Rev. John S. Croxton, the well
known Baptist minister, was
stricken with paralysis while in
the pulpit preaching Sunday
morning. Soon after he began
preaching the congregation saw
that something was wrong with
with him. Instead of talking in
his usual straight-along manner
he kept hesitating, repeating his
words, and.so on. After about
ten minutes he closed the Bible
and sat down. Dr. llinson went
to him and they bathed his face
in water. Some one suggested
t hat he li*? Hnivn I to ho'inl t hom
and at once started out. of the
church, lie was asked if he
could po without assistance. lie
replied, "Oh, yes." These were
the last words that he spoke. He
was able to walk home, however,
about a hundred yards away, and
to pet in the bed himself. Then
he became unconscious a Ad at
last accounts he was still in this
condition.
Mr. Croxton is a pood preacher,
a man of strong force ol character,
and greatly loved by his people.
Probably no man in the county
lias as great, influence as lie, and
he uses that in licence lor good.

Mr. Amorv Crockett received a
telegram Sunday morning stating
that his lather, Mr. Stanhope
Crockett, of Yorkville, had died
the night before. No particulars
were given. Ixit it is supposed
that he died suddenly, as it was
not known that he was sick.
Mr. Crockett used to live here
and was well liked by everybody.

Quarterly meeting was held in
the Methodist church Saturday?
the first service in the new
church. The church is now completed,
and is a beautiful building.
Mr. William Bird, of Lancaster,
had the contract to finish
the church (Contractor Cauthen
having died when he had the
work about half done), and he
certainly did a good job. The
painting was done by Messrs.
Griffin and Owens, of Lancaster,
who also did a good job.

THE CHRISTIAN SABBATH.
Northern Presbyterians Protest
Against. Newspapers, Street
Cars and Railroad Excursions Being
Operated on Sunday, and ,
Indignantly Criticise Congress
and the President lor Allowing
Roman Catholics to Erect a
Chapel at West Point.
Minneapolis, Minn., May 19.?
Sunday observance was the ques- i
tion which took the major part of
the Presbyterian Assembly's time
to-day. Most of the long afternoon's
session was devoted to an
earnest and often excited discussion
on the part of the special
committee on Sabbath observan ,
ces. In the eud the committee's
eight resolutions were adopted i
with slight amendment, and two
were added.
In Ihe discussion the Sunday 1
street car, the Sunday train and 1
railroad excursion, the Sunday
newspapers, the Sunday working
Presbyterian and every form ol
activity which is not in harmony
with the literal meaning of the
Fourth Commandment was con- ,
demned. Indignant command- |
ments were made when another (
special committee reported that
it had not been able to keep con <
gress and the President from '
granting the Roman Catholics 1
permission to erect a chapel on
the West Point Military Academy
reservation.
In the debate on the Sabbath
resolutions almost every speaker
gave evidence of being imbued
with the feeling expressed in the
words of the committee. "The
American Christian Sabbath is in
iminent perfl ; in tact, in many of
our large cities and in other parts
i i : l 1? i
*ji tun mini, n is airt'HUy nearly
lost. This means that American
liberty and American institutions
are in peril, for of these the
American Sabbath has been both
the foundation and protection."
An attempt to get the phrase
"Christian Sabbath" substituted
for the phrase "American Sabbath"
in the resolution was defeated.
As adopted the resoltions deprecate
the secularizing of the Sab
bath, urge members and young
peopie oi me cnurcn to realize!
the importance of Sabbath ob-1
servance, Legislatures and Congress
are urged to protect the
American Sabbath, the American
Sabbath Union and the Woman's
National Sabbath Alliance are
commended, every pastor is re
commended to preach on Sabbath
observance on some Sabbath of
next October and to take a col
lection for ihe Sabbath Union;
the board of publication is requested
to prepare and Sabbathschool
superintendents to use a
specific Sabbath observance leaflet,
sympathy is expressed with
three millions of Americans, who,
because of Sabbath desecration,
are compelled to do secular work
on the Sabbath. President McKinley's
attention is respectfully
called to t lie fact that employees
of the postofTice and many other
deparments of the Government
are compelled to work on Sunday.
THE FRKKDMAN'H BOARD IN DEBT.
Minneapolis, May lib?The
moderator of the General Assent-1
blv issues the following nnn?iil l/J

ail Presbyterian churches in the
United States :
''Inasmuch as all the boards of
our Church have closed the year
without aiiy indebtedness save
the Freedrnan's board, I, Robert
F. Sample, moderator of the General

Minn., do heieby appeal
to all Presbyterian churches
throughout the United States to
make an offering for this cauRe
on Sabbath. May 21, and repoit
the same to me by telegram Monday
morning. This appeal is
made that, for the first time in
twenty years, our Assembly may
conclude its sessions free from
the burden of debt, which amounts
to $40,000.

Let Butler Lead!
, Kellogg Building,
Washington, D. C.,
May 18, 1899.
ro the Editor of The stute.
I see by The State received
this morning that (Jen. Hampton
declines the public subscription
to rebuild his house.
This is very creditable to him,
aud what might have been ex
pected/but I trust the project
will not be abandoned. The matter
ought to be put in the hands
of a committee with authority to
ask for bids to rebuild the house
meantime collecting the money
to pay for it. I am quite sure every
patriotic man and woman in
the state would be glad to help in
a movement so emineutly proper
and praiseworthy.
I am ready to act in any capacity
where it is thought I can be of
service, and to make my contribution.
M. 0. Butler.
We agree fully with Gen. Butler.
The movement ought not to
be abandoned, but rather a committee
should be chosen to direct
it. We take the liberty of nominating
Gen. Butler as chairman
of that committee. Ab Hampton's
former lieutenant in war and
colleague in the senate, a and
friend always, he is eminently
qualified to lead. What Ray the
people??The State.
One of them says, Araeu ! And
he believes they all do.
* * *
The State goes on to say :
Gen. Hampton holds no office.
He has saved no money. He has,
we believe, a plantation in Mississippi,
but our information is
that it is heavily mortgaged and
yields only wo or three hundred
dollars a year above the interest
on the mortgage. 11 is land in the
suburbs of Columbia is also, we
are advised, covered by a mortgage.
If he were a wealthv or
weil-to do man, or even in comfortable
circumstances, we would
acquiesce in his refusal to accept
aid. But the case is such that to
acquiesce in it would be greater
disloyalty to him than to overrate
it.. A lady who went out to his
place informs us that she was
shocked to find him utterly destitute.
We cannot be silent, even
in respect to his pride, when wo
get such advices as these. In
such circumstances we deny that
he has a right to say "No" to his
friends, and they will deny it also.
We suggest that Gen. Butler
take the lead and select a cr?m.
mittee to assist him; that they
meet in Columbia and determine
the course to follow. That is the
best and quickest way to bring
about practical results.
To which 1 again say,amen ! It
is a pity that one who has done
as much tor his people as Hampton
has should, through misfor
tune, suffer for the necessities and
comforts of life?and it should
not he allowed. His pride?com
mendable pride though it is?
must not he allowed to stand in
the way. Let the suggestions of
Antler and The State he acted
upon?at once.

An Epidemic of Whooping Cough.
Last winter during an epidemic of
whooping cough my children contracted
the disease, having severe coughing
spells. We had used Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy very successfully for
croup and naturally turned to it at
that time and found it relieved the
cough and effected a complete cure.?
