MBssas. EprToas: I have lust seen
s copy q the Charlesson g6il yetss.
containing an extract from an edite-
rial of tho Augusta CAronicae and Sen
fi,aalY purporfing to be the substance
OF remarks made by me at q meeting
of the stockholders Of the Columbia
and Augusta Railroad Company, held
in the city of Augusta, last week,
together with certain editorial com
ments thereon. '',' .s.'.' =
Hearing, on the, morning of the
meeting, it was currently reported
TINT the work on the road had stop
ped. and that the decision OF Judge
Moses was referred to us, I took occa-
sion TO state that the case before
Judge Moses was an application on
behalf of the South Caroiinu Rail
road Company for certiorari, to Or
der tho City Council of Columbia to
certify the proceedings in a suit
decided by the Mayor to the
Circuit Court; that T did not think
the subject matter of the controversy
then properly before the Judge; and
that the Columbia and Augusta Rail-
road Company was not q party to the
suit; and. therefore, not bound by
the decision. I stated that I had
been informed that the Judge was q
stockholder and director of the South
Carolina Railroad Company. I stat
ed the facts as 1 understood them,
without drawing any inferences or de-
ductions. and had no notion or inten-
tion to do Judge Moses, or any other
person, any wrong; and, if made SEN
sible that [ have, l will gladly correct
it. I am for the first time informed
of the fact, as stated by the editor of
the Ne,os, that the City Council of
Columbia, is the Columbia and Au-
gusta Railroad.
The other remarks of the editor are
uncalled for and illogical. 1 trust
that am too we'll known for any one
to entertain the idea that I would
offer insult to the Judiciary of South
Carolina, or any member thereof. Its
ability, integrity and purity of char
acter. justly entitle it to the affection
and admiration of the country.

DIVISION OF PIcKENs DISTRICT.
The following petition, as we learn
from the Keowee Courier, of the 18th
inst, will be circulated and signed
for presentation to tho State Conven-
ton:
''To THE HONORABLE THE MEMBERS
OF THE STATE CONVENTION OF SOUTH
CAROLINA: The humble petition of
the undersigned, citizens of the Dis
trict of Pickens, respectfully showeth
to your honorable body, that the
District of Pickens comprises. as Is
well-known to your honorable body,
an area extending from the Saluda to
the Tugaloo River, q distance of
sixty miles, and from the Anderson
line to the North Carolina line, dis
tance of forty miles; and contains a
population, according to the last
State census, exceeding 10000, less
than 5000 Of whom are blacks; that
the body of this population resides
on the Tugaloo and Saluda, and'the
streams flowing respectively into
those rivers; and that, to reach the
Court House, the mass of the citi-
zens must travel from fifteen to thirty
miles, crossing for the greater length
of their way continual succession of
hills; that the village of Pickens con-
tains only thirteen families, with no
prospect Of permanent improvement:
that the country surrounding the
Court House for many miles being
extremely broken and barren and in
capable of supporting q village popu-
lation OF q few hundred, the town
can never prosper or afford tc ..is
poopie OF the District the advantages
of a central place of trade; that, in
the opinion of your petitioners, were
the Di'trict divided by the line sepa
rating The two militia regiments into
two Judicial Districts, a tiourishinp
town in the midst of u fertile and
populous region would spring up in
each, which would give new impetus
to the enterprise, and greatly pro-
mote the convenience, prosperity and
happiness of the people.
Therefore, your petitioners re-
spectfully pray that your honorable
body viii consider their interest, and
divide the said District into two Ju.
dicial and Election Districts" s@

