Rev. ". II. Strickland MS Lecturer.

VI
We clip the following from the Shelby
IN. CO. aurora:
A large audience assembled at the Bap.
tist Church in Shelby last Monday even
ing at 7.3O O'Clock to hear lecture from
Rev. VIM. Henry Strickland on the far
famed Chinese Gordon. The lecture was
delivered at the request of the Baptist
Sunday School, which thus sought to
learn more about character that was full
of heroism and inspiration. 1t is but fair
to say here that Mr.. Strickland has al
ready made reputation as an earnest
and able preacher as bold Christian
worker, and us Il man of versatility OF
talent. In this first opportunity he shows
himself us strong on the lecture platform
as in the pulpit. and his congregation, We
believe, is liberal enough to think that
the lecture platform is second only in
usefulness to the pulpit 1t was natural,
of course, for Mr.. Strickland to look at
the life of Charles George Gordon from a
moral standpoint. He gave brief sketch
of Gordon's public career from the Cri-
mean War till he ended his life u year ago
in the Souaan. The story Of this mans
life reads like romance and the lecturer
invested it with all the charms of fiction,
and yet he made the very facts burn with
inspiration Ho dissected and analysed
the character of his hero, and showed
wherein his goodness and greatness con-
sisted. The audience was delighted and
went away greatly edited.
We are informed that Mr.. Strickland
contemplates visit to his son in Ander-
son at an early day. and we hope he may
be induced to deliver this lecture to our
people while here. We know it is fine
lecture, and we know, too, that our peo-
pie would be delighted to hear it.

Abbcrllc Medium.
A colored preacher Of this county re-
Gently preached sermon from the text,
"And saw the death smoling grace stand
before God" The burden of his sermon
was tho necessity of repentance to saliva
ton. But where did he get his text? If
the reader will read the text rapidly once
or twice he will find the explanation
that is, if the reader is at all familiar with
the Bible. {, But for fear this may not be
the case, we say that it is very probable
this preacher had at some time heard an
other preacher preach sermon that pleas
ed him, and struck him as powerful
sermon" He no doubt tried to preach
the same sermon from the same text. In
the sermon he had heard, the text had
probably been repeated time and again,
and perhaps rapidly. At any rate, he had
evidently heard some one preach from the
text, "And I saw the dead, small and
great, stand before God.'' A Fairfield
friend once told us that lie heard preach
er-not colored-in his county preach
from the text, "He that gatheroth not
with me scratcheth board" The reader
will no doubt wonder what sort of SER
mon could be evolved from such 4 text;
but our friend assured us that it was
very narrowing sermon. The reader
can easily believe SO when he is told that
the preacher took the ground that those
who were lost would have to scratch a
board, and that it would not be smooth,
planed board either, but covered with
long, sharp splinters. This preacher ~as
probably first cousin to the one who
preached from the text, "Esau sold his
birthright for mess of potatoes. ."-Ncv.

A Bit Of History.

Last Monday we had pleasant call
from Mr.. Moses Chamblee, of Broadway
Township, who is perhaps one of the old
est citizens in Anderson County, he being
eighty-four years old. Mr.. Chamblees
general health is very good. Ho met
with an accident few years ago, which
made him cripple, and he does not get
about as easily as he would were he not
so. In his conversation he alluded to our
inquiry of last week as to WHO was the
first settler in the town of Anderson, and
said that his father owned nearly all the
land on which the town is now situated
when it was laid out. "Where the Square
is now," said he, ."there was an old field,
and I have run many q rabbit across it
when I was boy" Mr.. Chamblee's
fathers residence stood near what is now
known as ''Rose Hill," where Maj. Whit
ner resides. and the spring on that place
was then known as Chamblees spring.
We asked him who he thought was the
first settler of tho town, and he replied
that Mr.. Micajah Webb was. Mr.. Webb,
he said, built the first house in the town,
and that it stood on the ground now occu--
pied by the Benson House. Mr.. Webb
was an uncle of our Postmaster, Mr.. c.
w. Webb.
Mr.. Chamblee says he remembers dis
tinctly when the town was laid off, and
Informed us that Mr.. Robert Wilson,
father of our townsman, .IMr. ]. T. Will
son, laid the first brick in the town.
There was considerable difference OF
opinion among the people as to the best
place to locate the town. Some were in
favor of locating it two miles further
south, while others wanted it laid off two
miles north of here.
Mr.. Chamblee moved away from An
derson in 1924 to his present home in
Broadway Township, where he has re-
sided continuously ever since-sixty-two
years. He has been 6sLaunch friend OF
the INTELL1GENCER ever since its exist
ence. He hardly ever uses spectacles,
and says he can see to read without them.
We hope he will be spared to celebrate
his one hundredth anniversary.

