Newberry, March 5rd, 1884.

MEssRs. EDITORS heard power
full sermon at the Methodist Church,
Sunday last, by that able divine, the
Rev. J. A. Clifton. His subject was
taken from Sd chapter, 18th verse,
Philippians, which reads Brethren,
l count not myself to have appre-
hended; but this thing l do, forgetting
those things which are behind, and
reaching forth to those things which are
BEFORE
He showed to the congregation, that
Paul was prisoner in Rome when he
wrote this Epistle to the Philippians.
The picture given by the pastor Of the
imprisoned eagle, was complete for
three years the bird had been in its
cage when the door of its prison was
thrown open it came to the door, put
its head and neck out and viewed the
light, it then went back; but not sat-
isfied, it again went to the door and
stepped out, but drawing back, it walk
ed around its prison and again coming
to the door it stepped out and viewed
the beautiful light of heaven, still
afraid to trust its golden wings. 1t
then walked around the outside Of its
prison-then stretching its golden
wings it slowly circled around its pris-
on, lighting on the top of it. Again
looking up at the glorious sun, it spread
its golden wings, and uttering a glad
cry of delight it scared aloft-up and
up-until lost to the sight Of its prison
house, and the earth. In giving this
picture he was grandly eloquent.
Again, he pictured Lyttleton and
West, two inidels. They met and
each agreed to write book, the one
proposing to take the Is Epistles OF
st. Paul, and prove that Paul was an
impestor the other to take the four
Gospels as written by Matthew, Mark,
Luke aud John, and prove that Jesus
Christ never rose from the dead. At
the second meeting OF the men they
compared notes-each had written
book, ard both were, and are yet, ex-
haustive arguments, proving most con-
clusiYely, the one, that Paul was all
the church claims him to have been,
the other that Christ Gid rise. These
books are read to this day. The Pas
tor might have added-it-would be
well for some in this cong egation to
read them. / will not atten pit to fol-
low mp this divine in f1n able Sermon.

He spoke about 40 minutes. Finally in
closing his appeal, tomembers and con-
gregation, to wander not from the
commandments, walk in the law OF the
Lord, and reach forth unto those things
which are before-was grand and very
elovuent.
The Methodist Conference certainly
has great respect for Methodists of this
city by sending some of their ablest
preachers here to preach to them.
They had an able man two years pre-
yious to the present, but they have
certainly made animproyement. Would
it not be proper now, for the Metho-
dists of this place to acknowledge this
Kindness to Conference by building a
fine brick church, to honorSthese great
and good men sent here to preach for
them.
I thought in walking up the street,
looking at their small house, how
beautiful large church, made ont OF
POOLS nice pressed brick, would look,
supplemented by the handiwork OF
that prince of builders. Os. Wells.
Look at the fronts of those three stores
on Mollohon Row, about being COM
pleted with rough bricks, how beauti-
full. If the Methodists, and they are
abundantly able to do it, will build a
four fronted brick church, large enough
to seat 2500, their names will be hon
ored by generations yet unborn, and
will never be erased from Methodist
history, but will, like those of Asbury
and Wesley, those grand old heroes,
and pioneers, who established that
church in this continent Just 100 years
ago. live to the end of time. P.

The Meas &, Courier supplement
of last Saturday contained a full
account of the development and
operation of the phosphate works
in this State. It mentioned among
other things of interest, that a great
many Of the workmen in the mines
are Italians, who are both indus
trious and frugal, accomplishing as
much as the negro, and subsisting
on bread and water, with a little
maearoni on Sundays. This pre-
sents the Italians in more attrac.
tive light TO those Of US who have
been accustomed to regard them as
lazzaroni, wor HESS and thriftless.
And it is a curious fact to carniy-
orous Americans that these men
can stand the heavy drain upon
their bodies, demanded by the sort
of labor in which they are engaged,
without eating flesh.

A NEW ROAD.

We understand that a petition
will soon be presented to the Board
of County Commissioners, by citi-
zens of No. II, asking that a new
public road be opened in their
Township. The road sought to be
constructed is to leave the Colum-
bia road leading past Pomaria, at
Mr.. G. B. Suber's, and extend to
the Ashford's Ferry road at the old
Suber place, about twelve miles
from the Court House. The gen.
eral course of the road will OF
course be made known by the Pc
titioners.
This is amatter of public interest,
and we have a word TO say in ad-
vance of the petition. The scope
Of country through which the new
road will pass, if opened, is now
trayersed by neigbborhood roads
the roughest and crookedest, We
think, in the County. Only a few
days ago, an aged citizen who had
tried the roads crossing Mud creek
near Bethlehem Church, urged US
to issue a rule requiring the County
Commissioners to show cause why
they do not keep the roads in bet
ter condition.
We are acquainted with the
country from which the petition will
come, as well as the roads by which
it is now intersected and We say
unhesitatingly that the new road is
positively demanded BY the com
fort and convenience Of those who
ask for it. In this view of the mat,
ter we bespeak for the petitioners
afagorable hearing when they come
before the County Commissioners.

The Washington correspondence
of the Eeaos 6. Courier Of The Srd
of March, contains the following
paragraph: Complaints having
been made that Agricultural Col
leges were being made the means
of disseminating classical instead
of agricultural graduates, as intend
ed by the Act of 1862 granting
land scrip to support such institu-
tons, Mr.. Aiken introduced to-day
and had passed resolution look
ing to an investigation of the sub
ject to learn what had been done
with the appropriations made for
these colleges"
Mr. Aiken will find that out of
the many schools Of Agriculture
and the Mechanic Arts, erected in
the various States, under the Act
of 1862, three or four are still in
operation. These schools were
once agricultural, with classical fea-
tures; now they are classical, with ag-
ricultural features. The experiment
has proved that the American people
are not ready for special training
that is exclusively agricultural and
mechanical. And the American
people are right {; there is no rea-
son for divorcing agricultural and
classical training. We are inelin-
ed to think. however, that the most
successful agriculturists got their
training on the farm.
