?l)e Messenger. Knteied ai the poatoflico as 2nd-cla88 matter TUESDAY. October 36, 1886. DBSOBIPTIO* M 00 THE ELECTION. Next Tuesday, November 2d, is the day of election. No party issues have made necessary a stirring campaign. Indeed, except for the primary elections it has seemed little like campaign year. Tho Republican party has put iorth .10 ticket. In all probability thoy will not ote. Still it is not the part of wisdom to act upon this probability and remain away from the polls. It is possible for sectet work to be dono. We don't think it likely; nevertheless, don't let us be too Bure. Don't let us trust "our friends, tho enemy." They are like the nogroo's mule, Myou truss 'm, he trow you." It is well to keep up our party organizations and exhibit our party strength. Such show of unity and organization * - -t_ _ # i _ /r * may Keep aown in ine iuiure any uuori on the part of the Republio&ni* to revive their old corpse. It is all well to "Agitate* and "discuss" party measures and party actions. It does well to do this. If there be weakness or "imbecility," or "extravagance" in the State government as administered by the Democratic party, let it be discussed and talked about. If true, it will bo corrected. If false, it will meet with its proper rebuke. But let this be done within the party. It is folly to weaken our party linos in the face of the standing menace of a negro and Republican element, ready and eager to take advantago of any disruption. By all means turn out on November 2, and vote. It is not alone your privilege aed prerogative?it is your duty. Tou owe it to the nominees on the State ticket. You owe it to your Congressional nominee. You owo it to your County nominees to give them *11 from their own county a full and solid vote. DR. WOODROW. k The Synod of South Carolina, the highest Church court in the State, has Tequosted Dp. James Wooirow to resign the chair he now occupies in the Theological Seminary at Columbia. Dr. "Woodrow has refused, and they know not what to do with him. The whole affair has been unfortunate from the beginning, and has servod to almost break up me Theological Seminary. The blame, wo believe, rests upon both parties in tbo church. Dr. Woodrow has undoubtedly been persecuted, but we believe that some time ago he could have resigned his chair with honor to himself. The synods that have the Seminary in charge threaten, in case of Dr. Woodrow's continuod refusal, to do away with the chair, and in that caBe we presume they will have to give up the endowment. Altogether it is a bad jness the church has gotton into, and we do not see how they are to get out of it, without injury to either the church or J)r. Woodrow, or both. 1 1 < TUB C., Q. & A. R. E. ? I ft will bo our fault if wo do not now secure thx? above-mentioned road. Surely i $re have learned from dear experience 1 that all we have to do to let a railroad I give us the go-by is to let it alone and 1 not exert ourselves. It has come to ] this, that thoso most interested in a ' * | railroad will pay their money for it, and will get it. Charters amount to little or , nothing as regards the location of a road, for it will certainly go where the ] most money is. President Mills and , ?ho directors, we believe, are dosiroun of ( bringing their road by Abbeville, if we , will only do our part by it. Something ] wore substantial than big talk is neces- < sary, and our citizens have realized this < faotj and aro coming to tho help of the i foad in a substantial way. Let the good 1 vrork continue, and we are sjjrfe to have 1 .our road, 1 "V . 1 LOST.

( Several porsons have writton the JVe10* and Courier since the publication of , Col. Aiken's letter, which we publish to- , day, trying to locato these streams. , They must be very insignificant water , sources, and it seems ridiculous that CflngroM should be appropriating money for their improvement.

