?'AX AGE OP FALSEHOOD."
Bishop Morrison spoke from th9
pulpit of the First Methodist
church of Atlanta on last Sunday
to the Free Masons of that city.
In the course of his sermon the
bishop said : "It has seemed to me
of late that the present is an age of
falsehood and the status of society
and of our business life will bear
me ont. Thousands of men will
not tell the truth unless they know
they can make something by it.
The moral decay of the present age
is due to this disregard for truth.
Lies are put up in packages, sent
out in barrels and hung on hooks.
Men are justifying themselves with
the fact that their acts are common.
"That embalmed beef sent to
Cuba is no worse than we get today.
I believe that the large death list
in this county which is daily grow
ing grsater, is du6 directly to the
dishonest adulteration of the food
which goes in the homes of our
country. The whole commercial
world is honeycombed with
untruthfulness, and the inordinate
love Of money which haB taken
hold of our people is at the bottom
of it.
"There are men in Atlanta today
who have been running to money
solong that while their wealth ie
five times as great as formerly their
reputation and their influence for
good in the community is more
thaa five times as small as it was
before.*'
If Gov. Sheppard intends to
make the race for Governor again,
the year of grace 1900, just ahead,
is his opportunity. The auguries
are fairly auspicious, the political
skies propitious. The wave of re
pentance ebbing from the full tide
of reform triumphant, placed Earle
in the United States Senate ; that
tide may still be ebbing enough
and repentant enough, if we may
use such an image, to put John C.
Sheppard in Ihe gubernatorial
chair. There is no assurance
doubly sure for Mr. Sheppard in
the outlook, but some ventures must
be made, some risks taken in poli
tics as in everything else.
He either fears his fate coo much,
: Or his deserts are small
Who would not put it to the touch
_To win or lose it all.
A meeting to protest against the j
war in the Philippines was held in
Cincinnati on last Saturday.
The principal address was by
Prof. J. Lawrence Laughlin of
Chicago university. Other speak
ers were Prof. V. N. Myers of
Cincinnati university, Rev. Her
bert Bigelow, Rev. Hugo G.
Eisenlohr, who spoke in German,
and Edwin Burritt Smith of
Chicago. Letters approving the
meeting's object were read from
Judge Rufus B. Smith, Rabbi
Phillipson, Boyd Vincent, Louis
F. Poast, editor of the Chicago In
dependent, and others.
Resolutions were adopted |
denouncing the war as unholy and
demanding its discontinuance.

SOME PERSONAL RECOL.
LECTIONS OF INCIDENTS
AND MEN YEARS AGO.
BY AN OLD STAGER.
MR. EDITOR: Your type-settei
made us to say "for instance,'
when we wrote "for instruction,"
which destroyed the sense of the
sentence in which it occurred.
In one of our communications
we said something about Little
Stevens Creek church and some ol
the noble Christian men and wo
men who composed the member
ship of that church. We propose
now to say something o? another
church of which we were a fre
quent visitor in our boyhood. We
mean Gilgal. To get there we had
to travel over a rugged, rocky, hilly
road, as-every one knows who ever
visited in that section. In going
there we passed the residence of
old Uncle Caleb Holloway, one of
the landmarks of that day and
time. There were three brothers
of that name-Billy, Jordan and
Caleb-all of whom lived to a ripe
old age. The first named was the
first to die, then followed Caleb
with Jordan as survivor. They
were honorable, thrifty men. We
also passed on the way thither
through th9 yard of the widow
Strom who enjoyed some celebrity
in administering medicines to the
sick. One of the remedies most
used was lobelia, given to the ex
tent of putting the patient in "the
state of alarm," which meant that
he was made so sick that he could
not be made much more so and
survive. If the first course did not
produce the desired effect, the pa
tient was to be carried through a
second similar ordeal but of in
creased intensity. But few patients
would say that they were not im
proved in the face of the threaten
ed repetition of "the alarm" treat
ment. Her ministrations, however,
were not coufined to that one
remedy. She made herself useful
in ministering to the necessities of
ladies on certain occasions.
Gilgal in the day of which we
speak hud as their pB6tor, Rev.
Thomas Chiles, that Godly man,
refined Christian gentleman and
eloquent preacher with voice
so effeminate, and yet so persua
sive and tender as to touch the seu
sibiilties of sinners. Among the
notable members who worshipped
there were Mr. Luke DeVore, whose
eyes so often suffused with tears
under the preaching of the Word,
Dr. John Loko, SUi?. r-u-, a~~-D
Blocker, Luke Culbreath, L&wis
Reynolds, Sam Strom, Butler Wil
liams, Isaac Boles, Garrison Hollo
way, Eldred Byrd, Artemus Lowe,
Abram Ad ams, Robert Lanier,
Temple Martin, old Squire Settle,
David Seigler, Guthridge Cheat
ham, and many others whose
names we do not recall. The mere
mention of these names is a suffi
cient guaranty of tbe strength and
spirituality of the saints who wor
shipped there to Bay nothing of the
long array of Christian women
who filled no secondary place in the
graces which gave sanctity to the
worship of God. We, perhaps,
would be excusable for mentioning
by name Mrs. Isabella Blocker,
whose attendance upon the preach
ad word was so punctual and whose
devotion and piety were so exem
plary as one of the mothers in
Israel of that church.
After long years of experience
and observation, we are prepared
to believe the citizens of Sleepy
Creek, Little Stevens Creek and
Gilgal sections of Edgefield county ;
have not been excelled by any
other rural portions of the county
or State in all that go to make up
character for morality, Christian
ity, sobriety, honor, truth, honesty
and industry. To have been
brought up in such a community,
receiving the blessings of such as
sociations and examples we recog
nize as a great blessing in shaping
our own life. We shall ever revere
the memories and the virtues of
these people.
In that day it was the custom,
we might say rale, for every thrifty
farmer to raise everything that
was needful for man and beaBt to
eat and much of that which was to
wear. The fugal farmer had his
sheep and cows and hogs; hence
he provided himself and .family
with mutton and beef and bacon
and fruits off of his farm and often
had some for market. He raised
hi3 own horses and mules, his own
corn and wheat and oats with
Borne to spare.
We did noi know what it was to
buy Western flour and Western or
Kentucky or Tennessee bacon nor
corn nor meal. Farmers did buy
salt and iron and sugar and coffee.
They raised their own rice and
beat it in a mortar with a pestle.
It was a slow process but a sure
one. Threshing machines were
not much in vogue either. Oatt
and wheat and rye and barley were
Bet up in bundles on the butt end
until a circular heap was formed
of sufficient circumference to allow
four or six or eight horses, two
abreast, togo on it, and tbey wert

