The principal ingredient of nearly all cough medicines is destructive to the digestive powers of the stomach.; 10 very dose of nicdicino that a consumptive sw dlows only hastens the patient to the grave. To those who are punishing themselves liv taking cod liver oil, we would say that we have seen it stated in ; "tho newspapers, that the giving of cod j liver oil in Paris has l^een sofaraljan-j doned as to leave onlyono case in sixteen Tvhere it was proscribed in pulmonary: diseases. It is conceded that there arc no medicinal qualities in the oil, and all that is claimed for it Is, that it is h nourishing food. Weare fully persuaded that there are other diets which are more pal3atable and equally as nutritive. Wc find the following article in an exchange which is well worth reading: How to Theat Consumptives.?To | ? very large extent consumption is u heieditarv disease, either as directly: piopagated in its germ or taint, or a* en- i gralted on u constitution too fwWe to! resist the attack from without. It is not j a local disease, like yellow fever, nor or-j casional one. like cholera: nor is it eon-j fined to a certain period of life.

It! may mock its victims with hope to the J last, but it* grasp once fully fixed, in the majority of eases is relaxed only in death.; Shall we give up to it in despair? By do moans. It is an established fact that! it can be cured in its earlier stages.

A number cf excellent young men and j their families havo resolved to leave thiJ couut.v for Arkansas and Texas. They i complain-that rents are too high and ex-i peet to improve their chances in a new country. %\'e wish every one of them the best' fortune, but they have no idea of the hard timos ahead of them.

The government j js no better than we have and the taxes! are just as onerous, The society is j no better, school advantages and church; privileges not half as good as we have, j and there is nothing about Arkansas to; induce any one to give up home, friends j and old associates, and fly in tho face of j the chills, fevers and other ills that lurk in every swamp and canc-brako of that I sickly section. The misguided people who propose to seek ease and comfort in Arkansas cannot get land for nothing. They will have a* heavy taxes to pay a* we do.

Wo would join our regrets with the! .Valium because of the departure of! our friends to a strange land. We think! there are innumerable difficulties and! dUiadvantag s to be met in a new, unset-1 lied country, and such that men of ma-! ture age are not likeiy easily to overcome. Even if the country was a rosy) bed of flowers, and every breeze health-; > giving, where wealth poured into the; pockets without labor or effort, ourna-j ttiros are such that we cannot go from j the home of our youth without allowing; future thoughts of former associations to east a .shadow over the heart. I5e it ever so humble, there is no place like home.! An old man, like an old tree, is not easily transplanted. These men who gooff will: never have the home comforts which they : liow enjoy, and the heart-aches which are sure to follow, will take the place of Bp-;'- those delightful visions which now fill their dreams. To get the cheap lands now. they will have to go far from civilicivllization?from stores, from blacksmith shops, from saw and gristmills, firm post offices, from neighbors, froir. doctors, from preachers, from schools and churches, to overcome the forest) ??to fiuild up homes, to clear lands, to open "-roads, and encounter all the troubles in SOU!

