Death or John A. Devlin.
Jobn A. Devlin died at his home In Du<
West yesterday evening, September 24, 1901
a?ed 6 > years,
Mr. Devlin made a fine record an a soldiei
Id the Confederate war. lie came home pen
nlless and went to work with a will and mad<
money. He saved it and was in comfortable
circumstances for many years before hit
death.
As a citizen be was public spirited. At oDe
he would have built a railroad from Due
West to Donalds, if lie bad met with encouragement.
When the Abbeville cotton mill
was projected he subscribed liberally to the
capital stock. Later, he was largely instrumental
in building tbe public school at Due
West. He g?ve liberally to church purposes,
and was scrupulously cwrelul to pay hisdebls.
Late In life he moved to Due West became
of tbe educational advantages which that
town offered. He was a good citizen, a devoted
husband and father.
Mr. Devlin had been in bad health for more
than a year, and of late his death was not
unexpected.
Death of Mrs, Link.
\ira VfoMilo l.intr th a halnvprt Uf I ffi of Mr.
U. 8. Link Is dead. Sbe lingered long, aud
made a brave tight for life, but she finally
yielded to man's great enemy 011 tbe evening
of September 23.1901. Abbeville bad no better
woman than Mrs Link. No woman was
more greatly beloved than Mrs. Link, and no
oommunlty ever bad a more useful woman.
Sbe took a leading part In all tbat looked to
tbe Interest of tbe cburcb or society, and sbe
never tired In good words and In good deeds.
For years sbe took great Interest Id beautifying
tbe grounds at Upper Long Cane Cemetery,
where loving hands laid her to rest
yesterday. Nearly everybody In Abbeville
attended the funeral. All fell that they had
lost a friend.
Strange.
A writer in the News and Courier suggested
tbat tbe railroads run their tracks along tbe
water front of the rivers, so as to Increase
the railroad facilities. The strange part of 11
Is. tbe News aud Courier, unequivocally and
forcibly, endorses tbe scheme. There Is hope
for Charleston. When Charleston ceases to
live In tbe past, and when her people realize
tbat tbelr business methods must be equal to
those of other cities, the good old city will
prosper, and all tbe land will be proud to
have tbe sympathy aud co-operation of the
city in tbe ettort to build up the city and the
' State.

Since last week's report the price of cotton

Our buyers have plenty of money for either
cotton or seed, and the competition Is sharp.

In a letter to the current Issue of The Manufacturer's

progress of the Spanish war.
"The president," says Senator McLaurln,
"spoke beautifully and tenderly of the southern
people, and or bow be Intended to use the
power and Influence of bis great office tc
reunite our country.
"I can recall Ibe words, but who can palnl
the earnestness and eloquence an, raising 01
one band on blgb, bo said: ''Senator, by the
beipof God, I propose to be prenldent of tbe
whole country, tbe Houth as much as the
nortb, and before the end of my term the
outh will understand this."
'No wonder, as a true southern man, I lov
ed and trusted President McKlnley. I stood
by htm In tbe senate and elsewhere and J
thank God that I did.
"Patrlotlo In purpose, and pure In heart
his noble soul Is now with Hlui whom the
bate of man nailed to the cfoss. Like Ltn

