OLD MIDWAY CHURCH.
With Its Memories of the Long: Agro-
The History of the Oldest Church
in the State.
Atlanta Evening Journal.
On the public road, built by General
Oglethorpe, leading from Darien to Sa
vannah, and midway between the two
cities, stands a church that was found
ed-iu 1752, the present building having
weathered the winter storms and sum
mer suns for ninety-six years.
This is the “Old Midway Church” of
them to the shore, was overcome with
weariness and drowned in seven feet of
water.
The successor of Mr. Allen was Rev.
Dr. Ahiel Holmes, a gentleman of great
learning and a graduate of Yale college,
who, after preaching in the Midway
church from 1785 to 1791, on account of
ill health returned to the North. He
was pastor of a Congregational church
at Cambridge for 35 years.
Rev. Cyrus Gildersleeve succeeded
Mr. Holmes. He was pastor of the
church for twenty years, from 1791 to
1811. Mr. Gildersleeve was a most
faithful and efficient minister of the
gospel.
He was succeeded by Rev. Murdoch
Murphy, who remained in Liberty

historic spot within the borders of the I tie\en ^
newspaper world are not different from
those which pertain to other lines of
business. A newspaper is simply a
business enterprise, and must adapt it
self to the field in which the enterprise
is launched. If Park & Tilford should
set up one of their palatial grocery
stores in a little rural village, the inev
itable failure of the enterprise from
lack of sufficient support would be pa
tent to every observer. The attempt to
maintain a newspaper carrying the As
sociated Press dispatches in a city of
5,000 inhabitants is precisely as absurd,
and for the same reasons. The truth
is, there is not a city in Florida - or
Georgia that, by itself, would support
a newspaper carrying the Associated
Press dispatches,
FINE
State. Not only does the church hear
record upon the brigliest pages of Geor
gia’s history, but in Ihe churchyard by
its side sleep noble men to whom thou
sands of Georgians to-day point with
pride.
“Far from the haunts of men
church stands by the roadside isolated
and alone. Huge live oaks, with boughs
festooned and draped with moss, soad-
ow church ami graveyard with a gloom
that conjures-up the memories of the
past. To-day the churchyard is neg
lected and the graves untended..
The ivy covers church and church
yard wall, the rustling of dead leaves
falling around the crumbling walls
whisper weird tales, the very memory
of which lias passed away from earth.
Here, many years ago, worshipped a
people of wealth and refinement, the
very pride of proud old Liberty coun
ty. Commencing on the first of No
vember and lasting until May services
were held regularly every Sunday, and
once during the month of August the
people met to commemorate the Loufl’s
supper. From miles around came the
wealthy planters with their families, of
ten spending the whole day beneath
the shade trees around the church
and near a cool spring, whose pure,
sparkling waters leaped in cascades
over the rocks and pebbles. “Arbors”
and cabins were built near by in which
the people took refuge during cold and
inclement weather.
The changes-of the passing years
have caused the old church to he de
serted by till save a few plantation ne
groes, who now ami then assemble there
to worship:
A large proportion of support comes
harna to enjoy the society of his broth-| from subscribers and advertisers oh
Thou art crumbling to tlie dust, old pile,
Thou iii*t hastening to thy fall,
And around thee, in thy loneliness,
Clings the ivy to the wall—
The worshippers are scattered now,
Who met, before thy shrine.
And silence reigns where anthems rose
In days of “auld lang syne.”
Ami iv.drlv sighs the wandering wind,
Where oft, In years gone by,
Praver rose from many hearts to Him,
The -‘Highest of the High.”
The t ramp of many a busy loot,,
Which sought thy aisles, is o’er,
Anti many a weary heart around
Is stilted forevermore.
The right holders and friends of the
“Old Midway Church” having an inter
est in t he church, the cemetery and
the immediate surrounding grounds,
will have a re-union meeting on the 14th
inst., for the purpose of perpetuating
the history of the ancient church and
continuing their interest in the premi
ses.
