Its Soil. People and Productions,
(C mtinued from last week.)
THE PEOPLE.
However fertile the soil of the
county may be, ami however rich in
: mineral and other resources, before
removing to such country, a prudent
emigrant will regard, as of no se<H
ondary consideration, the
of the people among whom he is in
vited to dwell. He will inquire con
, cerning their character, customs,
institutions and industries.
The large majority of the citizens
of Chattooga county are whites,
born and reared in the Southern
states, principally from Georgia,
Tennessee, North and South Coro
lina, originally descended from the
, English and Scotch-Irish. They
have all the sturdy independence
peculiar to the Scotch and the love
of order so characteristic of the
English. There are no people more
. independent in their ways and man
: ners. They have their own convic-
■ tions and the courage to maintain
! them. A steady, undeviating devo-
■ tion to principle is a part of the
-history of this people. The county
1 is devoid of leaders in Church and
State, and the influence of any
t would-be leader depends, not on
• any factitious circumstance, but on
merit.
There are no sweeping resolutions
in political or religious opinion.
Endowed with good sense, prudent
in judgment, hospitable tostrangers,
social among themselves, kind to
' the poor, tolerant of the opinions of
others, obedient to law, S’ith pro
found reverence for holy things,
they present a fair type of their
’ honored ancestry.
Industrious, frugal, looking well
to the ways of their own households,
‘ they are not indifferent to the
pleasures of life, nor deaf to' the
, calls of charity.
No people anywhere are more de
voted to the reign of law, or more
patient under troubles, and they to-
■ day present a spectacle of submis
sion to legal authority rare in these
modern days of lawlessness. The
stranger, who settles here and con
ducts himself orderly, will find kind
and sympathizing neighbors.
These statements are evidenced
by the fact that saving one excep
tional crime, committed by a stran
, ger, the first of the kind in forty
years, the criminal docket is almo-t
Mank, while the cases returned
civil docket, diminish in num
ber.
c The people are a moral, church
c going, religious people. The Bap
tists have 15 churches with average
' congregations of over 3,000. The
t Methodists have 13 churches with
average congregations of 2,700.
The Presbyterians have 7 churches
( . with congregations of about 1,500.
Tiie Christians have 3. churches,
congregations near 600, so that a
large number are connected with
1 some church and a very large per
! cent, of the people are regular at
tendants on church. The majority
1 of these churches have Ladies’
, Missionary Societies and Sabbath
schools connected with them, the
aggregate attendance on these I
schools being over T.200 pupils, who
1 are furnished w'ith suitable Sabbath
~ school literature.
Some of these schools are denoi w
' inational in name, while others nr
.. Union schools. A few of them st s-1
pend a short while in winter,. while
' I others continue during the entiln j
t
The colored people are as thrifty
s here ns any where, and are gradual
ly rising in morals and intalligenee,
and are acquiring homes for thenji
, selves. They own about 2,500 aergs
of land and estimate their property
; j at $20,000, They have 9 churches,
idividid between Baptist and Meth
odist, with a membership of 1,000
1 and large congregations, orderly
and respectful.
: Various charitable institutions,
as Masonic Lodges, Knights of Hon- '
or, and others, are established in ‘
1 the county. The learned professions 1
ar< f well represented, the lawyers \
being confined to the county site, 1
while the doctors are very equally I
distributed over the county.
The interest of the people in ed- j 1
J ucation is shown by the fact thatjj
j there are 53 public schools foH
| whites, with an enrolment of 2, 12(Bp
I pupils, and 8 schools for the
with an enrolment of 410 pupils, j 1
making a total enrolment of 2,560 , i
i The majority of these, schools it 1
i is true, are taught only 3 month- in
. j the year, generally after farm work <
, : has ceased. There are 4 schools; (
comfortable build- ’
| terms from 8 to !<> !
in which higher cducat: '
tST'iirnished, with curriculum as <
complete as any High schools in <
the state. All the principal n gh- I
borhoi ds have schools with terms of I
6 months. No person need send bis '
; son or daughter out of the county j '■
to educate them, unless in those i 1
