Remarkable Proceedings,

EDITORS INTELL1aENCER The proceed
ings of tho Lebanon Church, in this
County, at its last regular meeting were
remarkable in the extreme. 1t is very
much to be regretted that they were made
public through the columns of the INTEL
L1GENcER, but since they have been made
public, and become the subject of consid-
erable comment. it may be well that more
of tho particulars be known and the posi-
ton which the Church occupies with
other religious bodies seen. The Modera-
tor stated that there was no Church, and
had not been, because they had no rules
and were divided. Strange! strange!
that the Lebanon Church has never had q
New Testament, for if they had, they
would have had tho supreme rules for the
government of individuals and Churches.
The fact, however, is that the Lebanon
Church has always lad both the Bible and
rules for the government of the Church.
The Lebanon Church, for more than fifty
years, has been an organized Church !;
Wingo, Erwin, Murray and Marshall.
Hundreds, through long years, were
added to the Church, lived in the Church
and died members of the Church, having
enjoyed all the privileges of Church ordi-
nances; and yet they we're never MEM
bers ofany Church, they never enjoyed q
Church ordinance. The inscription upon
the tom b-stones of those who sleep In the
cemetery near by, of their long continued
membership in the Church, is not true,
for there was no such Church.
A more difficult question still presen Is
itself. How did the present Church come
into existence? I know of no way, lsav-
ing restoration out, by which any person
can become member Of any Baptist
Church, except by profession Of repent.
ancs, faith and baptism, or by letter. In
the present case there was no such Church,
no pastor, no members of a Church. How
did they organize Church under such
circumstances. The question arises, is
the new organization Church or not. 1t
is composed mostly of those who were
members of no Church upon their signing
rules, regulations, &C., which were adopt
ed by them. Wiser heads must solve
these questions

WILLIAMSON, 8. c., May 5, 1891.
Cards of invitation had been out some
time inviting friends and relatives to the
marriage of Miss Naomi, daughter Of
Can't. B. G. Martin, of Williamson, to
MI. Lawrence R. Tucker, Of Orrville, 3.
G. On Wednesday, 10Th ult., quite large
crowd assembled in the beautifully deco
rated parlor with Miss Kathleen Lander,
of Williamson, 8. c., at the organ. AS
the bridal party entered the room the mu-
sic began, and continued until the bride
and groom stood beneath the wedding
bell in front of the officiating clergymen.
The following is the order in which they
entered the room: Revs. D. Weston Hiott
and Robert D. Hawkins, the little flower
girls, with beautiful fowers-Nina Breaz.
eale and Birdie Duckworth, Miss Lenora
A. Martin, of Williamson, aud John B.
Tucker, of OrrYille, Miss Allie Major, of
Neals, and DR.. James T. Wilson, of
Honea Path. Miss Mamie Wilson, of Will
liamston, and e. Clifton Martin, of Neva,
Miss Addie Duckworth, of Williamson,
and Mr.. A. T. Newell, of HopeWell, Miss
Lois Watson, of Anderson, and Mr.. B. F.
Martin, of Atlanta, Ca, Miss Maggie
MCGEE, of Starr, and Mr.. Whit. W. Smith,
of Lebanon. When the music ceased the
silence was broken by the voice of Rev.
D. Weston Hiott, the pastor of the bride.
After brief ceremony, Rev. Robert D.
Hawkins offered an appropriate prayer,
and Lawrence r. Tucker and Miss Naomi
L. Martin were pronounced husband and
wife. Congratulations followed and then
came the supper. We shall not attempt
to describe the many good things; suffice
it to say that everybody must have been
satisfied, for we heard some say that they
had never been present at a more enjoya-
BILE wedding, nor better supper. On the
day following magnificent reception was
given at the palatial home Of the groom.
How delightful such occasions! Who
could help but enjoy them? The presents
were many and valuable, and the young
couple start out in life with bright pros.
poets. The bride is the Oldest daughter OF
our efficient County Commissioner, and
one Of the best girls we have ever known,
and the groom is prosperous young far
mer, and no one who is acquainted with
the Tucker family will doubt his ability
to succeed in his chosen occupation.
May the richest blessings Of this life be
theirs, and finally the rewards OF the
righteous. u. W. b.

Four negro prisoners made an attempt
on "Wednesday evening of last week to
make their escape from the County Jail.
Having secured possession Of an old knife
and an iron hook, they managed to gain
their entrance into the hallway and con-
cealed themselves in the dungeon, the door
OF which opens very near the door leading
from the hallway down stairs. 1t seems
it was their purpose to overpower the
Sheriff as he opened this latter door and
then fee down stairs and make their
escape. When the Sheriff came up stairs
he suspected nothing, and when he placed
his key to unlock the main door, Wm.
Tice, 9 white prisoner, who made an
attempt to escape few days ago, spoke to
the Sheriff aud warned him of his danger.
Sheriff Bolt went back down stairs, and
calling Deputy Green to his assistance
forced the prisoners back to their cells at
the point of the pistol. The negroes are
now safely shaokeled to the floor, and it is
not likely that the Sheriff will have any
more trouble With them,

On our way home from the State Press

On our way home from the State Press
Association last week we stopped over in
Columbia, and during our stay had the
pleasure of meeting Mr.. T. Ii. Walker,
formerly ofAbbeville, but who is now at
the head of The Columbia Candy Compa-
ny. Mr.. Walker very kindly escorted us
through his establishment and showed us
how candy was made. The Company
manufactures al grades, from the cheap
est stick to the finest French candy, and
is selling its goods in every section Of the
State. This IS home enterprise and de.
seryes the patronage Of the retail dealers
throughout the State.
We understand that the programme of
the closing exercises of Miss Minnie Bells
school, as published by US last week, was
carried out with entire success. A large
attendance greeted the children, and the
order was just as good as it could be. The
people of Starr know how to behave them
selves on such occasions. It is said to
have been most enjoyable evening. No
dnnbt the people will long remember the
lst Of May, 1891, with pleasure. Miss
Minnie Bell makes success of all her
undertakings. We are informed that the
School Commissioner was present, and
will, we presume, give some account of it
next week.

We regret to announce the death of Mr..
James e. Vandiver, Of Wacahoota, Ma
rion County, Florida, which took place
on April Oath, after a brief illness of a
week. During the most of that time he
suffered great agony, which he bore with
remarkable calmness and fortitude. Mr..
Vandiyer was native Of Anderson Coun-
ty, but settled in Florida about eight
years ago. Meyer very robust man. his
constitution received severe strain about
five years ago from a protraoted illness,
which left him less able than ever to fight
the battle of life; but though enfeebled in
body, his indomitable perseverance and
industry enabled him since then to make
nice home and orange grove. He was q
quiet but enterprising farmer, and an
afectionate husband and father. He had
scarce reached the meridian Of life, being
only thirty-one years of age. He leaves q
wife and two bright little children, as well
as many friends to mourn his early death.
