Inst "a llation of DR., Adams at Bethel.

The commission appointed by Bethel
presbytery to install DR.. Robert Adams
pastor of Bethel church, consisting of
Rev f.. f.. Gillespie. chairman; RevS.
III. j. Mills, w. J. Wyly and Ruling Ell
derS S. w. Patrick and w. E. Adams.
convened in the historical old chulch
the first Sunday of this month to dis
charge the duties assigned. The pas
tor-elect, Rev. Robert Adams. was for
several years pastor of the First Pres
byterian church Of Laurens and for
the last three years was president of
the Presbyterian College Of South
Carolina, situated at Clinton. He is
one of the ablest ministers Of the syn
cd and is recognized as one of the
leaders in all lines of Christian activ-
ity. Bethel church is the oldest Pres
byteran church in York county and
next to the oldest in the presbytery of
Bethel. 1t was organized in 1864.
Such strong preachers as Webb,
Adams, Watson, McAllister and Arro-
wood have served as pastor Of this i'm
portant charge and DR.. Robert Adams
is a worthy successor. A large con-
gregation assembled to witness the
impressive exercises. Many were pres
ent from Glover, Bowling Green and
the surrounding country. Rev. E. E..
Gillespie presided and preached the
installation sermon. after which he
propounded the constitutional ques-
tions Rev. II. J. Mills then delivered
an impressive charge to the pastor,
based on Paul's charge to Timothy,
Take heed unto thyself." Rev. w.
J. Wyly was expected to deliver the
charge to the congregation, but being
absent, Rev. II. ]. Mills took his part in
the service and delivered strong and
practical charge to the people. DR..
Adams enters upon his new work with
the brightest of prospects.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

Don't forget the good roads meet
ing in Yorkville tomorrow.
Mr.. ]. r. Killian is about cOmplet-
ing the erection of a cottage on South
Congress street.
The short time in the cotton mills
has had an appreciable effect on trade
The operatives, too, have felt the
pinch.
Chief of Police Love is being kept
quite busy a good part of his time try
ing to hold the automobiles down to
the new regulations.
There will be ball game on the
local grounds next Monday afternoon
at 4 o'clock, between the Fats and
Leans" The game promises to be
amusing.
1t is settled that Yorkville is to
have a creamery. AS the result or an
industrious canvass of the town and the
surrounding country, Mr.. Bridges
whose activities were mentioned some
weeks ago, has secured the subscrip-
ton of the $1,000 necessary for the
capital stock, and at a meeting of the
stockholders last Tuesday steps were
taken to perfect the organization OF
the company and to begin the installa-
ton of the plant at once. The neces-
sary building is to be erected on lot
on South Congress street secured from
Mr.. w. r. Carroll, and it is intended
that the plant shall be in operation
within ninety days. There is reasoA ito
believe that this enterprise will pSOve
of very great value, both to the town
and the surrounding country. Most OF
the subscribers are farmers. To make
the business pay, it will be necessary
to have plenty of milk and to have
plenty of milk there will have to be
plenty of cows. 1t will necessarily
mean the keeping of more cows than
are now being kept, and the milk, OF
course, will have to be sent to York
vile every day. The enterprise is quite
an important one.

REFERRING to our somewhat tlippant
statement to the effect that it would
be equivalent to business suicide for q
daily paper 20 advocate prohibition in
Columbia, the Columbia Record re-
marks quite seriously, and we be-
lieve, no less truthfully: mo hon
est policy the Record might pur-
sue would be business suicide in
Columbia, for the good people of Co.
lumbia, while about evenly divided in
sentiment as between prohibition and
county dispensary, would not endeavor
to punish any newspaper or any man
for the expression of honest cOnvic-
tions. The editor of the Record con-
trolls this paper absolutely, and if he
deemed it vital to the good of city and
state to favor a state prohibition law,
the fear of business suicide would
not deter him for a minute. There
are other things far worse, in his es-
timation, than an honest failure in
business, and one of these is loss OF
sell t-reSpect. Ine eultorlal goes Oh
with a statement as to the editors
personal attitude to the subject and
concludes with: However, the effort
is being made to discredit Mr.. Feath-
erstone because of his independence of
domination and dictation, and that ef-
fort may yet create a situation in
which his election will be deemed nee
essary in order to preserve freedom of
political thought and speech in South
Carolina"

