THE OLD LAWIIKNOKYILLE
CAMP GROUND.
s
SOME THINGS OF I t'S EARLY HISTORY.
CHAP. VI.
Editoh Herald -The third
greet preacher of whom I would
write, waa the noted James I'aniet
ly, the wooden-legged preacher of
South Carolina, so famous in his
state 40 or 50 years ago.
I fsel the difficulty of tbo task,
for he was a non d< script, and
would require a more graphic pen
than mine to describe. So odd. so
utique, so full of idiocineracies,
that for me it will be a most diffi
mil undertaking. Yet he was one
of the “great preachers” that
came to the camp ground in the
early /itnes, of whom I propose to
write. He was a celebrity in his
own State add Gorgia too, and I
had heard much of him—of his
canstie'rebukes from the pulp’t—
his quaint sayings, his pecul ar
manner of speech and his wonder
ful fluency in the pulpit.
After all this, it was only neces
sary to see him to he convinced
that I had a faint conception of
the ■ i dity.
Iu the summer of 1843, while
on a visit to Oxford, where he had
a son in college, he was induced
by Key Dr Mitcell, then of Oxford,
anil who had been on this circuit
a fen years before, to accompany
him anil his wife to the camp meet
mg, and he came.
I was quartered there as one of
the tent holders, anil on their ar
rival, they came to my tent.
Being introduced, my attempt
ed politeness was met by a biiift’
shake of the hand, and no re
turn for my “glad to meet you
sir.’’
His singular bearing, and want
of the usual courtesies at an ins
iroduetion, caused me to scruti
nize Lim w ; th much curiosity, and
some astonishment.
He was old heavy, with a mark
ed face nol of kindness, but its
conn ary, and not a single feat tire
to convince me that in him was
any of the milk of human kind
ness, and there, toe, was that vor
-1 able “wooden leg.’ that had bos
ccuib historic.
Hie seemed much laiigued by
his journey; had no talk, only
“yes,” and “no” when addressed,
in a quaking voice that would re
pell yon. T'i my mind he was a
prodigy, a non duscript, that nev
«r had, and never will have a par
elleh
I wish I could describe. It
would be a picture teat eveu Da
guerre coula never itumiia e.
Soon Peyton P. Smith, the
presiding elder, came in, [und the
same want of cordiality on his
part, and that same qneuk of his
voice only answered him general
ly, in moLoaylables.
“I hope you will preach for us,
brother Danielly/’ said the presis
diug elder. “I will preach a little
for aisier Mitchell,’’ squeaked out
Mt, Danielly.
He was soon carried by Mr.
Smith to the preachers tent, mid
drawing a long breath of relie, |
said to Du. M. “Oh, sir, can he
preach ?’’ “You will find that he
can. when yon hem- him." “But
he baH no voice,” said I. “His
will improve when he geis iu the
pulpit,’’ said the Dr.
A*, the next, 11 o'clock service,
he hobbled into /ne stand, where
a la' ge crowd awaited his coming
with euger curiosity.
His text was from Zacbariah ;
“Who art th>.u. oh great moun
tain ’ before Ztrrubabk thou shall
become a plain ; and he shall bring
foitb the head stone with shouP
>
ings, crying grace, grace unto it.’
His voice at the beginning was
weak and his manner tame, but
soon it began to well up- and high
er and nighgr, until ii became ab
the blast of x trumpet, reverberat
ing through the entire encamp
meet, and far away over the tree
top oi the surrounding forests, to
be heard a mile away !
His text was a grand subject
and most grandly hrnd'ed, and
i ttie same sermon most probably
had been preuchod oy hjm at camp
meetings from the Tuge.o to Ihe
Peedee, in the Jays of his miniates
rial prime and was a lesson well
learned. 1 1 abounded ’’n beaati-

•What n wonderful freak of nature

This was a “Rowland for his 01

The 4th and last of the great
pi each era’’ of whom 1 propose lo
write in these chapters, was Jack
son P. Turner.
Mr'.Turner was born and bro’t
np in this county, on the head wa
ters of Beaver Ruin, near where
tlie town of Norcross no stands,
He was nrmed “Sampson, by
his pa'cuts, bit* for some reason,
when he became a preseter he
changed it to Jackson P.
//is education at the start was
limited and imperfect, having had
btu poor opporiunities of school
ing. He al o had poor opportuni
ties of religious training, his fa 111

isr, and some, perhaps ally Bis
brothers on the same line. Bat
he had a pious mother, the second
wife of his father, and from her his
susceptible mind was embueil with
the precepts of religion.
While yet in his teens he became
converted and joined the ctiurch.
and oefoie rerching his majority,
was impressed thut it was his du
ty to preach. Realizing his want
of suitable education, to qualify
him for this high calling, he bent
his untiring energies to the im
peovement of his education, and
with much success, //aviug supe
rior natural endowments, as al*
his family had, he succeeded rapid
ly and in a few years became a
preacher of high scholarly at ain
meets.
In a few years, while yet young,
he became a mau of mark and an
acknowledged genius, attaining to
high distinction in the conference,
and soon wax promoted to the of
fice of presiding elder, and appoint
eil to the dig!riot in which was cm
braced his native county and the
home of his childhood.
At the fust camp meeting after
his promotion, he filled the pulpit
at 11 o’clock on Sunday During
bis absence for a few years iu oth
er fields, he had grown from the
awkward s ripling, to the full
grows man of full proportions,
and a personal that wonld have im
pressed oven a stranger, as a man
of force and power, intellectually
as well as physically-
His text on tl at occasion was,
“Add I saw saw a new Heaven
and a new i-aoth, and the old He av
ens had passed away nnd there
was no more .- ee."
His sermon was of the aesurrec
t on, and it was grand in itsimag
inury and sublime in ns path s.
This is but a feeble iribute to
my friend and fellow county man,
and I was proud of him us such.
He died early, and the world
was poorer when he di -d. His
early demise was one of those
s-range and mysterious providen
ces we somedmes see and can’t •jn--