"sources." This gentleman has learned something. Many of his countrymen have not.?Auffusta C/troftMe. We presume that the Pres.s and Banner . would he Massed by the Chronicle as ; among those who have not learned nnyi thing. NVe would nevertheless say as emphatically as possible that there is no prosperity for the South as long as we neghvt the farms. I'll is 'is a sparsely country, wncio M?e larmer nas greater Advantage* elbow room, cheap lands ami abundant pastures than his Northern neighbor. In the nature ol'things manufactures eome after the farming interests have been fully developed, and where money is seeking investment at cheap rates of interest. This country will bo ruined as ssoon as we abandon our farms to put our women and children to work in factories. The farm is the fountain head from whence comes ail our wealth,and anything Which has for its purpese tfle diAwiiig of Independent farmers from their own lands that they may become dependent laborers for rich corporations, is subversive of our best interests. XVe utter our protest against the building of factories in this country, where the poor are expected to congregate and work from early dawn until night for a bare subsistence, w hile the ownerns of these factories make twenty per cent, on their investment. Let U-s Think About It. The Slate of South Carolina is now pairing annually about four hundred thousand dollars interest on public debt. Tliis debt is owed almost entirely to alien*?to persons residing outsido the State. Supposing that fifty thousand dollars of this should be paid to our own people who may hold tho bonds of the Stale, then three hundred and f:fty thousand dollars of our taxes go to the people living beyond the limits of the State, and is forever lost to our citizens. Tnc taxes which we pay for schools and for the legitimate and proper expenesot the Government are returned o tho people?the source whence the}' came, and tho county is not thereby impoverished; but we may expect to see hard times in this State as long as we pay one-third of a million of dollars to foreigners. Since Democratic reconstruction wo have paid to foreigners >rw\rn tlmii lu'n urid n Imlf million dnllfira To that exte:it we have reduced our wealth, and contracted the circulating medium, which we so much need. If that money had been kept within the borders of the State all real estate would have been greatly increased in value, and hundreds of private enterprises would have sprung into existence. Wo iiope that soino wise moasnre may be adopted, looking to the extinction of the public debt. The annual levy of one mill for that purpose would in the course of time do tnucli to reduce this great drain upon our resources. It matters not about the debt to our own people. It is the debt to aliens and foreigners that hurts. Ou the Same Schedule. As far a? our observation goes we think the (frecnvtllc News, the Abbeville Medium, and the South Carolina department of the .1 ugustu Chronicle are quite harmonious on political questions, except in the matter of tariff?the Chronicle being more intensely rantankorous for tariff to protect the rich factory owner at the expense of the man who is compelled to buy shirting. The Chronicle seems to think that it is protecting labor when it compels the laborer to pay tribute to the manufacturers of shirting. The great mystery to us is, that the t.triff men sue ceed so well in pulling the wool over the eyes of the laboring class by perpetuating the high tariff which makes the laborer pay Hl'ty per cent more for all his clothing than he otherwise would do. If the present tariff does the laborer so much good why not increase the price of everything he wears and eats to double iheir present values ? Tribute to Mr. Burt. Judge Alclricli arrived by the one o'clock train Mouday, when the witnesses were sworn and various bills of indictment were handed to the jury. Af-j U*r this. Judge Aldrich delived the beautiful and chaste tribute to the memory of Mr. Burt, which we reproduce elsewhorel in these columns. When he had conducted the reading of it, his Honor in-1 strutted the Clerk to adjourn the Court until ten o'clock Tuesday morning. This in honor of tho dead. The criminal business occupicd the Andeason Court until Wednesday evening of the second week. Only two days were lctt for civil business. At the urgent request of tho Ancle: son Bar, Judge Aldrich spent Saturday there that some equity business might be transacted. Hence his Honor's inability to reach Abbeville beforo two o'clock on Monday. The Taction will Soon Take Place. It? less than two weeks from this time the Genera! Election takes place, and it behooves every one to look up his ticket, and be in readiness to go to the polls early on the morning of the fourth of November. I<ct no man lo*e his vote on account of the loss of Ills registration ticket. While it is more or less humiliating to many white men to be necessitated to produce a registration ticket, after once voting without this formality, the colored brother feels proud to exhibit this evidence ot citizenship. Wo should not let this condition of affairs make us indifferent. There can be no doubt as to the election of the county ticket, but fears are expressed as to our ability to over come the thirty thousand Republican majority of the low country. Poors. The fact that T>r. E. I/. Patton was invited to resume the position of assistant editor of the A.wocifito Itrformek Prexbytcrinn, together with the pleasant manner in which he accepts tiie position and the kindly reference which he made to the denominational College with which ho was so long connected beforo ho went to the South Carolina College, is a real pleasI ure to us. These facts impress us at least j that there are no jealousies between the Colleges?each having its work to per| form, and neither jealous of the excellence of the other. Being peers they have no reason for envy, jealousy, or hatred, but each respecting the other. "Behold how good," ?fec. The Naughty Bourbons. I The friends of the South Carolina Col| lege have long been twitted by its enemies ! as "Bourbons who never learn anything and never forget anything," and now 10. . M. Hravtnii. in snpatcinir to th?nwrnM nf South Carolina, joins tho friends of tho denominational Colleges in scoring tho i "Bourbons." Between Brayton ami tho enemies of the higher education of the sons of tho State, the "Bourbons" may be supposed to be kept in a continued state of torment and fear. Our farmer friend Carter Wilson, of No. 2, is not at all troubled about the price of western corn, having enough of his own in his crib.?Newberry Observer. We know of an amateur farmer in Abbeville county who is concerned about tho price of western corn, he having a liberal allowance of the staff of lifotosoll lrom his own crib. Tbe editor of the Prea* and Banner believes that corn can bo raised in Abbeville county at from twenty-live cents to thirty cents a bushel. Ca.pt. Jambs II.

