Moise, a man whose life was beautiful to look upon, a life rich with noble im pulses, and noble deeds. Gen eral Moise was a strong factor in the redemption of South Caroli na from the heel of the oppres sor; it was he who was greatly depended upon by the great Captain, General Wade Hampton -Moise was his right arm. Those of us who can recall the trying days, well remember his heroic efforts, the magnificent oratory, his unselfish devotion to the cause, and his many sac rifices, we remember his gener ous hand, and his wonderful pa - triotic and wise counsel. It was he, who with soul stirring eloqu ence converted thousauds of the better element of negroes to the cause of good government, and ad ded strength to many white men who doubte 'success of the move=ent; it was he who plead -ed-f6r peace, and it was he who would have peace, even if it had to be secured with cannon. Gen eral Moise loved his State, and showed his faith by his works, that a proper appreciation of the man was never shown, is a re proach to the people of this State, but notwithstanding the fact that he was forgotten, he never murmured but went right along with an unselfish devotion, and modesty; had General Moise claimed his just rewards for ser vices rendered, he, no doubt would have obtained official rec ognition like many others who took part in the grand redemp tion. Many of these made their services a stock-in-trade for pol itical advancement, not so with him who freely gave his ser vices and his fortune to the cause. When General Moise breathed his last, there was extinguished a most brilliant light; one which illumined many a dark chamber, a light the sick and the poor had learned to look upon with hope, a light that brought cheer and comfort to the distressed, a light that always shone and was a guide to the aspirations of the young, faith to the old and a stimulent to greater attainments The earnest fervor of his man ner, the clear, logical simplicity of his. speech, and his benevolert heart, made his character trans parent with love, generosity and patriotism. General Moise lived a life which cannot, nor should it, fade from memory, everywhere there is something to remind of his works; in war, a gallant soldier, in peace a useful and noble citi-, zen, in every walk of life he made an everlasting impression, not only in the city where the greater part of his life was spent but all over the State there is much to point out the works of this man. It was our sacred privilege to attend the funeral, df this soldier, statesman, and patriot, and it is now our priv-i-1 lege to lay upon his tomb this feeble but earnest tribute. sin cerely feeling, we are not only voicing our own, but the feelings of our entire community, which knew and lave this great and good man. FAREWELL.1 At the Methodist church in 1 'this place last Sunday morning, there was a large congregation, made up of all denominations to1 hear the farewell sermon of the pastor, who left here this morn ing for Abbeville, his new field of labor. Mr. Wells leaves here with the sincere good wishes of this entire community, and the feeling manner of his deliverance was indicative of his realization] of the esteem in which he is held. The service opened with a beautiful voluntary rendered by Mrs. S. R. Cole and Mr. J. L. Wells, and at the conclusion of the sermon Mr. Wells addressed1 himself to the congregation in most eloquent and touching re-] marks relative to his stay among< this people. The following is a1 summary of his sermon: Brethren, it is my purpose to- 1 day to present to you, as my I closing message, a subject that 1 is of the utmost importance to usI all, one which is a prerequisitei to all spiritual conquest. Mv remarks will be based upon ( Numbers XI 29: "Would God 1 that all the Lord's people were prophets, and that the Lord 1 would put His Spirit upon them."< Notice the occasion on which I these words were spoken. God had instructed Moses to bring I 70 chosen Elders to the Taber- t nacle, promising to put His Spir- 1 it upon them that they might assist Moses in his duties as 1 Leader of Israel. At the ap-< came to the Tabernacle, while two of them, Eldad and Medad, remained in the camp. The Spirit descended upon them as upon the GS who came to the ] Tabernacle. When the matter i was reported to Moses, he ex- 1 claimed "Would God that all the 1 Lord's people were prophets." I Prediction was only a small i part of the work of the prophet. I The word prophet means "to boil over," "to be boiled over." The fire or power beneath is the power of the Holy Spirit. The prophets were the mouth-pieces, the Ambassors, of God, preach ers of righteousness: they were ] men boiled over by the fire of the Holy Spirit. Elijah was truly performing the < work of the prophet when he I said to Ahab, "ye have forsaken the Commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim. Nathan was a true prophet when he said to David, "Thou are the man." John the Baptist was I true to his office when he re- i buked "Herod," though it cost I him his life. These men were 1 boiled over by the Spirit. They t hesitated not to declare the will of God to the King on his throne, i and to the humble