At its recent cession in Williamsion, the South Carolina Presbytery unanimously admitted Dr. Jame< VVoodrow t ill m?>mhprslim on exaininati >n anil 01 letters from the Presbytery of Augusta, Ga , of which he his been for many j;ears a member in fail standing. As Dr. Wood row's relation to the Church and the Presbytery h-is been a miuter of much misco ception and misrepresetitatio-i, it may not be amitS to give a review of hi* ?-a-e. Before the war, while a member of the Angiuta Pre-byteiy, he was elected to a professorship in the Theological Seminary. Daring all his connection with the Seminary he retained his mmmm membership in the Augusta rresoyterv. When tl.e Synods in control of the Seminary removed him from his professorship on account of his mild views on evolution, which he has always strenuously claimed were not at variance with the strictest interpretation of the words ot the Bih'e, that teach merely that man was created "from the dust of the ground" without specifying the means of creation, the Asgnsla Presbytery upheld him, and acquitted him triumphantly of all charges ot heresy, juid even made him moderator of a session while he was under fire. It h*s ever since declared him to be in full standing as a minister and a Presbyterian. After Dr. Woodrow left the Seminary he endeavored to connect himself with the Charleston Presbytery, within whose limits he was residing. That this Presbytery is sotne.vhat peculiar t in its views is shown in the Sadie Means telephone case, and in other v 'natters. Some of its members were on unpleasant personal relations with Dr. Woodrow, and after a hot fight, a majority refused to admit him, ?ntth/vnrrh ho hnH fhA TlOCMSftl'V IfitfOl* from the Augusta Presbytery. Dr. Woodrow has-all along desired to join Mis Charleston Presbytery, because he considered it to be the ouc with which to couuect himself, since he resides in its jurisdiction. At it? recent meeting, the General Assembly declared that Dr. Woodrow was a member of the Augusta Presbytery uutil he joined some other. This being regarded as a decision that a minister may belong to a Presbytery without residing actually within its limits, and the Charleston Presbytery still being unwiiliug to admit him, Dr. Woodrow has entered the South Carolina Prcsbyteiy whose jurisdiction extends just across the river from Columbia. In view of the slurs and slanders that have been uttered to the effect that Dr. Woodrow has been "turned out of the church", it is well to reaam!?mUia? 1 Ka hos fr?r iott Ail-tl HV> iJu>j WV4I ?V ? more than thirty years a member of the Augusta Presbytery; 2.1, that on the refusal of ihe Char!e?ton Presbytery to rcceive him, he was declared by the Geueral Assembly to continue to be a member of the Augusta Presbytery, until received elsewhere; and 3J, that he is now a member ot the South Carolina Presbyteiy; 4th, that the refusal of the Charleston Piesbytery to admit him had no effect whatever upon his standing as a minister, j and that he has never cca?ed to be a j msmhi." in ornml Standing ill S )ine I Picsbytery; 5th, that it is said (hat he could at any time have entered any Presbvtery in the State except the Charleston Pre-byterv. Those who know Dr Wood row well know that he is one of the s'rictest Calvinisiic Theologians in the world, that he believes in the inspiration of every word of the Iiible, in the Westminster con legion s so far as it conforms to Iiible teachings. They have : been partly amnsed and partly indignant at the charge that ^e is a heretic of an infidel. It seem.sto a layman that the Church, instead of attempting to combat Dr. Wood row, would do well to uphold j him iu his belief that Science and the i Bible do not contradict one another. r Otheiwise it raav induce many to take ciiloc <1 <r<iint (ho C!hnrr>h. when thov! beliove they see something inconsistent j ~~ in Nature with the interpretation of; texts by those who died long before many accepted scientific truths weie ever heard of, and will hold the Bible responsible for the mistakes of iiood, but ignorant men.

