'AT THB COLOBED METHODIST CUl'BCH.
The members of this church, St.
James, worked all day on Saturday
to put their church in order for the
Easter services, and were rewarded
by the presence of a large and atten
tive congregation who, despite the
bad weal iber, turned out to hear the
of beautiful flowera or that were ar- *frmen and the music and to see the
ranged with such faultless taste, decorations of the church. The
“Put your command under orders of
the Sheriff amt preserve Ibe pence.’’
B. 11. Till man, Governor.
Capt Thompson made the follow
ing reply:
“Telegram received. Have confer
red with the Sheriff, who says there is
no danger of m break of the peace and
no necessity for ordering out militia.
Hasnv T. Thompson,
Commanding Darlington Guards.
Late in the afternoon Gov. Till
man sent the following dispatch to
Capt Thompson:
‘‘I.bear that your arms have bam
taken by a mob. Answer if this is
true.” B. R. Tillman, Governor.
Capt Thompson sent the follow-
MM? "Pi?:
“During my absence from the armo
ry a party of citi sens went there and
took possession of the guns. On bear
ing of this I went to them and de
manded that they surrender them im
mediately, > which they did. I now
hare all the guns and have taken such
precautions as will effectually prevent
a repetition of the Incident."
M _ H. T. Thompson.
' The'business was made more sen
sational by the following telegrams,
which will explain themselves:
Capt A. C. Phelps, Commanding
Sumter Light Infantry,
“Can your company l>e relied on to
uphold the law? A mob bus ptsuvs-
slon of the town of ILtrlinirtoii.”
B. B. Tillman.
The following reply wa* sent:
“The Sumter Light Infunlry will
uphold the law." A. C Phklpm.
Of course it 4« almost needless to
say that the Governor drew largely
on his imagination when he said
the town was in possession of a mob.
It was not a mob, in any. sense of
the word, but an assemblage of quiet
and self-respecting citizens who
were resolved, at any cost, to protect
the sanctity of their homes. It is
useless to attempt to disguise the
gravity of the situation, and jnst as
certainly as Gov. Tillman makes the
issue and orders his spies to search
private houses, there will be blood
shed, and the responsibility of it will
rest upon him, and not npon the
people of Darlington. Its citizens
ar" t t ignorant Bussians who can
be i ard hounded by the
armed m .lions of a despot, bnt self-
respecting Anglo-Saxons who hold
their liberties m higher esteem than
even life itself, and knowing what
these liberties arc will maintain
them at all hazards and against all
odds.
A Snceefs.
The opening at the store ot S. A.
Woods & Co. was a success in every
respect, and on both days the build
ing was crowded with the ladies,
who turned out en masse to inspect
the almost endless variety of pretty
things that were on exhibition. A
number of I hem could t resist the
temptation to repeat tbeir visit and
seemed never to tire of looking at
the numerons articles that always
please the feminine eye. The goods
were arranged with fanltless taste
and in such a manner as to allow of
their peifect inspection.
Every available foot «f space was
Utilized and there was a harmony
and beauty in the arrangement of
the goods that could not possibly be
excelled. The effect of tne display
was very much enhanced by a large
number of blooming flowera that
were placid, in different parts of ths
Imilding. Some of the fair vtsitora
could not run the risk of some one
else getting the special dress, npon
which they had set their hearts, and
ordered them to lie kept
Now the gentlemen mnst not
imagine, in their vanity, that the
dear creatures are purchasing these
dresses to please them, for that is
not the case; they simply design,
figuratively speaking, to kill each
other.

Some of the finest conservatories in
town belong to the members of this
church and their choicest flowers
were utilised to transform the build
ing into a place of wondrous beauty.
Along the sides of the gallery were
suspended festoons of evergreens
which added a great deal to the
beantv of the decoration*. Outside
the chancel railing were arranged
stately "palms, graceful ferns and
groujis of beautiful blooming flow
ers. On each side of the railing,
underneath the gallery were placed
a beautiful arrangement of calla
lilies. The chancel railing was most
gleefully dressed with moss and
evergreens. On the right of the
railing there was a beantiful ar
rangement of white flowers, sur
mounted by a cross, attached to
which was a card bearing the words,
“In Metnonat>i Mrs. M. J. Woods.”
Under the arch, just in rear of the
pnlpit was a pyramid of calla lilies,

