Arranging to Rescue the G. A. d W.
and Run it to Saluda.
The Charleston correspondent OF the
Columbia State says: Col. Mike Brown
is making strenuous effort to pull the
defunct Greenwood, Anderson and
Western road out of its trouble, and
when the road is sold at Sievern on the
9th of December, it is said he Will buy
it in. 1t is learned on very good au-
thority that Col. Brown has formed
company consisting of some OF Saluda
countys most substantial citizens and
number OF gentlemen in Charleston,
who will proceed at once to complete
the road as was intended for the char
ter. As the road now stands 1t can be
completed and stocked for about S20O, :
600 and it is learned hat this amount
has been subscribed. More than thls
amount has been spent on the road, and
Judge Simonton's decree fixing the
minimum bid at Sl5, 900 is considered
one of the best pieces of luck that could
have happened to the company.
From a local railroad man it wes
learned that Col. Brown intends to con-
meet Barnwell with the Southern near
Batesburg.
The completion of the road will open
up one of the best sectionsl IN this State.

Special Services at Coming Annual
Methodist Conference.
The Epworth Lacquer contains the
following information of concern to
many Of the younger Methodists OF the
State:
Those in charge Of the programme
for the South Carolina anaual confer
ence at Florence iI December, have
yerv kindly consented to give US a
special session for the discussion OF
league work. We hope to have the very
best talent among our ministers and
leacuers to give short and practical
talks in behalf of the league work, and
trust to have the work SO placed before
our pastors that all will be impressed
with the fact that the league needs their
cooperation and support, not that we
would have them burdened with all Its
details, but to lead in the organization,
to encourage every move on the part OF
the young people in their efforts Tor the
church.
1--WE are unable at present to nams
the speakers, but we hope to set Bishop
Duncan to open the subject. And to
follow him will be Prof. Snyder, OF
Wofford College, DR.. Rice, Of Colum'
bia Female College, Rev. w. W. Dan.
iel. of Columbia; DR.. j. Thomas Pate,
of Camden, Rev. E. O. Watson. Of
Orangeburg, and others.

HOLD COTTON.
Advice of Mr. Miller, Just Returns
From Europe.

Advice of Mr. Miller, Just Returns
From Europe.
Walter T. Miller, treasurer of the New
York cotton exchange, who returned
from Europe few days ago, made the
following statement concerning the
cotton market abroad:
81 found the general situation with
regard to trade and commerce favorable
and by no means unsatisfactory, as un-
derstand has been the impression in
America for the past month or two.
Certainly in England and on the CONT
nent just the contrary was the case. As
to the prices of manufactured goods, 81
course buyers decline to buy long stocks
as long as the South persists in offer
ing cotton down. When enough of the
cotton is marketed to relieve the pro
ducer and he feels able to hold some
cotton, buyers of manufactured goods
and traders in cotton will probably be
anxious to invest in both.

A "Oueer" Preacher.

The Rev. Mr.. Hasamore, to whose
memory slab has been placed in the
church at Catshoge, Leicestershire,
England. was "a little queer" says
the st. Louis Republic. 1t seems
that the reverend gentleman died in
January, 1886, leaving all Of his prop
erty, valued at $500, to a railroad
porter.
The queer old preacher kept one
servant of each sex, whom he locked
up every night. His last employment OF
an evening was to go the rounds OF his
premises, let loose the dog and fire of
his gun. He lost his life in curious
manner. Starting out to let out his
servants, the dogs fawned upon him
and threw him into q pond of water.
The servants heard his cries, but be-
ing locked up could not render assist
ance, SO the old man drowned.
When the inventory Of his property
was taken he was found to be the
owner Of so gowns, 100 pairs of trou-
sers, 100 pairs of boots, 400 pairs OF
shoes, s. wigs (although he had plenty
of natural hair, so dogs, 96 wagons
and carts, 80 wheelbarrows, 249 razors,
50 ploughs, so saddles and 222 pick
axes and shovels. He surely was "a
little queer"

Mr.. Edwards wanted something more

Mr.. Edwards wanted something more
than talk, and Mr.. Hepp wanted
,,peeches limited. Mr.. Edwards wanted
the previous question. DIR. Stokes sala
he knew nothing about the koddey
plan, but wanted cooperation ABOVE
ali.
Mr. Roddey states that he had not
asked that any plan be endorsed, but
was simply called upon to talk. but Il
the farmers wanted any relief they
would have to form a trust.
Senator Butler asked if he could not
say a word. He thought that from bis
experience that nothing would be &C
complished without the forming OF a
committee to prepare some organized
business and that he thought MIR. Ed
wards motion should be adopted. This
should be done and would not conflict
with DIR. Stokes' resolution. The mo-

horse trades appear to have more than
their share. A new dodge in that line

In the meantime the hotel man had not

Globular Lightning.

Many scientists have doubted the ex-
istence in fact of globular lightning,
attribnting the existence to some kind
of optical delusion. Professor Rigi,
Of Bologna. however, announces that
he has produced it artifcially, and
that not only has he succeeded in
making it's motion slow enough to be
followed by the eye, but has been
able in certain cases TO obtain lumi-
nous masses which actually remained
stationary for sufficient time to be
photographed.
