There are some now liv- a ing who are old and gray and i whose form is bent and tottering to- v ward the grave, who cannot remem- ( - ber the birth of this association, f the except as they heard father and a ton mother speak of it. To some of! s el. these old scenes and the thoughts i rhe of long ago will pass through their v no minds as they think of the times I when father would saddle his horse I the two or three days before the con- t lth- vening of the body and ride per- 1 ith haps forty miles in order to attend I me to the things pertaining to the c an Kingdom of God. Doubtless there ; are hundreds of such men and C wo'nen to whom these thoughts aid will be as a voice from the un- c en known, for it is of their fathers 84 i and grandfathers and great-grand. w the fathers that I propose to say a few it Uir. things in a reminiscent way. The b ck men and women who gave life and s' impetus to the Twelve Mile River r( aer Association, whose names appear t: ras many times upon the rolls of the n, mn. minutes and years ago was written ti ur- in the Book of Life; the men and t1 ro women whose bones are ashes c: ;ies awaiting the resurrection of the fr just. The exact date of the organiza ey tion is not known, but it was about th nt 1830, and it will be interesting to w ug the Baptists at least to know that di of the 396 members of the association hE nd at the beginning have multiplied th ter to over three thousand; and this is does not include the members of se the churches now belonging to the gi I Piedmont, North Greenville and tb Transylvania associations which st once belonged to the Twelve Mile, tk for it will ber lled-that this as- m slociaiuo raced within its ter- w( " ritory the churches of this County w, and a portion of Anderson, Green- w ad ville'and Oconee counties and apart tb of North ICarolina. This was the lo Sbounds of the organization thenand in p- for a few years after, then some of be >Id the churches withdrew and formed Pi the Piedmont, while others united re ist with North Greenville, Transylva- WE ee nia and other associations. :he Eleven churches constituted the hi of organization: Keowee, Secona, SC gt Oolanoy, Cross Roads, Liberty, bE m Antioch and Peter's Creek in this al ens county; New Hope and Cheohee in hi an Oconee county, and Middle Fork re ias Saluda in Greenville county. From se those have branched off many oth. as ers until today instead of churches m res being miles apart they dot every si: hill and valley and are so numer- of e ous that the wayfaring man has A no excuse for erring. It would ci indeed be interesting to know' be- th for sides the three thousand and more re members of the associations now ti me living the number from the begin a! ning until now who have been 8] the membors of the various churches al -of the body. Many are dead, some bE rhave moved away others have been fr ian excluded anid in other ways have M drifted away and have been lost ui nsight of by their respective ai )churches. Perhaps if they were Si all known it would multiply many - fold to our astonishment. It was my privilege not long a since, by the kind jess of the clerk tr Sof the association, (and a great T od pleasure too,) to turn through the m time worn volume of the minutes ' igh and took occasion to count the 1 odead reported during the years. W or Twelve hundred and ninety-four! c< * This was the total. Think of twelve ai "do hundred and ninety-four gravea! si I'welve hundred aind ninety-four b~ Ssouls with the departed spirits v4 t awaiting the general judgment. nI And all from one little community. w Ad mon g these are some of the fath- fe tis 'ers in Israel, such as Cobb, Jacob n Leithe Kings, David Blythe, ei ary Burouighs, T. L. Roper, Joseph T N' Grisham, WV. B. ank G. WV. Single- h in- ton and many others that could be IV Snamed. SThe largest death rate was re- h s corded during the bloody years of t] ~ 62, '63 and '6O. Doubtless many noble men from this small body f< Sgave themselves a sacrifice for the b honor of their country. f fnd The most prominent character- 'I ble. istic of those who composed the t me membership of the churches and bn aber the association during the early t1 tyears of its existence was the deep a of the Twelve Mlo River Baptist Associationl..... >f God and each other. No other onclusion can be drawn when we onsider with what difficulties they ttended their meetings, the dis ance traversed and the modes of onveyance. Think of the membership of a hurch being scattered miles around .nd from their church, "nd yet vhen the meeting days came all vent afoot, or horse back or in ox arts; and they would go two, three, our and perhaps five miles to be .t "meeting." Especially was this o on Saturday, for this was the ay of great moment. As they rould wend their way through the iountain fastnesses, through val ays and over hills to reach the lit le church (perhaps built of logs) D hear "Daddy" Cobb, or "Elder" Eing or "Brother" Blythe nothing ould prompt to so act save the ure and uidefiled religion of brist. And as with the individual burch member so with the "Mes tigers" to the association. They ould travel mostly horseback;and was necessary that they leave ome a day or two before the as, )mbling of the body in order to ach the place in time. The coun. y was not as thickly populated as ow, the roads not as good, for ien it was up a hill and down, iey did not have the buggies and rriages to ride in and the distance equently was twenty, thirty and rty miles. The business of the body and e order In which it was conducted as quite different to that of to y. About the only rales ad ,red to by the present association at was practiced by our fathers the preaching of an introdutory rmon the first day and at the be nuiog of the meeting, enrolling e delegates and reading the con itution, By-Laws &c. After .ese preliminaries letters and essengers from other associations uld be called for. And there is always "Messengers." Thev )uld bear a personal letter from e association to which they be nged which would be fraternal spirit and tell of the blessings towed upon the churches in that rticular body and urge the breth n to go on conquering sin and >rking for the Master. It would a letter of . exhortation and otherly loye and would consume me time in reading. It would prepared by some one specially pointed for that purporse and by m carried to the association and ad. Frequently there would be veral Messengers from the same sociation and each perhaps >uld have something t- sayof the iritual condition of the churches the association they represented. ad there would be several Asso tions to send Messengers abd by e time each of the letters, were ad and talks made considerable me would be consumed. After this the association would ~point a number of brethren, out three to each Association, to ar like greetings and messages m this body to those who se-nt essengers to this. This would ally constitute the day's work, d the day would usually be on ~trday. Sunday would be devoted to the rship of God. Services would ally begin at 9.o'clock and con ue until late in the afternoon. ere would usually be four ser ons preached by four different on, two in the forenoon and two .the af ternoon, and these services are usually attended by large rgregations from far and near d the meetings conducted in the irit of a revival. There have n in these meetings many con ~rions and great bhowers of bless gs upon the people. Indeed it as made an occasion of spiritual asting. These worshipers were ted for their deep piety and rev ence for things not earthly. hey were generous and kind, large arted and hospitable. They ere indeed Christians. At the session of the Association 31d in 1833 the following iesolu on was passed: "Resolved, That the Saturday be re the first Lord's day in Novrem 3r next be set apart as a day of sting, humiliation and prayer. hat on this day the churches of 2s Association be, and they are ereby requested, to assemble in eir respective placeso nd there with fervent, lowly and vent and earnest prayers to A mighty God, that He would vis our churches and settlements I the power of His Holy Spirit, an carry on His woll-began work, ui til many who are in the gall of bi terness may come to know the Lor in the pardon of their sins." It is safe to say that this resoli tion wrs carried out by the peop' for they were strict in the obsei vance of every religious duty ei pecially enjoined by the church c the Association. And it is safe i say also that the "Spirit of t Lord was upon them" and wit them and that many souls foan the Lord in the "pardon of thei sins" as a result. What worthie object could have claimed the "fasting, humiliation and prayer than that those in the "gall c bitterness may come to know th Lord in the pardon of their sins." The writer can remember in hi early life when the custom of "fasl ing and prayer" was practiced b Baptists, Methodists and PresbytE rians, and it does seem that in thos days the people were better Chria tians, more trustful of each othe and of God, more brotherly lov and a greater spirit of forbearanc and forgiveness. Bat who eve: hears of a church assembling an( engagiing in "fasting, humiliatiol and prayer" for a whole day i these times of rush and bustle There is not that confidence, broth erly feeling and toleration amoni Lhe church members of toda; which characterized our fathers t say nothing of their spirituality. To day every man is in the rus for the dollars-and if he can ge all his neighbors have he is thai much more the happier and rejoicei greater. The thought of fastin, and prayer never once enters th( mind of the average church mem ber, much less engaging in thE act. We need to get back into the olh paths of our fathers in many thing, espeCially are their examples of pure and undefiled religion worthy of our imitation. A BAPTIST.

