Thejwriter ie unable to give tbe date of Mr. Garrison's entrance into the South Carolina Conference. He itinera ted in thiB State when itinerants were few. Hie cireuit extended from the mountains to tbe coast. It took six weeks to make the round of his ap pointments. He was a man of remarkable endow ments. Extensive education in tb i o'1 backwoods country at that time was impossible, but with his Bible and Josephus, whom he could quote with facility, he ripened himselt into con siderable attainments. As be rode in his two-wheeled chair he studied, de veloping his mind into something re markable. I beard him one day, with out pencil or slate, reduce his age to hours. Providence Church, then and now a Conference appointment, and situated near tbe jonction of the Seneca und Tugaloo rivers, where they form the Snvannub, was one of his preaching places. Near that church his borne was looated. His little cottage was on tho road leading from Anderson, S. C., to Carnesville, Ga. One day the late Gov. B. F. Perry, passing .that way, happened to get into conversation with him, and was so struck with bis mind power that he tarried with him the whole day. Immediately afterwards he went to Greenville, und published concerning tbe old veteran a whole page in the Greenville Mountaineer, of which Perry was then editor. The community in which be lived waa large ly Presbyterian, who were very fond of him. He was con hid- rare of others. Tbe mornings b^tng the times! othera preached, lo peached ip the nfUrrjfrwns, lest, ne ?h 'uid interf?re with others. He was all unconscious now be could have interfered. Macy would have left their own oonrch tu have heard him. He was euperannuated before the Methodist Church made any providion for the aopport of her worn ont preach era; bot he did not Buffer for the neets series of life. His presence at a camp meeting meant a collection for the supply of his ne?ds. ' The writer, then a student at David son, but ht home on a vacation, beard his lost eermoh. The audience was a large, promiscuous one. Hie text'was "What I do thou k no weat not now. but thon shalt know hereafter." Among other things, he said: "Some filings wo do not know. Why God hould have taken Capers (wno bod ted a abort time before; not moro than ten miles from where Garrison was preaching) and Bascom, and left me, a poor, weak vessel, I cannot .under stand. By faith I know it's all right; God has some duty for me yet to per form. Perhaps it is tho preaching of this sermon . According to . the course of nature, I hoing now eighty years of age, I shall soon find that dnty and' discharge it." And straightening hSm seif up as straight ns he could have done at twenty, he qnoied: . "Thou shalt cal), and 1 shall answer thee. Thou wilt Tiave a desire to the work of tby bands " He closed the exer cises with the hymn, "O for a closer walk with God.1; It appeared to the writer much like prophecy, for Sn just a week, t > the hour, he passed away off dnty on earth forever, on duty with the phalanx of the skies. His body sleeps in an unmarked grave, bat his spirit has doubtless taken ita place among those "ot whom the world was not. wort hy ."-He v.

Tim railroad commission had a long cunfeieuco luday with Brook? Morgan, assistant general superintendent ot the Southern liai I way, and H. A. \Vil liunie, superintendent of the Savannah dividion, in reference to the schedules of the passenger traine between Co lumbia and the up-country. The com mission ?IBO beoii deluged with com plaints for aevernl mouths. A petition was read from citizens of Hones Path, Bolton, Willianistou and Pelzer, asking for an additional train to leave Greenville in tho early morn ing and to leave Columbia tale in the afternoon. The railroad ofuVinls stat ed emphatically that tho traille would not warrant another train at present, and this was not considered. After considerable diecuB-ion this tentativo agreement was readied: Tho j schedule of tho train now leaving Greenville at 0:30 a. m., will bo chang- i cd GO HH to leave Greenville about 7 a, m., arriving at Columbia about noon, leaving Columbia about 1:30 p. m., and arriving at Greenville about U:40. The i schedule of trains IQ and 10 to remain aH an present. Tho schedule of tho "merry go round" train between An derson and Greenville will be slightly chanced HO HA to insure regular con nections with No. 3>< at Greenville for 'ho North with mail and passen gers. Mr. Morgan and .Supt. Williams both said tiny would leconiuiend ibis chango to the general management of the Southern, and they have no doubt that tiio chango will bo inado. Tho recommendation will not bo made, though, until tho people of tho up country have had time to consider it, but tho railroad ollicials aud tho com mission think this is the best thing that can be done nt present to servo the greatest number of people. Supt. Williams said hu could promise no improvement in making Schedules of passenger trains between Columbia and the upcountry for the next few weeks, on account of the unprecedent edly large movement of fertilizers, but said that aa soon aa the rash is over he will use efforts to bring about an im provement. Additional Bide tracks will be put in on the C. & G. road, and improvements made on tbe road bed, he said during the coming summer and this will help greatly.-Columbia Record, 10th inst. Auderson in Abbeville. Representative Hall, of Anderson County, was in town for a day or two last week, and we had the pleasure of meeting him. On the snbject of the recent nbiso of the taxpayers his head is so level on top that quick silver wouldn't run oil of it. He takes no sort of stock in the demagogical howl that so lately broke out in this State against the tax payers. The appeal for prejudice of the non-taxpayers against ibo taxpayer can be understood or interpreted according to each man's notions. Our own notion is that it was based on a show to catch votes or else on a disposition to attend to other people's bunin ess, The veriest ideal in the State of South Carolina ia obliged to know noder whatever assessment the property holdere must pay the fiddler. . Those who pay no taxes are not par ticularly interested, and as far aa we are informed, they have taken no stock in the abu ?io of taxpayers. Mr. Hall thinks if two men own land of equal value, and one of them im proves his farm, while the other allows hie farm to go to waste, that the best farmer should bu punished by an extra assessment over and above that of his improvident neighbor. And he is right. The Legislature did right in sotting down hard on the would-be persecution of good and thrifty citi zens. To raise the taxes of the thrifty is to place a jponalty on thrift and to offer a reward for triflingnesa.-Abbe ville Press and Banner. ^peting of Denver Union.