Last vreok was an Interesting week-to the people of Abbeville, Upper Long ('sine, nnil Greenville, According to previous nnnouttto| mcnt, nil this necessary preparations had I been iikMp for the propor celebr&tldn of the j centennial of Upper Long Cane nnil GrcCto1j vll!c churches. Abbeville being so Intimatej ly connected with these dm relies by assocla. I tlon In Use pnst and by a common Interest I In the present, the people of this town were scarcely less Interested In the exercises than j were the members of thene old historic churches, which have stood the test of time tor a hundred ycp.rs. i Dr. B. M. Palmer, the great Presbyterian I preacher of New Orleans arrived at Abbeville on Thursday and preached to a crowded house on the night of tho same day. On Friday he preached to n delIchted people at Upper I,ong Cane. Mr. W. A. Templeton added to the Interest of the day by reading a hlslor leal sketch of the church. On llie next day, Saturday morn Inn. the Doctor preached at Oireenville to an assembled multitude, and the learned Dr. J. O. Lindsay read an clabornto history of that church. The "ssays of Mr. Templeton and Dr. Lindsay are of such general Interest that we have sought copies of them for publication, and our subscribers may therefore enjoy the reading of these (.ketches by turning to another part of this lasue of the Press anil Runner. | It was well known that Dr. Palmer would preach at Greenville on Sunday morning, and the desire to hear him being general, Mr. Murtln closed his church on that day, and he and a large number of our people went to Greenville church, where we met representatives from the towns of Greenwood, ' Hodges, Donalds, and Due West, I \Vltlrout setting up great claims to an Inordinate degree of piety, and without under estimating the quality of the good preaching j which we might bear at home, the editor of . the Press and Banner set out on the. long and tiresome Journey. Leaving Abbeville nR ' early as It was practicable for a bachelor to ! leave home, we commenced the Journey over 1 - u.l.I..I. ...oo ..c l.llli- uu lie | rouuli, nnd as dusty as the mon romantic I person could wish. After a drive of mure Minn three hours?the greater part of the time behind a Ioiir line of vehicle??wo I reached the old historic spot, whore a great I company of people hud already assembled. After u ?troll over the urave yard, in which nn Innumerable multitude sleep that great t>le?p which men call deuth, wo Joined the company 111 occupying the seats In the grove where people of all sorts and conditions had !assembled to hear our distinguished guest [' preach the word" beneath these trees, where our forefathers heard the gospel, and I looked from "Nature up to Nature's God." j long before they were able to erect and dedicate a tetnplc to the worship of the Most I Illgh. Dr. Palmer, by Ills oratory nnd eloquence, I held his audience spell hound for more than i an hour. His presentation of Christian I truths was logical and forcible, his language i was chaste and elegaht, nnd nil these combined with his fervor and zeal, enabled him to command the admiration or every listener. To say that those who heard hltn on Sunday wen? pleased, entertained and edified would ! not convey a Just conception of the pleasure I which the learned divine afforded tuls community, by the delivery of able, eloquent and sublime efforts at Abbeville on Thursday night, at Upper Long Cane on Friday, at Greenvllleon Saturday and Sunday, and at Due Weston Sunday night. Ills ptcaehlngj was so Impressive thai many went to hear every sermon, and on each succeeding day the numbers In attendance Increased, until Sunday night, when many of our citizens went from Greenvllleto Due West, where the dls-| tlngulshed divine paeached that night for ! the last time hefore taking his departure for his home In New Orleans. Too much praise cannot he awarded to Rev. W. F. Pearson, the pastor of Greenville and Long Cane churches, for his forethought and and energy.In making all the arrangements necessary lojthe splendid success of those outdoor meetings. Everything possible was done to the minutest detail, to Insure the comfort and cdlllcatlou of the largest congregations that assembled. The admirable manner In which he conducted all the arrangements, Joined to his zeal as a pastor, and his leurnlngnnd pleiyasn preacher, render him a worthy successor of the long line of distinguished mlnlsteis who have In days gone by served so well the historic churches of Green-1 vllle and [iOng Cane. May they be ministered to by their present most excellent pastor for many years yet to come. Greenville Isour old stamping ground, and I Is the first place at which we have any dls. tine! rw?n11wiimi r?f huvlncr heard the i?osnt?l I preached. The only reeollect Ion we have of curlier preaching was at Kocky River on a communion day, when we thought the old people were very Ill-mannered In sitting down to dinner without giving the children ? bite. We attended Greenville church In I letter dnys. By this we do nol mean to Hay thai the former days were better than these, : hut to express the idea that It was in the Innocence of childhood that we worshipped there at a pious mother's side, and before we had learned much of the sinfulness of human nature, or the wickedness of the world. It was under ministrations of the Rev. John C. Wtlllfttns that we attended worship at j Greenville, and we were present when Dr. linker, the latnous revivalist preached there to immense congregations, with wondertul results. It whs during the delivery of one of these impressive sermons that we have the only it stance of a member of the congregation "talking nai k" to the preacher. On one occasion, while preaching, persons in different parts of the house began to rise from their seats and muke for the doors. This action, it was evident, had been noticed by the Doctor, i who, for the moment, seemed puzzled or annoyed. At this instant a gentleman who sat on n bench well to the front, rose Irotn his seat and said that In behalf of himself and those who were taklug their leave, he would K:iy that this action was not on account of nuy disrespect to the preacher, or for any lack of Interest in the meeting, but that they had come on the ears which would leave In a few mliintfc liiift i? wim now nncessnrv for them to co to the train. To go buck to the scenes of one's boyhood, nnd to the church where hi; first, worshipped, neccessarlly brings un recollections or former times and fills the mind with thoughts of mingled pleasure ami sadness. Of all thjit throng on last Sunday. we did not see any of the faces which were old then, and only a few of those which were young at that time. The congregation Is almost a different one from that which we knew thirty or more years ago. The Donalds and Seawrlghts, theRlcheys and Dunns, the Wardluw.i and Culverts, the Burton*, the Barmores atid a score of others equally as good have gone to their reward.! and a new people have grown up and taken their places. In the grave yatd at this place lie hurried the grand father an ml the (.-randmother and ' other relatives of our venerable townsman, Mr. H. II. Wardlaw, who In his ,voung?r days [often visited that locality?the home ol his grand parents, and our own grandmother was burled there many yours ago. ? 4# THE LAST GRAND RALLY.

