? rVOL XXIV. iifilul i After Long: Illness He Has ' Clone to His Reward. CONSECRATEYMAN OF 600. A Beautiful Life, Which Exemplified the Christian Graces is Ended by Death, and as a Token of the Res pec ^ of the Community, Business was Sus pended During the Burial. \ Last Sunday afternoon, July 17th 1910, at the hour of 2 o'clock, the Kev. Goo, W. Gatlin, peacefully passed away froqa this Barth, at the family resideoQC on Elm Street For several years he sulfered from the effects of an old wound received in the Confederate Army, He was ' able to bo up and about and to at- j tend divine services, until a few months ago, when he became so ill. he could not leave his home. He was in the 70th year of his age and J had behind him a long life of strcn- ( uous and unremitting toil in the , Master's vineyard. His sufferings .were great, but were borne with 4 Christian fortitude, and without a i murmur or complaint. Hi3 life was , well spent and good, and he died as | he had lived. His widow, and two < sons, William S. and Arthur, and ] one daughter, Miss Susan E. Gatlin , survive him. He was born on October 30th, , 1810, in Randolph County, N. C., and was the son ot John and Susan | Gatlin. His primary training was " ? * r r ; .. _ ! followed oy a term 01 lour yours ai ] Gold Hill Academy, under the man- { agement of Prof, John Graham. , After this he attended the same school under Rev. C. A. Pliler of ( the North Carolina Conference, j And after this he 9pent a year at j Cool Springs academy. He was t converted on August 12th, 1854, and at the age of sixteen he was appointed as class leader in the church at Gold Hill. He felt the divine call to preach and was licensed in 1865 by the quarterly conference of Tryou Street Church, Charlotte, N. C. During 1865 he served as a junior preacher and in 1867 went to school. He taught school in 1868 During the years of 1869 and 1870 ho served as supply on York circuit, aud in December 1870 he was received into the conference. He labored in the cause on various circuits in this Siate, aud wound up his work as a preacher of the divine Gospel on theBrittons Neck circuit in 1905. He was superanuated iu December 1905, and moved to Conway where he has since resided. The above is a short statement of the main facts in his religious work. He was among the first to enlist in the civil war, in Company E of the 3rd Regiment, North Carolina Vol-'v unteers He was in the cavalry under Col. Robinson who was work- 1 in<r under Stuart and then Ramp ton. While the army was marching i for the battle of Gettysburg, he was | severely wounded, and four days , tberealter he was captured by the | Federal soldiers. He won the con- , /iTdence of his cantors, and by them { he was paroled upon nothing but < * his word that he would not engage in fighting until after he should be exchanged in the regular course. This fact will give an idea of the magnetism of his great character. He is survived by bis wife to whom i he was married on December 5th. . 1871. Mr. Gatlin had lived at Conway ? only a few years, but during that | time ho had won the love of every- | body. The funeral took place on , last Monday, religious services being i conducted at the Methodict church i A by Rev. G. E. Edwards, assisted by , ^ffev.O. N. Rountree and Rev. A. S Doak. He was a member of Conway Lodge Ancient Free Masons, and the interment took place with Masonic Honors, , ?

On last Friday evening 0110 of a aeries of enter amraeuts devi>ed by the ladies of Can way Mehodist Church for the benelit of the new church building, took place, under the name of a trip around tho world The attendance was not what ii might have been owing to the thunder and rain storm which came up A I \ A m A it A % in me late arternoon, renuering toe streets in a wet condition, and creating the impression in the minds of many who were going that the entertainment would be postponed on account of the storm. The starttng point on the trip was known as "New York", at the Methodist church. The first stop along the way was "Boston", the handsome residence of Dr. E Norton, and here the travellers were served with Boston baked beans and Graham bread, Then there was a long stage over to the Methodist parsonage. This station was "Japan" presided over by Mrs. G. E. Edwards and her charming little daughters. The train sropped next at the beautiful residence of Mrs. F. G. Burroughs at Snow Hill, "Holland". Here several of Conway's most charming young ladies waited 3n the passengers with dainty refreshments. The next station was "Bohemia", Mr. and Mrs. A. E Wait. Here were the tents, and also the Gypsies, charming in their 30stumes of rod. The grounds had been carefully prepared, but all this was spoiled by the rains. From aere the travellers wore taken to "Cuba", the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. T. Hyman. The decorations here were beautiful and in everyway in seeping with tho southern place which it represented. The last itop was at the residence of Mr. ind Mrs. P, A. Burroughs, "Washngton" with its beautiful lawns, [ce cream and other delicacies were jerved here to the weary passengers iround the world. Quite a neat sum was realized and this will be added to the fund which s being raised for the purpose of buying the carpets for the floor of the new church. ?

The people in and around this place are busily engaged talking politics. Crops in this section are not quite as good as last year. The tobaccc growers have already made a start housing and marketing their tobacco. The cotton crop in our section will not be very great this year, the #-ii t i ^ immense raunaii nas ueeu very mjurious to it. The writer has just returned home from Conway, where he attended the summer school for teachers. The school was a grand success from start to finish, being wisely conducted by Prof R C. Hunter and Miss McLean They are both efficient teachers and know their duty. The teachers who faild to attend are the only ones who missed anything, Those who attended will begic teaching this year with a determination to do more than ever before, because they will be better qualified. I have been a worker in the teaching profession for a number of years and have taught in both North and South Carolina and will say that 1 am proud that I can be numbered with the teachers of Horry county. The people throughout this county are working up to the cause of education. The wonderful improvements that have been made within the past few years show this to be a fact. And I will venture to say that the teachers who fail to avail themselves of the opportunities of attending the summer school oi their county are failing to grasp many new ideas that would be very valuable to them, and are thus robbing themselves of untold knowledge Best wishes for the Herald and its many readers.
