According to our way of en nklng, Prof. Kennedy, Dr. Lathan and Dr. thi ssaly came nearer solving the question than Si: ne of the rest. I mong doctors of divinity the Press and sol Dner would not assume to speak of splr- a ' ftl matters, but as the church is established of business methods, andaa salvation is at- 'J ned by practical work, it may not be amiss 1 one who Is interested In the welfare of the lni lege, to talk on the money question. frc list now the Associate Reformed Cburcb ap- i irs to be in need of much money to forward tet various great interprises, namely: The Co :en8lon of the church, the payment of the ret lege debt, the building of a college dor- i tory and the foundli g of an orphan asy- Nc n. wl ESTION AS TO WHETHER THERE IS A DEBT AGAINST ERSKINE COLLEGE. tt|f Ve are not sure that we understand the ex- l0,, , status ol the college debt. If/ It is really r1 ebt, for which the college Is placed In Jeop- wr ly, the payment of that debt Is of the first ' portance. But if the Synod used Its own Jni ids to make good the deflcency in the ,u! lOUDtthatwas raised for that specific purle, then there is really no debt at all over J,? college. We presume that Synod simply ( tl >d its own money to tinisb the building, er the money which bad been paid for that. rpo9e had been exhausted. If we are corit In this supposition, then the consldera- tle n of that debt might be dismissed from our ?r< )ughts. If, however, there is really a debt, De' lounting to $32,50!), against the college, then 1 aost serious difficulty is presented. The erest on this large amount being soinB ' 100 a year, the church would be sorely taxed meet it, to say nothing atiout reducing the J.1' ncipledebt. The large amount of Indebt- "J less would discourage the friends of the * lege from the giving of money for the slm- ,n' i payment of interest. le' I AT SHOULD BE DONE IK A COLLEGE DEBT til EXISTS. ?H ca Synod never had, at any time of its Ml 8tence, more important issues present- eW for Its consideration, but the people mi ve lately h?d so many calls upon them sit it it would be ill-advised at. this time to 1 outftollcillng Individual stiocrlptions from po her the publicor theehurch membership. If pt s debt has to be paid, and recognizing the at t that the college is of the first Importance no the church, it n.ieht be well for the church 1 abandon, temporarily, some of Its enter- da ises? namely, ail mission work, and give '1 for the preseut, all idea of building an or- to anace or a dormitory- It might be well M; reduce the drafts on the endowment by re- ca: clng the number of pro essorsln the college pr< even by closing the doors of the Institution a period of, say, five years, more or less. this was done, the Interest on the endowint could be approprlute-t to the Jl<|Uida-' n of the debt. inother matter. Suitable and proper ef-< t should be made to Indiu-c persons to r-'raber the college In their wills. In the;"1 irehandoutof the church, are public spir-j il men wno would be willing to make pro- I Jon for liberal gifts at their death. ' Ifjc A PRACTICAL QUESTION FOR SYNOD. nil inother matter. Let the Synod have nml Id ever so pronounced views us to the rules < which the students should be governed, ev' > question of the expediently of enforcinu n(J >m on an unwilling const I tin ncy should be ; isldered.

