Things have been very quiet
around Van Wyck all fall. Our
merchants complain of small sales
and light collections. Our cotton
ginners estimate the cotton crop
several hundred bales less this
year than last year around Van

prices has depressing effect on
our people, but they will learn an
instructive lesson or more ap-
propriateI y a destructive one.

sections of South Carolina they
are known and loved for their
Christian work. Mr.. Cauthen has
filled large number of the most
, important positions in his church
and has filled them we'll. He is q
man of great influence in the con
ference, and is held in the highest
esteem by his brother preachers.
For the last four years he has
served the Srartanburg district as
It's presiding elder, land the church
has prospered under his adminis-
tration. In all his duties he has
had a valuable helper in his good
wife.
Yesterday number of the
friends of the family visited the
home and extended congratulations
and offered beautiful and costly
gifts IN gold. Among the num-
Der were the officials of the Cen
tral Methodist church, who went
in body with their wives. Short
speeches were made by DR.. Car
Isle and Mr.. Cauthen and prayer
was offered by Rev. Chas. b.
Smith. At the conclusion of
these exercises the large party of
ladies ana gentlemen extended
their hands in congratulation, and
then Rev. Mark Carlisle, pastor
of Central Church, in name of
the official board of Central, pre-
sented magnificent tea set in
silver lined with gold. The great
waiter had the following appro-
pirate carving:
'Presented to Rev. A. J.
