During tho session of tho Radical Con-
vontion in Columbia n resolution was
offered Suggesting" Judge A. G. Has
koll as q candidate for Governor. Tho
resolution was rcfer1ca! to tic St5ttt, Ex-
ccutivo Committee, which bot'y will
determine later whether nominations for
State officers will DO ma6o or not. 9
do not believe Judge Haskell will allow
his name to BIO used for any such rur-
pose. Judge Haskell is a Democrat, and
will be as true as steel to all that obliga-
ton demands or implies.
1t is understood that on or about the
first of October the Richmond and Dan
ville Railroad Company will put on a now
daily passenger train, which will run
from Columbia to Wallalla and return.
Tho schedule will be arranged to leave
Columbia about 6 o'clock in the morning,
arrive at Walhalla about noon, and re-
turn to Columbia about 10 o'clock at
night. This schedule will give us two
daily passenger trains from Walhalla to
Columbia, thus greatly facilitating travel
by rail. Such an arrangement will DO
greatly appreciated by cur citizens, as
well as the travelling public in general all
along the limo. 1t is believed that the
extra train will mako ono of the best
paying runs Oh tho road, and the COM
.,any will find it to their interest to mako
it perpetual.
The Methodist campmccting at Sandy
Springs in Anderson county began last
Thursday hight and closed Tuesday
morning, Tho attendance was quito
small oxcopt on Saturday and Sunday,
whom tho number present ran up into tho
thousands. -Four services wore held each
day, including the night service. The
following ministers were present: Roy.
j. Walter Dickson, Presiding Elder, Rev.
w. d. Kirkland, d. D., editor of the
Southern Christian Aduocatc, ROY. G. b.
Smith, Roy. G. V. Barnes, Rev. j. F.
Anderson, Rov. ]. N. Wright, Roy. John
Attaway, Row. Samuel Blackman and
Roy. McSwaino Attaway. All these scr
wants of God did earnest and faithful
preaching. There were not many con-
versions or additions to tho church.
This was tho siXty-third annual gathering
of tho Mcthodists on these historic
grounds. The war interrupted the meet
ings for three or fcnr gears, which if
added to tho meetings already held,
would make sixty-scvcn years since the
first campmcoting was held at this place.
AS usual at these meetings there was
some bad behaviour, occasioncd no doubt
from tho usc of too much whiskoy. 1t
is marvellous to us that young mon, and
old mon too, cannot attend these meetings
without carrying with them their bottle
or jug of rum. They ought to stay away
if they cannot do better. Let God be
honorod on all occasions and everywhere.