A. VempletoN from IUvc'ii llhtory. and other Nonrce*?-Bend at the Centennial Mcetion; at the Chnrch on Friday, October 17, 1884. If time would permit, It would be interestjing mid profitable to trace the progress of | Presbyterlunlstn in Abbeville District, (In ! which Long Cane bears so pron.lnent a part) i fit. m tlie year 175C, when the first settlement of Presbyterians whs mudc in the District, down to the present time, but wecan oDly notice the most prominent events. The first Important settlement was made In February, 1766, by about eight families, Presbyterian in laith, who emigrated from Pennsylvania to tlie ui)per part of Virginia and North Carolina, and thence to tills place. The inalorlty of tlie-e settlers being ot the name Calhoun, the settlement took Its name from them. Previous !o the settlement of Patrick C.tlhouu and Ills friends, at Long Cane creek, ihere were only two families of white settlers in this part of the province, their names were Goring and Edwards, they had come from roIlKlous persecution, In their oivu fatherland, to encounter the danger of hostile Indians. In 17.19 the number of Presbyterian families had increased to between twenty and thirty. The views and expectations of these settlers was to form a Presbj terlau church. As far a? they could they setup their altar and commenced their worship in the wilderness, In a more private way, until February 1st, 17GU, when the Cherokee Indians bioke In upon tiiera, Miid killed twenty-two persons, carried fourteen Into captivity, und dispersed the survivors. In this state of dispcislon they remained for more than two years, when. In 17G3, they returned with greatly Increased numbers. Theneearly settlers were environed with dangers, but nothing seemed to daunt them. In their strongholds these christian men watched over their wives and children with sleepless vigilance when in danger, and would then return to tliolr accustomed work. Ministers would visit these stations occasionally and preach under some spreading oak, or In some log cabin. In a few Instances these cabins were provided as pluccs of worship. In the year 17t>3 the Kev. (jcorjte Dutlleld, from Pennsvlvanla. visited this church, and lurried for several weeks. He found Unit (lie! bounds of the congregation had grown so large I tlihi It whh necessary thiit public worship! should be held at different places. The church or churches, now underwent a more perfect organization by the visit and nsslstanceof Mr.; Imflleid. It seems tlmt the germ of the several churches which were afterwurds more! distinctly organized were ulready In exist-1 ence, the blessing of God si ins to have at-! tended his labors, and some spirit given to1 religious aflat rs. In I7ii0 they were again vis-; ited by ltev. Robt. McMordle, from Pe.insylvuuia, sent down as a missionary from the Synod of New York and Philadelphia. His visit was profitable to the church. It Is noteworthy that, lu 17G8, Rev. Mr. McCreary received a unanimouscaIi tosuppiy thesecongi egutlons; It wassigned by 219 personssetting j their uamcs to it ns subscribers. In this call' they were unsuccessful. During this interesting poilod another col-1 ony of Presbyterian* under the leadership of; the Rev. Jean Louis (jlhert, settled In the Immediate vicinity of the Lony Cane people. They hud come too front most bluer and Inexorable persecution lu Fiance, to seek a place : of safety lu Auicrlc i, where they could wor- I I ship (Jod according l<> tne dictates 01 meirown i ic0iiN0ifUi.es. There is substantial proof thnlj J they hud u regularly organized church, and keptn baptismal registry, although the oldest Inhabitant has no recoliccilon of a church building. It Is believed that divine service was conducted In the town hall, 'i'o a people accustomed to worship In glens and eav?*s of' the earth the simplest edifice might become a i temple if secure from the eyes of persecution. In the history of Presbyterlanism In Abbe-! vilie District, Upper Long Cane bears a prom-1 Inent part. She, with four sistcrassocinllons,: without distinct organization or bounds, ex-j isied several years before t lie Revolutionary: War. As early as 1770 they made a Joint effort to obtain the services of h iai>tor but were ! unsuccessful. In 1771, It is said of them, tliatj "they Were as sheep without a shepherd." Occasional supplies were sent down by the! Synod of New York anil Philadelphia lo mln-1 ister to these missionary st&Lio is, and it was i a rare and delightful occasion when the Lord's table was spread, and the sacremeut of baptism administered. Early In the year 1771, to the great satisfaction ot these people, they were visited by Rev. Azel Roe and John Clon, of New Jersey, who! were sent forth by the Synod with plenary | evangelistic powers, "To preach thegospel, ordain elders, and administer thesauri incuts of; I baptism and the Lord s supper." These missionaries remained some time, ordained elders and udmliil-tered the suciaments. There, is good reason to believe Hint great good was! done and that muny were added to the i church. A call very ardently expressed and . (KlliUfU Uj iui|;riiui>ii>ni>ui uciwuq ............. to Mr. Hoc, bullic UcclInecl. Notwithstanding j the anxious desire ol' tin; people to obtain u ' puHtor ihey remained t>tl 11 longer without one i : to the great dimmer of the pence und liurniony or the church. About 1772, Rev. John! Harris (the first Presbyter la ti preacher Ihit,' ever settled In the District) hud been appoint- { ed by Orange Presbytery to visit and supply j | the vacancies 111 -south Carolina. He cume ] Into this field from Maryland. He tuok the, i pastoral charge of all ihoe stations us stilted supply and labored with great acceptance to! Ithe people until 1779. at which time lie was re-; . leased from the direct oversight on theground I I of physical indisposition, out tie continued to| ; supply them occasionally until they obtained ; , a regular pastor. By ail his acquaintances i Mr. Harris was acknowledged to linve been a | j very Judicious, pious, and exemplary minis- j ter of the gospel. j Immediately alter the distressing scenes nfj | the war, these citizens of Abbevll.e District,] who were of the Presbyterian faith turned: ' thoiruttentlon to the Interests of religion, and ] ; In older to procure either regular supplies or] , ustated ministry, formed four cougrigatlons; in the district. Upper Ixuig Cane, Lower' t Iiong Cane, (now Hopewell,) Hull Town, (nosv i Kocky River,; and Saluda, (now Greenville.) j which appointed commissioners from each lo 111 x tae boundaries between litem This ineeti lug was held tin the'JUtti day of August, 17#3, at Gen.

