Cothran, Daughter of W.Joel and lone Smith, Horn November 7th. IStSI, Died, at Abbeville,S. C., July 2'Jlh, 1SS7. Thus passed away one richly endowed with all those qualities which make God's last, his most precious gift. As a child she was obedient, kind, and attractive. Reared with care and with prayer those qualities flourished and bore the goodly fruit they promised. Inherllth year she united with the Presbyterian Church, and from that day to the day of her death her life wits an exemplification of the religion she professed. If a sacrifice of her comforts, a relinquishment of aims dear to her was demanded, there was no hesitation. Her mind was so pure, her acts so noble, that the opinions of those who knew her, seemed but that i ...i.s,.!, ,?i?,ii-,iinn nffnrK at the shl'inC uiguii^c .... of purity, or tlie throne of unselfishness, so conspicuous was her character that when at college a medal, never before offered or given, whs awarded her "for her high Christian character." On January 6th, 1XS(1, she linked her fate with another's nmiil joy and pleaaure, with a horizon as bright and un> dimmed as was ever seen. Lovely in person and in character; so dear to so mauy ; to her parents dutiful; to those of her family circle a sister indeed; to her husband true; to all a friend: faithful In all the relations of life, who could expect so soon ?o lose her? But the sweetest odor of the flower is not per- , ceived until thn blossom is crushed. She was seized with what all thought was a trivial aflection, from which she partially railed; , tl-en came a relapse, and for twenty weeks she lingered and stillered till at last the Spirit i soflly whispered, "Itest thou in peace:" anil another jewel was brought home to the beauI nf llOflVAn. Through those weeks of suffering shone forth the beauty of a Christian, the trusting, , hoping, abiding faith that robs death of its sting and the grave of its victory, that lights up tne valley of the shadow of death with the radiance th.it covers the streets of the New Jerusalem. Her life was as a winter day In Artie climes; a dawn of magnificent promise; a brilliant ray thrown over us, lighting gloriously each thing on which it falls, giving promise of continued brightness; then quickly it pales, ami we are left in a dark desolate waste, brightened only by the auroras of memory. Where is she now? Who dares say she Is resting In yonder cemetery? Is she not standing In the open portals of the city not made with hands?shining with the radiant linht of the '-great white tluone"? and her eyes, tender and true on earth, now beamling with heavenly affection, bidding us "Come"? t'ok<"?bupy*H Dramatic C'liil>-"Vl*ilorj? ?Sick lie** ?

THE TRIPLE MURDER. Jones Out on Bail?Tlirents of Lynchins:* From the Augusta Chronicle. News from Edgefield reaches here of the release on bail ol Jones, the Edgefield murderer. The tale of the killing of the father aud two sons is too fresh to be retold. He was convicted and sentenced to twenty-live years in the Penitentiary. Yesterday, however, bond was granted, pending a new trial. Great indignation at the action of the Court is felt in the section where the murder was committed, and considerable talk of lynching lias been indulged in. Car<l. The Abbeville Medical Society will meet at Due West on September first. The meeting will convene nt 5 o'clock p. m., supper at ten o'clock.

August 11!, 1SS7. j Editor 1'icxx ami thinner: I ask permission to make a brief reply lo I. the strictures on my sermon, in your paper of J last week. It Is an easy matter to call names and pile | up n mass of words, but neither of these nee essarily contain argument or help In nseer- j talnlng truth. The writer objects to my saying that the , flesh in the text meant tins "old man" and the "natural man." These are phrases em- , ployed by Paul to express tlio evil nature t which belongs to every Christian, and by the word "flesh" In the text of my sermon lie intends to convey t lie sume Idea. Ilow it is that | iu making this simple statement there Is any ( play upon words I am at a loss to perceive, hut lie goes on to tell us what Paul does mean ( by the word flesh in the text, viz., the love of , the tinllatlans tor circumcision. He says of , the Judaism that prevailed among the (ialla- < linn churches "this was a lower type of rnris- j tianity than Puul preached, and lie tells them it is the flesh lusting against the spirit." It is certainly putting the thins very mildly to eall Judaism "a type of Christianity." 1'nul calls It "another uospei which is NOT another." Judaism and Christianity were dill'erenl systems as opposed to each other as light and darkness. I aflirm tliat the word flesh in the le.\t does not have the most remote reference to circumcision. In the previous verse Paul says, "Walk in the spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh." What Is meant hy the lust of the flesh is shown in the preceding verse,"if ye bite and devour one another take heed that yo be not consumed one of another. Following the text the apostle tells us what the works of the flet-h are in seventeen specifications, and in all the catalogue there Is no reference to circumcision or even to Judaism. "ilo (myself) repudiates the idea of free agency on the part of man altosether and b makes lilin a corrupt macnine ny nniurc. i i iicccpt the hist part of this sentence as iny belief. Man 5k a corrupt machine by nature?so L corrupt that it can put forth only what is ^ morally evil, until renewed by the Holy Kpir- j it. And, Indeed, this corruption is not entire- f ly eliminated from prachers. II the brother c had none of it lie would not have made the j charge contained in the first nart of the sentence. He knows as well as lie knows any ? thin::, that neither I nor any other Calvinist e repudiates free agency. Hut the clause had such an e/d captandum twang about it. and lie v thought that it would so entirely wither me t into nonentity that the corruption in him, | Ic? Ti'smlsl not lot liltn kppl) t It back. Ah, my good brother, this thing of attributing toothers sentiments they do not r hold Is un old trick and not a very pretty one. r "With this capacity (of intelligent choice) e can not any man in obcdlencc to God's plan v absolutely keep his moral law?