Ym fai’t Do It. What? Run a newspaper with out money! Though many of our customers think we can. If you are indebted to The Hrbalo, please settle now by cash or note. We need the money. planting on a pretty extensive scale. Success came to then from the start and now there are over 1,000 acres in grapes alone, beside the land de voted to other fruits. The land around Southern Pines I tears a striking resemblance to Springville and the soil seems about the same. It is jubt a high sand ridge the like of which can be found in several parts of the Pee Dee’ lec tion. The first comers settled the place for health and they not only found that but are making money also. While there is great room for im provement in our agricultural meth ods, the most essential need that con fronts us is the imperative one of an increase in our population, and this, as we have before remarked, can only be secured by making the great ag ricultural resources of onr section known to those who are seeking homes in the South. A considerable increase of the population in South Carolina, during the next five or ten years, will bring about results that will surprise the most sanguine, to say nothing of furnishing the sola tion to some of the social and politi cal problems that now confront us. We have received the last number of “The Southern States” and find its contents of very great interest. Being entirely devoted to the develop ment of the South, it should have a wide circulation and be in the hands of every intelligent citizen of the State, it matters not what his calling or profession may be, for he will find a great deal of information in its pages. It has the active support of the Atlantic Coaat Line and the Seaboard Air Line, the two great railroad lyttemi that rnn through this and the contiguous section in North Carolina, and contains articles descriptive of the agricultural re sources of the land traversed by these two lines. * * * We have had a number of applica tions for the copies of The Herai.d containing Mr. Pright Williamson’s essay on the uses and abuses of com mercial fertilizers, all of which we are unable to supply. We hope at an early day to print it in another is sue, in the form of a supplement, thereby making it more easy to pre serve. If all the farmers would sub scribe to The 1Ikiui.ii we could give them an essay on some agricul tural topic in every issue of the paper. We are unable to do this now owing to an insufficiency of patronage. Our aim is to make every issue of I’HE Hekalii better than its pre decessor, but this desire is impossi ble of accomplishment nnles* we can make our subscribers realize the im portance of paying what they owe us on their subscriptions. Everything iu connection with getting out the paper costs money and even with the most rigid economy the expenses are heavy and cannot be reduced. We sincerely trust that our readers will not forget the importance of paying up without delay. Almost any mitn can raise enough money for this pur pose. WHAT IttMIfilATIftl WILL M. To those of onr people who are skeptical or indifferent in regard to the importance of securing intelli gent immigrants for onr section, we call attention to a few things that . have been accomplished. In a very unpromising section of North Caro lina, in this direction by some Northern settlers. Ten years ago the section of coun try between Raleigh and Hamlet was just about as desolate and uninviting to the eye as any that could be found in the whole South. There were no villages or towns in the whole strip and the only settlements- were those of the turpentine farmers and their hands. It was not considered ns possessing any agricultural possi bilities and was valued only for its turpentine and timber. Some years ago the Stale Ceologist discovered that the jieople wh i lived in this section were entirely free from pulmonary and throat diseases. A short time after this a colony of invalids settled at Southern Pines, and from this small beginning it has grown to be a noted health resort and contains some very fine hotels. Nearly all the settlers were Northern people, and being thrifty and in dustrious they soon began experi menting with the apparently liarren soil upon which they had settled. It Was soon found that the sandy soil and dry air were very favorable to tho production of grapes and other frnlts, and as they bad fine transpor- facilities thepr mop began REV. i. fi. LAW’S FAREWELL Ts His i'sngregatisa Suday- Uteresting Services at the Presbyterian Chareh. Yesterday was a memorable and sad occasion for the members of the Presbyterian church, it being tbe day set apart for them to hear the farewell words of a much loved pas tor. It was not only his own people that regretted to part with him but the members of the other churches also felt deep sorrow at bis depar ture. There was uo service at either the Baptist or Methodist churches, the congregations of both turning out almost en masse to hear Mr. Law’s farewell discourse. It is almost needless to say that the congregation was a large one. be ing one of the largest that has lieen seen in Darlington for a long time. A great many people who rarely at tend service were there and listened with profonnd attention to the ser mon. The congregation Itegan to assemble some lime before the ser vice but were promptly stated by the ushers. In order that the members of Mr. I.aw’8 congregation might listen to the sermon without interruption, the arduous task of seating the large an dience was, by special request, nn dertaken by Messrs. Eugene Vaughn, E. R. Cox and W. D. Goggeshall and they managed It most admirably, getting everybody in place without tbe least confusion or trouble. The