WEDNESDAY, FEB. 10, '92. The Death of Spurgeon. -'?ASTOXS January 31 -Mr. Spur? geon died shortly after ll o'clock to? night. Mr. Spurgeons end vas painless. Ile remained unconscious to the last. His wife, Pr. Fits-Henry and Miss Thenn, were present when he died. Mr. Spurgeon^ body will be taken lo England for burial. Mrs. Spur? geon bears her aSl:ctioo bravely. " There are not many people In civiliz? ed fends who have sot heard of Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the famous. Lon? don preacher. Mr. Spurgeon has fceen for thirty years the most popa ; te man ia the English pulpit, and he could gather around him in a few .honra7 notice a congregation of 10,000 la nay part of England. * Mr. Spurgeons great grandfather, %tt grandfather, his father and his brother al! were preacheis Preach? ing ran iu the blood like wooden legs. Charles Haddon Spurgeon was born ?in a little village called Kelredon; in Essex, 10th of Jone, 1835. When quite a little boy he was accustomed to read the Scriptures at family wor? ship? and if report speaks truly he would ask more questions in a day ?han seven theologians could answer in a year. When Charles was 7 years old th,e Spurgeons went to live at Colchester, bat Charles, who was now proving himself to be a diligent scholar, spent *H his vacations at his grandfather's parsonage at Stam terne. At the age of 15 we find young Spurgeon a genuine Puritan ; he be? came the subject-we might have ?aid the victim-of that religious des fKHideccy that we find playing so large a part in the early religious experiences of such men as Cromwell, George Fox, John Banyan and men of that order. He went from church | Co church, but found no rest for his j .agonized spirit. At last the day upon his sadness, a plain sim? ple appeal from a Methodist pulpit in which the preacher rung the changes on this phrase ; * 'Look ! Look ! Look ! ?nd live ?' touched the soul of yoong Spurgeon, and from that hour he declares his soul was free. Tn is was his conversion. Young converts to whom conversion comes in such marked and nxed ways are always enthusiastic, and this young conveit who had "looked" and had then and - t?tere received new Iire was most enthusiastic The fire burned and his musical tongue was soon loosened. The nonconformists were strong in Cambridge.-h ire, and i:: almost every village and hamlet the dissenting chapel was to be found, and the pul? pits of these same meeting houses were supplie d by laymen called "local preachers " Many of the most famous ?ngf?sb preachers began their work aa exhort ere m these village chapels. Toung Charles Spurgeon wai soon in .great request. Before he bad reach? ed his 18th year his fame had gone ?through Cambridgeshire as the won tderful "hoy preacher." The.year 1851 was the year of the ?great; exhibition in Hyde Park, and this y^ar young Charles Spurgeon cune v?tor of the Baptist Church at sach. His father and grand: ^auie; vere Congregational ministers, ?bat lao independence of mimi which ritas all aiu?.?g characterized the pastor .?o? the Tabernacle revealed itself in -early growth, and after personal and /-careful examination he became con? vinced that on the question of baptism *tbe Baptists were right and the &?n _grpgatioual?8ts wrong. He there? fore joined the Baptist denomination. "The church at Waterbeach was small, its members poor, but Dr. Spurgeon ?1 ways speaks of his brief pastorate there as one of the greenest in his ??emory, and there is no doubt that Hhe time spent amongst these quiet villagers was time well spent, for the ?rowing pastor was laying in stores of experience that would fit aim eminently for his future tasks Mr. Spurgeon was a blessing to Water . beach, and Waterbeach was a bless? ing to him. In December, 1853-after two and 4 half years of the pleasant Water 'beach life-Mr* Spurgeon went to Loudon and preached his first sermon in the metropolis in New Park Street Chanel, an ancient Baptist meeting noose eu the south side of the Thames. lt was exceedingly pleasant to hear John Spurgeon tell the story of his ii rat wintry Sunday in London. He little thought-who could have fore? told ?-what a remarkable career was being inaugurated that morning. Thc text of the sermon was from James i, lt : **^very good and every gift is from above and cometh down from the Father of Light, with whom there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."' The sermon struck fire where fire had not been felt for many years. Mr. Spurgeons popularity was sudden, widespread and unexampled. No wonder that men said this popu? larity could not last. Its permanence ?ras to ali appearance impassible, and the whole wonder of this great preacher's career is, not that he be? came popular, but that he maintained that popularity through thirty trying years. The little chapel that seated one thousand two hundred people was soon too small ; it was enlarged to its utmost capacity, and then in six weeks was totally inadequate to hold tthe crowds that thronged to hear the young preacher. At last Exeter Hall was hiied for the morning services, and that great edifice, holding five thousand, was crowded from door to ceiling. And now the general talk in London was about the Exeter Hall preacher and the one question that everybody asked everybody else was : "Have you heard Spurgeon ?" The newspapers took him up, lashed him with scorn or covered him with praise, just as the fit took the religious editpr. The bitterest, the most cruel things were said, things calculated to wound and pain to the Uttermost, a man who was giving full proof that he was not for the defence bf the Gospel and for the good of the souls of men. The so called "reli? gious press" was most severe, and many men who dipped their quills in bitterness and wrote of "the Mounte? bank of Exeter Hall," "Punch in the Pulpit ' and the like, now fall down ai the feet of "our dear Brother Spur g n?" and h<*? for a good word from him as if for de.;i life, till the country soon became interested in "Spur? geon/9 It was soon manifest that a large permanent building must be secured for the work of the church of j which Mr. Spurgeon was pastor. A sad accident occurred about this time that filled Mr. Spurgeon with unutterable grief, and it is questiona? ble if he has ever wholly recovered from the terrible shock. In October, 1856, the Surrey music hall, capable of holding 10,000 people, was en? gaged for Sunday morning services. On the 19th of October the first ser? vice was begun, wheu some evil-dis? posed wretch raised an alarm of fire. There was of course a terrible