With the Westminster Heptasophs.

Westminster, June Westmin-
ster Conclave, No. $50, Improved
Ordar Heptasophs, had delightful
meeting on the evening of June 6.
The occasion of the meeting was
the installation of officers. Our
loyal and efficient deputy supreme or
ganizer, j. B. Sloan, was in charge of
the installation ceremonies. He
graced the occasion, as always, in his
deliberate and impressive manner.
Brother Sloan is certainly the right
man in the right place, and it is al
ways an occasion of great pleasure
to have him with US.
Oconee Conclave, No. S27, came
over and met with us, filling the
different offices in the conclave and
taking charge of the initiatory work
of the candidates. They certainly
understand this work and what they
did for the candidates was plenty,
making such impressions on their
minds that will not be easily forgot
ten and not only upon the candi-
dates, but equally strong impressions
were made upon the minds of some
of the old members of both con-
claves, who had not taken some of
the "side degrees"
AS n result of the faithful work of
the deputy organizer, j. g. White,
we had quite good class to initiate,
numbering 9 or 10, with several
other applications for membership.
The occasion was one of the most
pleasant in the history of our con-
clave and all left with the resolution
to make an individual effort to raise
Westminster Conclave to one the
best in our section.

Tugaloo, June 5.-(Received too
late for the last issue.)-We have
had several beautiful days and
farmers in this section have made
good use of it. Two weeks ago
there was more complaint about
grass than we ever heard before,
and it was sure here, too. But the
farmers o.d not stop at complaining.
They pitched in with plows and hoes
and by their indefatigable persistence
put grass clear out of business.
1t was our good pleasure to visit
at Crawfordville, two miles south
east of Tuealoo yesterday. We
were agreeably surprised to see crops
looking so clean and fine. They are
certainly promising. Oats are espe-
cially good. We dined with our
genial friend, w. III. Crawford. The
dinner was one to tempt the appe-
tite of the most fastideous, prepared
and served by Misses Bessie and
jamie, two of Mr.. Crawford's pretty
and accomplished daughters. After
dinner they treated US to some de-
lightful Instrumental and vocal
music.
On last fourth Sunday there was
one of the largest congregations

Rev. j. N. Carlisle Dead.

Spartanburg, June 8.-Rev. John
M. Carlisle died here yesterday after
noon.
About the year 1900 three sturdy
brothers came over from Ireland and
settled in Fairfield county. They
were William, John and Henry Car
Isle. Rev. John M. Carlisle was the
son of John, and he WAS born in
Fairfield county rs years ago. He
did not have the advantage of col
legiate education, but went to the
best schools in his county. With
much study aud solid reading be

with diplomas from colleges. In De-
camber, 1874, when about 1S years
old, he joined the South Carolina
Conference. He served missions III
years, circuits 16, stations III, and a
presiding elders district four. He
has been on the retired list about
10 years. For some time he was
chaplain in one of the South Caro-
lima regiments, aud made AN excel
lent chaplain. There are only two
preachers In the conference VINO
have served longer than Mr.. Carlisle.
They are Rev. A. M. Chreitzberg,
who joined in 1889; and Rev. John
A. Porter, who entered in 1841.
Mr.. Carlisle was an earnest, strong,
acceptable preacher. After the old
style, he started his sermons in a
slow, dignifed manner, but he soon
warmed up, and always preached a
good sermon, repletc with solid
thought and wise suggestions. With
clearness and force he elucidated his
text and stuck to it, the logical ar
rangements of his sermons being
good.
He had the satisfaction Of seeing
two of his sons, John e. and Mark
L., members of the South Carolina
Conference. His other three sons,
e. L., of Marlboro county; Chas. H.
and James E., OF this city, are highly
esteemed for their excellent aud up
right lives. One daughter, Mrs.
Jennings, lives in Spartanburg.

Of Independence of Meokenburg, Char
lotto, N. e.:
'sFrom my home in the far away South
land;
i At their cordial bidding went
To honor the memory Of these brave
men
From whom claim proud descent.
On the Goth OF May, eighteen ninety
! eight,
To the unwilling of handsome monu.
| ment,
Erected TO the brave signers of a decree
That gave us our glorious liberty,
Alter century and almost a quarter
spent.
In the quaint. historic Charlotte town
Twas u grand and national affair,
, And enthusiastic thousands gathered
there
This great event with pomp to celebrate,
And this brave deed to perpetrate
That it may live in history.
| The beat of drum, the fife's loud cry,
Throbbed joyously in soft May breezes,
AS happy groups went hurrying by,
+ Meath sunbeams shiwmeIng through
trees.
Were lovely in garments of light,
While over all, this glorious day,
Floats our flag of color bright.
Proud n. Z. nobly led the van
TO break the tyrant's yoke;
| These patriots met to talk and plan,
Led by tho gallant Col. Polk
Pledging their fortune and their lives
This Calling yoke to rend in twain,
And open freedoms gate 80 wide
That the whole nation could come in
And loudly and sweet liberty proclaim.
OF these brave men none worked more
| hard
Than the five Alexanders and Brevard,
While Harris, Phifer, Hennon, Barry,
Patton, Ford, irwin, Avery,
Balch, Flenihen. Morrison,
Downs, Graham, Davidson.
With quill did each one sign his name,
Thereby fan the patriot flame
That burned and blazed throughout the
land,
Till the whole State-so goes the story
Crowned Charlotte town with matchless
glory.
l shall feel proud, till life shall cease,
Of my great grandsire, David Reese,
Who signed this famous declaration,
TO lift the yoke off this proud nation.
In Charlotte town with zeal so blest,
Dubbed by Cornwall is as the "Hornet's

OF rebellion that gave renown,
And freedom from British crown.
| Can forget thie great eventp
Oh! never, never, never!
| Then hurrah! hurrah!

not make a brilliant success, when
thew were. The Telegram respect

that thev be required to confIne
themselves to their stock IN traIe

hook agents are not made officers oil

Init firmly tell them if they must be

school book agent who is not en-
gagged in teaching ought not TO I'M
nose himself on an institute as one
to lead its members to better meth,
ODDS He is no more fitted to tell
Them what to do than most any one
else. because he is no longer IN the

The most he should ask is permits

then there ought to be an open field.

be given a cold shoulder in mstl-
