really so, but he that thinks himself
the wisest, is generally the greatest

1t may be remarked for the COM

Elmer T. Sdllars, a painter who for
merly worked with Walter Joseph OF
our city, is 1 ow located at Chester,
South Carolina, and In writing under
date of the 24th of November, he does
not seem to Admire the way the busi-
ness ia carried on at that place, as he
is the only white man engaged in
house painting, the work generally
being done by colored men.
He says the carpenters do all their
finishing inside of house before the
plastt ring is done. and when they come
to paint it is q mess He gets $l.50
per day and bDard, while colored men
get only 75 cents and 81 per day. He
says that they have had but one or two
frost thus fRr this season, and the
people tell him that it rarely gets much
colder during the winter.
He says the country is in bad shape,
as the people raise little but cotton,
and tho crop this year Is failure. As
consequence money is scarce, and
times are dull The farmers are all
colored men and they arc too lazy to
work.
Good turnehtlne sells at 80 cents per
gallon by the barrel, and lead at and
s cents per p Dund. He thinks he will
go farther South. at least visit Geor.

The Christian Advent,

AT st. Johns Church Rev John A.
Stanton, of Brooklyn, N. Y, discussed
advent. The Beginning and the Chris
tian Year" The church recognizes the
necessity Of keeping the great church
festivals before the people. Beginning
with Advent we may be better prepar-
ed for the second coming OF Christ. On
Christmas day we are joyful at HIS
coming, and few days later we cele-
brate his circumcision. Next is his
manifestation to the Gentiles. Then
we find him tempted like as we are;we
dwell upon his sufferlngs byvoluntary
sacrifice In the last week Of Lent we
follow Him step by stepin Ills passion.
From the cross we are led on to the
selpulchre. until Easter morn the
whole land cries: He Ia risen and has
become the first fruits of them thai
slept" For fortysdays He Is upon tho
earth after the resurrection. Then
comes His ascension into Heaven. The
day Of Penteeost, Whitsun-day, is the
next festival. This is followed by
Trinity Sunday, upon which special
recognition is made of the mysterious
trinity in the unity and unity in the
trinity.
There are congregations before
which some of these topics are never
presented, except incidentally. But In
our church it is impossible for regular
attendants to miss ono point In the
whole life of Christ. Let us make this
the first day of the Christian year, the
day upon which to make our good
resolutions for the future. Let US be
resolved to be more attentive upon
our church duties, more kind to our
family, be more liberal In contributing
for the spread of the Gospel, and -.
solved that another advent will find
us deyoting more of our time and
labor to Christ"

1t is said that Mr. Howells, who is
perhaps the foremost of living Ameri-
can novetists, has long had in mind a
story OF American girl-liFe, which he
believes will be the best piece OF work
he has ever done. The great novelist
has now been induced to write out tho
story. and at present he is ut work upon
it. 1t is novel unlike any which MIR.
Howolls has ever written 1t deals en-.
tirely with the struggles OF Western
girl who goes to New York, and the
story will have about it all the flavor
which attaches to tale of city life with
young girl as the central heroine
Heretofore all OF Mr.. Howells' novels
have gone to the Harpers, but this spe-
eiul girls novel will be printed during

Philadelphia, the publishers of which
have bought the exclusive rights to the
story from Mr.. Howells, The novel IL

sunarior Court.

As Judge Cullen was late in arriving,
this mornings session Of the Superb
OF Court was not opened until 10
O'Clock. The Chief Justice was not
present. Several of the general jurors
did not answer to their names, when
Benjamin Nields, Esq, who has case
ready for trial. objected to taking it
up without a full panel, and was in
formed by Judge Cullen that they
were excused.
MIR. Nields asked that the case of
Annie Marie Williams vs, The Walton
y Whann Company, and that Selma
Hummel VS. the same company, be
continued until the February term, on
account of the absence of material
witness. Mr.. Prlckett, who appears
with L. O Nandegrift for the plaintiffs
In each case, objected on the ground
that they were ready for trla and that
MIR. Nields should bring alildavits to
support his assertion.
Francis n Buck member of tho
defendant firm, testified that mater
ial witness for the defense was absent
from the State, and that they could
not go to trial safely without him.
The Court then continued tho case
until February, and issued a rule that
1t should be tried at that time.
jury was then drawn to try the
case of Susanna Etheridge vs. Hannah
llennett's executors, with Benjamin
Nields for tho plaintiff and William S.
Hilles for the defendants.
This case is an appeal from the de-
cision OF the register OF Wills, and is
to see II the paper executed April 8,
| 1889, is the last will and testament of
Hannah Bennett. She came to this
country from England many years
ago, and when she died this year, was
about so years OF age.
She WAS married twice, and during
her life accumulated property valued
at from $1,000 to $4,000. She had a
brother living in New York but the re-
latious between them We're not cor
dial. After her second husbands
death she boarded around from place
to place but had no settled home.
Some two years ago, a niece, the
daughter of sister, of whose exist
ence Mrs Bennett was unaware, came
to this city in search of her aunt
Upon finding her weak and dcbilitat,
ed,s sne persuaded her TO go TO tlren-
ton aud live with her. Not being sat.
iStied there, the niece brought her bacli
to this city, and cared for her until her
death. On April 8, 1882 Mrs, Bennett
unde a will, in which she left all her
propertyto her neco. without any res.
ervation. She owned some property
for which William J. Fisher collected
the rents, and Vim. NJ. Pyle also trans
acted some business for her
In January. 1890, she made another
will, IN which all her property, except
one twelfth, was left to Messrs. Fisher
and T. le. MIR, Niclds in his opening,
claimed that this will was drawn ur
by Fisher, and that il Mrs. Bennett
signed it at all, she did not know what
mot stand.
When he finished, the court, without
commencing the examination of wit
nesses, took a recess until 2.30 O'Clock
this afternoon.
