 A PLEASANT MOONLIGHT RIDE. THE ENDEAvOR SOCIETY OF THE NEW
 TOWN CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
 JOINS FORCES WITH THE BETHEL
 ENDEAvoRERs.
 The Newtown EndeavOrers had re- ceived a cordial invitation from the sister society in the Bethel Congrega- tional chcrch to unite with them in their regular weekly prayer meeting on Tuesday evening, May 20; and a full moon of wonderful brightness made it possible to accept the invita- tion in royal good fashion. Twenty four Endeavorers from the Newtown Congregational church went over the hills and reported a delightful gather ing in every way. The Sunday school room of the Bethel church is an ideal one for such a meeting. It is bright, cheery, clean and attractive. It says with every chair and with every bril- liant light, "You are welcome and we wish you to feel perfectly at home here." The subject for the evening, Practical Conservation, was take n up in spirited fashion by the young people and many helpful thoughts were given. You may preach religion; but if you do not live it, it is vain Christ helped men in many little ways He did comparatively only few great things; and we must try to serve Him on Monday and Tuesday, guided by the teaching which Sunday has brought. This was the line of thought those who took part followed out The regular prayer meeting was fol lowed by a pleasant social hour, ir which light refreshments were served Rev H. L. Slack, Rev Otis w. Barker and Henry M. Smith made happy speeches, in which they introduced some good stories. Rev Mir Barker for the Newtown society, extended their hearty thanks for the kind enter tainment, and, in turn, gave the Bethelites a warm invitation soon t( return the visit. They may do so ir good numbers in the leafy month o1 June. All joined hands about the room and sang with heartiness, "Blest be the tie that binds;;" and so the meeting closed, to be folded away as a sweet treasure of remembrance in the Hcasket of the long ago.

A happy hit was made last year when the lady patrons of the Newtown library were asked to each earn a dol lar for the funds of the association. The ways devised were many and novel, and gave good token of the in- genuity as well as the helpfulness in all good works of woman. This year the ladies are asked either to earn a dollar or contribute d dollar. May the high-water mark of last year, $40, be equalled or surpassed. Miss Abbie L. Peck, the librarian, will stir up the mind on this point by way of re- membrance as the ladies from time to time come after books.
 A fine list of new books is now being purchased, to be here in good time to meet the brisk summer demand. The committee appointed to consider means for raising funds have capital entertainment far past the starting point. With long pull, strong pull and a pull all together let us wish for large success in the days to come [Otis w. Barker, Acting President.

A PROUD OLD BIRD
WITH NEW GOLD DRESS HE ONCE MORE HOLDS UP HIS HEAD WITH PRIDE.


 PRIDE.
 When Painter Nichols, of the fir m of Ruffles & Nichols, started to climb up the ladder tied to the spre of the Congregational church, to begin the task of painting it., he heard tremen- douS Tapping of wings and Squawking above his head. Looking up the old rooster on the spire asked to be taken down for a rest, and as he was a proud old bird, asked the painter for a shiny new dress. MT Nichols could not re- sist the appeal, and although the task of removing the bird was hazardous one, he boldly climbed to the top. By this time the rooster had fallen back into his usual quiet mood, only blink ing with his glass eye, as Nichols claSped the great bird in his arms. The rooster in question is about three and one-half feet high by four feet long. M. $. Otis thinks. the bird is at least l5O years old and must have or when it stood in the middle of the Street. There are two holes through the rooster, made by bullets it is said. The common impression is that it was the work of British soldiers at the time of the Revolutionary war, but Mir Otis says he has heard the tradi- tiOn that it was done by French sol diers at the time of the French and Indian war, and THE BEE thinks he is correct. The bird was handsomely decorated with new coating of gold leaf and it's two glass eyes beamed with happiness as Painter Nichols once more seized him in both arms and placed him on the steeple top.

Hon. Banks L. Caughman is justly
proud of the very fattering vote be
received throughout the State in the
recent primary for Railroad Commits
sioner, and more especially the very
large vote given him by the people
of Lexington, his native county. Mr..
Caugbman has won his position
through his own merit fitness and
competency, aud we are confident
that he will discharge his duties with
entire satisfaction to all parties con-
cerned. His well known excellent
business judgment and his strict
integrity pre.eminently qualities him
to faithfully perform the duties of
the ofice to which he has been
elected and be carries with him to
his new field of labor and usefulness

Wednesday, September 24, 1902.

