lirious all day yesterday, and there
is scarcely any hope of his recovery.
Legislative.
The absorbing interest in the
General Assembly the past week has
been the critical condition of our
beloved governor, yet the business
has proceeded with activity. Many
important bills have been introdn
ced looking to the general advance
ment of public affairs, among them
the bill passed to its third reading
fixing the pay of members to $5 for
each working day, and the time not
to exceed thirty days, making the
aggregate $150 for the session.
In our next we will give full re
ports of all matters of interest trans
piring in both branches.
Monumental Association.
We most respectfully and earn
estly call the attention of all per
sons, and of the ladies particularly,
to the communication on the above
subject in this issue. We owe it to
those who died for their country,
we owe it to their comrades in
arms, we owe it as an example to
our children who shall come after
us to perpetuate the memory of our
dead and the memory of the noble
cause in which they died. The ap
peal is made to the ladies, not for
the purpose of putting a burden
upon them, but because to them,
admirers as they always are of
bravery and heroism, it will be a
labor of love and a labor that they
can carry to a speedy and success
ful issue.
Gov. Hampton.
Gov. Hampton's leg was broken
November 7th. From the first it1
was regarded as a very serious mat
ter. Everything that medical skill
and attention could do was done to
save the limb. It was hoped that
this could be done. The 29th at
change for the worse came, and.
Dr. Kinloch, of Charleston, and Dr.
Campbell, of Augusta, were sent
for. We understand that the Gov
ernor told them that he would ra
ther die than lose his leg, and it
was decided to wait a little longer.
But Tuesday, the 10th instant, it
became evident that the limb must
come off in order to save his life,
and it was accordingly amputated
on that day. The whole people
sympathize deeply with Governor
Hampton in his severe affliction,
and from hundreds of firesides and
closets go up daily prayers to
Heaven that his life may be spared
and that he may soon be restored
to health.
On the same day that his leg was
amputated he was elected by the
General Assembly United States
Senator, every member of the Sen
ate and every member of the House
but two-Simmons and Miller,
Radicals from Beaufort-voting
for him.

As the freight train, outward

road neared Ross' Station on Wed
nesday nights the engineer saw an
object lying across the track and
stopped the train to see what it was.
It proved to be a well-dressed white

had been put across the track. The
body was removed from the track,
and citizens of the station notified
of the facts.I

We alluded last week to the shoot

then in our possession. Since that

Nashville, Tenn., addressed the Con
ference in the interest of the Publish
og House, with the special view of

House owes $300,000, and the Doctor,
as the agent of the Church, is making
strong efforts to pay off this debt by
means of bonds'bearing interest at 4
per cent., running 30 years. The
plan is to get persons to subscribe
for these bonds in the sums of
50, $100, $500 or $1,000. Un less
the whole $300,000 be subscribed
and guaranteed no subscriber will
be required to take his bond. The
Doctor made a vry effective and in
teresting address, which put every one
in a good humor, and the consequence
was that bonds were taken to the
amount of $5A450. Altogether he
has raised $90,000.
In the evening the Arnual Mlission
r meeting was held. The large
church was crowded to its fullest ca
pacity, on the floor and in the gallery.
The preachers, who had been occupy
ing about one-third of the floor were

Secretary of the Missionary Board,
delivered a very fine address on the
subject of Missions. le beg:n by
s:.ying that it is the duty of the
Church to go into all the world atid
preach the gospel to every creature.
Missionary work is little appreciated
I by Christian people. It is only re
ceutly that our churches have taken
,the matter in hnd. All the churches
have taken hold of ministers and send
the!m to all parts of the world where
ever there is a trace of humanity.
Oar own church, lagging as she is,
has placed her standard in Brazil,
Mexico and China-nut w'th any
ipish desire to increase her eccl,sias
tical duminion. but to einlarge the
kingldom of Christ ou earth. What
the, church has done she has be,:n
driven to du by conscience, to save
hErself frum decay and death. The
church cau only live by success. If
'Christianity be not aggressive it dies.
No God and no Christ in a church not
M issionary. Some want to make this
work a side issue. It is the church's
first duty. Beginning with the time,
nearly 2,000 years ago, when Christ
came as a missionary to earth, the
history of the church has been send
ing forth the gospel. Starting at
Jerusalem it spread throughout Judea,
till persecution scattered the disciples
throughout other countries. He
spoke of the hard struggle in the
mind of Peter before he would con
sent to go to Cornelius, a geatile ; of
his conviction that of a truth God is
no respector of persons, then of his
relapsiug back again into his Jewish
prejudice at Antioch, and his being
rebuked by Paul "the great Apostle to
the Gentiles." The man who would
restrict the gospel, from pride or
prejudic,s, is a traitor to Jesus Christ.
The heathen is His inheritance and
the uttermost parts of the earth His
possession, and it is the duty of the
church to bring these under the do
minion of Christ. No one is true to
Jesue who does not try to put Him in
pussession of His heritage. Mi.3ion
ary work costs money-glad it dues
shall we offer to God pnltryv words
that cost nothing ?
IHe ma:de a call for contributionis.
and $479 was raised, nearly all uof it
being given by the r,reachers.

