V Does a Good work Among the Illicit Distillers in the Mountains.—Rev. Mr. Matheson Resigns at Salem. Wilkinsville, Nov. 19.—About ten years ago when Rev. R. P. Smith was sent by the Presbytery of Meek- lenburg to the mountain section of North Carolina to work up that sec tion of that State, he was confronted by many seemingly insuperable ob stacles that only such a man as he is is able to overcome. There were about eleven counties in which the Presbyterian church had practically no organization, and the work was a great undertaking, as viewed from a hu man standpoint. Tlid country was rough and the people untrained, and ever since the war, especially, had they been engaged largely In the dis tilling business, and consequently they looked upon every stranger who came in their midst with a degree of suspicion that made the undertaking hazardous, or even perilous, to a cer tain extent. It was not an uncommon thing in travelling along tin- roads on the mountains for the smoke from the distilleries on either side to arise with the perfume of the still beer that betrayed the presence of the plant at work. Of these he made no unnecessary mention, and when he met one of the operators he treated him with his usual politeness and passed on. On one occasion, while far away in the interior of this sec tion where he was sent to canvass in the interest of his work, he was con fronted by a great big mountaineer, standing by tho road side, who want ed to know who he was, where he was going, etc. Mr. Smith told him he was a minister of the gospel, sent out by the Home Mission Committee to look after establishing mission stations in that section, and to organ ize churches where the way was clear. The fellow told him he must go hack, they didn’t need them, and also that they didn’t allow preachers and niggers to come among them. Mr. Smith told him his mission was, a peaceful one and that he was in the line of duty, and he must insist on dis charging it. The fellow stood !1:rn and protested against his going any farther, and Insisted that he must turn back. Mr. Smith told him he was going to stop that night at a near-by home and hold religious ser vices, and invited him to come and he thought he would change his opin ion. Finally Air. Smith told the fel low good by and started on, but in sisted on h's coming out and bring ing his family and friends, a \ he wanted to meet them. That night, sure enough, the fellow came with a great crowd of others— great big. rough looking fellows, some of whom had the sent of still beer on their clothing. They all looked more or less suspicious of him and his mis sion. He held the appointed service, and after it was over began making their acquaintance, in which he made himself ns pleasant as possible. He felt that now was the time for him to begin his work with them. The spirit of unrest and suspicion began to die down and the leader of the crowd began to make himself officious in introducing “the preacher’’ to the crowd, calling them up one by one. Finally Mr. Smith told them he was glad to meet them, and he hoped their meeting together would prove of mutual benefit to them as well as himself. He invited them to come again and bring other of their friends, and also their families. And at each succeeding meeting both the crowd and interest increased, till, finally, on or neap the same spot a mission point was established, and it was not long before they organized a ehurch, which then (six years ago) was get ting along nicely. This same work has more or less spread all over that country. Mr. Smith said that accord ing to their means ho was never treated better by any people. They would Invite him to their homes, and do all in their power to provide for his comfort, and he then numbered his friends by the score throughout that section. They came to hear hirn preach and gave him a respectful hearing. In speaking of these people and their primitive condition, and espec ially since the war. Mr. Smith said something like this; They never looked upon th*- mak ing and selling of liquor as a crime against either God or man. It was the only way they had to convert their produce into a marketable com modity, from which they got the mon ey necessary to meet the ordinary ex penses of life. This had always been done In that country. Then, again, when the war was ended and the noxious revenue laws were enacted to defray its expenses, unprincipled and otherwise villlanous men were appointed to enforce It. Ry these they wore hunted like wild beasts, and dragged into court, or shot down in merciless cruelty. This state of affairs made them think that the gov ernment was still at war with them, and consequently put them Into a state of chronic insuhordlnatlot . which exists more or less today. Rut after all they are true to themselves and to their friends There Is only one way to reach them, and that <s by kind, fair treatment. "They are a hospitable people, so far as their means will admit, and,” said he, “I can go amongst them now with every assurance that they will treat me with courtesy and due considera tion.” There are many other things connected with Mr. Smith’s labors In North Carolina of which we migh' speak. Some of them amusing, as well as pathetic.. When we think of the work of our missionaries -- home or foreign — and the sacrifices they are compelled to make, and treat the cause lightly, o r with indifference, w r e betray an alarming state of moral degenerey on our part. Rev. John F. Matheson preached at Salem last Sabbath and Sabbath night, to a large and appreciative congregation. His morning text was Romans x:l: “Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel Is that they might be saved.” That night he chose for his text Revela tion 3:5: “He that overcometh the same shall he clothed In white rai ment; and I will not blot his name out of the book of life, but I will con fess his name before my Father, and before His angels.” Throughout both th* >sp services the speaker had the very best attention while he prvached. both of them most excel lent sermons. At the morning ser vice the sacrament of baptism was administered to Roy Brown, the in- fant son of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Estes, and at the conclusion of this service the following paper was read by a member and adopted by a rising vote of tin congregation: “Whereas, with us this day’s ser vice closes the ministerial labors of our beloved pastor, Rev. John F, Matheson, and in all human probabil ity it will he the last time we fill shall ever meet him again on this earth; “And whereas, in the third petition of the Lord’s prayer—‘Thy will he done in earth as it is in heaven,’—we pray that God. by His grace, would mako us able and willing to know, obey and submit to His will in all tilings, as tbe angels do in heaven; therefore, he it resolved, “1st. That we how in humble sub mission to the divine will in the cir cumstances that call for our separa tion. and that we, collectively and in dividually, pray God’s blessings on him. his family and his work, wher ever God in His providence shall east his future lot. “2nd. That we ask an Interest in our brother’s prayers that God will bless us, collectively as a ehurch, and severally as individuals and families, and that He will provide us another shepherd, who will lend the flock and feed it with the bread of life. “3rd. That we commend our broth er. Rev. John F. Matheson. to the Great Shepherd and to the people he goes henee to serve, while we shall ever cherish a fond remembrance of him and the work he has done in our midst in building up the waste places in Zion. “4th. That these resolutions he in scribed on our church booh', published in our church and other papers, and that a copy of the same be sent to I bother Matheson as a testimonial of our love and respect for him, as well as our appreciation of his services while he has been with us.” After reading and adoption of the foregoing preamble and resolutions, Brother Matheson spoke very feeling ly of the kindness with which he had been treated by the people of Salem and the sister churches while he had been among them. The service on Sabbath night clos ed by the congregation singing, “God he with you till we meet again.” But the supreme moment came only when the members of the church and oth ers shook hands with Mr. Matheson and told him good bye. Although this letter has been filled out with references to the Presbyte rian church and its work, we don’t want the readers to conclude that w« thhik all the good people belong to it, for they do not. None of them are any bettor than they should be, and many of us are not as good as we might be; yet we have some of them in our ranks. The last report from Mr. Ed Ijee^h is not at all encouraging. He is suf fering greatly with Ids amputated limb, and the end seems to be gradu ally approaching. Mr. John J. Robin son is at his bed side. There is now a fine opening in this section for a good doctor, and we hope some one will soon apply.

