WM AMONG THIS MINISTERS. Young M?>r? Now in Charge of Local Cimrch A lin i i's. We clip the following from the lust Issue of "The Advance," a. rellg lus publication In tho Interest of the Anderson District ol the Methodist Conference: "The Townvillo Circuit hus seven churches-Zion, Dickson Memorial, Asbury, New Hope, Friendship, Smith Chapel and Jones's Chapel. Kev. J. E. Carter ls the pastor. Uro. Carter ls one of our most faithful preachers and is giving good proof ot* his min istry. "Walhalla Mission is served by Kev. R, lt. Doyle. There are six churches In this work- Double Springs, Daniel Springs, Zion, Whlt inire, Fairview and Newry. Uro. Doyle was formerly a printer by trade, but the call of Cod was stronger than tin? world's gold, and Uro. Doyle is faithfully giving to his people the treasure that neither moth nor rust can corrupt nor thieves break through and steal. " Westnilsster Circuit 1ms four churches-Kock Springs. Center, Hopewell and Nazareth. Kev. .1. L?. Singleton is the pastel. Uro. Single ton is an exception to the saying that "a prophet is not without honor save in Iiis own country." He is serving the (barge on which he lias lived all his life. The members of the (barge at the last session ol' the annual conference demanded thal he return, and the petition for that re in rn was as long as your arm and longer. Watch Westminster. "Williamston Circuit bas -for ?ts pastor one whom it ?s unnecessary to introduce to the Anderson District. Kev. Coke l>. Mann is known and loved all over the district. No more loyal Methodist preacher ever lived and fought for th?' cause In our State. When Uro. Mann gets through with a charge every one knows what the Methodist Church stands for and what her doctrines are. Ile will light a buzz saw il' the devil is in it. and don't think thal you can run over him, for you can't. "The last, but by no means the least, is Walhalla and Seneca, with Kev. A. IO. Driggers as pastor. Uro. Driggers conies to us from the Green ville District, where he lias just fin ished four years' service ;<t tho Hampton Avenue church in the city of Greenville. He is a young man of pleasing appearance, eloquent in speech, persuasive in manner, and yet he is lacking in one thing. Ile is the only preacher in the district who is not married! For eight years he has withstood the charms of the Greenville District's maidens, but we hereby predict and prophesy that he is doomed to yield to the greater charms of one of Anderson Dist rici's lovely girls. Watch for the an nouncement ! " The Churches of Walhalla. The mention made in Ihe above article to the ministers of this dis trict calls to our mind the fact that Walhalla is peculiarly blessed with strong, active and able young minis ters. The Held hore is wholly in the hands of young ministers, not one of whom, (hazarding a guess and leaving to cadi the benefit of an over estimate of at least three years,) has reached the age of thirty-five. The Walhalla Baptist church now has as Its pastor Kev. J. I\. Hair, wh ) but two Sundays ago took charge of the work here. ll,, is active and energetic, and Hie Baptists have great hope that he will prove of marked benefit to the denomination, which is one of the largest in Oco nee. Rev. Mr. Hair is unmarried. St. John's Episcopal church is for tunate in having as rector Kev. L. IO. Hill ard, of Clemson College, a young minister of great endowments and of marked personal magnetism. He is bul recently from the Episcopal Sem inary, and about a month ago was happily married, bringing to aid him ill his pastoral work a most estimable young lady from New York, though she is a native Southerner. St. John's Hut beran church, though the oldest of the churches of Walhalla, ls also in charge of a young minister, Kev. T. B. Eptlng, who ls doing a great work among the Du therailS, having added many names to the church register and organized all the various branches into active, working bodies. Mr. lOpting lias marked ability both as pastor and theologian, and St. John's to-day is enjoying a period of prosperity, spir itually and temporally, far greater than for many years past. Rev. and Mrs. Eptlng enjoy the good fellow ship of the membership of St. John's at the parsonage near the church. Rev. A. IO. Driggers. of the Metho dist church, has but recently become identified with the church work here, having succeeded Rev, J. C. Yongne, who served as pastor for three years, and than whom there was probably no more universally beloved man ever served this church. Kev. Drig gers ls forceful, logical, brief three qualities that mark him as an able successor to one who set a high standard for him to attain -and In addition he is also fond of pastoral work. The Presbyterian pulpit Is ably tilled by Rev. Ceo. M. Wilcox, who caine to Walhalla from the Seminary. He is doing an excellent work at all Hiree of his charges Walhalla. Rich land and Bethel. He ls another min ister who realizes the importance of personal and pastoral work as a nec essary adjunct to the success of min istorlal labor:-., and not only his own congregation, but those of other churches, find him a real pastor. Both Revs. Driggers and Wilcox are unmarried. We neither predict nor intimate anything for the Im mediate or near future, but draw at tention to the last words of The Ad vancer-" Watch for the announce ment!" This is a fine lot of young minis ters, and we congratulate ourselves and tho people of Walhalla on having them among us. They are live men. and they are infusing new life imo Ihe church work of the town. Bul. with no disparagement to them, or to . any ono of them, head and shoulders Above them all stands the venerable patriarch-tho veritable father of church work in the community-Dr. Jo' n G. Law. For half a century he has watched over tho Hock (and with him all denominations are embraced .illiin the broad meaning of that word) with the tender care and so licitude of a good shepherd. He ls never Idle, but every ready and watchful for the opportunity to help and advise the younger men who are now the husbandmen in the vine yard in which lie spent years plant ing and watering and pruning. Many years of active work have taken from the venerable Doctor some of tho elasticity of step, and the winds and snows of these long / Mrs that he lias : wethered have whitened his locks- j ye? withal tho ravage of time has j been kindly, for lt has but added, one ! by one, the silver threads that have i gradually and gracefully woven themselves Into a crown of honor.

