W. & J. E AT THE OLD 8T0NE CHURCH. An Interesting Sketch from the Pen of Col. J. A. Hoyt. [Greenville Mountaineer, October 14th.] In tho last few years tho old Stone Church,, near Pendleton, has been written about a great deal in com parison with the decades of neglect and inattention through which it passed, when it was unnoticed, un honored and unknown save by the residents of the immediate vicinity or those who had in former days been connected with it in some way. Clustering around this old edifice there is much of historic interest, and in tho cemetery near by Ho tho remains of men distinguished in tho early history of upper South Caro lina, while scores and hundreds of others arc sleeping their last sleep in this bivouac of thc dead. Within the last decade an effort bas been made to rescue the church building from decay and put the cemetery in good order, which has boon accom plished under many difficulties, and tho house is now in a fair condition, while the cemetery is inclosed by a stone wall at a cost of more than $500, mainly collected from the de scendants of those who are buried there or whose families wore once worshippers in that house. Old Stone Church was built in 1797, but the religious organization antedates thc building of the present house by a number of years, when the congregation met in a log house Bomo distance from the present site. A church and cemetery association has charge of tho property at this time, and its annual meeting was held on Saturday, October 10th, at which an address was made by tho writer. Mr. John J.

The first pastor of this church was! Thomas Reose, D. D., a native of Pennsylvania, and a man of superior j gifts. His parents moved to Meck lenburg county, N. C., when he was quite young.

Dr. Reese was the first person buried in the cemetery, and his grave is marked by a tablet of stone. His descendants moved to Georgia, and one of them was eminent in tho law, Judge II. D. Reese, of Washington, Ga. Printer John Miller, the fouuder of the Pendleton Messenger, whioh was the first newspaper printed in this section of tho State, is entitled to a place in the picture whenever the Stone church is under considera tion, for it was ho that donated tho sixteen acres of land now belonging to the association. Ho was a native of England, and as a printer was em ployed in the office of Henry S. Woodfall, the publisher of tho Lon don Public Advertiser, in which newspaper were printed the letters of "Junina," tho signature of a po litical writer whose identity was rover established, and which created tho widest sensation of any anony mous publication that was ever made. These letters were published between April ?0,17G9, and January 19,1773, and contained the choicest and most effective specimens of invective to be found in literature, which was directed at the British ministry ?nd the leading public men connected with it. These attacks soon gained thc attention of the government, and as the author could not bo traced, Woodfall was prosecuted in conse quence of Junius's letter to the king. The authorship of Junius was the greatest secret of the age, and every effort of the government was made in vain to discover the writer.

Another notable personage in this old cemetery is Gen. Andrew Piok ens, who was born in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, September 18, 1789, and died at Tamassee, now Oconee county, August 17,1817. His family came to South Carolina in his boy hood, and when 22 years old he served as a volunteer in an expedi tion against the Cherokees. At the outbreak of the Revolution he was a militia oaptain and rose to tho rank of brigadier general, and ho was with Marion and Sumter at the head of a partisan corps after the British had overruu tho State. In Febru ary, 1779, he defeated a band of 700 loyalists at Kettle oreek, and was at the battle Stono tho same year. He commanded the militia at Cowpens, January 17, 1781, and for his con duot on that ocoaaion Congress voted bira a sword. He took the British forts at Augusta, Qa., after a sie? of two weekB and he led a brigade of militia at the battle of Eutaw Springs. After the war ended he was elected to tho L?gislature, and also Berved in tho convention that adopted the constitution of the State. In 1794 he was chosen a member of $100 REWARD $100.

Por a long time there bas been a tradition that the pine polos used in lowering the body into the ground were driven at the head and foot, from whioh they grew into trees, whioh was an impossibility, of oourso, but many superstitious peo ple accepted the story without ques tion. Not many years before his death Maj. Andrew F. Lewis, who Jived within a milo of the ohureh, told a gentleman who is now in Greenville, that he planted two twigs of young pines there to mark the spot where Bynum was buried, and which grow aud Nourished into great trees that ivere out down a few years ago. Maj. Lewis doubtless agreed with Bynum in politics, and the burial taking plaoe so near his home it was quite natural for him to give some attention to the grave. The reason for tho burial at Stone ohuroh was that heavy rains had fallen and the streams could not be orossed so as to reach Greenville in a reasonable timo. Spent More Than $1,000. W. W.

There is too much nepotism shown in seleoting teachers and trustees in the Oooneo sohools. Tabor is working for the first honor flag this fall. The flag prizes will be given out Deoember the first. There is a tendency to plaoe too much poor fiction in our school libra ries by tho committees in the sohools.

Until Ooonee's rural sohools adopt this plan our schools will not pro? gross. Give us only oollege gradu ates for our rural sohools. We suggest the third Friday in November as a day for prayer and work for our rural sohools ; that the teacher? invite the parents to oome to the building on that day and see what can bo done for the children's comfort. If the trustees would do their duty, co-operate with teach c-y and pup:!?! aud make our buildings at tractive, the ohildron would gladly go to school. Tho day the teacher treats them to candy the house is filled. Let it be so, even if they oome for the candy. Children are like sponges : they absorb. We find, while working for tho Southern Board, that the trustees are compelled to buy wood to keep the ohildron warm. This should not be done. We believed we were living in a patriotic land, but this convinces us we aro not. The man who is too mean to carry a load of wood to the school house for his child's comfort, when the State is eduoating the child, is too mean to be oalled a citizen of the grand old Palmetto State.

The kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or Impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, achesandrheu m at Ism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries. lt used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy Is soon realized.
