fcdgefield Advertiser TITOS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, JAN. 6,1897. TO BE BEMEMBERED. The year 1896 will be memora ble for the following [d^eda and events. (1) In international matters, a treaty of arbitration between Great Britain and the United States in the Venezuela matter,'in which Great Britain throws a sop to the United] States by a small coucesBion to the Munroe doc trine, herself receiving, practi cally, all the disputed territory while Venezuela pays the fiddler. It looks as if John Bull had tickled Uncle Sam and in return Uncle Sam had tickled John Bull, leav ing our eister republic deep in the soup. (S!) The defeat of Bryan and frea silver, which maybe a finality, or the issw; may be made again in 190o__a problem too far off to solva at this writing. (S) In science, the discovery of | the X-rays by Pr'.f. Roentgen, by which the human eye virtually sees through an eight inch plank. (4) The distant application cf the electric power generated bj Niagara Falls, and the opening of a canal through the Iron Gatos of the Danube, which makes that river navigable from the Black Sea to the Bavarian frontier. (5) The tidal wave in Japan on June 19th, which destroyed 27,000 ta^human being3; the trampling to death of 1,500 persons during the coronation festivities at Moscow, Russia, on May 30tb, and the cy clone at St. Louis on May 27th, which killed 500 persons. (6) Nansen's expedition to the North Pole in which he approach ed within 225 miles of that cov eted goal. Nearer than any other explorer. Senator Tillman and family have gone on to WaBh'dgton. . ( Gladstone celebrated his eighty seventh birthday on Dec. 29th. **"*^*44^r?s a new disease-neuras an oldei^elrrvAijis ? new name for with it. ^^^^ickles is ill On Monday the schools through out; the State re-opened, and the boys and girls have settled dowu to five qr six months of hard work, I at Central, Sa^ e -< last week, en rou^^from San Francisco to Washington. A terrible blizzard is prevailing in the Northwest-thermometer 15 to 18 degrees below zero and still falling. It will doubtless bring us a cold wave-, but we want no buzzards here. On Saturday a tornado struck the town of Morningsport, La., and blew down every house in the town but two, and killed several 'people. An immense conflagration in| Nashville, Tenn., on last Saturday destroyed more than a million dollars worth of property-the most disastrous in the history of the city. Debs has left the populist party and joined the socialists; Coxey hasleft the populists and joined the democracy. Which is the greater, the loss of Lobs to the pop ulists or tho gain of Coxey to the "democracy?" Reports still come from Havana that Maceo is alive and is recu perating rapidly. The Cubans have a project of sending him to the United States as soon as he is able and have already ordered a vessel for that purpose. The war cloud in Cuba was not lifted by the death of Maceo, but still hangs like a pall over the ill-fated Island. Hietory is re peating itself and the cruel cam paigns of Cortes and Pizarro are conducted again by Wey 1er and his minions. On Dec. 30th a serious fire oc curred in Darlington, destroying a number of valuable buildings, stores and offices, including the dispensary. Loss ab jut $75,000, L insurance light. Fire supposed to Ikbave been caused by explosion of Iffkerosene lamps in an office. J The republican platform de cland for bimetallism contingent upon an international agreement for the double standard, but verv few placed any confidence in the declaration, huton last Saturday Senator "Wycott sailed for Europe as the envoy of bimetallism, and . during this month an interna tional conference will br held in London, in which five governments /will be represented. I The Great Power? of Europe lave at last heeded the clamors of Christendom and have notified the Sultan ot.Turkey that he must no ouger delay lo cf.rry out his jrcmises of reform in the admin stration of iaw. ; and ' justice throughout his dominions. When Fan Tompkins, Secretary SrStaie, was in Edgefield last, aalesday in Dfcember, he woro a hat, mucbdilapidated, that he ha&|| been using for a ben's nest ; and although it rained all day-he stood in it and took it just as we farm ers do, without an umbrella. All of this indicates li?t Dan has as pirations-shall we say guberna torial? The Venezuelan question, that a year e go threatened to become a casus belli between the United States and Great Britain, has been settled to the satisfaction of all concerned. The war scare, how ever, was of benefit to our country, occasioning as it did the strength ening of our coast defences and the building of new and formida ble war vessels. Mr. Cowper Patton, a member of th3 legislature from Richland county, will at the present session introduce a bill to re-district the State so that each congressional district will be made up of coun ties contiguous to each other. There will be two Piedmont dis tricts, two coast districts, one cen tral district, one Pee Dee district, and one Savanuah river district, this last will of course take in Edgefield, and be made up. prob ably, of Abbeville, Barnwell, Ed gefield and Auderson. JOHNSON'S REMINISCENCES His Estimate of Some of the Preachers of thc EdsrefieU^ Association. The following in relation to some of Edgefield's old-time Bap tist preachers, we clip from the Baptist Courier of recent date. It is from the pen of Dr. W. B. John son of sainted memory, himself a resident of our town for many years. At the protracted meeting at Edgefield, I had the opportunity since my removal of becoming uainted with the ministers of field Baptist Association ^.