LEXINGTON PRESBYTERY.
A Very Profitable and Enjoyable Meeting
Hid at Butter this Week.

Last week the Lexington Presby-
terry of the Cumberland Presbyter-
ian church held very interesting
session in this city beginning Tuesday
and ending Friday.
The question is often asked,
What is the difference between
Cumberland Prssbyterians and the
other Presbyterians?" The Stated
Clerk of the Prssbytery, Rev. s.
Finis King, has prepared the follow
ing statement in answer to the above
question:
"The organization of the Cum
bsrland Presbyterian church was
protest againstthe doctrin of election
and foreordination as taught in the
confession of faith of the PresbY-
terrain church. The doctrin of that
church was then, and is yet. that by
the decree of "God for the manifes-
tation of his glory, some men and
angels are predestinated unto ever.
lasting life, and others foreordained
to everlasting death, and the num-
Der of angels and men thus predes-
tinated and foreordained are psrticr.

definite that it cannot be either in.
creased or diminished" This 10
fatality. From it we dissent and |
say, "The atonemant was made for
all mankind; salvation is possible to
all, and that wHosoEvER WILL can be
saved" There is therefore a dis i
tinctive difference between the Pres
bytsrian and Cumberland Presby-
terrain church. One holds to the
doctrin of q LIMITED the other an
atonement. While the
Bible says, "wHosoEyER WILL MAY
COME" we shall not feel authorized

,hurch, nor ceags to preach it's I'm

In 1879 the Presbytery undertook
20 establish church in Kansas City.
A lot was purchased and a building
vas erected. Rev. j. E. Sharp, now
deceased, was missionary pastor for
Ibeut six years. After an interval,
Rev. B. P. Fullertot was chosen as
pastor in 1879. His energy and en-
husiasm at once inspired the Pres
'ytery to undertake large things

ELLERBE Would COMMAND.
Believes War With Spain is Almost
a Certainty.
TALKS FULLY ABOUT SITUATION
The ordey He Has Already Issued to
the STATE Volunteer Troops-Other
Preparations Being Made.

Governor Ellerbe few days since
gave out the following to the press:
Governor, what do you think OF the
prospect of war with Spain?"
"War is a very serious matter and
should not at any time be undertaken
except for special aid sufficient rea-
4. sons. If, however, the court OF inquiry
decides that the Spanish government is
responsible for the blowing up OF the
Maine it seems to me that war is in
evi.able. The dastardly act of taking
the lives of ESQ unsuspecting American
seamen while quietly asleep IL o
friendly port should not be treated
lightly by any nation of courage. The
conservative policy which has been
pursued by the administration is to be
much commended.
''If war be declared and you are
called upon what do you propose to
do?"
81 would order out the State troops
immediately"
"How many men could you put out
on short notice"
''I have about 5000 armed and
equipped, who would respond to o man
aud fight q circular saw to protect the
honor Of the American flag.
"Who will you putin command"
''If the troops Of my State are put in
the field / will take command myself.
I have ordered Adjutant-General Watts
to fully equip every company and direct
the captains to recruit their companies
to the numbers required.
The correspondent of the News and
Courier from Columbia says there was
considerable talk about Governor Eller-
be's statement that he would take COM
mand Of the troops of South Carolina in
the event of war being declared with
Spain. While Governor Ellerbe would
do whatever he was told by the Federal
authorities in the event of war, he is
satisfied that the Carolina troops would
all be used in the defencs of the Caro-
lima coast, and in that event he cslcu-
lates that the State militia would act as
Q body, under State control and with
State officers. In case the South Caro-
lima troops should volunteer in the reg
ular United States army Governor Ell.
lerbe could appoint himself colonel, and
all Of his appointments would have to
be of oolonels and officers under that
rank, the United States reserving the
right. to name all officers above the
rank Of colonel. Governor Ellerbe con-
tinues to receive offers from citizens
who want to serve in the army should
there be war. Thereare great many
in Columbia who think thereis no pros
psct of war, and that the more extern
sive the preparations the less the chance
of actual conflict

JUSTICE DONE IN NENBERRY.
Three White Men Convicted Of
Shameful Crime.
FATHER AND TWO SONS.
The Sons Sentenced to . Years In the
Penitentiary and the Father to 10
Months on the Chain Gang.

