Sensational Talk.
A GEORGIA EVANGELIST CREATES MUCH
TALK IN SENECA.
columbia Register.

SENECA, S. c., September le.-our
town is enlivened now by the presence OF
Rev. Cowan, an evangelist from Georgia.
Tonight there were 1,2oO people in and
around his tent. He preached upon tie
compromise suggested by Pharaoh to
Moses, and in his application referred to
the past political issues, saying our peo-
pie were under the bondage of sin and the
devil, and asked why they did not throw
off the bondage of sin as they did the
bondage of our old ring rule.
He also referred to the comments OF the
press upon his being refused renewal OF
his license, and said it was sprung upon
the quarterly conference without the
knowledge of his friends, and warns the
press to note the action Of the next quar-
terly conference, where he lives.
he also referred to the action of our
district conference, held in Seneca, which
passed resolution prohibiting any
preacher from inviting any evangelist to
to preach in any of our churches without
the consent of the presiding elders.
This, he says, is tending to Popish doc
trines, and says all this fight is made to
put down the doctrine of ''holiness."
The town people do not go out en- masse
to hear this preacher. Most of his con
1 gregations are country people. I am
pursuaded that Rev. Cowan is doing a
great work for the Lord in and around
our town.
He pays special attention to the social
club ana to the church members who
belong to it, and the church members
who rents the building where it is run.

SENECA, 5. C., September p, 1892.
DEAR COURIER: When the Board OF
Trade elected the cotton weigher for this
place some time ago they passed reso-
luton requiring him to give bond for
faithful performance of his duty. Since
then Il seems that great many persons
construed this to be in the interest of the
cotton buyer and against the seller. The
Board met yesterday and annulled its
former action. because of the misunder-
standing, SO that ;.a~ the cotton weigher
is on his honor sworn to weigh justly and
correctly.
The Cowan meetings are still going on,
but will close next Sunday. The attend
ance hasn't been so large this week OIL
account of the bad weather.
The meeting in the Baptist chmch
closed last Saturday morning. Three
young persons made public profession
of religion, while considerable interest
was manifested by others. Mr.. Mercer
made a fine impression on Seneca people

prised to hear delegates to the State

NEED OF THE GOSPEL IN INDIA.
correspondence KEowEE COURIER

! Correspondence KE0WEE COURIER.
I will give for a few weeks brief COM
pilation of the condition and social
status of women in India. These will be
very condensed. The condition OF Gods
topmost piece of creation and mans
helpmate may be known TO many of your
readers, but there may be some whose
heart would be moved and would be
more Jealous in sending the light among
these Denighted people. The women Of
all savages lie slaves, but probably there
is not more oppressed class than the
women of India. Whatever may be her
rank there is dark shadow over her
from the cradle to the grave. Degrade
ton is heaped upon her and sorrow is
measured by the number of her days.
Many of them are murdered in infancy
and it would be far better for themselves
if each could end her existence then. In
some cities no girls are found, they hav-
ing been openly murdered. While the
number Of males and females in America
are about equal, DR.. Butler gives the
ratio of 36 girls to 100 boys in India.
The infants are generally killed by the
mothers; sometimes by poisoning; others
casting them in the Sacred river, or
swung in tree for the birds and ants to
devour. Custom overcomes all maternal
elections, How black must be the dark
ness of their spiritual abode when
humanity sinks so far below the brute.
The mother offers her child to Kalee. the
most powerful deity of Bengal. Calcutta
is the metropolis Of the country; received
its name from Kalee. Often when moth
c--s are afflicted thay offer up their chill
dren that the gods may by appeased and
the chastisements staid. The aristocratic
class, who give very costly marriages to
their daughters and provide them rich
dowries, cannot afford to have more than
one or two or else they will not be able
to marry them off and then both will be
hopelessly disgraced. Hence woe to the
younger daughters. Next l will say
something of marriage.
There is considerable Sickness through
out the country in the form of typhoid
and pneumonia fever. Some few cases
have proven fatal.
Good rains have prevailed and the tur-
nip crop, though late, is making rapid
strides to do something before winter
approaches.
Prof. Moss, of Lavonia, whom the peo-
pie of Fair Play were aiming to secure as
their teacher for another year, died on
the 18th instant, and they are without a
teacher for another year. Any expert
enced teacher would do well to send his
application to the trustees at once, If
he desires a first-class school.
I Quite a number of Baptist churches
are left pastorless. Rev. j. H. Stone has
been called to Return church for the en-
suing year.
How many boys and girls will Oconee
send to college next year? Colleges are
opening now and our people should not
forget their sons and daughters.
