THE EPWORTH ORPHANAGE.
A Most Noble Work?A Visit There and
What the Visitors Saw.
Editors Intelligencer: ?Last
week, after a space of almost a year,
we made a second visit to the Epworth
Orphanage, which is, as was stated in
a previous letter, located about' a mile
east of Columbia, near Cramer's Ferry
road. From the Orphanage buildings,
on account of the high elevation of
the place, one can see far into Lexing
ton, and, perhaps, into Orangeburg
Counties. In front of the three main
buildings there is a beautiful grove of
hickory, cedar and oak. The yards
are level and are covered with sand
and grass?no red mud to soil the
clothes of the fifty odd neat little or
phan children who are so well cared
for and who are so well contented in
their new home.
During the week days the children
are taught the rudiments of an educa
tion by two excellent and experienced
teachers?Mrs. Julia P. Price, of
Orangeburg County, and Miss Eleanor
Thompson, of Suinter County, and
regularly attend Sunday School.
Mrs. E. J. Black, of Vaughnsvillc,
has charge of the dining room, sewing
department. Mrs. F. H. Spivcy, of
Williamsburg County, is the matron
Por the hoys, and Miss Lizzie (lasque.
)f Marion County, is 'matron for the
rjrls. Miss Sunie Anderson, of Ab
seville County, has charge of the culi
lary department.
Since our last visit fche well con
structed and commodious barn has
)een burned, together with provender,
;ools and stock, and rebuilt. The
Plumer system of water works has
>een placed and carries water to the
hree main buildings, the superintend
nt's residence, the boys' home, the
;irls' home, which is a twelve-room
irick building recently completed.
Vater is also conveyed to the two
tory laundry building, which is a
reat blessing to the children, as it
onsiderably lessens their labors.
Mr. W. 0. Animons, of Marion
?ounty, who has done so much faith
? work in his line for the orphanage,
employed as carpenter, and Mr. W.
'. Walker, of Camden, an experienced
rintcr, is employed in the printing
epartment. where the Epworth Or
banage lircorrf is printed monthly,
asides the job work that comes in
om all parts of'the country.
Mr. James Simpson, of Chester, has
mrge of the farm work.
An orchard and a vineyard, which
ill. from time to time, be enlarged,
is already been commenced.
Ample arrangements are being made

There are no idlers about the Ep

uerally, Avhen they arc not in

Tlir- Centennial "at tlic Old Stone
Church.
The annual meeting of the ''Old
Stone Church Association." formed
for the fpurposc of fencing' -and im
proving the cemetery grounds at the
Old Stone Church, met at that place
on Saturday last. The weather was
delightful and the attendance very
large. Quite a number of; persons
present were unable to gain admission
to the church for want of room.
Dr. J. B. Adger, bowed downowith
age and infirmity, was .present ; so,
also, Tvere Dr. W. B. Cherry?and Mr
W. W. Knight, both of whom! .were
more than eighty years of age. Col.
J. Adger Smythe, of Charleston, came
over from his summer home, near
Pendleton. with Dr. Boggs.
Dr. 0. M. Doyle. President of the
Association, called the meeting to
order. Prayer was made by Bcv.
P. Keid, of Pendleton. The President
introduced the orator of the day. Rev
W. E. Boggs. D. D., Chancellor of the
University of G eorgia, most'fittingly
recounting his services - as Chaplain
luring the war, especially his devotion
to the sick and wounded at Frazier's
[''arm, one of the great battles fought
'around" Richmond in 18(32; and also
lis faithful services during his pasto
rate at Memphis, Tenn., when the
rellow fever prevailed at thatjplace
?orne years ago.
We may be pardoned for adding,
bat Dr. Boggs has always -been re
;arded as a South, Carolinian. He
ras, however, born abroad during the
aissionary services of his fatter. Rev.
ireo. W. Boggs. Dr. Boggs has
teadily ascended the ladder of fame,
nd now occupies one df the most im
portant positions in our sister State,
rhere he maintains himself most suc- ^
essfully as a teacher and as the chief ^
lecutive officer of one of the finest
istitutions in th? South.
The subject discussed by the distin
uished speaker was the^relation of s
le science of geology, geography, &c, 1
) the Bible. The-theme, as treated,
as interesting and a revelation to
lany. . The address was lengthy aud
c could not do it justice in a casual
otice like this. A copy was asked
?r publication and we hope to have
io pleasure of reading it $t our lcis
:e ere long.
A collection was taken up for the
Tthcrance of the objects of the
- .. i is
ssoeiution.
The Association took a recess for 1
ic hour. This time was pleasantly
ent iu enjoying the pie nie side of
e entertainment.
The meeting reassembled in the
lurch.
The present officers of the'Associa
in were re-elected.
A committee of three, including the
esident of the Association, was ap
inted to inaugurate a scheme for
icing the cemetery and improving
2 grounds.
Since the meeting was held Mrs.
arren Davis, a relative of the Reese
nily. has received a liberal contri
tion from Judge Reese, of ^Vashing

Black Diamond Railroad Notes.
We clip the following paragraphs
from the Dover (Ky.) News of the 7th
inst :
President Kirhy and (?eneral Man
ager Boonc will be in Dover to-day
(Thursday.)
Three surveying corps are now at
work laying out the Black Diamond
Railway System through Kentucky,
Ohio and Indiana.
All the corporations comprising the
main line of the Black Diamond will
end with "Tidewater" and all branch
lines will end with "South Atlantic."
Gen. Williams at the next meeting
of the several Black Diamond Boards
of Directors will be named by Col.
Boone as General Counsel. The ap
pointment will be confirmed because
whatever "Col.. Boone suggests goes
through with a whirl. ''
The Engineers on the Springfield,
Ohio River and South Atlantic Rail
way (Vincennes, Ind., to the Ohio
River at or near Jeflersonville, Ind.)
starts into - work at A'incennes. Ind.,
on 3Ionday, Oct. 11. Col.-Boone will
be present at the driving of the first
stake.
The'Ohio River will be bridged at
Dover and Yevay, Ind., by the Black
Diamond System of Railways. Con
gress will be asked early in December
to pass the necessary resolutions
permitting their construction. Gen.
Williams will take charge of getting
the authorization and to do so will
take up his residence after December
1st in Washington, D. C.
The main line of the Black Dia
mond across the State of Kentucky
will be chartered as The Ohio River,
uynthiana and Tidewater Railway
Company. The corps of engineers
)rganized at Dover, Ky., has been
)rdered to run the main-line between
Dynthiana and the Ohio River. It