IU ?e (Ncwa and Courier.\ Cheraw, October 21.?The Synod of P" South Carolina assembled here last night it, in the Prosbyterian church. The attended ance of delegates was much larger than that on the first day of many previous Synods, a total of ninety-six having an18 swered the roll-call. Of thuae were >y ministers and 51 ciders. Among the cleri,g cal delegate* already in attendance are some of those who hnve at previous meetings of the Synod taken a prominent part r" in the evolution controversy, namely. Dr. J. L. Girardeau, I)r. J. K. Jordan, Dr. J. B. Mack, Dr. W. T. Thompson, and others. Ilia not known definitely whether 'ft Dr. Woodrow will be present during the s- session, but the prevailing opinion is a that he will appear sometime during the latter part of the week. *y Of Charleston's clerical delegation 'd Drs. Thompson and Brackett and W. F. d- Junkcn are present, tho Kov. C. E. r> Chichester is absent. The proceedings of the Synod were *? opened last night at 8 o'clock by the *y usual preliminary devotional exercises, in The church, quite a commodious bui'ding, was crowded to excess, and the music was exceptionally line. As is L'" customary, the sermon of the occasion ,(1 was preached by the retiring Moderator, ic who on this occasion is the Kev. VV. W. r8 Mill, of Camden. The discourso was on | tho text: Romans, 12th chapter, 1st verse: "I beseech you, therefore, brelhls ren, by the mercies of God, that ye id present your bodies a living sacrifice, js wholly acceptable unto God,"'&c. The lesson drawn from tho Scripture as expoundod was that the beneficent and gracious purpose of God was not thoroughly accomplished whon the sinner was first converted and turned towards salvation. There was more necessary, and more required?that the Christian should consecrate himself to God. As an argument, the sneaker said, the text was powerful in itself, but Y taken in connection with the previous f utterances of tho Apostlo Paul, was irrofutable. Tho position assumed by 30 the Rev. Mr. Mills was that the torui u mercy as used in tho text implied a re precedent exelrcise of God's power and 3. graciousness to mankind, and that it was a tho duty of the Christian to so regulate n his life as to be worthy of the Creator's loving kindness^. Ho also incidentally cotnparcd the text with other Scriptural b- passages to provo tho doctrine of preit destination. Tho Hev. Mr. Mills preqnnJnri # I. nninfr ? " " 1 IC uv<in;u w?v Jivillts III Ull 1-lkUUUIU^iY C IC f 1T jj and entertaining manner; his reasoning was logical and acute and was delivered ^ with much force and offect. 1* After the sermon the roll of the Presn bytery was called to determine the iiumy her of delegates present. As already te noted ninety-six delegates answered to <e their names. ThcModerator then announced that, his term of service having expirie c d, the tirnt business in order was the ellH ection of hitt successor. Nominations d being then in order the following gentle* ? men were named fbr the position: Dr. >e W. T. Thompson, of Charleston; Dr. J. 0 E. Jordan, of Winnsboro', and tho Rev. ^ E. M. Law, of Spartanburg. Iramedi ~ ately, howover, upon his nomination Dr. '8 Thompson arose and said that bo fully w appreciatod tlio honor which the Synod did him by entertaining his name as xi worthy of the position, lie begged leave, 7 however, to deolino the nomination for . the reason that tho selection ofaModerator had once already boon made from y tho Charleston Presbytery, to which he i- belonged. There was, howover, an equalD ly grave reason, ho said, that prompted him to earnestly request that his name D be withdrawn, and that was the probability of the necessity of bis leaving the 10 Synod before the end of its delibera5r tiona. it A motion waa then made to allow Dr. I- Thompson to withdraw his name. The it motion was put to the house and, although the viva voce voteJJ was appar* ently equally divided, tho .Moderator ld decided the vote in favor of Dtr. Thomp%t gone. The two remaining candidates, t- Dr. J. E. Jordan and the Rev. K. M. r_ Law, were then votod for, tho rosult Ie Doing: Jordan 58, and Law 88. Tho , organisation wan theh completed by the election of the Rer. R. A. Webb as aasistant clerk, tho Rot. E. M. Law rei taining his position as stated clerk. Although Dr. Jordan is and has always been a pronounced opponent of Dr. Woodrow on evolutionary matters, and tho Rev. Mr. Law has been one of his staunchest supporters, it cannot bo inferred that there is any significance in the defeat of Mr. Law. At least no great deduction can