Early in 17?l therefore the formation of these churches into distinct and sepsirate or| gauizatlnus was effected. After forming these I congregations, as before men Honed, In the early part of 1781, .Saluda (now Greenville,) and I*ong Cane, sent a commissioner to Orange Presbytery to solicit supplies, and the I result of ihe mission was that Robert Hall, a licentiate of thut Presbytery, came tho followj in" summer and preached to these eongregai lions, and In the fal1 of the same year a eall was sent to Presbytery for the pastoral services of Mr. llall. who was ordained as pastor i lol Upper Long Cane and Greenville on the; 271 h day of July, 17.S1. lie continued as pas-; tor of these churches until Ihe end of the1 year 1791, when,on account of sickness, he re-! moved to Pendleton District, and soon after j died. He preached u 1th great satisfaction to' all. | These congregations of Long Cane nnd: Greenville, remained vacant irom this time j until the spring of 17U4, when calls dated: April, oi that year, were pre*enieu 10 me ivev., Ilob't Wilson, it licenliuto ol Wouih Carolina' l'rcsbytery, who accepted them. He wan or-1 dalncd, al Oreenville church, on the 22nd <.f May, 17SM; he continued the settled pastor of, the/-e congregations until the spring of 17117, when home iliftlculty arose between tlicm on account of pecuniary matters, ihe result of| which was that he was disml>si-d from his i pas to nil care of both congregations, und I in- j niediately accepted a will from Upper Long' Cane for three-fourths of his time and ministerial labors. This eminent minister of the* gospel continued to labor with great ability, j ai d to the edification of his hearers until the | spring ot 1805, whet), to the regret and mortiti- j cation of the congregation, he took his dismissal and removed to the State of Ohio. At-' ter the removal of Mr. Wilson tlie congrcga- J tion was occasionally supplied by various clergyman, particularly by the Kev. Dr. Mont-1 go'nery, and the Kev. 'l'hos. Williamson, with ! both of whom they were about forming p is-1 toral relations, which weie prevented by thej death ot the latter, and the death of the wllei of the lormer, whicli turned his views In a!

Thus vvaH Inaugurated, says Mr. It. II. Wardlaw, a ministry peculiarly happy, able, and attended with blessed results; I he numberof members In lull communion ut this time was about 131. About the year 1HI!J a new house ot worship was commenced, but ibought not to have been finished before 1817. Subscriptions were made payable to the trustees of the congregation, who were at IhIs time Wrn. Lcsly, Hugh lteld, Geo. lJowic, Matthew Wilson, and James Wardlaw. | The secular business of the church was conducted by a board of trustees (Instead ol' beacons), who were appointed from time to time, I 'and who administered the attaint committed to their hands with general satisfaction to the j people.

This trtlstee system con-1 1111 tied up to 1KV. at. which time the first dea- j con was elected; these olllcers were elected by the congregation every four years.

