IN THE WRONG PEW.

Escaped Criminals Rested in Laurcns
County and were Arrested by the
County Officers.
Two very foolish things were done
recently by two foolish negroes. The
hrSt foolish thing they did was to
commit two crimes and the second
foolish thing they did was to come
TO Laurens county to hide. AS a re-
suit of their two foolish acts. both of
them are now resting behind the bars.
John Wesley was arrested here sew

acter. Correspondence resulted i'm his

sheriff has arrived on the scene and

The other negro is Willis Briggs,

ENDOWMENT CAMPAIGN ENDED.
Forty Eight Thousand Dollars Were
Subscribed In this Presbytery for
the Joint Endowment Fund.

Columbia, S. c., May 13.-The Joint
Committee on Endowment at its last
regular meeting considered the report
or the canvass In Enoree Presbytery.
and 1t was found that almost $4,000
had been subscribed and that the
prospects OF getting the full $4,000
were hopeful. 1t Is all but certain that
$4,000 will be subscribed, and those
nearest the situation believe the whole
amount will be secured. The fact
that SO many of the churches in Emo
rec Presbytery are without pastors and
that the country roads have been so
difficult to travel have retarded the
work not little.
The Committee decided to make the
next canvass in Bethel Presbytery, and
to ask this largest of the Presbyteries
Tor $55,OOO. Arrangements for the van
vass will be pushed as vigorously as
is wise, and it is hoped that the can
Vass may be made early in June.
1t is the desire of the Committee TO
conduct the canvass in South Carolina
Presbytery before August, and then
to have the canvass in Harmony and
Charleston Presbyteries in time to
report to Synod, in Columbia this fall.

10 the Editor Of The Star:
We are asked to subscribe for q statue
to one Of these illustrious terrestrial
brave soldier, Maj. Butt, who was privi-
legged to die SO glorious a death
OF course we will subscribe, but why q
useless statue?
Are We going to follow in the footsteps
OF Paris and put statues at every turn
(more or less) and eighty more abuilding ?
The city is overfull of statues now, and
many of them could well be spared, from
an artistic point of view,
Why not put the money that is raised
into a memorial that will render service
commensurate with the tremendous sacri-
fee of heroic lives, brave and unafraid
In the face of death? Instead of q statue
I would suggest the endowing of q sea-
shore home for mothers and children. or
a convalescent home for mothers and
children, or a country home or q fresh
air fund. subscriptions devoted TO such
an object would accomplish two ends.
Do honor to the illustrious memory OF
our brave dead and help the unfortunate
widows and fatherless children over the
troubled waters OF this life.