sciences which are illustrated by 1
experiments with apparatus. The 1
great embarrassment under which '
education labors is the present I’ub-1
lie School system, which multiplies] |
the number of free schools beyond):
, the necessities of the people and li- \ i
. cences many persons to teach total- ■
.] ly unqualified for such vocation.
. ) But tiiis is an evil not peculiar to
.; this county alone.
, | The people support two newspa
. I pers, The Chattooga News and the
J Summerville Gazette,: whose com-1
! bined circulation amounts to over
1,500 copies and reaches 7,000 read- i
ers, while there are ewer 1,000 copies i
of other papers, magazines and re-)
! views circulated over the county. |
To accomodate the people there are
. 19 ppstoffices, with two daily mail
lines, 3 tri-weekly and 4 bi-weekly
lines.
, The government of the county is
1 similai to other counties of the
f State, >eing diverse in only two res-
- pects. There is a County Court
, with quarterly and monthly terms,
r Its civil jurisdiction extends to
causes involving amounts not less
1 than fifty, nor more than three hun
, dred dollars. Its criminal jurisdic
■ | tion er tends to all crimes less than
;. felony.
The county has a local road law.
- The roads are under the direction
5 of a Supervisor, who has the roads
- worked by contract.
Road hands arc required to work
? 4 days during the year on the pub
\ lie roads, or pay in lieu therof, a
’ comiui lation tax of fifty cents per
( day. They are also required to as
sist in cutting new roads, or in
1 changing old ones, or pay a like)
- commutation. Hands may elect to !
- work or pay. In addition, an ad-
• | valorum tax not exceeding 25 per |
t cent, on the State tax, is levied for
I ■ road purposes. The road sv>tem
i is good and when fully understood
aid properly enforced will secure
first class roads throughout the
county.
The tax for county purposes va
ries from year to year. This is ac
counted for by the fact that the
county owns four river bridges
across Chattooga river, and three
over large creeks, as well as the fact
that the expense of holding court
varies. Ordinarily the county tax
would not exceed the state tax.
Paupers are maintained directly
from the county treasury and not
by means of a Poor House, though
the latter plan would probable
prove more economical and better
accomplish the purpose designed.
There is one distillery in the
county deriving its patronage main
ly from abroad, having a capacity
lof 20 gallons per day. For years
the sale of spirits has been under
the direct control of the legal voters
;of the county. It has been voted
lon by general election throughout
] the county, and by special election
in several of the districts, public
| opinion being divided as to the
most prudent disposition tobemade
of this question.
At present the sale of spirits, |
with the exception above noted, is |
entirely under municipal supervi- i
sion, though this may be changed i
at the next election. (
The amusements of the people |
are chiefly hunting, fishing,modern t
social games and entertainments, t
though the old fashined Logrollings, ,
Quiltings all day singings still lin- •
ger, and keep in remembrance the i
happier day of long ago. <
li is not to be presumed that s
there are no drawbacks to the pros- i
perity of this people. Mention has '
been made of the want of commer- >
cial facilities and educational difli- J
culties. Poverty followed tiie var. i
.W.’i'es for diverted at- <
Bention trim grain growing to mak- <
ing that the principal crop. The r
result has been the same here as s
elscwheie. Too much money has [
been spent on commercial fertilizers, i s
Too little time for keeping fences
in proper repair and improvement <
of land. Too little attention given c
to raising bread and stock. Too f
much money spent abroad for flour
and meat. Too much home in
debtedness. But a halt is being
called all along the line. There
has been a very general effort made
this year to remedy the evil, and a
few crop years such as this, with
like effort, will crown with success
this laudable endeavor to owe no
man anything, and to provide com
fortable homes with all the conven
iences of life.
It must be true that a people
possessing all the advantages of
soil, climate and institutions that
this people do, will fulfill the high
destiny which beckons them onward
from afar; and to share in the frjii
ition of these hopes, a cordial
tationis extended to those
whom nature, more wayward, has
less kindly smiled.