Another Interesting feature In the history of Upper I/m? Cane Chtiivli I* the fortnntion In 1793ofa society comp'tsed principally of of members oi this church. The object of the society was to provide a permanent fund lor the support of the Gospel In their congregation, and for other purpoe^s of benevolence. The society was Incorporated In 1799. It first consisted ol thlrty-ilve members and in a few years Increased to CO, but has generally been be4 thirty-two. In the coarse of time the original subscription ot slxtytlve dollars had by annual payment of one dollar by each member ami from corn* pounding the Interest produced a fund In 1852 of about fifteen thousand (815,000) dollars and had paid to the preacher* salary $11,392.83. A striking Illustration of trie rise of a considerable fund from small beginnings carefully Invested, and wisely administered. The annual iucomc from this fund Is now; about WO"). About 1830 * vast emigration commenced! from this district to Alabama and Mississippi, i This congregation was greatly reduced In I numbers, for we find the membership In 1829,! 210. and in 1S44, only i:t7, auen a tjreat reauc-. tlci wus miule In their number from various : causes that It w?h very difficult to raioc the salary, small as It wan. In 1833 the society j made Its first contribution to the pastor's sal-1 ary, the amount was S.J00: this appropriation | wan grn dually Increased from that tune to tho, civil war. A considerable amount was lost by the wur but the fund Is now In ko-.hI condition. Another Bi? Fire In Edgefield. Edgefield Advertiser, extra. On Saturday morning at day break, on (he 30ih October, 1K81, the business parlor Edgefield was laid in ashes. This morning, at day break?threo years, lacking 12 days having elapsed?the ?ame territory Is n*aln laid In ashes. Every one of the new buildings erected after the tire of 1881 Is consumed?with one solitary exception. Mr. Alvin Hurt's. The fire was discovered about 5 o'clock, bursting from the roof of tlie store house occupied by ("apt. C. lu B. Marsh. This was the middle one or llie llirco woouuu mores, 111 (Hie building'erected by Mr. A. A. Clisby soon after the fire of 1881. Diagonally opposite were the four stores, one belonging to Mr. W. B. l'enn, the other three to Dr. D. C. Tomoklns. Next went of the Clisby building wan tH% new one erected by Mr. A. J. Norrls, and occupied by Mr. W. N. Burnett. Next, wa.slarge bulldinst erected l?y Mr. Lynch, the oilier by McCuliough& Son. Next, and last. was the new building erected by Mr. Jas. M. Cobb, after the Arc of 1KM. and occupied by hirn.?eif. In rear of Lynch's sloo-J the new four-rooin law office of John 1* Addison Esq. In rear of Cobb's stood the newly-erected Chronicle newspaper offlee. In less than one hour nil these buildings were swept by the flames from the face of the c/irth. Mr. Hart's new building, being of brick, withstood the fury of tbc flames although standing so near the large Clisby building. The Jones Motel and tho Sbeppard law oltlce were saved. Theopposltesldeof the square, wiiere stands the Advertiser building, was in great peril ail the while, but escaped intact. At one time the roofs of the wooden otllccs on either vide the Advertiser building, were burningbrlsKly. The tiames were extinguished by brave and persistent efforts, thus saving the South side or the square, including the huge old Ryan Hotel. Park Row, it will be remembered, lias never been built up since the tire of 18S1. ITnnn tiieCllxbv. lite Noriis, the Lynch and the Cobb buildings, there wuh not 11 penny of Insurance, (lie lute high rates of Insurance upon wooden buildings amounting almost to prohibition. Upon the Penn nn<l the Tompkins buildings, and the Addison law offlcc, there was Homo Insurance. Mr. Wiley Turner and CnpLC.L. B.Marsh.occupyingthe Clisby building, lost their entire stocks, saving not even their books. When Cupt. Marsh, who lives upon the outskirts reached the acne, the storo he occupied was 110 longer standing. Mr. Burnett iost hlsentlre slock. McCullough <fc Son lost their eutlro stock. Mr. Lynch saved so little as scarcely to be worth mentioning. Mr. Cobb saved aboutone-tlftli of his stock. Mr. Brunson, occupying 0110 of the Tompkins buildings, saved about half his stock. Mr. W. B. Penn's loss Is lenrfully heavy. Ills stock was uninsured and he saved buta coupie of show cases. Lynch's Iosh Is about SS.000; Burnett's about 3-">.OO0; Cobb's about S<i,l>?i; Turner's about 82.00:); penn'h about l>5t001; Norrls's about 53,000 ; Tompkins's about 81,000: Md.'ullough (Sson's ubout S 1,000 ; Marsh's about 3.">,00u. We write wlihln less than 'I hours afier the breaking out of the tire, but even thus eiirly we nee many nlgus of pluck and hiavcry. Mr. James M C >bb Isalready, with his odds uml (-ails; lu the olil llryan brick store, where he will replenish his stock hiisJ push forward. He will rebuild, lu brlek, upon his old site before New Year. Mr. Lynch, Willi his oil-In itud ends, Is already in Lho old Pent) brick store next to lite |uil. He Is now on his way to Agusta for a new stock. He will also rebuild Immediately. Mr. W. Xi. Putin is also already In Augusta, buying new coods. He will open liiiinedllali-lv lu the conn r building J list below the old lirynu brick store, lie will also rebuild without loss of time. Mr. llrunsou will reopen his business Immediately in one of tiie lower front rooms or the Ityan Hotel. As to the origin of this terrible fire, wo can ns yet?lu the midst ot so great confusion and excitement? hazned no very decided opinion. The signs, however, would seoni to be those i f diabolical Incendiarism. In regard to this matter, tliouuh. we deem It wiser not to say anything very decided until our regular l>sue of next wei-k. Ths business part of our town is a smoking, dosolaio, barren, horrible waste. And theru are literally und absolutely no provisions for man within our corporate limits. At tbe request of Alegars.

Historical Skctch of Greenville Pre** bytcrlnn Chnrcb, from 1774 to 1SH4, Prppnroil for tlie Centennial Celebration October 18th, 13St, by Rev. J. O. Lindsay, D, D. It Is TCurcely possible, Tor the most thought* ml. to form a rlubt conception of the Immense difference between the circumstances In which we aVe thin day and those that prevailed in this locality a hundred yearn ii'io.

