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.
NINETY-SIX, Feb. 2.-Mrs. Demp?
sey Adams, a widow lady, about six?
ty-five years of age, who lived about
twelve miles below here, in Edgefield
county, was barned to death about 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon. She
was in the house, alone, when her
dress caught fire. 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. She
was well thought of and a lady of |
some means.

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.
