V The Press and Banner. Greenwood Department. EDITED BY W. K. BLAKE. ???????? * Wednesday, April 23? 1884 Presbytery of Sonlh Carolina. We boarded the train of the Columbia and Greenville railroad in company with other delegates to tho Pre*bytory ol {South Carolina. on the evening of the 1 Itli *?4 ?4 A"- u -jQ normidnrahlv lnsiaiu. v/ui ikiwuv. ~ reinforced at Hodge*. Donalds, Anderson Arid other points along the tine, till quite a large, well ordered and well behaved crowd hud collected. As wo neared Seneca City, the polite and attentive conductor, Hmith, unformed hi* passengers* that If they wished supper, his train would convey them to the Keoweo llotcl, await their pleasure, and bring them back to tho depot. We thought this was something new, and that wo inust bo merging into an udvauced civilization, where railroads had resorted to acts of accommodation simply. Arriving at Seneca al?out sunset, sure enough; the train moved forward froth the depot to the hotel, and returned. After ashort white the Westward-bound Air-Line train arrived ar.d was as considerate of the comfort of its passengers as was the Blue Ridge t ain. In a few moments we were all aboard the Air-Line train, and dashing along at a rapid speed, very soon the conductor called out (Westminister), we began to think we must be getting beyond the bounds of frresbyterianism. This failure to pronounce his shiboleth convinced us that he was not familiar with the history of the Confession of Faith, andjthat his com pany had not put hiin through a critical catechetical examination. We, however, found ourselves landed at Westminister, by whatever name called. This thriving little town, though mostly in the possesMion of our Baptist friends, took its name from an old Presbyterian Church of that iiame id the adjoining neighborhood, now extinct. The delegates were met by tho good people of the town and by representatives from Bachelor* iietreat five or six iniles distant, with conveyances, and while many of the delegates remained for the night with friends iti the town, others ?Ai>n.nA^ tkolf fiAfitu tr\ hfttnifft ble homes to which they had been assigned, arriving at a late hour after night. Presbytery convened next day (Saturday) at Retreat Church. All the minis-, ters of the Presbytery were present except four, and a very full attendance of elders. The session was opened with a aermon from Rev. \V. G. Neville, retireing Moderator, from Luke 24, 49, after which Rev. H. C. Fennel was elected Moderator, and L. W. Perrin elected asaUtant Clerk. Saturday was a departure ! from the usual time of meeting heretofore, and wim adopted with a view of preparing the mind of Presbyters for the duties before them, by a Sabbath of devotion. It had the further effect of having all the delegates promptly at their posts without tardiness. The first order of business, the reading of narrations frtJkrk the churches, wxs lateen up aim i proceeded with till tho hour of adjournment. Tho services on Sunday were 0 largely attended, Rev. J; 0. Lindsay preached at 11 o'clock A. M., one ol" his ablest sermons from Psalm* 18, 35. "Thy gentleness hath made me great." This service greatly contributed ?o the enjoyment of the sacramental service, which was conducted by Dr. D. E. Frierson. The reading of the narratives was concluded Monday morning after which ari interesting conference was held on the state of roligiou within the botinds of Presbytery. The Synod of South Carolina had sent down to the Presbyteries, the following recommendation. "That the Presbyteries at tllMr approaching Spring session make the matter of family religion, including worship instruction and discipline. a subject of special consideration. "That the Presbyteries be earnestly exhorted to require of every church session suoh particular visitation among the tneml?erH of the respective families a* Khali be necessary to secure their attention to thin most Important subject and report the sam?j to their respective Presbyteries. "That Presbyteries be recommended to adopt such means as will insure the nlore thorough instruction of the families of ttUr churches as to he necessity of n more Earnest practice of family religion, if the Church would realize its highest efficiency." The committee on the minutes of Synod, reported to Presbytery on these recommendations. "That it could not too strongly emphasise the importance of Synod'A recommendations. From the geneial tenor of remarks made in the conference on the state of religion after the reading of the narratives, and from the narratives themHelves, Presbytery would infer that family religion was much neglected in our bodhds; the family alter in many oases had fallen down, if ever erected, and those outside of our communion could not say of many of our people, as God said of Abraham," "For I know him that he will command his children and bis household after him. and they shall keep th*. wiv of the Lord to do justice anri 1 Judgment that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him." Whon the tamily alter is neglected, family discipline is also overlook-! fed, and the Sabbath evening exercise* after t::e good old Scotch plan in teaching and catechising the children on religious matters, has become among the things only retained in the memory : the sanctity of the Sabbath is diminished, the children become restless and long t? mingle with the woHd arid amuse themselves on God's holy day, and in many Of our communities, social dancing )b sapping the very foundation of spiritual life in our families. "That the attention of sessions be urged to this matter and that they district their several congregations for pastoral visitation With a view to bring this subject home to each family under its own roof/' This report was adopted. To an overture from Liberty Church asking Presbytery for instruction on the subject of railroad travel on the Sabbath, whotber it is an offense properly to be discip" lined by the session, Presbytery replied that all travel on railroads on the Sabbath, except in cases of necessity and mercy, are proper cases for discipline by the session. Of tho several inquiries addressed to the Presbyteries by the General Assembly, that in reference to amending the confession of Faith on the subject ot prohibiting marriage with a deceased wife's sister, or a deceased husband's brother, was answered in the affirmative by a vote of 18 to 22. On the subject of paternal relations Presbytery recommended that all correspondence be by letter, and that the General Assembly adopt sucii measure* as will prohibit organic union with any other ecclesiastical body, except it be first recommended by a succeeding Gen' . eral Assembly and approved by twothirds of the Presbyteries. The inquiry fespectiug the powers of an evangelist to ordain ministers of the gospol was answered in the negative. Interesting conferences were held on the subject of ifomestic and Foreign Miasioris which awakened a lively interest in the gf&t Subject of missions Rev. J. P. Marion Accepted the call to the Greenwood and Rock churches. Presbytery *d}o<iroecf alt Wednesday evening to meet at Liberty Church on the Air-Line Railroad on Saturday before the second Citn/lan (r.

