We have established a brick making ]>lant in Gaif'ney, and are now in position to lill orders for BRICK (Correspondence of The Ledger.) ri»PKR Coalin’ Gkofni), June 21.— Another muss has been raised in the Coalin Ground that is vexable to a great extent. (I want to say right here that I reserve the right to pick a flaw wherever I find it.) When deacons an parsons git to squabblin over a game you can’t expect nothin better of lay members than to climb Palmetto trees, lust after original packages and travel in forbidden paths. It’s a dog gone shame to our community, so it is. To think how hard I’ve tried to hold old Drayton- viile up an make her the banner community, it makes me sore. I’m ashamed to tell it but it’s a flaw and it must come. You see some time ago a preacher held a v. innin hand an consequently he became pastor of the ole church I love so well. In the main time a brother deacon didn’t like the change an stopped attendin services, an here is where the general muss sets in. In the general tanglement an other deacon comes to ole Flaw to use hirn as an evenger, but nary time do I tumble. (When I git onto a flaw I ginneraliy depth it to the bot tom an locate its deapest seat, no matter where it lies.) He says. “Bro. Flaw, our friend an deacon, Bro. won’t attend services jist because he don’t like Parson , an worse than that, his daughter’s funeral was preached ’tother day an he nor none of his folks would come to hear it. an fur ther more, he teaches false doctrines in Sunday school, an we are goin to confer charges against him. You rip him up the back. Parson said ef he could git the time he would see you about this matter an I thought I would jist step over an tell you my self." I tole him I would see into the iiH'air at my earliest convenience an we bid each other good day. The sum and substance of the affair is jist about this : You know Jesus Christ couldn’t please everybody an no person or set of persons need to try. In this case one brother deacon don’t like the parson an naturally his family follow in his steps. If he belongs to a church an the majority of the members are satisfied witn the pastor he should reconcile himself to the majority an be a man an go to church. 1 don’t see how a good Christian man can hold spite an envy towards another brother, nohow. There’s some rot about it somewhere. Ihe flaw I find in the other deacon is this. Instidof him cumin to me he should ort to have went to the other deacon an took him to one side and reasoned with him in a brotherly- way an won him back, hut no, he must have it in the papers, so here it goes. Ef my brother had stole a sheep I wouldn’t go an put it in a newspaper or tell an officer, but I would talk to him an try an git him to return it.Jor ef he had done an eat it I would try to git him to restore its cquivolvnt in cash, an ef lie wouldn’t do neither one I would play hands off. The main pint is this: The flaw don’t rest with one man alone. There is envy an hard feelins in the church an it will never do any good until somebody gits re-converted, for ”n house that’s divided against it self shall not stand." A church- member should hold their personal church affairs more sacred an secret titan their household affairs for the church affairs are pertainin to their eternal home. I hold no ill will at neither of the deacons nor the par son but when even one of my bosom pets (a little Picker) gets seriously wrong an I have to iay it on I gin neraliy lays it on purty heavy, but it alius hurts me as bad as it hurts them. Brethren, if you think anything of the church yuu belong to and the cause you represent, get together an get reconciled and be men in deed an in purpose and let your lights shine. Ef I couldnt git the fire started an keep it a burnin I would, before God. stop raisin so much smoke. What do you think downright Christians will think about you when u man of the world lias to rebuke and censure you? The True Remedy. W. If. Uepine,editorTlskilwa, 111., "Chief," says: "We won’t keep It use without Dr. King’s New Discov ery for Consumption, Coughs and Cold® Experimented with many others, but never the true remedy until wc used Dr. King’s New Discov ery. No other remedy can take its place in our home, as in it wo have a certain and sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc.” It is idle to experiment with other reme- . .. . ,, , .

Mon day evening he had a good congrega tion to listen to his simple yet beau tiful exposition of the "Office of the Holy Ghost." The congregation was very attentive and manifested a great deal of interest. Tuesday Dr. Bar ron spoke on "Seeking for the loKt," taking for his text Luke ll):10: ’For the son of Man has come to seek and and to save that which was lost.’’ Lust night J)r. Barron’s congrega tion was larger titan on any previous occasion since his arrival inG.tfTney. He preached a most fancinating ser mon on “Witnessing for Christ.” using for his text Acts 8:15: "We are witnesses." The work Mr. Barron is now doing is simply preparatory. He will im prove with acquaintance and when he leaves Gaffney he will take with him ties of friendship that can never be broken. Just now he is working on the church members but many who know not the way will be glad that lie has come among us. Dr. Barron has been preaching about thirty years. For eighteen years lie has been associa'ed with Dr. H. M. Wharton, the celebrated evan gelist of Baltimore in preaching and publishing. They are still associa ted in the publication of the “Evan gel," of Baltimore. Those who fail to hear him will cer tainly miss a treat. He is intensely iuterc-sting. He has a vain of humor in his make-up and preaches a smil ing gospel of love and has no sympa thy with the long-faced and over-pi ous looking individuals who would have mankind believe that religion means a seclusion of self and that life is a burden to those who seek to follow the meek and lowly Nazurene. *— —• - ■ - - • Shirts at a bargain at remaining cry.