A special from Newberry to the News
and Courier, of the 12th, says: The
Pomaria case ended tonight in the
conviction of three parties tried at this
term of court. The mass Of testimony
occupied four full days. Arguments
were begun this morning, and three
speeches on each side occupied until 6
o'clock.
Judge Benet's charge occupied half
an hour, and embraced the law in the
case.
The jury retired at I o'clock and rem
dered verdict at $50.
Albert F. Rizer and William Rizer
were found guilty of housebreaking and
larceny, and sentenced to five years ald
one month in the penitentiary. Jas. A.
Rizer was found guilty Of receiving
stolen goods and was sentenced to
eighteen months on the chain gang or
eighteen months in the peDitentiary.
Judge Benet, in passing sentence.
said that he would not add one word to
the torture of the moment. Profound
silence prevailed in the court room
when the verdict was announced, and
before passing sentence each prisoner
made negative reply to Judge Benet's
question if they had anything to say
why sentence should not be passed.
Three white men, father with the
frost of si1ty-tive winters upon his
head, and two sons convicted OF q
grave crime presents sadly remark
able spectacle in this community.
The trial engrossed the whole OF pub
lie attention. and the verdict produces
q profound impression generally. The
other parties in Jail arrested in the Po-
maria case are to be tried at the sps.
cial term in April.

Household Hints.

Agate ware is not suitable for frying
or for the cooking Of fats.
Doughnuts or fritters are much better
fried in dripping than in lard.
In sweeping a carpet, remember al'
ways to sweep with the pile, and not
not against it.
The water in which thefresh tongue,
mutton or chicken is boiled may be
used for soup or added to the stock
pot.
Tablecloths are now being made OF
silk and have gained considerable
popularity among those who can at'
ford them.
For marking table and bed linen one
initial is preferred to monogram OF
two letters, and simple design to 8
more elaborate one.
A jar filler should belong to every
housekeeper who puts up preserves.
Only the best granulated sugar should
be used. Do not use cans made from
tin, but large-mouthcd glass jars.
A paint brush added to the house
maids stock of weapons in her jour.
ney with dust will be found most ef.
ficacious for routing that enemy from
mouldings, corners of the window sash
and crevices of the baseboards.
One of the simplest and most eff.
ficient means of driving away rats is
to set saucer of chloride of lime around
the places which they frequent. They
do not eat the lime, but its fumes are
very disagreeable to them and will re-
suit in their leaving the neighborhood.
Individual and exclusive tablecloths,
hemstitched, and with hemstitched
napkins to match, are found in great
variety of attractive patterns. For af-
ternoon teas and small tea tables the
best sized cloths are thirty-si1 by
thirty-six and ffty-four by ffty-four.
They may be had in finest damask as
we'll as in plain hemstitched effects.
An excellent calves foot jelly may
be made from the hind knuckle OF hook
in place of the feet. Indeed, many
give it the preference, thinking it has
o better taste, in making the tradi.
tional calves foot jelly, considered
specially palatable for invalids, one set
of feet or 'trotters" are allowed to one
gallon of water. This heated slowly
and simmered gently will give two
quarts of jelly.

plea For Salt Mackerel.

An authority makes a plea for the
rather maligned salt mackerel. 1t is
indigestible, and consequently dis.
liked, he asserts, because its prepara-
ton and also the method of eating are
not understood. The first point to be
insisted upon is its thorough freshen-
ing. There is no danger Of getting it
too fresh, because salt can always be
added; but there is the necessity OF
getting rid of traces of the curing pro.
cess. 1t should then be broiled, and
if it is plunged into boiling water for
an instant, after it is broiled, this
operation will plump it to an attrac-
tive appearance. It is better for be-
ing rubbed with little olive oil
rather than butter before broiling.
Just as it is sent to the table, lemon
juice is sprinkled over it and parsley
is put on the platter. No liquids
should be taken while the fish is being
eaten. It is the contrary custom, that
of slipping coffee, perhaps, after every
mouthful or two, that has given it the
reputation of an indigestible food,
while in reality it is a valuable one,
and useful addition to the breakfast
menu.-New York Post.

Columbia.
President Wilborn, of the State Alli-
ance, reports that the meetings Of the

Oakland, Clarendon County.
%Jef- Davis, colored, of the Alcolu
Lumber Mills, received some serious
wounds at the saw mill. One of the
saws struck him on the head, cutting
in twain both cheek and Jaw bones,
splitting open the skull on one side,
leaving the brain exposed. The left
chest was laid open, SO much SO that
the lungs can be seen. No hope for
his recovery. Immense quantities Of
commercial guano are being purchased
by farmers, indicating that there is to
be no decrease in the cotton acreage.
The acreage in sugarcane will be in
creased more than 100 per cent this
year as compared with last. Tobacco
culture is here to stay.
Spartanburg.
The smallpox talk has ceased. o.
casionally case of the "other thing"
is reported, but there are no fears of it
spreading. The people will have to
wait for the wise doctors at the next
meeting of the Medical Association to
tell them what that "other thing" is.