*' No, I an- c swer mostdecidcdly. No man has in the past, t docs now in the present or will in the future. i( In tliis connection the writer asserts that j there are thousands of men and women now who keep God's law. I do not find one such t example in the Bible. I never mot with one c iu my intercourse with other people. I never c read of one well authenticated instance. I s do not believe that such a case has ever exist- u ed or will ever exist till the end of thisdls- v pensation. There are people who think they ? keep the law of God, and there are writers g who make such explanations and modifications of keeping the law as to construe It into t "perfect holiness." These tilings are not denied, but I utterly deny that any mere man e has that perfect conformity to God's law y wlii/'li iu true holinesH. "There Ik not a just nr.nn on earth thatdoeth ? good and slnnetli not." "Now I wonder If l>r. Lindsay would have the intelligent reader to i apply this Old Testament quotation as an ab- i solute and unexceptionable fact, fitting I he \ human race In all ages?" Kxactly so. Just as true now as when first written, fits as well r now as it ever did and tho fact will he just as c absolute and unquestionable a million of g years hence as It is now, if the dispensation lasts so long. The Old Testament Is as much | f a part ol the rule of faith and practice of t Clod's people as the New Testament. Surely the brother does not mean to teach that he- \ cause a tiling was written 3,(rt;0 years ngo and i found in the Old Testament it is obsolete and i is not available for instruction. "He is perfectly holy because ho onjoys i Cod's perfect power." Tho brother and 1 t could not agree about a definition of holiness. \ He believes It. Is enjoying Clod's perfect fa- \ vor. I believe it is absolute conformity to 1 God's law. My definition is based on Scrip-j > turc teaching, his definition Is made to serve t a purpose to bolster up the "perfect holiness" i doctrine. I The brother has a good deal to say of the i verse in first John, "If we say we have no j sin," Ac. This has always been an ugly text for the holiness people and special efforts have i been put forth to explain it away. There Is .1 one remark made by my opponejt. "I do won- j j der if l)r. Lindsay t hinks any body who will j t read this passage in its connection and study j i it for ten minutes would believe that It refers I < in any respcet to the impossibility of a man's * living in this llfo without committing sin." \ This sentence has a high sounding air about t it. that would sweep e very thing before it. i Unawed, however, by this feature I will an- ^ swer tho question with a most emphatic af- \ Urinative. That Is exactly what itdoes assert. I It subverts and scatters to the winds the | whole "perfect holiness" delusion. It teaches > "the impossibility of a man's living In this |t life without committing sln.M i Brother Martin says further on it vindicates j 1 "the possibility of a man's living free from all ' sin." These views are in direct conflict. I I wish the reader to note carefully these two 11 views and also to notice their influence and 4 relation to the holiness theory. Jf my view 1 Is coriect it destroys completely tho theory he t Is defending. If his view is correct It takes !c away only one of the many arguments array-1 \ ed against this theory. The brother reads the I i VCrsO 111 l111' llgmui lll.t Iiiivrjjiviiuiuii inun, ?. "If wo say we have uo sin (when wo are sin- 1 ful in our practice understood) we deceive 1 ourselves.'' I say this Interpretation in llie > parenthesis is not required or warranted by r any tiling said in the context. Ife says its 1 meaning and force would be taken away It'r not so read. Oh, no. it has a very clear moan- c Ins and a tremendous force, but both the f meaning and the force bear against the holl- U ness doctrine. "Jf we say that wo have no c sin" is the perfect holiness people with the 1 liinbniugof the truedivine artist. Whenever I these words come before our minds, either read or heard, we can't mistake the people i they are designed to describe. They contain an accurate and unmistakable and full- > leugthed portrait of a certain class of people, i No wonder that it takes such a mass of expla- * nation and a parenthetical interpolation toic destroy its meaning and force. I say It means i e just what it says. "If we say we have no sin" I describes those who pretend to complete sanetitication, those who claim that all sin isellm-i 1 imitcd from their natures, those who believe ! < that they hsivc arrived at sncli a state of per-1 feet ion that they do not violate any one of the |' requirements of God's "holy and just and i f good" law. But that meaning would he too|s bad, positively too destructive of "perfect^ holiness" as a branch of Christian experience, l so It must be explained and interpreted and dressc-d up so as to mean something else. If j ^ that sort ot rule is allowed In the interpreta-j lion of Scripture I can, by it, prove universal- ' ism or purgatory or future probation or any c other error. v This paraphrase may exhibit the eon nee-1 tion of the verse under consideration and :' tiring out that meaning which Hro. Martin'4' shuts his eyos against. It is foolish to make I v this pretension of having no sin; of trying!' to work ourselves into the belief before (iocii*1 or ourselves that we are already jHjrfectly I' holy. Why should we do ho when by eon- ( fessing our sins f?o?l is ready to forgive them? j We ought not to hesitate a moment to take;'] our sins to our Heavenly Father, confessu them, and plead for pardon.?v. !