employed Todd & Benson, architects,
of Charleston to draw plans of the
new building. The contract was
awarded to Lane & Huggins of Mul-
lins and in the early part of the pres
ent year active operations were oe-
gun.
The cornerstone was laid with
Masonic ceremonies Monday after
noon, May -, in the presence OF a
vast concourse of people from many
sections of the county and the State.
All business was suspended during
the exercises, the school was dis
missed for the day at noon, and
thoroughly representative audience,
composed of all denominations,
heard the addresses and witnessed
the beautiful ritualiStic service Of
the ancient order Of Free MaSons,
under the direction Of Most WOr-
shipful Grand Master James r John
son of South Carolina. The corner
stone bears the names of the pastor
and the building committee.

said it could not be done and that we
were not able to build, but persistent
effort won in the end ,and our people
have had revealed to them their own

Previously to this time the Metho-
dists held their services in the coun-
ty court house. The church was at
first and for number of years one
of the regular appointments of a
very large circuit, extending all the
way from Lynchburg to George
town, and comprising quite as much
territory as now does one of our
present districts of the South Caro-
lima conference. The church was
first made station in 1876.
During this year the church was
remodeled and the Florence district
conference held its session in the
building. SubseQuently the church
alternated between circuit and sta
ton work till the year 1895. when
it became a station permanently and
ever since has continued TO grow and
prosper, until today the church is in

Brief History of Kngstree Methodist Episcopal Church,
South and It's Handsome New EdifiCe
Centre of Methodisn1= Building Committee

The building which is nearing com.
pletion is of brick, with exterior &C.
ment finish. The auditorium is 54x54
feet, while the dimensions of the en-
tire building are 64x90 feet. 1t con-
tains auditorium, Sunday-school
rooms seven class rooms and pastors
study. 1t has a seating capacity of
six hundred; inclined floors and four
entrances. The choir loft is elevated
and at the rear of the pulpit.
The architecture is of Gothic de-
sign, and every line is perfect. The
ceiling in the auditorium consists Of
four beautiful arches which meet in
the center, giving to it lofty and
exquisite appearance. The roof will
be covered with tiling. The building
is furnished throughout with loaded
art glass windows. The two large
windows, 10x23 feet and facing the
streets on which the building is sit
uated, ARE especially handsome in ar
tistic design and coloring. In one
of these windows appears the figure

a fourishing condition, having a
membership of two hundred and
seventy.
Realizing that the old building
was entirely inadequate and did not
represent them, the congregation
made several attempts during the
past ten years to erect more mod
ern house of worship. These at
tempts all ended in failure. Early
last year the question of a. new
building was resumed and after dis
cussion it was determined to build
at Cnce. Accordingly the pastor,
Rev w A Fairy, named the following
aggressive young men of the con-
gregation as building committee:
Messrs F w Fairey, chairman; A c
Kinds, secretary and treasurer; J F
McFadden, A NJ Gordon, E G Epps,
P H Stoll, L j Stackley, T Olin Epps
and H D Reddick. This committee
under the leadership of the pastor

The comfort of the building will
be enhanced by the installation of a
modern steam heating plant and
comfortable pews. Situated on
beautiful lot at the corner of Acad-
emy and Church streets, near the
center of the town, the new building
will present a most attractive ap-
pearance.
The congregation have been liber-
al and generous in their contribu-
tions to this most worthy enterprise,
and are justly proud that success has
crowned their efforts and that very
soon they can worship in one of the
most beautiful and up-to-date
churches in the State.

The history of Methodism in
Kingstree dates back to January 81,
1853, when Alexander Isaac Nc
Knight donated the lot whereon the
present church building stands. A
short while after this, Benjamin R
Pendergrass erected, almost entirely
from his. own resources. a large
frame structure to be used for pur-
poses of divine worship. The build.
ing was completed and formally ded.
icated in the year 1857.

Kingstree, the capital of Williams
burg county, is a progressive and
thriving little city and is fast forg-
ing to the front as a busy agricul-
tural center, TIE recent purchase Of
splendid district parsonage here
makes kingstree the lawful head of
the district. The building of such
church, therefore, means much for
Methodism and marks a new epoch
in the religious life of the commu-
nifty.
There are, of course, larger and
more expensive churches, but for
real artistic beauty, convenience and
comfort we feel that this church is
not eclipsed by any in the State.
