lost, attention was called to the
manifest evidences Of decay md
delapidation of the old church, and
it wasssuggested that the time vas
speedily coming, when new edi-

a plan was also suggested, OF secur-
ing annual payments OF stipulated
amounts, so far as possible, and
when paid into the Treasury, the

aid in raising fund to erect good
and suitable building, and that no
no expense be incurred until there
was a sum sufficient in the
Treasury to erect an edifce that
would be in keeping with the age
and surroundings, which would
require at least ten years time.
No action was taken on the sub

The Pastoral year begins on the
first of October. Last year the
salary was fixed at $4,000. AT the
close of the year the salary was
paid, and there was a surplus OF
$2716. By order of the Session
this amount was placed as a fund
for the employment OF ministers tc
supply the pulpit in the necessary
absence of the Pastor. From thi:
fund there was paid to Rev. w. J
Trimble, d. d., $1,000, for his sell

to the Treasurer by order of tn,

This leaves $1216 in the Treasury
on this account.
AT the beginning of this Pastora
year the salary of the Pastor wa
advanced by the the session an,

to be able to report that our week.,

decided advance in the matter {

THE KELLEY INSTITUTE.
Twelve Years of Established
Merit-A Warning.

To THE PUBLIC: AS a rnatter OF
justice to ourselves and to the rep
utation of Dr.. Leslie E. Keeley's
Double Chloride Of Gold Rene
dies, for the cure of the liquor,
opium, morphine, and tobacco dis
eases, and Neurasthenia, we warn
the public that these remedies are
used by no institution or santa
rum in the United States except
those established by our company,
under the uniform name of 'The
Kelley Institute"
All others claiming to use DR..
Keeley's Remedies or formula are
frauds and impostors.
The Kelley Institutes establish
edin various parts of the United
States now number ninety, with
three in Europe, where the Keeley
Treatment is administered and the
Kelley Remedies sold. We, how
ever, caution all to examine we'll
and know that they are dealing
with genuine representatives, au-
thorized by us, before taking treat
ment or purchasing remedies.
The misleading establishments
use the name of aBi-Chloride of
Cold" or similar titles. The news
papers often fail to discriminate
sufficiently to know that they are
imitators. This is matter of pub
| lie welfare, and hence this wan

District Conferences, Their Pur'
poses and Uses.

The Columbia District Confer
ence will convene in Edgefeld
July 9Th and continue in session
for four days.
The Introductory sermon will
be preached by the Rev. R. e.
stackhouse on Wednesday night.
Some fifty lay and twenty cleri-
cal delegates compose this confer
ence. They will come from Fair
field, Richland, Orangeburg, Lex
ington, Aiken, and Edgefeld coun-
ties.
1t is probable that a Bishop will
preside. Rev. John G. Kilgo, will
be here as the representative of
Wofford College. DR.. Sam B. Jones
and Rev. Marion Dargan will be
present and represent the Colum-
bia Female College. Rev. Geo. w.
Walker, president of Payne Insti-
tute, Augusta, Ga, will attend.
DR.. w. D. Kirkland, the valiant
editor of our conference organ, the
Southern Christian Advocate, will
make his first visit to Edgefeld.
This conference is, perhaps, near
er like Mr.. Wesley's original con-
ferences or Conversations" than
any other meeting of the church.
Careful inquiry is made into the
spiritual condition of the charges
of the district. The whole terri
tory is carefully scanned with a
view to ascertaining if there is
any unoccupied ground where a
mission might be proftably estab-
lished. Moral wastes in this way
are discovered, which often under
good cultivation, yield a large har-
vest. The District Conference is
one of the best forms of Sunday
School Conventions. Special in
quiry is made'sas to Sunday-schools

THEKEELEY INSTITUTE.
Endorsed BY The. S Govern
ment.

The efficacy of DR.. Leslie E.
Keeley's Double Choloride of
Gold Remedies has been SO pub
licly acknowledged and thoroughly
recognized throughout the civilized
world, that the recent endorsement
by the Government removes all
questions of doubt as to their
virture and genuineness. On
February 13, 1892, General w m.
B. Franklin, President Of the Board
of Managers of the National
Military Homes for Disabled
Soldiers and Sailors, authorized a
contract with The Leslie r. Keeley
Co for the use of DR.. Keeley's
Remediesin the seven Natinal
and twenty-one State Homes in the
United States.

