For several days past Fonda has
been receiving a visit from two former
residents whom this town may be
proud to own. We refer to Harvey
A. Cook, of Harlem, Ga., and Airs.
Maria E. Nickerson, of Athens, Ga.
Mrs. Nickerson is a sister of Mr. Cook
and her husband is one of the best'
known and most influential citizens of i
Athens—one of the most flourishing ;
of southern cities. Mr, Cook was the :
first settler in what is now Harlem '
Ga. Ten years ago it was a deusly
wooded country. He located a saw j
mill and a home. At last through ■
his influence a charter was granted
for the village of Harlem and he
wisely had the proviso embodied in
the charter “that no spirituous liquor
should ever be sold in the place.”
The village grew and to-day it has
fine schools, several churches, num
erous stores, a tine newspaper and
and plenty of railway facilities,
etc., It has 800 inhabitants
and of the buildings Mr. Cook owns
over 40. When he visited Augusta a
few days ago he overheard some one
remark to a friend, “There goes a
man who own half of Harlem” and it
is a fact.—Canajoharie (N. Y) Courier.

Drugs and Fanry Groceries.
We take special pleasure in calling
attention to the announcement of Dr.
D. L. Peeples in another column. He
has moved into the store under the
Sentinel office, recently occupied by
Mr. W. S. Lazenby, which his been
refitted mid fixed up in tip top order
and is now supplied with an elegant
stock of pure drugs and well selected
line of fancy groceries to which he
invites the attention of the people of
Harlem and Columbia county.. He
proposes to sell drugs mid groceries
at rock bottom prices. When you
come to town give him a call.
Foster & Doughty.
Nothing has been omitted by
Messrs. Foster & Doughty in the ar
rangement of the yard and the con
struction of the warehouse and other
buildings which will add to tiie con
venience and economy of handling the
“fleecy staple.” Thus, with the most
perfect facilities at their command,
and uniting in themselves all the ad
vantages of long experience and
thorough acquaintance with each and
every detail of the cotton business,
the firm is prepared to conduct with
success every sort of transaction in
the staple,selling, sampling, weighing,
storage and compressing, and no
house can offer superior inducements
for patronage. Liberal advances are
made on consignments and the best
results assured in selling to those
entrusting business to them. Try

Camp Meeting-
The annual camp meeting at grand
old White Oak, convened on last
Thursday and concluded yesterday
morning. These annual reunions are
looked forward to with pleasure, re
ligiously and socially from year to
year, and all seem to enter into them
with the right spirit and everything
usually passes off with pronounced
credit to all. The meeting just closed
was largely attended and we are in
formed all the tents were occupied
and ample provision made to take
care of the immense concourse who
generally attend this God favored
spot. The best order prevailed and
great credit is due the management.
Great interest was manifested in the
meeting and we sincerely hope good
and lasting impressions were made.
Adjoining counties were well repre
sented, particularly Richmond county,
more especially that part of it upon
which the city of Augusta stands.
Quite a number of Augustas most
substantial business men were there,
we opine on a two fold mission and
perhaps some on a three fold one.
Our town furnished quite a large
delegation, principally her lovely and
accomplished young ladies and noble
young men. It was a feast lor us, at
these meeting we meet so many whom
we are glad to see, a great many of
whom we see only at the camp meet
ing. M’e deem it quite a privilege
once a year to indulge in the hearty
handshake and the friendly inter
change of views on the general topics
of the day.
A Shooting- Scrape.
MH. P. E. HOBBS SHOT BY MR. 8. E.
KELLY. .
We are informed that on last Satur
day evening a difficulty occurred be
tween Messrs. S. E. Kelly and P. E.
Hobbs in which the former shot the
latter.
The circumstances seems to have
been about as followers: Last week
Mr. Hobbs carried some cattle to
Augusta, and through mistake took a
calf belonging to Mr. Kelley. On re
turning home from the city be re
ceived a note from Mr. Kelley relative
to the matter, whereupon Mr. Hobbs
after satisfying himself of the mistake
which occurred in taking the cattle
from the pasture, in which both of
the gentlemen hail cattle, proposed to
settle the matter by paying Mr. K.
whatever was right. Pending the
time Mr. Hobbs’ father-in-law came
forward aud paid the amount of $lO
to Mr. K.