If go sklne College had five hundred students. ] d the place wasubout to be overrun with M ys, It might be well enough to shut out ane of tbeiu, but at present no such condi- Cr in exists, and the mistake of driving away e?i ne who are already there, and of alienating wi iers, must be apparent to every reasonable in. to I INSTITUTION SUCCEEDS WHICH IJOVERNS W( TOO MUCH. H Vdinlt that the Faculty, tho Trustees, and ! w r Synod, are all conscientiously opposed j principle to such societies, and then admit <-j n other fact that no college, or other popu- j, Institution, as far as we know, has ever i-ceeded which governed the boys too much, ' o wonld be safe to say tuat It Is belter to have (>| Diilege lull of boys with such societies than I have a slim attendance without them ? NSECRATION CANNOT TAKE THE PLACE OK j BUSINESS METHODS. U1 t would take a great deal of consecration shut oue's eyes to this plain and palpable vi st, that somebody Is respouslble not only T r the small attendance upon the classes, but driving away the boye from Ere klne a, here tliey are so much needed, and where in church has a right to expect them to be. If theSynod has enacted such rules, then it that body repeal the Injurious law. If the ustees are responsible for It, then let them luare themselves and abrogate a law which doing, and has done so much harm. Synod iould not embarrass the Faculty by unneces:ry interference, but should hold the Facul' responsible In a measure for the success of le Institution committed to their care, and a satisfactory accountof their stewardship .nnot be given, then tsynod owes It to the eat body of the church which they reprenl to Inquire into the cause of a lack of sucs.s. We do not refer to the fraternity societies cept to point our meaning. The college ay be governed by other and still more inrious rules. We are not informed of particars. I'he boys are either too much governed, or <e therB is something lacking somewhere, this Is not true, why Is it that there are it more boys at Erskine? IK BUSINESS ENTERPRISE OK THE CHURCH IS J-ANOUISIIINU. We cannot account for the present eondi>n at Erskine, but we know that the chief stiness enterprise ot the church Is languishg, and It behooves Synod to go to work In juslness-like way to find out the cause. Vyuuncwunwu, naiiw(inv,nnvut *^v?.?in, Religious Fervor, nnd kindred matters e all-important la spiritual affairs, but jen the business sid^ of the church Is touch, then we need practical business methods, st, last and all the time, wh;ch should be mlnated by the spiritual impulses and dine obligations.

WHAT THE CHURCH NEEDS.

C., April 10.1891, Farmers here have commenced plantln] their cotton heed and will plant for a big crop us usual. Business of the town Is good especially tin credit business. li Is estlmlted that the grain crop througl this section of country Is Injured at leasts per cent, by the recent freeze. One ol the State's constables was In towr Saturday, but failed .to find any contrabam liquor. So far very little gardening has been done. The farmers In this portion of country hav< fewer bales of cotton on hand than they havi bad for venra at l.his time of vear. Sales o corn here this year up to date have increasec about 2<)0 per cunt, as comapred with las year's sales up to date. We think this condl Hon of arfairs ought not to exist and that oui farmers should raise more corn, and more o everything that is consumed on the farm. Mr. J. D. Cooper has rented this year the J R. Buchanan's place on .Saluda river. There is some stock in this community thai appear to have something like blind staggers caused probably from being fed on damaged corn. Cotton seed for planting sold here last year for 35 cents per bushel, similar seed can now bfl bought for 20 cents per bushel. Mr. W. C. Fouche is with his daughter, Mrs. Bell, of Laurens county. Coronaca ought to organize a reading club. A well managed reading club is quite an advantage to any community. We Team that there Is to be a Sunday school picnic at Col. Rice's fish pond Saturday, May the 12th. Messrs J. S. and W. W. Klugh have each bought a "bicycle." They are both enterpris ing gentlemen and are always up with the things except when they are down with the bicycle. Mr. and Mrs. Secombe of Minneapolis, Minnesota. are here with friends and relatives. Mrs. Secombe who is quite an accomplised lady is giving a class of sixteen young ladles le?sons in physical culture. These pretty, blithe and intelligent young ladies make quite a fine appearance while marching to tne music made by Mrs. Percey Lumley, directed by their teacher, Mrs. Secombe who has so kindly proposed to them in the graceful and at the same time healthful art of improving the physique.

Our enterprising and public spirited townsman, Mr. J. Allen Smith, is experimenting ..? ?i ? n with water-worKS id a umiieu w?j. no uv put in a pump at the Enterprise Factory, acid Is pumping the water to a tank on the Alston lot in front of the Episcopal Church. Up to this time the expeiiment has been entirely satisfactorily, and it seems that it will come up ??all the requirements. There lsyetsome work to be done in the way of erecting tanks or reservoirs, and when this is done, and the needed pipes are laid, some of our citizens mayrealize some of the advantages of plenty of water. Besides the great convenience. It Is thought that the iasurauce will be greatly reduced. It is to be hoped that this effort of Mr. Smith is only the beginning of a more important undertaking by the town authorities. Abbeville has long suffered because of the lack of water, and we are encouraged to hope that it may be possible to secure the long needed want. THE a., C. & N. Again Throwing Dirt?Sl?le Tracks to Come Away Up the Hill. That never tiring and ceasiess worker, Mr. J. Allen Smith,lis branching out into anew enterprise, and the Georgia, Carolina and Northern Road is lending its sympathy and encouragement by grading down the big hill and laying their side tracks up to the site on which Mr. Smith is to put up a large ware house for the storage and sale of doors, sash, blinds and the goods usually sold in that line. Already the work of moving the dirt has commenced. The waste earth will be placed on the lower side of the track in front of the depot, and the ground will be nicely leveled up, suitable for a building lot. Editorial Visit. Mrs. N. G.