There were three oil burning loco motives left on the side tracks of the Southern Railway Tuesday night that attracted quite a lot of attention. They were billed to the St. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico Railway. It is said that some of the brass work was taken from them Tuesday night. It is a good tiling they were not left at Spartanburg, because if they hud all the brass would haw* been taken. The annual meeting of the stock- holders of tin* Gaffney Manufactur ing Company was held here yester day. Mr. Alfred Moore, of Lockhart, was elected to fill a vacancy on the board of directors.

In presenting Mr. Manship. who ap pears at the Star Theatre Tuesday night, let ns say that iiis is not a lec ture, but rather an evening of enter tainment. blending humor and pathos in a most charming and original way. He takes a sunny view of life, bright ening and bringing human hearts closer together. There is a thread of conversation and oratory running through his “evenings” and from this dangle stories which never fail to please. Prominent and possibly his best efforts refer to the old time Southern negro—the lights and shad ows of the olden days. Of the chil dren of slavery it has been said, "He knows them accurately and presents them truthfully, as only one can do whose life has been spent with them in the South.” The following are a few abbreviated plaudits from the press: “Mr. Manship held the closest at tention of his audience. He is mas ter of the negro dialect and an ora tor and impersonator of ability.”— The Washington, D. C.. Post. “Our people went wrild over Man- ship. The universal verdict is that he is emphatically the best enter tainer who ever visited Henderson.” —Henderson. Ky., Gleaner. “Hon. Luther Manship. the famous artist of the South, entertained one of the largest audiences of the sea son, moving to tears or convulsions with laughter at will." — Denver Times. “Hon. Luther Manship’s ‘evening’ proved a highly Interesting entertain ment. He plays on a harp of many strings. He has a mastery of lingual difficulties, and excels in narration of a negro story any lecturer who has ever been heard in this city.”—Mem phis Commercial. A thief entered the house of Mr. W. C. Carrington on East Main street. Spartanburg. Wednesday night while fill were at supper and stole a num ber of wraps and overcoats off the hall rack.

