in the middle Of the summer, and
from that time until all is de-

largest purchases of machinery
ever made by any one connected
with this State.
The development at the Great

Rebels Execute Chief and
Aids--Bloody Fight at
Tukum.

st. Petersburg, 81, 2.1O p. m.
Since noon today the streets
have been filled with troops, es-
Pecially those in the industrial
sections. The railroad stations
are in possession of the military.
Wholesale arrests of the leaders
OF the workmen were made last
night. 1t is reported that the
police include in their captures
the members of the second work
mems council who were placed
in the fortress Of ST. Peter and
st. Paul with the members of
the first council, who were arrest
ed Saturday night. A third
council, however, promptly took
the place of the second.
Moscow is already cut off from
st. Petersburg and with the
provinces generally was no COM
munication this morning.
According to the latest infor-
nation the Lithuanian insurrec-
ton has extended into the pro-
vince of Vitebsk, across the bor-
ders of Livona. At Kohunhusen
the chief of police and his assis-
tants were tried by a revolutions
ary tribunal and executed.
1t turns out that Tukum, in
Kurland, only surrendered after
a severe fight which lasted for
IL hours. The insurrectionists
had fortified the town by throw
ing up entertainments, before
which they dug pits. They also
had in position the machine
guns recently captured by them.
The trenches were taken by
storm, both sides losing heavily.
The latest information from
Kharkoff says that 10000 reyo-
lutionaries are under arms and
that troops are being concentrat-
ed for the purpose OF recaptur-
ing the city.

C1Ss
The recitations were excep
tionally fine aud were enjoyed
and highly praised by all who
heard them.
Prof. Hamel gave us most
excellent address, and many
were the compliments we heard
given him.
Following the exercises as
mentioned above, the baskel
sale was taken up. Mr.. w. A.
Funderburk, in his business way
of doing things, soon had the
"boys" bidding for dear life
lest some other "fellow" got his
best girls BASKET, and in a short
time all the baskets we're dis
posed OF, at fair prices. Supper
was then served.
The committee then offered
some fruit and other articles for
sale, which were soon disposed
Of.
Total net proceeds were
$25.3S.
We are pleased to say that the
occasion was a grand success.
The school is now in a
prosperous condition. We have
good attendance, and with a
man like Prof. Hamel at the
helm, we are bound to succeed.
The Christmas holidays will
soon be here, and our people
will spend them In various
ways, some hunting, others visit
ing &c.
We hope that all may enjoy
the occasion in it's fullest sense.
A great deal of improvements
In the way of building and paint
ing are going on in this section.
Messrs. Pricket Plyler and
Wesley Rowell will build nice
dwellings in the near future.
Mr.. General Griffin will en-
large his commodious store-room
Mr.. H. S. Plyler is having his
handsome dwelling painted. Mr..
Daniel Todd has the contract.
On the whole, Tabernacle is
making great strides along all
lines. 1t is, in our opinion, the
garden spot of Lancaster county.
All We need now is the G.. 81.
railroad to come this way, and
then you would see things hum.

Vile, "a, In 1914, Asbury pre-
sided for his last time over the
Conference, having been it's over
seer for twenty-seven years.
One hundred years ago, Dec
ember 80, 1906, the Conference
met at Camden, December 80.
The white membership was then
l2,615 and the colored 1887. AT
that time the Conference includ-
ed Georgia and North Carolina.
The first Conference held out of
this State was at Sparta, Ga, in
1906. North Carolina did not
get one until 1914, when it was
held at Fayetteville. The last
Conference held in Georgia was
at Augusta, January II, 1927.
About that time Georgia organiz-

ference held in North Carolina
was in Charlotte, November /,
1865. Four Conferences have
been held In Spartanburg. The
first was December 26, 1S4S,
Bishop Capers presiding. That
was the first time that most OF
our people had ever seen a
Bishop. At that time there
were 33.5S9 white and 41,SS8
colored members. The other
Conferences held in Spartanburg
were December IL, 1862. John
Early presiding; December 13,
1871, Robert Pain, Bishop; Nov

They were P. A. Williams, thir-

years; F. M. Kennedy, four
years; H. F. Cheitzberg, six
years; E. o. Watson, twelve
years. Sixty years ago a presid.

home of his family, in Lincoln

or six counties. A preacher

during dinner a certain elevated tract

NEW WAY TO MAKE BUTTER.
Sweet Cream Poured Over Pads Which
Absorb All but the Fat.


A committee Of the Franklin instl-
tute OF Philadelphia has just made
public its report on the Taylor proc
ess for butter making. 1t is recon-
mended that Mr.. Taylor receive the
John Scott medal and premium in
recognition of the value of his invcn-
ton.
In this new process sweet cream is
poured into shallow pans the bottoms
of which are covered with absorbent
pads. These pads are composed OF
heavy white blotting paper supported
on Turkish toweling, or some similar
material and absorb from the cream
nearly all of its constituents except
the fat The cream fat remains as a
layer on the surface of the pads and
after several hours standing it may
be rolled on
In this condition the product con-
tains rather too much water and milk
proteids; on this account, and because
of the absence OF salt, it does not keep
well. II, however, the separated but
ter fat be worked and salted in tia
same way as the ordinary churned
product the result is fine grade Of
butter.
The process has the advantage Of
cheapness, since the pads may be used
over and over again, lasting, it is said,
for six months Of daily use The labor
of churning is avoided and, on ac-
count Of the use of fresh cream in
stead of that which has stood to ripen
for several days, the finished product
keeps better than butter made in the
ordinary way The process has been
patented in the United States, Canada,
England, France and Germany.
