The Edgefeld Advertiser says that
Judge Kershaw opened Court on Monday,
the 18th inst, at Edge6eld G. H., and the
whole appearance and atmosphere of the
Court room seemed as if purified by
lightning from heaven. 1t will be seen
from this that Carpenter has given up
the ghost, and the transformation under
the administration of the judicial Office
by Democrat is truly as gratifying as it
is great.

It is with sincere regret that the citi-
zens of Greenville will learn that the
question of the removal of the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary has been
settled, and that the next session OF the
institution will be opened in the city OF
Louisville, in the State of Kentucky.
This decision will deprive our place in
the winter time of quite a number OF
residents, who contributed socially, relig-
iously and financially to its prosperity.
The Seminary created an atmosphere for
good in the city and surrounding country
that no other institution can produce.
In consequence of its long location here,
the people in the country adjacent to our
city, have been accustomed to much
Bible instruction and expounding of the
book of Books, which they will now be
forced to relinquish. This feature is
great loss with our population. We have
been speaking of the labors of the Pro-
fessors and students of the Seminary in
connection with their studies. AS a
considerable part of the great loss to be
sustained in the foregoing removal, will
be the taking from our midst OF the
Professors of the Seminary. We cannot
adequately describe the feelings our peo-
pic will experience in giving up of those
giants in Theology, Christian practice
and exempli6cations of Bible teachings,
Drs. Broadus, Toy and Whitsitt. Their
highly moral and religious power in the
community as we'll as in the higher walks
of our social life, will be transferred to
that of the new field of the Seminary,
and thus will be realized one of the most
priced boons insured to us through the
presence of this school Of the prophets.