The Atkinsons Met Death KravcJy?Jaspjr Denounces Tilniun and Othera?No Confession, No C' aiii of Innocence* I On Thursday evening before the day j appointed for (he hanging ft' J -hn and Jasper Aik:nson, speculation was rile j as to whether ti e Governor would j commute the sentence to life imprisonment. About dark, an unusual sight! was observed in the jail; it was lit up and fccveral parties were seen in il e corridor. John Atkinson was seen from the steeds wiping his eyes with a handkerchief. The purport of the movement in the jail was soon made known. Tbe attorneys for the con demned men had received a telegram about 7 o'clock which read as follows: "Xo hopp; the Governor wil! not commute", signed O. W. Buchanan. This was communicated to the sheriff, and Dr. \V. S. Stokes was soon on hand an J repaired 10 the cell of the doomed met! to offer spiritual aid and comfort alter this message had been conveyed to them. The prisoners asked for a light, saying they would not sleep and decired to read daring the night. The r(quest was at once complied with by he sheriff at:d a night watch was put on. Both men staid in the same c^ll as it was the last night they were to spend on earth t< gether. There was a suspicion that perhaps nrrai gements were being made to remove them to Columbia, as it wns thought by some that perhap? a message might come trotn the Governor to move them in the night. iiut tlie early morn di.-pelhd any such idea- As early us G.30 in Ihe morning parti* s fruin the neighb?rhood of th* Atkinsons were seen on the street*; and at 6 45 a w:igon was seen coming d>wn street with four white men on it which turned out to be the wagon to take the bodies to the grave. They drove into the jail yatd and unhitched. Curious crowds od around the jail \a?d and the town wore an unusual appearance. A brother of one and an uncle of the other condemned men weut to the cell about S.45 to bid them farewell. The nartinor CrPTIA WJI5 Drlitlftll illdeOd. I? O T They asked him to try and meet them in heaven, and told him to never do anything that was wrong. Ttiey both displayed considerable nerve at the parting, but the visiting relative was moved to tears. About 9 o'clock the shejiff made the final adjustment of the rope and every preparation was made complete. After the relative of the condemned men left they at once commenced to die-s for the ex cation. They were alwaxs carcfnl about their personal appearance, even when going to the court house. A watch was kept over the cell during the morning afcer the ni^ht watch was off. The sheriff had appointed 11 o'clock <".?! thf? Imnr of pxecntion. B\* 9.29 every de'.ail had been arranged, and the hands on the clock seemed slowly but surely (o'y>U around lo the fateful hour. At 9.iJ;plue coffins were hauled into the yard, two plain pine coffins, and placed in a boggy house. The crowd viewed them with an air of curiosity. Abcut 9.30 the attorneys visited the prisoners and they seemed to be bearing np very well. Jasper compained cf not feeling well as he had ??ot *Iept any. They requesied their altorue>s to a?k the sheriff to open tbe wooden dour at?d give them some fre>h air as the ce 1 was very ( lose with the door cioscd. A few minutes after 10 o'clock Ilcvs. Stokes and McDonald visited the condemned men. They expressed lull faith in Christ and said they had no hard feelings against any one They were jast a little nervous in this interview. Weights were put or. the ropes in order te stretch them. 11.05 the sheriff cleared the yard of a'l crowds but surrounding sheds and elevations were lined with people on the outside of the enclosure. Soon a small number were admitted at the gate upon presentation of a ticket by each party. At 11.27 the? sheriff, accompanied by the attorneys, several deputies and Rev. Mr Stoke*, proceeded to the cell of t!