m- ; S'-.C I | . . . i Rh The Press and Banner. |U ; BY HUGH WILSON. ? ABBEVILLE, S. C. ^-Published every Wednesday at 82 a year In advance. Wednesday, Sept. 6,1899.' Death of Dr. drier. The people were shocked at the news of the death of Dr. William Moffatt Grler, which event occurred at his home In -Due West, Sabbath about two o'clock. He bad conducted devotional exercises at Bethlehem that day, and Immediately on his return to his home was stricken with appoplexy, and died mlnntoa iu a ion uiiuuiwot Dr. Grier was one of the most useful men Id Abbeville county. Possessed of a good brain and a great heart he was foremost in every good work. During the whole of the years of his life he j:~ labored for the welfare of his fellowman, and the world will be better for bis having lived. In his younger years be devoted himself to the acquisition of a Christian eduaatlon. In his young manhood his patriotism led him to the army, where he fought the battles of his country until maimed tor life. As a citizen in the peaceful walks of life his labor and his chaiaoter were shinning examples. ? To the church he gave the best eSorts of a consistent life. As an educator, his usefulness and Influence were greatest. In the stormy years that followed the war he conducted the college In a manner so as to bring the best results to the church and to the country. And.so profoundly are the people Impressed with his ability a6a teacher, that the public are as yet unable to suggest the name of a suitable man to take his place. But It was not only for hla public work that Dr. Grler was respected and beloved. It was In his well rounded character as a man, as a citizen, aa a friend, and as a Christian neighbor that bis virtues shone brightest and best. The funeral services were impressive, full notes of which may be found in another part of this paper. We would especially note that In the loving tribute which Dr. W. L. Press I y made to the deceased, that be recognized the grief with which \bls city received the news, and the attestation of the friendship of this people by the presence of so many of them at the burial of their friend. I, -?? Electric Llgbt and Power. A cbarter has been granted to tbe Electric Light and Power Company of Abbeville. Capital stocfc $15,000. Tbe company baa bought from Auditor W. W. Bradley and Jucfge J. C. Klugh their water power on Little River known as Martin's Shoals, two miles below Cade's mill, the shoals being some sixteen miles from Abbeville, and capable of developing some two hpndred horse power, which will be transmitted to Abbeville. Tbe delivery of this horse power at Abbeville may be of great value to the town and of a fair profit to the Investors. The power for the electric lights will first be utilized, and the balance of tbe power will be for sale Id running existing machinery or In developing other Industries. Another cotton mill Is oomtemplated, and It may be that the power woold be sufficient to be of service In running at least a portion of the machinery. If a yarn mill of less pretentions than a weave mill should be ereoled the power, It seems to us, would be sufficient, v'. The Press and Banner gladly welcomes the i Electric Power Company, ^hd we feel sure that It will be only a short time until every { horse power will be utilized for some purpose. t And this fact would mean progress for Abbeville. m - Prof. J.

On tbe 16tb September, 18T1, be was elected President of Ersklne College by tbe Synod which met at Long Cane. At that time be was leiB than twenty-nlue years old.

Soon after be entered upon his work as president of Ersklne College he began work in tbe seminary. His life's work was done in this community where be bad won tbe respect and love of all who knew him. In honoring him we honor ourselves. He was one oi Mofnra'a nnhlnmnn. H?

He Had closely Identified blmseif with this congregation upon his return to Due West and was recognized aa a member of It. He was deeply Interested In every enterprise In which the congregation waa engaged. expressions of the faculty. Dr. J. I. McCaln'as the member of the facul- i ty who had been longest Identified with Dr. Grler offered the following resolutions that i nad been adopted by the facul ty. In view of the fact that God In his Boverlgn wisdom has taken from ub by death our beloved brother and faltblal co-laborer Dr. W. M. Grler, we the faculty of Ersfelne College desire : 1. To express our sincere sorrow at the { death of one whom we both honored and loved. 2. To express our sense of loss in being henceforth deprived of the wise and aftectlonate counsel of a friend and colleague whom we so long bad trusted. 8. To record our appreciation of the lasting service which our brother rendered to Erskine College, the church and the world in moulding the character of the young men who for more than a quarter of a century aave come unuer iue muueuuti ui uio irauulog and bis noble Christian life. 4. To convey to the family our heartfelt sympathy and to comfort them with the divine assurance that our friend and their dear one is not dead bat sleeping and, that ere long Jesus himself will come, that he may nwafce him out of sleep. DR. M'CAIN'S TRIBUTE. Dr. McCain said that be was not present to make an address?that be felt like standing with bowed bead as the best tribute that be oould pay blm. That4 to know blm was to loveblm. We honored him and loved blm as a counsellor and adviser, for the counsel given to us as a bcdy and for the counsel glv?n to us aB Individuals. Dr. McCain satd "If I bave been of any service to the churob since my connection with tbe college I attribute it to bis influence" and while we caa no longer feel tbe warm grasp of bis band nor bear bis familiar voice be still lives in tbe hearts of all those who bave been under blm. His work 1b of the kind that shall live. We lament that he bas gone but I can imagine no leatb more appropriate to blm than tbe one be died. The soldier does nolwlab to die in prison or in bis tent but In battle. 80 did Dr. | Brier die, la the harness, busy to tbe end. PRESIDENT CROMER AND NEWBERRY COLLEGE. j Prof. George B. Cromer, tbe President of ' Newberry College, said that he bad come as 1 the representative of the college to pay the Bllent tribute of his presence at the grave of Dr. Grier. He read the resolutions adopted oy tbe faculty of thrft institution in 1897: I 'We have learned with pleasure that on tbe I5tb lnst, Ersklne College will celebrate the I quarter oentennial of the presidency of Dr. VA7 Vf n rl a* onH tro roar rot that a Annflftot. nf 1 appointments prevents us from sending a I member of this faculty to represent Newberry College at tbe celebration.

