soon became pastor Of New Pisgah,-
congregation very largely composed
of members who had removed from
Smyrna and Bethany, S. c., and Pts
gah, n. c. For about three years fol-
lowing the pastorate Of Mr.. Oates, the
Smyrna pulpit was occasionally filled
by supplies In the spring Of 1871, a
second call was presented to DR.. r. A.
Ross, for one-half Of his time. This
call being accepted, he was installed In
May of the same year by Revs. E. E.
Boyce and Robert Latham. In 1873, the
church building erected during the
pastorate Of Mr. Castles was burned by
an incendiary, but with old time zeal,
the congregation with some outside
help, quickly erected another, that be-
ing the building that was torn down
last year to make way for the present
one. DR.. Ross continued pastor of
this congregation until 1890, when with
great reluctance in his own heart and
grief in the hearts Of his people, he
resigned on account Of the infirmities
Of age.
Again came a short period Of sup
plies, until 1891. In this year. Smyr-

HISTORY OF SMYRNA.
Interesting Data Covering a Period OF
Seventv- Five Years,

Seventy-Five Years.
The following is the interesting
sketch of Smyrna church that was read
by Rev. ]. l.. Oates in connection with
the dedicatory exercises last Saturday
afternoon:
About the year 1882, William McGill,
Esq, removed from Crowder's Creek,
in the northern part Of York county, S.
&C., where he and his wife were men,
bers Of Bethany church, to Kings
Creek, in the western part Of the same
county. Not far from the same time,
three brothers by the name of Black,
removed from the neighborhood of
Diamond Hill, in Abbeville county, s.
c., to the country between Kings
Creek and Buffalo in the extreme west
ern part of York county. These men
were sons of Joseph Black who was a
member of, and a ruling elder in Dia-
mond Hill Associate Reformed church.
These men and Mr. McGill, finding a
likeness in their church preferences,
agreed to join together in an effort to
secure preaching for themselves and
families, and to this end invited the
Rev. Thomas Ketchen Of the A. r.
church to visit them and preach for
them and baptize the children of one
of their number, Hon. James A. Black.
Mr. Ketchen appears to have complied
with this request promptly, for we find
that in 1884 he preached at the house
of Mr.. McGill. This was the beginning
of the movement which resulted in the
organization of Smyrna church. Soon
after this it was discovered that num-

Value of Property In London Compared
With New York.

Value of Property In London Compared
With New York.
A four-line cable dispatch in the
Sunday World said:
"The city of London proper covers
one square mile, and the capitalized
value Of the property within its Dor
ders represents $3.50, 100000, which,
it is claimed, establishes it as the
richest area in the world"
A comparison between London and
New York values is difficult owing to
the difference between lease-holders
in the one city and freeholds in the
other. But it may be questioned
whether a square mile of lower New
York has not passed in valuation
even the financial centre of the
world. Making deduction for its
narrow streets and its public build
ings, the portion of Londons 6SS
"city" acres actually occupied by pri-
vate property may be All acres. aver
aging $3,OOO,O0O an acre. nearly so
square foot.
For a small key" plot in lower
New York, not on Broadway or Wall
street, a price as high as $2S,OOO,OOO
an acre has been paid. For a plot OF
considerable size i'm the best part OF
Wall street $2O,OOO.OO0 an acre
would eagerly be offered, but no such
plot has been sold in a generation
and none is on the market. The So
called sale of the old custom house
was 50 scandalous and exceptional as
to form no criterion. AS high as SILL
100000 an acre was paid even before
the recent real estate advances for
part of the Flatiron site, on Madison
square. A square mile of lower New
York, bounded, say. on the north by
Beach, Walker and Canal streets and
on the east by line drawn from the
Bowery to Fulton Market, would con-
| tain the most remarkable group OF
business buildings in the world. 1t
would crowd old London very close

might, perhaps, surpass it.-New York
