FINAL ACTION IN HIS CASE., For the benefit of such of our readers as have not kept informed mreference to the trouble between Dr. James Woodtow and the Pres byterian chinch, we give a brief syu opsis of the origin and history of the case. We do this because it will beeome historical, and is by far the most important question that has come before the church in this coun tiy within a century. Dr. Woodrow occupied a chair cf science m Co¬ lumbia College, a Presbyterian insti¬ tution located at Columbia, S* C. He (Woodrow) is probably the most scholarly minister of the Pres¬ byterian church in America, ancl was authoritatively requested to deliver a lc cture in Columbia College, giving his views on the hypothesis of evo lutiou. aid its bearings upon the scriptures. In compliance, he deliv¬ ered a masterly lecture fayoripg the probable li nth of the theory, and showing that it was not in conflict with the scriptures. Our receolioo tion is, that tno lecture met with the approval of the authorities having immediate control of the College, but dissatisfaction sprpg up in oth quarters. The subject was brought up iu several synods, or as¬ semblages of the Presbyterian church and decided adversely t« Dr. Wood row, by whom the case was carried by appeal to the Presbyterian as¬ sembly at Baltimore, wnicli met in May last. In the resolutions passed by the Assembly, the following lan¬ guage occurs i “It is the judgement of the general assembly that Adam’s body was di¬ rectly fashioned by Almighty God out ol the dust of the ground with¬ out any natural animal parentage of any kind. The wisdom of God prompted him to reveal the fact, while the inscrutable mode of His action he has not revealed. While, therefore, touc]i the church does not pro¬ pose to or conclude any ques lion of science which belongs she to God’s kingdom oi mature, must see that these questions arc not thrust upon her to break the si.ence of the scriptures and supplement them by any scientific God’s hypoihsis con cerning the mode of oemg or acts, which are inscrutable to us. While the assembly disdains the intention of concluding questions of science, it does in fact attempt-to settle and conclude the greatest scientific question of the day. What else does this language mean? “It is the judgement of this general as se mbly, that Adam’s body was direct-. ly fashioned by Almighty God out of tne dust of the ground without any natural animal parentage of any sin<3.” If the judgement ol tbe general assembly is correct, the the¬ ory of eyolution is false, and by the judgement they* indirectly declare ii false. The assembly could have gone no further. The church cannot eettle questions of science and should not meddle with them. !t shou a remembez that its rulings on scienu fic questions have always been wrong. Once upon a time the church unfctook to settle tbe q»es, tion of the science ot astronomy. It had gi eater power then than now. and compelled the old gray haired astronomer, Galileo, to get down on his knees and swear that ings were false. They were nevei theless true, and are accepted as truth to day, by all enlightened peos ple in every quarter of the globe. Galileo’s name is famUiar as bouse hold words in every civilized laud, and will not perish,wile a single rep resentative of Adams race lives upon the earth. Than Galileo, no man ^ m ISSUED EVERY WEEK CARNESVILLE, TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1888 from the memory of man; the re¬ membrance of their injustice and cruelty, alone remains. So it will be with Dr. Woodrow ami his corse' cutors. Evolution will triumph, it will bo universally accepted, it is ac¬ cepted now by almost every great scholar in the world. There is no minister now Hying on this side of the Atlantic, whose immortal fame is so ivell assured, as that ol James Woodrow. In the distant future he will be remembered as a martyr to truth and honesty of conviction, and when his peisc-cutors have sunk into nothingness, men with great sympa¬ thetic heails, will try to do him jus¬ tice, and at'Uic for the wrong, by building a monument ho his mcmoiy.

We had the pleasure yesterday evening of meeting Mv. W Hiving, who lived iu Athens twentysix yeais ago, and is known to a great many of our older e'tizens. Mr. King gave us a history of his b'fe, which reads like a romance. He lived ;, v Athens in 1861, and from here he went to Carnesville, 4, i Franklin county. Find tig this a pV'sant little village, lie rema ned some time there. Mr. King had acquired a taste for the stage, and after leaving Carnesville he wen back to England, and brought out a splendid English stock company. He landed in New York, and by that time the war had bioken out, a id Mr. King slatted to bring his company to the South. He came to oifolk, and on account of his be¬ ing a Southern sympathizer, was refused permission to go through ;be lines. He then went back to Baltimore, and was intimate With John T Ford, who is know a for owning the Theater where Presi dent Lincoln was killed. A espoinage was kept on Mr. King’s movements by detectives, and find¬ ing that he was bound to be arrests d le concluded to make his way to Richmond, but before he cou’-d cross the Fatomac he was arrested and put under bond*. Mr. King went back to Baltimore, where he again appeared before the foot lights with some of the best companies then playing. Mr. King carried the first theatrical company over the Union Pacific mUoad and played to a good business iu all the wild towns of the Ppcific. ‘TIow came yon to git back to Athens?” tho reporter inquired. It is certainly one of the things hat providence ha» something to with. 1 was up in Pennsylvania and a desire came over me to come back to Athens and sec the old dace once more. I knew that there would not be many now that knew W II King when he ran a store un*> the Commercial Hotel So I ai m Athens several weeks ago ? 3 lit found several who I knew in helium days. I had not written my people in England for a num of years, and thought that my who is very old, was dead. here comes the proyidential jart of my story. My mother wrote the post-master at Baltimore raak ing inquiries about me, and stated in ler/ettei that I had once lived in Athens, Ga. The post master know¬ ing that a sister of Mrs. C. D. Flan* igin, who was then living in Balti¬ more, had come from Athens, ac cordingly communicated wilh her. Mis.Flanigan’ssisterbecameinter- John L. csted, and wrote to Major Thomas, asking u such a man ever ]; ve q ] ier0 Major Thomas could not . call l0 mm q and wenf to Mr. A; j MandetiUe and informed hna of Ike nottce bo baa t «ei*ed askieg after mc> x had met Mr. Mandeville as soonas J arrived iu Athens. inf()T , med Ma j or Thomas that I was here. I would never have heard of the inquiry made hymy mothei if L had not come to the old place agaitf. My grandfather left a large number 0 f lots in tbe town of Stockton-on Tecs, which have become very val ^ Those lots could not be sold unless it were proved that I was dead; and oI< j cr brothers were getting nnxiors t0 bnve their share oi the estate.

Register: A vast deal of work lus been done in lira section within the past two weeks Our farmers have boon pushing things with energetic energy. The wheat c op has been harycsD ed in diissection. It was veiy shoil, most the fa. tiers say a half crop is a fair estimate. The tllooping spirits of tho fleecy staple has been revived by the amorous kisses of the sun, and the fragility which so long held it down has been replaced wltn a verdant growtdg color.
