CHARLESTON, S. c., July 1.-THE white Re
publican league. which was inaugurated last
spring is up again on the political waves. J.

backing for Henry Cabot Lodge and other
prominent Eastern Republicans is at the head
of il.
A council was held to-day and an address
issued to the voters Of the State The lead
ers will push the movement all over the State
and expect to receive large accessi MS TO the
ranks from Democrats. who they say will be
elbowed out Of their own party by the Farm
ers' Alliance movement. IL is understood
that the movement will be entirely dis
tinct from the regular Republican organza-
ton here. The negroes will be invited TO go
into the movement. but only as rank and tile.
1t will be a distinct white Republican move
ment with the old Greenbackers as its back
bone, reinforced with Democrats who have
been sheved by the Alliance movement here.
The indications are that Governor Iilman
will be shelved by the Alliance unless he gives
up his opposition to the Sub-Treasury plan.

Rstnrnsd After Fifty Years.

JONOTHAN r. RHoADEs and Joseph
S. Elkinton, ministers of the Society of
Friends, came to town and announced
on Saturday by card, that a meeting
for religious worship would be held in
the Opera House ON Sunday afternoon
at 4 o'clock. They were there on time,
and after very little delay commenced,
the people dropping in in the mean
time until the room looked nearly half
filled by the time the first speaker had
finished. They each spoke for nearly
half hour--the necessity for the king
dom of grace in the heart, conforming.
the life to the divine will, being
brought in close communion with God,
which would bring a correct and con-
sequently happier life. They con-
fined themselves to one subject, the
necessity for a purer and better life.
A sweet meekness and humility char
acterized their ministratiOns. After
the closing prayer one of them ex-
planned that they had been moved by
the spirit to come to Smyrna, hoped
that the spirit had impressed them,
that they had perhaps been together
as long as was profitable, the two men
shook hand and the meeting was over.
To most of the audience "a Quaker
meeting was something entirely new.
And yet, these men stood on historic
ground, as far as the society of Friends
are concerned. A hundred years or
more ago they were the largest relig-
ious body in Smyrna, in fact. for a
time, nearly the only society that held
christian worship, the Presbyterian
! n EnionnnoI nh H.,
the Smyrna pond and the other at
Duck Creek, having gone down. Per-
sons who remember even a later dav
say they have seen over a hundred
carriages at a time hitched in the ward
of the Quaker meeting house, which
was large house for its day. One
hundred and twelve years ago the first
Methodist society was organized in
this town, but their real strength was
not developed until some twenty wears
after when they swept through the
country like wild fire. The rise of
one seemed to be the decadence of the
other, the meetings of Friends ceasing
about fifty years ago, the Episcopal
Church being reorganized sixty years
ago, and the Presbyterian ten or fifteen
years later.
The Quakers were among the most
substantial and respected people, and
there are a number in the community
who remember Michael Ohley, Charles
Cowgirl, Mrs. Ann Denney and Others
who attended their last meetings in
the old meeting house. The latter
which had been used for some years as
an academy, burned down thirteen or
fourteen years ago, or doubtless these
preachers would have called the meet
ing there.
