colonIsts meant condition little short

"In che language of holy writ" said
he, there IS a time for all things. a
time to preach and a time to pray. but
those times are passed away. There is
a time, too. in which man must fight
and that time now has come"
Then he pronounced the benediction.
THE CALL
For 30 seconds or more there was a
stiffness such as the little church never
had known before in times when the
congregation were present Then, slow
ly and reyerently. the pastor took off
his prieStly robes and stood before the
congregation in the uniform of a Con-
tinental colonel. Laying his clerical
dress on the pulpit rail and drawing his
sword, he descended from the pulpit.
Beat the drums! Beat the drums for
recruits" he called to boys he had sta
toned at the church door.
AS the sound of the drumbeats was
heard there was a scene in that rude
little church at Woodstock such as the
American Revolution, rich as 1t is in
glorious examples OF patriotic devotion
of the people, affords no parallel
Thrilled to the highest degree by the
man, men struggled through the
crowded aisles' or climbed over the
benches in their eagerness to shake his
hand and to be ranked among his fol-
lowers. Old men brought forward their
sons. wives their husbands and Wild
owed mothers their boys to place them
under the pastors parental care to fight
the battles of their adopted country.
Wonderful. indeed. was the record
made that day in that frontier church
Nearly 300 men of that congregation en-
listed that Sunday under the banner of
John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg, and
the gown the young clergyman laid on
the pulpit rail never was worn again.
A fine American was Peter Mullen
berg Che dropped the John and Gabriel
from his name after leaving the minis
try. From out of the Blue Ridge val
ley he got nearly every able bodied man
to serve before the war was over and
he himself was In the strife from first
to last. His appointment as colonel
had been made on the recommendation
OF George Washington and Patrick

worship never had held before. For SO
miles or more about the parishloners
had assembled so that when the shsp-
herd of the flock ascended the pulpit
the benches were filled, the alsles
crowded and the doors and windows
choked with people. The pastor was
only 90, tall, clean-limbed, athletic. He
had none of the orators gifts except
fervor and simplicity OF statement. 1t
was his farewell sermon he was to

into his subject, He told his congre

Quiet Wedding.

Last Thursday afternoon at $3.50
o'clock a very simple but impressive
ceremony took place at the home of
Mrs. G. w. Garland, when she gave
in marriage her daughter, Birdie
Gill, to Mr.. William E. Free.
In accordance with the wishes of
the contracting parties, only few
members of the family were present.
The parlor where the young people
plighted their troth was decorated
with pot-plants in very tasty
manner. The bride looked very at
tractive in her going-away gown of
brown Shantung with hat, gloves,
and accessories to match.
They left on the six o'clock train
amid a shower of "rice and good
wishes" for Charleston and Sulli-
vans Island. They expect to visit
Hampton before their return, after
which they will be at home to their
friends at the Garland house. K.

NEWS AND NOTICES
The sermons by the pastor Sunday
both had reference to our coming
meeting to begin next Sunday. The
idea that he would have us all get
hold of is that this week is prepara-
tion week for service, by self-exami-
nation, prayer, and conservation.
Christ said, "He that is not for
me is against me-" There is no neu-
trail ground. The Indifferent, un-
concerned church member is reckon
ed against Christ, while protesting
to be for him. Who can afford to
occupy such position?
I. Let each member try to lead some
one to Christ during these meetings.
Let US all pull together, pray to-
gether and each stand in our places
as an army ready for battle and God
will bless us and give us the vic
tory.
I trust all will give careful per-
sonal thought to the timely article

to get right with God.
Since our best interests here and

we spend a little time more profit
ably than considering this vital SUBJ
ject.

The WaterwOrkS.

The material for the waterworks
is arriving, and work on the system
will commence very soon. The
board of public works has bought a
tank Of $4,000 gallons capacity,
which will be placed on a tower 100
feet high. Wells will be bored on
the lot at the electric light plant,
and a reservoir constructed which
will hold $4,000 or $4,000 gallons.
The water will be pumped from the
wells into the reservoir and from
the reservoir into the tank, and as
the reservoir will be kept constantly
full, this will give a reserve supply
of water in case of fire. Eight inch
wells will be bored.

Search for White Criminal.

