- There has been some cotton NOV
ing during the past week. Mr.. B. N
Moore bought about a hundred bale:
recently at II cents.
Last week was rather dull in York
vile because of the rain. A large pro-
| portion of the people who help tc
make busy these times did not carr
much money last week.
- Quite an energetic electrical storm
played over the southern part of York
vile for some minutes at about
o'clock last Saturday afternoon, ano
during its progress a bolt OF electricity
struck a tree on the premises Of the
Tavora mill. There was first SHARP
report like the crack Of rifle anc
this was followed a moment later by
loud boom like the discharge OF ar
tillery. A hundred or more window
lights were shattered in the mill ano
adjoining buildings and numerous elec-
trio fuses were blown out. The loose
hanging lint In the picker rooms was
also ignited: but the fire was extin-
guished before any considerable dam
age was done. Nobody was hurt and
the window glass wreckage included
the most serious loss.
Rev. f. f. Gillespie, pastor Of the

morning sermon, to give his congre-

children as they should be raised" and
at its close Mr.. Gillespie took occasion
to speak very pointedly on the subject
of dancing. He referred specifically tc
the school of grace" recently organ
lied in Yorkville, and condemned 1t ir
very positive language. He took oc-
casion to say that IL physicians should
identify some particular district as
distinctively malarial and point out
the fact, people would shun that dis
trict The speaker was here to look
after the spiritual welfare of the COM
munity just as the physicians were
here to look after the physical welfare
and he declared against the spiritual
and moral health Of the school OF
grace" He quoted from the discipline
of various denominations and read let
ters from different church authorities
to show the estimate In which dancing
Is held by most Christian denomina-
tions. He expressed himself as uncom-
promising in his own opposition tC
dancing and gave the congregation tc
understand that he does not propose
even to the slightest degree, to evade
or dodge the issue that has been pre-
sented. AS the result of the sermon

respected of all. He became a member

Most of the people who attended the
Associate. Reformed church during the
series of meetings commencing last
Friday morning and closing Sunday
night were very much impressed by
the able and instructive sermons that
were preached by Rev. ]. l.. Oates OF
Hickory Grove. The first sermon
elected favorable remarks on the part
of the congregation, and so did the
were some who assumed as a matter
of course that the preacher had two or
three favorite sermons for occasions
like this; but at the end of the series
the best, and were forced also to con-
clude that If Mr.. Oates had been choos-
| ing his best sermons for the occasion,
the bunch he has to select from must
be well nigh inexhaustible. One Of the
most striking sermons of this remark
able series probably, was one which
called attention to a universal weak
ness of humanity, the disposition Ito
| follow the multitude to do evil" In
this sermon Mr.. Oates called attention
| to the fact that only a very small per
cent of the people do their own think
ing even to the extent Of trying to dis
cover whether the leader they would
follow is going the right way. 1t Is
| frequently the case that they do not
even know they are following and
when, upon a day of reckoning, which
must surely come sooner or later, they
are brought face to face with the fact
that they have made a terrible mis-
take they invariably find justification
i'm the fact that so many other people
were doing just as they were doing,
| that they were only following the lead
| of the multitude. The application OF
the sermon was to all departments of
| life, religious, social, political, business,
etc, and those who heard 1t still have
something to think about. All of the
sermons were listened to with the clos
est attention, and the only regret in
Iconnection with the entire series is
that the pleasure and benefit connected
Herewith has necessarily to be confin-
ed to a house full of people.

which we are unable to give an in
telligent opinion at this time because
we have no information as to Its
meaning We have known more OIL
less of Mr.. Lumpkin for several
years, principally as an entertaining
speaker but not hitherto had Occa'
sion to associate him with politics
He has been prominent at corner
stone layings and Confederate re-
unions. AS to what experience h,
may have had on the hustings we dc
not know. Mr.. Lumpkin is from
Georgia: but has been a citizen OF
this state for ten or twelve years
resentative of the Georgia railway
As to whether his candidacy is TO be
taken as a serious matter remains tC
be seen. There is no doubt about the
fact that he has as much right to rur
as any other citizen of the state; buI
his candidacy is so unexpected as tc
leave many people absolutely blank
as to what it means. whether really
in opposition to Senator Tillman
whether with a bona fide desire tc
go to the United States senate. OF
whether to assist i'm stirring up sutii-
cient factionalism to Overshadow even
