After due deliberation the mem bers of the Baptist church, in con ference assembled, on Sunday morning last without a dissenting vote instructed the clerk of the church to communicate with Dr. L. R. Gwaltney and ascertain whether or not he will entertain a call to return to Edgefield after his contract with Shorter college shall have been complied with. It is quite certain that the mem bers of the Baptist church will bring Dr. Gwaltney back to Edge field if he can be induced to come. He dearly loves the people of this entire community and we hope and believe that the relationship so reluctantly severed will be restor ed. Should God,in his providence, open the way for h is return there will be general rejoicing in Edge field. A Small Fire. No one expected the fire engine to be called into active service so soon after being installed. About 9 o'clock on Friday night last a fire alarm was echoed and re-echo ed along our streets. The home of Eldred Green, near the trestle, was found to be on fire. As soon ad the alarm broke the stillness of the uight nearly a dozen strong and brave men made a dash for the chemical engine which was housed in front of Grice & Watson's sta ble. Among the young men being Joe Eve Mims. Walter Samuels, Will Covar, Henry Watson, Wal lace Tompkins, John Faulkner, Hiram Lowe and others, who in in the tvtinkling ol an eye were makino for the scene of the fi:e by leaps aud bounds drawiug the "chemical" behind them. When the fire laddies arrived, after a run of nearly a mile, the entire roof of the building was ablaze, some of it falling in. The hose was turned on and the flames were mow- d dowu by the contents of the engine wherever the fire could be reached. It was burniug between the ceiling and roof con sequently it was fought under a very great disadvantage. The fire was almost entirely ex tinguished but the supply of chem ical in the engine became exhaus ted and tho well on the premises was only a hole in the ground a well without water-consequent ly the fire again made rapid head way in spite of all effoits to"outen" it. Two things have been conclu sively shown by the fire. First, that the engine will do all tba,t has been claimed for it. The case in point was a crucial test and it did all that could be expected of it auder the existing circumstances. Second, the one thing needful now is a set of trained men to manage it properly so as to accomplish the most good possible in the shortest time possible. The council should at once call for 10 or 12 volunteers whose duty shall be to take charge of the en gine and become skilled in its use.i Let this yoluuteer fire compauyl feel responsible for charging the! engine and for its prompt appear-l ance at a fire. Uulees some indi-1 vidual or setof individuals assumJ the responsibility it will not bol done. Delay in arranging these del tails is dangerous ; a fire, very dis astrous in its consequences, is lia ble to break out any time, coming as a thief in the night. Pictures Framed.
