Redmond - A Pathetic Incident that Spoke Volume;. Seneca, S. C., March 17.-Next Sab bath being the fourth Sabbath there will be the usuul services in the Baptist chinch. Kev. K. M. Kirkpatiok and J. W. Todd left this morning for Newberry, where they will attend the spring meeting of the South Carolina Presbytery, which con VOUCH there this evening. Dr. li. C.

The remains were accompanied by several friends from New York and Greenville, among the latter being Rev. E. P. Davin, pastor of the Second Presby terian church of Greenville. Dr. Davis waa well and popularly known here and there aro still, notwithstanding the lapse of many years, many friends who regret bis untimely death. Lord Mayor Austin ia having some aplendid work done on our streets now, io wbiob the road scraper baa been used to great advantage, giving a neat and at tractive finish to the principle streets and opening up aeveral aide streets. It is understood that among other features which will characterize the administra of the new council will be strict sanitary and Sunday laws. It is needless to say that this is* wonderfully gratifying to,our beat citizens, nUT we have not heard of any ordinauoe regarding the disgusting and dangerous habit of spitting upon our sidewalks. The ooquoil has however passed an ordinance requiring the mer chants to sweep in front of their stores on Saturday night, whioh step is moat appreciably noted by our ohurob-going people on Sabbath morning.: A ohange has been made in ?he depot here whioh will be of interest to the publie in that William Neill has been ap {iointed freight agent, while H. J. Qignil iat will remain passenger and express agent. The heavy increase in business here has created a dmeand for the plaoe in which Mr. Neill ia plaoed and whioh, on account of his effioienoy, will prove moat satisfactory to the business people here. It goes without saying that the veteran railroad mau, Mr. Gignilliat, will continue to oooduot the affairs of the passenger depot in the same acceptable business-line manner wbiob has always characterized his management of the heavy duties arising from many years of faithful servioo at the Soueoa depot. Easter services were held in the Epis copal church here last Sabbath evening. Beautiful andoffootivo out and pot plants were used in decorations and a full con gregation was in attendance. Tue quiet, utmost obscure death of Lowie R. Ked mo i id, which oocurred near Seneca last week, was a striking dose to a life that had for many years benn given ?iver to reckless outlawry, for at one timo j tho name of "Redmond the outlaw," was a familiar one in South Carolina. After Ins pardon, however, probably t wen ty-live years ago, having beon sen tenced to life imprisonment at A Ibauy Penitentiary, he settled into a sober, quiet life and has since been a changed man. We remember an incident con nected with the mau and bia home life, whioh was one of the most pathetio wo ever witnossod, convincing us that there was a big, warm, tender heart beneath the rough exterior of Redmond's char acter. Some years ago we were at the Southern depot hero and Redmond was also there with his family, among them the little unfortunate deaf mute, a daughter. She was there to bo taken by the mother to Cedar Springs, our insti tute for the deaf, dumb and blind. Al though a child of probably ten years or older perhaps, the father held her closely embraced in bia arms and during the long wait for the train the tears never ooased in their flow down his rugged cheeks, gently fondling her, constantly smoothing her hair or patting ber check or arranging her hat, t -tally oblivious to the crowd of curious faces about him. At lust when ibo deep tones of the en gine announced the late train's arrival, tho distress and grief of the broken hearted erstwhile outlaw was indescriba ble and wo turned aside, leaving him with his grief, but with a sense of apprecia tion of tho rough diamond that no other circumstance could have induced. We knew thenceforth that Lewis Redmond was not as "black as he had been painted." A beautiful home wedding occurred near Seneca last Wednesday, the 11th instant, when Miss Nannie Nimmons waa married to L. .1. Smith, of Easley, the marriage ocourring at the home of the bride's parents. The marriage took place at high noon amid a conoourso of friends and relatives, after whioh an elaborate breakfast was servod. The parlor, hall and dining room were placed at the pleasure of the guests, all being softly lighted and decorated with a pro fusion of ferns and spring Howers, whioh grow so luxuriantly and beautifully in this section of our oountry. The brie'e was attractive in full bridal attire and the beautiful, yet simple, marriage service of the Presbyterian church was Used by Rev. Mr. Mathewson, of Toccoa, Ga. Congratulations and boat wishes are heartily extended the young couple as they begin the journey of wedded life under BUuh auspicious circumstances. Miss Maud Hopkins will leave on Fri day for a visit to Anderson, whoro sho will attend the marriage of her friend, Miss Mittie Tabbie. Prof. David Henry, of Clemson College, spent last Sunday here. Miss Margie Holland, who ls teaching at the mod el school house at Bear Swamp, spent last Sabbat, with her home folks here. Dr. and Mrs. MoCutohen and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hopkins are entertaining in teresting little strangers at their homes here. Miss Helen Hopkins is visiting Miss Lois Gignilliat this week. 1 Mrs. C. Gignilliat, of Marietta, Ga., is paying ber usual ?pring visit to ber i ?In ti von here. We cordially welcome this saintly mother and friend to our town, congratulating her heartily upon making? thia another tune stone along th? road o*< life, possessing still the mental and spir it md vigor that have always been ner peculiar characteristics.