DEATH OF MRS. SEILER
h?>
Alter n Lontr and Eventful Life, Her
Career In Ended.
A few days ago without a word of warning
we received the sad Intelligence tbatour relative
aod life loug trlend. Mary Susan Seller,
of New Orleans, was dead. She was a native
of Abbeville County, and her parents, Samuel
Wldeman and Margaret McMllllen are
burled bere. Throughout her life of light and
shadow, memory's sweetest reflection was ol
tier girlhood days In the old Carolina home
and Trom that borne, lrota ber friends and
relatives, this bumble tribute to ber memory,
Its U1ICUIOU IU UCI OVItUntWQ a* .VUV.W.
Mary Susan W'ldemaa was born to the
Bellevue neighborhood In the year 1829. At '
an early age she joined the Methodist Church
at old Ml. Zlon. As a young lady she was endowed
with uncommon intelligence and 1
vivacity and with beauty that I have seldom
seen surpassed. She was twice married, first 1
to Mr. kobl. Harris a wealthy Mississippi
planter, and subsequently to Mr. Frederiok
Seller ol a promlueut German family. Of the
several children born to her by her first bus- >
trnnd, only two survive the death of their
father, viz., Richard and Robert. Richard Is
a member of a prominent Arm with houses 1
In New Orleans, New York and Chloago. He
is the very type of steadiness, business ability
and lntegrltv. 1
Robert, the younger son was educated at
Leipslo, Germany. He bad Just begun his
life work as a professor In one of our Western 1
Colleges, wbeu death claimed him.
Her seoond marriage was blessed with I
three children, Doretta, Laille and Murle. <
These young ladles have all attained proml? 1
oence as teachers In the McDonuougb xcbools 1
of Nmw Orleans, and we may add that Doretta
the eldest, had a reputation as an educator, <
* bleb was uot bounded by the limits ot her "
State. She took a course at Tulane University,
attending ail of the Natiooal educational I
conventions, look extra courses during her
iia??uiinn wnri im one of the Drlncluals of the
city schools used every effort to Keep them I
abreast with the times. Atone time she was i
appointed on a committee of three to revise a I
school history tor the State of Louisiana.
Useful as was her young life, providence I
cut it short. More tbao a year ago, when she I
bad Just returned from a visit to her aunt in i
England,Just after the Christmas holidays, I
we were startled, as In the case of her mother I
with a message announcing her death. Later <
the whole story of her life and death reached
us through the New Orleans papers, for without
exception, they spoke of the deceased in 1
terms that must have comforted the broken 1
heart of the dear old mother. I have spoken i
somewhat at length of the children of the deceased.
for a mother's life, as a rule, is but the
life of her children j at least it is theu that
her virtues, are best reflected. In Mary Seller'n
life as lo every life, shadows are mingled
with sunshine, but whether in sorrow or in
Joy, her faith has always beeu anchored in a
guiding providence. She had reached a good
old age and in simple faith she beard without
terror the echoes from the valley and shadow
of death. Blessed are they who die in the
Lord. Life at best Is but a day, it is death
that is the portal ol eternity.

SPECIAL SERVICES.
LbhI Sunday Evening Dr. Forreiiter,
?f Greenwood, Preached at the
HaptlNt Chnrch and Asnlated In
tbe Ordluation of Three new Deacons,
making now Seven in all.
Dr. E. H. Forrester, pastor of the first Baptist
Church of Greenwood, preached at the
Baptist Ctiuroh here last Sunday evening to
a large and attentive congregation. His sermon
was especially In commemoration of the
ordination or tnree new deacons, no saiu in
part In regard to deacons as follows :
First, ab to tbe origin of the office. It was
apostolic and began lu tbe days of tbe early
cburcb.
Second. As to tbe design of the office. Tbe
Christians tben lived as oue family. Had all
things In oomruon thinking Christ would
soon return, and In tbe dally distribution of
rations some of tbe Greeclan widows were
overlooked which was unfortunate because
the Palestine Jews thought themselves belter,
and of course ibis made the Greek Jews sensitive.
Tbe desclples had not the time to attend
to this distribution, so appointed deacons
to take charge of tbe temporal things of
tbe church.
The temporalities must be attended to keep
up tbe spirituality of tbe cburcb. The Greenwood
cburcb got along well mostly because
the deacons attended to their duties. Tbe
afflce was a pennant one, as 1b shown by tbe
letters of Paul thirty yearB afterwards. Tbe
Idea prevailed for several ceuturleB that each
church must have seven deacons, but now a
church had as many as neceBsary. Tbe
Greenwood Church had twelve.
Third. As to tbe duties of the office. The
leacons were tbe financial agents of the
cburcb. Tbey must provide tbe elements for
Ibe Lord's Supper, but waB Ihe duty of any
member to distribute to tbe congregation.
Fourth. As to the qualifications of the of*
Bee. Deacous must be pious. The people
generally treated them as beggars when tbey
isked for contributions to tbe church, and
they must therefore be patient and gentle.
Must have wisdom *o as to plan to keep up
tbe treasury, must be of good character, must
ne grave, must be truthful, must not be a
drunkard, must not be a money lover, must
t>e orthodox, must not be an adulterer, must
govern bis own bouse, for a man who cannot
control his own bouse cannot hold office in
tbe oburch
People might say by this standard no one Is
at to be a deacon. The New Testament was a
book of Ideals. He could not lower the standard,
but must 8ft lortb tbe Bible Ideal. Tbe
deacon as well as tbe church member must
live as near to It as possible.
At the conclusion of the sermon the three
new deacons, Messrs. D. K. Mltchlner, G. T.J
'l'aie and W. H. Morse, were ordained into tbe
deaconsblp by tbe laying on oi the hands of
the Presbytery. After this the ordinance of
baptism was administered to three candl-l
dates by tbe pastor. W. H. M.
