tban he did to satisfy the claims of
divine mercy. Mis death was no
more a necessity demanded by the
sovereignty of God, than it was a
necessity demanded by the Father-

his lost children and Ins anxiety for

body a chance to sing, all the hymns
were printed on slips of paper and j
distributed among the congregation.

General in the place of Mr. l’op<
elevated to the Supreme Bench.
We felt apprehensive from the
tlrst that .Judge Wallace would be
defeated, but we are truly glad to
state that Senator Beasley and repre
sentative McCall had the intelligence
and courage to vote for the man
they believed to be best ipialitied for
the position. They did not forget
Judge Wallace’s ability and the
gratitude that the w hole State should
feel for the part he took in redeem
ing ourpeople from the robbers in '7<i.
As for Messrs. Burn and Du Bose
nobody would have suspected them
of voting any other way than they
did. They are not capable of rising
above partisan! prejudice.
Representative Burn’of Darlington
said in the legislature last Friday in
a speech aginst the prohibition bill,
that if the bill became a law “the
nourishing town of Darlington
would be utterly destroyed.” Such a
catstrophe would be unfortunate in
the extreme, but, after all’ such a
fatewoml not be unjust to any town
whose life is derived from the trafllc
in whiskey. A tow n whose existence
depends on any such condition
deserves to be “utterly destroyed.”
We differ from Mr. Burns, however’
in the effect prohibition would have
on the prosperity of I lariingtou. The
town would not ony continue to live
but wood grow and prosper just as
it has in the past. The whiskey
men are not the ones wha have
made Darlington what it is.—Pee
Dee Index.
We have already expressed our
opinion on this question and publish
the above simply to show the opin
ions of others on this question.
_Public opinion has not, as yet, reach
ed the point of sustaining prohibi
tiou, and until it does, no statute of
this character w ill do any good.
their salvation. In this lies the
secret of the power of the cross.
This is but a bare outline of one
of the I>ost sermons preached during
the session of the Conference. Mr.
Richardson was stationed here in
1S80, and his friends were delighted
to have an opportunity of hearing
him again.
The congregation at the Methodist
church on Sunday morning was by
far the largest ever gathered in tin*
building, and every available foot of
space was occupied. As a matter,
of cours:, some were not accommo
dated, but all the ladies, except a
few w ho did not care to press through
the crowd, were seated.
There were over seven hundred |
people packed in the building,
this mere statement will give an idea
of how closely packed the congrega
tion was.
By special request Messrs. Albert
and Lauren Parrott, S. A. Woods
and T. .1. Drew acted as ushers, and
it was a subject of general remark
how well the crowd was managed,
and how little confusion prevailed.
'I’he task of seating the people was
an arduous one, but the ushers un
derstood their business, and every
body had to obey orders. The music
was led by t he tine choir of the church,
and was joined in by the whole eon-
It is almost impossible to keep tin
run of the new bills introduced in
the Legislature, but many of them
are impracticable and unwise.
Among them the bill to compel the
railroads to provide separate coaches
for white and colored people. This
would involve a great deal of useless
expense and accomplish very little
goad. Very few of the colored peo
ple purchase first-class tickets, and
those who do are ; early always quiet
and orderly: very often more so than
a great many w hite men w ho claim
to be gentlen co, but for w hom the
name of rowdies would be more ap
propriate. The night of the 24th of
last Dec. the Editor was on the train
between Florence and Wilmington,
and notwithstanding the fact that
the second class coach was crowd
ed with colored people it was a
great deal more orderly than
the first class car in which there
were no colored people at all. It is
well on excursions to have separate
cars for the two races, but we see no
reason for placing this heavy expense
on the railroads.
Afkr the election of.lodge Mc-
I ver to the position of Chief Justice,
i. wu earnestly hoped that the Lcg-
i.latino would continue the good
v •rk by making Judge Wallace As-
• iate .Justice: but this hope was in
vain, and our represent dives have, in

.case of (Senator Hampton, bad as it
unquestionably was, was not so en

his case, poor as the excuse was,
there might have been the plea of

to 1 e siud in extenuation of such a
piece of work as this, and it should

which was nothing but right, were:
respected. The most interesting
part of the singing was while thej
collection was being taken up. This |
was one of Gounod’s master-pieces,!
“The Pilgrim,” and was very much
enjoyed by all who have any appre
ciation of good music. Just after
the lesson w as read, the sweet solemn
notes of the organ were heard and
soon the magnificent voice of Miss
Bessie Williamson, as clear and
sweet ns a chime of silver bells,
filled the church with melody. All
w hose hearts are tilled w ith the spirit
of charity and whose souls are at
tuned to music were brought nearer J
to God as the. liquid notes of the
gifted singer rose and fell to the I
strains of the grand organ, and (
>lm j many unuttered prayers ascended J
for the sweet voiced musician who so;
freely contributed her divine gift to
add to the interest and solemnity of!
the services.
It has been truly said Unit the
music of earth is designed to attune |
our ears for the symphonies of heaven,;
and when (tie voice of the singer is;
hushed in this world, it is only that;
it may join the mighty chorus of (be
angelic choirs where,
“Shall throb against the Jasper
throne,
Great seas of music when God’s
own;
On Seraph wings have thither flown.”