Dr. John Jones, of Atlanta, has been
invited to deliver an address upon that
occasion, and he will give a full history
of tire church since its foundation, and
touching incidents in the lives ot those
of the late war—the date of its death.
Tiie settlement made in Liberty
county by the founders of “Old Mid
way,” began on the sixth of December,
1702. They moved by families from
Dorchester, S. C., bringing with them
their minister, the Rev. John Osgood.
These removals continued until 1771.
The settlers cultivated chiefly for many
years rice as their principal commodity
for market, and also for food. The
clearing of the swamps and the reduc
ing of them to fields, and the use of wa
ter by “reserves” produced malaria,
and the country was rendered extreme
ly sickly. For numbers of years the
old church records show that tlie death
rate Exceeded that of the births; and
continued until the people formed sum
tner retreats, living in the winter on
their plantations and the summer
spent on the seaboard or in the pine
barrens.
This people were remarkable from
their first settlement for their high re
ligious character, regard for education
and love of liberty; and their whole
er, the Governor of tlie State.
Rev. Robert Quarternmn was the
next minister, a native of Liberty and
a son of “Old Midway.” He was a man
of rare piety, excellence, common sense
t ] K , 1 and benevolence, and wasa power in the
community for good. He was the pas
tor from 1S23 until April, 1847. His
health beginning to fail some years be
fore the close of his pastorate, in 1S3G
the church called as his assistant and
co-pastor the Rev. Dr. Axson, who has
been tlie pastor of the Independent
church in Savannah for more than
twenty-five years. Dr. Axson was pas
tor of the Midway church for seventeen
years—until 1803.
The church was supplied with differ
ent ministers for a few years, when the
Rev. Mr. Buttolph was called, and he
remained the pastor till the close of the
late war. Dr. Buttolph was afterward
pastor of the Marietta Presbyterian
church for twenty years, having lately
resigned on account of ill health.
Few churches have been so highly
favored with a series of such good and
able ministers. It is a sad fact that this
old mother church, although living in
three daughters—the Flemington, Wal-
thourville and Dorchester Presbyterian
churches—lias herself, as an organiza
tion, passed into history.*
Her demise was occasioned by the
late war. Her membership and sup
port were derived from the planters
who cultivated the lands in her imme
diate neighborhood. These lands were
located in the rich low grounds of the
county, which were too unhealthy for
occupancy by the whites in the summer
and autumnal seasons. The planters
and their families resided on their
farms in the winter and removed to
healthier homes in the summer months.
The plantations were cultivated under
the direction of the owners, through
their colored overseers superintending
the laborers; the masters visiting the
plantations every week. After the lib
eration of the slaves this system expired,
as the freedmen would no longer submit
to colored overseers, and the whites, not
being able to occupy the lands during
summer, have been compelled in a
great measure to abandon their rich
lands and seek other homes. Thus the
old mother church has ceased to exist
from a necessity that has no remedy.
In the churchyard lies buried some
of Georgia’s most illustrious dead,
among whom may be mentioned eight
ministers of the gospel: Rev. John Os
good, Rev. Robt. Quarterman, Rev.
Charles Jones, D. D., once president of
Columbia, S. C., Theological Seminary;
Rev. James Coshy, Rev. Sumner Wynn,
Rev. Samuel J. Cassels, who has many
descendants in Atlanta; Rev. A. O.
Bacon, father of lion. A. O. Bacon, of
Macon; Rev.* Peter Wynn and Rev.
Henry Stevens.
A number of prominent physicians
are also buried here: Dr. James Dun-
woody, Dr. Axson, Dr. William P. Mc
Connell, Dr. Samuel Way, Dr. Gilder
sleeve and Dr. Andrew Walthour.
Here sleeps Dr. Nathan Bronson, who
was Governor of Georgia in 1781, and
nothing now marks his resting place ;
Hon. John Elliott, who was once a
United States Senator; Hon. John B.