(. On the I other hand, if we cover up our sins and 111 claim not to have any, we deceive ourselves I and make (Jod a liar. The meaning of the v passage Is as clear as the unclouded sun at' noonday, and it does not mean what the 111 Brother says It does. je I beg leave to introduce brief quotations from two commentators, who. as Interprets- ' tors of Scripture, command the respect of the j '* whole Church. Matthew llenry says: "The apostle having B supposed that even they of this heavenly ' communion have yet their sins proceeds hero !" to justify that sunnositlon. anil this he does ! by showing Ilio dreadful consequences or do- ' living it, and tliatin two particulars. * * * , 0 We must bewure of self-docclt in denying or j! excusing onr sins. The more we see them!'1 the more wc shall esteem and value the rem-11 edy." " Mr. Spnrgeon ssiys: "The believer does not]'' attempt to deal with <iod as If he had no sin ;; I1 for that were to make Christ useless, seeing:" t here would lie no need of his blond to cleanse.) 5 lie does not say !lint lie now lives without|11 sin; for that were to make ills cleansing a " thing of the past, whereas the spirit teaches:'' that it is n present matter, concerning our f present wall: with God. To claim to live '' without sin Is to walk in the dark, for the ;1 claim is a false one. The man who walks in!" the light comes before God as a sinner, whom j I1 the blood of Jesus Christ his son clcansetii i J.1 from all sin." | I am very glad to be found in accord with if these two great and good men. and this lias 'J tempted me almost to believe that I am not I" as bad an interpreter of Scripture as my rev- e erened Brother would have his readers he neve. There are a good mnny other things in the article that I would like to reply to, but I ? am nfinid, Mr. Kdltor, that your patience might, give out entirely ; and I rather suspect that Bro. Martin will not object to my stop- ~ ping now. 11 I regard my arguments presented In the r sermon as intact, notwithstanding what has v been said against them, .and that they fur _ . ' 'gii.. j tils)] a crushing blow to tlic tin scriptural and fanatical notion of "perfect holiness." I want to say tliat my contention Is not , with the .Methodist church, which has been ' mercifully preserved from endorsing the <1 vagaries of any "Holiness Association." r iood and wise men, no doubt, hold to J, Ihese opinions, but Ihey are not tliu less raise for that reason, and only the more * laiisjcTous.

I'(ilnmhin nml vlllf? rn:wl The people of Greenwood know a good thlnsr vhen they see It; this Is shown by the fuel hat it is almost Impossible to find a man who c s not a reader of the Picks and Banner. , Wo have come to the conclusion Mint what 11 s usually termed "cheek" Is now worth more 0 o a man than manly.'lntegrlty. The man c vlio "blows tils own horn" and not the man i3 vho would show his worth by his work and [ lie, receives tho sanctioning smile and 11 vords of encouragement misrepresentation c tearing a total disregard for the truth on the a mrtof many business men has done much to ]j iring about the present deplorable flnaucial ionditlon of our people. How long will truth mdjustice to ignored? We are real sorry that Greenwood is to her ' lelghbors such a "thorn In the flesh." From g Iustlee's letter published In the Press and r 'tannrr last week we infer that the ad van- ji ages of Gseeuwood and tliu enterprising spirt of her merchants lias iicen for sometime a f constant menace to tiie merchants ofour II ister town Is'inety-Slx and that it Is now o rery gratifying to them to be able to say that |j heir advantages arc not Inferior to ours anil hat they will henceforth sell goods at Green- J, vood prices. Were they able to do this they 11 vould have sullicient euuse tor self eongnuu- 1< atl?m, and of course we could not longer ex- y lecttlie people of that section to buy their s mpplies In this place. We do not deny the ' ruthfulness t?f justices claims, but would v nerely call attention to his assertion In re* erenee to freight rates to his town. He says 'Western freights are about the same," mean- a ng that ureen wood nius no or uui very nine n id vantage In Western freight rates which is s 'about" but not wholly true. "About" is so u ndetlnite; so long as Ninety-Six only sells ,, :oocls at "about'' the lowest prices, anil of :ourse she can be ex peeled to do no better C vliilo she only lias "about"' the same freight w iites, we hope and confidently expect our s :ustomers to continue to visit our town which lasdoneso much for the farmers of the surounding country. Greenwood still has ad- ? rantages in both Eastern and Western freight il sites which has, in the past, enabled her to ,S ead in low prices as with her increasing r.iil oad facilities, she will continue to lead. We lo not "pull anil blow" our town in the pa- a >ers, wo merely speak tlie truth In a plain i traightlorward manner and no claims ol j >ursls even disputed by persons who have .V >crsonally and practically tested our market li or the purpose of comparing prices. a Miss Alary lirantley Tarrant, of Newberry ,, s visiting her nnele Mr. J.