On Saturday morning it seems that
Mr. Hobbs made some remarks about
Mr. Kelley taking advantage of him
in extorting such a large price for the
calf, which Mr. K. heard of and in
the evening he made an attack on
Mr. H., who at the time was unarmed.
Mr. Kelley fired one shot at Mr. H.
which took effect in his left side just
above hip causing a painful but not
serious wound. At this juncture they
were separated. Up to this writing
Mr. Hobbs is reported to be doing as
well as the circumstances will admit.
I'lirisliuii Spirit.
The Sentinel was present on Tues
; day afternoon last at White Oak
camp meeting and heard a certain
1 minister of the Gospel from Augusta
assail the Episcopal Church in a man
ner very unbecoming a Christ inn,
j stating that the religion of the Epis-
I copalian consists in forms and cere
mony, and all that is necessary to be
. come a full fledged member and com
municant is to be able to repeat the
Apostles creed, the Lord's prayer and
the Commandments. This assault
took place at a private tent during the
I afternoon services A service he
! should have taken part in, because it
. was his duty but not so, ho remained
I nt the tent and gave vent to his spleen,
us regards the Episcopal religion very
! free’y. We are disposed to throw the
I mamle of charily around him and say
I that his church is somewhat to blame
j for this onslaught, from the fact it
| has not permitted him to leave hi«
j work and spend at least the month of
August in some resort in the moun
tains of Virginia or North Carolina.
He Ims a malarial appearance and wo
would suggest a vacation.
Evolution.
Eiuto. s Sentinel:
I noticed an article in lhe Evening
News headed Dr. Woodrow not.
guilty, alter a two days investigation
by the Augusta Presbytery, which
held its session nt the old Bethany
Church, in Greene county, Ga. It
states that lie lias been adjudged not
guilty of the charge of teaching
dangerous error, in that, ho held
that the hypothesis of evolution was
probably true, mid certainly not
inconsistent with the Bible.
I am sorry to know that the article
expressed sympathy with any such
person who will advocate the
Darwinian theory of the evolution of
man by generation and descent from
the lower animals, as the true theory
'of the origin of the human race.
lam glad to know that D . Wm
Aduh.s, of Augusta, who is prosecuting
the case, has given notice of an
appeal to the Presbyterian Synod,
and hope that body will never stop
until lie is excommunicated from the
church, as all such men have no
business in the church of God.
I do not intend to enter into n
discussion of the subject of evolution,
for I have no patience with any such
foolish and nonsensical inconsisten
cies and impossibilities. I prefer to
believe in the theory of the origin of
the human race as taught in the first
and second chapters of Genesis.
I prefer to believe that I am a
descendant from Adam mid Eve, as
certainly I have the word of God to
sustain me in that belief, ami further
more I prefer to believe that I descen
ded from Adam, whom the Bible says
was made in the image and likeness
of God.
I rejoice to know that Inm a
descendant from a pair of the most
beautiful creatures that ever graced
the world, yes, beautiful in person,
and character, and lovely and perfect
in form and pure and holy as God, in
their origin and original state.
I believe by sin they disfigured their
pristine beauty and lost their first
estate. 1 believe in Jesus Christ the
Son of God, by whose death and
ressurrection, we have eternal life.
I believe the Bible to be true from
lid to lid, yes,from Genesis to Revela
tion. I believe it to be the word of
God, mid as proof of that fact it has
withstood the attacks of infidels and
wicked men throughout the world,
and to-day its sacred pages shine as
brightly with everlasting life as they
did when first handed down from the
hands of the inspired and holy men
of God.
Away with the idea of infidelity
which says there is no God. no Christ, I
no Heaven, no hell, and the Bible is!
not an inspired work, which says that j
men pass away like a dog and a |
dumb animal. Away with Bob
Ingersoll and his theory, as it will not
stand the test when the world is
wrajiped in flames. Now, if Dr.
