ami if we may judge from the favorable
mentions of the l*ress over the State,
and the steady increase of our subscrip
tion and advertising patronage, we have
not made an unfavorable impression at
home nor abroad. The only objection
that has been expressed is the size of the
paper. Wc stated when we started out
that when we felt justified by a sufficient
patronage that we would enlarge. That
time has come, and in a short time we
will give our patrons a larger sheet. 1 u
the last three months our subscription
has been doubled.
No iloubt there are some who have not
been pleased. But this is to be exfleeted,
as all past experience proves that it is
impossible to please every body. We
shall endeavor to please ourselves, and
are satisfied that by so doing we will
please the most of our intelligent read
ers. After we have enlarged, the sub
scription price will remain the same
We return thanks to our friends for
their liberal support.

Murder nt Meeting.
Abbeville {Si C.) Medium.
Hiram Weems was shot at the Taberna
cle camp-meeting on yesterday by Lewis
Grant, and there is no chance of his recov
ery The circumstances attending this
brutal deed have not yet fully come out.
but the killing is spoken of as a most cow
ardly and cold blooded murder. Hiram
was one of the guards at the.camp-ground,
and it is said that in the discharge of his
duties he insulted Grant, who vowed ven
geance, and said that he “ would kill Hiram
jf (J o d spared him.” This occurred on
last Thursday. On yesterday, Grant and
Weems, just after the benediction had been
spoken, and the camp-meeting broken up,
were joking with each other about some
missing bats which Weems jocularly accus
ed his murderer of stealing. This infuria
ted Grant, who stepped back a few paces,
drew bis pistol and tired. The ball entered
Weems's forehead just above the left eye,
pierced the brain and ranged around the
skull to the right. The murderer tied, and
at this writing is still at large. A warrant
for his arrest was issued by Trial Justice
Calhoun yesterday evening and placed in
in the hands of Constable Hughes for exe
cution. This was a tragic ending to a re
ligious meeting characterized by more than
ordinary solemnity.
•* I am n ( orpornl.”
The Armory.
The greatest of human littleness is most
strikingly illustrated in those instances
where the possession of a limited and brief
authority serves to render its victim oblivi
ous to all the proprieties of his position, and
makes him as tyrannical and overbearing to
his inferiors, as he usually is obsequeous
in the presence of those of more honorable
position.
11 is often the case that persons who in
dulge in such exhibitions of pompous
meanness, come to grief in ways which
they little anticipate. The following story
illustrates the danger of putting on airs,
especially in the presence of strangers.
During the American Revolution, it is
said that the commander of a little squad
was giving orders to those under him, rel
tive to a stick of timber which they were
endeavoring to raise up to the top of some
military works they were repairing, The
timber went up hard*and on this account,
the voice of the little great man was often
heard in regular vociferations of “‘Heave
aw p • There she goes heave ho !”
An officer not in military costume, was
passing, and asked the commander why he
take hold, and render a little aid.
he latter astonished, turning around with
all the pomp ot an emperor, said :
1 am a corporal
s fe
SZ&ssxs* "• * p
“Upon this he dismounted, and lifted
until the sweat stood in drops on his fore
head. Ami when he had finished, turning
to the commander, he said :
“MrCorporal when you have another
snch job, and have not men enough, send
for your Commander-in-chief, and I will
come ami help you a second time.”
The Corporal was thunderstruck! It
was Washington, who, though honored
above any other man upon the continent,
was not too proud to put his hand and
shoulder to the heavy timber, that he
mightbenrthcburdetioftho.se who, with*
him. in lower stations, were struggling for
the defence of the commonwealth.
This race of corporals, we are sorry to
say, is not altogether extinct. In the nrmy,
in the navy, in civil service, and in fact in
all departments of life, both secular and
sacred, are to be found, here and there,
these pompous little corporals, who strut
and fume and pride themselves upon their
petty dignities; who domineer over and
insult men who are older and wiser and
worthier in every respect than themselves,
but whom the mysterious fortunes of life
have placed beneath their petty sway. In
church, iu state in religious societies, in
Sunday Schools, in the various Associa
tions, w here impudunce had shoved itself
to the front, and crowded merit to the rear,
we find these corporals, and there is no
thing which conduces more to the health
of their souls than a little “ taking down ”
after the fashion of which this incident is
an example. Onr young friends who de
sire the good will of their fellows, will do
well to remember that, before honor is hu
mility. and that it is pleasanter to keep
down than to be knocked down.
Our Savior lias taught us how, by taking
the lowest seat, we may receive from the
master a call to come up higher; but if
honors come to us let ns never forget that
he that would be greatest should be servant
ofall, like our Lord nnd Master who wash
ed His own desciples’ feet.
Thomas Rrucc.

home, Eureka, on Monday afternoon, aged
