DEDICATE new CHURCH.

OAR SWAMP CHURCH.

Received too late for last week issue).
Benson, August 81 The Cedar
Swamp Methodist church was erected
on the same plot of ground that the
present building now stands upon,
about the year 1850. DR. Jno Will
iams, who is buried in the cemetery
of the church, then a young mar,
took an active part in church affairs
and during the strenuous 70's when
m Dney was scarce and labor at pre-
MUM he and Capt John E Scott,
jealous member of this denomina-
ton, undertook to build another
church. The old building was of
larger size and the preserved mate
rial was utilized and one of smaller
size erected, Capt Scott doing the
greater portion of the work himself
being a man who, as some of US
well remember, was able to apply
his willing hands to any task.
This building served the congre-
cation until about the year 1895,
when the officers with the concur
renee Of the congregation, seeing
the necessity of another building,
began work. They were also handi-
capped for lack of means. After
several years of hard work and per-
severance the church was completed.
Last year it was nicely painted inside
and outside and now stands free of
al indebtedness, it being customary
with the Methodists that the house
used for the worship of God cannot
be dedicated to His service until it is
clear of all membranes.
On last Sunday Rev w A Fairy of
Kingstree delivered in his usual elo-
quent style an intellectual dedicato-
ry sermon, choosing his subject from
John X:10.
The officers of the church, taking
their places near the chancel, ad-
dressed the minister in the following
language:
We present to you this house, to
be set apart from all unhallowed or
common uses, for the worship of Al
mighty Cod
The minister then pronounced the
following sentence of dedication:
"Forasmuch as God has put it into
the hearts of His people to build
this house for His worship, and has
blessed them in their undertaking,
We solemnly dedicate it to His serv-
ice
After the dedication protracted
services were conducted by Revs }
4 Sojourner and W 4 Fairy.

and it seems that the cases are as far from being solved as ever. The detec- tives have been working night and day upon the perplexing mystery of six at tempts to wreck Louisville and Nashville trains. However, they are completely at sea.
 It has been suggested that differences of the past between the company and
 labor organizations might have resulted in some irresponsible persons wrecking the trains. However, MT. Brooks with great deal of emphasis denied such last night and said the question of workmen or unions did not enter into the case. Although six different sets of circum- stances have surrounded six attempts to wreck the trains no one has been ar- rested that was afterwards proved to- be connected with the cases