County, perhaps if the Walhalla Courier
will extend this notice, it may catch the
eye OF some one by the same name.
We notice in the proceedings of the
Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of
South Carolina, which met in Charleston
last week, that our townsman, j. +.
Breazeale, Esq, was elected Most Excel
lent Grand High Priest, which is the pre-
siding officer of the Grand Chapter also
we notice in the proceedings of the Grand
Council of R. and S. Masons of the State
that another townsman, Gen. w. w.
Humphreys, was elected Grand Master.
We congratulate these gentlemon upon
their prefer,nent. Mr.. Breazeale has
shown US g very fine ring belonging to
the Grand High Priest, which is banded
down by each Grand High Priest to his
successor. The ring is very large ame-
thyst stone, set in a crown of gold, and
on the face of the stone are some of the
emblems of Royal Arch Masonry.
Mr.. C. D. Madden's son Ducas, about
fourteen years old, walked from home to
the depot at Pendleton Factory (about
300 yards) on Friday morning last at 10
O'Clock, and has not been seen nor heard
of since. Friends and neighbors have
secured the country in search of him, but
cannot hear anything of him nor find the
least thing to indicate where lie has gone.
Mr.. Madden says that there had been no
cause to correct him, and that he had not
intinated that he was dissatisfied at
home. The parents are nearly crazy
about him, fearing that he may have been
attacked with hydrophobia, as he was
bitten two years ago by Il rapid dog If
they could only know that he had run
away from home it would be some relief
to them. Ducas is stout, healthy boy,
with fair skin, blue eyes, dark sandy hair
and weighs about 13O pounds. When he
left home he wore brown jeans suit.

Senator J. p. Jones made speech
in Virginia City, Nevada. In the
course of the speech he touched up
on the silver question as follows:
| had intended to give full de-
tail of the silver question, but as | am
not in good voice tonight | will have
to content myself with few brief re-
marks. National money and nation
protection go hand-in-hand. The
reason we have hard times is because
the banks have retired their issue,
and when the volume of money is
small business is cramped. The crime
of demonetizing silver is hard to fully
understand. BY whatever means it
was accomplished, whether through
ignorance or otherwise, it has pro-
duced greater suffering in the South
and West than a war or pestilence.
But some free trader will tell you
they have hard times in Pennsylvan-
ia. ! say it does not come from COM
petition, but from the shrinkage of
currency. / am in favor of the coin
age of silver. | am for it because it
will be of advantage to the great
constituency that | have the honor
to represent in part in the United
States Senate. 1 don't believe there
will be silver and gold enough to
maintain the volume of currency to
meet the requirements of trade. l
am in favor of having the Govern
ment issue enough money, gold and
silver, to maintain that volume. That
policy will result in the employment
of all those who wish to work. am
in favor Of such a state of things that
no man shall need to beg for work,
that he owed me anything but good
service, and | simply exchange money
for labor.

Under the head of unlawful inclos
ures Sparks report says:
"Three hundred and seventyhve
unlawful Enclosures of public lands
containing an area of some 6,410,OOO
acres, have been brought to attention
up to the present time. Proceedings
to compel removal of fences have
been brought or recommended in 50
cases, involving z, 250,000 acres.
Fiaal DEGREES ordering removals
have been obtained in Is cases, in
volving more than 100000 acres.
Special agents hove reported 65 in
closures removed, embracing 1874
1862 acres. In cases no area is CIV
en-, and in one case the amount of
fencing is stated as 100 miles. In AZ
cases, involving $50, 200 acres, fences
were removed through the efforts of
the special agents without resort to
the courts, and in many other cases
the fences are in process of demolition.
Two hundred and forty-seven cases,
embracing 3,750,000 acres, are pend
ing examination, in 80 of which it is
reported the fences are being remov-
ed.
The total area over which fences
have been or are being removed is
2,714,926 acres, mostly in Colorado.
The lack of available agents has pre-
vented the prosecution of this work
to any great extent elsewhere.
We make the following extract
from the report on fraudulent entries:
In the Territories of Arizona, Utah.
Idaho and Montana, and state of Ne
vada, the character of the frauds dis
covered are similar to those mentioned
in Wyoming and Colorado. In Utah
and Idaho, however, it has been found
that large farms have been taken up
under the presumption law by the
procurement of the Mormon Church
The entrymen in one of the principal
cases, the evidence of which has re-
Gently been disclosed, were called to-
gether by a bishop of the church and
told that Brigham Young wanted
them to pre-empt the lands to prevent
outsiders, or Gentiles from coming in
and obtaining the title, and advised
them to follow the directions of GER
tain officer of the church, who would
inform them what to do. They were
accordingly ordered by this officer to
go to the lands and remain one or
two days and do little work, WHICH
they did, and were then taken to the
land office at Salt Lake City, and their
filings made IN accordance with in
structions. After the expiration of
six or eight months they were again
taken to the land office by the officer
OF the church, made their final proofs
without having lived on the claims,
and Immediately conveyed the lands
to Brigham Young. The church paid
all the expenses and gave each entry
man two bushels of wheat per day for
the time employed in the business.
About thirty thousand acres were ia
ken up in this case, and the lands
were patented several years ago and
are now held by the church.