Giradeaux, who died while a member
of the State Legislature, sixty years
ago; the venerable James Smith, who
has descendants throughout the State:
Joseph Law and Thomas Mallard,
venerable deacons in the old church,
and multitudes of others, who have
descendants in Georgia—too numerous
to enumerate, though two more names
may he mentioned—the distinguished
General James Screven, who fell in the
revolutionary war, and his sister by
: tained entirely outside of the State. A
! still larger proportion comes from
points within the State and all over the
State outside the city of publication.
The same conditions apply to attempts
to maintain two newspapers in a small
field. It lias been proven over and over
again by experience in Savannah, in
Atlanta, in Charleston, in Augusta, in
Mobile, in Nashville, and in other cit
ies, that two morning daily newspapers
of high rank cannot be sustained by any
city of less than 100,000 inhabitants,
and even a city of that population must
be an active business center. Augusta,
Ga., has just seen $40,000 sunk in an at
tempt to establish a newspaper in the
field of the Chronicle. In Chattanooga
a competitor of the Times has just suc
cumbed, after two years’ struggle, in
which about $45,000 were sunk. In
Nashville $80,000 were sunk within a
year and a half in the attempt to estab
lish the Union in the field of the Amer
ican, and then the enterprise had to he
abandoned. Yet Nashville is a city of
90,000 inhabitants. In New Orleans, a
city of 250,000 inhabitants, at least $250,-
000 has been sunk within the past ten
years in an attempt to establish a third
morning paper in a field which is only
large enough for two. These conditions
are inexorable, and throughout the
country the same results follow
same experiments.
Forty years ago the notion that all
that was required to establish a news
paper was a bottle of ink, a pine table,
a bushel or two of type, and some blank
paper, was approximately correct : hut
within a generation the character of a
newspaper and the conditions of its
success have not only been changed,
but they have been transformed. The
expenses of a modern newspaper, with
its immense telegraphic service, its elab
orate machinery, and its large staff,
are something that is hardly conceived
of by the outside public.
Another thing which is hardly con
ceived of is the hold which a really pop
ular newspaper has upon its readers.
This is something which it is practical
ly impossible to break. The newspaper
itself can alienate its readers and lose
its hold upon them, but nothing that a
rival can do can loosen its grip. At first
popular sympathy is apt to stray off
temporarily with the new opposition
paper, but old habit and custom soon
reasserts itself, and with anything like
equal merit the old journal is practical
ly impregnable.
Scores of instances could he cited,
proving all this, hut most well-informed
readers can recall them for themselves.
In the Constitution's advocacy of free
whisky and a high tariff on the necessa
ries of life, that paper will be comi>elled
to support a policy not only in direct
antagonism to the views of the Demo
cratic standard-bearer, President Cleve
land, but will also have to wage a war
on Senator A. H. Colquitt, who is equal
ly as popular with the people of his
State, and is just as dear to them, as
was General Gordon.—Athens Banner-j

BARTOW SIMS,
Some time ago an engineer on the
Little Miama Railroad was in Ohio
suspended because, after having been
examined by Dr. Clark,, he was found
to be quite deaf. The engineer claimed
at tlie time that he could hear every
thing while running his engine, but
the doctor found that in a still room he
could not hear ordinary conversation a
foot away. The engineer lives at Cincin
nati, and received treatment in that
city for his disease, but without any
special benefit. After being suspended
eight months, tlie engineer again came
to Dr. Clark and insisted that he could
hear perfectly while in a moving en
gine. The doctor thought lie would
test the case, and accompanying the
man to Cincinnati, made a number of
experiments with him on engines. Tlie
result was that the doctor found the
engineer was not only telling the truth
in regard to the matter, but that the
deaf man could hear low remarks
whispers in a moving engine that oven
Dr. Clark’s keen ear failed to catch.