Mr.. EDITOR: The wheel of time

forbidden apple q can't ascertain
whether each had an apple, OF
whether they both ate off the same
apple.) If Adam were like men
are now, I guess he ate of the
same apple, and tried to Lite it
right in the same place where Eve
did at that. But what I wish to
say is, that ever since the eating
of the apple, this wheel of time
has been running over stumps,
rocks, and everything else un.

Blood and Brains will Tell.

The following from the Nash
vile Sunday news gives an account
of family Of Edgefeld Jenningses
in. Tennessee:
Tennessee plays an important
part iu the affairs of government
under Grover Cleveland's second
administration. Some of the most
lucrative and responsible positions
that have been given out have
fallen to Tennessens. One of the
latest appointments was that of
Mr.. T. E.. Jennings to the very
difficult and therefore com
plimentary position of Bank Ex-
aminer of the Pacific Coast States.
Mr.. Jennings is son of Prof.
R. w. Jennings, president of
jennings Business College, Of this
city, and received his business
training i'll the counting-room of
his father.
Prof. Jennings certainly has just
cause to feel proud of his children.
Eight months ago R. w. Jennings,
Jr., was elected attorney general
of the Port Townsend district of
Washington, over the strongs st
man that could be brought into
the race against him; three months
age in France his daughter, in a
contest where representatives of

The Sunday Times doffs the hat

to the professor in cordial
greeting.
The Daily American in speaking
of the late appointment has this
to say:
"Comptroller Eckless has ap-
pointed Thos. e. Jennings, son
of Mr.. R. w. Jennings, of this
city, to the position of Bank
Examiner of the Pacific Coast
States. The position is not only
one of great responsibility, but
lucrative, being worth $4,000 a
year. Young Jennings received
his training in the counting-room
of his father, and together with
his brother, Robert W., moved to
Washington State several years
age. The latter is now attorney
general for the Port Townsend
district. The success of the
brothers has been remarkable, and
is the source Of pleasant knowledge
to the many friends whom they
left in their old home"

Of the 10TH;

has appointed Tho. E. Jennings

tion of National Bank Examiner

Mr.. EDITOR: On last Friday
Miss Lizzie Eubanks invited the
patrons of her school to public
examination Of her pupils, on
which occasion she established be-
yond doubt that her labors in the
school room had borne excellent
fruit. twas especially gratifying
to hear the examination and con-
tests in spelling from theNprimary
grades through intermediate to the
advanced classes. Following this
wa an examination in history.
We were carried from the
discovery of America up to the
firing on Fort Sumter, and
through that contest in magma
ton; watched Columbus and his
crew as they sailed from Palos
and commenced their voyage on
the great ocean, mare sa'cognstasa''.
Then we saw the settlements made
by the Spaniards, French, and
English, down to the declaration
of independence, etc.
Mr.. Editor, to say the examine
ton in history was good is but
faint praise. We could but notice
the eagerness of the class in this
study. Misses Alice Robertson
and Emma Jones and Master
Wallace Holson. AS the questions
were put to them their hands went
up simultaneously, and they were
at no loss for words to explain
every detail.

with practical information with
reference to the work and needs OF

The financial and temporal In
terests of the church receive 9
large share of attention. By in
telligent comparison of methods
the most efficient systems of church
finances are developed.
The social power belonging to
this gathering is fact of no little
Importance. Laborers in the Lords
vineyard meet in hallowrd COM
munion and fellowship and thus
strengthen each others hands.
The moral and religious infu-
ence Of the conference is good to
the use of edifying upon the COM
munity where it assemblies. Our
discipline provides that aat these
conferences prominence shall be
given to religious exercises, such
as preaching, prayer meetings,
love-feasts, and the administration
of the sacraments.''
That the happlest results may
attend this gathering of the Mas
ter's servants, especially to our be-
loved town and the territory i'm
