The health of the community Is very
good at this writing, although the measles
have been holding full sway for some
time.
Mr.. James L. Gable, who has been sick
for the last three or four months, we are
glad to say is able to be out again.
We attended preaching at Vsrennes last
fourth Sunday, and heard a very interest
ing sermon by Rev. II. c.. Fennel, a former
pastor Of that church. Rev. J. o Wilson,
the present pastor, has siguifed his inten.
ton of resigning the fourth Sunday in
March. Mr.. Wilson Is beloved by all,
and 1t is hoped that he will continue to
preach at that place.

Is visiting the family of Mr.. J B. Leverett.
Mr.. L e. Stephenson and family, from
near Lowndesville, have moved into our
community and are occupying the house
formerly occupied by Mr.. a. J. Hall.
judging from the amount of guano that
is being hauled, we think there will be as
much cotton planted this yesr as ever,
which is another step towards hard times,
and will continue to ba so until cotton Ia
made a surplus crop. We think the best
plan for the farmer now Is to raise plenty
Of corn, wheat, oats, potatoes. and certain
~ plenty OF meat at home, and not let the
rise in cotton this last fall cause him to
plant another large crop of cotton and get
four and five cents for It. OhEah.

= Two or three weeks ago, in the city

Two or three weeks ago, in the city
of Augusta, q revival Service wa in prog"
rass in one Of the Protestant churches--sl
Baptist Church, we believe-and at the,
same time a corresponding service was
going on in one of the Roman Catholic
churches. The Protestant minister and
the Catholic priest prayed for each other
and for the promotion Of the good cause
in which each was engaged in his own
way. The last number of the Methodist
Christian ADVOCATE OF Nashville, contains
r. Lamturth, who has been raising mon
ey for the relief of the suffering Armenian
Christians. Mr.. Lambuth incorporates
in his letter a note he had received from
Father Gleason, of the Roman Catholic
Church in Nashville, in which he says:
II am heartily in accord with you in
every effort to relieve the unfortunate
Armenians. Shall I appeal to MY people
to remit the amount to you, or have you
any other practical way to suggest? '
Mr.. Lambuth adds: "Our Roman Cath
olic brother has lust sent his check for
$3.50, with kind wishes that our efforts
at relief may be crowned with success"
AS Mr. Lambuth says, this sis suggestive
of that broader sympathy which in Chris
tian lands liz steadily growing out of q
community Of interest born of God,
which draws men together in common
brotherhood"

bullet entered the wall of the heart and
came almost entirely through, remaining

the heart. In this shape Crisis lived forty
eight hours. Two bullets had entered

Sam Jones Talks Oh the Dispensary
Law

Rev. Sam P. Jones is no admirer of the
South Carolina Dlspensary law as his
sermon yesterday afternoon ven to show.
Mr.. Jones arrived In the city from Rock
ELL at 1880 and went Immediately to the
Columbia Female College, where he re-
manned during the day. A number of
ministers of the city representing all de-
nominations called at the College and
had q short talk with tho noted evangelist
on religious work.
Mr.. Jones was laughing and chatting
very pleasantly with several visitors
when a Register reporter called shortly
after his arrival and asked for an inter-
view. He has changed somewhat since
he was in Columbia last, and his hair is
quite gray around the edges. Mr.. Jones
looked careworn from his hard labor for
the past few months, but vas apparently
in tie best of spirits. He was asked to
give his opinion On the workings Of the
state Dispensary. He said:
THE law a. first was an experiment,
of course, and the regulation of prohibit
ton and the determination of the liquor
traffic has been a problem that has been
vexing good men for some time. I have
watched with interest the States which
have constitutional prohibition the States
with local option ; and the States which
have the best excise laws for the control
Of the traffic; and lastly the South Caro-
lima Dispensary law. I believe that
whiskey is a good thing in its place and
I believe its place is in Hell and I shall
never drink any nor c~ountenance the sale
of any under any law this side of He'll.
"The only difference between the Dis
pensary Law and the open saloons, as I
see it, is the method of dealing out the
damnable stuff. Whatever may be the
good intentions Of the persons with whom
the Dispensary idea originated, already
it is beginning to 60 to seed in South
Carolina. I understand that this sover-
eign State is advertising its liquor and
pushing its business. As I see it, the
salaries of the Dispensers must be deter
mined by the largeness of their sales. IF
this be true the State is dealing in 1t for
the money that is in it, and whenever the
State does deal in it for the money, then
a bull-neck, white apron saloon keeper
is q gentleman beside the State of South
Carolina.
~ am for determination rather than
regulation of the liquor traffic, for you
can 10 more regulate the sale so that men
will not be %debauched, boys ruined, wives
murdered, children %butchered and homes
made desolate, than you can regulate
cholera by a license system of legislative
enactment, or any more than you can
regulate the ravsges of hydrophobia
through the same channel. The profit
and beverage question will damn the
South Carolina Dispensary in the eyes of
all God-fearing men. How any profess
ed Christian can stand behind the counter
and deal out liquor in the name CT his
State as a beverage for his fellow citizens
of all good people, I cannot understand,
and he'll be a frying in He'll before his
feet get cold, in my candid opinion."-

Dispensary Constables Shot.

