A Patriotic Duty, f - ?% __ %' At the last session of the General Assembly the sum of $20,000v was appropriated toward the erection of an equestrian 6tatue of General Wade Hampton. This amount is available, we understand, only when - the people of the State have raised $io,000 to supplement the appropriation. There buing forty-one counties^ the State this, hieans a contribution of about $250 from each 1 county, or, on. a basis of 1600 voters ^ ...to the county, an average subscripV'Jtion of fifteen cents from each voter. ,f Now that the State has done its part-we hope there will be no further delay or difficulty in raising Williaipsburg's ? portion; rather ^flfuld we like to see at least $500 f go from our county to this fund. Inhere was a committee appointed hot May upon whom devolves the "ji . responsibility of securiug contribulions for this purpose. This com .? 7% ' v mittee consists of the members of the eodrity executive committee and its membership extends to every part of the county. It is a most excellent committee, being composed of a number of our intelligent &?d public-spirited citizens; but unless their work has been done very quietly indeed they have been somewhat dilatory in meetiug the responsibility that is resting upon them. Several months ago we were informed that only a \' few dollars had been collected and if any more has been reported we .have not heard of it. "But it is not yet too late for the <xJmwittee to get to work and see ? thafthev matter is properly presented do the public.

An Interesting Discussion of First Causes--Tangible Evidence of a Prehistoric Age. I"! ' . (For '] he County Record.) Editor County Record: uGood morning Frank; come in. I am glad to see you and glad yo:: are to go oil' to school. But let me tell \on the first word to learn when you gel there: It is NO! Vou will find a lot of first class had hoys to get you into mischief; hut don't he a nam by pamby piece of poller's clay lor the devil's agents to make a first class piece of nothing out of, like these bad boys that cut the holmes? tent ropes last Sunday night. You will iiave lots ol use lor that No; for broad is the way that leadeth to destruction and many there be that find it.' I used tell tnv boys - _ 4 L. ? 1. _ Alien tney ten nome >o iane ine | lead themselves, 'don'l be lej]'; rhen it will not be so hard lo say |! no. But let :ne tell you the devil, not only has lots ol low down unprincipled privates in his arrnv, I but he has high toned, big captains and generals, who insinuate themselves and their horrid ideas of infidelity, so artfully and slealthiiy that I want to warn you oi them. They are o'ien found in college professors who become so smart that they see no use lor Gcd. They Iry to put mailer ahead of God, saying it always existed, that the worlds were not made, just evolved into form and being. It's a wonder they don'l say that matter made God. The Bible savs 'God himself *' ' formed the earth, Ue created ii not in vain, lie made it to be inhabited.' 'lie streicheih tiie north over Ihe empty space and hangeth the earlh upon nothing.' 'Thou eoveredst it with Ihe deep as with a garment, the waters stood above the mountains.' Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of Ilis hand and meted out the heaven with a ^pan, and comprehended the dust d' the e:;rih in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, land Itie hills in a balance.' i 'Lift up your eyes on Irish and behold who hath created these things." Evolution? Things not made? Just evolved? Well! wel-! .Stealing the Bible's thunder and trying to twist it to suit a depraved infidelii\! Evolution? Webster says it is Ilhe act of 11 tifoldevelopment; | process of growth. The evolution | of a flower from a bud; an aniI mal from an egg. II God set's j ^e st; in 11 is wisdom and prej scribes certain laws and clt-annels through which matter is made to develop, grow or evolve inlo lull fruition, let it be so; a grain ol corn evolves by his fixed law into a stalk and the lull grown ear. Il is God's fixed laws and is not inconsistent with His word. 'By the word of the Lord were the heavens made and all the host of them by the spirit of ilis mouth.'' 'He doeth great things past find- < ins oufi ft"(l wonders without numbei!' The high and holy one who jnhabiteth eternity.' kBe ye I not ignorant of this one thine, i that one day with the Lord is as a I | thousand years, and a thousand I years is as one dav.' 'A thousand j years in Thy sight are as but yes- | terday when it is paused and gone | ami as a watch in the night.' | ; 'For as the Heavens are higher . than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and Mv j thoughts than your thoughts.' Now, see here, Frank, you will j find many books, from time to ? time that you should be ashamed 1 to read; but never be ashamed to i read the Bible. I heard a ] preacher say that religion is worth I more for the happiness of the j human race in this life, than everything else put together find * 1 believe lie is hall* right.j lor if ? ;ill religious principles were done away wiiii, our world would be in a bad fix. Keep your eyes about and you can pick up knowledge all around, and see God in all ihiiii:<. Ilere. let me show you some sea shells nearly as large as your hand? clam or cockle shells? I got from petrified sea mud, now called lime stone at Alison's on the greai Fee Dee river. They evolved, or . grew according lo (rod's laws, J thousands of years before old Father Adam's time. J But you say thai is not in areord with Moses' iccount of criation; so say many of the wouldbe wiseacres; but recollect those ; six days of creation were God's kind of davs. r When Mhe earth was without fortn, and void, and darkness covered the face of the deep, and the spirit of God moved upon the waters; our kind of days were unknown. God's kind of days pre- J vailed. A thousand years in His sight were as but a watch in the -| night. His ways are past finding out. Eternity will be too short I tor our own God-given spiritual nature in heaven to fully comprehend all His wonders; which will be food for spiritual contemp- . lalion forever. Our day is measured by the daily revolution ot our planet? ( this world?one day on Jupiter would be equal to one of his \ * I revolutions; und so with Mars, and any of the other planets aceoring to the time of each one's revolution. But who can set limits to God's kind ??f day.-? Is ft that liis eternal throne, in the midst I of the unlimited universe of suns I and systems, around wlrch as a ureal eternal common center of their ethereal orbits, they all ^ revolve in gentle obeisance perhaps once in myriads of year.-? 1 Is it that this eternal, universal center, ot unutterable immensity, ' condescends to make revolutions . (in its own axis in obedience to ^ God's universal decrees in certain inexpressible periods of time? T And is it that one riicIi revolution f corresponds with one of God's ( kind of days? I don't know; but ! we will think over this theme ^ whehwegoup .vender and sing tl with the poets. 'Can man conf ceive beyond what God can do? Well, these shells could not i have grown during Noah's flood, lor it was gone in less limn 12 n months, but God's kind ol days, during the process of creation, were plenty long tor their maturity, perhaps a thousand limes over. ; Picture in your mind, if you can, the effect, when God said, 'let the waters under the heavens 1 he gathered together in one place and let the dry land appear, and God called tfye dry land earth and the gathering together of the waters he called seas.' Now at this command one of the two things had to happen, or both, part of the earth had to sink, or part had to rise, or both. Then tlie mighty rushing of the waters Iroin the higher ground cut channels for all the; rivers. ~ .... i i* I. * _ t. 1 Oceans ol nsn were jeu mgu anu . dry perhaps 10 feet thick all over the land, or buried in the mud , by the swirling wafers', enriching the land for a' vegetable growth never witnessed by man until ( found in the coal deposits. The earth was not yet fit for j liabitation of man and even to Ihis day, in many places, where he marl beds of sea shell and fish aones are thick, the water stinks ind. Is unfit to drink. But I want you to go across Bee Bee, at Alison's or Godfrey's ferry, ind see ifie mifes of sand,hill] low fhe waters piled them jn hills ind valleys for over a mile back rom the river swamp.
