A ?rief Biographical Sketch of tills
''.Milo mid Wllllug Servant ot God.
?jWilliam Gordon Novillo was born
oe Walhalla, S. C., about the timo
.Sit"? Boauroguard was calling upon
Anderson to surrender Fort Sumtor.
On his father's sido he is of English
descent and has inhoritod many of
tho sturdy qualities of John Bull.
On tho mot hov',i sido, ho is Irish, and
in some dogrco has fallon heir to tho
famous Irish Bull flashes of wit and
humor cropping out nt tin most un
expected times and places. With
the exception of ono your spout at
Princeton Seminary, his ontiro edu
cation has hoon obtained in his nativo
?Hate. Hois thoroughly furnished
for tho work of the ministry, having
spent tinco years at Nowborry Col
lego, ono at Adger Collogo, two at
tho Seminary at Columbia, and ono
at lVmcoton.
With tho exception of a year or
two at Frankfort, Ky., his ministry
has been pnssod in bia nativo Stato,
and tho groater portion of it in
Bethel Presbytery. Iiis f st chargo
was composed of Ninety-Six and
Cokesbury Churches in South Caro
lina Presbytery. From thenco ho
was called to Concord Church in
Bothel, from thenco to Frankfort,
Ky., and is onco moro in Bethel
Presbytery ns tho pastor of York
villo Churoh, in very many respects
ono of tho finest churches in the
Synod.
As a past?, v Brother Novillo soon
wins the confidence and lovo of all
his chargo. Gifted in remembering
names, affable and pleasant in man
ner, prudent and wiso in conversa
tioil, and withal deeply sympathetic,
tho passing years only strengthen
the chains that bind pastor and peo
plo together.
AB a preacher, Brothor Neville is
always instructivo, nover entering
the pulpit without beaten oil. Ho is
thoroughly Calvanistio, and no ono
con listen to him without discovering
the impress of the lamented Girar
deau. Ho is an intensely practical
preacher, but his exhortations, Uko
those in tho Paulino epistles, aro
founded upon doctrine. With a
clear voico and pleasant manner,
thoroughly proparcd and deoply in
earnest, it is literally true of Novillo
"While in the pulpit he fears not the
face of man."
Whilo Brother Neville is deeply
concerned in all that adds to tho
material and moral good of his State,
yet her spiritual interest is the bur
den of his heart. For years he has
devoted his time, labor and money
to tho causo of domestic missions.
With a largo pastorate and a cul
tured audience to greet him eacl
Sabbath, he will yet ride miles in thc
afternoon to preach in destitute
placets, and at any cost to himself 'nc
is over ready to heed tho cry, "Come
over and help ns." For years his
'guiding hand has been upon the home
missionary work of Bethel Presby
tery, and very muc'.i of thc success
of that work is due to his wisdom,
zeal and energy. At present he is
chairman of tho evangelistic commit
tee, and hjs fine administrative abil
ity, courteous bearing, force of will
and knowledge of tho field has
already placed thc work upon a sure
basis. Ile is pre-eminently fitted
for home missionary work.
While like the apostlo Paul, his
heart's desire and prayer for Israel is
th nt they might be saved, like the
apostle, tho claims of tho heathen
world also presses heavy upon his
heart. Under his leadership tho
Vorkvillo Church is supporting two
foreign Missionaries.
Bethel Presbytery has honored
Brothqr Neville with every position
within her gift. At the prcsont he
is a trustee of Davidson Collogo, a
Trustee of tho -Theological Semi
nary, Chairman of tho Synodical
Evangelical Committee, member of
tho Iixcoutivo Committee of Bethel
Presbytery and a member of tho
General Assembly recently held at
Now Orleans.-J. II. Thorn well, in
Southern Presbyterian.