Educational facilities arc furnished to the poorest. The hum of a thousand Industries are around us. The railroad and the telegraph are here ministertcrlng lo the wealth and comfort of our people. How different was all this In former times. The settler built his log-cabin And cleared a few acres of ground and was over on the watch for the wolves and panthers and the more dangerous Indian that prowled around. Duy and night he was in peril. There was no time and no place where he could feel secure. Their surroundings made men daring and I - !><"( i Ii nni with M.n no. ni'icroiiiiiib, ?ui iii-ii'.M .? ? blest elements ofcliaracterand prepared them for "dnrlng exploits." We can never pay the debt we owe the hardy pioneers who Heured these forests and drove hack the wild beast* and wilder aborlglnees nnd prepared by their strong arms and bruve hearts, the precious Heritage we now have. Let their memories be revered and let us holrUn hlgnest appreciation the rich blessings they have transmit tod Lo us. Tho popnlutlon of this rc.'ion before the wnr of the Revolution was exclusi vely I'reshyterlnn. Tiny brought from Scotland and Ireland their hatred of error and wrong, and their love of the Bible and Its precious truths. This Greenville Church wa<? at Urst known by the name of Sutuda, so named hecause tn<; mniiihors inoxtlv lived near Saiuda River, We have no Information as to who firm preached tlie Gospel In the bounds of tht* church. The people worshiped God In thalr families as whs iteuerally the euitom of Presby lerliius of that generation. And It is probable there were public religious services whenever a few neighbors could be collected together, conducted by the more aged members. Many of these plain uneducated men wore "mighty In the scriptures," luul a thorough experience of God's grace In their souls and could c llfy the body by iholri-xpo-ltlon of th* truth and by their ettcctiul fervent prayers, occasionally they rejoiced In the presence oi n visiting minister. But not until 1773 did they buve any stated preaching of the Go?ptl. Hct. John Harris. At that time Rev. John Harris commenced his labors and continued them till after the clone of tnc war. During the war the public services ol the sanctuary were greatly Interrupted, built was "a time that tried men's souls" and when the comforts and support* of rollglon were specially needed When there was no assembling together for public worship there was the family altar and the "great ha' Bible" and the speaking often together of tbonv who feared the Lord, by all ol which their churacters were strennhioned and tbey were tilled for their labors and theli trials. For many years this Rev. Mr. Harris we have mentioned, was the only Presbyterian minister In Abbeville District. Bold and In dependent lie wo* peculiarly fitted for the stirring time* In which he lived. He wan a trui* patriot anil labored to stamp his own principles of republican liberty upon others. It was his boast ttiat every member of hix congregation was a Whin. He Was very oh. noxious to the torles and often was lie In peril from thein not only at ills own house, bul also when Iik went forth on his errands Qt Mii'rcy, He oficn pre ichcd with his trn-lv rifle wItliui reach umi the Itullet-pouch and powder-horn suspended trom Ills shoulder. lie owned u number of slaves, many of whom were stolen mid carried off to F.orlda by tin- To.l*s. At one time lie was u member of the principal Cengrcss of South Curoilna. He had some mcdical skill by wiilcli he often served Ii Is people and for till* reason he whs known far and near as "old Dr. Harris." He had creal corporeal sirangtli and aclivliy and had the reputation of bcint:able to wield physical u.well as rutional arguments. Tills stirred lilm ud a competitor.

Mr. H.irrls wa? born In Wales but had llv?i] awhile In Marylad before coming to .Soutli Carolina, lie lived several year* after Iht close of the war. From the records of P. e?bylery beseems tc have been active In efforts to scure pastor? for the congregations he had supplied. After the close of the war the people pro reeded at once to enter upon more p^rmaneni in rxngcmeiits for the public preaching of tht Gospel. Early In 17SI delegates were sent from Uppot Long Cane and Greenville Churches to the i Presbytery of Orange to secure the services o > a niiu inter of the Gospel. Rev.

Robert Hall continued to serve tbcs< churches as pastor to the great satisfaction o the people till the cud ot the year I7'J1. His I'oa.tli then became Impaired. For abou eighteen moiilhs he was not able to preach hi all. At lencth in April, 179?. to the areat re^re oflhe people, the pastoral relation hefweet Mr. llall and the united churches of IJnpei Ix)ng Cane and Greenville was disolvta bj the Presbj t> ry.