Woodrow aud bis advocates prefer to
believe that they descended from
monkeys, I say allow them to enjoy
the idea, (but out of the church how
ever,) 1 have serious doubts as to
whether such men have ever been
truly converted to God.
I maintain where the impress
of Jesus has been stamped upon the
hearts of his people they will never
go off' into Darwinianism, Woodrow
ism or Beecherism, 1 contend that
all such men are on the downward
j track to perdition, and the sooner they
blow on brakes ami backout, the
1 better for them.
1 am glad to know that the I’resby-
I terian General Assembly which held
j its session in Memphis Tenn., in May
I la t, put iis foot down upon evolution
, in the following manner:
I "The Presbyterian General Assembly
in its inquiry into evolution reached
I the conclusion that it is dangerous
| theory. The g od preachers are right.
1 A torch in n powder factory would not
j be anymore dangerous than evolution
in the Christian church. Its acceptance
would invalidate the whole super
structure of Christianity.”
Now this is exactly my opinion of
evolution m <1 its influence upon the
Christian religion, and if tolerated
would result in the overthrow of the
church of God. But thanks be to
God, that Ho is at the helm, and
through the blood of Jesus Christ
will guide his church safely and
triumphantly through evolution and
infidelity into the port of everlasting
lite. Now, in conclusion, I will say,
that for the good of the Christian
religion that it would be better for
Dr. Woodrow and all his advocates if
they were buried one mile under
ground, and the Stone Mountain
put upon top of them, that they
might never be resurrected.

THE SLUGGARD.
HIS CRIMINALITY HIS TROUBLES-- A
CHANGE IN LIFE HIE , lltsf MERI
TORIOUS STEP LN J,IF®.
Still the pen traces the Sluggard's
life, seeking some worthy deed in
his character. But lo! just about the
anticipated time of worthiness to
dovelope itself in the Sluggard’s life,
we find him guilty of criminality, it
was one of those lovely day s, when
the third season had rolled herself
just half into by-gone day s, hh the
middle of that delightful month
October. A day noted for its bright
ness, when the sun nppearantly
rejoicing in the distance, spreading
wide his gleam y beams, imparting
his noble warmth to the great bosom
of lands, while the fading straw
colored leaves were being gnawed
from their original home, by the
“insatiate tooth of time,” then the
center of gravitation bid them in
flocks fall, to clothe the earth with a
greater fertility for future vegetation,
the streets crowed with Worry
persons giving happy greets to each
ami all of the early morn, the same
day, the same place made visible the
sad action of criminality. The boys
always tookjgreat delight in tantalizing
Torpiditas in regard to Ins awful
laziness, and would even impose on
the poor creature. Though the
reader may suppose that he was not
to bo pitied. Torpiditas was by some
one of the boys nick-named Slug,
which he neither appreciated nor
admired in the least. Now during
this beautiful day a crowd collected
around Slug, (us I will have to be in
fashion now and bold to his nick
name also) for the purpose of bur
lesquing him in regard to his laziness,
upon which point he was exceedingly
sensitive. While all were having their
own sport out of Slug. John Sum
mers, the Summerville fop, stepped
foward to Slug, handed him a fine
revolver saying, there is no harm in
old Slug, now you old coward I’ll
step off and let you have a fair crack
at me, that you might take revenge
out of me for the crowd, so off John
went, and turned up to old Slug,
shouting blaze away old coward.