Just now the prevailing opin-
ion seems to be among many politi-
clans that factionalism is dead in this
State. They base their conclusion on
apparently logical grounds. On
the surface it really seems that the
election of Mr.. Hayward was the
expiring wall of factionalism, but to
thoughtful students OF passing events
for year or so ago, there is deeper
significance, and grander meaning in
the success of Mr.. Hayward. There
has always been, with one exception)
and there always will be factionalism
in South Carolina. That exception
was in the campaign of 1875 when
Hampton was the standard bearer
of united Democracy. This being
fact so plain that it is beyond the
shadow of doubt, then we must
look deeper for the cause of the poll
tical upheaval on the 9Th of Septem-
Der. That cause, we submit, is due
solely and entirely to the support
given MIR. Hayward by the Pro.
gressive Democrats. A careful study
of the returns will demonstrate the
accuracy of this position to the mind
of every honest searcher after truth.
ALI along We advised the peopls
to watch The silent vote, and
that vote was the influence of
Progressive Democracy. Its rumbl-
ing warning was heard in the first
primary and in clap Of tremendous
thunder in shook the State from the
mountains to the seabosrd in the
second primary. Now that the
smoke of battle has cleared away
and We can see things as they really
exist with an uaobscured vision, we
submit that the grandest and most
important lesson taught by tie re-
suit is, that the Progressive Demo
Gratis hold the balance of power in
she political affairs of this State, and
wise indeed is the politician who
gives heed to this lesson.

Flattering Outlook.

All the indications point to a very
successful county fair this year. The
Secretary, Mr.. J. A. Muller, has been
greatly encouraged over the fstter-
ing outlook, and he, together with the
other officers of the Association, are
leaving nothing undone to secure
one of the best exhibits in all OF the
departments of domestic and indus
trial life ever gathered for this pur-
pose. The attendance also promises
to be unusually large and the attrac-
tions will be on larger and grander
scale than heretofore. Our people
should join their efforts with those of
management of the fair to make it
surpass anything yet held. If each
and every citizen will but do what
the requirements demand of them
we will have such fair that will
astonish the natives. Let US get to
work.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Please give space in your esteemed
columns for me to thank my friends
who saw fit to nominate me in the
primary election for one of the most
important Offices in their gift.
OF coursethere are Offices consid-
cred more honorable, but in my
Judgment there is none of more
importance to the tax payer and
public generally than County Com
missioner.
We also extend our thanks to the
people who we fell in with to share
the hospitality of their homes while
on the campaign rounds.
My announcement was 30 late and
business, too, prevented my canvass.
ing the county as I wished to do,
but by assistance of some good
friends, I pulled through.
I also extend my sympathy to the
man who tried to irjure me by tell
ing his friends that was rich enough
to live without the Office and let
some poor man have it, and I promise
if be don't get before the county
board as a lunatic until 7 get the
Office I will try to have him assigned
to the asylum in as comfortable
quarters as possible. l have ever
lived without asking for an Office
before now.
promise the whole people if I
am permitted to reach the Office that
I will spare no time or pains to'repay
them for the confidence they have in
me in trusting me with so important
position.

Democratic electors of the Seventh
Congressional District are reminded
that Congressman Lever will have
opposition for reelection in the
general election, and it is the duty
of every person who participated in
the recent primary election to sup
port Mr.. Lever in the general elec-
tion. They owe it to their sacred
oath to do so and there is no way of
getting out of it honorably. This
obligation Of the voter to the nominee
of the party would not at this time
be emphasized were it not for the
fact that it is known that Ed Thomp
son, q negro Republican, has posi-
lively announced bis candidacy for
Congress from this District, and it is,
therefore, important that Mr. Lever
should be given the full Democratic
strength Of the District. Of course
there is no possible chance for
Thompson to be elected because
there are not enough Republican
votes in the District to do so, but the
lukewarmness of the Democrats in
not voting in the general election will
give Thompson some ground, fiimsy
though it may be, to contest the
election and if the National House OF
Representatives is anyway evenly
divided or Republican votes are re-
quired to secure safe working ma
io~ity, Mr.. Levers seat, or for that
matter, the contested seat OF any
other Southern Democrat is in
danger, as the Republican conscience
is blunt and they always act upon
the theory that might makes right"
For these reasons we would urge
every Democratic elector in the Dis
trict to turn out on Tuesday, No.
vember 4th, and vote for Lever for
Congress.
