Some Thoughts on the Sermon Of
Rev. Mr. Rice, Preached in 1
Our Village Presbyterian
Church on Sunday, the ss
- 9th of July, 1898.

...2 q :
The Columbia District, Confer l
.ence held its quarterly meeting
in Edgefeld during the pact week.
On Sunday morning last there
were services in the Methodist
Church conducted by the Rev. Mr..
Kilgo, and in the Presbyterian
Church the sermon was delivered
[by the Rev. Mr.. Rice, ofthe Wash
ington Street Methodlst Church,
Golumbia. From the latter named
we heard one of the most eloquent
and effective sermons ever preach
ed in Edgefeld. The congregation
was rather small, and after hearing.
this much appreciated address it
was regretted that more were not
present, as no one could have lis
tened to such dissertation from
"a man of such personal magnetism
and grace of expression combined
with the fact that it. wabfgom p.

to the honor and glory of God.
There was nothing very remark
able in the personal appearance of
Mr.. Rice till be began speaking.
Then it was that his personal
charms and magnetic influence
showed itself and made the con-
gregation necessarily attentive.
We must not go on without saying
word for Edgefeld. and that
word is, that congregations in the
churches here are attentive at all
times. The speaker did not as we
are trying to do-display his own
merits-but continually pointed
out Christ and the way of saliva.
ton. 1t inspired awe and wonder
as we listened to the floods of elo-
quence which came from his lips.
When man forgets himself and
breaches OILY Christ and Him
crucifed, with inspiration and aid
from the infinite God, it is then
that the divinity in man is dis
played. We forgot the speaker in
listening toa discourse elevated,
and forcible in thought, easy and
effective in utterance and at the
same time an unmistakable out
pouring from the fullness of the
heart.
The sermon chosen from the
eleventh chapter of Hebrews and
FIRST verse, "Now faith is the sub
stance of things hoped for" was
calculated to give those who heard
| it an exalted and more elevated
Idea of the infnitude and magni-
tude of God, but at the same time
made manifest to us his unbound
led and incalculable mercy. Said
the speaker:
+: aThere is no religion existing
whose god is represented as seeki'1g
man, except the religion of Jesus
Christ. God seeks man for three
reasons: ssauge be kno&s Of our.
bleeding and. felpiesS -cond dtion,
because we are precious and of
much wo.th, and because we are
His children" /"
The ideas expressed in this dis
course reminded us of Emerson

Ubiquitous legislation, which un-
less soon repulsed will not only
destroy our liberty but bring ruin
to our country and starvation to
our homes. When the speaker had
[forcibly impressed upon his hear
ers the justice of their demands
and earnestly urged them to press
forward in the fight until victory
and equality before the law was
achieved, he branched off on the
workings of the exchange and very
satisfactorily explained what an
important factor it had been to
the Allidncemen of the State, both
as a source of information and as
a means of saving them money.
He did not pretend to say that the
Alliance trade should be carried
OH soley through the Exchange.
The idea would be foolish, for
there were a thousand little articles
that can be had Of the local mer-
chants at the same prices as
through the Exchange. There you
have his entire stock to select from
and it is not only more satisfac-
tory but more convenient to get
them at home. The speaker in
sisted, however, that the guano
trade ought to be conducted
through the Exchange. He was
sure that he could save them money
on their-fertilizers. Their bagging
and ties also if bought through
the Exchange would cost them less.
He explained the cause of last
years confusion in regard to guano
purchases, and IN conclusion illus
trated by certain incidents which
had come under his observation
the many ways in which purchasers
had saved money by buying goods
of whatever nature through the
manager of the Exchange.
The Colonel's speech occupied q
little over an hour. AT lis conclu-
sion dinner was announced. And
what a dinner In variety and
abundance, we'll we Can't remem-

could concur if every lnhabitant of
said territory was an editor or
Methodist preacher.
The afternoon speaker was Con-
gresham Talbert. Although un-
able to move his right arm from
rheumatism, yet his speaking
powers were unaffected. He en-
phatically declared that he was
standing upon the Alliance plat
form and intended to battle for
Alliance demands. His speech
for the most part was an exp
tion of the Declaration of T. -
tionsn as laid down on the A 4nce
constitution.

present deserve to be congratu-
lated for their liberal endeavors to
make the occasion what it was, a
complete success in every imagin-
able respect.

A Chinamsn Secures . Noe-Suit In
Assault Case.

Assault Case.
Chlnaman Sam, who has been awaiting trial
Tor over month in the county JAZZ came up be-
lore Judge Humes yesterday afteraoon on the
charge OF assaulting Joshua Nail=, of Slaugh-
ter, With deadly weapon. The STATE put in its
testimony and the defendant moged for q nom
suit, which was granted, and he wns discharged
from custody.
Both Nails and the prisoner live at slaugh-
ter, and the latter had been employed for some
time by the former There was SEINE question
of non-payment of wages betweea them, and
on the day before the alleged assault Nails
knocked pipe out of the prisoners mouth, as
he said, In play, but it seems that they were
not very friendly. On the das of the as
sau't Nails, in company with several others, was
cutting wood near Chinamau Sans shanty, and
as the latter passed he called out t. him. This
seemed to anger sam and he threw a butcher
knife that he had in his hand at tie time some
where in the direction of Nails. but if he in
tended to strike him his aim was very bad, for
the knife did not pass within twenty feet of
him. 1t was impossible, from ths evidence of
the state, to prove that an assault had been com.
mitted, and Judge Humes ordered the prisoner
to be dismissed
The prisoner is only about Il years OF age,
and seems even younger. Mark Ten Suie, who
acted as his Interpreter during the trial, said
that according to his story Nails osed him for
work that he had done. had abused him and
had taken a SIS watch from him For this and
for the arrest Chinaman Sam says that he will
bring an action for damages against Joshua
