" Death has been busy at his appointed york. u

DEPARTED this life. on Friday the 10Th
instnnt. in her 29th year. MRs. CLAUDIA C,
BUTLER, rclict Of the late MIR. William NJ. But.
Ter. and daughter Of the Rev. DIR. Johnson ol
this place. In the year 1881, she was baptized
and became member of the Edgefeld Baptist
Church, in connection with which she con.
timed until translated 10 the church above.
During her illness, she was calm and com.
posed, putting her trust in Christ; and waiting
in the spirit of resignation her last great change
which, she was firmly persuaded from the frs,
Of her disease. would be its result. 1t was
not however until Friday the week before her
death. that she was favored with the special
manifestation of divine mercy, which she had
ardently desired. Bu, on that day was her
spirit made joyful in her Heavenly Father 3
love. Filled with adoring gratitude, she gave
ntterance to her feelings in the following hymn:
"Ah, shall soon he dying,
Time swiftly glides away;
Blu, OH my Lord relying.
| hail the happy day
Her memory failing her at this point, it was as
sisted by friend, and, by his aid. with her eyes
directed towards Heaven. and in holy iervor of
spirit. she went through The whole hymn, and
then began the following:
"Ea,th has engrossd my love too long!
'Ts time lift mine eyes
Upwards, Dear Father to thy throne,
And 10 my native skies"
She went through this in the same manner
that she had done the preceding one. Having
finished them both, she said
40! How love JESUS! Whatcomfrt / feel.
am not deceived /" And then, being exhans
ed by the effort she had made, she fell into
sleep.
From this period, until the succeeding Fri
day, she remained in tranquil happy frame
ofimind expressing, from time to time, the ah'
sence Of NIL fear Of death. her trust III Christ,
aud the full assurance of hope. that she would
snon depart and he with llei God and Saviour.
On this day, about the SAM hour with that. on
which on the previous Friday she had been so
happily visited of God her disease seized upon
her brain, and she became delirious. But
amidst all her alterations of mind. Christ and
Heaoen-Chrisf and HeaDcn-were the Ire.
qnent subjects Of remark. Wild and nco-
herent as her expressions often were, vet there
was an evident abiding impression on her
mind, that she WAS connected with Christ and
Heaven. And now is her freed happy spirit
realizing the bessedness of an interest in these
glorious subjects. Grace has triumphed, and
10 iv Divine author be all the glory.

The DEMOCRATIC PRESS OF SoUTH CARROLL

inaugural of the Southern Chronicle:
'.The opposition in this State have had the
entire control Of the political press, and, with
one honorable exception, have only let IN light
TO tile people in such portions as best suited
them. prescribing distinguished individuals who
would not subscribe TO their standard of ortho-
doxy, and disappearing their acts and opin-
ions, without suffering them TO speak tor them
selves through the only medium by which they
could gain access to their fellow citizens To
remedy this evil is another object for which
this press has been established
Surely the editors Of the Chronicle, must
have written the above from lack OF information.
They have made grave and sweeping charge
against nearly all the political press Of South
Carolina. We canmo, helieve that the respect
able gentlemen who conduct the press in this
State, are afraid to let the opinions OF the
Wings, and of General Harrison, such US they
are, be known to their readers. With regard
to ourselves, the charge Of prescribing any man,
for mere opinion's sake. is utterly unfonnded.
We have never hesitated to publish the opin-
ions OF distinguished individuals of the Wing
party of this State, when the slightest intimation
was given us, that they desired us to DO So
Unsolicited, we have spread before our readers,
the Address OF Gen. Thompson to his consttu-
ents, the letter Of Col. Preston to the citizens
Of Charleston, the resolutions of the Hamburg
meeting at Hamburg, and other things elnanat-
ing from the Wings. Ourpaper has ever been
open to their communications. We have even
published some Of their selections, and have
only excluded one or two long newspaper arti-
cles, which they sent us. We have acted III
the same manner towards the Democrats
We and the former Editors Of this paper, have
ever manifested the greatest forbearance and
respect towards the Wing leaders in S. Caro-
lima. We have never spoken Of them harshy
or unbecomingly. though we have not hesltated
to condemn their political conduct From 1887
to the present time the editors of the Advertiser
have never refused, when requested. to publish
the speeches Of prominent Vhigs amongst U.S.
For proof of this. we refer 10 our file. We
deem it unnecessary to say any more at pres
ent.
