We And la one of our exchanges the following paragraph, credi ted to another newspaper: "Not long ago a merchant of declared, with oracular Impress!veness: 'What we want In this town is a live newspaper!' These words, which were addressed to the editor of this paper, Involved a twofold Implication? that the 1b not a live newspaper and that it la our duty to strive to make It one. If this merchant and others who hold the same views will oontribute their mites to the difficult work of building up a 'live newspaper.' perhaps they will yet see their wishes realised. The has been published in ??? for eight years, and yet our friend, who is ?o anxious to witness the development of M high type of journalism?bold, publicspirited. energetic, aggressive?has never advertised his business In its columns. It is useless to expect newspaper men, who are foreed to feed on the husks of neglect, to be strong, active, aggressive workers. It is unfenerous to paralyze theirenergles by censure nstead of stimulating them by moral and financial support. The laborer Is worthy of his hire. The newspaper which does all it can to A 1 tA Kn Hhfirflllv puwu ti WWU ttUCUU UOOOl Vto W WV patronised by the business men of that town; and a paper which receives such general encouragement will have the strongest Inducement for continuous and laborious effort to advanoe the Interests of the community. We have observed that the severest criticisms to wbloh we are subjected emanate, as a rule, from tboee who are neither subscribers nor advertisers, while our most generouB patrons are the moat lenient In their Judgment of our deficiencies." We think there Is a demand In many of the towns for newspapers which are more progressive than are thoee already In existence. The flreqnent oomplalnts lrom newspapers beoaose of lack of patronage and lack of appreciation on the part of the public Is an acknoledgement that the paper does not answer the public demand. If the local paper comes nn *> ?? np fhp dnmnnd. of the -r " ?v vr""?-"-? ? * ? public, tbe people will subscribe for it,and the business men will advertise In Its columns. With tbls state of affairs there will be no oocaslon tor complaint, and there will be no oomplalnt. The editor who Imagines the work of printing a paper Is somewhat like going on a picnic with free tickets will always think the publlo are unappreclatlve. The editor who tells to publish his paper on tbe oo-operatlve plan, while using leaded long primer to till with extraots from other papers, a barren waste of white paper, will, nine times out of ten, tblnk the printing business Is unprofitable. The country editor who takes up a notion that he can run a State and National newspaper, with liberal extraots about foreign countries, will find that he is not appreciated. The country editor, to succeed, must devote himself to the Interests of tbe people In the oounty In which his paper is printed. Whatever la of direct Interest to one community of tbe county will Incidentally Interest tbe peo< pie In other communities of the same county. No paper which Is set In leaded long primer, and which ean be read In five minutes will ?ver *1 ve satisfaction to the reading public. No paper containing half dozen three line local Items, an able editorial on the probability of war In Europe, and any amount of extracts from other papers will ever give satiBtaction. The fact Is, it Is almost next to an impossibility to print a good newspaper on large type. Many of the best and most acceptable articles are excluded from newspapers which use large type, from the bare fact that there is not room In the paper for them. A printer can set twenty per cent. more matter m small type than he can in large type. Exoept in rare Instances it does not pay to Mt extracts from other papers. The local paper, like theclty paper, should be as nearly as possible, filled with original matter?and that matter should be of a nature to interest the people for whom it is printed. If the newspaper will first make Itself worthy of patronage, the patronage will come. If the newspaper is made so good that the Ha nlfkAnt If thorp JW/J/IO UOUUV/k OUV/IU uv mvuvuw *v| vmv*? will be no complaint about lack of patronage. If the standard of a newspaper is brought up to the requirements of the public, the people will subscribe for it, whether they like the editor or not. Intelligent people cannot afford to do without a local paper which comcs up to the atandard. In the above remarkB, and in the paragraph above