WE ARE printing for two fold
reason the following extract from
the Southside Sentinel dealing
with Mr.. Christians speech at
SaIuda ON Courtday.
Ist. Because we want to show
that evan the opponents Of Mr..
Christian recognize lis merits and
that the knowledge of his ability
is not confined to his friends but
is admitted by men of good sense
and judgement like our friend. Mr..
Ryland.
end. Because the magnan-
imous and broad minded spirit
which led the editor Of the Sentl-
mel to so frankly acknowledg the
merits of Mr.. Christians speech
in spite of the fact that he oppos-
es his nomination deserves com
mendatiOn whenever and where
ever it is met. Would that such
a spirit was often showed for If
it were our political fights would
be on a higher plane and the
world altogether more pleasant
20 live in.
WE MUST congratulate the gen
tleman from Mathews, Mr.. /. T.
Christian. on his magnificent ora
toria; effort at Saluda Tuesday.
While he NAV not capture the
nomination he seeks. we can but
regard his candidacy as fortunate
ir that it has brought to light
another OF those incompatible
orators for which the good coun-
ty OF Mathews is justly famed,
and furnishes an exception to the
poetic declaration:
Full many a gem of purest ray
serene,
The dark unfathomed caves oil
ocean bear;
Full many a flower is born &c
blush unseen
And waste its fragrance ON the
desert air.-Sentinel.

The Grand Rally at Central.

The good Methodist people of
Mathews will long remember with
pleasure the rally at Central on
last Sunday aud the great things
which were accomplished on that
occasion. Nature seemed to smile
upon them and an ideal day tend
ed to largely increase the attend
ance. A magnificent. crowd filled
thu church to its utmost capacity
at both morning and evening ser
vices and many were compelled
to remain outside at the windows
as they could not get in the
church.
A quartet by Drs. Hoskins and
Walden and MesserS Mitchell and
James and solo by DIR. Hoskins
were interesting features Of the
morning services and i'll the even
ing quartet blythe same gentle
men and a solo by Mr.. Mitchell
added to the attractions Of the
occasion. Or. w. Ashbery Chris
tian delivered two very fine SET
mons during the day. the subject
OF the morning discourse being
Richm goodwoI ks and thatof the
evening The Geni1s Of Metho-
dism." Mr.. Christian possessed
the gift of oratory in a marked
degree and both sermons were
thoroughly enjoyed by the audi
ences.
Perhaps however the fine co..
lection received brought more Joy
TO the good church people than
any other feature Of the occasion
A debt of over four hundred dol
lars was hanging over the church
al the beginning of the conference
year. By great effort on the
part Of the most devoted of its
members about one=half of this
had been raised during the winter
and on Sunday an amount suffi-
Gent to cover the remainder Of
the debt(about $z2s. oo) was col
lected or subscribed. All honor
to those who have worked SO
faithfully to this gp0d end, they
have a right to- kel joyful over
this result.