stam? pede and in the rush eight persons lost their lives and twenty-nine others were seriously trampled and wound? ed. The enemies of Mr. Spurgeon made capital even out of this disas ter. On the 16th of August, 1859, Sam? uel Morton Peto laid the foundation stone of the tabernacle, which now adorns the great southern thouough fare known as Chaplain road. The marvellous edifice is a model in many respects. It is not as omate or tasteful as modem lovers of art could desire, but Mr Spurgeon insisted ou four points. It was to have plenty of light, plenty of fresh air ; every? body was to be' able to see the preacher, and it was to be opened free of debt. It will hold 7,00?) peo? ple with comfort and safety ; there were often 8,000 to 8,600 gathered within its wall3. It cost $137,078, 55, and was opened in May, 1860, free of debt. And from that day un? til Mr. Spurgeon's last illness the tabernacle has been crowded twice every Sunday, except on those few occasions when it has been closed for repairs. During all those years Mr. Spurgeon's morning sermon has been printed, and the volumes, now twen? ty-seven in number, containing over 1,400 sermons, form a little library in themselves. Besides the twenty six large vol? umes of sermons, every one of which he has revised, there is his "Treasury of David," a massive work of six large quarto volumes, which repre? sent a most marvellous amount of re? search, to say nothing of the original matter. The best critics of English literature award his book a place in [the front rank of Biblical exposition, j Besides this Mr. Spurgeon edited, ; "The.Sword and Trowel" for seven teen years, a monthly magazine that may be described as amongst the "livest" of religions magazines. Mr. Spurgeon published "John Plowman's Talk," of which 180,000 were sold in twelve months. Ile has published also "Morning by Morn? ing," "Evening by Evening, "The Saint and the Savior," "Types and Emblems," "Lectures to my Stu? dents/' four volumes, and many other smaller works. Georgia Farmers in a Fix.ff AUGUSTA, Ga., Feb. 2-Augusta banks are not loaning farmers any more money on their country real estate. The Twitty bill that the last Georgia Legislature made a law causes all the trouble The new law is that all obligations to pay attor? neys' fees ot? any note or other evi? dence of indebtedness, in addition to the rate of interest specified therein, is declared to be absolutely void, and no court has the power to enforce such a contract or agreement to pay snell attorneys' fees unless a plea be filed by the defendant and not sus? tained. Under the law, if the banks loan money to farmers ou their real estate and the farmer does not meet his obligation when it falls due the bank will have to pay the lawyer's fee of 10 per cent, to get judgment against the borrower in court and collect the account This expense, the banks, believe, should fall upon the man who defaults, sud not upon tiie bank ; and unless the law is re? pealed, farmers will find it a difficult matter to raise money on their coun? try property. Unless the law is re? voked the poor farmers will be in worse condition than now.-Columbia State. Burned to Death.

She then ran and covered herself up in bed, thinking by that means to smother the flames, but it only added fuel to it, and she was burned so badly before assist? ance couM reach her that site died tiiat night about 10 o'clock.

And at the Auditor's office in Sumter on all other days, from Jan. 1st until February 20th, inclusive. The law requires that ali persons owning property, or in any wise having charge of such property, eitber as agent, 'husband, guardian, trustee, executor, administrator, &c, return the sime under oath to the Auditor, who requests all persons to be promp t in making their returns and save the 50 per cent, penalty, which will be added to the property valuation of s'? persons who fail to make returns within the time pre? scribed by law. A good way for the taxpayer who has much property to retara, is to make a mem? orandum of the number of horses, cattle, mules, sheep and goats, hogs, watches, or? gans and pianos, buggies wagons and car? riages, dose, merchandise, machinery, mon? eys, notes and accounts (abore indebtedness) furniture, ?cc, which will save the taxpayer time and enable the assessor to progress in the work. Taxpayers reurn what they own on the first day of January, 1892. Assessors and taxpayers will enter the first given name of the taxpayer in full, also make a separate return for each party for the township the property is in, and where the taxpayer owns realty to insert the postoffice as their place of residence, and those who only own personal property to give the party's name who owns the land they live on as their residence, which aids the taxpayer as well as the c*unty treasurer in making the collection and preventing errors. Every male citizen between the ages of twenty-one and fifty years on the first day of January, 1892, except those incapable of earning a support from being maimed, or from other causes, shall be deemed taxable polls. All returns that are made after the twen? tieth day of February next have to be placed oo the additional list and fifty per cent, pen? alty added thereto, unless prevented by sick? ness or out of the co un ; v during the time of listing. Not knowing the time of listing is no excuse. And all owners of rea! estate might do their tenants who cannot rend or take a newspaper, a great favor by making their returns or telling th stn th- time of list? ing, and that if they fail to make their re? turns in time that the valuation has to be increased fifty per cent, unless they have a good excuse. The assessing and collecting of taxes is all done now in the same year, and we have to aggregate the cumber and vilue of al! the horses, cattle, mules, ?fcc., as well as the acres of land, lots and buildings and their value, that there is in the county, and have same on file in the Comptroller General's office by the thirtieth day o? June each year. And from that time to the firet day of October each year the auditor's and treasurer's duplicate has to be completed and an abstract of the j work in the Comptroller's office by that time. ' which will show at a glance that the auditor has no time to take in returns, or do any? thing else much, between the first day of March and the first day of October each year, but work on the books and blanks. There? fore hope that all taxpayers will do us the favor of making their returns in time. PETER THOMAS, Dec 9. Auditor Sumter County MACHINE SHOP.
