The Fairfield herald. [volume] (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1849-1876, 1874-09-23


showing that "Soutl Carolina had
made the Un;on." Flo dwelt upon her
past great mon, and then came to
the present. lIe then spoke iu stir :.
ring terms of tho glorious future
awaiting regcnerate South Carolina,
when tho muscle of her sous shall
have been utilized GU tho farm, in tho
factory and in tho shop, and whom
their Intellect shall have been ex-
pended by education aud culture.
Col. Thomss fully maintained tho
high reputation he has already
achieved as an orator, aud When h.
was fully warmed up on hia topic,
was greeted time aud again with Gu.
,husiastic applause.
Wear pleased to learn from Col.
Il. that tho prospects Of tho Carolina
Military Institute arc remarkably
promising. Wc.'wish him great suo-
cess in his noble field vf labor.
sN5' Wo werc informed by Capt.
Ogden, commanding the p ost iu CO.
lumbia, that fairfield is Que of tho
counties feared by IIDDest John
Patterson, and that Il ompany o
troops will probably b, stationed in
Wiunoboro.
This explains Pstterson's fears.
The people Of Fairfield have an in
tense disgust and hatred f,r P.tter.
son, who came here to steal, and has
been stealing ever since. And the
colored people have not much more
love for Honest John than the wtitos.
Fairfield way there bo dangerous to
Patterson. But, as to the races, we
maintain, with pleasure, that the
feeling between them, with but few
exceptions, is that Of friendship. We
will have no c.,llision, unless they be
incitod by few designing persons
for 'hcir own benefit. The law must
have its full course in Fairfield.
For these reasons We look upon the
presence of troops only social and
linaucial light. The officers in Co.
lumbia are set of gentlemen aud
highly esteemed by the citizens of
Columbia. They will be an acqui.
sition to Winnsboro.
For che benefit Of our merchants
we asked Capt Ogden whether his
troops had money. He replied that
they now have two mon tbs pay due
them. Their presence in the Boro
with theic pockets full Of III ney
would be good thing financially.
We therefore request the command
ant to send up that Company
forthwith before they draw their
pay. Let US have pcuce.
DEDICATION or THE NEW MEruo-
DIST CnURCn.-Oh Sunday last, tho
now Methodist Church of this place
was dedicated to divine worship by
Rev. Whitefoord Smith d. D , Prof.
of Belle Lettrcs in Wufford College.
Tac appropriate 'dcdicatory services
we're preceded by Il sermon from the
Reverend Doctor, Of unu,ual power
! and pathos. lie held the largo audi :
encc assembled on the occasion, en-
tranced in contemplation Of the ON
niprescnce Of God, the univerouIity 0,
the appointments for his worship.
and tho spirituality of acceptable dc.
votion. DR.. Smith, on this occasion,
fully sustained tie reputation ho hat
enjoyed for geLcrItlon past, Us one
# tic finest pulpit orators Of the
land.
The day Was improved with other
tut or cst!ng e,cIci<ts IN the church
The Sunday School children of tho
afternoon will long remember the
moral lessons drawn from the "nettle
bed" by Prof. Carlisle, us we'll as
that drawn from the "cat bird" b,
Dr.. Smith.
We cannot omit brief notice oil
! the church edilice. This is anothe,
ornament to ourtown. Its admirable
proportions, ITS mechanical porfec
tions and the elegance Of its plans
appointments, all reflect the highest
encomium alike upon tho architect
builder and iiuisher. 1t is not say
lug too much for this building tha
it is IL gem. Great credit is due Mr.
Thos. Jordan for this piece Of per
fection. lie vas not only his own
architect, but general superintendep ri
Of the workmcn. hlurc than this
with noble generosity he has ad
vanrcd about two thirds of the entire
cost Of the building, besides giving i,
his personal attention for five or siA
months. We trust generous com
mnnity like ours, will not allow II
public benefit, such as a christian
church, to draw 50 heavily upon any
one man, but that it will come forth
speedily, liJeruily and refuud him
for tins advancement.