In view of the charges and counter
charges that have been made in con-
nection with the political activity OF
Mayor Gaynor of New York, we have
been in some doubt as to what kind OF
man he was. There is no doubt OF
the fact that New York is a very cor
rupt city politically. 1t is not the
worst city in the country by any
means; but it is very corrupt. 1t has
been the policy of the party in power
to maintain hordes of place holders,
whose principal business was to round
up voters and keep them in line. May
or Gaynor discharged thousands OF
these, and while that could be taken
as a striking display of disinterested
patriotism, a prudent man in this day
and time would be slow to so charac-
terZe il, for the reason that few
months might show that there had
been no more material reform than
the change of one army Of hangers on
for another. But there is something
10 ne JuuSeu ny lne way haS VI 'hs
nor conducted himself when he thought
he was on the brink of eternity. Tell
the people, good bye!" This shows
that he was thinking of his fellow cit
izens instead of himself, and 1T is very
strange. I wonder why he did it?"
suggests no bitterness; but rather an
honest inquiry as to where the fault
ly something more than the mere time
server and demagogue. There are
many reasons other than for his own
sake, why the country will hope for
the recovery of VIM. J. Gaynor.

SAY 1T is UNFAIR.
AbbeviIe Baptist Association in re
the State VS.. Featherstone.

The following resolutions offered by
II. a. Graham were unanimously
adopted by the Abbeville Baptist as
suciatiOn in its session in the First
Baptist church of Greenwood, on last
Wednesday, just after the report on
temperance had been adopted. This
body is composed of twenty five
churches in Greenwood and Abbcville
counties.
Resolved |. That we as an aSSo-
citation put ourselves on record as dis
approving of the unfair and unjust
fight made on G. &. Featherstone, pro-
hibitiun candidate for governor by the
Columbia State, and especially do we
condemn the editorials, i'm that news
paper, advocating the use of intOXi-
cantS. and pretending 10 prove. from
Gods word, that the Holy Bible ap-
proves of drinking and that our Bless
I'd Savior endorses it.
Resolved >. That these resolutions
he sent To the following newspapers,
by the clerk of the body, with the re-
quest that they publish them. The
Columbia State, the Charleston News
and Courier, the Baptist Courier, the
Columbia Evening Record, the Green
wood Journal, the Greenwood Index,
and that we request all papers in the
state that stand for fairness. justice
and temperance to reproduce them.

Mr.. John G. Richards, candidate for
governor, is an enigma. In cOnVersa-
ton he is rational and pleasant, but
when he goes to make speech ne
deals in glittering generalities and
wholesale denunciations. He is either
deceiving himself, trying to deceive
the people or else there exists in Co.
lumbia the most putrid gang of thieves
on earth. And the funny part about
the whole business is that we believe
there is a bit of truth in some OF II
and no foundation for a part of It,
We confess he is too much of riddle
for us.-Gaffney Ledger.
The Ledger has evidently printed
Richards where it intended to print
Duncan. There is no doubt of the fact
that Duncan is an enigma; but in our
opinion, the biggest trouble with him
is that he does not know how to handle
the important and interesting case
he has. 1t is quite possible, however,
that as the result of his campaign, the
people of the state may eventually
demand a thorough cleaning up of the
whole business.

Eeatherstone Has First Claim

Featherstone Has First Claim
Some of the ti-prohibition papers
are greatly exercised over the prospect
of Hon. C. c. Featherstone's election
They realize that unless something Is
done to tear down his political strong
holds, unless the confidence of the peo-
pie be- shaken in him, Mr.. Featherstone
will in all probability be South Caro-
lina's next governor. Failing to find
any fault or shortcomings in the man
himself, his private or public life, they
would have the public believe that he
has been guilty of glaring inconsistent
cies in his views on the liquor ques-
ton. But what are the facts in nut
shell? Mr.. FeatherstOne. like every
other true Prohibitionist, has all down
through the years labored increasingly
To curtail the consumption of whisky
and to prohibit it's sale wherever pos
sible. He was loyal To the cause when
it was unpopular, when it cost some
thing to be a ProhibitiOnist. He has
always taken high ground in dealing
with this great moral question and has
had the moral courage to stand by ms
convictions. Who would dare charge
to the contrary ?-Edgefield Advertiser.