years he would have attained to

HE SAW THE EDITOR.
Among the tenants at No. 34
city hall place vs John I. Ford, a
muscular brass polisher, about
twenty-eight years old. He is aoy
quainted with most of the politi
cians in the lowest wards uml has
learned sol e of their bad ways.
Ford has a profound contempt
for the press when the press does
not udAocale the schemes or cans
didu es in which he or his friends
may be intert sted. In reading
the Sun yesterday his eyes alight
ed on something which displeased
him and he swo.ie revenge on the
editor. .
After taking on board n goodly
load of fourth ward whisky he
started fur the Sun office. He
climed up to the city room and
told the boy who guards the gate
that he wanted to see ihe editor.
“What’s your business'?" asked
(In boy polio ly.
“I want to lick him, for some
thing he has in the paper about
me to day.” he replied, boisterous
ly-
City editor Jehu Bogart and
liis assistant, Mr. Carvalno, threw
down their papers and look un
concernedly at the infurated visit
or. The reporters stopped writ
ing and sat bolt upright. Ford
blurted out that he could “lick”
any man in ttoe office.
In less than a minute after the
declaration he appealed upon the
sidewalk holding three .eetli in
his left hand while his right hand
was closely pressed to his right
jaw He thought a cyclone had
struck him. He ran across the
yelling that there was a regiment
ot murderers in pursuit. He halt
ed in the park and looked eround.
Then be began raving about the
shabby neat men t he had received.
In the meantime reporter Rock
well appeard on the steps of the
Sun building ha* less and ceatless
wiih his stiint sleeves rolled up.
“What’s up,” was asked.
“A man came into the office to
knock oar edi'or out of time, and
he fell down two flights of stairs
au.l I wa it to know if he is hurt,”
replied Mr. Rockwell as is bounc
ing a disagieutble visitor was an
every day occurrence.
THE NEW BOY WAS FIRM
Four boys seated on a line fence
dividiup two houses from John R.
street attracted the attention of a
pedistrian pcsteriiav, and he halt
ed aim asked what they were look
ing at
“iVew family moving in here to
day,’ - replied one
‘ Well, what <>f it ?”
“They’ve got a boy about an big
as us.’’
“Well, what of that 1 ?”
.‘Nothing, only we was trying
him.
At that moment the new boy
appeared ou the grass about twen
ty feet away. One of the beys on
the fence made up a face at him.
He promptly responded. Tiled
another boy threw a stone at him-
He hurled it back.
“Say, I’ll iick you !” called the
biggesDboy.
“You can’t do it!”
The four boys made as if they
would jump over the fence, but
the new boy stood firm.
“a’li dare you up here !’’
“I’ll dare you down hese !”
“He's all right—he’s game,’
said the boy to tbe pedis trian
“If he was a coward we was g oing
to lick him, but now we’ll go o ver
and let him have a whiff of our
cigar stub.”
HE KNEW.
The rector was paying a visit to
the Sunday school, pausing fhete
to make a suggestion, here to ask
ti question.
“Kddb, do you know your cate
chism well ?” he asked of a little
fellow in the infant class.
“Gums so.’’
“Well let’s see. Who made you?’
“G od.”
“Very good. Now, who was
the lirst man 1 ’
“Don’t know,’’ and then, after a
pause, with a look of innocent self
atisfaction, “but mamma says you
are the handsomest man in town.”
—Harper's Bazar.
A LIBERAL FROSF-CUTOR.
In Poinsett county, a prosecut
ing attorney, after vainly endeav
oring to convict a man upon an
indictment found by the grand
jury, atose in court and arid:
“Your honor, I sco that it is
useless to bring a man io trial in
this county, and I now propose t (1
nolle pros, all the remaining
cases.”
The judge raised no objections
and the cases were “wiped out.”
Just as the prosecuting attorney
reached the foot of the stairs, be
was niei by tuo foreman of the
grand jury who said that ne had
just found an indictment against
a man for stealing a cow.
“1/ makes no difference,” re
plied the attorney. “1 m going
home—have fooled with you sols
lows as long a- 1 am going to.
Makes no difference to me how
many ir.dioimeets you find.”
“Well, but the witnesses are all
here, and out yondey stands the
man who lost the cow.”
“Come here a minute," said the
attorney culling him. “What was
you blamed cow worth ?”
“Twelve dollars ahd a half.”
“Well, here's your money, I’d
rather pay the damages than to
money with die case.”
TOUGH.
When it comes to /ougiinexs.
Texas beuf is entitled to the blue
ribbon. The average Texas land
lord usually manages to secure
the toughest beef in the the mar
ket.
“Is there a carpot beating es
tablishuieut next door ?” asked a
newly arrived guest at an Austin
hotel.
“Not that I ever heard of.’’
“Well, thon you must have a
blucksrnitlTs shop in the cellar.
Doyot. shoe horses in the cel
lar ?”
“Why, no stranger, what, makes
you think so”’
“What’s all that pounding as if