Little Rock, June 21.-Little
Rock and its suburbs were searched
tonight for an unidentified white
man who, it is charged, beat into
insensibility and assaulted a young
woman in an Office building here to-
day. A student at a local business
college says she was called to the Of
flee building with promise that she
would be given clerical employment.
She was met by a young man, who,
she declares, overpowered her and
assaulted her, after she was bound
and gagged to preyent an outcry.
Her face and neck are badly bruised
and her condition is regarded as Sc
rious.

Circulation Increasing.

The new subscribers are coming in
at great rate, and we feel confident
we will have at least two thousand
subscribers when our great popu-
larity contest closes. Our circula-
ton now is something to be wonder
ed at for a small county like Bam-
berg, and it shows that there must
be merit in the paper or people
would not spend their money for
subscriptions. Our friends are cor
daily invited to come in and see the
paper printed and see for themselves
what our circulation is.

Happily Married.

Mr.. w. E. Free and Miss Birdie
Gill were happily married last Thurs
day afternoon at five o'clock, at the
home of the brides mother in this
city. Rev. o. J. Frier, pastor OF the
Bamberg Baptist church, was the or
fciating minister: The Weddlng
was a very quiet affair, only the near
relatives of the contracting parties
being present.
The happy young couple left on
the six o'clock train for Charleston
and seaside resorts, where their
honeymoon will be spent. They will
be away about two weeks, and on
their return will board at Mrs. Car
lands until they go to housekeeping
in their neat little home on Bridge
street, which Mr.. Free recently pur-
chased from Mr.. R. NJ. Bruce.
The groom is a son of Clerk OF
Court G.. B. Free, and is a young at
torney of the local bar, having been
admitted to practice some months
ago. His many friends predict a
bright future for him.
The bride is the eldest daughter
of Mrs. S. R. Garland, and has al
ways been exceedingly popular with
old and young. She is a young wo-
man of gracious manners and fine
character, and Mr.. Free is to be
heartily congratulated on winning
her for his bride. These young peo-
pie start life most auspiciously, and
with the hearty good wishes Of a
very large circle of friends. They
received many handsome and useful
presents. The Herald extends sin
cere congratulations and good
wishes.

Painful Accident.

Mr.. L. B. Fowler met with most
painful accident at the oil mill Tues
day afternoon. A heavy piece of ma
chinery was being moved on rollers,
and the roller ran up on his left
foot, MASKING it badly. While the
foot is badly bruised, no bones were
broken, and his many friends will be
glad to know that he is getting along
nicely. He will be confined to the
house for some weeks of course, but
no serious results will follow.

the methods. the motives, the en-
vironments or the achievements of
Governor Hadley. They had best
consult those who do know before
making public their private
grievances.
With an eye single to the welfare
of the state and the advancement of
its political, moral and material inter-
ests, while seeking to act in the name
and according to the policies of the
party which nominated and elected
him, Governor Hadley approaches all
questions which come before him de-
liberately and in a business like way,
and makes decision as often against
the wishes of his friends as in their
favor. He is pre-eminently a man of
the people. and never loses sight of
the fact that he is %transacting the
business of the people. not that Of the
politicians. This may not be just the
right policy for him to pursue, in the
judgment of some of his critics, but
it is a very sane and a very safe pol
icy. to say nothing of its patriotism
and its fdeiity.-Press Bureau.
Morgan County republican. (Versailles, Mo.) 1906-1914, 1909-06-03

a vas elected governor last year,
and that, in politics, Missourians arc
nothing if not Democratic. That
they were deluded is a better con-
clusion than that they were stupidly
indifferent to the welfare of the state,
because it is humiliaung to believe
that such a body of men could will
fully ignore their deity to the state
unless deluded with the belief that
the Democratic party is the state.
Democrats have SO long controlled
Missouri that they have come to re-
gard it as their property-as an asset
of their party-and to iook upon a
Republican, in a state Office as an
intruder to be hedged about and re-
strained until he quits his job. They
still believe that the election of a
Republican governor was an accident
to be deplored, an unfortunate slip Of
the feet OF the people rather than an
advanced step in political progress.
They can hardly realize that a people
long welded to the slow going, easy
methods OF the old Democratic party
and always ready to listen to the
vagaries OF populism and Organism
have at last awakened to their own
interest. regretted their de,usion and
determined to avoid the misfortunes
of the past.
Yes, let US be charitable. These
obstinate Democratic senator's, like
thousands OF Democrats of the moss
back species, who are in sympathy
with them, are still deluded. They
cannot believe that Missouri is a Re-
publican state. We must keep on
trying to show them.-Press Bureau.