When tills tube is inflamed you have a rum bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it ls entirely (dosed, deafness is the result, and unless the Inflamma tion can he taken out and this tube estored to Its normal condition, hear ing will be destroyed forever.

Last of the Controversy Between j Representative and Senator. Editor Courier: I see that Repre- ! sentatlve M.mn has even forestalled I his doom and made reidy befe ri? the ! publication of my article. I do no; j complain a*, that; all I ask is fall treatment at any ones hands. My mother taught me never to essai) a fool ar a cripple; hence this would render him forever Immune, saving only the Inherent right of self-de fense. He has. in what he calls his last, kept up the same line ns Is his record heretofore. But for that I should not have a word to say. He says, "as he has announced." Now Representative Mann knew that was untrue, as I had not a word, or a line, announcing anything. The men. tion by the editor of the crowded condition of the paper and the rea sons for my article not appearing afforded no ground for such an un truth, much less something to an swer. In quitting he has not failed to operate Iiis little squirt gun and con tinue on the same mean, low, wicked and obscene plane that he began upon. There are some things that 1 preter to walk around, at least for the comfort of' others who do not enjoy an unpleasant odor, neither do I go hunting for a thing which has HO value, not even a hide. No one ls more averse to a mix-up with sucha dirty. Bl thy thing. If I make a mis take I mn willing to acknowledge it and set matters right, and am will ing to discuss any matters of pro priety with others. Representative Mann has not attempted thal proof thal sounded so big, but runs to other matters where he is as far from the mark of truthfulness as ever. 1 am truly glad that he nor his ilk htive the privilege of sitting in judgment on the honesty of my motives or tili? truthfulness of what I say. Time lias vindicated my course as to the dispensary. The last system has sold more than any that we have had. I have never taken sides against Mrs. Tillman. Jr., but In this he ls only keeping up lils record. The Supreme Court In Its decision has again followed the law that 1. willi others, claimed that they would. Now, it is hardly necessary to say, as lt is apparent to all, that the contro versy in the courts was taken ad vantage of by thc political enemle* of Senator Tillman to parade liiis matter in the newspapers. This ease only turned upon questions of fact, just as any oilier case would. There would have been little or nothing said about R had it not been for Ibo same spirit of opposition to Tillman that has cropped out till the time. Representative Mann may be grow ing in grace, but if his words are to be taken as indicative of his heart he could not seo the throne with the most powerful telescope known. Well, he Introduced a bill to raise the salaries of certain county o f ti - cers, and after it had passed the : House, the oilier Representative I came to nie and said that he would not stand for it. 1 told him thal I was opposed lo the measure, but In ! these matters we are usually govern ! ed by the majority of the delegation, and if he agreed with me I would kill the bill, and did so. Mr. Mann did complain, and I told him just what I had told the other. A short Hine after the bill had been laid upon the table the other Representative came back to me and stated that on account of Mr. Mann's attitude he would agree to let the bill pass. I mentioned this bill to Major Strip ling, hut I never heard that he was I there in the Interest of this or any j other measure until the campaign two years ago. I am sure there was I no graft in it for me, and If I had lan intimation that there was for any I one else the bill would never have j passed. This is the first that I ever heard of what he calls straight talk, and do not know what he means. Had the majority of the delegation not agreed upon ibis 1)111 I would not have restored it to the calendar, for I thought then, as I do now, that that amount could be more profitably used on the roads. Yes, Mr. Mann wanted the money paid back to Earle School District that had been paid as taxes to the high school. Tile other districts did not want this done. There had been contracts made upon the basis of this money and there would be no sur plus. Mr. Sullivan and I agreed Hitit we could not. under the circum stances, refund to this district. The district had voted for the high school and the contracts had been made that would consume all of the funds. Mr, Mann might have taken up his time with other matters and used chaste! language. He might have ex plained the necessity for a bill pro viding for the payment of three thou sand dollars for copying records, etc., which the Clerk of the Court ls now having done for fifteen hundred dol lars. Ho might have shown what be came of his bill to repeal the high school law. etc. I am perfectly willing to answer to the people of Oeonee for my stew ardship, for I am only their servant i- matters of government, trying to '.o their will. When 1 nm not In accord with the will of the people I shall surrender my commission. itc doro I close permit me to show, from the records of three sessions, some evidence of work. For the ?three sessions of 1007. 1008. 1000, Representative Mann ls accredited with proposing nine measures. Dur ing the same throe sessions I have proposed thirty-six measures. These i matters would make Interesting reading, bul prolong this article to too great a length. Again, I most sincerely appologlze to the public for having lo say what I have, and had lt not been a matter of repelling malicious and unwar ranted assaults, I would not have done so for anything.