ti.g an a|q<enraiice the stately Iwautv

Oil eaell side of Hie pulpit were
arranged groups of line hot house
flowers which were very much en
hanced. Tlie reading desk was eov-
ered wiili cream colored cloth and
most gracefully draped with vines
and white flowers, and if any com
parison could be made it was the
most beautiful of all the decorations.
It was a great disappointment, not
only to the ladies who worked so
ham to arrange the flowers, but to
the people generally that the weather
was so bad as to prevent a lane
number who wished to attend the
services from being present Despite
the rain, however, there was qnite a
large congregation out in the morn
ing and the services were very much
enjoyed by those who braved the
weather. '
The sermon, which we publish in
another column, of the pastor, Bev.
J. K. Carlisle, was a clear and strong
presentation of the Christian belief
in the resurrection, and was listened
to with marked attention by ths
congregation. The musical part of
the service was unusually good and
reflected credit on the organist and
choir. The. hymns were 121, 116,'
118. The beantiful voluntary, “lift
up yoqr heads, O, ye gates,” by
Budds, was admirably sung, and was
an appropriate opening for one of
the most interesting services ever
held in the church.. The offertory
was “lift your glad voices,” by
Waescbe, was also sung with exquis
ite taste. The tenor solo was sung
by Mr. Frank Pegues, whose clear
sweet yoice brought out all the
beauties of the piece. The bass solo
was rendered by Mr. Wood with a
voice as full and deep as the notes
of a pipe orgau. All the singers, as
well as the organist, did full justice
to their parts. The choir consisted
of the following persons:
Organist and soprano, Miss Jennie
Bast
Soprano, Miss Mary Zimmerman
and Mrs. J. H. Mason.
Contralto, Miss Lisxie Bast.
Tenor, Mr. Frank Pegues.
Bass, Messrs. Wood and Vajghn.
Owing to the ceaseless downpour
of rain, and the absence of some of
the singers the mnsical programme,
for the night service conlu be
carried out. The night sermon was
preached by the pastor and was ap
propriate to the occasion.
AT THE EPISCOPAL CUl'BCH.
The Easter services at this church
were held at 4 o’clock on Sunday
afternoon and were enjoyed by a
congregation that filled the building
to its utmost capacity. The services
were condnctcd by the Bev. R. W.
Barnwell, rector, who preached a
very thoughtful and interesting ser
mon from the following text: “This
then is the meesage which we have
of him, and declare unto you, that
God is light and in him is no dark
ness at all”—1st Epistle of John,
ltd.
The church was very tastefully
decorated and presented n very hand
some appearance, the flowers used
being principally white. In place of
the reading desk was a large cedar
cross, studded with scarlet gerani
ums. The altar wag entwined with
ivy and made farther beautiful by
white axaleas and other flowers. The
ohanoel was draped with ivy and
wisteria. The fount was prettily
trimmed with white flowers and
smilax. A white anchor entwined
with smilax rested on it, with the
words: “In memoriaai, Mrs. Wag
ner.”
The music was good and very
much enjayed. The first piece ren
dered was the Easter Anthom. The
offertory was “Moftly now the Light
of Day,” by Baumbach. The regu
lar Easter chants were sung, as were
also the hymns selected for the
occasion.
The members of the church
desire in this connection to express
their obligations to Miss Mary Isiw
and Messrs. Wilds and Powell for
their assiitanue in the music. The
church was darkened and the lamps
were used during tlie seryice.
[We regret that we are unable to
give a synopsis, at least, of this ser-
services were all appropriate to the
occasion, and both the sermon and
mnsic were fully up to the expecta
tions of the oongreipitioa. The
choir has some good voices and the
singing was good and inspiring.

(1.) What does this expression
mean? It means the returning of
life into the dead body of Jesns, and
the returning of that revived body
out of the grave into visible and ac
tive living. The event so named is
of vast import to Christianity, as the
divine signature and seal of the Gos
pel of Love and Salvation proclaimed
by Jesns. He had been born at
Bethlehem, after angelic notification
to His mother, the Virgin Mary.
His life had passed in quiet training
in the home, the village school, and
the carpenter’s shop, until thirty
years had passed; then, in varying
degrees of popularity and persecu
tion, as the great Teacher and
Preacher, until three more years had
passed; then He had been arrested,
tried by the Jewish Church court,
then by the Roman civil court, and
condemued to death on false testi-
moby and through Pilate’s coward
ice. He was crucified on the day
commemorated by “Good Friday,'’
buried I bnt afternoon, and lay in
the tomb, which was officially scaled,
until Sunday daybreak, when He
arose into renewed Jile. We arc told

