The State. A somewhat remarkable story 4 came from Saluda county a short time ago about a negro who preached in his sleep. The man's ^ name was Major Perry. The story was brought out of Saluda by an evangelical preacher who was then on his way out of the State. An effort W'ftq ma^A to rrr*k formation of this unusual case and finally it was ascertained that Dr. D. M. Crosson of Leesville knew Major Perry. Dr. Crossen was written for information. He was in attendance upon the sessions of the South Carolina medical convention, but as soon as he returned, sent the following reply to the news editor of The State. It is a very interesting story of a remarkable case: Dear Sir: Replying to your request that 1 write what I know * about Major Perry, the "sleeping negro preacher," will say that I have known Rev.

The strung part of it is that he can neithe read nor write, so you see h could not prepare his discourse beforehand. This is no lake, as he has bee watched often when alone an ho always preaches.

"Kev. Major Perry," as he i called, is a mulatto of mediui 6ize and about 50 years old ; ha a wife and is the father of 1 children. His children are a industrious and he is about th average of his race for industry He is quiet and has the respec of his whole community for ir tegrity and honor. ne says he does not know anj thing about his preaching an can't explain anything about i when awake.
