Edgefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, JAN. 13, 1397. AN OLD LAN DM AUK. Dr. William D. Jennings Sr., died on Saturday last, the 9th dav of Jan uary, at the residence cf his life-long friend and kinsman, John R. Black well. On Monday his remains were brought to our town and laid to rest by the side of his wife and oldest son. "Old Doctor Bill," as generally called, was one of our ancient landmarks, as widely known in Edgelield county, perhaps, as my man living or dead. For more than seventy-seven years he has been going in and out among us. and for only a short period of this long life was he absent from bis beloved old ojunty and peopie. (Immediately after the war he Jived in Galveston, Texas where he was a member of the faculty of a medical college in that city.) Dr. Jennings was noted above all things for his genial disposition ; he "'showed himself friendly" toall.and in affliction or distresr was unremitting in bis ministrations. A kinder hearted man or physician never lived, if we may judge ny his acts. And if all in Edge Held county who have received kind nesses at his hands would bring a wreath for his grave it would make a monument higher than any other in our city of the dead. LOGA? BREVITIES.

Their help and sympathy will be most gratefully remembered. And to the neighbors both white and col ored, who came to my rescue on the day of the fire, I also return unbounded thanks. MARY H. BARR. A NIGGER FROLIC At Tompkins' Cross Roads at Which Half a Dozen People are Shot-Time to Call a Halt. MR. EDITOR : One night during Christmas week on Tompkins' cross roads place, Lark Backer had a hot supper, and during the first part of the night everything went off smoothly, not the least ripple to mar any one's pleasure. The violin st was grinding out the sweetest of music. Oh, how it did delight the ear, and young ladies and gents skipped across th? floor in French dancing master style. But all of a sudden the dime? be gan to fly around to pay the violin ist, and nome one of the party raised a fuss about 10 cents. The lights were blown out as quick as a flash of lightning au? then pop. pop went the pistols like a pack of fire crackers, and when* the smoke cleared away four per sons were found wounded. Mr. John Timmerman, superin tendent o( the plantation, who was there to keep the darkies from burning his fence, was coming out of the door and had had no fuss with any one. was seriously shot in the abdomen, though not con sidered dangerous, and one colored man's knee was badly shattered. Two other colored men were slight ly wounded. Almost every negro man and boy carries pistols, and I heard some of them talking one day about -hooting some one they had fallen out with, justas if they were going out some where to shoot a dog and would be no more harm. Our legislature should make an office to have an officer looking all the time for pistol car riers. Those who did the shooting at Blocker's supper ought to be tied and severely punished for shooting into the whole crowd. There is too much frolicking, shooting and gambling among the people and not enough work which seems to be a secondary matter. Land own ers ought to put a stop to these hot supper frolics iu the interest of peace and prosperity, and get the people to work, as n ithiug much will be done as long as these frolics are going on. During the Christmas of 1895 uear this place, tnere was a good colored man shot and killed, and the thing will continue togo on until the white folks take some I steps to put it down, and the sooner the better. Such laboran! farm ing carried on in the way its now carried on by the land owuers, is a disgrace and a perpetual draw back to the prosperity of our country. LOOKER ON. Jan. 4th, 1897. JOHNSON'S REMINISCENCES His Estimate of Some of the Preachers of the Edenfield Association. (Continued from last week.) Bro. Samuel Cartledge, or rather Father Cartledge, an he was called by the brethren in the latter days of bia life, when I became acquain ted with him, was one of the most useful Baptist preachers in the DisUict of EdgofiVld, He was a hard working man, and though destitute of the advantages of ?ducation, God was pleased to make him a preacher of the gospel of his Son. At the time of his removal into he district preachers of the gospel were few. He was therefore cordially received. It was so ordered in divine providence that soon alter hie removal fi,e persons became s ck, and w"ere thought to be dangerous, and finally hopele--'. Father Cartledge was Bent for. w. o made praver to God for their resiorat.on to health. His prayer was answered and they all ti covered. This g.^ve the peo ple gieat confidence in him as favored of God. They therefore went out in coii8iderabla numbers to bear him preach, and his labors bf mg much 'blessed many were convrt.*d to God and baptized and formed into churches. His manner of preaching was plain, and the positions he took were illustrated and sustained by anecdotes which though sometimes amusing, were useful iu making the truth helter understood by the larger class of Lis hearers who like himself, were without education. His gift in prayer was remarkable for its simplicity. It was like the little child pleading with his father for some favor upon which his h? art is set in tones subnrssive and yet with an earnestness that can take no denial. To his plain ness of speech and true spirit of prayer with which.God had blessed this honored servant is attribut able the success of his labors. He lived to a good old age loved and respected by all who knew him. I have before stated that the Convention had removed their Institution to a more central part of the State. This was in Stinter district near the High Hills of Santee, where Rev. Dr. Jesse Hartwell resided, and under hi? care a id tuition the students were placed iu his own house. Bro. Hartwell was possessed of au im perturbable disposition which, as I wa6 told by one of the students, they never saw ruffled. He was affectionate and warm hearted, zealous in the cause of his Master, weeping over sinners and rejociug over them when brought to the saving knowledge of tho truih; acquainted with the Hebrew, Greek and Latin languages together with the usual branchesof learning taught in our college? he was a teacher of ruost d?sirai, qualities and attainments. The tructiou and example of such f. an was of great value to the cleats. When the manual labo. ysvem was added to tho instituti< n, and it was removed to another