Williamsburg and Bethel Unite.
(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

E. Fulton, Isaac Nelson, Sen., Dr.

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.

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

"8th. Resolved that the trustees

for each sermon preached by them.
"Adjourned. R. G. Ferrell, Secretary."

The constitutionality of the woman's
suffrage or Nineteenth Amendment,
was unanimously sustained Monday
by the supreme court in a decision
rendered by Justice Brandeis.
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,

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

dtnly deciding to poison at the last
moment. Our advice is decide now j ]
whether or not you are going to pre-! I
pare to poison, and if you decide to j 1
do so, immediately make arrange- J (
ments for your supply of dusting i
materials. 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. These prices are fairly |
reasonable in proportion to the pies- 1
ent value of cotton, and there is lit- <
tie liklihood of reduction. Certainly j
not sufficient probability to warrant
delaying the purchase of equipment, i
Considering all features of the s|t- 1