peasant. The prophet of old is the same as the preacher of today. The priest was the medium of access to God, and his office ended with the finished work of Christ, our t great High-Priest. Not so with c the prophet, the messenger of I God. His place and office are filled by the gospel minister of today. The true preacher, or r prophet, of today is he who in rebuking sin, and warning the transgressor, is liberally boiled over by the Holy Spirit. Bold and faithful is he who is a true prophet of the Lord: He is boil ed over" by the Spirit of God. Only he can be faithful who is under the power of the Spirit. Only he can speak with power, and convincingly, who is thus influenced by the Holy Spirit. Logic and eloquence are not enough. Truth is mighty, but of itself it will never reach the heart. Paul recognized this and wrote, "my speech and my e preaching were not with enticing ' words of man's wisdom, but with demonstration of the Spirit and of power. The greatest blessing that you can ask for your pastor t is for the Spirit to rest upon s him. Moses, in our text, recognized the presence and power of the Spirit, and exclaimed, "Would s God that all the Lord's people were prophets, and that the Lordib would put His Spirit upon them." t At this time, however, the Spir it was given in limited measure, and to a chosen few. But this a blessing, which Moses wished e for the children of Israel, is in a high and truly sense the privi- 3? lege today of the humblest child s of God. At Pentecost, the birth- t day of the Christian church, all the Lord's people were prophets, for He poured out His Spirit b upon them, and they spake as the Spirit gave them utterance- a The great thought with Christ r when He ascended, was, not that i few chosen ones, but that the a ntire ministry and church be ndued with power, that each of Ris children be a witness in the world. He provided for this by s he pouring out of His Spirit. doses wished for this: Joel ~ rophesied of its coming: Christ roised it; and at Pentecost a :he promise was fulfilled, and I :he church began her triumph t march, clothed with a pow r which the gates of hades F ~ould not prevail against. Christ's for HIs children, and herefore for His church, is that ;he be a witness in the world: tm Ld this is the reason why the ~hurch exists. A church which s not a gospel church. This witnessing necessitates he presence of the Spirit, who s the life-power of the Christian eligion. Recognition of His >ower. and reliance upon Hisq ielp, must underlie all Christian :onqest. Beautiful churches nd elaborate forms of worship r'e not enough. Church ma ~hinery is only the means rough which power -accom lishes results. The great thing s spiritual power, without hich there can be no spiritual onquests. This power means hat the church can give birth to ier own spiritual ministry and E nembership: it means an ever- a leepening concern for- the salva :ion of souls: it means ability to 'each out and save the lost. f Oh! for an outpouring of the spirit upon the church! The conditions of this out. P ouring of the Spirit are, entire i ~onsecration and earnest prayer s: mn the part of the church. "If re then being evil know how to t( give good gifts unto your chil Iren, how much more shall your c rather give the Holy Spirit to, hem that ask Him." May God tt >our His Spirit upon us. t Brethren, today closes up our abors together, and the time has :ome when we must say "g-od >ye." It seems only yesterday hat the Conference sent me to erve you, so rapidly has the b ime flown; and yet it has been p 'our long yeai-s that we have oiled together. The Lord has n >een wonder'fully good to us dur- w~ ng this time, and we can truly in that "There's a wideness in . Jod's mercy like the wideness of 1S he sea." 0: Of course these years have not >een all sunshine. There have " :ome some cloudy days iu ourr ives. Some of us have known hat the bed of sickness is: we ave known what it was to stand, hro' the silent night watches, by: he couch on which reclined the[ ick loved-one; into some of our omes the angel of death has ome, taking away precious 'or greater manifestations of the spirit of God. And yet, altogether they have >een blessed years. Our joys aave been more than our sor cows: our smiles more than our :ears: our days of sunshine more than the days of shadow; and God's presence with us every moment. The same God who as led you in the past will be our guide in the years to come. To me personally, they have een years never to be forgotten. shall not forget you, you have ;tood by me in sunshine and in shadow, you have upheld iy .iands by your prayer and sym pathy and love. Wherever my lot may be cast luring the coming years, my aeart shall ever beat with a ,varmth of affection for you. I ?ray heaven's blessings upon )acl of you. May we all so live that here ifter we may meet in that better and where the tear of sorrow is 1ever shed, and the sad "good >ye" is never spoken. May God 1elp us all to be faithful unto he end-Amen. At the conclusion of the ser icc the congregation sang "God 3e With You Till We Meet gain." Catarrh Cannot be Cured ith LOCAL APPLICAIONS. as they cannot each the seat of the disease.