Something About tho South Carolina
Regiments in tho Civil War.
Thero ls poetry in our past, thero
is deathless honor to South Caro
lina's gallant sons, but in writing a
short account of tho troops sont by
our State to tight tor hor troodom,
thoro is spaoo for littlo moro than
baro facts, and a list of names whoso
glory furnishes all tho beauty of my
thorne. .
For much of my information I am
indobtcd to our own bravo soldior,
Col. J. N, Brown, who not only boro
tim sufferings and privations of tho
Confed?rate camp, but won Confed?
ralo laurels as well, having been pro
moted to the rank of general.
To tho call for troops to defend
tho South this State promptly re
sponded by raising G5,000 troops;
20,000 of tlicso woro State troops, or
reserves, principally old men and
boys, verifying hor unparalleled patri
otism, robbed tho eradlo and the
grave.
The first gun fired in that immor
tal strugglo was not at Fort Sumter,
April mb, 1801, but throe months
earlior, from Morris Isla-..January
9th, 1801, by South. Cai oUna cadets,
commanded by Major Stevens. It
was discharged afr tho "Star of tho
Wost," a steamer carrying supplies
to Fort Sumter.
Tho Fourtli Regiment of South
Carolina Volunteers sent out
April 14, 1801, was composed of sol
diers from Andorson, Oconee, Pick
ens and Greenville. Its oflicers wore
Col. ,T. B. E. Sloan, Lieut. Col. C. S.
Mattison, Major J. II. Whitner,
Adjt. S. M. Wilkes.
Thero was littlo fighting on South
Carolina soil ; our soldiers mot thc
foo on tho battlefields of Virginia
and Tennessee and by thc courage
and patriotism tlioy displayed, proved
the spirit of 1770 was still a vital
spark, and that tho chivalry of the
South could produco the finest sol
diers, as well ns tho finest gentlemen,
vho world had ovor produced.
Tho first important battle was J Jig
Bethel, Juno 10th, 1801. The South
Carolinians who participated in tint
battle wore commanded by C?en. D
il. Hill. On July 2lst, 1801, toon
place tho battle of Bull Hun, or thc
First Manassas. In this fight wore
Generals Hampton, Kershaw, Bon
ham, Butler and Bec witii their com
mauds.
It was thero Con. Jackson wai
given Iiis soubriquet. Con. Beo ir
rallying hi? forces became impationt
and exclaimed : "Men look at Jack
son's brigade, it stands liko a stone
wall." Tlie name passed from tin
command to tho commander, and liai
become immortal.
Thc next important battle inwhicl
our soldiers engaged was on Ootobe:
2d, 1801, at Leesburg, Cen. N. G
Evans in command of tho Soutl
Carolina troops.
In 802 our mon participated ii
tho following battles: Williamsburg
Seven Pines, Gaines' Mill, Frasier'
Farm, Mcchanicsvillc, Savage's Sta
tion, Malvern Hill, Cedar Mountain
Second Manassas, Ox Hill, Soutl
Mountain, Harper's Ferry, Antietam
Sharpsburg, Frcdoricksburg, Sliilol
and Murfrecsboro.
In 1803 occurred the following
battles, in which thc 10th, 10th, lOtl
and 24th regiments took part :
Chancellorsville, Resaca, Nov
Hopo, Harrison's Mountain, Cottys
burg, Mills Valley, Chickamaugr
Richmond, Porrysville. In tho bat
tlo of Missionary Ridge tlioy did no
participate, beoauso they had mad
an unsuccessful attack on Knox villi
November 25th, and then relume
through Fast Tennessee to Virginif
In 1801 took place tho battles, o
Tim Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Col
Harbor, Dandridge, Fort Harriso:
and Richmond.
Con. Gist was killed at Franklin
November 80th, and was suceecde
by Col. Ellison. Capers.
Probably tho hardest fighting c
tho war was at Spottsylvania Com
House May 12th, 1864, in Tho Blood
AIIKIO. That battle lasted, withon
interruption, for 18 hours, and ii
Murfrecsboro, when tho fightiii]

Less Idqor Drinking.
Tho bullotin for tho Federal De
partment of Labor for July gives
figures to show that there hua been
a large decrease in tho consumption
of intoxicating liquors by tho peoplo
of this country. In 1880 tho con
sumption of distilled spirits in tho
United States was 2? gallons for
ovory man, woman and child ; in 1890
it was less than one gallon.
Such a ?ecreaso in thc uso of strong
drink probably never occurred before
among any people
Thoro has also been a decroaso in
tho uso of wino in this country. Thc
per capita of consumption of wino in
1880 was .29 of a gallon, and in 189G
it was .20 of a gallon.
But while there has boon some
decrease in thc uso of wino and a very
groat decrease in tho uso of whiskey,
brandy, gin and othor spirits, thc
consumption of hoer has increased
immensely.
In 1890 no less than 1,170,870,448
gallons of beer wore used in this
country. The beer used for medi
cines, in cooking and for other pur
poses except drinking, is compara
tively very small. Tho great hull
of thc beer consumed in 1890 wai
drunk. Tho per capita consump
tion of beor in 1880 was only 1.8f
gallons. By 1890 it had increased
to 15.10 gallons.
In spite of this fact there ie good
reason to believo that there has heoi
a great growth of temperance amour,
our peoplo during tho past eighteen
years. Thoir larger usc of 'mild
drinks is more than compensated foi
hy the great reduction of tho quan
strong and fiery liquors.-Atlanti