Among the remarks addressed by the fam

the release of prisoners, The Sun recall#
! these:

you bravo. I shall have to send you up for

with rats, big muskrats. Give him bread
and water for six years. How old will he be

(Aside) —Let him go in an hour.
To an intoxicated woman—You say you are

months.
i To a fighter—You are a ranger. You

you come here again I will give you ten

CHRISTI AN UNITY.
•‘Oh, that the day would come
when, in a larger communion than
any sect can offer, all those who
are one in Christ may be able to
blend in manifest unity ! This can
only come by the way of growing
spiritual life, clearer light upon the
one eternal truth, and a closer cleav
ing in all things to Him who is the
Head, even Christ Jesus.”
Charles IL Spurgeon spoke these
words. Mr. S. is the world- renown
ed Baptist minister of the nine
teenth, as John Bunyan was of the
seventeenth century. Like Bunyan
Spurgeon’s piety, his loyalty to God
and his faithfulness to men, admits
of no doubt. His sincerity is as
unquestionable as his ability. A
good and true man, as well as an
“able minister of the new testament”
his uttcrence deserves attention,
consideration, and reconsideration.
His language quoted above is
worthy of every one’s careful study,
not only because Spurgeon uttered
it, but because of the circumstances
under which it was uttered. It was
when using such language as fol
lows: During the past month many
have put to us the anxious ques
tion “What shall we do?” To these
we have had no answer to give ex
cept that each one must act for
himself after seeking direction of
the Lord. In our own case we in
timated our course of action in last
month’s paper. We retire at once
and distinctly from the Baptist Un
ion. The Baptist churches are
each one of them self-contained
and independent. Baptist
i"ii is '■ ;. ? /
M' -i/ ' 4 ‘ •
to withdraw Un
ion as at present constity'til, has no
disciplinary power, for it has no
doctrinal basis whatever, and we see
no reason why every form of belief
and misbelief should not be com
prehended in it so long as immer
sion is acknowledged as baptism.
Again Spurgeon’s, “Oh that the
day would come when in a larger
communion than any sect can offer,
all those who are one with Christ
may be able to blend in manifest
unity!” is worthy of serious and
universal consideration, not because
he said it, nor because he said it
when withdrawing from The Bap
tist Union ; but because the senti
ment therein expressed is, or ought
to be, the sentiment of every Chris
tian in the world.
But again, the importance of
this remarkable utterance of the
greatest living Baptist deserves
careful consideration from the fact,
that he implicitly, but truthfully,
asserts that no sect in. existence
“can offer” a basis of union that
would be universally acceptable to
the people of Clod.
k Finally, Mr. Spurgeon's words
Fdemand and deserve the serious,
thoughtful, carful, honest and
prayerful* consideration of Baptists
not only; but of Methodists, Epis
copalians, Congregationalist,
Presbyterians, Lutherns and all
others, because he lays down the
only true, and therefore, the only
safe and rational basis of unity,
and intimates
the manner in whim: sinful human
ity are to be brought to accept
that basis. “Tlris” that is to say,
this “larger communion than any
sect can offer;” this “manifest
unity,” of “all those who are one in
Christ” this, says Mr. Spurgeon,
“can' only come by the way of
growing spiritual life, clearer light
upon the one eternal truth and a
closer cleaving in all things to Him

Thank God, that this Baptist
brother, who will not unite with all
who believe m, and practice immer
sion, extends the right hand of fel
lowship to “all those who are one
ia Christ.” Thousands,, on this
side of the Atlantic, yea, millions
it may be, will take the proffered
hand ; and our dear brother Spur
geon may yet rejoice in being a
member of “a larger communion
than any sect can offer.” God speed
the day 1 Reader is that your pray

continually for “clearer light upon
the one eternal truthand seek
henceforth, “in all things, to cleave
closer to Him wi\o is the Head, even
Christ Jesus.”

If you have made up your mind to buy
Hood's Sarsaparilla do not be induced to take
any other. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is a peculiar
medicine, possessing, by virtue of its peculiar
combination, proportion, and preparation,
curative power superior to any other article.
A Boston lady who knew what she wanted,
and whose example is worthy imitation, tells
her experience below:
To Get
° In one store where I went to buy Hood’s
I Sarsaparilla the clerk tried to induce me buy
their own instead of Hood’s; he told me their’s
would last longer; that I might take it on ten
days’ trial; that if I did not like it I need not
pay anything, etc. But he could not prevail
on me to change. I told him I knew what
• Hood’s Sarsaparilla was. I had taken it. was
. satisfied with it, and did not want any other.
1 Hood’s
i When I began taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla
I was feeling real miserable, suffering
1 a great deal with dyspepsia, and so weak
I that at times I could hardly stand. I looked,
and had for some time, like a person in con
sumption. Hood’s Sarsaparilla did me so
• much good that I wonder at myself sometimes
, and my friends frequently speak of it.”