Work Ol Six Churches. Editors Courier: As pasfpr, I have no disposition to brag or blow, but I am en couragud in the work of these churohc s aud interested in the work of the other ohurobes in the oounty. And I do hope that the day is not far distant wheu all the ohurobes in the oouuty will be thor oughly alive to the work of saving the lost at home and abroad, and trust that what I say of the following ohurches may inspire aud beget greater interest in them as well as otheis. Thoao referred to have all done well, but oould have done more, savo one-Madison. Lot on ward and upward be tho watchword. On the first Sunday in April tho now ohurch at Madison was dedicated, clear of debt, at a erst of $1,200. This ohurch is numerically weak, aud financially so, too, with the except ion of one man, who gavo about $400 of the $1,200.. The other thirty-six members gave $000 with the help of friends who live in the commu nity, tho old church being valued at $200, making a total of $1,200. During last month this ohurch gave $10 for mis sions and paid $15 on pastor's salary. If any ohuroh, oomposed of thirty-soven members, and as financially weak, oau show a better record, let it speak out. Mrs. Stribliug also organized a woman'? missionary society here recently, of which great things are expected. A year ago it could hardly havo seemed possible that tho above could havo boon dono. No ono thinks that tboy did too much. Not what we oan do, but what is it that we cannot do if we only try? Having failed to call on tho treasurer, I don't know what Bethel gave to mis sions last month, but will venture to say that she did her part. The others gave tho following amounts last month for missions: South Union, $25; Madison, $10; Return, $0.31; Rock Hill, $7; Old Westminster, $2. All of the above churches, except Old Westminster, have a woman's mission ary sooiety, and she will have one soou. The woman's missionary society at South Union has been at work just one year, and has raised, during that time, $70. You may expect to bear still greater things from this society, for it is (?omposed ot great women. South Union is contemplating beautifying their house of worship at a cost of $125. Bethel is the second io tho woman's missionary sooiety lint, although they may yet lead, as the ohuroh gavo, during one month, about $20 for missions. Large and attontive congregations at tend here. Kook Hill is my baby vuur?uj holli nu merically and financially, yet the wo man's missionary society gave $5 of the $7 above named, and it has boen at work but one month. I have been thinking of organizing the men into a sooioty, as tho women are leading in gifts to missions. If the men were organized as the women are they would double their present gifts. Or ganized work is TUB work. Old Westminster's membership is badly scattered-almost from New York to New Orleans. There are but fow within reach of the ohurch-faithful few. Return has iuoroased the pastor's sal ary. This church bas tho largest attend ance on Saturday. Bothel the largest on Sunday. These churches have expressed their kind appreciation by sending theil* pastor to the Southern Baptist Conven tion at Chattanooga. Such kindness on the part of any people binds a pastor all the closer to his peoplo. Happy is the man whoso lot it is to servo these good people. i*. Chamberlain's Salve.