-.e doomed men. He carried in his had a couple of pairs of shackle?. Dr. Buchanan, the county physician, stood in company with Dr. Jeter and Dr. J. 1>. Douglass. At cxactly 1G minutes t> 12 the condemned men walked upon the scaffold, the trap door was put in order. The sheriff, llev. Mr. Stokes, and a deputy went up with them; they were handcuffed, their hands behind them. Jasper, in a clear strong voice, said: "I want to tell you all that I have not been rightly treated by the State of South Carolina nor the people of Fairfield County; Governor Tillman lias not treated me right. You have all heard him say he had nerve and the backbone. I say that I have the nerve and backbone to stand here and say that he has not done right. He has lis-oned to the anneal of nreindiced people; but I am the boy with the nerve and backbone to meet death. If you have a wife stay at home with her, or a father and mother stay with them, if you are in bad company vow will be judged by your company and not by your innocence. It is hard to be wrongfully separated from a dear companion. I am as dear to my companion (wife) as you aye to yours/' lie thanked the sheriff and said he should be re-ele.ted; thanked Deputy D E McDowell, and Andv, the jailor. He called up Mr. E li. Ragsdale and thanked him for what his firm and Mr. J. G. Mcl'ants had done. John called Rev. Mr. Stokes up three times to pray for them, and he prayed earnestly and feelingly. At 12.0o the sheriff adjusted the knot and at exactly 12.00 the drop fell and John and Jasper Atkinson swung into eternity. There was a shriek in the streets by some woman as the thud was heard. John was pronounced dead in 14 minutes, Jasper in 18 minutes. In a short space of time the bodies were cu;. down and put in the coffins and taken to Richland County for burial. Both of their necks were b uk n and death wa instantaneous. The execution was a success in every detail. ii<>t the slightest mishap oc cur. cu iiiu Mienii evuifii nv v-\? | citemen: and ? look of re ief c me j owr liim nficr :ill was over. Kev j Mr. Stokes thought, so we hear, that John \v:ui to I i<> confers, but courage f;ii ed liiiu; the attorneys say that the i piisoiiers expected Mr. Stoke? to ask if they were guilty and would have flatly denied it. They, however, did not protest innocence but only said they had not been fairly treated. John's brother attempted to attack a young Mr. Moore with his knife while the bodies were still hanging, but was stopped The sheriff gave him some wholesome advice and hushed him up. More trouble is expeoted but the advice Jasper Atkinson gave on the gallows had better b ; heeded A crowd was at Ridge way Thursday night to intercept the Atkinsons in caie the Governor had started them to the penitentiary by that route. Public opiui >n is unanimous as to their guilt. Thus ends the murder of John H. ( lamp. HISTORY OK TIIE CRIME. The history of the crime for which these two unhappy young men have suffered the penalty of their lives by an ignominious death upon the gallows reveals both the unerring truth of the old adage, "murder will surely out," and that the assassination of John II. damp was carefully premeditated and concealed, to all appearances, by such art as would prevent suspicion falling upon the murders. Yet, by the instinctive faculty of the "born detective," Mr. R. D. Bolick leading him at the outset of his connection with the crime as constable to suspect the complicity of John Atkinson from the demeanor and state of mind lie evidenced, a chain of testimony was from day to day wound around the two cousins that inevitably concluded in the verdict, guilty, found against them upon their trial. On the last Saturday night of the month of January, 1893, Mr. II. A. scares, who was tnen noiumg me officc of trial justice at Ridgeway, was aroused about 11 o'clock by John Moore and John Atkinson who had come to notify the coroner and thus allay all suspicion from attaching to himself. They said John II. Clamp had been found foully murdered on his pkcc when returning home late from