A ftar fbs Railroad COmmIssiOn.

T. Larry CAN'T, who is now a con-
tributor to the Spartanburg Herald,
says: So far as our state railroad COM
mission is concerned, it is faud of the
first water. Unless change is made
in it's memberships, the commission had
better be abolished. When I ran my
saw mill near Inman, was made by
the commission to pay more than one
third the money I received for car
load of lumber for simply hauling 1t II
miles. I furnished the timber and cut
and hauled the logs from the woods to
nv mill. then carried the lumber two
miles and a half to the railroad on wa
CONS and had to both load and unload
it on and from the cars. All the rail-
road did was to couple up that car and
drag it II miles, and as have already
stated, the road took more than one
third of the gross proceeds Of my lum-
ber for this slight service. I complain
ed more than once to our board OF COM
about this outrage; but
nothing was done, and finally had to
sell my saw mill. The railroads not
only pay the salaries Of our board Of
railroad commissioners, but they are
furnished free transportation; and I
am told the members are often given
Palace cars stocked with liquid and
other refreshments with trained SER
wants to wait on them to cavort over
the state.

Saturday, March 80, 1901

People Of the neighborhood predicted
that the bridge would go with the first
freshet, and there was enough interest
IN the matter to give the commission
ers considerable concern. Upon his ar
rival in Yorkville Wednesday morning,
Commissioner Wilkerson at once set
out to see how the Lowry bridge had
stood the flood, and was gratified to
find that although the water had been
seven or eight feet above the flooring,
the bridge was still there.

MISSIONARY INSTITUTE.

The Missionary Institute Of the Rock
Hill (Methodist) district, held an inter,
esting meeting in Yorkville on Wed,
nesday and Thursday. The following
information about the institute ano
the work Of the meeting just held, has
been prepared for THE ENQUIRER by q
regular attendant:
The Missionary Institute" Is COM
paratively new thing among the Metho-
dists. 1t was inaugurated at the last
session of the quadrennial general con-
ference, three years ago at Baltimore
when it was provided that the presid-
ing elders should conduct, with the
preachers of their districts, missionary
institutes early in the conference year
with a view of considering various fea-
lures Of the cause Of Christian mission
ary work.
During two days Of the present week,
"wednesday and Thursday the insti-
tute of the Rock Hill district, covering
York, Chester, Lancaster and most of
Chesterfield county, was held in York
vile. at Trinity church. 1t was exclu-
sively meeting Of the preachers Of the
district, 16 Of whom were present. Six
Of the preachers were absent. Among
the subjects discussed were: The CIR
culation of Missionary Literature"
missionary Mass Meetings and How to
Hold Them" "The Destitution Of the
Home Field and How to Supply It."
Contributions to Missions-How Best
to Raise Them" 1.-The Sunday School
as a Missionary Means and Agency"
and "Woman's Work in the Mission
Field at Home and Abroad" Papers
were read on several Of these subjects,
and addresses and running colloquial
discussions were made by the members
of the institute.
The programme proved quite interest
ing to the members and to the few WIS.,
itors who were present at the four ses-
sions-two each day-of the conference.
Some of the addresses were quite elab-
crate and able and all Of them were full
of interest. Taken altogether the occa-
sion was pronounced by those who were
in a position to judge, as pronounced
success.
Among the papers prepared and read,
was one by Mrs. DR.. Weber, on the
Work Of Woman's Missionary Socie-
ties" The institute asked for it's pub
lication in The Southern Christian Ad-
vocate.
There was preaching on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday nights by
Revs. ]. M. Pike, J. S. Busby and J.
Barr Harris, all Of Rock Hill. DR.. H.
w. Bays, the presiding elder Of the
district, was ex-officio president Of the
institute, and Rev. B. s. Murphy was
the secretary.
The body Of the ministers present
presented a fine appearance and i'm
pressed the casual visitor and observer
as men Of intelligence and power.
Several Of the pastors Of the town
were present and were formally intro
duced to the body, e. g., Rev. Messrs.
Johnes, Bozeman and Neville. The last
named, on invitation, addressed the in
stitute, and at it's close, volunteered
fraternal expressions to the institute,
which were evidently very warmly re-
ceived.