As soon as he learned of the affair he notified the police and put them to work on the ease. The thief entered through the front door, which was bolted hut not locked It being bad. damp weather, the hall rack was full of wraps and coats, and the thief had quite an as sortment to take along.

The old di rectors who were re-elected are Capt. A. H. Foster. Capt. F. M- Farr, E. Nicholson, S. M. Milliken, E. M. Green, and R. P. Snelling. P. E. Fant was elected president of the mills and E- Nicholson, treasurer and manager. J. Roy Fant, one of the new directors elected, is the son of the late president, John A. Fant, and the new president is a brother. E. Nicholson, who has been chosen as treasurer and manager of the mill, was vice-president of the mill at the time of the late president’s death. The mill declared a 3 per cent, semi-annual dividend, and its affairs were found to be in excellent shape. WATCH YOUR TONGUE- If Furred and coated, it is a warn ing of Trouble to come.

Grover, N- C-. Nov. 18-—Hurrah for the Farmers’ Union! I am glad to know that the farmers are beginning to realize what it is to go to so much expense to raise cotton, and take such little prices for it. It is true It coeta the farmer as much to raise his cot ton as he gets for it. and at the rate everything is. Its really costs him morre than the present price. Union men. hold your cotton; stick togeth er; hold fast to what you have, for if you let go you may know what will he the result. You may be weak, it is true- but if you hold fast to what you have, what will you accomplish? Why. yo u will accomplish one of the greatest organizations in the world. That is saying a great deal, for there are some good organizations. But why do I say this? First, because the farmer is the backbone of the world, where does the food and rai ment supplies come from? From the poor old w f eather-beaten and down trodden farmer. Yes, why do I say this? Because he goes to town in the spring and asks the merchant what he is going to sell him fertili ze,- at this year. The answer he usu- aly gets is, that it is a little higher this year. He also asks him what he sells any and all of his goods at, and the merchant has his price and profit. Don’t understand me to be throwing any slurs at our merchants, but they add their profit over and above the cost. The stockholders of the manufacto ries have their per cent.; the whole sale houses have theirs; the drummer gets his salary off of it; the railroads get their pay out of it; and then the common retailers get their profits, and the poor farmer pays a large per cent, of all this. The farmer buys his fertilizer, pre pares his lands, plants his cotton, ulows it from six to seven times, hoes it three or four times, and then comes gathering time, a great many hire a goo,] portion of it picked; then he hauls it to the gin and pays a part for ginning and then he hauls it to the market and, instead of the buy ers asking him what he is going to sell him cotton at this fall, why the farmer has to asp. the merchant what he is lining to sell fertilizer at. and then ask the buyer what he is going to give him for his cotto^ Is it fair? It doesn’t seem to me that it is. It looks as if the farmer ought to have a little say-so in what he has to sell. Farmers, stand together; stick to gether; all together, and pull togeth er, and the load will move, by the help of God. f^tick together, farmers, just as far ns it is just and risrht. for If you don’t no one will for you. Txive thy neigh bor a s thyself. Pray for thine ene mies. Take the land into thine organ ization. and you will be sure to suc ceed. There i s one other thing I want to mention, and that is; fo reduce your acreage in cotton and add more to your corn, wheat, oats, peas, beans, hay, potatoes, molasses, and raise your meat, make your milk and but ter, look afte r your chickens and eggs. etc., and you will soon not have to asp- anybody to run you. and there will soon be “something doing " With best wishes, I close.