quoted, we have omitted names, intending to be impersonal, while disclaiming any Intention to do offensive or disagreeable jjv' ' to any one. :,'A. r- The Booth Carolina Presbyterian Synad. The South Carolina Presbyterian Synod has hM& In session since Friday night lost at Greenwood. The all-absorbing topic before that body has been questions pertaining to the matters whlob have been brought forward by Dr. Wood row, or his friends, or his opponents. Synod elected a Woodrow-man as Moderator by a majority of twelve. Synod condemned the action of Charleston Presbytery In forbidding "publicly contend' ing against tbe decision of the General Assembly In the Woodrow case, and In relation to putting on probation the Rev. Francis R. Beattie." This by a vote of 98 to 55. Synod condemned tbe action of tbe Faculty of the Theological Seminary In preventing student* from attending the lectures of Dr. Woodjow in the South Carolina University. Vote 73 to 45. The question as to whether Synod would sustain the election of the new professors In Theological Seminary, came up yesterday evening. A propositloh was to have been made to defer action lor a year, but we are not Informed aa to result. Synod wm to adjourn last night. The votes on the Wood row questions show a wonderful revolution In sentiment in the Sooth Carolina Synod. Dr. Wood row carried every point, and he and his friends, or those of hla way of thinking, have everything their own way. The discussions were earnest and zealous, but fellowship and brotherly feeling prevailed. Home of the speeches were the finest specimens of oratory ever delivered before the Synod. Constitutional Amendments. ' Two proposed amendments to the State Constitution will be vot?d on at the approaching general election, on the 6tb proximo. One is ooncernlng the School Commissionersblp. If the people are ready to acknowledge themselves a set of asses, unfit to vote for or to select their own School Commissioner, and It Is adopted and becomes a part of the organic law, the General Assembly will provide for the appointment of the various School Commissioners In the counties, instead of their election by the people. The second amendment, If adopted, will make the term of the Judge of Probate lour years instead of two as the Constitution now provides and the law requires. On general principles it Is well for tbe people to let well enough alone, unless there is a real need for change. Tbe people Lave heretofore been able to select good officers every two years. Frequent elections are good for tbe people, and good for the officers, and we see no reason for voting away any rights now possessed by the people. On both constitutional amendments the people would, In our opinion, do themselves no injustice by voting "No," on tbe ground that It is well not to make too many change* in our laws. We need stability of law. ????^? If yon want something nice in the line of table linen. Look at our white damask and napklna to match. Smith & Son. We can lead the town on towels.

B The Firtit Day's Work. Together With a List of Some of the Delegates. Ai Greenwood Tribune. The synod of South Carolina met in annual Ai session in the Presbyterian churcli in this A! city last night at 8 o'clock, and after the usual Ai devotional exercises the opening sermon was Ai preached by the retiring moderator, Rev. W. Be T. Thompson, D. D., of Charleston, which was Bi closely listened to from the beginning to the Be close. A synopsis of the discourse is present- B< ed below. B< The text chosen was Revelation, vi; 17: Bi "For the great day of His wrath is come; and Bi who shall be able to stand?" Bi After a few Introductory remarks, the BI speaker said that under the tutllage of a Bi mawkish, monstrous sentimentalism, the Bt tendency ot our age Is to adore a retined con- Bi ception of what has no counterpart in the Bi heavens above, or the earth beneath, and in Bi direct opposition to the explicit statements of BI the Divine word. Bi It is the conception of a God with but a sin- BI gle moral attribute? tbe attractive attribute Bi of love. No one rejoices more than myself Bi that God is love. No man delights more in Bi making proclamation of this infinite affec- Bi Hon in tne ears of perishable transgressors. Cs But as the Bible is true, our God is a God of Cc wrath. It is not for the preacher to be influ- Cr enced by what may, or may not please the Cc multitude, by the prejudices of his fellows, by Cc what they may approve or disapprove, but by