SYNOPSIS OF SEBMON BY t Rev. L. L. Picket at Go?pel Tabernacle, Columbia, 8. C., Suday B(l(bt, April 1. i, [Pnbllehed by Bequest.] e Text: Romans xlli, 1*7?Let every sool be' subject unto tbe higher powers. For there is no power bnt of , God; the powers that be are ordained of God. (j Whosoever resisteth, the power, resfsteth the ordinance of God: and tbey that resist shall receive to j themselves damnation. j For rulers are not a terror to good work bat to the evil. W ilt thon then not be afraid of the power * do that which Li good, and thou shalt have praise of p the same. s ? For he is the minister of God to thee for good, j Bnt if tbon do that which Is evil be afraid; for he <, ] bareth not the sword in vain: for be is the mlnisl ter of God, a revenger to execute wrath npon bim , . that, doeth evil. Wherefore ye mnst needs be subject, not only for I wroth, bnt also for conscience sake. For, for this cause pay y? tribute also; far they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Bender therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is dne; custom to whom custom : [ fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor. My friends, we are in a time of unrest and trou hie. It Is time for us to go to tbe word of God and r to our knees for help and guidance. This text is to the point in the present crisis, when the whole State seems permeated with a spirit of rebellion and anarchy. 1. The text tells us that government is of God. The savages know not God and have practically no government. Tbe more advanced heathen nations have false views of God and correspondingly corrupt and unbearable laws. The nearer like Christ people become the purer their laws and the |more easily enforced. Outlawry anarchy, are of the Devil. 2. From the above premises we draw the oonclnsi ion that violation of law and resistance of authority i? sin. The text tells ns that* the powers that be art ordained of Qod, and that he who resists them, "resists the ordinance of Qod." Very significant in this crisis of lawlessness are the Apostle's added words "they that resist shall receive i to themselves damnation." I do not think it means that the violator is beyond mercy, bat simply that > his crime against law is a sin against God, of which i ne must repent or be lost. But I promised to give you my idea of the present i trouble In South Carolina. There are aeveral cans**. 1 may readily and without fear of mistake point oat a few of them. 1. The Devil?He is the old enemy of law and right who figures prominently iu all strife, hatred, blood- , shed. Those who are resisting "the powers that be" have allied themselyes with the fiendish army. 2. The Whiskey King?It is a notorious fact that bis gang identifies itself with all anarchy acd lawlesness. They are insubordinate and seditious They and their allies combine their forces against all laws that check their passions and hinder their crimes. Liquor is the foe of the State and nation, as well as the church and home. The whole saloon business is manipulated by the "Liqnor Dealers' Protective Association," which is composed of the worst set of crlmnals unhang. They respwet no law that doesn't pander to their greed and "rale or rain" policy. We work for prohibition and they declare it wont prohibit: which is but another way of asserting their ^termination to violate the law. Certainly it won't prohibit if thieves and thugs are allowed to trample it under foot and go unpunished. I am not sn advocate of Dispensaries: became 1 am in principle a prohibitionist and conscientiously and forever opposed to the sale of whlskev. Entire prohibition of the whole baleful traflic is the only right and consistent course. Bo I do not accept the dlspen sary law as a settlement of the question; and of course I oppose the eslablisement of Dispensaries. Bat I am, nevertheless, much pleased with the law as a substitute for the reign of saloons. Bat here we encounter the same trouble we wonld with prohibition. The liquor outlaws are not satisfied. They have said that no law coald stop their traffic, and they ' are bending all their energies to prove their assertion. They propose to trample the law ander foot, set aside the statutes of the stste and resist all authority. They are therefore outlaws and criminals. Of consequence tho9e who ald.and abet them are parties to their crimes. 3. This brings ns to consider the action of the dai. ly papers in opposing the enforcement of the law. The chief of these papers aside from The Register, have rendered themselves a stench in the nostrilsof decency bv their persistent efforts to fetter the Gov ernor and his officers. We know of no parallel to their wicked and unjust effort to breed a spirit of ' anarchy and rebellion. They have exhausted their vocabulary in abas* of the Chief Executive and his constables. They manifest the spirit of the wildest foreign anarchists. They seem totally oblivions of the fact thai Governor Tillman was elected to his office by the qualified suffragists of the State. They do everything in their power to bring birn and his administration into contempt. , Then as to the constables. Why should they be branded as "spies.