Stricken Blind in Pulpit.

Rev. John T. Morrison, a prominent
Baptist minister of Hampton, s. c., was
brought to Savannah yesterday and
placed in St. Joseph's hospital for treat
ment for organic troubles.
Several months ago Mr.. Morrison was
stricken blind while delivering sermon,
and was forced to dismiss the congrega-
ton and be carried to his home. Since
that time he has been on general de-
cline, although his sight has graduallyre-
turned, and his eyes,are now in fairly good
condition.
Mr.. Morrison was accompanied to Sa-
vannah by his brother, Capt. I. V. Morri-
son, and was met at the depot by his
nephew, DR.. A. A. Morrison, of Savan'
nah, who will attend the patient. :
The dramatic incident of Mr.. Morrison
losing his sight while delivering a sermon
attracted considerable attention. The
minister was taken to his home and an
examination made. It was found that
kidney troubles had been the direct cause
of the loss of sight, and he was treated for
this. As he improved his sight was re-
stored. but recently he has suffered much
from indigestion and after consultation
his physicians thought 1t best for him to
be brought to Savannah, where he could
be placed in hospital and placed on diet.
DR.. A. A. Morrison, who is attending
his uncle, stated last night that the patient
was in serious condition, but that it
was hoped that after some time OF diet
treatment he would begin to grow better.
He has led an unusually studious life,
and in his declining days seemed to grow
even fonder of Biblical research.
Mr.. Morrison is SO years of age and up
to the time that his sight failed him in
the pulpit, he was an active minister OF
the gospel. he suffered considerably with
his eyes, but his symptoms were not such
as to give any premonition Of collapse
Since he was stricken he has not been
able to actively engage in his work.

LORD OF A LITTLE ISLE.
Lieut.. Horton, of the Marine Corps, Sent to the
Hawaiian Islands.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-Second Lieut.
Je:er Horton, United States marine corps,
of Greenville, has just been commissioned
with the title of "Governor" by the navy
department and ordered to sail early in
December from New York for Honolulu
in command of division of 40 marines.
The little island to which Lieut. Horton
will take his band of braves is as yet un-
settled, and lies few miles from Homo
lulu. 1t is practically without inhabitants
and will be until Lieut.. Horton reaches
there. With the 40 marines the island
will be settled and the flag foated over it
in the name of the United States. While
the area of this island could probably be
measured by running line mile each
way, it will nevertheless assume all OF
the dignity of any other possessions be-
longing to the United States, and all ships
passing will, in accordance with navy
regulations, salute the flag and Lieut.
Horizons marines by fl Il the big guns
A coaling station will evidently be es
tablished there.
AS stated Lieut.. Horton will sail from
New York early in December for his
far away home.

ABRAlGNs BISHOP DUNCAN.
Suspended Methodist Minister Says Bishop IS
Autocratic and Imbecile.


ATLANTA, Nov. 27.-Rev. W. W. Wads-
worth's statement in reference to his sus-
pension from the ministry for one year
by the North Georgia conference on the
charge of immoral conduct, in which he
appeals his case to the public, contains
severe arraignment Of Bishop Duncan, Of
South Carolina, and the conference over
which he presided. he says in part:
1T is no wonder that justice miscarried
when man like Bishop Duncan, irrit-
able and insulting and autocrstic in man
ner, and manifestly bordering on imbecili-
ty, holds the reins.
when think of it I am almost inclined
to believe that suspension is happy lot
compared with being in the hands Of such
specimen of the Christian religion, and
such conceited autocrat in the church
of God.
"The body contains considerable band
of whisperers and assassins Of character !;
Of self-seeking ecclesiastical political
tricksters. Such body can not brand
me with shame in the light Of the record
which have presented. I am q victim,
but without fear Of these men, and with
the conscious innocence Of any wrong.
Let me also say, lest 7 be misunderstood,
that there are multitude Of good and
true men in the conference, but believe
them to be unconscious slaves, driven by
the whips of itinerant taskmakers Il Is
my purpose, at an early date, toturn on
the light in many dark places, and to
open before the public some sensations
that will stir Southern Methodism from
the Chesapeake to the Pacific"

COUNTRY NEWS LETTERS.
SOMEINTERESTING HAPPENINGS
IN VARIOUS SECTIONS.
News Items Gathered All Around
the County and Elsewhere.
Ehrhardt Etchfnss.

