The Rev. James Faulk.
[From the baptist Courier. !


The readers of the Courier will
sustain the assertiou that we have
never misrcprescntcd stranger in
our midst, nor abused the privileges
of a journalist in exposing the short
comings Of others. The facts have
always justified us when the charac-
ter of any man was called into qucs-
ton, and not single instance can
be cited where the good name of an
individual was unjustly assailed.
These remarks arc predatory to the
exposure of a preacher who has
gained the confidence of excellent
people in South Carolina, who were
too easily deceived by his plausible
statements. Last week We asked a
suspension of Judgment in regard to
one James Faulll, hailing now from
California and again from Mississippi,
but whose nomadic life in the last
few years does not cntitlc him to
claim place of residence. Upon
limited but certain information we
declared him an impostor in the first
instance, but in Difference to appeals
from brethren in Laurens, we en-
tered upon an investigation of his
record only to find very quickly that
the imposition was greater than was
at first minated. We are prepared
to establish the fact that James
Faulk is not only an impostor, ut
tcrly unworthy of the confidence and
support of our churches, but that
his record is of the most unsavory
character.
lie has exhibited credentials in
some of the places visited, and an
examination of these credentials has
apparently satisfied brethren that he
is an authorized and regularly ordain-
ed minister of the gospel, entitled to
the fullest recognition rs a Baptist
and as a Christian. 1t is not always
true that men holding such crcdcn-
tiais arc entitled to recognition, for
we have known more than one in
stance where they were held unlaw-
fully and unrightcously. Such is
tho case with this individual, for he
was licensed to preach and ordained
by the Calvary Church Of Meridian,

A Card from Capt. Tillman.

10 tic bubble. Invitations to-
speak arc beginning to come to mo.
| desire to say that all such letters
should be addressed to Capt. G. w.
Shell, Laurcns, S. c., Chairman of
tho Campaign Committee Y
The reasons arc obvious. To ctn-
vass the State thoroughly will require
much travel, and cannot well be done
under three months; and to save
both expense and labor, there must
be some systematic arrangements.
Capt. Shell can also Judge where.
and when my services are most
needed, and arrange accordingly. If.
the State Democratic Committee.
would not call the State Convention
till September, the canvass could be
deferred till the crop is almost laid
by, and would prefer not to pre-
ciptatc heated political campaign
when all are SO busy. But / am
ready to opon the ball whenever it
suits the people and the Campaign
Committee thinks best.
Respectfully,

menced soon, and to-day the sClem-
son Agricultural College" is a house,.
hold word in every farmhouse in
South Carolina, and rightly the
honor and credit of having given
more substantial aid towards pro-
noting the interests of the farmer
than any other citizen Of this State
is due to Mr.. Clemson, through
whose efforts and gifts, mainly, South
Carolina will have an Agricultural
College second to mono in the South;
and the locating of this college at !
Fort Hill, under the shadow of the
old Farmers Hall, of Pcndlcton, a
vcritablc mother in agricultural in
stitutions and progressive agricul-
ture, seems in every way very ap-#
propriatc.
Col. L.J. Aston was the son-in-
law of Aaron Burr, and subsequently,
Governor Of the State. The name
is a familiar one in Georgia. Rev.
DR.. Waddcll, rs an educator Of
youth, attained fame and made an
impress that is felt to-day through
out the South. Col. Joseph Grisham
was the father of Mrs. Senator JOSS
eph T.. Brown. George Reese was
the father Of DR.. Milton Reese and
Addison Reese, and the grandfather
Of Judge w. M. Reese, who has
illustrated Georgia III high positions
of honor and trust.
The fruits of tho workings of this
society may be seen in the number
of well titled stock farms around it..
which arc said to contain more and
a greater variety of fine stock than
any other section of the State. On
every side of town may be seenSrichS
meadows and pastures covered Wits
fine stock that are increasing in valus8
and average. 8
Truly the Pcndlct on Farmers So 81
cicty has been n mighty factor of
good for the whole people. May it,
continue to labor and bless mankind.

Sangersville Items.