A Nuisance. _
Some- means .ought to be taken to
prevent the crowding of the waiting
room, at the C. & D. station, by
those who bare no business there, to
the annoyance and discomfort of
people w ho are compelled to wait for
gan publicly, boldly, fearlessly, ex-
ultingly, to preach this wonderful
fact, with power aud success. Ever
since that time, the doctrine of
Christ’s Resurrection has been an
integral and essential part of the
great system of doctrine called
Christianity ; which has never been
known without it
(2.) Did such an event really
occur? Why do we believe in its
reality?
1. Recanse it is plainly and cir-
cumstantiully narrated in the’New
Testament Scriptures.
This is very strong evidence.
. The New Testament is'the ancient
Book of Christianity. For -many
centuries it has existed in the world,
’known, recognized and believed. It
js not .a .book of recent discovery;
not modern translation of ancient
hieroglyphic or cuneiform writings.
It. has been known, copied and re-
copied, rewj by. mnltitudes, studied
by theologians, commented upon in
bpoks, for many centuries. It has
r often been impeached as to its au-
nesses that Jetms arose from the
dead. Yet those Disciples evidently
believed what they asserted, and
rested all ef Christianity on this
event In support of it they suffered
cruel persecutions and horrid deaths;
perfect folly, eyen insanity, if it
were false; but highest wisdom, if
it were true.
(2.) The power of belief iu this
doctrine is evident even now. There
is no' system of thought, philosophy
or religion, comparable to Christ’s
in the uplifting and spiritualizing of
humanity. Its pure morality, its
fundamental principle of lore to
God aud man, its doctrine of the
6 resence and continuance of the
•ivine Spirit in the world, its ex
alted and comforting hopes of im
mortality and Heavcu, are immeasu
rably superior to the teachings of
any other system. But all these are
powerless, if the Resurrection of
Jesus be denied. The whole system
of the Gospel is nullifiad. The Holy
Ghost cannot accomplish His work
of Regeneration and Comforting.
Spiritual deadness, moral obliquity,
intellectual deformity, and destitu
tion of all hope, arc the itortinn of
h m who accepts all of the Gospel
but the Resurrection of its Christ.
Only those who believe this doctrine
experience and illustrate the well
known effects of the Gospel of Faith.
For these and other reasons we
believe that Christ’s Resurrection
was a reality.
(3.) Did Jesns rise into a tempo
rary, or an everlasting life? We
most answer by the scriptures, since
this is matter of revelation, not of
history.
Text: Rom. 6; 9: “Knowing
that Christ being raised from the
dead dieth no more; death hath no
more dominion over Him.”
Lazarus, Jairus’ daughter, the son
of a widow at Nain, all were raised
to life, bnt to die again. Jesus
arose to die no more. He bronght
to light from the darkness of myste
rious death, not only life (as in Laz
arets), but also immortality. When
Lazarus shall be raised again, it will
be in the likeness of Christ’s resur
rection—i. e., into immortality; for
“death hath no more dominion over
Him.”
To-day He who was slain and
buried at that Jewish Passover tide
is “highly exalted,” even “Hit the
right hand of God” in Heaven, as
our Eternal “High Priest,” who
“ever liveth to make intercession for
us.’

were on exhibition at the grand
opening of S. A. Woods A Co., uml
she is requested to call for them.
She is very iiiucli to be envied. We
a t „ will publish the name of the wiuucr
ijuoti, but the friend vbo so kindly |iu our next issuv,
is evidently of divine origin; and its
effects in the world evidently prove
that the diyine sanction has never
been withdrawn from it. The fact
that any event is recorded in this
Book ns true, is prinia fnric evidence
of its reality. No event is more em
phatically asserted therein than the
Resurrection ot Jesus Christ.
s
2. We believe this doctrine, be
muse, also, all history testifies that
It has ever been a doctrine of the
Christian Church.
The Church has never been an or
ganization witli secret doctrines.
Even in the Dark Middle Ages,
when Romanish priestcraft domina
ted Christendom, and controlled
men’s beliefs and consciences, the
doctrines of Christianity were pub
licly known, if not rightly under
stood by all men. The world has
known, through all these genera
tions, that the Resurrection of Jesus
was a prime belief in tlie Church
called after dim.
3. The origin of this doctrine is
not lost back in th« dark, prehistoric
ages, like the origin of myths. This
event is assigned to a definite time
and place. The name of the laud,
Jndea, and th«t of the city, Jerusa
lem, have liocn well known and cer
tified for thousands of years. The
names of Emperor of Rome, Gover
nor of Judea, High Priest of the
Jews, are all giyen. The very dates
in the life of Jesus are so defined
that that of His death is established.
The time of year, Spring, Jewish
Feaet of Paeeover, and other items
of the very days of the Death and
Resurrection of our Lord—all these
are succinct and circumstantial in
the narration. No obscurity of my
thology belongs to Christianity.
4. We believe this to be a fact,
because it lias never been disproved.
Time and again men have tried to
disprove it, with all the logical acu
men of highly cultivated intellects.
They have proved front nature’s
laws the improbability of such an
event; but have always failed to
disprove the fact of the etent.
5. lastly, we believe it because of
the effects of tlie belief.
(1.) The Disciples staked their
lives for time and eternity on this
doctrine. All the other facts of
Jesus’ career were well known to all
the |>coplc, down to His death aud
burial; but they did not know of
His resurrection, not having seen it
oezair, or llini afterwards. Only
the Disciples ever claimed to be wit-

Jasfph James PsrdaaeL
Acting ou the petition of a large
number of citizens. Governor Till
man has granted Joseph James an
unconditional pardon. It will be
re: smbered that he was convicted of
' using the murder of his father
aud sentenced to be hung. This
sentence was afterwards commuted
to life imprisonment, and this, as
has already been stated, followed by
pardon. Sir. James’s attorney, Mr.
E. Keith Dargan, has never relaxed
his efforts in behalf of his client
and his persistent fight for him has,at
last,been crowned with success. The
evidence upon which he was convict
ed was entirelycircumstantial^ndthis
caused a reaction iu public sentiment
in regard to the case, which is shown
in the numerously signed petition for
his pardon. lawk of rime and space
render it impracticable for us to
publish a full statement of the case,
the reasons for asking his pardon
being stated in a lengthy paper.
