1t is stated that Deacon J. W. Con-
verse, of the First Baptist Church in
Boston, died worth $8,000,0O0 and left
not one dollar to any BENEVOLENT instltu,
| tion. We don't understand it. The kind
of religion that allows man to heap up
| SS. 900, 900, and die without doing any
thing for the cause of Christ must be
singulary defective. Mr.. Converse leaves
| but two children and no great business to
be carried on. He did not die right. The
pulpit and the press ought to say 30,
says the Christian. Inquirer.
| Pickens county is having some con-
fusion in organizing the new board OF
county com missioners. Some of the ap-

their township commissioners. Pickens
county was exempted from this act.
| The PERSONS refusing to serve here take
| the position that It is unjust to be requir-
ed to serve the public and get no pay for
their services.

"A remarkable although not unpre-
| writer to the London Times. At
| whist party in a country house two
packs OF cards had been alternately used
for six rounds of the first rubber in Its
proper order. One of them was shuft1ed, i,
cut and dealt for the seventh round. The
| dealer turned the three of hearts. A
prolonged pause followed, which was not
| unnatural under the circumstances. The
dealer then remarked that 1t was unne-
cessary to play the cards out, and placed
| his on the table, disclosing every heart
| in the pack. The leading player then
put down whole suit of clubs, the sec
aud. that Of diamonds and the third all

The Yorkville Enquirer estimates
| that there are at least 100000 pounds Of
home-raised "meat' in York County,
and adds: "There is not much money in
the county now as at this time last year,
but considering the vast amount that
would have otherwise gone for meat the
surplus available for other purposes is as
great as it has been at any time during
the past five years. Another big crop of
meat will bel lp to still furthe improve the
| situation" The 100000 pounds repre-
sent about S5O.OO0. It would require
1000 bales Of scent cotton to buy so much
meat, and the profits on probably $4,000
bales. The county has made no mistake
evidently in raising its own meat this
wear, It should have meat to sell next
year, and probably will.
One of the most complete Illicit stills
| which has ever been discovered has just
been captured on small island in the
Z
q. The still has been operated for over
thiity-two years without The secret OF it's
locality being discovered, though numer-
GUS attempts have been made for that
purpose. The still was located in an ex-
cayation in the island, which could only
be reached by diving under water and
swimming to an opening in the bank
under about five feet of water. The place
was finally located by setting watch on
tho island, and remaining there in con-
cealment until the parties came, and their
method of ingress and egress was discov-
cred. After they left with some of their
Illicit liquor, one of the revenue officers
dived under water, found the entrance
and reported to the others. They soon
dug q hole into the cave and lay in wait
for the return OF the men, whom they
captured one at time, as they emerged
from the water within the room. Sew
eral hundred gallons Of liquor were
found, and one Of the most impregnable
fortresses OF the Illicit business broken
up. The cave was built during the war,
and was used even then for distilling,
and for retreat for deserters from the
southern army.