body will be welcome. On Saturday
night there will be an educational mass
meeting and addresses will be delivered
by Rev. w. E. Thayer. of Rock Hill,
and Prof. Jones and Col. Stephenson,

pecially interesting. On Sunday morn
ing, at 10 o'clock, Colonel Stephenson
will exemplify the teachings Of a BIZ
BILE class, and will say some things that
will. no doubt, be helpful to those en-
gagged in this branch Of church work.
The Needs OF Epworth.
A slip containing the following, was
loosely inserted in the March issue of
The Epworth Orphanage Record:
There are 109 fatherless children at
the Epworth Orphanage, who are being
supported by the voluntary contribu-
tions Of the benevolent people Of the
state. Seven hundred and fifty dollars
is needed every month to properly care
for. educate and train these children.
Send liberal Offering this glad Easter
time to help carry on this Christly
work. Money is greatly needed for a
house that should be built at once, and
for the support fund. Let all make an
offering. worship the Lord with thy
substance So shall thy barns
be filled with plenty"
stood the Storm.
In the face of all the havoc that was
wrought by the freshet this week, it
was left to Supervisor Gordon and Com
missioner Wilkerson to have the right
to chuckle with some degree of salts
faction over one little incident that
confirmed their good judgment in
bridge construction. 1t was in the
case of the Lowry bridge, about eight
miles southeast of Yorkvile. The
bridge is an unusually long one, and i,
has been a troublesome and expensive
task to keep it in repair. Not long age
it was question of a new bridge, anc
after looking we'll into the situation
Messrs. Gordon and Wilkerson decided
to reduce the length Of the structure
about one-half, and let it down much
closer to the water level, thus saving
about one-half the cost of construction

And then its time for tea;
And then, in such short while,
Your bed time comes, you see!

'Twould be a spendid thing!
Cause don't you know when you're

And first you lie and watch the stars.
Or maybe there's moon;
And then you'll get all nice and warm
And sleepy pretty soon;
And then, perhaps, youth shut your

Marriage Saved the Pig.

That marriage is not always a
failure was abundantlY demon
strated in the case of Hiram John
son and Miss Matilda Parinson, of
Wilkesbarre, Pa, for it resulted in
saving life-that of a plg-and
causing two souls to have but a
single thought and two hearts to
beat as one. 1t appears that Miss
Parkinson owns farm adjoining
that of Hiram johnson, and she
charged the latter with having
stolen one of her pigs and had him
yanked before Justice Conehan. In
court she said Hiram and herself
had always been good friends, and
nlhe cleaning were wont to talk
to each other over the stile. When
it came Hiram's turn to have a
hearing he said that the pig was
his own property and he could
prove it to the satisfaction Of the
court. Each side had a cloud Of
witnesses who swore that the pig
belonged to one or the other, and
as the evidence on each side was of
equal weight Justice Conehan made
a decision entirely worthy of his
reputation as Solomon. He said
the pig should be killed and di-
yided equally.
Miss Parkinson, who has seen
at least fifty summers and a mum.
Der Of very hard winters. objected
strenuously to such proposition.
and the objection was supported
by Hiram. The over-ripe maiden
declared that the pig was not old
enough to be killed, and besides it
was such dear, sweet, lovely lit
tie pig that grunted and squea'cd-
the poor little darllng-n the most
affeclionate way whenever she
rubbed its back with a corn cob.
No settlement of the trouble seemed
to be in sight, and for a moment
Justice Conehan was nonplussed,
but bright idea suddenly struck
him, and he sm1lingly suggested,
'swhy don't you marry and keep
the pigin the family? You are old
enough.'' Miss Parkinson blushed
until her face was as red as the
wattles of a turkey cock, giggled
bashfully and violently agitated
the gimlet curls which hung like q
fringe over her cars. Hiram smiled
broadly and slowly scratched his
left shin with the toe of his right
boot. The suggestion seemed to
afford both of them much satis-
faction, and after retiring into a
corner and having one of those
heart to heart talks, that we read
about IN the newspapers when poll
tlcians are making deal to do up
the s'dear people," Hiram and Ma
tilda came out hand in hand, were
married Ill a jiffy and took the pig
home with them.
Justice Conehan expressed him
self as being proud of the work he
had done, and he has right to be
proud. He is man with great
head. No ordinary walnut knobs
the upper end Of his neck. A man
who can settle pig stealing case
by bringing the contending parties
together IN the bonds Of wedlock,
saving the life Of pig and Incl.
dentally raking off a wedding fee,
is 4 natural born diplomat. If he
only knew it an admlrlng country
is yearnlng right now for his SER
vices in broader field. He ahould
be billed at once as our minister to
China, for China is assuredly his
spot, and there we shall hear more
Of the clever work Of Conehan.--