A woman stood at. the bar of justi< and by her side two stalwart policemt Her name was called and she answerE Then the judge asked the clerk to re the charge against her. "Disorderly conduct on the str< and disturbing the peace," read t clerk. " Who are witnesses against the v man?" asked the judge: and the ti policemen stepped forward to be swo "Now tell the story," said the judc and one of them began: "I arrested the woman in front ol saloon on Broadway on Saturday nigl She had raised a great disturbance,wv fighting and brawling with the men the saloon, and the saloon keeper p her out. She used the foulest languac and with an awful threat struck at t keeper with all her force. I then - rested her and took her to the detE tion house and locked her up." "The next witness will take t stand," said the judge, and the oth policeman stepped up. " I saw the arrest. and I know it be just as stated. I saw the wom; fighting as the saloon keeper put h on the street. I heard the vile la guage she used in the presence of t crowd that gathered in the street." "Call the saloon keeper. What do you know of this case?" " I know dis vomans vas makin' d turbance by my saloon. She com there und she makes trobles und s1 fights mit me, und I puts her the do oud. I know her all along. She v pad vomnans." Turning to the trembling woman, t! judge said, "This is a pretty clear cas madam: have you anything to say your own defense?" "Yes, judge," she answered in strangely calm, though tremblit voic. "I'am not guilty of the charge, ai those men standing before you ha perjured their souls to prevent me fro telling the truth. It was they and n I who violated the law. I was in tl saloon last Saturday night, but I'll t( you how it happened." "My husband did not come hon from work that evening and I fear( he had gone to the saloon. I knew ' must have drawn his week's wages, ai we needed it so badly. I put the litt ones to bed, and then waited all aloi through the weary hourstintil after tl city clock struck 12. Then I thoug] the saloons will be closed and he w' be put out on the street. Probably I will not be able to get home, and t1 police will arrest him and lock nim u I must go and find him and bring hi home. I wrapped a shawl around n and started out, leaving the little on asleep in bed; and, judge, IJiave n seen them since."_ Here the tears came to the woman eyes, and she almost broke down, b restraining herself she went on: "I went to the saloon where I thougl most likely he would be. It was abol 20 minutes after 12, but the saloon, th; man's saloon"'-poiuting to the saloo keeper, who seemed to want to crou< :>ut of her sight--"it was still ope and my husband and these two polic men," pointing to those who had lately sworn against her, were standir at the bar with their lips still wet wil :rink, and the flecks of foam not y settled in the empty glasses befoi them. "I stepped up to my husband at asked him to go with me, but the mn laughed at him, and the saloon-keepi :rdered me out. I said, 'No, I wai my husband to go with me.' Then tried to tell him how badly we needs the money he was spending, and aga! the keeper cursed me and ordered n to leave. Then I confess I could star cno more, and I said, you ought to 1 prosecuted for violating the midnigl losing law.' "At this the saloon keeper and p iceman rushed upon me and put n ut into the street, and one of the p icemen, grasping my arm like a vic issed in my ear, 'I'll get you a ays' sentence in the workhouse, at hen see what you'think about suiei people.' He called a patrol wagoi ushed me in, and drove to the hous f detention, and judge, you know tl :est. All day yesterday I was locki .lp, my children at home alone, iti no fire, no food, no mother." It was well that the story was fil shed, for a great sob choked her u erance and she could say no more.