R. & W. to Begin In a d Short Time-Bids Called For on Grading and Building Trestles. t H. H. Prince, who with R. E. d Johnson and W. T. Kreamer, is interested in the rebuilding of the - old C. K. & W. road from Green le ville to the foot of the Blue Ridge mountains, said to a News man ' that the contract for all the neces r sary crossties for the road had been 0 let, the crossties to be dalivered e right away. h In a few days it is expected that I active work on the road will be-gin. As will be seen in the advertising r columns of the News, General Man ir ager Prince has asked for bids to finish the grade of the old . K. & W. railroad from Marietta to River e view, ? Mr. Prince has also advertised a for bids on the building of trestles on the road from this city to Ma y rietta. Those who wish to make a bid can secure a profile and esti e mates from Mr. Prince. There has been many rumors dur r ing the past few years in regard to e the rebuilding of this road. It is e the general belief now, however, r that the road is sure to be built by 1 those in charge-Messrs. Johnson, 1 Prince and Kreamer. These men have, as previously stated in the News, purchased thousands of acres of valuable timber land in the upper portion of this county, and to gain easy access to the tim ber they propose to rebuild this road to be known as the "Saluda 1 Valley Road." t For some time the people along t the route cf the road have been makine an effort to have the road rebuilt. In the past few days sev eral of the leading citizens of the upper section have been seon by a News man and they are all thor, oughly delighted over the prospects of having an opportunity in the near future of riding to Greenville in a passenger coach or hauling producis to the city in a freight car instead of the present slow process. To have the old C.K. & W. road rebuilt will be a great advantage to Greenville in many ways, it will build up a.larger trade with that section of the county and place the city in closer touch with the peo pie of the upper section.--Green v'ille News.t c TWO CAPTURED A COMPANY. t A prominent feature around Mis sissippi headquarters, which were the liveliest in line, was Judge Harris of Memphis, Tenn., who I was a Mississippian prior to his removal to Tennessee.

The Charlotte Chronicle says-: It is believed that a special term of the United State3 court may be held in this city in the near future for the trial of the case of against Major William E. Breese, charged with being implicated in the wreck. ing of the First National 'Oank of Asheville. The regular term of the district court will convene here on the second Monday, and this may be followed by a special term for the trial of Major Breese. It will be remembered that the case was to have come up on March 0, but it was necessary to postpone the term on account of the illness of the wife of Judge McDowell, who was to have presided. There has 'been no intimation as to what judge will be designated to preside at this trial, This is one of the most impor. taut and interesting cases that has ever come up for trial in the west errt district of North Carolina. Soon after the collapse of the First National Bank of Asheville, sever. l years ago, it was charged that the failure was due to the criminal larelessness of Major W. E. ,Breese, the president: Mr. W. H. Penland, he cashier, and Mr. J. E. Dicker. ion, a director, of the institution. [u a word, it was said that- ~se men had deliberately robbe;i itockholders and depositors of the )ank. It was alleged that they got ;he personal use of all the funds of he bank save about $400 in mu ilated currency, and, that, to -over the deficiency, they put up, Ls assets of the bank, notes which vere endorsed by irresponsible peo )le. The public is familiar with the ase against Major Breese, which Las come up for trial three times -twice in Asheville and once in barlotte. Judge Thomas R. Pur. tell, of Raleigh, presided over the rst trial and Judge John Jackson, f West Virgmia, over the second. 7he third trial was held in Char otte and was presided over by udge McDowell, of Vest Virginia. kach trial resulted in a mistrial.