CI ho inflpvlhle ohltpftt.inn of his office ha 1r f!i called upon to deliver a message as he has re- CI celved ft, whether men will hear or not, Ce whether they bless or curse him. Ci And so against a dangerous and widely- Di spread conceit, I emphasize the fact that D< while merciful and gracious He is a God ol D< aoger, and will by no means clear the gulltv. D< His wrath is not tbat weak and sinful passion Di which disfigures man and heightens the Ei wretchedness of his condition, but the ex- E< presslon of infinite righteousness, in view of E' outraged law. It is the omnipotent assertion Ei of the Divine holiness. David Is oompetent Ei witness in this matter, and he cries: "Rebuke Fi me not in Tny wrath.'1 Fi Paul declares "the wrath of God cometh up- Fi on the children of disobedience." And John, FI with supernaturally strengthened vision, F< peering into the distant future, exclaims? Gl "The great day of His wrath has come." Gl Not only so but we have concrete instances G: of its desolating and destructive power. The G< deluge is an instance. Sodom and Gomor- G rah, the death of tho first-born In Egypt, are Gl also instances. Oi That was a day of wrath when a hand of H flro nnnn t.hft vision nf t.hfi rA?7f?llAra In H Babylon, and, amidst au acting silence, traced H upon the palace wall those mystic characters H of doom "mene, mene, tekel upbarsln," fol- H lowed by the glint of Persian steel, smiting H king and prlnco and noble, nntll that Impious H banquet ran blood instead of wine, ana the H king of Terrors presided as master of the H feast. H But there is a time approaching in its man- H Ifestations of Divine displeasure. It is called Ja by way of distinction. "That day," "the last Jc day," "the great and terrible day of the Ja Lord," and, as in the words of the text, "the Ja great day of His wrath." Ja There is a rational presumption that there Jc will be such a day. Conscience admonishes Ja us that such a time must be. Jc The Bible confirms this conclusion of rea- Jc son, this admonition of the conscience, and Ja the day of wrath Is the day of Judgment Li It tells ub that It will come suddenly, at- Lt tended by appalling terrestrial and celestial LI phenomena. Men will be buying and selling, Li eating and drinking, marrying and giving In Li marriage. Lt A trumpet blast, deep, loud and clear, will Le arrest the world. The earth will stagger like Lj a drunken man, the Heavens will pass away Li with a great noise, and the elements melt M with fervent heat. The dead of all the centu- M i-les will rise; sinless angels will muster on M the azure plains; and hell bursting, belohlng M torin ner oiazing seas, win pour jib somDre ie- iu. glocB upon the aread arena. But lt will not M Be departing heavens consuming worlds, the M swarmlnR hosts of spirits, good and bad, or M the ghostly congregation of the risen dead, M that will engross attention. M One form will rivet our gaze?the Lamb M once sent In love now comes in wrath?the M Lamb upon the great white throne. M The question of all questions will then be: M "Who shall be able to stand ?" Some say all. M This cannot be for lt Is shocking blasphemy to M believe God capable of vain display, and the M word wrath has no significance if lt is not M righteous anger. M If not all, "who shall be able to stand?" M Some Pay the moralist, whose brightest prin- M clple is a due regard for the rights of his fel- M low men. But If his record, however admlra- M ble, Is the basis of his hope of divine accept- M a nee, Interminable disaster awaits him, since M it is written "by the deeds of the law there M shall be no flesh Justified in His sight." M< If not the moralist, then "who shall be able Mi to stand?" Some say those who are sincere. M To sincerely believe that wrong is right does M not make lt so, or that sin 1b not sin does not Mi relieve lt of its guilt. To sincerely believe M that God is not angry with the wicked every Mi day does not disarm Him of His wrath. To Mi sincerely believe that there is no hell does not N< empty lis gloomy prison or extinguish its N) eternal urtas. v-?