EReported for the VIRGINIAN.1
Since the absence of Mr.. n. L. B., we
have not had the pleasure of Welcoming
the Sangersville Items, for there have
been none. We thought probably it
would interest our Sangersville readers
and friends (as well as some others. per-
haps). to hear from this place again.
Mr.. John Curry, Of Briery Branch,
was buried at Ottobine on the 18th of
this month. He died from the epidemic
known as tae la grippe. After having
the grippe for some time and not taking
proper care of himself, he took pneu-
monia and lived but short time.
Mr.. NJ. b. Miller, who has been teach
ing school in Rockingham county, near
Mt. Crawford depot, is now at home
tSangersville) with the grippe.
To make things brief in regard the
grippe. it is in every part of the county
we have been in or heard from.
We had a conversation with a friend
who heard from Ohio, stating it is out
there, making its way as thoroughly as
in Virginia.
Messrs. Funk & Hartman, of Rocking
ham, have been through this section
buying fat cattle. They are making al
most an entire sweep.
Messrs. Martin CARRIER and d. l. San
ger have made sale of their baled hay
and are now hauling it to Mt. era wford
depot.
Mr.. Jacob CARRIER, we are glad to learn,
has recovered from severe attack of
typhoid fever, and is now permitted to
walk out and once more breathe the
pure air and behold the beautiful scenes
of nature.
We would just say, with all due re-
spect to the friend that related the HUI
fer and Michael serape, it was as near
Mt. Scion IS Sangersvile. We learn
that both parties are still in suffering
condition. j. B. g.

Why Not?

Why not have at Staunton not only a
blast furnace for the manufacture of pig
iron, but rolling mills nail factories and
other industries to convert the product
of the furnace into finished articles :?
Bristol, Va, has completed negotiations
for three 100 ton furnaces, and yet Bris-
toll has not one-half the advantages of
Staunton. Roanoke has two furnaces,
and Salem is laying the foundation for
one, and vet neither of these places is so
favorably situated for such enterprises
as Staunton. We want industries to
work up the iron that is produced in
this section and the timber that grows
here. Why not inaugurate movement
in that direction? We have the capital
and the energy, and if few determined
men would take hold of the suggestions
we have thrown out, they could soon be
made to materialiZe into actual fact
We will refer to this subject hereafter
In the meantime concert of thought and
action and organization ought to be
brought about at once

Fatal Railroad Accident.

On Saturday evening last a fearful
railroad accident occurred on the Chesa-
apaake & Ohio railroad, in the SUBURBS
of Staunton, by which three men lost
their lives, and six others We're injured.
A yard engine with a box car and fiat III
front of it, was on the way to Swoope's.
four miles from Staunton. On the fat
were number of carpenters employed
by the company. AT sharp curve in
the road, on the Peck farm, a mile west
of the city, hand car coming east,
heavily loaded with men and iron. col
lided with the engine, causing the in
slant death of Edward Slater and Thos.
Kidd, carpenters, both of Charlottes-
vile; the injury of Thos. Williams, of
Louisa county, so seriously that he died
and the injury, also, of g. T. Johnson,

astei, and reached there as soon as it
was possible for him to do so, and Dr.
Gibson came to the assistance when the
wounded arrived at the Staunton depot.
The truck, being we'll loaded was
coming down grade at Il pretty lively
speed, and at a sharp curve in the road,
where neither party could see the other,
the collision took place. The fiat was
thrown from the track and the two men
killed were wedged in between the fiat
and the steep embankment at the curve
The wounded are doing as well as
could be expected. and all of them are
in a fair way to recover

Death of Miss Jesse Mckay

Miss Jesse Mckay, the daughter Of
Mrs. Maggie Mckay, died of consumr-
ton at her mothers home Oh Middle
River, about a. m, on Tuesday, 18th
inst, aged about II years. She was o
lovely character, the idol of her mother
and relatives, and much beloved by a
large circle of friends. She was she last
remaining child of her mother, her elder
sister, Miss Bessie, having died just one
year ago of the same dread malady.
Thus before this fond mothers heart has
ceased to bleed for one dear child she is
bereft again, and the last cherished
pledge of her welded life is torn from
her clinging embrace. The hearts of the
community are overlooking with svnpa-
avail to alleviate such sorrow as this? 1t
is only implicit faith in the promise of
Him who has said: "a bruised reed | will
not break and consequent complete
resignation to His will that can render
existence tolera bic under such burden.
God grant that such faith and such res
ignation may sustain and comfort the
stricken mothers heart in it's deep sor-
row. The remains were taken to Harris
onburg on the p. n. train, accompanied
by large number of neighbors and
friends, and inferred in Woodbine Gene