WALHALLA, FEB. 2S.-Special To-
night at II o'clock, while Dispensary
Constables Jenkins, Of Darlington fame,
and Redmond were on their way to the
county Jail they were stopped by q posse
of unknown men and fired upon.
About twenty shots were fired in rapid
succession. Both of the constsbles fell
and are badly wounded. Jenkins was
in the left hand, taking off one fin.
ger and lodging in the wrist, also through
one arm. Another ball passed through
the calf of the right leg, and still another
from a shotgun in the back.
Redmond received several shotgun
loads in the right arm and side, with a
variety of pistol balls, and left wrist, and
is thought to be MORALLY wounded.
1t is now thought four men did the
shooting. Neither Jenkins nor Redmond
returned the fire, as they were outnum-
bered. and they made every effort to get
to the Jail. Both constables say they re-
cognize the men who fred upon them.
DR.. J. w. Bell was called at once, but
no particulars can belearned further than
above stated,

He Saved the Child.

SPARTANBURa, Feb. 27.-About IL
o'clock yesterday as one Of the Southern's
freight trains had Just started South,
Engineer II. NJ. Hunter, as the engine
turned a curve about TWO miles from town
saw a small negro child apparently asleep
on the track. Mr.. Hunter realized that
it would be impossible for him 10 stop his
engine.
In q moment he shut off the steam and
jumped to the ground 1t was then a race
between the engine and the noble man
as to which would first reach tho innocent
negro child who lay asleep on the track.
The locomotive lost none ofits momentum
and Mr.. Hunter strained everv nerve I'd
keep up with 1t and pushed ahead Of it.
Just as The ponderous wheels we're about
to crush the victim, he jumped forward,
caught the child, and the two were
knocked to the side of the track. The
child was unhurt, but Mr.. Hunter re-"
ceived severe injuries on the left hip

the producer is in the way of getting q
higher price. This in its turn will be all
incentive to still further improvement.
In making any changes in his methods
the farmer should be careful to make
these gradually, so that his customers
may get used to them by degrees. Then
the improvement will please them,
whereas any abrupt changes will cause
dissatisfaction.
In view of the present low prices the
question of over-production looms up.
The Western producer is not sending his
butter here out Of pure love for the o n
sumner down by the sea, 80 that it looks as
If there will be profits for the South Car
olina dairy farmers who are trying to
keep abreast with the times. On account
of the present low prices of butter efforts
are being made to increase our export
trade.
More of the invigorating and life-sus-
tanning liquid, milk, should be used by
our people, both on account of its whole
someness and comparative cheapness
when produced at home. No farm house
table is complete without a generous
pitcher of milk, and its value in pro-
viding material for the formation of bone
and muscle in our growing boys and
girls can scarcely be over estimated.
Where there appears to be a surplus OF
milk beyond what the family can o n
sumo, it is worth while to consider the
advisability of making cheese from a
portion. One of our State Senators writes
me by to-day's mail: by your process
rs given in Bulletin No. 10, my wife has
been making very fine cheese, and che
wishes to continue as long as our COWS
are in milk"
The price received for the butter is only
q fraction of the eturns from the co W.
The natural increase, the manure, with
the accompanying enrichment of the
farm, and the skim and buttermilk are
to be included in the account, and it is
the more OF less skillful handling of these
products that will determine the profit

A Small Exodus to Africa.

SAVANNAH, GA, Feb. 27.-The steam
ship Laurada, the arrival Of which has
been anxiously awaited for several days
by three hundred negro emigrants on
their way to Liberia, has just been re-
ported at quarantine. She will remain at
anchor in Tybee Roads tonight, and,
after passing the quarantine inspection
in tho morning, will come up to the city.
The Laurada's connection with the recent
flibustering schemes caused the suspic
ion. when she failed to reach here, that
she had gone to Cuba. She will take on
her cargo of emigrauts at once and will
probably sail tomorrow night for Mon
royia.

It is served in driblets at frequent inter-
