(By William WHlis Boddie.) The Rev. Samuel Kennedy, a native of Ireland, was engaged in 1783 to supply the Williamsburg Presbyterian Congregation as minister for a term of three years. Mr. Kennedy denied the divinity of Jesus Christ and preached Socinianism. This doctrine was abhorrent to a part of the congregation. When Mr. Kennedy's term of three years expired, a congregational meeting was held in the matter at which the majority sustained the minister and voted to retain his services. The minority withdrew from the old church and built another church across the road about fifty yards f rom the other. ^ 1 ine minority were so nvumw umi such doctrine as Mr. Kennedy preached should profane the church that their fathers had helped to build that this faction met one night at the old church, and with about 100 slaves, tore down and removed every part of the old church, and carried its pulpit about three miles from Kingstree and hid it in Samuel McClelland *s barn. The majority sued the secessionists in the courts at Georgetown and they were required to pay for the destruction of the old church. Then the minority abandoned its church on the original plot and built the Bethel church about half a mile Southeast on the Cedar Swamp road. The Bethel church faction was controlled by the Friersons, Witherspoons and Ervins, while the majority element in charge of the old church and its rights and privileges was under the leadership of the Bradleys, McClarys and McConnells. These two factions were hostile for many years. Finally, in 1808, a large number of the Beth el church migrated to Maury county, Tennessee, taking their min ister with them and founding there the Zion church. What was left of the congregation of the Bethel church roaintai ed an organization until 1828, when a a joint meeting of the congregate -.is of the original church and the Bet el church a union was effected and the Williamsburg Presbyterian church alone encompassed the field. These are the minutes of that memorable meeting, as taken from the original records: "At a meeting of the members of the old Presbyterian church of Williamsburgh and the members of the Bethel church, held at the old church on Tuesday the 17th June, 1828, there being a majority of the members of each congregation present, tney proceeded to business. John McClary, Esqr., was appointed chairman, and R. G. Ferrell secretary. "1st. Resolved that these two churches become united, that the two become one congregation and they worship in the old or original church. "2nd. Resolved that this congregation join with the Indiantown congregation and employ a minister, and the minister so employed preach one half of his time in this church and the other half in the Indiantown church. "3rd. Resolved that Mr. William Wilson, Col. William Salters, Samuel E. Fulton, Isaac Nelson, Sen., Dr. James Bradley and H. D. Shaw be a committee to inform the Revd. John McKee Ervin that we wish to give him a call as our pastor for one half of his time. "4th. Resolved that the members ol the congregation do meet at the church on the last Saturday in this month to regulate business of the church. "At a meeting of the members of the church on Saturday the 28th of June, 1828, the committee appointed to say to the Revd. John M. Ervin that we intend giving him a call as our pastor report that they have done so and that they think there is a prospect of our getting him. "1st. Resolved that H. D. Shaw, Dr. James Bradley, Samuel E. Fulton, Thomas Dukes, and Robert G. Ferrell be appointed a committee to meet the Indiantown committee to give the Revd. John McKee Ervin a call as our minister. "2nd. Resolved that Robert Strong, Dan L. Frierson, and Isaac Nelson, Sen., be a committee to regulate the seats of the church and to make what repairs to the church they may fir.d necessary. "3rd. Resolved that the committee appointed to meet the Indiantown committee be authorized to inform the Revd. John M. Ervin that this j congregation will give him three hundred and fifty dollars for one half of his time, with the use of the Glebe lands of this church should he prefer living on them to living at Indiantown. "4th. Resolved that the salary of the minister be raised by subscription. "5th. Resolved that the committee appointed to regulate the seats of the church cause all seats to be numbered and that the numbers be all thrown into some place and the heads of families draw their numbers, with ovoonflnn tViof \rVierp families CllJO VAVV|/V*Vtl) V?M?* ?MV-W ?? ?are small the committee shall reserve to themselves the power of putting two in one seat. "6th. Resolved that Col. William Salters, Cap! Wm. S. Brockington, Isaac Nelson, Jr., and D. R. McClary be trustees for said congregation. "7th. Resolved that Capt. Isaac Nelson be appointed treasurer. "8th. Resolved that the trustees be authorized to invite a minister to preach occasionally in our church until the Revd. John M. Ervin takes charge of the congregation, should he accept our call, and that the ministers so invited by the trustees be paid by the congregation five dollars for each sermon preached by them.

