SADNESS IN DUE WEST.
Sore AfflictiOn Of the Town within
the last Two Weeks.

the last Two Weeks.
We noted last week the death OF Rev. W. F.
Pearson and now IL IL our duty to record the
death OF Mrs. VIM. E. Tood and Mrs. Il. l..
Grter.
or the former we only know that, after a
lingering illne ess she died In the hope OF a
glorious resurrection.
or the latter we only know that she was
young-on the threshold OF mature life-and
that She has been cut down when the world
was most interesting to her and to hers.
Only a little while ago, she was beautiful
happy brihe.
she was adorned with flowers that. were not
more beautiful nor more fragrant than the
heart within.
In joyousness that is never realized but
once in life she met her bridegroom III all
sweetness that can fill the mind and heart.
After q short period OF existence in that
sphere where only the ideal OF human hap
piness is found, she lay down her life, amid
the SORROWS and tears Of loving hearts. 10
meet another Bridegroom from whom she
will never part.
At her own importantly, she was allowed to
look upon the face Of her new born infant
whose eyes had never been opened. Gazing
upon that lifeless form and inanimate ngure
as 1t lay dressed for the tomb, her heart sank
within her.
and In response TO that wlll-power which Is so
potent with the sick, the pulsations Of the
heart grew weaker and weaker until the Spirit
had left It's earthly temple.
Whether In Joy or in sadness, we instinct.
lively turn to the beauties OF Nature, and from
the beauties Of Nature we look up to Natures
The brow that was but yesterday crowned
with orange blossoms we sadly wreathe today
with passion flowers.

Episcopal Bishop.

Rev. Ellison Capers, D. D.. was last week
elected Assistant Bishop Of the Episcopal
Diocese OF South Carolina.
His election is source OF much aratiflca-
tion for more reasons than one. He is pre-.
eminently the man for the place. His pious
character and his liberal kindly spirit to all
mankind will be an acquisition to the church
and except for petty jealousies on the part OF
his co.laborers. and that insatiate greed OF
Charleston for everything-or in case 1t can.
not have Its own way. its persistent and unre'
lenting opposition TO the country-he would
no doubt have been elected by unanimous
vote.

Wednesday, May 10. 1893.

We find the following paragraph, copied in

now ceIebraied 5ss CHURCH case at Columbia one
would think that the young lady IN question
had been burned alive. II q church has DOT
the right TO require It's members to conform
to Its rules, who has?"
The sentence about the "headlines" and
"nre' must be clerical joke or ministerial
license We have seen no headings whlch
were suggestive Of the burning Of the young
lady, though some OF the criticisms OF the
pious and righteous elders and deacons who
adopt one code OF morals for the rich and one
for the poor, or one rule of faith for women
and another for men, may have suggested the
idea that at some futureI time the effect Of
combustion and the cause OF heat might
bring very great and continuous suffering to
the sanctified brethren who could give the
communion to male violaters of the Sabbath
who are presumably able to pay something
TO the church, while Withholding that same
communion from female violator VINO is
presumably able to pay very little into the
treasury OF the Lord.

brother. II we have rightly Interpreted our
brother, we accept his suggestion OF "nre,
not for the poor victim. but for those
church officers who would welcome TO the
Lords table male violaters of the rules OF the
church, while sending the steel deep into the
soul of poor woman who Is not more guilty.
Lot him who can, justify the iniquity ofsuch
action. Let him who can excuse such In
justice aud such iniquity. but an intelligent
an honorable public will not endorse such
acts. even If perpetrated by body OF the
Lords annointed.
We agree with sour Monthly" that the
church has perfect right to adopt any rules
1t chooses, but II 1t adopts rules and methods
which shock our sense Of right and Justice
1t may expect to hear the criticism Of dis
approving public.
The church OF our Lord and Saviour must
not set up standards which are lower than
those which are recognized as just and which
have baen adopted by an intelligent public.
1t was the unequal consideration which the
Columbia church accorded to the strong and
the influential as as against the poor that
outraged the public sense OF justice.
And that unequal code OF morals can be
justified neither by the canons Of the church
nor the laws OF the State.

Sheriff Nance and the Governor.

In former years no man shouted more for
Tillman, and no man worked more zealously
for his election, than did Capt. F. w. r. Nance
Of this county.
When he got into Office Governor Tillman
ordered him TO levy on the railroad trains.
Sheriff Nance straightway did the unlawful
thing under the orders OF his chief.
The Governor afterward paid the fines OF
the other Sherifs who had done as Sheriff
Nance did, but concluded to let his most en-
thusiastic friend In Abbeville paddle his ow q
canoe. He let the fine Of Sheriff Nance stand
against him, and we believe the Governor In
tends to make an exception in his case.
The Governor thinks that he is justified In
going back on his old friend, because he
purged himself of contempt OF court.
At best the Office of Sheriff is not desira.
BILE one, and when the Governor repudiates
his old friend, and sends him singing tele.
grams, the official plum that fell to Sheriff
Nance Is not OF the most palatable kind.

mOnd and DanvilIe Railroads
New Schedule.

Beginning Sunday, May 7th, the Richmond
and Oanville Railroad inaugurated "The u.
g. Fast Mail" a limited schedule 10 and from
the East, which makes the distance between
all Southern points ard the great Eastern cit
les seem less than ever before. Nearly a
whole day will be saved on the Eastern malls
and papers, which will be delivered at all
principal points along The line Of the Rich
mond and Danville Railroad by their new
fast limited train covering the South with the
quickest mail delivery ever made by the
United States government.
THE U. 8. Fast Mail" will carry through
Pullman vestibuled sleepers between Atlanta
and New York without change.
The time OF the Northbound train is also
shortened between Atlanta and Washington
making quicker connections for the East.
II Is expected that still further improve
ments will be announced in q few days.

METHODIST PARSONAGE.
To BE Enlarged and Greatly ImprOv.
ed in Every Way.

The Methodists At Abbeville are remodel
ling their parsonage. after having secured
plans frem first class architect.
The parsonage may be said. in fact, TO be a
new one. The single story has been raised to
q two-story house. Additional rooms have
been added above and below, and the roof has
been changed to an ornamental one. Instead
of the little house of former years, a preten-
tious structure Of modern architecture will
stand by the church, presenting to the eye a
handsome building whose spacious halls and
inviting apartments suggest comfort and con-
venience for the occupants. This improve
ment in the parsonage Is done in honor OF
and respect for their beloved pastor, DR.. Bays.
and his family, who hold so warm place in
the hearts of us all.
