Meeting of Pee Dee °resbytery.
Pee Dee Presbytery met in
Carolina Church, Marion Co.,
on April 4th., and was opened
with a sermon by Rev. S. E.
Bbhop, the last Moderator. Mr.
John McSween, an elder of the
Florence Church, was elected
Moderator, and Geu. W. E.
James, of Darlington, tempor
ary clerk.
Licentiate D. M. Fulton was
received from Enoree Presby
tery. A call for the pastoral
services of Mr. Fulton from the
Darlington Church was read,
and being found in order, was
placed in his hands. Having
signified his willingness to ac
cept the same, the Presbytery
proceeded, after the required
examination, to ordain him to
the full work of the ministry.
Rev. A. H. McArn, of Che-
raw, and Elder J. N. Drake, of
Blenheim, were elected commis
sioners to the General Assem
bly, which meets in Dallas, Tex.
in May. Revs. J. G. Richards
and J. H. Dixon were appoint
ed commissioners to install Rev.
D. M. Fulton as pastor of the
Darlington Church on the third
Sabbath in May next. Sept.
4th. was appointed as the time
for holding the Elders’ and Dea
cons’ convention at Kentyro
Church, and a programme for
the same was reported and a-
dopted. After a very p’e isant
meeting, Presbytery adjourned

are “doing
dered into active service, and
this threw the school entirely
under the coifffM of Mr. Ham
by. He filled the position with
marked ability, and with great
satisfaction to its patrons. In
the spring of 186?, he went into
service, and this closed his con
nection with the school until
1870, when he again assumed
charge of it. In 1871, he was
elected Superintendent of the
Winy ah Indigo Society School
at Georgetown, and filled the
position until the end came.
As a teacher he was remark
ably successful, and had few
equals and no superiors in the
State. He was not content with
simply imparting mental in-
itruction, but strove both by
precept and example, to train
morally also. His work, both
for the mental and moral im
provement of his pupils, has
left an indelible impression up
on the town in which he spent
so many years of a useful and
laborious life.
In early life Mr. Hamby con
nected himself with the Metho
dist Church, and spent both
time and means freely in its
service. His loss to the church
at Georgetown will be well nigh
irreparable. He possessed a
voice of rare sweetness, and it
was seldom silent during the
service of a song. His life was
a pure and useful one, and he
died a gentleman without stain,
and a Christian without re
proach.
In 1872 Mr. Hambv was hap
pily married to the accomplish
ed Miss Hester Williams, of
Georgetown, and until her death
in 1886 his home life was an
ideal one, and one that develop
ed all the better and truer part
of his nature, making him a
model husband and father. He
leaves six children and a large
number of relatives and friends
to deplore his death.
The tired hands are now at
rest, the brave, true heart has
forever ceased to beat, but to
him it is not death, but the ush
ering in of life, that life in
which he shall join the choir
invisible, and dwell forever in
the presence of the One whose
will he did on earth.

Easter Services.
Easter morning opened clear
and bright, with every prospect
of a beautiful day, except that
it was quite cool and all those
who expected to bloom out in
“Easter suits” were disappoint
ed. The Methodist and Epis
copal Churches were beautiful
ly dressed. The latter was de
corated in white and green and
with many beautiful flowers.
On the gate of the communion
rail was a cross, and the font
was filled with flowers. The
cross on the communion table
was entwined with green, and
a large spray of green waz on
the organ. The music was in
the hands of Mrs. Frank Pe-
gues who had made most admir
able selections. Among other
beautiful pieces rendered was
the responsive “Te Deum” by
Greatorex, and a beautiful solo
during the offertory.
The decorations in the Meth
odist Church were very elabor
ate and in good taste. On the
•eft, near the pulpit, was a
beautiful cross on a mound, the
whole done in white, and in
commemoration of Dr. James C.
Willcox. Just behind the pul
pit, hanging from the arch,
were garlands of green, and be
hind these was a mound of ferns,
Looking at this from the door,
the effect was a beautiful one;
the mound of ferns seemed to
be at a great distance. Miss
Jennie Rast presided at the or
gan, and the music was of a
high order. The solo during
the offertory sung by a sweet
mezzo soprano voice was ex
quisitcly rendered.

In Military Circles.
At the annual meeting of the
Darlington Guards, held on the
first Thursday night in the pre
sent month, the Rev. R. W.
Lide was elected Chaplain of
the Company to fill the vacancy
created by the resignation of
the Rev. John G. Law. All the
other commissioned officers were
re-elected for tiie ensuing year.
The following non-commission
ed officers have been appointed,
to hold office until April 1, 1896:
First Sergeant, P. J. Boat

James, C. S. McCullough, Jr.,
Eugene Vaughan and P. 8.

re-elected Secretary and Mr. P.

In addition to the $19.25 made
by the ladies for the “uniform
fund” in February, and the $50
so generously donated for the
same purpose by Mr. Samuel
Carpenter, special representa
tive of the Eastern Building and
Loan Association, Mr. J. L.

a total of $76.75 for the fund
named, Who’s the next?
A base ball nine has been
formed by the active members
of the Company. They opened
the base ball season last Friday
afternoon by “crossing bats”
with the town nine at the Aca
demy Green. A second game
was played between tbe two
nines at the base ball park on
Tuesday afternoon. A large
crowd was present on both oc
casions, ana considerable inter
est was manifested in the games.
The purpose is to keep up these
games for some time to come,
and as soon as the Guards’ team
gets practiced up sufficently, to
challenge some of the other
military companies of the State
to a contest “on the diamond.”
The Darlington Club wasclos

will probably be successful, to

The Coast Line's New Branch.
. (.New* and Courier.]
The annoucement was made
recently that the Atlantic Coast
Line wished to build a short
spur of road between the Char
leston and Northern and Man
chester and Augusta divisions
of its system, and a good deal
of interest was felt in the mat
ter. The people of Charleston
were anxious to know what was
the object of the cut off.
It seems the Atlantic Coast
Line is anxious to bring the
Charleston and Northern divis
ions df its system into closer
connection with this city, and
that the connection of the Man
chester and Augusta line with
the Charleston and Northern
will accomplish this purpose.
This city does a great deal of
business with the territory cov
ered by the old Charleston, Sum
ter and Northern Rond, all of
which now goes over the Atlan
tic Coast Line.
The route is rather a long and
roundabout one, as matters now
stand, and the Coast Line peo
ple think that all of the difficul
ties will be removed by the link
which they propose to build.
The new line will only be six or
seven miles long, but it will
lessen the distance between
Charleston and the northern
counties by a good many miles.
The Coast Line is advertising
for bids on construction and
hope, if possible, to have the
road built before midsummer.
