Change in Preachers.

Much interest was manifested In
Bamberg Tuesday morning over the
Methodist appointments. 1t was a
surprise to our people that Rev.
Peter Stokes was moved, but we are
all glad that he gets such good ap-
pointment. He goes to Trinity
church, Charleston, one Of the very
best churches in the conference. Rev.
T. G. Herbert comes to Bamberg,
and we feel sure our people will be
delighted with him. He was junior
preacher in Sumter when we lived
there some years ago, and is young
man of most pleasing personality,
strong character, anda goodpreacher.
He married young lady Of Sumter.
Knowing both he and his wife, it is
with a great deal of pleasure that we
welcome them to Bamberg, and we
know it will not be long before they
have a warm place in the hearts OF
all our people.
Rev. S. w. Danner, who with his
brother conducted a meeting here
last summer, comes to the mill chapel
in place of Rev. J. G. Thomas. Mr..
Danner made a fine impression when
here, and no doubt the work here
will prosper in his hands.

Slauahtered the Anthem.

"When went west first" said a
Unitarian minister, II was in q small
town called L., and in the choir OF
my church the village blacksmith did
noble work as baritone. He had a
voice that could shake mountains, and
whatever 1t lacked in any other fea-
ture it made up in volume. he
couldn't read music any more than he
could English. but he learned tune
very readily.
zone Sunday we were to be favored
with a new anthem because It was a
special occasion, and the baritone had
one portion all to himself. Unfortu'
nately he had missed many of the
practices.
sThe anthem went along excellent
" until It came to beautiful part
which reads. And, dying, bids US all
aspire
"Here the rest Of the singers stop
ped short in that quick, sudden way
that ehDirs have, and in the ensuing
stiffness sounded the ponderous tones
Of the blacksmith:

fire. e.'"-Bostonerald.

DOCK NELSON RESPlTED.
Governor Ansel Grants Him a Lease of
Life Until January 18th.


H. M. Graham, ESQ.,, and Clerk of
Court C.. B. Free went up to Columbia
Monday night and appeared before
Governor Ansel and asked for a re-
prieve for Dock Nelson, the negro
who is in jail and was to be hanged
next Friday. Mr.. Graham had been
circulating a petition to this effect,
and it was numerously signed. The
governor granted a respite until Fri
day, January 18th.
The sheriff had gone ahead and
made arrangements to execute Mel
son, and for several days the con-
struction of the scafold and other
arrangements had been going on
under the very eyes of Nelson, but it
seemed to make little impression on
him. In fact he has never seemed to
realize that he was going to be hang
ed, or if he did it evidently made
little difference with him.
1t is likely that Mr.. Graham will
make efforts to have Nelson's SEN
tence commuted to lifeimprisonment,
and the stay of execution was grant
ed in order that he might have time
to get the matter in shape for pre-
sentation to the governor.
It will be remembered that Nelson
was convicted of killing another
negro, Eddie Simmons, at a negro
hot supper. He was tried last April.

Mr.. w. r. Hughes Drops Dead.

UNION, Dec. l.. The people of
Union were greatly shocked this
evening on learning Of the very sad
and tragic death Of MIR. W. F.
Hughes, proprietor of the Union
carriage works.
A particularly sad feature is that
his wife, Mrs. W. F. Hughes, pre-
ceded her husband to the grave by
less than a month, having died sud-
denly after returning from the State
fair on November 5.
Mr.. Hughes has been very unwell,
but had accepted an invitation to
take tea with his friend, Mr.. R. w.
Mellow. Just as he was leaving the
table he fell back and expired in a
minute or two.
He is survived by one chi: !. a boy
Is years old, who, owing to his deli
cate health, appears very much
younger.
Mr.. Hughes was a man Of sterling
character and was highly regarded
in his adopted home, having come
here from Orangeburg about eight
years ago. Before going to Orange
burg Mr.. Hughes resided in Bam-
berg, where he has many relatives.
Funeral arrangements have not yet
been announced.

IF. RoUNTREE CONVICTED.
Found Guilty of Receiving Stolen
Property.

BARNwELL, December 3-Isaac W.
Rountree and James F. Rountree
were this afternoon found guilty Of
receiving stolen property, knowing it
to be stolen. It will be recalled that
J. F. Rountree is indicted for the
murder of Capt. R. F. Weeks at
Dunbarton. By those interested in
the prosecution of the charge of
murder it is claimed that Rountree
killed Weeks because of the warrant
sworn out by Weeks, charging him
with receiving stolen property, know.
ing it to be stolen. The charge Of
receiving stolen goods was tried first
and the jury found both J. F: Roun-
tree and his father guilty: It is not
likely that the case charging murder
will be tried this term, the prosecu-
ton hoping to secure additional evl-
dence by the next term Of the court.