The Piedmont region is destined to lx one of the finest sections of our country It is rapidly filling up with a sturdy rac< of settlers, mostly of native citizens There are more than twenty to one settlements in that region of country sinc< the war.

Lomnx before the Trial Jnstico's , Court, ought not to havo appeared, as it was not true at this time and was ealou' lated to mislead. Capt. Lomax did have a case before the Trial Justice about the ,'first of February in which he was arraigned on a charge of hiring a laborer '(already under contract, and was convicted, but on appeal the judgment of the Court below was prolnptly reversed, and | Capt. Ijomax fully exhoiierated. Its api pcaraHce at this late day, although an in- ! i advertance, requires an explanation, for ' | Capt.

As his views In thin matter encounter my j heurt.v disapproval and as !t appear* from the : corn-hulliii: sentence tn his last article that he lha? still more In res-rve, I cannot refrain . longer from giving public expression to my sentiments. a? I feel that, were I not to do so 111 should bedorellct In my duty lo my friends 11 who have been faithful public servants. I regard his articles us calculated to do much I harm In the way of engendering ? feeling of; discontent and envy on the part of a great i ' many.towards our present officials? and what j Is worse?or creating hope* and aspirations In ! j the minds of at least a few. which can never i be realized. This Is greatly to be deprecated, i I regard It us entirely wrong for any one j with the ability as a wrfter.such as "Rotator" has, to use the same In the agitation of a measure which he cannot help but know can 1 be productive only or n>um. I lie Ik evidently a per?on of too much Intelligence not to know thnt. when & good officer ; hus been secured, It Ik to the Intercut of every one, except possibly those who mny desire hi* pli 0 , to keep him In office. I He should know,H"d doubtless does. th<?t uch has been the Kettlcd policy of the white people of this oounty from time Immemorial. | He also knows, or at least should, that his allu?lon by name tocerlnln IndlvlduaiKas men, I ' any one of whom would make a good and ao-: ceptxble Judge of I'rohHte. will result In; awakening hopes and ambitions which can i ' end only in disappointment and mortlflcaWon. The present Judge of Probate has been t-led and not "found wantlnsr," and I hardly I think our peopleare ready to turn him out, in * order Id put in his place either "Rotator" or 1 any of his friends \?hom he suggest*, however I T well qualified he may claim thein to be. Iti might be that when tried they would not| prove so efficient as he seems inclined toi L think. Who knows but that among this list; of names mentioned by this wonlil.be cham- j plon of the rights of others, lurks that of the: t Veritable "Rotator" himself ? I confess that, to me ft occurs, there is a good deal of founda- j ) tlon for such a suspicion. 1 To take any other view of it Is to give "Ro 1 ' toar"credit Torndettreeof disinterestedness . 5 in this matter which I tlml it very hard, wlfh ; all my charity, to hccoM to him. I recard It i Che duty of every one who does not endorse! . "Rotator" to be outspoken upon the subject; and to make public thilrdisapproval through > 3 the same medium of publication's' that se j | lected by him to disseminate his discordant! sentiments. ?

We would nay, 8hr6 looks pretty,- but 'hose flowers are arranged prettily, In he first example, the adjective is used r> press a fact of perception?to express ler condition as site appears to the peaker; in the second, the adverb must ie used to express the. manner in which he flowers are arranged?to tell how the hing is done. We do not express our meaning clearly -take these illustrations: She looks weet. she looks awkward, sno looks old, he looks sick, ahe looks refined, she ooks stout, she looks thin, she looks belevolent. In these sentences we use the idjective to express qualities which eem to exist in the person spoken of. )ur enquirer would not say. She looks toutly, she looks thinly, she looks oldly, ihe look* youngly, or she looks refinely ; md. for the same'reason, it fs rric'orrectto lay. She looks prettily.
