St. Matthews Literary Society.

On Tuesday evening of last week
the St. Matthews Literary Society
held it's regular meeting in Gains
Hall, where the following profitable,
as we'll as entertaining, programme
was rendered: Instrumental solo by
Miss Jarecky; criticism of play, "Ju-

Miss Halle Murray: character sketch,
MARK Anthony," DR.. II. II. Dreher:
current events, Mr.. Pou Wannamakcr:
instrumental solo, Mrs. j. \. llCrritt:
critics report, Miss Lucia Bee Able.
Each number was well rendered and
reflected much credit uponlthe enter
tainnrs. The music by Mrs. Merritt
and Misses .Iarecky. McLaunChlin and
Wannam3kcr, was carefully selected,
and executed in Il most pleasing man
uer by each OF the gifted performers.
The parcrS read by DrS. Bates and
Dr,hcr were well written and Of d
nigh literary character. The rcclta-
tiun by Miss Murray deserves Specia!
comment. Miss Murray is talented in
eIUcuriouary art and consequently her
reading WAS well rendered.

A Thoughtful Mother Says.

That if you want your children to
be courteous, you must treat them
with respect.
That they will invariably copy your
manners, so you must take care that
they are the best.
That you should be as careful Of
their feelings as you wish them to be
of the feelings Of others.
That when it is necessary to admin
lister reproof it should be given in pri-
yate.
That most children are sensitive on
this point; it Injuries their self-respect
and they feel it acutely, though they
are not able to express it in words.
That to tell child in public that
it has been rude or lacking in good
breeding is as unwarrantable as 1t
would be to tell a guest so.
That this can be accomplished much
better if you take the child aside at
the first convenient opportunity and
gently but firmly point out what the
error was, and what should bo done
on the next occasion.
That it is possible to callous a
child's conscience by too rigid discip-
line, and this is miStaF, made by
too many mothers.

Rev. S. d. Colyer, returned last
week from Sumter, where he assisted
Or. w. NJ. Taylor in a successful
meeting. AS "a result some of the best
citizens of Sumter turned from their
alien life and entered the army Of
the saved. A church was organized,
and already they are raising money
with which to buy lot on which to
build, house in which to worship
and to serve the Lord. Rev. Mr..
Colyer preached to full house Lords
day night, and many wanted the
meeting to 60 on, but as there was
another meeting to begin that Lords
day and had been so advertized for
six weeks he thought it best to practic
the golden rule, and SO closed the
meeting Monday night. He has re-
turned to finish preparations for a
meeting to be held in Orangeburg
beginning about the first Of April.
DR.. James Small, Of Columbus, In
diana, one Of the most successful
evangeliSts OF our country, lhas been
secured to do. the preaching in this
meeting. Mr.. Colyer went, to Detroit,
Michigan, to the National Conven-
tion of the Christian Churches for
the sole purpose Of securing a man
with head, heart and tongue.
DR.. Small, he says, is prominently
the man. The light of heaven is in
his face and much sunshine is in his
soul, and it will not take you long to
see that his life is on the alter and in
some of his lofty flights Of oratory
you almost feel like saying surely his
tongue was trained among the angels.
Mr.. Colyer has done his utmost to
bring a true man Of God for this
great meeting in Orangeburg. He
hopes Orangeburg will show its ap-
probation by turning out in full force
to hear this great and good man. A
tabernacle will he built for this meet
ing and comfortably seated and light

CAUGHT IN CHARLESTON.
A Negro Convict Who Escaped from
OrangeDurg Chain Gang.

A Negro Convict Who Escaped from
OrangeDurg Chain Gang.
The Charleston Post, Of last We'd
nesday says:
"Ciliph Hampton, alias John
briggs, colored, convicted on the
charge of burglary at the May term
of the court of session at Orangehurg,
and sentenced to four years on the
county chain gang, but who escaped
after having served only short time,
was arrested last Wednesday morning
by constable Burton, Of Magistrate
OShaughnessy's court, and constable
RasG of Orangeburg, about SIX miles
from Charleston. He was brought to
the city and placed in jail for safe
keeping until this afternoon when
constable Rast will take him. to Or
angeburg.
Hampton or briggs, as be is known
in Charleston, is bad citizen. After
making bis escape from Orangeburg,
he went to Sumter, where he was To-
Gated by the deputy sheriff Of that
county, and an effort was made to cap
ture him. He fired several shots at
the officer and took to the swamps,
and blood hounds ~eTe put On. Giail
but by his cunning he managed to es-
cape.
several days ago Hampton was To-
Gated in Charleston, and the Orange
burg authorities we're notified, cnn-
stable Rast arrived in the city last
night, and he and constable Burton
went in search Of the escaped convict.
All last night the officers were out in
pursuit of the negro, but he was not
located until this morning about six
miles from the city, Hampton made
an effort to escape but the constables
covered him with their pistols and he
threw up his hands and surrendered.
The negro will be taken back to Or
angeburg this afternoon to enter
again upon his sentence Of fur years.
It is probable that he will be sent to
Columbia to finish his term in the
penitentiary."

Oraneeburg in Good Shape.

The Hon. W. G. Smith, president
of the Orangeburg Manufacturing
Company, was in Charleston Monday
in order to attend the sale Of the
damaged cotton taken from the Man
haitian. When seen by a representa-
tive Of The News and Courier at bis
hotel, just before leaving on the after
noon train for his home in the up
country, be spoke very interestingly
and pleasantly of the business condi-
tions in his part Of the State.
Mr.. Smith said that while the cot
ton crop made in Orangeburg county
last year was not as large as usual,
that the price received was high, and
the farmers in Orangeburg county
had therefore made money. The corn
crop last year was, he said, very large,
and the hay and pea crop the most
beautiful known in that section IN
years. From the present indications
there seems to be no doubt that the
cotton acreage will be increased
this year Among other things Mr..
Smith said that many of the farmers
are using Peruvian guano, almost to
the exclusion of the commercial fer
tilizers. The individual farmers are
in good financial condition and are
not complaining. The merchants
did a good fall business last year and
are laying in large stocks for the
spring trade, which at this time bids
fair to be excellent.
In speaking of the size Of Orange
burg county, Mr.. Smith said that
while it was not generally known,
that 1T was a fact that Orangeburg
was the largest county not only in
South Carolina, but in the United
States, with the possible exception OF
one county in Pennsylvania. MIR.
Smith is also president Of the Orange
burg Young Mems Business League,
which is doing a great deal for the
upbuilding and the advertisement OF

\ PAINFUL Acc DlDENT. Mr.. Wm.
Mount '.Ir.. Il young farmer OF the
Fork. met with Il painful acci-.enl on
last Wednesday afternoon. while re-
turning home from this city. Just
how it occurred no one knows. He
WAS driving Il two-horSe wagon and
WAS alone. About two miles over the
river he was found lying in the road
unconscious, in pool of blood. which
flowed from d terrible wound in the
head, that was evidently inflicted
by kick from one of the horses.
Under his arm he still held the bun
dies of merchandise purchased in town.
The wagon in some way had become
uncoupled and little further up the
road the horses dragging the fore-part
of the vehicle were stopped. Mr..
Mount was given immediate medical
attention, but he is still unconscious,
and there is but slight hope for his
recovery.
