RECOLLECTIONS OF SMYRNA.
Correspondent Tells of Things That
Occurred In the Long Ago.
Editor Yorkvllle Enquirer.
Just sixty years ago. a middle aged
man. (41 years old) with a little bareloot
boy. six years old, riding behind
him, rode up and hitched his mule
where the graveyard now is at Smyrna.
Only a few graves were there then,
and some of them were enclosed in a
pole-pen, made of black-jack pine and
chestnut. A few tombstones stood
about here and there in the bushes on
the grounds. The present stone wall
was built around the graveyard between
the years 184a and 1853. Some
of these stones were hauled a considerable
distance?many of them from!
Mr. Thomas M. Whiteside's place, from
what was known as the "Pike field"?
(many of them known then, as well as
now, by the name "nigger heads."*)
The church building was a plain,
weather-boarded one, not ceiled. The
pulpit was a fashionable one for that
J * ?.UL n
uay, uem^ ucittguiiiiiiji Miapcu, nun a
door in the side. In front of it was
what was called the "clerk's stand"?
made with two upright planks with one
across the top. This was for the leaders
of the music to stand behind.
While everything was plain and simple
in its structure it was reasonably
comfortable at that day.
Rev. Robert Armstrong Ross was the
pastor and Franklin Oates and William
Crawford the singing clerks. The
worshippers generally carried their
Psalm books (Rouse's version) and not
a few of them took their Bibles. We
will here say, parenthetically, that at
that day and time it seemed that those
old time people went to church to worship
Almighty God in the right spirit,
and not mere sham and a "big time" as
is the case now with many, we fear.
Dr. Ross had only been in the ministry
four or five years. He was a little.
weakly looking man, but he had
the voice o? a lion and it was not an
uncommon thing for him to preach an
hour and a half?never less- than one
hour. From spring till fall presbytery,
two sermons a day was the custom.
The interval being taken up in catechising
the children of the church
members and others too, who might
wish to take part.
This catechising was conducted by
the minister, or one of the elders, and
the child who didn't know the catechism
adapted to its age. reflected on
Its home training:. Besides tms. many
of the children memorized the Psalms
(Rouse's version). This took the place
of our modern Sabbath school, only It
was much more thorough In its work
of teaching than many of them are
now. Dr. (then Rev.) Ross was a native
of Cabarrus county. North Carolina.
When he was first called to the
pastorate of Smyrna In 1843. he boarded
with Mr. Joslah Henry, two or three
miles above Hickory Grove on the
Queen's or Rutherford road. One Sabbath
morning on his way to Smyrna
to preach, as he passed the "Briar
patch" muster ground, he found quite
a large crowd of people?men. women
and children there assembled. He
didn't know what to make of such a
gathering, and made some Inquiry
about It. He was told they had met
for a game of "Shinny." which was
about as popular at that day as baseball
is now.
The crowd was made up principally
from "Blue Water." "The Nation" and
the "Coaling Ground." generally as
rough a set as could be mixed up. He
took occasion, however, to remonstrate
with them to desist as It was "The
Lord's Day?The Holy Sabbath"?and
that such was sin in His sight, and
asked them to go to church with him.
They had (as was customary) some liquor
in the crowd and some of the men
were prettv full of It. He made his plea
for the Sabbath and the church.
He had a more respectful and atten
tlve hearing than could nave Deen expected
of such a crowd and at such a
time. However, the game of "Shinny"
was called off and several of them
went to church with him. This broke
up the plav and put an end to it. This
was in 1844.
In 1856 a new church building was
erected?much larger than the old one.
It was 60x40 feet with a gallery for the
slaves. In April of 1857, presbytery
met there and four young nreachers:
Robert Lathan. Grier. J. C. Bovd
and Monroe Oates preached their trial
sermons.
In 1871 or '72. this building was
burned and the one which has lust
(riven wav to the nresent new building
wa? erected, making the four sacred
buildines on the grounds within the

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.
? Spartanburg. July 15: The motion
for bail for W. T. Jones of Santue. who
is in jail at Union on the charge of
having poisoned his wife, Mrs. Marion
4U. Tit tar ? n-Vli/tV,
jones, un me iiigiik. vi uui.t ?/,
was to have been made before Judge
Hydrick here today, was not gone into
further than the reading of affidavits
by counsel for both sides. In these it
developed that the counsel for the
state presented an affidavit that Jones*
attorneys had not been served with
and were not prepared to answer and
Judge Townsend of the prisoner's
counsel expressed a desire to postpone
the argument of the motion until they
returned to Union and were able to secure
affidavits which would answer
those presented by the commonwealth.
It may be ten days before the matter
comes up again before Judge Hydrick.
The affidavits presented by the counsel
for the state were in the main a
repetition of the testimony brought
out at the inquest, but, in addition,
there were others as sensational as
Ho evidence before the coroner. Law
yers appearing in the case were: Judge
D. A. Townsend and James Monroe
for Jones, and Messrs. P. D. Barron.
J. A. Sawyer and Solicitor Sease for
fthe state.
? Columbia. June 15: Attorney
John T. Duncan, of the Columbia bar.
formerly candidate for Cnlted States
senator and at one time chief clerk in
the secretary of state's office, was before
the supreme court today to make
return on a rule to show cause why he
should not be disbarred for issuing
spurious affidavits in the case of a
negro convicted in the lower court of
shooting a magistrate who had gone to
arrest the negro, and why he should
not be attached for contempt in the
presence of the supreme court toward
Solicitors Benet and Timmerman and
others. The trial is attracting much
attention. Mr. Duncan being prominently
connected throughout the state.
On account of kinship. Judge Gary's
place on the supreme bench is being
taken by Circuit Judge Memminger.