ed: luyvs. Townsend. Connolly. By
ers. Pennington, J. RI. Coburn, Fin
ger, (restored to the effective list) and
N ettles.
Rev. M. A. McKibben was placed
on the superannuated list.
IThe change in the discipline adopted
by the General Conference changing
the representation in that body was
submitted to the Conference and
unanimously adopted. This provid4es
for one clerical delegate to every 36
delegates at the Annual Conference,
instead of 1 to 28, as heretofore.
Who remain on trial ? was asked.
J. S. Meynardie (discontinued on ac
count of bad health), J. WV. Tarbour:,
Porter, Pate-all unmarried. The
announcement of which fact led the
Bishop to congratulate the Conference.
Hie said there is too much haste among
young preachers to marry. MIany
young preachers have their bright
prospects clouded by early, imprudent
ad unworthy marriages-marrying be
fore they have sense enough to select a
wife or character enough for any sen
sible woman to select him. He begged
and entreated the young preachers to
keep their ears stopped to the voice of
the siren and their hearts guarded
against her fascinations. It is inju
dicious to take married men into the
Conference, unless they be of good
promise ; but th Conference sh.ould
be governed by no rule except as to
efficiency.
Speaking of local preachers, he said
that one who is of only moderate abil
ity and comfortably fixed on a farm or
in other business had better stay
where he is.
Dr. A. W. Wilson, Missionary Sec
retary, was introduced and spoke. He
represented the Missionary Treasury
in a very lean condition-about $16,
000 overdrawn and supplies for our
Missionaries in Brazil, Mexico and
China stopped in consequence. This
Conference gives only $3,000 to con
vert the heathen while it spends $100,
000 for the gospel at home.
Just after Dr. Wilson's speech, the
Bishop read a telegram from Columbia
announcing that Gov. Hampton was
restiLIg quietly and the physicians con
sidered the crisis passed. The dele
gates and people could not refrain
from cheering and tears of joy trickled
down many a cheek; then the Church
ragr with "Praise God from whom all
blesings flow." It was a solemn and
impressive scene and entirely spon
taneous.

pressing the importance of total absti

ton and A. R. Danner, the former in
December, 1877, the latter in October.
1878. Several of the delegates spoke
in feeling terms of these departed
brethren, and there was scarcely a
dry eye in the Conference. It was a
very solemn occasion.
At night Rev. W. A. Candler, of
Georgia, preached in the Methodist
Church.
SUNDAY, 15TI1.
By request of the congregations
ministers of the Conference preached
at the different churches. All had
good congregations. At the Metho
dist Church a very interesting and
gracious "Love Feast" was held from
9 to 10 A. M. Bishop Wightman
preached at 10j A. M. Not one
half the people who went to the church
got in, so great was the desire to hear
him. His text was John 15, XXVI:
"But when the Comforter is come,
whom I will send unto you from the
Father, even the spirit of truth which
proceedeth from the Father, he shall
testify of me." We can give only an
imperfect sketch of the sermon. These
were among the last words spoken by
the Saviour to his disciples. They are
full of instruction and comfort. The
time of their fulfillment was about ten
days after the ascension, while the
infant church was gathered in a small
upper room, when suddenly a sound
was heard and a shaft of fire descend
ed, and, disparting, rested c% the head
of each, tlen changed to tongues.
This was the baptism of the Holy
Ghost, prefiguring all modes of bap
tisnn; it was an inauguration of the
Spirit's dispensation.
The Holy Ghost is not an influence
or agency, but a positive being, pos
sessing the elements of personality,
consciousness, spontaneity and will
the same elements that man possesses,
but limitless. Tbe Holy Ghost has
intelligence; he has sensibility; feels
for our distresses and "makes inter
cessions for us with groans that can
not be uttered;" he has will also. The
greatest sin is that against the Holy
Ghost; we can't sin against an attri
bute or agency or influence. Anna
nias and Sapphira lied to the Holy
Ghost and were struck dead.
The Holy Ghost is always repre
sented in scripture as pitying min, as
the comforter. in early civilization
there was the relation of patron and
client. If the client were oppressed
he would go to his patron for protec
tioin. When the devil is after us we
should go to the comforter, whose
clients we are and we shall be safe.
The offices of the Holy Ghost are,
1st, the le:ading of the minds of the
origin al Apostles, and enlightening
an]d clarifying their minds to preserve
them from error, so that their writings
are an infallible organ of truth, need
ing no addition nor amendment; 2ndly,
to call men to the work of the minis
try. The ministry is not a professioin;
man takes it up at the moving of the
Holy Spirit, and woe to him who takes
it up for a living or to gain respecta
bility. When he calls a man he quali
fies him; he takes the things of God
and shows them unto him-qualifies
him not only in feeling bnt thought
also; 3rdly, to carry forward the great
work of salvation in the soul. Bibles,
churches and preaching are all of no
avail without the Holy Spirit. The
reason the world has such power over
some professing Christians is that the
Holy Spirit has never performed its
operation on their hearts. To the un
tutored mind the starry firmament is
chaos and disorder; but cultivate that
mind and it sees a stupendous frame
of order. What science does for the
mind the Holy Spirit will do for the
soul.
After the sermon the following
ministers were ordained by the Bishop
to Elders' orders; F. L. Hlartin, J. L.
Stokes, W. W. Williams, M. M. Fer
guson, A. WV. Jackson, J. WV. Wol
ling, J. J. Neville, W. H. Ariail, J.
C. Counts, S. D). Vaughn, J. H. Tur
ner.
In the afternoon the Methodist
Church was again crowded to its ut
most capacity, the occasion being the
>rganization of a woman's local mis
sionary society. The meeting was
>pened with an appropriate prayer by
Dr. E. J. Meynardie, and the object,
plan and working of the society ex
plained by Dr. A. WV. Wilson. After
ihich the names of a large number
)f ladies were enrolled, subject to the

