REMBERTS.

Rembert, October Rev. H. C..
Bethea preached very iconsoling SER
mon on yesterday at McLeod's
church. His subject was taken from
1st chapter Isiah, part of 18th verse:
Come Now and Let US Reason To-
gether Saith the Lord" He review
ed the so-called church members who
professed and called themselves
Christians, and cited some believed IN
God while others did not, and to
demonstrate there was God he re-
ferred in very pathetic way to the
recent storm that has just swept over
our entire Atlanic coast, destroying
lives and property to vast amount.
Also of the horrible earthquake that
completely tore down the mighty
foundations Of the beautiful city Of
San Francisco-all hese go to show
US the existence Of a Supreme Be-
ing, living God He then spoke OF
prayer, referring to the terrible crop
year throughout this community, the
great losses the farmers would sus-
tain and exorted US all to bend our
knees in prayer to Almighty God to
take care of us and He would not suf
fer us to want. After the close of
his sermon a number Of church mem
hers came forward and thanked him
for his comforting and consoling
words. and requested him to come
and preach again for US.

SMTTHEUIE.

Smithvi1le, S. c., Oct 1.-The
high School opened today with Prof.
s. S. Leighner in charge, assisted by
Miss Minnie Ryan. Professor Leigh
ner was in charge Of this school last
year and gave such satisfaction that he
was reelected for this year. He is
from near Pittsburg, Pa. This is the
Hrst year here for Miss Ryan. She
IS a Winthrop College student Of last
term, and her home is Edgedeld. She
is also a niece Of Senator Tillman.
Those who have met her speak ap-
preciatively Of her pleasing manners
and personal appearance as well as
the interest she shows in her work.
The first day Of the school began with
a much smaller attendance than 3
expected hereafter. This is account
ed for by the fact that Robinson's
circus is in Camden today and many
OF the patrons are supposed to have
carried their children to see the me-
Magerie. and also by the further fact
that many Of the farmers are keeping
their children to help gather their
cotton crop, which work has been
retarded up to this time by the bad
weather. This school had about 65
pupils last year, and the attendance
ss expected to be increased this year.
The effect Of the recent storm can
be seen in broken and uprooted trees,
but the damage to crops does not
appear to be as great around here as
was at first thought.
But there is no Misrepresentation
about the general shortage ot the cot
ton crop. The general dullness at the
cotton gins is proof that there is no
rush Of cotton to be ginned. Mr.. w.
s. Smith, who has a steam gin mere
says that his gin book shows about
pne-sixth less cotton ginned this year
than up to this time last season.
Mr.. j. Wess Weldon, who lives
near here, met with serious accident
a few days ago. He was hauling in hay
and was riding on top of a large lead
when the wheel Of the wagon ran into
a hole and threw Mr.. Weldon off
with the hay on top of him. He re-
ceived a painful hurt on his head ard
has been confined TO his home since.
At last report he was improving.
Willie and Joe McManus, two boys,
had a family scrap Saturday after
noon. Willie being the Oldest under

kERsHAw COUNTY NOTES.

Camden, Sept. 28.-My seeming in
difference is not for want of news or
of disregard for the interest Of the
Item, but just havn't had time to
write.
The storm of last week did consid-
erable damage here, and then to be
followed by week of rain makes the
damage hard to estimate, but it will
not be less than 10 per cent. on a
prospect of a 60 per cent. crop. My
advice is to hold for better prices.
The record will show that I-crit-
icised the cotton association last
year for demanding Is cents for cot
ton. I claimed it was too high. They
see their mistake now, but it is too
late. The public has lost confidence
in them. The only thing now is for
each farmer who can do so to say,
and mean what he says, that he will
not take less than 10 cents and then
hold as long as ne sees NJ ana sell as
he needs the money.
We say that Truitt, the great cotton
man of Georgia, says that the present
crop will not exceed 100000 bales.
Z On April 2nd I wrote a letter to
the Columbia State which was pub
lished on April the 4th that it would
be impossible to make over 100000
bales this year; so you see I estimated
the crop before it was planted, and
still believe my estimate of April
will hold good. I was just six months
ahead of Truitt, if there is anything
in his opinion.
The dam at the Hermitage cotton
mill broke last Monday night, but the
damage will not be heavy as it broke
near the factory on the canal, and
not where the water is so deep.
M. Alva Humphries, son of Mr. c.
U. Humphries, left last week for
Wofford College. We wish him sue
cess.
The Item is a welcome visitor. If
we are opposed to the dispensary we
like to see both sides. 3. NJ. n.

SOUTHERN TRAIN WRECKED

Columbia, Sept. 27.-Train wreck
ers having removed the rails for some
distance, Southern Railroad passen-
ger train No. 80, from Jacksonville to-
Washington, due here at 6.55 a. M,
was ditched today at $50 at Barton,
six miles south Of Allendale and
seventy-one miles south Of Colum-
bia. The locomotive and six coaches
were overturned, colored Fireman
Andrew Kemp, Of this city, had both
legs broken and died almost in
stanaly, Engineer j. E. Mcdonald, OF
this city, was badly scalded about the
trunk and legs, two mail clerks were
hurt, and more than a dozen Of the
passengers sustained minor bruises
a~d cuts.
All question Of accidental derailing
was eliminated by the fact that the
missing rails were found neatly Piled
together at the side OF the road-bed,
with the spikes which held them to-
the ties strung alongside. The scene
of the wreck is a lonely spot in the
center of a. district densely populated
by negroes Of the most primitive
type, who have been in an ugly mood
lately as a result of the labor trou-
bles In this State and Georgia. Many
Of the passengers believe that the
derailing Of train 80, one Of the
Southern's finest through expresses,
was an act Of deliberate revenge,
planned and executed by the worst
element in the surrounding colored
population. Certainly it is lard to
explain on any other theory, sor rob-
berry was not attempted and nothing
has occurred lately that could have
inspired them with any particular
feeling against abe railway company
Railway detectives are already at
work on the case.

DARK CORNER.

Dark Corner, October 1.-WeH II
still rains, but thanks to an all wise
we have not had any more storms.
Farmers are trying every chance they
can get 70 gather their cotton and
Germ, also as so much Of the latter was
blown down by the storm Of the 18th
ut and is rotting on the ground.
Mrs. r. Pinckney Weeks and son,
Charlie, are on the sick list, and Mr..
ice E. Johnston has had very sick
child which was better at last report.
I have been requested to say that
YOU made several mistakes and errors
in your report of the Osteen-1ngram
trial of last Friday. It was Mr.. John
VIM. Osteen, who prosecuted Magis-
trate Ingram, and he is no relation
whatever to Thos. n. Osteen, who
opposed Mr.. ingram in the race for
magistrate. He (Thos. H.) is only
an Osteen by adoption. His father
was Mr.. Ransom Kolb and his mother
died when he was an infant and he
was adopted, named and raised by the
late Esquire Thomas II. Osteen of
Privateer. Mr.. Ingram is accused of
having and using whiskey at Man
chester and not sPrivateer as stated.
Mr.. T. H. Osteen sys he has nothing
to do with the prosecution whatever
that he fought Mr.. Ingram fairly and
clean handed to the last ditch and
now owns that Ingram is in in and he
is not. So he is not kicking, re-
membering the King can do no
wrong and who is the King if not the
people.
Miss Eunice E. osteen came down
from your city Friday afternoon to
spend Saturday and Sunday with ne-
parents at the Sycamores.
Mrs. Ben Geddings Of Pinewood

ing, M. & A. r. r., next week. The

time clearing out the public roads
