Referred to Serion of Dr. Daniel Discussed Iffairs in Newberry. Of Much Local Interest. Taking as his subject, "The Chief Citizens: What They Can do to Make or Mar Their City," the Rev. Edward Fulenwider, pastor of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, preached a sermon here on Sunday in which threughout. there was no effort to mince words. and in which he referred incidentally to the sermon of Presid ing Elder J. Walter Daniel in Lexing ton recently, in which sermon Dr. Daniel is reported by the newspapers as saying that Columbia was th2 worst city in the United States south of Philadelphia. The Rev. Mr. Ful enwider did not call Dr. Daniel's name in this connection, but his reference was plain. He said that he would not say that Newberry was the best or the worst city in the South, that he had the authority of a brother minis ter for the assertion that Columbia was the' worst Southern city, but that there were matters which ought to re ceive the serious attention of the "chief citizens," and he referred to a number of local matters. Among his local references was one to the effect that Newberry had a black eye abroad on account of "skin games" in financial transactions. Hi- subject was based on the gospel selection of the church for the day, his text being Luke 19:47: "And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him." Jerusalem was ruined by her "chief people," he 'said, and many of our cities today were suffering great evils brought on by their "chief citiz ens." I He began his sermon with a brief history of conditions in Jerusalem at the time referred to by the text, say ing that at the time of the entrance of Jesus the masses were with him, but they were led away under the in fluence of the chief citizens, and final ly assisted in his crucifixion. His dis course was under three heads: 1. Who were the chief citizens? 2. What did they do? 3. What could they have. done? As among the chief citizens he plac ed. the educators, those who had the' training of the future citizens; with all humility, ,he said, the ministers were among this class, because they were the spiritual leaders; the phy sicans, who came possibly into closer personal relations with those whom they served than any other profes sion; the lawyers, under whose care was the administration of justice; the mayor and aldermen and policemen of a city, those wifo had the city official ly in charge and the conservators of the peace; the merchants,'" bankers, manufacturers, editors, Sunday school superintendents and teachers, and the! mothers and fathers of the commun ity. Coming down to a discussion of' what the "chief citizens" of' Jerusalem did, he said they sought to put Jesus: away. They did not take advantage of their opportunities, but let their day' of grace come and go by. They had' turned the house of prayer into a den of thieves. And the masses had looked up to their leaders, the chief citizens, and . followed them. Jeru salem, he said, was not the only city ruined by its chief citizens. Our cities were in danger, he said. Some of the chief citizens of the communities may be doing things which are not for~ the: best interests of the community and' doing them unc'onsciously. Ne-wberry was a good town, he said, and he would not say one thing against her.' She was to be congratulated on her churches, schools and her college and her citizenship. He wouldn't say that. Newberry was the best town nor the worst town. Ho,wever, he said,. there may be b-lotches on Newberry"s escut t heon. It did miot speak well for a commnity when there was grumb ling an~d quarre:ling between the cit izens and the officials of its schools. They ought to go hand in hand for the upbuilding of the schools. It did not speak well for the political life of; a community when some of its best men, its "chief citizens," would not let their names be used for positions because they were afraid of being de-: feated by demagogues. He said another matter to whiech he wanted to call attention was that Newberry had a black eye abroad be ,cause of the skin game practiced by some in matters of finance. He said' he did not intend to be personal, and' he didn't want his remarks construed. as personal. He said that Newberry had reached. a crisis in her history, and It was n question whether the town would go; backward or forward. If the citizens' There had been some talk of what the census would show, but unless there: was the proper kind of work for the advancement of the city the census in coming years would show a de crease. There must be confidence in ourt chief citizens, he said. He believed I that any ten men in a community could get together and run out any minister who would speak the truth. I But no man had a right to be a minis ter who would sell himself for a suit of. no man had a right to be a minister would would sell himself for a suit of .1 clothes. No man had a right to be a I public officer if he was an ungodly man. What right had a man to be a physician if he was not a Christian?. Or what right had a man to be a law yer if he was not a follower of the law as laid down in the scriptures? Or a merchant, or a man in any other vocation in life? He knew men who wouldn't come to church and never I give anything for the support of the! church. He did not think that such could rightly expect the confidence and patronage of the people, and as I far as he was concerned, he had just 1 about come to the conclusion that they should not have his. Along this line he spoke of the duty : of the chief citizens to be Christia.,s and of the wonderful influence for; good in the community- which they* would exercise if they were Chris tians and of the incalculable harm which they would do if they were not. A Big "Big Meeting." The negroes had a big "big meet ing" at Elisha church, -near Dead Fall, on Sunday. There are five main roads leading to the church from va rious sectiops of this and Saluda counties, and Col. J. Fred Schumpert, who lives on one of these roads, counted the teams passing his home, as a matter of curiosity. He counted 55 buggies, 12 wagons, 6 carriages, 16 riding horseback, and 32 walking.!' This, of .course, is a very small pro portion of those who attended. In addition to those who traveled the other four roads. there were two coaches full on the early morning Southern train, and two coaches full on the afternoon train. Col. Schumpert was at Silver Street yesterday and was informed that 950 negroes passed through that place go ing to the meeting. 255 tickets were~ sold at Silver Street on Sunday night.