bo drawn from the history of the two preceding Synods, for at each of them the majority vote olecting the Moderator took final action which was diametrically opposed to the views of the presiding officer on matters touching Dr. Woodrow's views, and his relations to the church. There aro, however, some delegates who are of the opinion that the vote deciding the moderatorship is a fair test of the drift of the opinion of the Synod on the action of the General Attscinbly, which met last May in Augusta. That Assembly gave utterance to two propositions, one declaring the views of the church as to the manner of the formation of Adam's body, and the other to the effect that Dr. Woodrow's views of the evolution of our great progenitor are repugnant to the Scriptures. The Assembly, however, went further and recommended to the four Synods controling the board of directors. ->f the Theological Seminary, to have Dr. Woodrow removed from his professorship. Some of the Presbyteries have already expressed themselves on the right of the General Assembly to make such utterances, and most especially in vtew of the possibility that they might have prejudiced L)r. Woodrow before the Augusta Presbytery, before which he was subsequently tried, but acqilittcd, on the charge of heresy. Other Presbyteries, on the contrary, have unequivocally endorsed ?V. ? ? -I it- n 1 ? " me uuliimi ui nit; \jeiu:rai Asseuioiv. it is not improbable that the question in'volred iu the deliverance of the General Assembly will cotne up before the Synod through a committee report on which the discussion will be renewed. It is anticipnted that the arguments pro and con will be acrimonious, or, at least, disputatious. The discusion will necessarily involve the reopening of the old issues, although in a merely incidental relation. What the particular line of discussion will be or how long the arguments will continue it is just now impossible to forecast. It is equally impossible to state definitely what effect a decision reached by this Synod, as to the resolutions passed by tho General Assebly, will have on the merits of the case. M. F. T. Latch. The delegates from tho Presbyterian church of this city to the synod at Cheraw have returnod. The session was a remarkably brief one and was almost entirely devoted to the Woodrow matter. Routine business went by the board and when l)r. Woodrow's case hsd been disposed of the body hastilj adjourned on Friday afternoon. Mr. Hose said last night that the synod's action was a decisive victory for me anti-vvoortrow element and would probably settle the matter finally. Three members of the board of trustees of the theological seminary were elected, two of the vacancies being caused by expiration of terras, and the third resulting < from a resignation. Strong anti- Woodrow men were elected. The board heretofore has been in Dr. Woodrow's favor by a majority of one, but is "now overwhelmingly against him. The board was instructed to ask for Dr. Woodrow's ' resignation and to remove him if ho re- . fused to give it, this action being taken after u telegraphic enquiry to the doctor if he would resign had elicited an emphatic telegraphic negative. The synod endorsed the action of the general assembly on the question of evolution, and disapproved the action of the last board of trustees of the seminary, Each test voto resulted 82 against Dr. Woodrow to 46 for him?Greenville News. The Dreaded Quukc. Charleston, Oct 22.?The earthquake shocks appear to have been as 1 sovere in Charleston as in the adjoining Statosof Georgia and North Carolina. Special dispatches have been received from all parts of this ami the neighbor- i ing States, indicating that the seismic . disturbances coverod a laager area of 1 country than any provious shocks In 1 Charleston, and at other points in South Carolina, the shocks were enough to shake bindings, bring down loose plastering, and widen the cracks made i in tho houses by the previous shocks, but no loss of life is reported from any 1 quarter, and no sorious damage to proper&ty. Tho custom house here was ' badly shaken, the western wing being ] cracked and tho walls supporting the roof on the west giving way slightly. The shock at 2:45 this afternoon is said to have lasted thirty seconds. If this time was correctly taken, the shock this \ mqj-ning was iwico as long; ThO waves f moved from north to sftuth. The shocks j caused no interruption to business, and j Although the people were disappointed by tho recurrence of the disturbances they hone that the worst is over. "Ciiabrkbton, 8.
