An Eloquent Sermon.

Rev. Jno. C. Kilgo preached an
able and strong sermon in the Meth.
odist Church last Sunday morAing.
It contained many sledge hammer
blows. We wish he could preach that
sermon to every congregation in this
country. The central idea was that
true greatness consisted in service. No
man was independent but that man
only was truly great who best served
his day and generation. The principal
aim Of life should not be to get all oct
of the world that we can but to put
more in it. By empting ourselves in
the service OF others we are made full
1t would be a great thing for this
world if we could get rid of much OF
the selfshness and narrowness and
bitterness and meanness that pervades
many Of its citizens, &c.
We hope the Rev. Mr.. Kilgo will
visit Us again soou and treat us tc
some more of his chunks of solid wis
dom.

Rev. w. s. Bean, D. D., editor of the
Southern Presbyterian, writes about a
recent visit to Newberry:
"New5erry County is one of the
counties in South Carolina in which
the Presbyterians are not numerous.
There are only four organized churches
and two pastors to supply these. We
have Just returned from a visit to
Smyrna church, five miles from New
berry, and had the pleasure of assisting
Rev. J. w. Mcclure, the pastor Of
Smyrna, in a meeting There was
preaching once on Saturday, and twice
on Sunday when the Lords Supper
was administered. A heavy storm of
rain and thunder, which came up after
the assembling of the large congrega-
ton, rendered it difficult to hear any
thing that was said,, and kept all in
the church for the midday repast. On
Monday morning there Was another
service, and Mr.. Mcclure announced
preaching Monday night. There were
two additions on professions of faith
and it is hoped that others will follow.
Mr.. Mcclure rendered his resignation
as pastor, he having received call to
Richburg and Longtown churches in
Bethel Presbytery. The South Caro-
lima Presbytery is to meet mkt week to
consider his resignation.
''The Aveleigh church, Newberry, of
which Rev. J. S. Cozby, d. d., is pas
tor, is very attractive and convenient
building, 1t has been newly re-
modelled within and without, and with
it's hard wood finish of native pine, its
stained glass windows, and comforta-
BILE pews, it is one Of the neatest and
most comfortable churches in this
State. Should Mr.. McClure's resigna-
ton be accepted and his pastoral rela-
ton with his two churches dissolved,
DR.. Cozby will he left as the sole rep
resentative of the Presbyterian minis
try in Newberry County.
ut is a sign Of decided progress in
our towns to see what excellent public
school buildings have been recently
erected in many places, Abheville,
Sumter and Newberry have new and
handsome school-hauses, which ere
most attractive and we'll appointed.
Other towns are undertaking the erec-
ton Of new buildings, and South Caro-
lima will soon be supplied with the best
school-houses that can be devised"

A Card of InforJna,e e,p

The County Commissioners, in jus.
tlce to themselves, feel it their duty to
make the following statement:
In November. 1891, the levy for or.
dinary county funds was reduced from
81 mills to ,! mills. That reduced
levy is to pay the county's obligations
in the fiscal year Of 1892 2-93. Had all
the taxes been collected the 2! mills
levy would have been sufficient to run
the present year. The amount that
was not collected is 81, ,713.l7.
Making no reflections upon any pre-.
vious county administration, let us
make the following comparison: The
funds spent in the fiscal year, begin.
ming November, 1891, and ending No.
vember, 1892, were sl3,754.35, while
the present fiscal year, Oh account OF
the reduced levy, must be run on