THE PRESIDENT S REPLY
To Spain's Peace Proposa!--No Money
Indemnity Demanded.
lt Demands the Absolute Surrender of Porto Rico* and the Island*
Adjacent to that Island and Cuba, to ?he Untied States, th?
Absolute Independence o? Cuba and Coaling Stations
in the Philippines and Ladrono Islands.
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 29.-Tho Cabinot disouBBod tho Presi
dent's answer to Spain's ponco proposal to-day and roaohod tho follow
ing conclusion :
Tho absolute surrender of Porto Rico to tho United ?Staion and
tho cossion of sovoral small islands adjacent to Cuba and Porto Rico
to tho Unitod States.
Recognition of tho indopondenco of Cuba.
Cession of ono of tho Ladrona Islands to tho Unitod States aa
coaling stat ion and the cession to tho United Statos of at least a coal
ing station in thc Philippines.
Tho question undecided ?B, what disposition shall bo mndo of tho
Philippine Islands as a whole. It oan bo stated that th oro is practically
no difforouco of opinion in the Cabinot on tho quoation of tho roton
tion of the Philippines Islands ns a wholo, all tho membors hoing op
posed to our acquisition of theso islands. There has been no dociflion,
howovor, ns yet on tho oxtont to which tho govornment will go in its v
decision respecting the futuro of theso islands, but it is probablo that
tho answor to tho Prosidont will oxpresatho willingness of thisgovorn
mont to loavc thc matter of tho futuro government of tho Philippines
ontiroly in tho hands of a joint commission to bo appointed by this
govornment and tho govornmont of Spain, Tho probability is that
tho United States will insist upon a guarantee of certain reforms in
govornmont in tho Philippine Islands.
Our answor will moko no mention of tho money indemnity.
Noithor will thoro ho any armistice at all. Tho answor will bo in tho
nature of an ultimatum, and if Spain does not ncoopt it BIIO will faro
worso in thc future. The noto from Spain, it is said, was a vory
adroit and equivocal dooumont, from reading which ono would think
tho only question involved was Spain.
Appnrontly Spain might not ronlly havo intended getting a direct
answer from us, but only to opon diplomat ic correspondence. This
govornmont will not have any such correspondono, but will mako a
straightforward statement of its present poaco terms for Spain's nc
ceptanco or rejection, naming conditions that uudor tho circumstances
aro reasonable and oven generous.

W. I., July 28.-Tho Port of Ponce surrendered to Commander C. II.
Davis, of tho auxiliary gunboat Di Aa yesterday. Thoro was no resist
ance, and tho Amoricans wore wolcorned with enthusiasm.
Major Gen. Milos arrived hero this morning at dnybrcnk with Gen.
Ernst's brigade and immediately started for tho town of Ponce, throe
milos inland, which capitulated this nftornoon.
Tho American troops aro pushing towards tho mount sins and will
join Gen. Henry with hip brigade at Guanica, which hns hoon captured
by our troops.
A light beforo tho lattor placo on Tuesday last was won by tho
American volunteers. Tho Spaniards ambushed eight companies of
thc Sixth Massachusetts and Sixth Illinois regiments, but tho enemy
was rcpusled and driven back a mile to a ridge, whoro tho Spanish
cavalry charged and were routed by our infantry.
Gen. Garrotson led tho fight with tho mon from Illinois and Mas
sachusetts and tho enemy retreated to Yanco, leaving four dead on tho
hold and several wounded. None of our mon woro killed and only
three were slightly wounded.
The Porto Ricans are glad the American troops have landod and
say they aro all Americans and will join our army.
The roads arc c(ood for military purposes. Our troop^aro healthy
and Gen. Miles Bays tho campaign will be short and vigorous.
Gen. Miles lias issued thc following proclamation :
"In tho prosecution of tho war against tho Kingdom of ?Spain by
the people of the United Statos, in tho cause of .liborty, justice and
humanity, its military forces havo como to occupy tho Island of Porto
Rico. They come homing tho banners of freedom, inspired by a noblo
purpose to Beek tho enemies of our government, of yours, and to destroy
or capture all in armed resistance Thoy bring you tho fostering arms
of a freo people, whoso greatest power is justico and humanity to all
living within their fold. Hence thoy release you from your former
political relations, and, it is hoped, insure your cheerful acceptnnco of
tho government of tho United States.
"Tho chief object of tho America), military forces will ho to ovor
throw the armed authority of Spain and givo tho people of your beau
tiful island tho largest measure of liberty coneistont with this military
occupation. Thoy havo not como to mako war on the pcoplo of tho
country, who for centuries havo been oppressed, but, on tho contrary,
they bring protection, not only to yourselves, but to your property,
promote your prospetity and bestow tho immunities and blessings of
our enlightenment and liberal constitution and govornmont.
"It is not their purpose to intorfero with tho oxisting laws and
customs, which are wholesome and beneficial to tho people, BO long as
they conform to tho rules of tho military administration, order and
juslico. This is not a war of devastation and desolation, but ono to
givo all within tho control of tho military and naval forces tho ad
vantages and blessings of onlightcd civilisation."
Adrice to Candidates,
An astuto politician in giving ad
vico to candidates says : "Don't stay
too long in ono place-keep moving.
Always be in a hurry. Five minutes
is long enough to stay in ono placo ;
for if you stay long they will havo a
chanco to pump you. Don't allow
yourself to hinder any one. Try to
make a good impression, but don't
stay long enough to ruin it. Go to
every house you can and soo tho
lady if the man is not at home, and
toll hor your business-who you aro
and what you aro running for. In
niuo times out of ton it will do ju3t
as well as seeing tho man himself.
Women usually are bettor judges of
character than men, and if you make

