A Beautiful Spot.

One Of the prettiest places that we
have visited is the elegant home Of
Mr.. N. A. Carlisle of Newberry, S.
c. Mr.. Carlisle enjoys the advantag-
es Of city and country life. He has
an elegant home. But the thing that
most charms the visitor is the beauti-
full landscape in front Of the dwelling.
This is sown in grasses and planted in
rare trees and shrubbery. The lemon
tree with its golden fruit and the hol-
ly with its crimson berry and other
trees, not to be found any where else
in the south, makes the spot an Eden.
DR.. Latham once visited at this home.
Viewing this spot he said to Mr.. Car
Isle: 'FI would be afraid to live here,
lest my children would be St,
thoroughly content with its beauty
that they could make little effort TO
reach heaven" Mr.. Carlisle replied.
''I like for my children to be raised
in a beautiful home so they may the
better be fittd for the heavenly
home. R. S. Galloway in A. R.

A SUCCESSFUL YEAR.
DR.. Woling Submits Report Of the
Years Work at Central
Church.

Al the service on SunQdy at Ceu-
tral Methodist church DR.. J. W. VOL
ling, the pastor, submitted report
Of the years work. It is very graf
flying showing. The congregation has
grown and closes one of the most sue
cessful years in the history Of the
church.
The following is DR.. Wolling's re-
port:
After an absence Of twenty years
in the Brazil Mission of our Metho-
dist church, I returned to my native
State last year, and was just year
ago appointed by Bishop Morrison to
Newberry to Central church.
was willing, but not quite sure Of
what I could do after working in diff
ferent surroundings for so long. How
ever, as the year draws to a close /
am able to report a successful year.
As compared with the work Of my
predecessors | find that as far as the
record goes the pastorate Of Rev. S.
Il. Zimmerman was the most success
ful as to members received. In the
three years of his pastorate he added
to the roll of the church seventy eight
members.$ During this year the num-
Der of names added is eighty, or two
more than the total received in the
three years. 1t is to me very grateful
to be able to record sucn results, not
as a comparison but as a sign of re-
suits obtained during the year.
Also in financial matters the church
has done we'll. The cnurcn debt has
been reduced nearly two thousand
dollars, and the total raised for pas
torul support, benev >ie.t collections
and ,,s'cr objects an,'Ilrs t. five
thousand dollars, or 4 i;:::;re more. So
that I may fairly say this has for
Central been a successful year.
The various societies Of the church
nave been actively and successfully at
work. The amounts for the benevo-
lences Of the year, or conference col
lections, are not quite all in hand but
will be.
The following are the amounts. as

Not Guilty.

Will Rogers, colored, charged with
murder in the killing of Richard Gall
man, colored, on Mr.. H. H. EVans
Kinard place, in August Of this year,
was acquitted. Rogers was defended
by Mr.. E. S. Blease. The testimony
of all the witnesses was to the effect
that a number Of negroes were in the
house where one Marshall Burgess
lived, on the place, when Gallman
came in with a card in his hand, and
said something in joking way about
he had them, or to consider themseI-
YES under arrest, or something to that
effect, whereupon the gun fired, and
Rogers exclaimed that he was sorry
he did it-that he did not know the
gun was loaded. Gallman before his
death stated that he believed the
shooting was entirely accidental.
There was some testimony to the ef-
feet that when the gun was brought
into the house by one Of the negroes
that it was unloaded and the gull
and shell were placed on the table,
and that after that time a small boy
had been working with the gun, and
it was argued to the jury by counsel
for the defendant that Rogers had
reason to believe the gun was not
loaded and should not be held re-
sponsible for criminal carelessness.
The solicitor asked Tor a verdict of
manslaughter on the ground of Grim
inal carelessness, admitting that there
was no malice, but the jury took the
view that it was an accident for
which Rogers should not be held
blamable. The verdict was returned

Murder With Recommendation to
Mercy.
Tom Swindler, colored, charged
with murder in the killing of Hender-
son Chick, also colored, at Jalapa, Oh
Saturday, August s, was convicted of
murder with recommendation to mer-
cy. Swindler was defended by Messrs.
Blease and Dominick. The State 9
testimony was to the effect that
Swindler and a crowd OF negroes were
gambling on the Saturday in question,
and Elliott Chick, a brother Of the
deceased, won fifty cents Of dollar
which Swindler had on the ground and
picked up the dollar, putting down
fifty cents change, whereupon
Swindler pulled out his pistol and
told Elliott Chick to lay the money
down. The evidence was that one of
the other negroes told Elliott to put
the money down and that Elliott did
so. The States witnesses testified,
however, that Swindler continued to
hold his pistol on Elliott Chick, and
that Henderson Chick ran up and
grabbed around Swindler, and they
engaged in a tussle over the pistol,
the pistol being fired once in the tus-
sic, that shot not doing any damage.
It was testified that when the first
shot was fired Henderson Chick turn
ed Swindler loose and ran, whereupon
Swindler fired upon Henderson as he
was running, the bullet striking him
in the temple, passing through his
head and killing him. The defendant
and his witnesses contended that when
Henderson Chick ran up and grap-
pied with Swindler that Elliott Chick
also caught Swindler and that the
three were engaged in the tussle when
| the pistol fired. The case was given
to the jury on Friday afternoon, and
the verdict was returned late Friday
night.
Not Guilty. Z.
