Seneca, July 25.-Petitions have been

The Double Springs Church.

At Double Springs church, in this
county, an unique and interesting Sun
day school is conducted. Both Baptists
and MethOdists have organized churches
there. The membership of each of
these is small, and for this reason the
two denominations have agreed and
organized union school, where the
children of both churches are taught.
They have two superintendents, K. B.
Fretwell for the Methodists and w. II.
Mongold for the Baptists. Mr.. Fretwell
conducts the school for one quarter and
Mr.. Mongold the next. When Mr.. Fret
we'll has charge Methodist literature is
studied and when Mr.. Mongold has
charge the Baptist literature is used.
Everything seems to work in harmony.
Good will and kindly feeling pervade the
school.
Last Sunday the school celebrated
Children's Day, and it was delightful
to be there. In this celebration there
were two programs gone through with
one with Methodist and one with Bap-
tist literature. The exercises were de-
lightful and enjoyable; many reoitations
were made by the children and listened
to by large congregation of intelligent
people. 1t had been announced that this
Sunday school entertainment would be
given and that dinner would be served
on the ground. Promptly at IL O'Clock
the exercises were begun, and by 1890
the children's program had been COM
pleted and all were invited to dine.
Little children and larger ones, too,
charmed the audience with their i'm
pressive rotations. After they had
gone through with this part of the exer-
cises three little girls went around and
asked of the people an offering for the
Lord. We have not seen better enter
tainment anywhere at any of Jour larger
churches. The recitations were we'll
rendered and many of them were simply
charming. Among manyl welfare con-
strained to mentiou:two-one by Miss
Ethel Barker and one byl young Mr.,
Rochester.
After dinner had been served, again
the congregation assembled to listen to
an address by j. w. Shelor on:the sub
jeot of Sowing" All went home at 8
o'clock feeling that it was good to have
been present. Double Springs is good
community and much development is
being made. We expect in the near
future to hear of much advance i'm this
community.

Gunbost Wreck Killed Scores.

of frightful explosion of one of the
main boilers of the United States gun
boat Bennington, at San Diego harbor
shortly before noon to- day, 33 bodies are
at the morgue and between sixty and
seventy more are in hospitals, many of
whom will die. The total deaths will
probably be nearly sixty. The warship
was badly shattered, great hole being
torn in the stern, and it has been beached
to prevent sinking.
The explosion is believed to have been
in the boiler, which for many months
had been regarded as weak, though an
inspection a year ago resulted in favor

stream preparatory to towing the dis

man on board was either killed or sori-

A Valuable Book.

Miss Marye r. Shelor, in hunting up
historical information, found the "Rec-
ords of Chauga Church, 179O." Miss
Shelor carried this old priceless book to
Clemson, where it was viewed by all
lovers of history. Prof. Smith, of North
Carolina, spent three hours reading. 1t
was read by Col. Dargan, Prof. Morrison,
Miss Conner, %. A. r. historian,) Mrs.
Nell, Miss Poppenheim, Prof Furman,
Prof. Wardlaw. All said it should be
placed in some archives, where it could
not be destroyed by fire, and the church
could still own it. Clemson, as it is in
Oconee, should have it. There it could
DE viewed by the people who made the
church. The writer was asked to Sc
cure it for Clemson. The request came
from DR.. Nell.
Hon. j j. McMahan wanted it for
South Carolina College, but said that
Furman was the right heir, it being
Baptist college. Then Prof. Rembert
wanted it for Wofford. Col. Dargan
said Historian Sally must have it for the
State. But then the members of An

in and say, "We must keep it at home.

What college will get it depends on the
decision of its owner, VIM. O'Kelley, of
the Westminster cotton mill. The col
lege will take 1t and preserve the records
from fire. This church gave to Oconee
many pages of valuable history. The
main value of the book Is the manner in
which it was written and how the men,

church took the place of the court in q