singing was very appropriate and was finely rendered by the choir. Mr. Law’s sermon was based on the following text: ‘-Finally breth ren, farewell, be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the Clod of love and peace shall be with you.” The opening words of the dis course were as follow* There are only t wo ways of sever ing the relation existing between A pastor and his flock iu the Presby* teriuu cbnrchl one Way is the disso lution of the pastoral relation by the Presbytery) the othef is by the hand of death. I Would have prefered the latter, but the providence of God has seemed lo indicate that the pas toral rela'ion formed fifteen years ago between the preacher and the peo ple composing the Darlington Pres byterian church should be dissolved by the hand of Presbytery. This day is an eventful one In the history of this chnrch. It terminates the relation that has existed so pleasant ly between pastor and people for the past fifteen years, and whin the clock strike* twelve tonight the pas toral tie that has bound ns together through all these rears Will be broken, and you and I. my brethren, will no longer sustain to dnch other the relation of pastor and people. Before proceeding to deliver my farewell message from the Word of Hod a brief review of my work will not lie out of place on such an oc casion ns the present, and msy prove I nth interesting and profitable to those who have sat under my minist ry through all these years. ' When 1 came to yon in otiedh-nce to yonr call fifteen years ago, and began my ministry among yon on the thiril Sabbath of .May 1879 I found upon the roll of yonr church membership 98 names. ’ Of this original number we have lost by death and removal about oiie-hnlr. Only AO of the original 98 nonies now appear upon the roll of membership. During the fifteen years of my ministry 199 names have been added to tbe mem bership of the chnrch, Miig an average of ulmnt 14 each year. Of this number too have been received on profession of faith, and Oil by certificate. We have lost 113 mem her*, 34 by death. 39 by certificate, 4 by erasure, 6 by retirement to tbe roll of baptized non-cornuuinicabts, and 1 by r* evtnmunicalluiij leaving a present membership of 183. Of this number 20 have removed from onr bounds leaving a resident mem bership of 133. At the beginning of my ministry we had only 23 mem bers in the corporate limits of the j town; now we have 78. The jiopu- talioii of the town has about quad rupled in the last fifteen years, se that our town membership has about kept pace with the increase in thi population. I have baptized 134 E ns, 43 on profession of their in the Lord Jesus, uml 92 in fants who were entitled toj.he right of baptism by virtue of their cove nant relation to God through thc fwith of believing parents. I huvt officiated at 80 funerals, performed 40 marriage ceremonies, made 2,000 pastoral visits, and preached 2,344 sermons, including prayer meeting services. Of the sermons preached 1,942 were delivered in the bounds of this congregation. The Sabbath school has increased from 25 to 120. Your contribution to the cause of Christ during the fifteen years of my ministry have amounted to the snm of $25,000, of which amount about one-half has been paid to your pas tor, and the balance to the varions benevolent schemes of the General Assembly, and congregational pur poses, including about $2,*500 in re modeling yonr house of worship, and about $1,200 in the erection of the beautiful and commodious parsonage that has reflected so much credit on the congregation, and has contribu ted so much to the comfort of the pastor and his family. Such, my brethren, is a brief summary of my work, and its vi8 : ble results, and now, brethren, my work among yon, with it* imperfections and blemit hes, is about to terminate, and the farewell word must be spoken. With grate ful acknowledgment of the good hand of the J/>rd upon us, devout thanksgiving for the blessings that have been so graciously bestowed in answer to prayer, repentance for the sins that have stained my life, and deep regret that so many precious souis have remained in a condition of impenitency under my ministry, I give you mv farewell message from the word of God. Tbe sermon proper was a clear and hicid exposition of the text, showing rnttch thought in its prepa ration and being reinforced at every point by appropriate and copious quotations from other passages of the scripture. The discourse was divided into the following heads: 1. Be perfect. II. Be of good comfort III. Be of one mind. Hear the call of yonr commander, to form into rank and file, and to get into order of battle. An humble estimate of each one’s own self, a love for one another, and a tender interest in each other’s wel fare, on the ground that they have a community of interests in the Christian life. Be of one mind iu seeking the ad vancement of Christ’s Kingdom. Be of one mind in praying for the jieace and prosperity of Jerusalem. IV. Live iu peace. Live in peace with God. The only way to live in jieace with God is to live by faith in Jesus Christ. Peaceful living in the church is necessary to secure the abiding pres ence of the Holy Spirit. The transgressor must live ]«ni- tently if he would live at peace with his conscience. V. God be with you. You have the source of love with yon. The God of love and peace be with you forever. Rev. J. E. CarlUe, pastor of the Methodist church, made the con cluding prayer, which was a very fervent and appropriate one. The doxology was then sung, and the benediction pronounced by the re tiring pastor. Mr. Law preached to the children in the afternoon and a very large number of them attended the ser vice.