Journal Of Health says:
"When a person faints away, in
stead of yelling out like savage, or
running to him to lift him up, lay
him at full length on his back on the
floor, loose the clothing, push the
crowd away, so as to allow the air to
reach him, and let him alone Dash
ing water over person in simple
fainting fit is a barbarity. The phi
losophy Of fainting fit is that the
heart fails to send the proper supply
of blood to the brain. If the per-
son is erect, that blood has to be
thrown up hill; but if lying down, it
has to be projected horizontally,
which requires less power, as is ap-

own vicinity, it ventures to name
Hamilton Fish, W. @. Bryant. Henry
Ward Beecher and Horace Greeley,
as men who would meet the Southern
representatives. in amicable disnna-

satisfactory results.
The measures, proposed by the

probation, from the date of their
emancipation, as we do of the more
intelligent white immigrants who
come among us from the despotisms
of the Old World; and then admit
the first generation on very small
property qualification; and in the
second generation. when majority
of heads of families will probably
have become property holders, make
the suffrage universal. Universal
amnesty is also proposed, and also
the adoption of several of the pro-
visions of the Confederate Constitu-
ton.
These suggestions, at the first
blush, all appear very feasible; but
we have little faith in national con-
ferences of an informal and unau-
thorized character. The Philadelphia
Convention of last year, whose buds
and blossoms. as exhibited in the
moving spectacle of Massachusetts
and South Carolina in loving en-
brace, promised such rich fruit,
proved to be utterly barren of fruit.
And this was when the simple "con-
stitutional amendment" was pending
before the South. Now the gap has
been immensely widened between the
two sections, and an informal confer
ence, such as that proposed by the
World, would be utterly powerless to
accomplish anything in the desirable
result aimed at.
The shortest way to reconciliation
and reunion is for Congress to open
that old document, commonly called
"the Constitution of the United
States" and read the last line or two
of the fifth article thereof, viz: "That
no State, without its consent, shall be
deprived of its equal suffrage in the
Senate" Let Congress do this, and
"govern itself accordingly" and it
will prove to be the most efficient
remedy for our present political de-

"A statement is published from o

Of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
which exhibits o, marvellous progress

some Of these statistics, as they win

our readers. " W., '-.,'7''y =
There are sixty-eight annual con-

crease has been obtained by extend

s,19se- s,9se of e the war 8 The new confer
ehees organized are Virginia and
North Carolina, Texas, Ge orgia and
Alabama. The records show, the
number Of travelling preachers to be

'412; local preachers s,9s0-an in

The number. Of churches Is IL 1913
, -an increase during the year of 676;
number of parsonages 3.570--an in
crease of 256. The total value of
these church edifces and rparsonages
is estimated at $41, OLE, ,47s- being an
increase for the year Of Sc, 097. GIT.
The increase in parsonage property
alone is nearly 81, 900, 900. The CEN
,tenary returns Of collections from
thirty seven conferences foot up a
total of $6,141.027. 1T is. estimated
that, when all the returns are in, the
amount will be over 81. .000, 600. The
reports from Sunday schools show o
very encouraging advance. There
are over 1000, 900 pupils, under, the
supervision Of about 175. 600 officers
and teachers. t..5iA
"A table is published, showing the
comparative progress OF the church
by decades from the year 1776. We
have not room for this table; but to
show the wonderful growth of the
denomination, would state that, in
1776, it had "a travelling preachers
and 4,92t members, and that, in
1866, it had 1875 traveling preachers
and a membership footing MP 1,O32,-

By the withdrawal and separation
of Southern conferences in 1914,
organizing the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, the M. e. Church
lost 1,345 travelling preachers and
495, ,288 members; and yet, so rapid
was the growth and increase Of the
church during the decade, that, at its
close, two years after the separation,
there was net gain of 654 preachers
and a lack of only 6,874 members of
making up the number lost.
We have no statistics of the M. E.
Church, South, which, when added
to the above figures, would doubtless
show Methodism to be one of the
most extensive OF the Christian
churches in this country. We hope
yet to see the two sectional branches
reunited, as it evidently would be
not only advantageous to the church,
but would be an advance step TO-
wards reconciliation between the peo-
pie. ,;'t,.