Tbat be bad learned to admire him long before he had the pleasure of bis acquaintance but tbat later on when be bad assumed grave Etnd serious responsibilities as tbe president Df Newberry College be soon learned tbat he < had tbe full sympathy of Dr. Grler and learn- ; ed to love blm. rRIBUTB FROM THE SOUTH CAROLINA COLLEGE. - Prof. F. C. Woodward, tbe President of tbe 3outb Carolina College, said tbat he esteemed It a privilege to be here aDd a Joy so far as Lbere could be Joy In ouch sad circumstances, rbat be did Dot know Dr. Grler Intimately, t t>ut tbat be was bappy to learn ol bis work ( and tbat be bad felt tbe uplift of bis acqualu- , lance and contact wltb blm. Closed with these words, "Let me die tbe deatb of tbe I righteous, let cay last end be like bis." , WHERE DB. GKIEE WAS PHOTOGRAPHED. Rev. J. N. Summeral, thepastor of tbe Pres- ' ayterlan cburob at Anderson, was present iud said tbat Dr. Grler was photographed In Lbe lives of those wbo bad been under bis lnitructlon and gone out from tbe Institution 3f wblch be was the president. Wbat a privilege was theirs and what a privilege was yours. He expressed a high appreciation of Dr. Grler and of the work be bad done and nad now laid down. "Mark tbe perfect man, sehold tbe uprigbt, for the end of tbat man is peace." ABBEVILLE KEENLY FELT THE LOSS. Dr. W. h. PreBBly, who was chosen pastor, 1 Df the church at Due West twelve days alter Dr. Urler was elected president of Ersklne Jo liege, and who was the most Intimate friend of Dr. Grler In all the Synod, was not ^ It home when he died. He was at Long Cane preaching. Dr. Pressly spoke from a full 1 leart. lie said, at 11 o'clock today as I drove ] into the town oi Abbeville the first acquaintance 1 met startled me with the announcement, Dr. Urler Is dead. Abbeville feels the j loss keenly, lor every man 1 met there expressed sympathy with Due West In this loss. J l left town a few days ago, leaving him In us- 1 aal health. Today I return to find blm gone. ] His splendid form-and who has not admired It?lies there, but my friend Is absent. For 1 nearly thirty years we lived on adjoining lots ?tie was my friend and counsellor?when in 30U0i x consulted bim. Today 1 can enter f more fully into the word6 o! David than ever s before, "I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan; very pleasant hast thou been unto I me; thy love to me was wonderful, passing t the love of women." I feel more like Joining * this mourning company than making a talk an this occasion. Dr. Urler was In the full vigor of manhood, carrying on a great work for God and his church. His work 1b done, I tils was a well rounded life, complete in all Its l parts. He died as every true minister would f love U) die?In tbe harness. He died with the V v / 1 ?/ m_ in'ni ...mAn ominHlnir In his ui uia ianb nCI ? , heart. What a breach In this congregation. In this community and in the church, and the thought In many hearts and minds Is, who shall take his place. Let us fallback again on faith. God never wants for Instruments, suitable instruments, to carry on his work. DR. GRIER AS A SOLDIER. Dr. J. Lowrle Wilson, of Abbeville, spoke of Dr. Grler as a soldier. He said how good, how gracious was our loving Saviour to this soldier. On the Sabbath, that best of all the days, after one more appeal to his bearers in the service of his Master his work was ended. Here lies before me a volume with the title? a vindication of the Confederate cause. For a man like this to enter the tented Held, to endure and risk and be ready and willing to die is the highest vindication of the justice of tbe cause for which be lougnt. mis dook iw sealed for the time; he has ceased to be s survivor here, but he Is now a survivor on the other side among the vast Dumber of Confederate soldiers who have passed over the River. My appeal to the old Conlederate soldier Is to give himself to Jesus, to enlist under bis banner and to fight under his captain. We leave our soldier with bis King. He has received his discharge, an honorable discharge, has gone home to receive bis reward. CONCLUDING PRAYER. Rev. J. C. Galloway said a prayer, and the announcement was made that the exercises would be concluded at the grave. BURIAL AT SUN SET. As the sun sank beneath the western sky the remains were laid away in the cemetery In the presence of the throng and the benedlctloD pronounced by tbe Rev. J. A. Brown, of tbe Baptist church.

Tbe cause or tbe Confederacy was near bis heart and be remembered wltb tender solicitude his brother soldiers and no survivor Id the State was more highly honored by his fellow survivors than was Dr. Grler.
