The Colleton Association.

This body convened with the Lit
tie Saltkehatchie church Friday Of
last week. The Introductory ser
mon was preached by Rev. J. M.

his closing words were pointed and
powerful.
The letters were read and then the
officers were elected as follows: F.
o. S. Curtis, moderator; clerk, J. s.
Griffin; assistant clerk, H. J. Givens;
treasurer, Jos. Langdale. The second
church of Walterboro was received
into the body. After announcements
the body adjourned and the congre-
cation enjoyed delightful lunch un-
der the trees in the yard.
The afternoon session opened with
the discussion of Temperance. The
report was read by Rev. B. F. Hal
ford, and it was vigorous paper and
was followed with a vigorous speech
by Bro. Halford. The Aged Minis
ters' report followed read by. Bro.
Curtis, and spoken to by him and
W. w. Keys. The body adjourned
for the day after the announcements
at 4 O'Clock.
Saturday morning the clouds had
cleared away and the attendance was
larger than the day before. The or
phanage, Foreign Missions and Sun
day schools received attention during
the morning, and good reports and
speeches were made on each subject.
DR.. Derieux on State Missions, Bro.

preaching on Sunday. The churches
were well represented and the spirit
of the meeting was excellent.
The church is situated In one OF
the good sections Of Colleton county,

tai, and took good care OF delegates
and visitors. The representative OF
The Courier fell into the hands OF
Bro. ]. H. A.. Carter, an alumnus of
Furman, and the principal OF the

two miles away, and a progressive
and prosperous farmer. >
The church is better known as

churches in the State, having on It's
roll more than four hundred names.
Rev.'E. W. Peoples has just closed
a pastorate of thirty-four years.

Another Negro Shot.

Last Saturday night William 1saacs
shot and seriously wounded Bounce
Miller. Both parties are negroes,
and the difficulty occurred out in
Varnville where it is said crowd of
negroes were gambling. From the
meagre reports we have been able to
get it seems to have been gambling
row. Miller was shot once with a
pistol, the bullet taking effect in his
left side and ranging downward. He
is getting along as well as could be
expected, but he is seriously wounded
and may die. Isaacs has been fire
man at the cotton mill. He claims
that Miller attacked him with a
knife and he was forced to shoot him
in self-defence. Isaacs is in jail.

Letter to Prof. E. PI Allen,
Banberg, S. G..

Dear Sir: We should like to set
your boys and girls at work on this
question in arithmetic and casuistEy.
A farmer is fatting three hogs in
three small pens; they have equal
room and straw and care, and are
fed in these three ways: first hog,
on a certain proportion of milk and
cooked cornmeal; second hog, on the
same, half water; third hog, on the
same, half water and sawdust. How
long will it take, how much will they
weigh, how much will they cost, and
what'll the profit be on the three?
And a similar question in pigment
cry. That same farmer is going to
paint three barns same size; and he
says to three painters: "what'H you
take to paint that barn?"
First painter scratches his head a
few minutes and says: "Iil do 1t
for $50"
Second painter: "$75."
Third painter: "$97.48."
Will they each get barn to paint,
or get two, or one all three, or no.
body any; and what'll they make on
the job?
That's about how painting goes
sometimes.
But there is a way to reckon: SIS
a gallon. The difficulty is in know
ing how many gallons to buy.
There's a way out of that.
Buy the least-gallons paint, Devoe.
No matter how much one buys; he
returns what's left: costs nothing.
Yours truly

SMALL GAINS ARE NOTED.
r. c. Dun g. Co.'s Weekly Review Of
Finance and Trade.

New York. Sept 12---R. G. Dun q
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade says:
Small gains are the rule in trade
reports, although changes are often IN.
significant and It is only in the ag.
gregate that any tangible progress can
be discerned. Interruption of holi.
day made comparisons with the same
week last year unusually adverse, but
industrial reports indicate that much
machinery that has been idle for many
months resumed after Labor day.
Production Of pig iron is now at a
higher rate than at any previous time
this year and many hands have re.
turned to work at textile mills, while
shipping departments in all wearing
apparel houses are beginning TO feel
the pressure OF demand for fall and
winter trade. Depleted stocks In the
hands of country merchants and conf.
dence in steady improvement in bust
ness encourage producers. although
actual contracts come forward con.
servatively.
Again the cotton goods industry re.
ports a better sentiment and more in
quiries that are expected to culminate
in actual business, but the volume Of
trade is not perceptibly altered.

IN A FLIGHT OF

AERoPLANE.

Machine Circles the Fort Myer Drill

rage Speed Of 80 Miles
an Hour.

Washington, Sept. 12.-In a hight
seconds, Orville Wright on Friday sur
passed all his previous exploits for a
time and distance flight for heavier
than air machine.
Two fights were made at Fort
Myer, Va, Friday, the first being OF
ten minutes and so seconds duration,
for the purpose of showing at what
rate OF speed he had been travelling
during his fights. This test demon.
strated, according TO the ayiator's cab
culation, that the speed of the aero.
plane during the record breaking
flights of Wednesday and Thursday
was 395 miles an hour.
To those who have witnessed Mr..
Wrights flights from the beginning,
the results, marvellous as they are, are
now regarded as a matter of course,
but the majority of those who wit
reused to great enthusiasm when the
aviator for the third successive day
broke his best previous record Fiji.
ty-seven times the machine passed
over the starting point during the 20
minutes that 1t was up. Twice the
aeroplanist described the figure "S,"
showing for the first time during his
Fort Myer flights that he could con.
troll his machine in any direction. A
feature OF the landing was that he
did not stop the motor until the ma.
chine touched the ground.
Octave Chauute, one OF the fore.
most aeronauts In the country, arrived
at Fort Myer Friday. "The Wright
brothers began their work in aeronau.
tics in an unusual way" said Mr..
Chanute. "Orville was convalescing
from scarlet fever and his brother
Wilbur read Pettigrew's book on aero.
nautics to him. Soon after the Aero.
nautical Annual was published and
the Wright brothers learned from its
pages what had been done toward
conquering the air. The experiments
started then"
