The farmer is Ibo backbone of Ibo
world; therefore they (tho farmers)
should stand up for the rights of
their wives and children. Why Iel
..our wife kill herself by so much
drudgery because of Hie little neces
sary Illings you cannot afford your
comrade? Mr. Carmor, why not do
as the city dudes and cotton gam
blers tell Ibo Legislature io pass a
law to prohibit country children
working inore i han eight hours per
day? if ?hal wei? a law, children
would ha v.. a few hours for daily
study. Tho farmers' children stay at
home and work 'while the city chil
dren go lo school. Then, when the
lest comes, where are the fanners'
children? What standing have they
in the business and educational cen
ters?
Yes, the fanners can feed and
Clothe the city people, and then be
pushed back, while the City loafer
triumphs over the farmer because he
is a dirty, uneducated working man.
The schools for thc illiterate will
aways have to be kept up If the ris
ing generation is not given a better
opportunity tor an oducation than
they have been given In the pa?fc I
hoard a fanner say the other day
that when he was a little boy he
couldn't go tb school more than half
his time befranse he was afraid that
when he had worn out the clothes he
had be would ?tot be able to get
more. Half his school days were
spent in cutting and hauling cord
wood and cross-ties to help support
the family. This farmer dow has a
family. Can he educate his children
with any more ease than his parents
in their efforts to give him the little
education he has? No.
Tho colton gamblers have caused
the farmers to suffer moro llnaneially
than tho war. Many hard-working
farmers do not know the news in the
surrounding communities because of
the fact thill they canot afford to sub
scribe for any of tho papers of their
county. Why'.' The cotton buyers
knew the reason.

The interesting and impressive ex
ercises of this day, inciden: to the
rededication of this historic church,
bring vividly to mind these lines of
the poof, Cowper. In which ho paints
for us such a true and beautiful pic
ture of the House of Cod. Let us
learn anew the lesson they teach,
and lind here within thee walls,
though built by the hand of man. tho
sacred precincts that constitute tho
sweet trysting place of the *:<'Ul and
Truth. Religion is life-Hie life of
God in the soul of man, the response
of man's spirit lo tile attractions of
the Divine SpirJt. Rut thc religious
lifo must find expression; il must
have a place (it for growth and hab
itation a pli.ee of meeting and com
muning with tho Author nf all life
and bein?. Hence these ear;hiv tem
ples, so prennent and so fair, aro
given to the children of men as the
lit and peculiar place for divine wor
ship; for tho supreme exercise
and experience of the human
spirit in contact, with the Di
vino Spirit; for tho vital con
nection of human love with divine
love. This it isth at gives them their
permanence and security. ' I pon this
rock," declared Christ to Peter, "I
will build my Church; and the gates
of hell shall not prevail against it."
To these earthly temples come at
stated intervals the great body of
believers, who constitute the Church
of Christ on earth, of different names
and orders, but one in faith. "For as
the body is one, and hathjinany mem
bers, and all the memlers of that
L.
one body, being many, kW one body:
so also ls Christ." Of this spiritual
edillce lt is that John, the apostle,
speaks in Revelation, when in a vis
ion he saw the church "prepared as
a bride adorned for her husband,"
and to whom ono of the seven angels
declared: "I will show theo the
bride, the Lit nib's wife." What a
beautiful figure of speech! How
sweet and fragrant its meaning! How
it touches the tenderest chords in
human life and destiny, and links
them with things spirtual and eter
nal!
For three generations or more this
church has been to this community
a center of light, life and love, ever
shedding its gentle radiance into
many Christian homes. In very
truth it can be said with becoming
modesty that the Richland commu
nity has ever been noted for Ita
Christian homes, in which dwell
solid piety and the homely virtues.
How memory recalls the familiar
forms and faces of the fathers and
mothers, the heads of the homes of
forty and fifty years ago! True and
faithful were they in their day and
generation. Hard were the lines on
which their lot was cast. It was in
deed the day of small things. The
biigiiting scourge of four years of
civil warf, re had ravaged our fair
Southland until all wealth was ex
hausted, and tho surviving veteran
returned to his home amid wreck and
ruin. Oh! how thc heroes and hero
ines of the sixties and tho seventies
rise before our oyes to-day in their
sublime grandeur, and challenge our
love, homage and admiration ! How
? the labor of I heir hands bulldod
?mew the humble home; bow their
self-denial and self-sacrifice niado
possible first their meagre support of
tho church of their choice, and then
enabled them lo open the school
house door, made possible only by
a subscription Ms) al so much per
pupil. Nothing short of an abiding
faith in tho Supreme Author of all
Good could have .sustained and
soothed them in iholr labor of love.
There remain, and are present
here with us today, three survivors
of that heroic past Dendy, Ellison
and Armstrong. Venerable men! You
stand as the connecting link between
the age of our fathers and ours.
Alike with your comrades, most of
whom have answered ibo last bugle
call, you have fought well tho bat
tles of lifo, whether of war or of
peace, and the greatest of them all
are for the peace and unity and
glory of your reunited country. This

In affectionate regard stand both
tho Richland Presbyterian church
and the Rock Springs Methodist
church. Betweon the membership of
these two organizations there has
ever existed the highest type of
Christian fellowship. They have both
made their rich contribution to the
life of this community. Yea, more!
At times tho ranks of the ono have
been Invaded by the other, and we
recall especially one muong the many
instances of the grafting of Method

the church militant luis not suffered

Tho general opinion was Unit if tho

ought to starve.
"Why, everything in the food line

here in Dillon county almost every
variety of food the human family
uses. We can make the largest po
tatoes, thc best cabbage and the finest
hogs in the State. Which reminds
me of a conversation I heard some
days ago between two Dillon county
men. They were bragging on the fer
moy of their lands.
" 'Why, man,' said one of the two,
'I made last year a watermelon so
large that it broke loose from tho
vine, rolled down a hill and killed
several of my neighbor's cows.'
" 'That was a pretty good melon,'
replied the other man, 'but lt does
not measure up to some potatoes
that I made last year. Ono of tho
potatoes grew under my neighbor's
fence and he claimed half of it. We
took the matter into the courts, and
the court decided that we must cut
that potato tn half and divide lt be
tween ourselves. Wo put men to
work with cross-cut saws, and it took
us three days to wind up the Joh. I
am not going to tell you how large
that potato was, but when we got
through with tho sawing operation
we weighed up the sawdust and it
totaled ninety tons.' "

To Preserve Ohl Stage Coach,
New York, Aug. ll.--A movement
to preserve the largest stage coach
in the country is now on foot, the
stage in question, fifty years ago, be
ing the pride of this section. The
giant coach, capable of accommodat
ing 120 persons, is decaying in
Hrooklyn. The cost of reconstruction
has been estimated at $5,000.
When trolley cars were only a
dream, Henry Hamilton, a prosper
ous livery man. was operating a
string of coaches in tho Williamsburg
section. Chowder parties then were
popular, and clubs complained that
they couldn't get a coach that was
big enough. So this vehicle was
built.
lt was drawn by twenty horses, and
so long was the equipage that when
a ferry was reached elgteon of the
horses were unhitched and wailed
for the craft to make a second trip.
Bosldos the-driver there was a man
to operate tho brakes on hills. Inside
and oat it was <\ orated with oil
paintings, In IST?; tho coach was
exhibited : i the Centennial Exposi
tion.
The climate of 'he ..toe" of Italy,
a few miles inland, resembles that of