The challenge came from the state of Maryland where Oscar Leser and others sought to prevent the registration of two women as qualified voters in Baltimore. Charles W. Morse, New York shipbuilder, his three sons, Edvin, Benjamin and Harry Morse, and eight others alleged to have been associated with him in connection with war-time shipping contracts, were indicted in Washington Monday by the federal grand jury on charges of "conspiracy to defraud" the United States and the Eme-gency Fleet Corporation. Princess Mary, the only daughter ol King George and Queen Mary, was married Tuesday in London to Viscount Lascelles with all the pomp and dignity befitting a royal wedding. The ceremony began at Westminister Abbey at 11:30 o'clock. Soon thereafter the couple were pronounced man and wife while the chimqs of Westminister rang out the happy message and vast crowds gave tumultuous greetings. The tie-up in the Columbia street car line is still unrelieved, with the management of the traction company and the striking employes maneuvering for position. The strike has lasted since February 15 and the end is nnt vpt in siffht. The latest state ment is from the company, which says that it will test the constitutionality of the Compulsory Arbitration Act recently passed by the General Assembly. This act was invoked by the strikers several days ago. Samuel Arthur Derieux, aged 40, of the staff of The American Magazine, died early last Saturday in NewYork city of appendicitis. He was a son of the Rev. William Thomas Derieux of Columbia; a student of Wofford college, Spartanburg, S. C., for two years, and was graduated from Richmond (Va.) college in 1904 with the degree of bachelor of arts. He also studied at Johns Hopkins from 1906 to 1908 and received the degree of master of arts from the University of Chicago in 1910. In late years he contributed many excellent dog stories to the American Magazine. O ' Get Weevil Poisoning Materials Early. In connection with recent boll wee\il letters issued by this office I wish to bring to your attention a letter issued by Dr. B. R. Coad, Bureau of Entomology, United States Department of Agriculture, In Charge Delta Laboratory, Tallulah, La. (Government boll weevil investigational laboratory) under date' of February 1st, 1922, reading as follows: A rather peculiar situation has developed which promises disappointment to many cotton fanners who wish to poison the weevil this year, if some steps are not taken to remedy it. For the past several yean various machine manufacturers have been taking up the production of cotton dusting machinery and have turned out limited numbers for the trade a w hich developed. However, they have C always been confronted with the fact A that many farmers would defer pur- C chasing dusting materials in some vain hope that the weevils were not to be abundant until so late that it was impossible to secure deliveries in time for best results. During the past several months we have been can- i< vasing the results the farmers se- r cured last year^.nd find too frequent * repetition of a statement to the ef- f feet that the machines were delayed o in shipment and did not reach them s until a few days or a few weeks later ^ than the time they were really needeo, ? and consequently poisoning became more expensive and less successful. ' Ii is now quite obvious that the nprmg of 1922 is going to see an abnormally heavy emergence of weevils, and while this may be somewhat offset by summer weather conditions, there is no excuse for delay in securing equipment if you are going to poison I the weevils this year. Furthermore, the manufacturers have no means of anticipating just what the demand is going to be and naturally do not feel justified in building a large num-' ber of machines on a gninoie. The consequence is that the machine production will probably more or less keep pace with visible business and rtaM ie little nmSDPrt of a sumlus ! ' friivi V iu ??'

The price of the various machines has already been announced ; for the year. The various one-mule , machines are all between $100 and $125, while the two-mule machines 1 practically all range between $250 j and $300.