town, in company with his son, a lad named Peter, about fourteen years old, and 110 one could imagine who had killed him. Getting Dr. S S. Linder and Mr. Uolick, haste was mace to reach the spot where Clamp still lay wiltering in his blood. At first the moon shore half dimly through L1JU UJUUU5 gamut lUg lit ?iiv^ u^uvuuo and lighted the company on their forlorn and gruesome path, bnt on the way this little, light altogether failed and the entire party rode closely together for guidance and protection as Moore led the advance and kept the straight road. Mr. B^lick began ques tioning John.Atkinson about the character of Clauip, who his enemies were, and who could most leasonably be suspected of a crime so great as this committed only two hours before. John could give no clue as to any particular enemies Clamp had made, but as he lived upon the place as a tenant he knew him well, and while he did not like to speak ill of the dead, still he couhl but say so and so; and proceeded to give such a reputation to Clamp as would lead one to wonder he had been suffered to live as long as he did. He referred to the waylaying the year a?;o that < lamp had experienced on his ret mi i from Columbia with, as was thought, ;i large sum of * ?v i. 1_^J1 J.J money on ins person, wnicn nau euueu in no one being definitely suspected. Now, it is u principle of human nature that, with a person so foully dealt with as Clamp, had been such a few inoment< ago, one might say, before, a man who knew him well, lived on his place,: nd, as he said, getting on together in a most friendly manner, would, if his mind had been in a natural slate, have spoken only good of his dead friend, magnified the good points of his character, excused or passed over in silence the most that couM be said of lum, and, in short, be so overwhelmed with the shock of the dreadful anair as not to exhibit tne calm and reflective state of mind John Atkinson evidenced in speaking of his murdered friend. Whether or not Mr. Bolick thus generalized, his irstinclive detective faculty was aroused with immediate suspicion, and, after exhausting the conversation \yith Atkinson, he gradually fell b;i?k iD the cempanv and whimpered i*? ilie trial justice that he believed ."l^hn Atkinson to be involved in Chimp's murder, and that when the place where Clamp lay in the road, was reached. Atkinson iconld not $toj> there, but go on to the house. The constable was requested to keep I a *>c f 1 r\^n oc unccihln nnnn liim and, thus, it, was discovered, as soon as the scene of t lift murder was reached, John Atkius->n alo.ie was absent, and Jasper, when Jolui was called, said his cousin had none to the house to get sowthimj to eat. Mr. Rolick immediately proceeded as rapidly as possible up the half-mile of the road t<> J lie uouse, ?nd ther -. iu the rear, came noon John and Sirs. Clamp in earnest, conversation. The: neighbor < had not as yet gathered, :n?l Mr7 IJolick proceeded to search the premises. In a rear room, with an. opening only 'ftrouffh the main sitting room or *.b?- hou*.?~ and which MrClamp used as an ottice, as it were, to keep his private papers and the like, Mr. Bolick found a gun, which had been evidently freshly shot off". It is. supposedtlm. it was in the interval between Atkinson and Mr. Bolick's getting to the house the gim which was used to slay Clamp was returned to his room, though this point wasnever definitely settled?by John Atkinson?Mrs. Clamp deposed before the jury that, she had noticed Jasper come ioto the house from the rear door a few moments before Peter came ia with the news of his father's death But, as she also deposed to Jasper Viniiiff in horl tnms filTlP- !)nrl aroused by Peters coming:, this matter remains till novr unsettled. By the light of torches it was found that the murderer had lain iu ambush in a large tree top just touching tlie road at a "bend -where- Clamp -would for Infants a? MOTHERS, Do_ ? T3a*awiovi't?