\ This being so, with an infinite emphasis the Oe question once more recurs: "Who shall be Pe able to stand?" Whenco shall we obtain an Pi answer? From man, given to resistance, Pc Elied by temptations, with moral perceptions PI lunted, with Judgment biased by a corrupt Pe nature?or from God? that God whom we PC have offended and who is to bo our Judge ? And then I address the question to the K< Lord. In gracious condescension He replies: Ri "He that belleveth In the Son has everlasting Ri life. He that belleveth not in the Son shall R< not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on Re blm." Rc What weight attaches to the most elaborate Rc deliverances on the subject from the roost Ri gifted of the world's sages, as compared with Rs the simplest "Thus saith the Lord.' Sn Tot r*rhr1 Ho tmo anil ouorv man o liar Tl* T Sir cannot plead before His throne the answer be Sc has furnished, what can I plead? St Oh, the folly of him who treats with levity Su or adjourns to a more convenient Beason tbe Sp determining of this question. St Yes, men and brethren, God is love. In So love He has given this revelation of His char- Sp acter. Sc In love He sent His son Into the world to Su die. In love He hangs great danger signals Te upon the front of the advancing future. In Tl love He portrays tbe epoch of the judgment Tt with its eternal issues. In love He exports, Tc beseeehes, commandsyou to escape the wrath Tc to come, and in love He clearly tells you how Tc this may be done. Ti His entire treatment of the sinner is radi- Vt ant with measureless affection. Then, sinner, W shall it bo His love and heaven, or His wrath W and?hell ? W 0, to be constrained to justify the Almighty W in your condemnation! To hear the lips that W uttered the patbetio invitation: "Come unto W Me, all ye that are heavy laden, and I will W give you rest," declare "because I have called W and ye refused, I have stretched out my hand, W and no man regarded, but ye have set at W naught all my counsel and would none of my W reproof. I. also, will laugh at your calamity. W I will mock when your fear cometh." W Brethren of the Synod of South Carolina, W under the conviction of these momentous W truths, and our solemn obligation as the am- W bassadors of Jesus Christ, shall we by any- W thing in our teaching or our conduct, defeat W our mission, betraying at once our Master W and destroying our fellow men ? W Indulge me in a word of earnest exhorta- Zu tion. Let us "preach the word, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doc- . trine, and make full proof of our ministry." "We are living, we are dwelling Id a grand and awful time, In an age on ages telling? Ed To be living to sublime t I Worlds are charging. Heavens beholding, un Thou hast bat an hour to fight, mj Now the blazoned cross unfolding, fri< Oh! Right onward for the right! Po On let all the soul within you syi For the truth's sake go abroad, bei Strike! Let every Derve and sinew est Tell In ages; tell for God." so< sot ELECTING MODERATOR AND CLERK. wb After the benediction the roll was called inf when 63 clergymen and 65 lay delegates an- ere swered to their names. The chair announced in* that the first business in order was the eleo- all tion of a moderator. Rev. W. W. Mills nom- nie lnated Rev. J. W. McCoy, of Sumter, and Dr. ing D. E. Frierson nominated Rev. J. M. Rose, me These gentlemen were requested to retire th< when an election was entered into and result- kli ed in the election of Rev. W. J. McCoy by a om vote of 70 to 5S. Mr. McCoy was escorted to I the rostrum and Dr. Thomson in a few appro- th< priate remarks turned the Synod over to him us and turned Mm over to the tender mercies of trli the Synod. Mr. McCoy very gracefully ac- wb knowledged the compliment paid him and boi asked the help and forbearance of the mem- us. bers of Synod. thf N. J. Holmes was unanimously elected as- sh( sistant clerk by acclamation. wb FIXING HOURS OF BUSINESS. Rev. W. T. Matthews moved that Synod ttu meet to-morrow morning at 9:30, adjourn at 0v< 2:30 until 7:30. and then adjourn at pleasure. Us After some discussion this was adopted, but be the Reverend brother finding that the house- gul keepers (who are an Important factor in run- nel nlng all large gatherings) were dissatisfied, Go moved a reconsideration, which was carried, uto and the hour of adjournment changed to 1 wo o'clock, with an afternoon session from 8 to 5. no going to work. see Rev. J. S. Cosby moved that the first busi- 101 ness in order to-morrow should be the report of the directors of Theological Seminary. Adopted. This brings the Woodrow question up in the first hour of the meeting and a lively discussion is expected. Rev. J. B. Spearer, of Davidson College, and several others, were then introduced to the * meeting, after which the meetlngadjourned. drl m t m~ on HWe have something entirely new for the ladies?a "Jersey" undervest.
