NEW DEPARTURE.
(hi the 22d of September last, pi putting on a new
arm, THE DAILY OBSERVER adopted the rule to
exclude an double column advertisement and all mi.
A fter Jive months of experience', tee have decided to
cancel the rtde. Double column advertisements neces
sitate the cutting of column rules, and these win be
charged twenty-live per cent more than our reyular

pages of the paper. The recent changes in the ar
rival and departure of mails, make it necessary that
clumges in contract advertisements be sent in by

Our readers must pardon us when in
the exuberance of our spirits, after
several esteemed contemporaries have
said nice things : about us we over
step the bounds of maiden modesty and
transfer what they say to these columns.
We hnd occasion just now to make this
semi-apology, and at the same time con
fess to feeling blushes innumerable
mount our damaged cheek as we set
forth to quote what our good brother
McDiarmid,of the liumbertOn Robeson
ian says of us in his last issue. If we
may venture to hope to be pardoned yet
another time we will remark that he
says that "The Charlotte Observer
is certainly one of the best daily papers
that comes to our office. It is very ably
edited and well printed."
The returns are coming in from our
recent, work on the South and Air-Line
roads, and while we are at it we will go
on and quote from our partial friend of
the Abbeville Press ana ' Banner, who
has already in the past said more of us,
we fear, than we deserve : :
The Charlotte Observer, .North
Carolina's best daily, now comes to
Abbeville -on -the-same day that it is
published. We like The Observer.
The small type -used on t hat paper is
more to our idea of good type than any
that we know of." 1 I

The success which has attended the
efforts of our former townsman, Gen.

industrial Unfversity, is truly gratify-
inS to his many friends in North Caro-
Rock, and the. Ihanoarat. of that citvrt
r' liU
noticing the object of his appearance
before the body.- has this to say of the
institution1 over ; which he presides:
'The Arkansas Industrial University
was never m so prosperous a condition
as at the present time. Over three hun
dred students .'are ' in; daily attendance
and the number is constantly increasing.
under the able management or tne
president, Gen. Hill, the institution
seems to have acquired new energy with
corresponding power for good in the
cause of education. The Legislature
will be asked for an appropriation for
the purpose of completing the buildings
now made necessary Dy the increased
attendance of the present term. We
hope our General Assembly will deal
justly and even liberally with the Uni
versity.
A History off Hopewell Cbnrcb.
We have received from the author.
Rev. Robert Lathan, a beautifully
Krinted volume of eighty-eight pages,
md in paper, just from the Yorkville
Enquirer office, entitled a "History of
Hopewell Church, together with .Bio
graphical Sketches of the Pastors."
This church, located in Chester county,
S C, is among the earliest founded in
the Southern section of the United
States, and its history is full of general
as well as local interest A glance at
the book convinces us that the author
has been at great pains to procure all
the facts connected with the struggles
of the pioneers of the church in the
Carolinas. ' while the stvle is graceful
and entertaining. The last half of the
volume is devoted to biographical
sketches of the four pastors, Bev. John
Jioyse, Rev. J ohn Hemphill, JJ. JJ Rev.
Warren lenniken and Rev. Robert
Wilson Brice, who had charged of the
congregation in the order named. .
it anything is needed beside the his
tory or the cnurcn as written oy Mr.
Lathan, to show the influence ltnas ex
erted on the religion of the Carolinasit

of the ministers of the gospel born and