^ot known before. And most satisfaKrr^jeed waB reachers, whose labors?? was please 1 to bless in the great work bf saving souls. Of some of these I shall take pleasure in giving reminiscences; but to do it of all the ministers luid be im practicable, for waut of the neces sary acquaintance with them. Bro. Nicholas W. Hodgea posses sed good mind, with warm zeal and ardent piety in the cause of his divine Master. From youth to manhood he was exemplary aud conscientious in his conduct. At an early period of life he made profession of the Jeligion of Jesns Christ and desired to be a praaoher of his gospel. On entering the South Carolina College he took a partial cour?e, as he had the ministry in view, that ho might pursue those studies only which he thought would contribute to his usefulness as a minister of 'Christ. In the development of of his powers as a 'preacher he was happily prepared for usefulness iu protracted meetings. On the most exciting occasions he was calm self possessed, exhibiting the truth in plainness of speech and in deep earnestness of soul, and with direct purpose to impress the heart and understanding, that the soul miecht be savod ; and his labors wore not in vain, for God was with him and blessed him and made him a bless mg to many precious souls. At the close of our meeting at the courthouse, the ministers divided into two bandy, one going north and tho other going south among the churches. Tho in habitants of the town of Newberry, in which there was no Baptist organization, attended some of these meetings, and on their return home proposed to their fellow citi zens to invite the ministers to visit them and hold a protracted meet ing . in their town, which was agreed to, and a deputation was sent with a request to Bro. Hodges and his band that they should come and hold a meeting among them. On their arrival they were welcomed, and conducted to a heautifui grove which had been appropriately prepared for tke oc casion. In this consecrated place these holy men of God labored for nany days and nights for the good )f the people, and with the bless ng of the God of grace, large was he ingathering of immortal ?ouls o his great name. Of all ranks md classes willing converts came oJe8Uswith penitent hearts and >elieving minds and were buried ri th him in immersion. Of these . Baptist church was formed, and ometime after Bro. Hodges be a*ne their pastor, but whilst ble to preach he continued his ibors in protracted meetings with auch acceptance to his brethren nd usefulness in the cause of h leavenly Father. Bro. M. M. Abney, wi*houVrthe id of the school**, bad accunred a 'rofpund and distinct srcquaint ,nce with divine trutb/as taught n the Bible, and also tho power of inpressing its great principles and ts solemn sanctions upon bis ?earors in a clear and attractive nanner. To this power be had at ained, through God's blessing, >y a careful attention to his lan guage, which was most happily suited to express and enforce the rich store of thought whidfc be had ?reasured up in his mind. His judgment, too, was so accurate that it enabled him to suit his dis course with sigular propriety to the occasion. When not engaged Ibe aspect of Bro. Abney's coun tenance indicated an abstraction from the world, as if he were med itatiug about heavenly things; but when he was listening to the able discourse of a good minister, or engaged ^u conversation on an im portant ?ubject, his countenance would become enlived and his eye be brightened up "in a peculiar manner indicative of the interest he felt in the subject, a,nd of the delight with which be drank in the streams of knowledge ano^vis dom. It is not surprising, tnV 3 fore, that he was an instructVe and interesting preacher, and aV ways heard with acceptance by alP classes. He was not un frequently eloquent, and in bis last discourte rose to the sublime, His mind had been for sometime ripening for glory, and in that discourse a view of the scene around the throne above seemed suddenly to present itself to his mind, in which the heavenly choir sing the praises of their Redeemer Lord. This filled his heart to overflowing and he .plured forth its fulness in exalted strains. The audience felt their force and yielded to tbe transport ing thrill Thai, brought their feel ings into unison wi h those of the minisler of God. The health of tho servant of the Lord was too feeble io enable him to endure thc labors of the ministry on earth through a long lifo, and therefore when he was about thirty years of age bis Master bade him go up up higher to servtkhim in a purer and better world.