EHRHARDT, November 27.-There are
rumors that there will be three or four
more marriages in town soon.
Mr.. I. D. Copeland and wife were in
town Sunday.
Mr.. J. D. Jenny visited his wife's
parents Sunday.
Mrs. Dora Weimer is still confined to
her bed.
The children are talking about Santa
Claus, and some are writing letters to
him. Their way of posting them, is in
the fire place, so the smoke goes up the
chimney.
1t is rumored that darkey was killed
at hot supper over between Lemon and
Little Saltkatchie swamps. Did not hear
the particulars.
The farmers are hauling cotton seed
meal for another years farm. Three or
four cars have been shipped here for them.
Not much cotton seed sold here this
year, the price does not suit our farmers.
Some say they had rather have the cotton
seed, others that there is not enough
difference to pay for the hauling, still
others that the putting out in the spring
of the yearis so much easier and cheaper,
that they would haul the seed ten miles
to get meal for them; so it goes, and one
can't get an idea as to which is the best.
Some of our best farmers will not sell a
seed.
Our building committee will decide on
Tuesday as to the building of the bank
and prepare for letting the contract.
Mr.. D. NJ. Smith is rushing his house
to completion. When will it be, Dave !?
A party from this section went down
the country fishing last week. They say
the snakes were so bad that they had
to take too much "snake bite" medicine,
consequently could not do much fishing.
Mr.. A. W. Brabham was in town last
week. Says he will make enough top
cotton to pay all he owes, and will have
plenty money this year.

Think I Thunk q Lie.

And my heart was free from guile,
That there was grief in every tear
And joy in every smile;
And friendship was not a cheat
And love could never die;
But thinking now of what I thunk,
I think thunk lie.
1 used to think about myself
And think that I would be
A governor ora president,
Or general like Lee.
But have waited long in vain,
While years rolled slowly by,
And thinking now Of what I thunk,
think I thunk ale.
I used to think the ladies were
All sweetness combined,
That they were all Gods last and best
OF perfectness refined;
That they were not half pads and pain
But angels from on high,
But thinking now of what thunk,
l Think I thunk lie.
The preachers, too, I used to think,
Were not like other men,
And were not tempted of the flesh,
And could not therefore sin,
But since I've travelled round bit,
I've watched them on the sly,
Aud thinking now of what l thunk,
I think thunk lie.
The honest tiller of the soil,
When marketing his crop,
Takes pains to put the ripe and best
Always upon the top.
7 used to think those honest men
Would never cheat or try,
But thinking now of what thgnk,
I think thunk lie.
The editors, a lordly set,
Who live on milk and honey,
They've nothing else on earth to do
But write and rake in money,
Leastwise that way I used to think,
And now it makes me cry
To think about the way thunk,
And how thunk a lie.
What noble men the doctors are.
Iused to think they came
From heaven or some heavenly land
And worked for love and fame,
That they could cure all human ills
And never let US die,
But thinking now of what thunk,
think thunk lie.
The lawyers, too, I used to think
Oh! God forgive the thought
That their convictions Of the right
Could not by knaves be bought;
That they would not client rob
Or "sell" him on the sly;
But thinking now of what 1thunk,
I Think thunk lie.
The dry goods men are honest, too,
They swear they sell at cost;
I used to think they told the truth,
And all their profits lost.
1 thought yard was full three feet
Don't ask my reason why
But thinking now of what thunk,
I think I thunk lie.
The niggers, too, I used to think,
If once they were set free
Would make good honest citizens
Like white folks used to be,
But they have wandered far from grae
The chickens still roost high
And thinking now of what I thunk,
7 think I thunk lie.
"You seem quite fond of soup" sa
the landlady to boarder who had hi
three plates.
