that she is a great-great-granddaughter

That her great-grand-father, Capt.
Josiah Culberteon, married a daughter
of Col. John Thomas. That
Capt. Josiah Culberteon was the
man who killed the notorious Tory
Sam Brown. A complete list and
history of the marriages of the descendants
of this noble old hero
would be highly interesting to the
t readers of The Union Times, and '

the trouble and time to write it. |

ailed to the mark, he had the drv

have examined the coat, anyliody

happens, that the price of an article
fixes the value with those who are
no judge of goods. Like the Dutch,

"I want a fine hat." "Alright,"

Death of Nr. P. H. Counts.
Mr. F. H. Counts, after a long
and painful illness, died at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Davis Gregory,
six miles south of this city, Wednesday
morning at 7:10 oclock. The
interment was made in the old
Presbyterian cemetery Wednesday
afternoon at 3.30 o'clock, Rev. L.
M. Rice officiating. Mr. Counts is
survived by four brothers and one
sister, two daughters, Mrs. Davis
Gregory of this county and Mrs.
Fred Holland of Atlanta, Ga., and
four 6ons, William and Jeter, of
Atlanta, Ga., Charles and Hammett
of this county.
Mr. Counts came to Union al>out
the year 1865 having been promoted
from depot agent at Alston to treasurer
ami auditor of the Spartanburg
and Union railrnad. He served for
a number of years in this capacity
and was afterwards given the position
of agent at this place which ho
hold for alwut twenty years and
was succeed**! by C'apt. W. D. Wilkins.
He afterwards was employed
K\7 f Kn TTnirtM
"j ? >> wiiiiiii tuiiiAJii niiiin its t'.oiMMi
warehouse agent and bookkeeper.
Ho has been in very feoblo health
for several years past and consequently
was compelled to retire
from all business and has since lived
with his daughter Mrs. Davis
Gregory.
Mr. Counts was a most efficient
business man, one of the best railroad
agents that has ever served at
this place and his ability was fully
recognized as shown by the length '
of time he was retained in the service.
He had many warm friends,
although ho was a man who gave
but little time to social pleasures.
He married Miss Hinnant of Fairfield
county a short timo before he
came to live here. She was a most
estimable and much lieloved woman
and predeceased him quite a number
of years. The sympathy of the
community is with those children
and relatives who survive him.
By Agreement between counsel
in the dispensary cases now In-fore
the supreme court from Greenville,
Spartanburg, Newberry, Oeonee
and Pickens county, all were postponed
until January 8, 190G, at
which time argument will be* made
lHiforo the supreme court upon the
constitutionality of the Brice law.
The State will be represented by
the Attorney General in addition*
to the attorneys already employed
by the prohibitionists.
John Wesley and the Pounder
ot the Methodist
Episcopal Church.
Mr. Editor: The name of John
Wesley stands high on the list of
great and noble men.* Zeiny, the
founder of thw Methodist Episcopal
church, his followers as well as
others will ever love and cherish his
memtfry. I suppose comparatively
few, even of his followers, are aware
that he was a doctor. Notwithstanding
his numerous religious
duties as & minister, travelling to
and fro warning sinners to flee from
the wrath to come, yet, like his
Savior, he would turn aside to
minister to the wants of sick and |
suffering. We have no account of
his attending a medical college and, |
may have been termed a quack, but
being blessed with a large store of
common sense he was enabled to |
leaui the value of simple vegetable
and hygienic remedies. He wrote |
a medical work, "Trinitive Physic"
or 4'An Easy and Natural Method
of Curing Most Diseases." This ,
hook passed through thirty-four |
editions. The first was published i
in *1747. How much his success !
ill the ministry and religious work |
was duo to his skill in relieving the
suffering in l>ody and mind eternity
alone can reveal. Might not all
ministers increase their usefulness
by following the examples not only
of Wesley but of the Savior and Ilis
disciples. I wish to make some i
extracts from the introduction to I
Mr. Wesley's book. He says:
4 "As theories increased, simple
remedies were more and more disregarded
and disused, till in the
course of yo^irs the greater part of
them were forgotten, at least in the J
politer nations. In the room of
those abundance of new ones were i
introduced by reasoning, speculative
men, and those more and more
difficult to be applied, sis lx*ing
more remote from common observation.
Hence rules for the application
of these, and medical books,
were immensely multiplied, till at
length physic became an abstruse
science, quite out of the reach of
ordinary men. Physicians now began
to be held in admiration, as
persons who were something more
than human. And profit attended
their employ, as well as honor, so
.lint tlwiv linil linui tiun

reasons for keeping the hulk of
mankind at a distance that they
might not pry into the mysteries of
the profession. To this end they
increased those difficulties hy design
which began hy accident. They
filh-d their writings with an ahund- ?
anee of technical terms, utterly unintelligible
to plain men. They
affected to deliver their rules and
to reason upon them in an abstruse
and philosophic manner. They
introduced into practice abundance
of compound medicines, consisting
of so many ingredients that it was
scarce poss:' le for common people
to know which it was that wrought
the cure; abundance exotics, neither
the names nor nature of which
their own countrymen understood;
of chemicals, such as they neither
had skill, nor time, nor fortune to
prepare; yea, and of dangerous
ones, such as they could not use
without hazarding life, but by the
advice of a physician, and thus both
their honor and giin were secured,
a vast majority of mankind In-ing
utterly cut off from either helping
themselves or their neighbors, or
once daring to attempt it. Is it not
needful in the highest degree to
rescue men from the jaws of destruction?
^From wasting their
fortunes (on drugs) as thousands
have done and continue to do dailv?
From pining away in sickness and
pain, either through the ignorance
or dishonesty of physicians? Yen,
and many times throwing away
their lives, after their health, time
and substance. Is it inquired, arcthere
not books enough already on "
every part of the art of medicine?
Yes, too many, ten times over,
considering how little to the purposo
the far greater part of them speak.
But besides this this, they are too
dear for poor men to buy, and too
hard for plain men to understand.
