At bethel Presbyterian ch -ch to-day there is gathored a largo asso ?blago to celobrato tho anniversary ot *ho ono hundredth year of tho oxiBtouct of this organization, in whoso church foi fbreo sjonoratiotis tho Word has boon proa* <od And praises sung to Almighty Go ? within whoso sacrod precincts young mon havo lcd young maidens to tho sa cred altar; at whoso ohancol has stood thc faithful minister of tho Gospel and christened tho infants, and paronts havo consecrated them to thc sorvice of God; from whoso doors havo boon tenderly carried tho biers of young, middle-aged and old to tho last resting place neath tho shado of tho spreading oaks to await thc tlnal call at thc resurrection. Glorious Bethel-glorious past, prcsont and future! What living memories of tho past uro to-day being rovivod in tho lives of those who have livod to witness tho coromonios of to-day! How sad, and ?yot withal how pleasant, to look back over tho past, rocall those who liavo passed over the i i ver and now rest beneath tho sod, almost within tho shadow of tho little church near tho foot of tho ovorlaating hills, whore in lifo it was their dolight and their custom to as semble and worship tho God of all crea tion, in tho simplicity and purity of faith that is not fourni in tho larger churches, where formality, tho dividing lino of wealth and poverty and social caste havo entered and marred the true spirit of worship. Tho little church has stood at bethel all theso yeats as a tabernacle to tho Living God, and while thcro is no pretense or outward show, on entering within the sacred walls ono ex pel ?enees that restful feeling found no where save in the house of (rod that has stood for years untainted hy tho world, directing hy its holy atmosphere its mem bers and tho passet by to higher and bet ter tilings. The gathering to-day bi inga together in a peculiarly close relation former pas tors and former members to minglo onco more with those who still worship regu larly at tho little church situated in tho place sn dear to all who have lived in or near tho Bethel community. Ties of friendship and love are being renewed -ind a fellowship revived that wilt linger with each participant until thc ties of tliis life are severed. How sadly missed uro those who have gone before, who, though dead, speak moro eloquently than the living-whoso passing from lifo to death has tended to diaw the living to a closer walk with Cod and a better understanding of life here and give a brighter hope fm tho lifo hereafter. I Around old Bethel cling memories that ORD but bear good fruit to-day, and iu the future as in the past this church will stand to guide tho traveler along tho narrow road that leads to life everlasting. We honor bethel! Long may she stand and continue steadfast, to her trust, rep resenting the best that is in this lifo and pointing the way to tho life eternal. Wo welcome ber visitors alike to Bethel and Walhalla, and may this reunion he both pleasant and profitable to every ono who attends.

The Conditions in Pickens. The Kasloy Progross says onditorially : A great many falso reports aro hoing circulated about candidates in Pickons county ince the removal of tho state gin mill from Pickons, hardly one of which h.i\c ttie semblance of truth in thom. All that is necessary is to read the articles carefully in order to seo tho cloven foot of tho spirit which actuates the cor rot pondon ts. Traced to the foun tain head, they aro invariably found to bo the produotion of smno ono who either got or expects to get a sharo in the filthy lucre to bo derived from tho dispensary, lt is a fact that cannot be gainsay od, that tho town of Kasloy, which contains three times tho number of peoplo of any Other in tho county, was never freor from the liquor ovil than at prcsout.

It is also a fact that there aro no registered distilleries in oporation in Pickons at prosont. They were nil closod by tho State Dispensary somo time ago. 11 is stated hy those who aro in a posi tion to know that the reason thoy wore closed was because the State Dispensary could not purobase tho liquor mado hy them, preferring to got it whero a hot ter thing could be made out of tho pur , chusos.