Sure enough Slug was overcome with
anger, and he tore loose upon the
ostentatious chap, planting a ball in
his left side, ami bringing him to the
sand. The whole town was thrown
into a terrible < xcitement about Slag’s
misbehavior. Slug's energy now was
reared to a considerable high pitch in
making bis escape. So off for the
woods and swamps to hold company
with the bugs and snakes, and to
seclude himself from his persons, so
he suecee -ed and located himself on
a branch of South Edisto, with nice
ripening corn near the swamp. Several
days had elapsed and Slug had
nothing to eat, aud therefore became
extremly hungry. He could not
venture too near town as he had
scarcely no friends, and those whom
he considered Best friends he could
not rely on. He soon realized the
condition of his atom ache, finding
the anterior abdominal regions were
in the very act of adhering to the
vertical column, he had to devise
some means of support. He for-

tumitely had a box of matches in his
lelt coat pocket, happily thinking
of them lie determined to’ slvly visit
the iiriraAeM and pluck a few ears
theredC Now when he bad succeed-
Icd in Obtaining bis corn, he deter
mined to catch himself a large fish to
| have a nice c< rn rousting and fishfry
for his first forest dinner He could
not imagine bow to catch a fish, so
utter u long spell of meditation he
concluded to cut a small grajie vino
mid tie a bent pin on the end of it
for a hook, well bait it and hurl it
I forth u t /on the stream, The white
bait gradually sunk, and soon a large
I trout seized Slug's hook, who quickly
brought him ashore. By this time
Slug was awfully hungry, so out he
proceeded burdened with his great
troubles, and taking his corn and
trout roust in the hot ashes. Soon he
reached u small Island culled Indigo
Is and, floating with dry waving
broom straw about 5 or 6 feet high
and occasioua ly a large beechtree.'
He then hud bis fish ready for (be
ashes, the place selected lieueath one
of those gigantic Leeches, where
sprung bis bright fire with its
glow mg flumes. He nipped his eorn
ami fish together in the ashes and
then Stepped inside when he reclined
his hungerd body, mid his weary
head, where he soon slumbered in
the strong embrace of Morpheus.
A warrant had been previously taken
tor Air. Squezeephantom, and a squad
appointed for bis arrest. They know
not exactly where to begin their search
but during Slug's nap, the fire began
to rage, and its great smoke plainly
visible by the people of Summerville
they h tt. for the island, us everybody
knew all persons were prohibited
from trespassing upon the lands of
Indigo, suppositions immedeately
past o’er the minds of the persons that
there luid the old Slug neur the fire,
so well armed, off they flew in" e.irch
of the criminal, the sheriffw*th his
band reached the island, so they divid
ed. some wont one way while some
another. The old barbarian sheriff
soon reached the spot where ho
rejoiced in finding Torpiditas hard
snoring. He then drew from his
buck coat pocket two large weighty
hud cuff's, and after having securely
fastened them ho waked his prisoner,
who knew not what to say, what to do*
orMiere to look. The sheriff bid him
man )> just ahead of him. Slug being
awfully, umj even destressingly
hungry begged the sheriff to please
give him a piece of biscuit, the sheriff
having ulljadvantago of Klug, instead
gave him a bard kick ordering him on,
usd guve the signal for his party to
withdraw from the swamps us he hud
captured the prisoner. The sun waa
setting fur in the West behind heavy
black clouds, and all the skies were
darkened by stormy scenes, th» ele
ments nppearantly in violent commo
tion Soon al read e I ofine dwelling of
II very wealthy farmer. Now the cruelty
of the guard was to be plainly seen,
they tied poor Slug to ri huge post
ami tied him up so high thut be was
standing upon the tips of his toes,
with the blood dripping from his
raw wrists where the tight handcuff
bound him. The former desired to
take him in to tea, but the guard
refused to permit such kind treat
ment to their prisoner. They made
him do low down acts with n promise
of release, and ns soon us he would
respond to their commands, they
would ridicule him with scorn. Here
comes the tierce storm, with its lion
like wind with its bombarding thun
<lt r in deafning noise with its lightning
flushing from Heaven to earth, and
the rain falling in awful torrents,
vith the pour prisoner enduring it all,
a perishing soul and body. Slug now
gave himself to n higher power, and
end avored to km el in prayer,Jbut his
hightied cuffs would not permit So
in an erect attitude lie looked with a
true heart to the great Johovah beg
ging for some pitying person to
sympathize, and comfort him with
even a small morsel of food. We yet
left him strongly bound to the huga.
post amid the storm.
