returned yesterday from a trip to
Newberry County in behalf of the
Abbevile Mission. I went down to
Prosperity on Saturday night. Rev. D.
G. Phillips was at the rs to meet ME
and took me to his home where / was
cordially welcomed. learned from
Mr.. Phillips that he would have no
services in his own church the next
day as they had suspended exercise On
account of revival meeting which was
going on at Cannon's Creek. So we
went up to Cannon's Creek on Sab
bath. Found a large congregation
already sembled, good many being
seated in aisles. They have a nice
building. Rev. w. w. McMorries is
filling the pastorate acceptably.
Rev. w. W. Orr was conducting the
meeting on this occasion. He preached
an excellent sermon and was about an
hour and twenty minutes long,
but the interest did not lag. He
made some telling points. His sense
of humor is highly developed and
it seems hard for him to restrain 1t even
in the pulpit. The meeting continued
for several days. After Mr.. Orr's SER
mon was over I presented the cause OF
the Abbeville Mission and received a
good contribution. On Monday can
vassed the Prosperity church. Spent
Monday night at the hospitabie home
of Mr.. H. C. Moseley. His own and
bis brothers success in business IS
phenomenal. In 1856 they started
business in a little room about 26x2o
and with capital of one dollar each.
Now they have an elegant store with
five separate apartments containing
groceries and general merchandise
hardware, millinery, furniture, carrl-
ages, etc. thought they might roll
one of their carriages out for the Able
Vile Mission and never miss it. They
are, however, liberal-spirited gentle
men and contribute to all public en-
terprses.
went up to Newberry Tuesday
afternoon and canvassed the mem
bership there By the next afternoon.
Was eL tertained by Rev. McClintock
and Mr.. Mower. Messrs. McClintock
and Phillips helped me out in every
way in their respective churches. Their
sympathies are enlisted in behalf OF
Abbeville. They are both held IN high
esteem by their people. l am also IN
debted to Rev. Messrs. Orr and NC
Morries for giving to the Abbevlll7
cause their encouragement and appro'
val. This is an unusually hard year
in money matters and cotton is dis
tressingly low.
Notwithstanding these facts and
although the calls upon them are many
and pressing, t~think Cannon's Creek
Prosperity and Newberry have done a
good part by Abbeville. These three
places contributed Sl07.5O. Several OF
these subscri ptions came from young
men who are clerks in stores and one
OF them from a young lady who Is
serving in the same capacity. l was
certainly impressed with their Cheerful
liberality. Several contributions came
from those who are members OF othel
denominations. This was my frs
visit to Newberry County and l re-
cretted very much that pressing en-
| poeements at home prevented my stay
ing longer. I have many persona
friends in that county whom l esteem
highly and it would have afforded me
great pleasure to have visited them.
admire the high stand which the Sece
ders of ewberry County always take
both in matters of Church and State
They are invariably found upon tn
right side.

quite new and it is one Of the hand
soonest churches in the county. 1t
interior especially impressed me. A

Newberry for the many courtes'es am
kindnesses received at their hand
during my stay.
