CHESTER-The Lantern, October
2S: A Negro who says his name is
Peter Williams-but they sometimes
call him Peter Wilson-and that he is
from Barnwell, Columbia, Monroe,
Charlotte and other places, has been
all over the United States, has been
arrested by Chief Morgan and is in
Jail. He stole some articles from the
tent of Superintendent Hayes at the
chaingang, broke into Mr.. w. T. Greg
ory's house at Leeds, and committed
some other thefts. Some of the stolen
articles were found in his possession.
He bears the indications of being a
tough and a convict. ''..''Captain w. P.
Crawford, after delightful sojourn
with relatives here, has returned to
his regiment at Savannah. He is anx'
ious to 90 to Cuba.

day for d fortnight's visit 10 Chester
field. .'......"Arthur Long, son of our
esteemed Sheriff Long, left this week
for Charleston medical college. Ar
thur is bright boy and we predict for
him success in his studies. ''''''''We
learn from The Carolina Spartan that
the Euoree presbytery has settled a
troublesome matter iu satisfactory
manner. For more than a year some
of the ministers and laymen have felt
that the preaching of Revs. n. j.
Holmes and S. c. Todd has not been
in harmony with the standards and
practices of that church. These min
listers entertain and teach certain doc
triues as to sanctitication, or the second
blessing, or perfect love, or whatever
the disciples of this school call it, thai
are ut variance with the usual teaching
of Presbyterians. At the recent ses'
sion of the presbytery these two min-
listers were arraigned for investigation.
A special committee was appointed tO
examine them as to their belief and
teaching. After that examination
these preachers thought it best for
them to ask permission to withdraw
from the presbytery. Their request
was granted, and they received letters
dismissing them but at the same time
commencing them for their zeal earn
estness and Christian character. This
places them in rather an anomalous
relation. They are now free evange.
lists, provided they continue to preach
They cannot become pastors of d
church. That is about the way the
matter now stands.
