interest some of
your readers, and nsk for space in your
columns to give them.
In the early part of the present year our
people resolved that they would have o new
house in which to worship God, and at once
set about putting that resolution into prac-
tice. Our worthy minister, Rev. d. Z.
Boyd, took an active part with us in the
work, and much of our success is due to
his efforts. A building committee was ap-
pointed, and all the preliminary plans were
arranged. The ladies, Of course, gladly
came to our help. and on the 14th of Feb
ruary they gave hot supper, from which
the net sum of $75 20 was realized The
work has gone on and now the building
only needs another coat Of paint, and it
will then be ready to DO dedicated to Gods
service. Our people acted their part zeal
ously and faithfully, and it is hut right that
they should be hold in honorable remem-
brance for this good work.
On the fourth Sunday in July Rev. D. p.
Boyd began n series of meetings-the first
services held in the new building-and the
result was % accessions TO the church

l3 years Of age. 30.

for good went out from that convention and
will be as broad cast upon tho waters
On Friday before the fourth Sunday in
October is day set apart rs "Children's
day :" on Saturday our quarterly meeting
will be held, and on Sunday the new
house will be dedicated to the worship of
Almighty God and then the New Hope Of
the past will be merged into the New Hope

A Little Advice.

What is it that stirs my heart ant
prompts long felt desire to say something
regarding the wild, reckless state that 80.
ciety has has plunged itself into, that will,
after the long, long struggle to outs,rip she
past and improve the future, some day
burst iuto atoms and find itself but a bubble
that has bursted into empty nothingncss.
j like progress, in the right direction
but in the present day is there not guam
tity ofvanity and foolshnes mingled with the
rapid progress, that science and literature
are making and spreading over our land.
| would, if possible, obliterate the ugly
stumbling blocks that beset the pathway Of
our improved age, that our American pco-
pie might show the world, what a great
Nation it ought to and can be. The ques-
ton now naturally arises, what must be
done, and what is the remedy to be used as
u preventive?
Ye mothers and fathers of the land, with
You rests the solution Of this problem, and
it will have to be solved, ere we reach this
desired haven of safety.
Think seriously for n while and see if
there are not many vanities, to which you
probably are given, and vanities that your
children ought not to follow. Forsake
them: set the example. and your offspring
will naturally follow in your footprints.
Mothers, ought not your daughters know
something beyond laces, fashionable ma
terials, the laws that govorn society wo-
man, the struggle to obtain The title Of
Society Belle, etc? Improve their hearts
and minds bring them up breathing the at-
mosphere Of q cultivated mind and pure
heart and your daughters will be the W )men
that America needs.
Fathers, who rule the land with your
giant intellect-and some with your vices
keeping pace with the rapidly revolving
wheel OF time, would you have your sons
follow you in these vicious pathways? II
not use The intelligence that God has given
you, improve their minds and hearts, teach
them by preccpt and example, to look
beyond the drinking, and gambling saloons,
aud the hOrrid vices that constantly beset
them, and they will prove TO be sons f
which America can proudly boast. o

Writ Of Habeas Corpus.

Judge Wallace was engaged last Tuesday
afternoon in hearing applications for bail on
writs of hdbca, corpus in two cases Of homi-
eide from Columbia.
The case Of w. ID. Kelly, white, for the
killing of George Bateman, colorcd, in Co
lumbia, sometime ago, who was tried, but
the Jury failed to agree, and the application
was made for bail; Judge S. W. Melton
representing the defense, and Solicitor Z.
ii. Nelson representing the State.
The affidavits used in the case were pretty
much the same ns those used Mt the trial.
Solicitor Nelson resisted the motion for
bail, on the ground that, under the provision
Of the Constitution. where the presumption
is great that the killing was murder, bail
shall not be granted, and rs the Jury failed
to agree, as in this case the presumption was
great
After argument Judge Wallace took the
case under adviscmcnt.
The other case was that of W. 3. Mcctze,
for the killing of James L. Clark, on the
Sd Of August, i'll Columbia, for alleged i'm
proper ARRANGEMENTS towards Meetzcs wife.
Several affiduvits were submitted as to the
conduct of Clark towards Mrs Mcctze, and
as to the character of Clark and the fatal en-
counter.
Judge Wallace reserved his decision in
this case also.
Judge Melton stated thut his reason FOR max
ing application to Judge Wallace was because