Peter, Clamp's son, had been riding ahead, and the report of the gun caused him to be thrown and somewhat bruised, though he was able to run the distance home and tell his mother he feared his father had been shot. The road he traveled to the house described an angle, so that the divert distance from, the scene of the murder to the house was considerably Shorter, going over .a hmnnh. through a lar^i; bottom, then soft with repeated raiiis, and seldom used on that account as a path. Until daylight, nothing could be done to search fur evidences of this dreadful crime, and the interval was employed in sending oil'for neighbors to form a coroner's jurv and removing the body of the unfortunate man to his house. As soon, however, as the first indications of dawn were seen in the east, the coroner, Mr. lioiick, the physician, and Mr. Lipscomb, proceeded to the spot, and a most careful search was made in the vicinity. The result was | that a single track was found in the,1 soft mud of the bottom referred to, of a man, running in places, because) uie liuijrussiuii* u*.-? u wt* uttj/ ??>? * far apnrv^j^the l e.s much depressed. That was f</^wed till lost on trie Tiill where the house was situated. In addition, it was found that so closely had the murderer lay to his intended victim's path, the waddinsr of the load had been forced entirely through with the shot, and piece-? were found shattered on a tree opposite the ambush in which some of the buck shot* lay embedded. -"The track in the bottom was most carefully measured and its peculiarties noticed, the minute pieces of powder stained and blood-red paper used as wadding carefully marked and preserved, and about a dozen shot extracted from the trees. This track hanged Jasper, and these pieces of wadding convicted John as accessory. On returning, the jury was organized, and an investigation .held. The room on the left of the house as you enter was used by John Atkinsou, as his i ft eftflrnll W.OS UCU1UUII1 j UfMU u> uuiiuvv vvu4 v?4 fi ??v | made of it, finding in the trunk audi behind it, pieces ot torn copies of this j newspaper?which were all carefully I marked and preserved for closer ex- j animation. The examination of the witnesses being, by the direction of the jury, held separately, it was deposed by members of the household that on the afternoon preceeding the murder the two cousins had taken Mr. Clamp's gun, expressing a desire to hunt for a rabbit they had seen behind the house in a certain hollow, possibly a quarter of a mile off, and that the shooting of the gun had been heard, which statement was corroborated by the testimony of some close neighbors- Mean while there had been disseminated in some mysterious* manner during the silent hours of the night, as the members of the jury had waited for daylight to commence their, investigation, a feeling of suspicion agaiost these two condemned men, resulting in their keeping aloof and then again moving briskly around the place, as watch was kept over the dead murdered man in the room where he lay. "When, therefore, on their examination, a denial first was made that the gun had been discharged in the hollow, then, an admission giver 'hat it had been shot to kill a rabbit, out that the shot had missed, the first fatal link was forged in the evidence that has brought them to the gallows. At the request of the jury, the two Atkinson* accompanied them to the i place where Mr. Bolick had observed the track, and when it was found tbat in every particular the track was identical vri'h that of Jasper, the minds of tlm?e present became strengthened in their suspicions. The jnrv returned, but before that John had fled?neither j cf the two men beiiiif "\et arrested, j This negligence on the part ot the ! constable permitting tiie escape, howj ever, was repaired by his overtaking j John eating a hasty meal in akins j man's house a mile away preparing lor ^ a lengthy flignt; and the jury felt justiS tied jn causing the arrest of the A'kinj sons o i possible guilt?presumed. The (jury was discharged, the prisonevs H cotnmithd, and the crowd dispersed. I Next day was set for the burial of i; Clamp, and, taking advautage of the jj occasion, the constable, with a small ii party determined to lerret out, if posl sible, this crime, and avenge the foul ? blot on Fairfield'sescntcheon by bring!| ing to justice the parties guilty of this n heinous murder, proceeded again to : to the farm of Clamp with the object, J of making a more prolonged and tborjj ougli search of the premises for addiI tional evidence. I On this day, the "rabbit hollow", as the place was Darned on the trial where i the gun was heard fired off the afterI noon before the murder, was searched ; in a systematic and most c^refal man: ner.

Oh! for the same reason that thousands of others are on the verge of the same sin, or in immediate danger of insanity, paralysis, idiocy, or some other equally unfortunate result of any nervous affection. He knew he was afflicted with a nervous disorder, but was careless, apparently indifferent to the outcome ; or he may have lessened his chances for recovery by treating with physicians who had little or no knowledge of such affections, or by deluging himself with worthless so-called remedies. His case was a sad one, but no worse than that of a-iy other nervous sufferer, who has nervous or sick headache, biliousness, dizziness, irritability, melancholy, failing memory, hot flashes, fainting, sleeplessness, nervous dyspepsia, sexual debility, epilepsy, etc. The same or similar consequences are likely to res.ult to any one who has any of these advance symptoms of an awful end.