*1 Hated worse than crimnals and shot and murdered like dngsf In a telegram from Darlington the Mayor says, regarding the constables who were fleeing for their lives: "Our men are after them and If caught there will be no qoartera asked or ; given. "This is a pretty message for an officer of law. But It Is a sweet morsel to the little dogtail dallies in their efforts to uphold the "blind tiger" liquor outlaws. They see their teachings are taking effect, the spirit of oat lawry and marder are taking effect and so they rejoice. If The Governor should make no effort to enforce the law, so lillgal sales might abound unmolested, they would cry down the law as a failure and the Governor us a figure-head, bat now as he is striving flritbfkiliy to enforce the law and put down the criminals whio thought defiance an easv. thing, they brand Mr. Tillman as "Tyrant, and his constables aa "?nies" These papers have shown themselves fall of hate and prejudice and are largely responsible for the present state of trouble and lawlessness. The blood of the * J v *u?4- anil VUffML ninrcereti uo uu men iuui hum Besides all this we mast not forget that tola Dispensary statute la the law of the State, passed by a Legislature elected by the people. Faithful officers should enforce it and honest citizens should encourage them. When an officer refuses to do bis daty in the enforcement of law he is nnwerthy and should give place to onewbowill. Bat here we have the sad spectacle of a people joining the crlmnals and resisting tie officers. Officers shot and military companies refusing to obey the orders of their chief in bis efforts to establish civil authority and thereby prevent bloodshed. My dear friends, this is an anomalotu condition of things. "But no," they cry, "our contention is for liberty: we are opposed to the searching of our homes." This is the silliest nonsense we have """ v>?arH Th? rieht to search nnder warrant, Is older than tbe statutes of South Carotin*. From time immemorial those under suspicion bare been subject to search. This statute is no terror to tbe law-abiding. I have no fear of my home being invaded by Dispensary constables. Nor has any other citizen who Is not liable to suspicion. Whose home baa been # starched? Who has suffered under this section of the law? But suppose I am innocent, but bv malice or misfortune become suspected ; then the best and ' quickest method oi establishing my innocence it by having tbe search made. If Innocent and under no suspicion there will be no search ; if innocent and under false suspicion, tbe ssarch will clear me of sus? . piclon and vindicate my innocence; hence an honest, ? tA U TCKfi than MD COm ! innocent man womu nnnc *v. _? plain at the search law and the constable, "wpy'' I{ you like, to enforce It? Nobody but tne gu'lty man. the crimnal who wishes to violate the law and prove that you can't stop it. But these dog-tail dailies have rung the changes, and blown the trumpets over the Invasions of homes by spies, ond like base charges and lies, till the people of tho state have become alarmed and are takfng;up the cry. little thinking that it was but a trick of the liquor unarcbists backed by a truckling and venal press. Citizens of Columbia and South Carolina, I appeal to you to stand by the Governor and his officers till these hell-holes of crime and outlawry are closed. Then press the battle forward till we shall dispence with the Dlspensaties and the State stand free from tha whole degrading traffic. Then God shall bless ua and pcace shall prevail. But I auj asked what is the remedy? That is simple. 1. Let all obey the law. If you think it unlnst you are not excusable for a spirit or rebellion and crime. 2. Support the officers in their efforts to enforoe it. Those who resist them in this law weaken their efforts in the carrying out of all law. One law resist* ed brcVds contempt and resistence for all government, thereby catablisning anarchy and high-handed criminality. 3. Be peaceably and personally kind. Bitterness toward individuals increases strife. Nevertheless you should faithfully and fearlessly condemn crime, and these crime-breeding agencies I have named. Be at peace with men but unfalteringly denounce wrong. 4. Pray for God's help and guidnace and for His blessl ng upon our Executive and subordinates. This is the plain and positive requiremeut of God's Word. , (See Tim. 2: 1. 2. ) If South Carolina will follow this advice the trouble we are now in will soon be a thing of the past. I _ 1 COL. W.
