membership has more than
doubled.
In 1896, Rev. A. G. Kirkpatrick
was installed over +he Brick
Church in connection w8h Pros
perity, in Newberry coun\y, ard
this pastorate continued until
1899, when he resigned on account
of i'll health. He has lately re-
covered his health and has been
preaching there regularly during
this centennial year.
The history of this old church
has been noble one.
Prof. Mckenzie, Of Georgia,
whose ancestors for three genera
tions are buried in the cemetery
around the old Brick Church,
says: THAT old Brick Church
has been a seed bed from which
trausplants have gone throughout
the south" After speaking OF
the names OF the families already
men toned in this sketch, he says:
IF | were in this ceme terry. i
could recall many other names
whose generations have carried
Presbyterianism from south
Carolina to the Pacific coast. I
recall two ministers, Revs. Joseph
and John +. Davidson, (who were
baptized in the Brick Church by
DR.. Rogers) who passed their
ministerial lives in North LouIsi-
ana. For thirty. five years Joseph
Davidson preached more sermons,
married and buried more people
than any minister in North
Louisiana. John E. Davidson
was graduate Of Princeton and
in three years organized six or
seven churches in Louisiana, but
he went away just as his star
was mounting"
The old communion service,
with It's waiter, tankard, cups and
Irish linen, more than a century
old, is still in the possession of the
congregation.

was the next pastor, and was in.
stalled 1882, and continued until
1913. Rev. Thomas Ketchin was
pabCor from 1911 ~ 1862. R3y.
Q. B. Belts was pastcr from 1856
until 1869.
'nr'"': 'he raetorofes of Raw
Rogers, Boyce, Ketchin and
part of the pastorate of Rev.
Belts, the Brick Church was a
large and tlourishing congrega-
ton. The membership was com
posed Of the wealthy and cul.
tured planters of the community,
and large crowds waited on the
gospel at the Brick Church. Mr..
Rogers taught a large High School
at Monticello near by, which was
attended by pupils from many
parts of the State. The Brick
Church was made up OF the noble
men and women Of the old South.
In 1884, the church and grave
yard were enclosed with a granite
stone wall, which VII stand, /
suppose, until time shall be No
more. The wall is made of large
blocks of granite laid in lime
mortar. James Kincaird, Jr..
gave the lime in which the blocks
were laid, and it was hauled from
Limestone Springs, now in Cher
okee county. The granite was
quarried by the congregation and
hauled to the church by the mem
bers, and the wall was built by a
man named Spurrier.
The war of secession played
havoc with the Brick Church. 1t
was left in state almost of dis
organization. Its men we're slain,
the homes Of many of it's people
were left in ashes by Sherman's
army, and the church itself was
dismantled and used as quarters
by the invading army. 1t is said
that out of 2S men ut the Brick
Church who went to the war only
one returned. The horrors of war
were severely felt by this people.
There is one little incident,
however, In connection with this
old church, that throws little
light upon the Dlackness of war.
When the Federal army came to
Little River, just at tie church,
they found that the Confederates,
whom they were pursuing, had
destroyed Kincaird's bridge over
the stream so they tore up the
flooring and sleepers of the church
and rebuilt the bridge. Some one
of the company was stirred in
heart as he saw the desecration
of the Lords house, and he wrote
In pencil on the doorfacing of the
church these words, which are
legible today, after the lapse of
38 years:
"Citizens Of this Community:
"Please excuse us for defacing
your house Of worship 80 much.
1t was absolutely necessary to
effect a crossing over the creek
as the Rebs destroyed the bridge.
A Yankee"
The names Of many other sol
diers with the number Of their
regiments are written over the
walls Of the church.
SO great was the blow from the
war and It's results that the church
declined year by year until it

Winnsboro, S. O.
This church is situated in the
western part Of Fairfield county,
South Sarolins, about ~ miles
from Winnsboro, the county seat.
1t sits in a beautiful grove of
hlckories and oaks, about 100
yards from Kincaid's bridge over
Little River. 1t was here that
the Synod of the Caroliuas, which
Is the Associate Reformed Synod
OF the South, was organized on
May 9th, 1903, and for this, as
we'll as other reasons, the history
OF this church Is full of interest
to all the people of the A. r. p.
The church was first
called Little River, afterwards
Ebenezer, but for many years it
has been known as the Brick
Church.
Whom it was orgonized We are
not able to say, but is is certain
that it was a preaching place,
and that there was a log church
there before the Revolutionary
war. The present brick church
was erected in 17SS.
Alexander Kincaid gave the
land upon which the church is
erected and James Kincaid and
others of the congregation gave
the brick sndother material out Of
which the church was built. These
men were large planters and
were officers in theRevolutionary
war. The names of the other
families who were members of
the church prior to 1871 were
Hawthorne, Turnipseed, Mont.
gomery, Cameron, Hutchinson,
and Mckenzie. Adam and John
Haw thorne were elders in the
prior to this time, and
James, John and Robert McKe-
mie were members. This eXhausts
our in information about the
church prior TO 1871.
Rev. James Rogers was the first
pastor of the church, go far as we
can learn. He was native of
Ireland, and came as a licentiate

Miss Katharine Bew, of Greenwood,

The complicated female organism is
90 delicately adjusted - to be easily
thrown out Of balance. As q result,
health and strength are affected by
divers diseases. Motherhood, family,
society all levy such drains upon her
strength that most women break under
the nervous tension. The demands
upon her nervous strength are much
greater than similar demands of the
opposite sex. Hence she must be sup
ment-iron-that gives strength. The
reason women feel tired and worn out
and suffer from headache, pains in the
back and limbs, etc., is because they
have used up their supply of iron.
Menstruation trouble is largely caused

A horrible accident to, four-year-
old boy is reported from the little
town Of Charleston, in Tallahatchie

Of William Quarles, cashier of the To-

uberance the boy jumped to his feet
after winning game, and seeing a
large, soft feather bed airing in the

the knife penetrated the little fellows
