The Easley Messenger says: "We no.
tice that under the preaching of Rev. L.
L. Picket, and Rev. H. s. Abbott and his
wife, Wesleyan Methodist Church has
been established at Anderson @. 81. with
thirty.five members. Among the MEM
bers we notice the name Of Mr.. J. A.
Brissey, who was raised in this County,
aud was for great while the miller at
Bowen's mill. He Is a good man, and
was member of the Antioch Methodist
Church in this County for quite number
OF years. We venture the assertion that
this new Wesleyan Church has been
formed almost entirely from converts
from other Churches, and that very few OF
tho members of the new organization was
taken from the ranks of the old he fellow.
There are quotations OF scripture which
apparently comes in right here. We will
name them: Ephesians iv-1iv, and He
breWs xiii-xix."

The report of the Director of tho Mint, giving estimates of the stocks of gold and silver iA the United States at the end of each fiscal year is instructive, and completely refutos the assertion that the stock of gold ia this country has been seriously depleted. In fact, it shows that our supply of gold in 1873 was bat Sl35, GOO, 900, while on the 1st of May, 1893, it is estimated at $Gl3, O42, 879-a gain in twenty years of SAYS, ,O72, S79! The only years when thsre was more gold in the United States than now was durihg the six years last preceding, and the groatost amount ever held here was in 1888, which was estimated at S705, SIS, ,855. The alarming factor in our financial condition to the Eastern monometallists is the silver bugaboo, the increased coinage of the white metal, or rather, the government purchases of silver, for it is all retained in the Treasury in the shape of bullion. The total stock of silver is given at S6O6, 901, 2l6, which is less than tho stock of gold. What We need is tho free coinage of silver, which will bo put into circulation and increase the volume of money.

The conflict between religious fanat- ics of the class who turned tho eye of authority upon ladies who wore veils, in Massachusetts ia 1884, which Cotton Mather preached twas not to le tolera- ted, as vsils were n token of submission to husbands in an unscriptural degree. snd tho more rational class who how object to yelling the works of art and naturo's hapdiwork by closing the doors of the Worlds Fair on Sunday has been decided, temporarily at least, in favor of the rational majority, as indicated by the following dispatch from Chicago, dated May 29th; On application of stocllhOlder 0lingmaa, Judge Stoin, of the Superior Court, this morning issued temporary in junction restraining the directors of the Worlds Fair from closing the gates on Sundays.
 Tho suit on which the iniunction was granted was filed by ClingmaR, several weeks ago as a stookholder in the expo sition and as a citizen; this proceeding in the State court is entirely distinct from the action begun Saturday by the United States Attorney in the Federal court. Judge Stein held that Congress had made no law compelling Sunday closing.

 appointed committee of nine to pull the wool over the eyes of the visiting statesmen, in regard to the advantages to inure to Arizona by admitting her as a star in the galaxy of twinklers of sovereign States. The burden of the song which will stillo the ears of the Senators is that "the Territory has now sufficient wealth and population to am. ply maintain a State, which will be the refrain as suggested by Mir. Jerry Millay ct the meeting above referred to. The submission of financial facts and figures, population and assessed value of property to the Senators was not suggested by Mir Millay, or by any other member of that assembly or the further fact that the Territorial treasury is in arrears and unable to meet current demands, Facts, not yafTy, is what the occasion demands.

The coffers of the christian churohin Phmnix have been replenished by an auction sale of ladies. From reported prices paid we are bouad to conclude they went dirt cheap, or that they were an inferior lot. The Gazette boasts that its representative brought moro than all the rest, who was knocked down for Sll, but does not say whether for cash or approved country produce, leaving it to be inferred that either despised silver or alfalfa was the me- dium of exchange.

A Washington, D C., dispatch of May 27th saya; Owing to the small amount of gold bullion deposited, about Sl00, 900 per month, and the heavy ex- penso of coinage at the United States mint at Carson City, Nevada, Secretary Carlisle has directed the suspension of coinage operations at that mint from and after the lst proximo.

Others interested in the matter to meet
In the court house next Saturday tor
the purpose of electing delegates to
the sta t convection referred TO by j..
f Hvllingsworth III his letter in when,
among other thlugs,he says:
AT the solicitation of the farmers,
merch auts, members of the legislature
and others / AN induced to call a state
convention for the purpose of taking
some action to ittluence farmers OF
the state and the south to plant less
cotton the coming seeson, also TO vary
their crops"
IL will designate Austin as the
pl ce for the convention and fix the
time on the 10th of March. There are
ample hotelaccommodations in Austin
and a suitable hall will be furnished
and every attention will be shown the
delegates"
Every ciizsn, regardless of occu'
patton, trade or profession, is
IN crested in this effort to decrease
the cotton acreage, and permit me to
urge upon every one to take hand
and encourage the largest possible at
tendance at the county conventions
and to see that large and represen.
ia'ive delegation is sent TO the state
convention in order that the wishes
and sentiments of the agricultural
interests may be reflected in its
action"

which will be nothing more nor less

The letter of Mr.. Hollingsworth
concludes by urging active agitation
of the matter, and that it be given
close attention. 1t is very likely that
some steps will be taken to decrease
the enormous cotton acreage, and
prevent decline in the market, which
would prove disastrous to all tho
farmers in Texas who plant cotton.
