THE WOOLLEY MEETINGS.
Communicated

John G. Woolley, the gospel temper
ance apostle of Minnesota, has come ard
gone. For six consecutive evenings our
citizens here had the privilege of listen
ing to his teachings and of forming
their own opinions as to his intellectual
and spiritual qualifications for his high
calling, of saving men from the bondage
of the strong drink custom. Mr.. Woolley
passed the ordeal triumphant and recelv
ed the unanimous verdict of approval
from the crowds who in spite of the IN
clemencY of the season, waited upon
his Ministry Gentle IN spirit, intellect
nally keen and full of the power of the
gospel, his bold upon the people in

greeable evening any audience has been

of the land, backed by strong convictions
of what is truth and duty, sends his
Parthian arrows bright and keen, into the
consciences of his hearers. People who
do not wish to be converted will do well( z?
to keep away from Mr.. Woolley's meet
ings. That he is very sincere in his pro-
fession, and DEVOTED to his work grows
upon every one who has the opportunity Of
meeting him in personal work. His ad-
vent is the beginning of new epoch in
the temperance work in this city, and,
will ally the church and temperance
workers more closely and greatly In
crease the efficiency of their labors.
At no distant day he is expected to re-
turn and push the work so ausp1ciously
begun. We are glad to know that he
will not confine his labors to Minneapolis
but will do a much needed missionary
in the smaller cities and towns. At pres.
ent he is holding gospel temperance
meetings in the churches of St. Paul.
By common consent, he is the ablest ad.
vocate of prohibition who has ever ap.
peared In our city, and one who is des-
tined to become potent factor in the
work of moral reform in our state.

THE PROGRESS OF a YEAR.

The annual report of the Secretary of
State, as shown by an extract from it
published in the News and Courier Of
Monday, contains some figures that
should be encouraging to the people Of
South Carolina, who are interested in
the material development Of the State.
A list of the chartered institutions
inaugurated during the year ending
October 81 is given. It shows that 81
new corporations have been formed
during the year, with total capital OF
S4,OS5, 900 invested.
Of these, seven are cotton factories
with a capital of Sl,0S5,00o; sixteen are
banks with a capital SSl5,00O; six are
building and loan associations with a
capital of 1885, 900; thirteen are cotton
seed oil mills, with capital of S27S, 900.
These figures would indicate consid-
cradle advance in the material develop
ment of the State and would indicate
that we are moving forward.
One thing we notice, however, as con-
spicuous for it's absence in the list, is
the fact that not single new enterprise
has been inaugurated in Newberay dur
ing the year. Weshould have been glad
if Newberry had some Of these four mil
lion dollars invested. It would help tc
enrich our county aud town and put
money in circulation. Possibly we
will come in the list next year.

Prohibitionists of Newberry.

Don't forget that Monday, the I'd Of
December, is the day appointed for an
other meeting of the Prohibition Com
mittee.
Think we'll and seriously of this mat
ter. Questions of less Importance have
run nations into war. These nearly
always fight over some question of
property or finances. Prohibition
touches the cash and the characters
exhausts the minds and the morals in
our land. Nine hundred millions Of
dollars are spent for drink annually,
and sixty thousand drunkards die an
nually. Enough whisky is sold from
the town of Newbery to keep seven
bar-rooms running and ruin characters,
the number of which we cannot say.
I have heard Of one young girl who
has been swooped down upon by a
whisky devil Of that town and her
character ruined. This one is only the
finger board to the den where many
more are incarcerated. Think on all
the facts that stare you in the face until
you fall upon your knees, then arise
and determine by the help of the Lord
never to cease your efforts, but renew
and redouble them, until the saloons,
the only legalized crime in our land,
shall be no more.
Yours for Prohibition,
J. D. HIGGINS.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

We publish this week some hgures
from the annual report of Col. }. II.
Rice, Superintendent of Educatl"n'
which should be Of interest to our peo-
ple. In collecting these figures we DO
not suppose theyare absolutely correct
but approximately so. There has been
an increase in the number of schools
and school houses. There has been
slight increase in attendance since last
years report. There has been a de-
crease in the number Of white pupils
during the year over last year, but an
;ncrease in the number of colored pu-
nils. There were 14,742 more coiored
children than white children enrolled
in the schools the past year, and yet
the large proportion of the funds for
school,purposes is paid by the whites.
Over $4,000 were spent for school
purooses during the year Nearly $780,
ESQ of this amount was paid to the
teachers of the public schools in the
4 State. -,

age of Claussen's in this county, about
ten miles from here, which completely
wrecked the barn and stable belonging

Among the things mentioned by the
editor ofthe Blacksburg Dispatch as
things he would like to see is, "trains
running on the Augusta Division of
the Three C's railroad" There are
some more Of US who would like to see
the same thing. Every time we have
heard from the progress on this division
of this'road the news was encouraging,
and large force would be on the work
within thirty days. Mr.. Urquhardt
passed through here some time ago and
said everything was all right now, and
within thirty or sixty days large
force Of hands would be put on the
work between here and Union, and in
fact all along the line. His time is not

4 good deal has been written in the
newspapers in this State lately abusive
and otherwise of General Wana-
maker and some of the postoffice ap-
pointlnents. We like to see justice
done to all persons and even to one
who belongs to different political
party. It seems to US very natural
thing for Republican administration
to appoint a Republican postmaster at
such places as Columbia and Newberry,
and if they can find a competent per-
son we do not believe we as Democrats
have any business making fuss about
it, for Democrats would likely appoint
Democrats. As long as there are
different political parties in this coun-
try we may expect the principal Offices
in the gift Of the administration to be
filled by men of the same political faith
as the party in power. Of course as
business men, the men of any commu-
nifty and all political parties, have a
right to demand Of any party in power
the efficient administration of public
Offices, and lfan incompetent official
is put in it is our duty to make COM
plant. The Democrats would expect,
If the administration was in the hands
that Democrats should
fll-the 0rsaes. II
Now.that the Rcrublicansare i'll power
we do not think that there should be
such abuse Of General Wauamaker
because he is endeavoring to find Re-
publicans to fill such Offices as the Co.
lnmbia postoftice. The trouble with
General Wanamaker in these parts,
as has been suggested, is that the Re-
publican material is so poor and scarce
from which 10 make the selection.
