Oar Last Effort to Interest the School Tr1ls-
tees.

We are receiving letters from friends
throughout the county with reference
to the trip for the children to the ex-
position, and we hardly know what re-.
plv to make. If the school trustees
could be gotten together some plan
could be effected we believe. but With
out their cooperation we do not see
anv chance of making the arrange
ments. 1t does strike US as peculiar
that our trustees cannot be induced 10
at least attend a meeting to aid IN de-
vising some plan. The impression mas
been created that an attempt would be
made TO drain ihe school funds for the
benefit of few, but there need be no
fear about that, we believe the trus-
tees if all will come can devise plan
by which something can be accom-
plished without any draining OF the
school fund. We have already men
toned the liberal attitude of Messrs.
W. E. Jenkinson, D. ". Alderman and
Thomas Wilson, and now we have q
letter from Charleston which is highly
appreciated by US, for it shows that
our efforts in behalf of the children IS
attracting attention. The following IS
the letter:
Charleston, s. c.. April Z, 1902.
To THE MANNING TINES:
see by your last Issue that you are making
quite an EFFORT to bring all the school children OF
Clarendon county down to Charleston IN oooy
to see the Exposition. feel that SO worthy an
undertaking should receive every poSSlo!s en-
couraSement. for the children, feel satisfied;
would enjoy every moment OF their visit, ana
besides. it would prove OF great benefit to them
from an educational standpoint. therefore
take the liberty Of stating through your col
uunns that will purchase and furnish to your
school children as many hundred ADMISSION
tickets to grounds as you may need.
If you succeed in arranging railroad transpor,
tation kindly let me know ahead, in order that
may make all necessary arrangements mere.
Very truly.
Now if our trustees will come to
Manning Monday May 9TH, the day the
county convention meets, and lmmeo-
lately after the convention adlours dis
cuss the exposition project, we believe
that good results will be obtained and
plan will be agreed upon by which
the children can have an opportunity
to see the exposition. There are some
trustees in the county who are as an
xious for the success of this movement
as we are, and they have taken an ac-
tive part in the matter, these will no
doubt be here to the county conven-
tion, and we hope every trustee will
be present on that day, as we cannot 60
into this matter without there is apret-
ty full attendance. AS soon as the
county convention adjourns meeting
of the school trustees will be called TO-
gether, and we hope every trustee at
tending will be prepared to say about
how many scholars will likely go from
the district he represents. If nothing
is done at the meeting on May 9th, we
will give the matter up entirely and
not make another effort to get the trus-
tees interested.

Better Than Pills.

The question has been asked, - IN what way
are Chamberlain'S Stomach and Liver Tablets
superior to pills." Our answer is: They are
easier and more pleasant to take. more mild and
gentle in effect and more reliable as they can
ALWAYS be depended upon. Then they cleanse
and inyigorate the stomach and leave the bow
els in natural condition, while pills are more
harsh in effect and their use is OFTEN followed by
constipation. For sale by The r. 3. LorTea

EARLY HISTORY OF THE RENOWNED
BEECHWOODS PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
An Interesting Sketch Of Persons and Events Almost Forgotten
Written by Our Townsman, Nnan Cooper.

The following early history of the
Beechwoods Presbyterian church was
written by Ninian Cooper, of Reynolds
Vile, and published in recent issue OF
the Brockwayville Record
On the goth day of July, 1S4l, Rev.
John wrsy and Miss Georgiana Dennis
were married In Philadelphia, Pa.
Shortly after they were married they
decided to go to India and devote their
efforts to the cause of missions. They
left Philadelphia in sailing vessel,
going by the way OF London and the
Cape Of Good Hope. It took them six
months to get to the end of their desti-
nation, and they landed in place
called Allahibad, where they settled
down and took up the duties of an
appointment. Mr.. and Mrs. Wray
started In with determined and devoted
hearts to the work OF their calling,
first learning the native tongue of the
people and very diligently and success
fully preaching to and teaching the
natives. They soon gained the conf
dence and espect Of the people in their
charge, and spent eight interesting
years In the work.
During that time three children were
born to them, two sons and daughter.
The eldest son died in infancy. The
second son, William, who now lives
with his sister, Mrs. Ross, in Dubois,
was then in poor health, and on his
account thinking the change in climate
would be beneficial to him they decided
TO return to the home Of their nativity.
In the summer Of lS49 they returned %
America and located at Philadelphil ia
where they remained during the fa!l
and winter of that year. About the
first Of May, 1850, they came 10 Clarrd
county where Mr.. Wray had hrotl Z
living.
At that time there was no PrOsny
terian preacher in the Beechwoods anG
Mr.. Wray learning of this fact, decided
that he would take a trip up through
this section, see the Beechwoods and III
people and as he was desirous of securing
charge, look up the prospects in tha
direction. So out he came arriving a
the home OF Elder Joseph McCurd,
May 25, 1850. Coming highly recon
mended by Rev. Montgomery, o
Clarion, and DR.. Cummings, OF Brook
vile, Mr.. McCurdy went around will
him for several days. They called OF
q number of the people and severa
members OF the church, and the officer

recollection when John Miller was
elected elder, From the first organi-
zation of the church to the time Mr..
Wray took charge in May, 1850, was
II years and six months. During that
time SO had enrolled their names on
the church books. OF that number
there are only five living namely, James
Cooper, Ann McCurdy, Sara Jane Pat
ton, Margaret Jane Tobin, and Eliza
beth Smith. OF the SO who were
members of the church at that time "a
are laid in the Beechwoods cemetery,
in the state of Iowa, in Prospect Hill

Luthersburg, 2 in Brockwayville, 2 In

of the church. Rev. Wray seemed to
be we'll pleased with the people and
they with him, and he expressed his
desire to preach to them on the coming
Sabbath. There was no available place
TO hold services at that time as the new
church was then in course of erection,
that is the church which was built and
used up TO the time of the erection of
the present church at Beechwoods.
The Baptist church on the hill above
James Cooper's was engaged, and the
old log school house, near the Waite
farm, which had been used for union
meeting house by all denominations,
professions, sects and colors for fifteen
years previous to that time, was en-
gagged and there was no place for Mr.
Wray to preach. In 1S45 just fl We years
previous to the time that Mr.. Wray
came to Beechwoods, James Ross had
built himself new frame barn which
was counted a very fine barn in those
days, and IL wouldn't b. a bad barn II ID
were new to-day. So few of the
members Of the church got together
and decided they would have MIR. Wray
preach in the barn. The place was
swept out and they put in blocks,
boards, benches, chairs and anything
that would make seat. They rugged
up stand about IS inches square for
pulpit. Mr.. Wray and the congrega-
tion assembled at the barn on Sunday
morning and proceeded with the SER
vices. Rev. Wray first explained the
23rd Psalm, then he preached from
the text, "For God speaketh once YEA
twice, yet man peceiveth it not, -
Job 3d. II.
AT this time there were only about
go or 50 living members in the Bee, b.
woods Presby terian church and tley
felt very poor. They had just built ne
church which cost was very heavy on
the small congregation. Finally the
members and supporters OF the church
and friends got together and they de.
cided to make Mr.. Wray an unanimou.

offer him $3.50 year for preaching one
half of his time in their church, and the
balance of his time he would be free tt

should choose to do. He accepted th,
call and at once moved his family tc
Beechwoods. The church was not quit,
finished at that time and he preached