And children you sccuro tho voting

of tho stand sat tho jig water crowd.
Their liquor-loavouod sallies were
direotod at tho gubernatorial candi
dates, oxcopt Governor Ellorbo, who
in some way was fortunato enough
to escape tho dose that was adimin
istored to Ids six competitors. Col.
Tillman's tussle with them brought
from him tho statement that thoy
were mobilizod in tho intorost of one
of tho candidates, whoso name lie
did not culb and that this was thc
beginning of a oampaign of freo dia
ponsary liquor to accomplish some
body's election.

Mr. Whitman's appoaranco made

Tho rcdoubtablo G. Walt finally
squelched thom with tho remark :
Whiskey has ono virtue It brings

Tho Hquorite8 and cx-squattors
gavo Govornor Ellerbo the gladhand
and were oagor to hear him on tho
dispensary quostion. Tho Governor
doolarod he had boon ono of the first
persons, to join the "llefann" moyo
mont, but that ho had been eleoted
Governor ns thc cxponont of j;oaoo
and unity. "Thoro are," said ho, "a
certain sot of politicians and a littlo
sot of moroenary newspaper editors

have slandorod and abused mo bo
cause they could not uso mo. I defy
them to moot mo lace to face before

"How far you think you'll get?"
was tho salutation from a liquoritc
as Col. Tillman came forward. Oth
ers chimed in with ejaculations of
moro or loss relevancy, until Undo
George told them they had bettor go
baok to Uoko and sloop off thoir
drunk. Somo of the crowd bogan to
howl and spit lire, and Uncle Gcorgo
thundorcd at thom : "This is the first
time dispensary whiskey has bcon
used at tho meetings in tho interest
of tho political machine that is back
ing one of tho candidates for Govor
nor. Ho ought to terell you bettor
manners or take you around and ex
hibit you." Howling was redoubled,
and Undo George doolarod this was
an indication that from now on until
tho 30th of August free dispensary
liquor would flow from thc moun
tains to tho sea to carry the elootion
for ono of tho candidates.
In my report of tho Chester moot
ing yesterday in somo unaccountable
way ono word was changed in Col.
Tillman's speech, making him favor
"prohibitivo" liconso, whon ho said
"private" license. Whilo thin was a
manifest error of the typos, tho tolo
graph or the fast gliding pencil, yet
Undo Gcorgo was emboldened to get
up a man of straw, and declare that
Tho Nows and Courior and the Stato
"distorted" his remarks. Ile is hcro
by assured that as a poaco offering
thc "distorter" will bo oru.uHcd if he
show his head, hands, foot or faoo

Col. Sohumport nlso faced tho
storm. Aftor buffeting it for ton
minutes ho said ho hoped tho docont
people thoro would eliminato tho
trash. Ho prognosticated a littlo,
saying that ho was going to bo Gov
ernor, and that Ellerbo would not bo.
At any rate ho could guarantoo that
ho would sustain whoovor was eleoted
bettor than tho drunken howlers
would.
Col. Watson nipped tho first
howler in tho bud by offering him a
silver dollar to shut up. Ho was
very omphat'o in denying that ho
had abused Ellorbo. What ho said
was simple faot and truth. Ho
thought it waB peculiar that Ellerbo
did not go to Horry. If it had boon
himsolf ho would havo gono thoro to
assort his manhood if they hud ?mt
him in tho river. Boing interrupted
frequently, he said ho did not want
tho votes of drunken howlers.