Mr. Duncan is the son-in-law of exSecretary
of State D. H. Tompkins, of
Edgefield. The case is expected to
have a sensational outcome. From
the indications members of the court
have given so far it seems likely that
the trial will go against Mr. Duncan.
The testimony of one witness today
Indicated that Mr. Duncan may be
charged with being accessory before
the fact of the shooting of the magistrate.
and the understanding is that
another witness who has been summoned
will give testimony tending to
*n.?w thnt Mr. Duncan incited the
negro to do the shooting- Although
under bond, the negro escaped and is
now at large.
? Columbia. July 14: Insurance
Commissioner McMaster has revoked
the license of the Piedmont Mutual
Fire Insurance company of Spartanburg.
In a letter of some length to
the president of the company, he gave
in detail his reasons for such action.
Concisely put. they are: That the
company is mutual in name only, that
it is managed and controlled practically
by Mr. A. M. Alexander, the president.
who is under no bond and whose
actions are under the supervision and
control of neither the directors nor the
policyholders. That the directors have
never had a meeting since its organization.
so far as the records show.
That the books of the company are
wholly inadequate and unbusiness like;
that he finds that Mr. A. M. Alexander.
according to his own statement, in
order to protect the funds of the company
from attachment by judgment
creditors, has deposited the funds of
the company in his own name, which
the commissioner thinks is unwise and
unwarranted. That regardless of the
fact that the company is licensed to do
business in the counties of Spartanburg
and I'nion only, it has renewed
policies outside of those counties, or
revived old policies in amounts different
from the original, in violation of
law. The commissioner has serious
doubts as to the solvency of the company
and from the manner of books
that have been kept, he does not believe
that the solvency can be deter
mined without a complete reorgani
zation. Because of the general irregU'
larities, the commissioner does not fee
that the policyholders are given prop
er protection, and he revokes the license.
? Columbia State. 11th: H. Rudolpl
Uabens, the notorious Charlestor
"fence" for the gangs of safeblower:
who operated in South Carolina frorr
1901 to 1905, donned the regulatlor
stripes at the state penitentiary yes
terday afternoon and began the service
of a three-year sentence imposec
upon him more than a year ago bj
Judge Ernest Gary on an indictment
charging him with receiving stoler
goods, a part of the $6,838.81 taker
from the wrecked safe of the Courtenay
Manufacturing company at Newry
Oconee county, on the night of December
14, 1903. Rabens was brought
to Columbia from Walhalla by L. M
Pressley, of the penitentiary guard
reaching here on the 3.40 train yesterday
afternoon. He was driven to the
pen immediately upon the arrival ol
the train, where he was photographed,
and a thorough description made oi
him for the future use of the state and
United States authorities. After having
his hair clipped, given a shave and
bath and a brand new suit of stripes,
he was registered as "So. 17.753" and
consigned to a cell. For the first time,
possibly, since his connection with
the noted McKlnley-Nolan gangs of
? --li.i-uotorHnv r?>nli'/
sai rui?#v\ n nuuj j vt??.v
ed that he was not beyond the power
of the law. He appeared broken In
spirit on entering the big steel gates of
the prison, and his gray eyes sought
the floor except infrequently when
they would shoot a quick, nervous
glance at some one of the officials
standing around. His long legal fight
had been made in vain and.he turned
to face the three long years of imprisonment
with a shrug of the shoulders
and an unmistakable feeling of
utter hopelessness. He had come, at
last, to face what he dreamed that his
ill-gotten gain would alone prevent.
His panama was laid away and the
regulation cap took its place: his allleather
suit case was sent down to the
commissary to await his departure
three years hence: his bank book was
pigeon-holed, and the generous amount
of loose coin and currency which he had
in his pockets was placed to his credit
in the office, and the wonted blind tiger.
near-yegg and erstwhile King
street crook. No. 17753, is today nothing
more, nothing less, than a convict,
entering upon a sentence which will
doubtless prove a lesson to those of
wealth and influence who imagine that
they may violate the laws of the land
with impunity. There has been such
a swift succession of unexpected plays
in the Rabens case within the past
week that this man has been all but
overwhelmed with surprise. The plans
of himself and his astute counsel came
to naught in the game that opened at
Walhalla Monday when he surrendered
himself and announced that he was
ready to begin sentence. Contrary to
the expectations of Solicitor Boggs, Inspector
Gregory and others interested
in the case. Rabens was sent to the
Oconee county poor farm, where there
are absolutely no facilities for safeguarding
a prisoner of Rabens' type.
The people of Oconee county did not
want Rabens to work out his sentence
there: they wanted him sent to the
state penitentiary. Rabens turned
over to Supervisor McAlister $5,000 in
cash, to be kept in the county treasury
as a guarantee of his orderly conduct
and safety. It was announced that
Rabens had been examined by a physician
and declared to be unable to do
any manual labor. In short, it appeared
that his punishment was to be
nothing but a farce: that he was to
live in ease at the county's expense.

trover Cleveland's
jfe Insurance.
Grover Cleveland carried only $7,500
,ife Insurance. When he was mayor
f Buffalo, N. Y? in 1876, he took out
5,000 in the Mutual Benefit and $2,500 1
a another company. He had neglected J
he matter up to that time. Later he
arnestly desired to largely increase
he amount, but on account of having '
rown to be very much over-weight no
eputable company wou'd grant him
a- 1 1
lore. Newspaper reports say uc iau
litle or no estate for his widow and
rphans. You are probably in a phys- I
?al condition that will enable you to t
ecure insurance today, but you may 1
ot be next week or year. That has i
een the experience of some people you t
now. Your procrastination may re- t
ult in your family or creditors losing i
,-hat you owe them. The Mutual Benfit
protects families and pays mort- f
ages. How? Ask me.