A spirited debate arose on the
manner of preachers' making up their
reports and their publication in the
minutes. The Conference at the ses
sion of 1877 passed a resolution re
quiring the preachers to make sepa
rate financial and statistical reports.
A motion was made to discontinue
this and go back to the old way on

In the afternoon the Women's Confer

IN THE VARIOUS CHURCHES.
During the week and on Sunday the ap
pAntments gave general satisfaction and
drew crowded audiences. We summarize
briefly by saying that the Revs. A. Coke
Smith and H. F. Chrietzberg addressed the
Y. M. C. A., in the Baptist Church Thurs
day night in effective and eloquent style.
Besides the services already mentioned in
the general minutes, masterly sermons were
delivered in the Baptist Church by J. T.
Wightman, morning, and W. A. Candler,
evening ; in the Lutheran Church, by Prof.
W. WV. Duncan, morning, and J. B.' Camp
bell, evening ; in the Associate Reformed
Uhurch, Wum. Martin, morning, and WV. A.
Rogers, evening; in the Presbyterian
Church, W. C. Power, morning. The col
ored churches were served as follows: A.
Mf. E. Church, J. Attaway, morning, S.
Leard, afternoon, J. B. Massebeau, even
ing ; Baptist Church, R. L. Duffie, morn
ing, WV. Pegues, af ternoon ; Presbyterian,
R. N. Wells, morning, A. G. Gantt, after
noon, G. WV. Gatlin, evening.
The weather during the most part of
Conference was delightfully favorable, and
admitted pleasantly of uninterrupted loco
motion among the brethren who visited
each other and their hosts to their heart's
content. On Sunday the scene changed,
t.he winds blew, rain fell and the streets
soon got to be muddy, but everybody's
spirits wvas up, and "never mniad the weath
er" was the prevailing sentiment, for the
churches were crowded, and visitors kept
on the move. Altogether the 93d Confer
ence has been a season of refreshing to
preachers and people, and will long be re
umembered amnang tihe pleasures of life.
FOE THE HERALD,
Monumental Association.
Mess EDiTRS : Many thanks
are due the Newberry Thespians for
their performance in behalf 'of the
Monumental Association. They rea
lized a little sum, and but for a
mfisunuX5. .ding as to the night it
would have been much larger. Those
.interested in the completion of the
monument should be under lasting
obligations to the talented Thespians
for lending their time and talents to
this noble work. All received full
value for their money, at the same
time contributing to the monumental
fi.nd. The Association and the mon
ument had almost been forgotten, and
now since the Thespians have so kind
ly and tiniely come to the rescue let
others go and do likewise. Theo As
sociation has nowv over five hundred
dIollars in cash, with several hundred
ou subscription list that with a little
exertion could be collected. But sev
enty-five or one hundred dollars more,
with the cash on hand, will be suff
cient to purchase theshaft and have the
names of all the dead of the County
cut upon it. Will not the ladies of~
Newberry once more come to the front
and lend their aid to the finishing
touch to the Newberry monument.
The amount can be raised in the town
alone in one day. As a suitable com
mittee to call all the ladies interested
together at an early day, to devise
means of raising the small balan.e
required, we would take the liberty of
sugges'.ing the names of Mrs. James
M. Baxter, Mrs. Y. J. Pope, Mrs.
John C. Wilson, Mrs 0. L. Schum
pert and Mrs. N. B. .Mazyck. The
wanagers of the Thespian Hall have
kindly tendered their hall to the ladies
for any purposes they require,
