COMPLAINTS that the true American
character is not understood by French
men should be fewer after this. The
veriest " Down Easter" not TO mention
the expansive Western cousin, has pro-
duced nothing more characteristic, or
which savers more Of The soil, than the
following fiction, which he who reads
may run over imam esteemed Partisan
contemporary. It's lady, ayoung and
opulent American, about to embark on
one Of those Mississippi steamers which
have the dangerous habit Of contsnding
in speed with any other boat that comes
along. Captain" says she, EN- bark
myself Give me the assurance that you
will not race :" IN ADAM" says he
with his hand on his manly heart, &"
give 1t to you !" An hour later another
steamer appears, which gains rapidly
upon them. She rushes to the captain.
Look, Captain Behold behold ="
es, madame.' But are you going
TO let them beat US ?" But, alas
what can / do, unless, indeed"
Well, but what ?" " Madame, ] am
out of wood, and know not with what to
fire up, unless take one of your chill
dren." All then take the fattest, but
for heavens sake be quick !"

says: Enclosed please find two grains

sprouts that you will find on them are the

They were each time dried of until there

MATCHES AND MEGA French paper
alarms the Paris people with a statement
that the metropolis is in danger of de
struction in consequence Of the theft Of
matches by mice. These necessary com
bustibles are carried off fand stored beneath
the flooring or behind base boards, where
they are liable to be ignited at any mo
'aent, ard the fire may smolder unsus-
sected until it bursts out. If city houses
ARE thus endangered, adds the Insurance
Wor'd, how much more so are rural
buildings, in which mice are more mum
erous. Barns especially are subject to
destruction from fire, and the utmost
caution against leaving matches in them
should be exercised. Probably many of
the mysterious barn-burnings may orig
mate in this way.

Early History of nroadawav Church.

10 the Presbyterians and many others scat
tered all over the County, to review with us
portion Of the early history OF broadway
Presbyterian Church, and in order to pro-
| woke discussion among those who may be
well informed, to the end that the Church
| may obtain better history OF the primitive
churches OF this denomination hereby
make this proposition: that Broadaway
Presbyterian Church is the first of that de-
nomination founded in the upper division
| of this State, or, rs usually stated, upper
South Carolina
According to the testimony of the Rev.
Hugh Wilson, handed down to us by the
hey. William Carlisle now living al Ander.
son G. H., and about 81 years of age. Broad
away Church WIS located in the year 1877,
near Nenl's Creek, seven miles southeast of
Anderson c. H., by the Rev. Robert McLin
or Rev. Mr.. Gilliland. The first elders
were Rob't Telfori, the grandfather of Rev.
"m Telford, Of Florida, Capt. John War.
mock, an officer in the Revolutionary War,
and Rob't Dowdle. Capt. Gobt Willis was
Clerk of the Church, and perhaps an elder.
The families constituting this Church ut
first were the Warnocks, Erskines, Telfords,
Dobbinscs, Thompsons, Todds, Browns, and
Others.
The Church was supplied from its organ
ration up to 1901 for the most part BY Reys
McLin ana Gilliland. Rev. William II.
Barr, ID. d., of Abbeville, served the Church
for sometime, after which the Church was
served by the Rev. Richard b. Cater up to
about 1916, and perhaps longer ard from
1916 to 1929 by the Rev Aaron Foster
Anthony w. Ross and David Humphreys
from 1929 to 1858 by the Rev. William
Carlisle, who preached his first :crmon to
this Church on the first Sabbath in Nav.
1920.
This Church was removed to Bclton in
1852. Since 1858 the Church has had but
little supply, and for several years passed
none; and the question here arises Will
rresbytery allow this common mother to
go down, or will she do something to resus.
citate her? AS Virginia is the mother of
States, so broadway, in this section, is the
mother of Churches At this time she has
but mere handful Of members, but one
elder. Thomas Erskinc, and he IS about "A
years of age.
Will our Baptist brethren tell us whether
Neals Creek Church is not the Oldest, or
nearly so. of that denomination in upper
South Carolina. This Church and Broada.
way were both located in the same neipL
borhood. Broadway Church was located
before the South Carolina Presbytery wss
formed.

Examination of Public School Teachers.

The examination of teachers for the pub.
lie schools this year has been conducted by
the Board Of County Examiners, and out
of some sixty applicants forty odd have
stood successful examination and received
certificates enabling them to teach first
grade schools AS some persons may not
understand the principle upon which this
examination is conducted it may be we'll to
state that the County Examiners have
nothing to do with the questions nor the
values assigned to them. This is done by
the State Superintendent of Education. and
the same questions are sent to every County
Ill the State. To each Of these questions
the State superintendent assigns its value,
and all that the County Examiners have to
do is to see if the questions are answ ed
correctly. If the applicant answers more
than eight.tenths 1--WE believe it isl of the
questions properly, he passes, but not other
wise. The present County Board has been
efficient and faithful, yet lenient, in the dis.
charge Of their duties, and we take the lib
erty of suggesting to any persons who have
not obtained certificates that they should not
be discouraged. BY procuring a set of the
new text books and studying up they will
be nble to succeed OH the next examination.
