A LITTLE FLUTTER.
Several Persons Indicted for Selling
Whiskey without License.

About week ago stranger came here as
n railroad contractor, and made himself quite
sociahle with "the boys" spending some time
with them OH the corners and elsewhere: He
came in very plain clothes, and seemed not
at all particulars to his dress. Last Satur.
day morning the same man appeared on the
street in quite another garb, and so nicely
dressed that "the boys scarcely recognized
him as the railroad contractor" with whom
they had been somewhat associated.
In q little while Captain Riley, the chief OF
police, was seen going around, looking for
sthe boys" tor several OF whom he had q
ticket 10 attend matinee at the lntendantS
office on Wednesday. October q, TO answer to
the charge of selling whiskey. We are not
Informed as to the exact number against
whom the railroad contractor" had lodged
complaints, but we believe about dozen
were reported to the mayor.
The affair." tor little while. created quite q
sensation, and was all the talk on the streets.
The number of drunken men that had been
seen on our streets OF of late, led the public
TO believe that somebody was violating the
prohibititory law, and the drunkenness was
n subject OF common remark, while not a feW
felt that the the law ought TO be. enforced.
The bar keepers promptly closed their doors
on the first OF January, and the town coun'
ell now owe 1t to this people, to see That the
law is respected.

Gin House Burned.

The GIN house of MIR. John 7. Pace. abou
two miles this side of Hodges, was burned
last Thursday afternoon, together with about
sixteen bales OF cotton. The origin OF the fire
is supposed to have been n spark from the en-
gine. This is q serious loss to Mr.. Pace, anC
It Is u matter Of special regret that the bes
proceeds of the years work should have thus
been destroyed. He isa prosperous farmer
and the loss by this fire will be felt by him.
In connection with this we would remark
upon the strange fatality that follows gin
houses in which u large number of bales are
stored. Nearly every gin house that is de
stroyed has In 1T n large amount of cotton
Because OF the risk incident TO storing cotton
in gin house we would suggest the proprie.
ty of selling or removing the cotton at the
earliest day possible. Don't let any consider
able amount of cotton stay in the gin house
The risk is too great.

The Evangelical Association, per-
haps better known as "Albright's Peo-
ple,n was organized by Jacob AL
bright, native of Pennsylvania.
Having been converted, he abandoned
Lutheranism and joined the Methodist
Church. OF German descent, he felt
called to preach the gospel to the nu-
merous immigrants from the Father
land. But Bishop Asbury disapprov-
ed of his course. Not the German, but
the English language should be en-
ployed by our preachers, was the bsh-
OPS decision. This led to q rupture.
In 1903, Albright and adherents organ
lied themselves into Il separate church.
The work developed rapidly. In 1877
the first annual, and in 1916 the first
General Conference convened.
Doctrinally, the Evangelical Asso-
citation is Arminian with regard to
sanctitication, Wesleyan; III church
polity, ETC., Methodistic. The bishops
are elected quadrennially. The Epis-
copal term is confined to one quadren-
mum. Incunlbents are sometimes re-
elected. sometimes not. The presiding
elders are elected by the annual confer
ences. The bishops, assisted by the
presiding elders, station the preachers.
The growth of the Evangelical AS
sociation has been phenomiially rapid.
Of their twenty-siX annual conferences
one is in Canada and one III Germany.
The published minutes show a MEM
bership of l43, 703. Last year Sll3, lS3.-
As were contributed for foreign mis-
sions. Their mission in japan is
prosperous. The Biblical Institute at

The Loss Of n Bale.

Thirty bales, packed in cotton bagging,
means the loss OF one bale of cotton to the
planter while it means Il handsome profit TO
the cotton buyer. or cotton factor, who re-
covers 1t with jute. The whole proceeding
does not hurt the jute trust, as they sell their
bagging to the compress companies in large
quantities, perhaps by the car load.
We challenge the Alliance, or any other
man. to successfully disprove any assertion
herein made.
And we ask the farmer, to decide who Is his
best friend, the man who advises him to sub
INIT to loss, or the man who would save him

Presentment Of the Grand Jury.

~ E J =. q
ABBEvILLE, s. c., Oct. II, 1889.
To the Hon. Z. B. Fraser, Judge
Of Goasrt. October Term, 1889:
The following is the presentment Of
the Grand Jury =
Having examined the books of the
Clerk Of Court, County Treasurer,
Sheriff, Auditor and Probate Judge,
at last Court, and having found them
correctly kept, we deem it not necessa-
ry to examine them again. g
The transcripts of the Trial Justices
have been examined, and found to be-
in accordance with the requirements
of the law. es
The County Commissioners, by their
clerk, have made report of the finan-gg
eial condition of the County, which re-
port is received as information.
The attention of the grand jury has
been called, again, TO the abuse of the
court rooms, by the, holding Of meet
ings, such as Hot Suppers, Charades,
etc., in said court rooms. This nuis-s
ance should be abated. The Commis-;
sioners should put signs at crossings
and forks of roads.
The Committee appointed to exam-S
inc the Jail, report the same to be in
good condition, the prisoners comfort-
able and well cared for. This commit
tee beg to say, however, that it has
been reported to them by some parties
that, during recess between the meet
ing of the court, the Jail is not as well
kept as it should be.
A paper submitted by His Excellen-,
cy, the Governor, to the Solicitor, and
which contains charges Of official mis-
conduct on the part Of Trial Justice
Smith, Of Mccormick, has been ex-s
amined, and the complaint dismissed,
upon the ground that the grand jury
believe it to be a malicious falsehood. 4
The passing of an act by the State
Legislature, to allow the County Aud-5
itor of Abbeville to destroy all papers
containing returns Of Real and Person
al property, that are over five years
standing, is recommended by the grand
jury. K
The Committee to examine into the
condition of the Poor House, report
the same being in good condition, but
cook stove should be placed In,
the old church bnilding, for the use:
of the cooks for the inmates. y
We recommend that the County
Commissioners be required to make!
such changes in the room Of the.
Probate Judge as the Probate.
Judge shall indicate-also In the Sher-'
lifts Office. f
With our acknowledgment of cour-
tesies by the Court, Ej
We respectfully make this present.

Charleston World.

MrT w. Stanland, OF Summervillc, n mem
Der of the Berkeley county delegation to tho
general assembly. was in the city yesterday
and was asked to give some information con
cernng the meeting recently held ut Mount
Pleasant. and the views he then expressed
concerning the compensation paid to the
county officials of Berkeley.
Mr.. Stanland said that at the last meeting
of the legislature. together with Representa-.
tive Morrison and others, he prepared q bill
providing that those OF the Berkeley county
officers who received fees for their services
should pay them into the county treasury, and
receive in lieu thereof Sta.ed salaries. Repre-
sentative Harper, Of Williamsburg, had intro
duced about the same time similar measure
for his county. Both bills, however, having
been re-committed TO the committee, did not
come up during the session, and he now pro.
poses TO bring IL up again at the meeting o
the general sSsembly next month.
Mr. Stanland says that according 10 his cal
culation the saving to the taxpayers of Berte
ley will be about $4,000, or nearly two mills
on the entire levy.
