Heath Spring News.

Rev. John S. Croxton, the we'll
known Baptist minister, was
stricken with paralysis while in
the pulpit preaching Sunday
morning. Soon after he began
preaching the congregation saw
that something was wrong with
with him. Instead of talking in
his usual straight along manner
he kept hesitating, repeating his
words, and so on. After about
ten minutes he closed the Bible
and sat down. DR.. Hinson went
to him and they bathed his face
in water. Some one suggested
that he lie down. He heard them
and at once started out Of the
church. He was asked if he
could go without assistance. He
replied, "Oh, yes" These were
the last words that he spoke. He
was able to walk home, however,
about a hundred yards away, and
to get in the bed himself. Then
he became unconscious and at
last accounts he was still in this
condition.
Mr.. Croxton is a good preacher,
a man of strong force Of character,
and greatly loved by his people.
Probably no man in the county
has as great influence as he, and
he uses that influence for good.
Mr.. Amory Crockett received a
telegram Sunday morning stating
that his father, Mr.. Stanhope
Crockett, of Yorkville, had died
the night before. No particulars
were given. but it is supposed
that he died suddenly, as it was
not known that he was sick.
Mr.. Crockett used to live here
and was well liked by everybody.

Indignantly CrIticiSe Congress
and the President for Allowing
Roman Catholics to Erect a
Chapel at West Point.
Minneapolis, Mimi, May 49,
Sunday observance was the ques-
ton which took the major part of
the Presbyterian Assembly's time
to-day. Most of the long after
Moons session was devoted to an
earnest and often excited dis
cussion on the part of the special
committee on Sabbath observan.
ces. In the end the committees
eight resolutions were adopted
with slight amendment, and two
were added.
In the discussion the Sunday
street car, the Sunday train and
railroad excursion, the Sunday
newspapers, the Sunday working
Presbyterian and every form OF
activity which is not in harmony
with the literal meaning of the
Fourth Commandment was con-
demned. Indignant command.
ments were made when another
special committee reported that
it had not been able to keep con.
gress and the President from
granting the Roman Catholics
permission to erect chapel on
the West Point Military Academy
reservation.
In the debate on the Sabbath
resolutions almost every speaker
gave evidence of being imbued
with the feeling expressed in the
words of the committee. "The
American Christian Sabbath is in
iminent peril in fact, in many of
our large cities and in other parts
of our land, it is already nearly
lost. This means that American
liberty and American institutions
are in peril, for of these the
American Sabbath has been both
the foundation and protection. "
An attempt to get the phrase
"Christian Sabbath" substituted
for the phrase "American Sab
bath" in the resolution was de-
feated.
AS adopted the resoltions dep
recate the secularizing of the Sab
bath, urge members and young
people of the church to realize
the importance of Sabbath OBJ
servance, Legislatures and Con-
gress are urged to protect the
American Sabbath. the American
Sabbath Union and the Woman's
National Sabbath Alliance are
commended, every pastor is re
commended to preach on Sabbath
observance on some Sabbath of
next October and to take a col
lection for the Sabbath Union :
the board of publication is re-
quested to prepare and Sabbath
school superintendents to use a
specific Sabbath observance leaf
let, sympathy is expressed with
three millions of Americans, who,
because Of Sabbath desecration.
are compelled to do secular work
on the Sabbath. President Nc
Kinley's attention is respectfully
called to the fact that EMPLOYEES
of the postoffice and many other
Departments of the Government
are compelled to work on Sunday.

To the Editor OF The state.
| see by The State received
this morning that Gen. Hampton
declines the public subscription
to rebuild his house.
This is very creditable to him,
and what might have been ex-
pected, but | trust the project
will not be abandoned. The mat
ter ought to be put in the hands
of committee with authority to
ask for bids to rebuild the house
meantime collecting the money
to pay for it. | am quite sure ev-
cry patriotic man and woman in
the state would be glad to help in
a movement so eminently proper
and praiseworthy.
l am ready to act in any capac-
ity where it is thought can be of
service, and to make my contri-
button.
M. O. Butler.
We agree fully with Gen. But
ler. The movement ought not to
be abandoned, but rather com.
mlttee should be chosen to direct
it. We take the liberty of nomi-
mating Gen. Butler as chairman
of that com mittee. AS Hampton's
former lieutenant in war and
colleague in the senate, and
friend always, he is eminently
qualified to lead. What say the
peoplel-The State.
One of them says, Amen g.! And
he believes they all do.
X y
The State goes on to say:
Gen. Hampton holds no office.
He has saved no money. He has,
we believe, plantation in Mis-
sissippI, but our information is
that it is heavily mortgaged and
yields only two or three hundred
dollars a year above the interest
on the mortgage. His land In the
suburbs of Colum bia is also, we
are advised, covered by a mort
gage. If he were a wealthy or
well-to do man, or even in com
Portable circumstances, we would
acquiesce in his refusal to accept
aid. But the case is such that to
acquiesce in it would be greater
disloyalty to him than to overrate
it. A lady who went out to his
place informs us that she was
shocked to find him utterly desti-
tute. We cannot be silent, even
in respect to his pride, when we
get such advices as these. In
such circumstances we deny that
he has right to say mo" to his
friends, and they will deny it also.
We suggest that Gen. Butler
take the lead and select a com
mittee to assist him; that they
meet in Columbia and determine
the course to follow. That is the
best and quickest way to bring
about practical results.
TO which | again say, amen! 1t
is pity that one who has done
as much for his people as Hamp.
ton has should, through misfor
tune. suffer for the necessities and
comforts of life-and it should
not be allowed. HIS pride-com
mendable pride though it is
must not be allowed to stand in
the way. Let the suggestions OF
Butler and The State be acted
upon--at once.