dri 3n around and around until
the grain was shelled outofj.be
hull. It was then separated from
the straw with forks as nearly as
could be. The next process was
to separate it from the chaff by
dipping it with a wooden scoop
and throw it from one corner of
the barn to the other. The grain
fell against the opposite wall
whilst the chaff fell by the way. It
was a tedious process, but persist
ence soon made a beautiful pile of

multitude is now feed at the ex
pense of health and depletion of

money then in the country and if
any man ran short he could borrow
it from one of his neighbors. Now
nearly all farmers are borrowers
with no neighbor lenders. Money
has found its way into the pockets
of the few and is concentrated into
those of fewer year by year. No

country which does not reach out J

OBITUARY.
MRS. CATHERINE HARVLEY
ON Thursday morning, June 22nd
our community v?as saddened by the .
death of MRS. CATHERINE- H RVLKY,
wife of Mr. J. C. Harvley. S'je was
6ick two weeks,, but it was not thought
to be serious until a few hours before '
she died. She suffered intensely but
bore it with christian fortitude, and
was never beard to murmer during her
sickness. She leaves a husband and :
eight children with a large host of
relatives and friends to mourn their
loss, but we feel that our loss is her
gain, for we believe that she loved and
trusted Jesus as her Savior. Her last
words were : "Lord, take mo home to
rest."
She was a lady possessing some no
ble traits of character. Her greatest
pleasure seemed to be in living and la
boring for her ohildren, and no sacri
fice seemed too great for her to make
for those she loved. No one in distress
was ever turned from her door empty
handed. It was such a pleasure to her
to share the fruits of her labors with
others. Indeed I she seemed to be hap
piest when giving others happinese.
We can recall, and never forgot, the
many, many acts of kindness shown
us.
Her funeral services were conducted
at the fciodoc Baptist church by Kev.
J. T. Littlejohn. She will be sadly
missed in our church and community,
but more than all will she be missed in
her home. None but those who have
experienced the same loss can realize
how she will be missed in *;hat borne
To the heart-broken husband and chil
dren we can only say, "Look to Him
who doeth all things well."
May God in His goodness bless this
affliction to the good of her loved ones,
and may it be the means of drawing
them nearer to Him, is the prayer of
ON? WHO LOVED HE?.
IN MEMORIAM,
OUR community is now passing
through a season of sadness and gloom.
Only about two weeks ago death came
into the home of our neighbor and
friend Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Gilchrist
and laid hands upon MR. GILCHRIST,
one of the oldest and best citizens of
the Rehoboth section. He was born,
reared and lived in Edgefleld county.
He was well known and respected by
all and those who knew him best loved
him most.
His frankness and candor, his gen
erosity and kindness will ever stand
conspicuous in the remembrance of all
who knew him. lie was an earnest
and consistent member of toe Reho
both Baptist church for a number of
years, and always strove to do his duty.
?.nd during ali the time of his suffer
ing he did not murmur or complain,
out bore his pain with fortitude and
patient submission to the will of God.
He leaves a loving wife and fond chil
dren to mourn bis loss,and I commend
you to lean on the strong:arm that viii
sustain you and guide you to your lost
one. "Therefore, comfort yourselves
with these words : "Not dead, but
sleepetb. he ?hall rise ngain."