location, Bro. Hartwell removed to ' the West and became tbs president, of a college near the Red River in the State.of Missouri, where he ended his useful !ife, esteemed and loved by all who were acquainted with (him. Rev. Jonathan Davis entered J?e ministry at a peiiod of life somewhat advanced without the advantages of a collegiate or theological cours* of study. But having a good, practical mind and being posset-sed of an ample for tune, he gave himself very much to the ministry and was useful. Of his abundant means, he was liberal to institutions of religion, benevolence and learning. At the time of bis becoming a member of Baptist Convention manual labor scho AB were regarded by many as necessary to the educatiou of boys and young men. Bro. Davia being an industrious and practical man was their zealous advocate. Other members of the Convention thought favorably of them also. And upon the offer cf Bro. Davis to canvass his own district and the one next to it for the requisite sum, it was agreed, if he was suc cessful, to add the manual labor system to the institution. The subscription wa? opened and Bro. Davis headed it wi! h $1,000, and set out in due time with a willing mind and strong failh upou the noble enterprise. He preached as he went, presenting the object of agency on all1 proper occasions to the attention of the people, and God was pleased to bless his labors in his preaching and his agency. Souls were saved. and the amount required was raised. A farm was bought and the implements of husbandry provided, and the students at proper intervals of study went to work, and things went on promising for a time. But a sad disaster befell the onterprise. Our principal building was des troyed by fire, involving t':e prin cipal in a severe loss and the students in losses of less amounts. Upon mature deliberation the manual labor system was dis continued. After some years Bro. Davis was afflicted hy the loss of his property. He nevestheless con tinued his labors in the ministry, and became a domestic mission ary, notwithstanding a lameness received before which obliged him to uso crutches. I visited him in his last illness and very much regretted lo find him so eeble that, in his efforts to speak, he could not be understood. But bringing his hands together .Ina devotional manner I saw bis lips move as he lifted his eyes up ward, and I doubt not that his Father in heaven understood and comforted his dear servant, who died the next day. It was my mournful privilege to perform the funeral rites of this dear brother whom I loved wi h warm and ten d- r affection.

WP clip the following interest, ing data regarding Winthrop College from correspondence in Colmmbia Register: The annual meeting of Board of Trustees was held last Friday evening. President Johnson pre sented the report of last year's work and the annual report to the Legislature was made up from it. FroKi I he report and from till facts brought out, last year was a most prosperous one. All linancial esti mates as to tho expenses of the stu dents made in the prospectus be fore the opening of the school, and also the appropriations made hy the General Assembly, have been kept intact. Good board has been furnished, use of rooms, light, herat and washing for $8.50 per mouth. As the result of the satisfactory work of the first session, there has been a most auspicious beginning of tbo second. The attendance has been greater than the whole of last session, and would have bee-.i larger if there had been room in the dormitory for more students. Of the 800 who applied for ad mittance during the summer, 403 have been enrolled, of which number only 240 eau be accom modated in the present dormitory. With comparatively small ex penditure for additional dormitory accommodations, the college could be made doubly effective and could benefit almost tw.ee as many girls. The foundations of another | dormitory of the same con struction as thc present one haye been laid brick and a large amoun' of stone left over from the other bhilding are now on the grounds. The report of the Board of Trustees, it was found tho States Ol Virginia, North Carolina. Flcrdia, ai.d every county in the State cf South Carolina are re presented. The average age of the girls is 18 yearsand Ihre-.* months. Much valuable work has been done on the farm during the past year.lt has been much improved l y terracing, ditching and draining. An orchard of raors than 80Q fruit trees, early and late varieties, h;is been plant*.d, and preparations have been made for raising many of the smaller fruits. The croi s have been good. A large quantity of oats and 1,200 bushels of corn have been harvested. The college grounds have been much improved. Walks and macadamized drives has been laid out, and a neat iron leuce placed around the grounds. The Alumnae Association was increased last year by the ; of 'he twenty-two gradu 1896, thus making in earnest, devoted and women who have gone teachers in the State. The college bnildin equipments were placed posai of the teachers of t at their annual meeting 1 mer, andover 100 of the leauuig teachers of the State were accom modated. Tha religious life of the in stitution is carefully guarded. Attendance upon their own churches or tho churches to which their parents or guaidians belong, is required every Sunday, except in case of sickuess. President Johnson has arranged with the ministers of Rock Hill to preach regularly in the co.lege chapel on Sunday nights thus providing for every Sunday in the month. At tendance upon Sunday school is sncouraged. The Young Women's Christian Association, organized in Columbia laBt year, exerts strong influence upon the religious life and a band of 100 earnest and loyal young women are now mak ing their influence for good felt thioughout the institution. Tnere has been uo trouble or friction in the discipline of tho school sine? its organization. The whole plan of government is con ceived and executed with the view of makiug the college a pleasant, busy and therefore well-ordered, home. The object is to develop self control, high character, and a desire lo do the right because it is right. A fine spirit of earnestness and loyalty pervades the whole student body. The girls as a rule are painstaking and careful mall their duties. To meet the needs of enlarged work, the faculty has been in creased by the addition of four in structors to teach modern lan guages, reading and elocution, physiology and hygiene,' mathe matics and English.
