RHENEY CASE SETTLED.
Check Given to Norfolk Bank Paid
by Attorney.

The Spartanburg Journal of Thurs

with interest and costs. the warrant

From the bank record it appears
that when the draft cashed by the
Hotel Victoria reached Spartanburg
there was more than sufficient amount
on deposit to Rheney's credit to cover
the draft. When the draft was pre-
sented, however. Mr.. Rheney was out
Of town, and upon his return the
checks issued by his company IN the

in the bank. Rheney then sent CHECK

AT Ebenezer Church.

DR.. Wolling furnishes US the fol-
lowing notes Of his visit to the con-
gregation Of Ebenezer church.
At the request Of Rev. J. NJ. Fri
day, the pastor of Newberry circuit,
it was my pleasure to 60 on Sunday
afternoon out to Ebenezer church,
just, three miles away from Newber-
ry, where in other days stood the old
camp-meeting stand where many
soul-Stirring Go+pel sermons were
preached and no ooubt many souls
found light in believing.
On arrival we were met by Mr.. An
tine Buzhardt. who kindly carried US
into the church where the services of
the Sunday school were just closing.
With quite a group Of young people
to help in the singing, Miss Lille
Sligh presided at the organ and the
singing was very good. 1t was very
noticeable the number Of young peo-
pie in the congregation. Among
them we met Miss Laura Settler, who
has just graduated from the Newber-
ry College, and quite a number Of
others, whose names we do not recall.
Mr.. P. M. Hawkins is an active work
er in Eberezer church, though his
membership is at another.
We preached as best we could on
"The proof Of Gods love-" / at
the close had the satisfaction Of hear
ing many kind words Of approval.
Mrs. Alice Porter, who was along.
wanted to say some ''fine things"
about her preacher, but the Ebenezer
crowd stood up that Friday is as
good as any other day in the week
and their preacher just as eloquent
as the pastor of Central or any other
church.
I am due many thanks to Mrs.
Mary Langford, who in her fine turn
out, took me and her sister, Mrs.
Porter, for such pleasant drive
"over the hills and far away 1t
remains for me to say that MIR. Me-
Dufie Sligh is an official and one OF
the most active members in this
church. After the services he invited
us to stop by the way at his house. 1t
is truly beautiful rural home, and
after eating nice peaches and drink
ing refreshing water from their deep
we'll. We hurried home in the cool OF
the evening.
l would here insert the following
notice: The 3rd Quarterly Confer
ence of the Newberry charge will
meet at Ebenezer, July II and Is,
with preaching and the Conference
session on Saturday and services at
II O'Clock on Sunday.

HOW ROYAL MAIDS PROPOSE.

When a reigning queen Is to be
married she must be the one to broach
the subject first to her future con-
sort. The same rule holds good with
regard to all royal ladies who marry
commOners.
Queen Victoria hos told how she
managed to put thr question" to
Prince Albert--hcy; a-.a first showed
him Windsor and its beauties. and the
distant landscape, and then said: "All
this may be yours" The queen Of
Holland, on a like occasion, simply
sent a sprig of white heather, begging
Prince Henry to look out its meaning
in book of flowers and their mean
ings. BE
The Duchess of Argyll took the fol-
lowing means of proposing to- the
Marquis of Lorne: She was about to
attend a state ball, and gave it out
that she woud choose as her partner
for the first dance the man she in
tended to honor. She selected the
marquis who subsequently became
her husband.
But perhaps the most interesting of
all ways chosen was that of the Ouch
ess of Fife She took the earl, as he
was then, to a drawer and showed
him its contents. There he saw a
number of trlfles he had given her
at different times, including 4sprigs
of several kinds of flowers. now dead,
he picked for her at different times.
He was much impressed at the sight,