Mr. Wilson wus a man of dlstingulshc. abilities. He was born In York, District o Presbyterian parents. While pursuing hi: studies at school lie was a fellow student oi Andrew Jackson. He entered Dickenson Col lege under the presidency of Dr. Nesblt. In 17U0 lie graduated and returned to Caroilm and commenced the study of theology undei the direction of two neighboring pastors. Dur lng his pastorate his labors in both ehurehe; were much blessed. The ureal revival whlcl at tiiat lime sent a wave of sulvatlon over tb< whole of the South-West readied and refresh cd and enlarged these churches. .Mr, Wilson obtained great fame as a scholar ihk educator as well as preacher. Tlic Trustees o : the South Carolina College offered him a pro | lessorsliip In that Institution. Tills otler wui accompanied with the promise ot makln;. him President-at an early day. ! The trustees of an Academy In Augusta Ga., also invited lilm to take chargc or thai school at. a salary of S^OOO. He was constrain' .id to ri fuse these offers as lie thoughi the state of his heaitn would not allow bun to remain in tha South. He was greatly offended by an act of the Legislature that opcn< ed the African Slave Trade. He regarded tills act as dcstruclive of all morality and religion In the Stale. In 1805 he returned to Ohk where he ultimately became President of the University of that Stale. The college o; Pilnceton conferred on him the degree of Doe tor of Divlnlty. He lived to Lite hdvanccd age or tW years full of labors and honors R?v. Ifiir-li ninlKon. In Ihe sprlnjr of Pfifl the CJicen vllle chtircli was vlnltrtl l?y Itev. Hugh Dick son,; who wu> si)?i? Installed uh pastor and continued In the ollltc for forty-six years. There wore til lliut lime only two officiating Elders, Janice Walls uud John Hull, and ahotu 40 comma nic.ints. Many had removed to Ihe new settlement In Pendleton. The want of a pustoi for twoor three years had produced great depression In the ehnrch mid the stale of piety was very low. The house In which they worshiped was much out of repair and ilic se>sion needed to be enlarged. These dlscouriucmenls seem (o puss away after Ilic scf tlement of Mr. Dickson. A now hou>e ol worship was built, and the following Elders ordained, viz: John Weatherall. Geo Urownlee and Edward >harp. The great religious excitement which prevailed in many part* of the country In 1802 produced but littie eireel upou this congregation. About ISO", the people of this church presented a memorial to Presbytery declaring their innbiliiy to pay arrearsio pastors salary and asking lo be released from the same. Mr, Dickson consenting the Presbytery granted till1 request. In 1815 there were fourteen addillom to Ihe church. About this time Edward Sharp having died, Isaac Cowan was ordained Killing Elder, and soon afterwards John Seawrlght und .Samuel Agnew were added to Hit session. In 1<{D four persons were added to tliesesslou, viz: John Dcmnald, Win. Means, A. C. Hawthorn and Abrani iladdon. The lust two withdrew from thechurch on account of the Nullification excitement in K13. In ls.SII Lydall Williams, John Weatherall and John McKlttrick were made Elders. In 1841. James Cowan and Robert Urownlee were ordained Elders, and in 1846 James Urownlee was called to the same oillce. father (Hugh) Dickson continued lo preach till January, 1S47, when his pastoral relation with Greenville church censed. lie departed this life July Uth, 1863, In the 81st year of his oge. During Ihe last year of his mfbtstry, 18 persons were added to the church on examination and 2 on certificates. When he begun Ills pastorale there were onlv 40 members; at Its close only two of these were alive, yet tlicfe were 140 communicants, audi (he ilnanelal condition of the people was considerably increased. Father Dickson's Interest In religion was not confined to his own church. In the year 1841 he was sent by the Missionary Society of ihe Synod of Mouth Carolina and Georgia to visit their) mission In Mississippi. to examine and report upon itsstute and prospects. lie acquired considerable wealth, dwelt on his large farm in the midst of Ills many slaves and dlspouscd a gentwous uud noble hospllallty. He was the friend of the poor. At leant one young man was t-duriUed by Ills liberality, for the ministry. Doubtless some of the older people hern today can recall without any great effort the old church with its high-bucked seats and the pulpit In the side of the house andean almost see the venerable form of faliter Dickson standing there with bis peculiar tlorld complexion and can bring back to thoir minds the very tones of ills voice, and many of the expressions which he used in his prayers, and In other parts of the scrvlce of tfio sanctuary. He was neither an orator nor a rhetorician, but he preached with great plainness and fullness the doctrines of grace; with these he fed his peoplo, and with these his own soul was fed. About the close of his life, and during the pastorate of his successor In tl.o year about '52 the o.'d church building was torn down and the present brick house whs erected for the service of Ood. Rev. John I. vtiiiinm*. In the spring ofl847 Rev.JohnC. Williams, 11 licentiate of the.Sailtli Carolina Presbytery succeeded Knther Dickson, The sweet-singInn Williams caught up the falling mantle of Ills aired predecessor, and in a tender and peculiar nensc, his Knther. He served the cliureh lor 21 years with gre-it acceptance to the people. At the beginning and during his pastorate the Session consisted of the following members, viz: James <'ownn.Joseph Dickson, Samuel Donuald, Hoht, Hrownlee, D. I.. Donnald.Andrew Stevenson and \V. W. Higgins. The latter loll at the battle of FrediTi-kshurc, Vn., Do ember l-'ttli, 18(52, while gallantly defending tils country's honor. Mr. Williams was a a graduate of Krskine ?o!lexe In the class of 18-12.

He wan cnguged In the Cokesbury Female Hljfh School foriKinio yearn and did good service in that department. About the close of his ministry thm church was ureally revived, und theiotl of communicants numbered 'J7S, of this number, however, 9) were colored. In April 186s. he obtained leave of absence to visit a church In Mecklenburg Presoytery, N. C., to which he had been Invited mid hkh moou atlerwurds called, 'l'hln call lie accepted and wim dismissed, by the South lurnlliia Presbytery ata culled meeting held at Ureen wo<?U Septetuber, 5, isfts. He repulicd at once {to his now field, but hi* work soon cume to I an end. 'With the gospel armor on, he fell on Sabbath morning in hU own pulpit, by u ! stroke of paralysis, from wlilcb he never rej covered. | It was his last rarmon, his last public effort to win souls to Cbrlst. That fatul Ktroke ended his ministry, but not his testimony of (tod's faithfulness towards his suffering saints. In 1874. after a long and painful affliction, be died as he hud lived, in the triumphs of faith.
