MANS INDIVIDUAL RELIGION.
Compared with Christ's Religion by Rev.
D. E. Post

Compared with Chri,ts Religion by Rev.
D. E Post
Rev. d. E, Post, of New York city,
occupied the pulpit of the Penn Avs
nue. Baptist church yesterday, the first
Sabbath in the vacation of Rev. War
rem G. Partridge, whois on the Massa-
chusetts coast.
Mr.. Post has quiet, unassuming
and earnest delivery without an over
abundance of isms, and evidently
brought with him a custom particu-
larly peculiar to New York in summer,
that of being brief. Both his morning
and evening sermons were short, but
sufficiently lengthy to earn for the
speaker the sympathetic and approba-
tive attention Of his hearers. His
vvening lecture was from the text
Seek ye first the kingdom Of Heaven" "
He said:
Christ is the end OF the law aud
righteousness to all those who believe,
and the individuality of man in his
religion is saldshuess. Tbs religion of
Jesus Christ affects the heart wholly
and properly and helps US to lay hold
OF that which is proper for US to ap-
prehend; it gives us an aspiration out
ward and away from ourselves aud
let's Us bring sin and the world under
our dominion. The world about Us
belongs to God, yet is ours 10 possess
"Tnis religion enables US to go to
eternity as we desire to go-not to
Gods prison house, but with pleasant
anticipstious, aud only through Christs
religion can we have the consciousness
that these anticipations will be full
filled. II teaches us 10 lay hold of the
world within US. the world about US
and the world beyond u.s. Is there any
other religion that enables US to do
that2
III we need an argument it is to
Seek ye first the kingdom OF heaven;
seek 1t with the same assiduity you
would seek worldly things; relinQuish
all else il necessary"

The Board of County Commissioners, and
Messrs. Melie,t, Williamson, Manning and
Wilson, Of the Legislative delegation met
last Friday at Col T. V. Walshs Office.
Senator.elect Moses, and Representative
Sanders were unavoidably absent. Mr.
Moses is in Columbia on business. Different
matters appertaiuing to county affairs were
discussed, which will doubtless result in
good for the county. The County Delega-
ton and County Commissioners wanted to
have thorough understanding as to what is
most needed, and as to the proper legislation
for our County. This is a wise plan to be
pursued, particularly as there are new MEM
bers of the delegation going over to the
Legislature next week, and it further shows
that the County Commissioners and County
Delegation are interested in their positions
and duties to the people.

A NEW OPENING.

Several large starch factories are
seeking locations in the South. The
capitalists behind the enterprise are
investigating the matter, and the loca-
ton of the factories will depend upon
the abundance and price Of the raw
material containing starch-principally
Irish and sweet potatoes.
Sumter should receive one Of these
factories, and if the proper efforts are
made i. can be done Iu this paper is
letter addressed to the Editor OF the
Watchmon and Southron by the Bailey
Lebby Co., of Charleston, asking for
answers to a number of questions
Will our farmers who can give salts
factory answers to any Of these ques-
ticus, write them ont at their earliest
convenience and mail to the Bailey
Lebby Co., Charleston, s c.
Sumter Township alone can raise
sufficient potatoes to supply a couple of
factories, aud it is our belief that
potat oes can be produced as cheaply
here as anywhere in the country. In
addition to the potatoes the caesava
root, wb;sa IS very rich in starch. can
be p.oduced cheaply and abundautly.

A NEGRO HOMICIDE.

Jim Robertson, who was struck over the
head with an axe, Thursday night near
Gains Mill, by Jim Mcdonald, died Friday
night at 9 o'clock. Mcdonald, the murderer
has made good his escape. The circurn-
stances of the killing as. learned re as fol
lows: Mcdonald and Robertson were raem-
bers of the same church, and Mcdonald lived
near Cain Mill Pond, where it was customary
to baptize.
Robertson went over to Mcdonald 8 house to
have talk about an approaching baptism
ceremony, but found that Mcdonald was not
at home. BE sat down to wait for him, and
vas talking with McDonald's wife when
Mcdonald came home and walked into the
house with ao axe in his hand. Whether
any words were passed is nor known by the
writer, but it is alleged that Mcdonald walk
ed over 10 Robertson and deliberately and in
cold blood struck him down with the axe.
The sharp side or blade of the axe penetrate
ing Roberson's scull. Robertson never re-
gained consciousness. 1t is, perhaps, the
most cold-blooded murder perpetrated in
Sumter County in years. This, however, is
only one side of the story and the testimony
at the coroner's inquest may bring out addi-
tional aud different information. Coroner W.
q. Commander went ont to-day to hold an
inquest over Roberson's body.
La,er.-lnformation received later in
reference to the above killing is to the effect
that Robertson was killed by Mcdonald in
SELF defence, aud in defence of Mcdonald 8
wife, whom Roberson was attempting to
assault. II is:: said that when Mcdonald
entered the house. Robertson attacked him,
and that Mcdonald struck him with the axe
in self defence
Sheriff Sanders has not succeeded in appre-
hending Mcdonald the murderer of Robinson.
Di!iRent search has been made, and officers
were out all Saturday. He seems to have
vanished from the country.
