Pharr and C. W. Tillctt, Jr. F. M.
Redd is assisting Solicitor George
Wilson in the prosecution. The plea
-. of the. defense will be insanity on
the part of the defendant. Sam Hill,
son of Mrs. Bolejack by former mar
riage, was the first witness. He tsti-
fled that Bolejack came home about
11 o clock in the morning on January
1. He had not been home for several
days. Without any warning he pull
ed out his pistol and fired at Hill. The
latter ran. Bolejack went into the
- hallway, the witness stated, and then
it-to tbe kitchen, where Mrs. Bole
jack was. Hill picked up a cbair and
started after his stepfather, as he
feared be meant to attack bis moth
er. He beard Mrs. Bolejack say, "Go
away; I don t want to have any trou
bio with yon." Before Hill could in
terfere Bolejack had begun firing at
Mrs. Bolejack, four shots' being fired,
two or three taking effect. Mrs. Bole

Tbe following is the flrst of a series
of aketchea of the churches of tbe city
which we shall publish within the
neat two or three weeks. Each sketch
will be prepared by the pastor or
some member of the church to which
it refers:
' Tbe beginning of Presbyterianism
in this town was the organization of
a church ia 1804. By tbe only records
we bave of this event, we know that
six Presbyterians paid Jobn Masters,
Esquire, ten pounds for two acres of
land on wbieb to build a church.
These six men were elected elders in
the new church.
We do not know whether tbe da;
on which tbe church was organised
was hot or cold, bright with sunshine
oi dark with cloud and storm, but
we do know it was a work well done
work which has been crowned ith
the blessing of tbe Great Head of
the Church. It would be of great in
terest to know who moderated the
meeting at this session, how many
ministers and elders were present,
wbo they were and bow many com
municants were put on the roll of
membership. But we can well leave
these particulars to the misty paat,
and recall, with gratitude, tbe nur
turing care this church has received
from Concord Presbytery since its
organisation, one hundred and ten
ytars ago.
Rev. John Robinson. D. IX, then
pastor of Poplar Tent Church, one
of the foremost divines of his day,
laid tbe foundation of evangelical re
ligion, broad and detp, by taking this
people under his care, and preaching
to them as often as he found time to
do so for 16 years.
In 1820 Rev. Samuel CaldwelD
pastor ot sugar Creek Church, be
came stated supply, preaching once
a month until 1825, when he was suc
ceeded by Rev. Jesse Rankin, filling
tbe same office, stated supply and
preaching also once a month. Rev.
John M. Ervin was next in the pul
pit as stated supply for two years.
the flrst pastor was Kev. James Eli
jah Morrison, Wbo came iu 1835 and
served faithfully and acceptably uu
in jk4. lie was succeeded bv Kev
Peter Tinsley Penick,' whose pastor.
ate lasted until 1860. During the
Confederate war Rev, Robert H. An
derson was stated supply until he
joined the army as chaplain, Rev. V.
w. MipRincK, s graduate irom Xlit
Seminary, was pastor for two years.
nev. Mr. Anderson again supplied
the church at irregular intervals. So
seldom could he occupy the pulpit
tliat be insisted on having no salary
paia mm, ims congregation, as
"returned not from tbe battle," and
the church suffered u well as other I
interests. Concord Presbytery was
cognisant of conditions in this church
and sent Dr. Kirkpatriek, president
of Davidson College, to hold eommun
ioe and baptise tbe children. He
said to us, "You people must get
a preacher," and we did. Ber. Eph
raim H. Harding accepted a call in
1866, remaining four years. ' The
next pastor waa Rev. Luther MeKin
non, wbo resigned in 1883 to go to
Columbia, 8. C. In 1884, Bev. C. M.
Payne took pastoral charge of the
church, and . labored here for ten
years. Sneeeeding pastors were Rev.
W. C. Alexander, D. D., in 1894;
Rer. George H. Cornelson, D. D., in
1900, and since 1907, the present be
loved pastor, Dr. John M. Grier, at
present, Ber. J. A. McQueen, asso
ciate pastor.
The Concord church has been sig
nally favored in the high character,
the ability, the purity and piety of
tuese ministers, as supplies and pas
tors. The people have heard from
them the pure gospel with no admix
ture of error, no sensationalism, no
doubtful tone of tbe trumpet.
lue omcial boards, elders and dea
cons have been men of integrity.
raiuunl to the trusts reposed in
in them. The congregation has had
four church homes, the first a small
qucerly constructed log house; the
second of brick and still standing: a
third and a fourth, located on West
unpm sireei. a cnurcu bell was
bought by Elder A. J. Yorke in 1854;
the pipe organ in 1880.
The Benevolent Society was oriran
ized in 1845; the Woman's Foreign
Missionary Society in 1887; the
Young Ladies' Foreign Missionary
Society in 1898. The present mem
bership of the church is 517.
, Many revivals have been held iu
this church with permanent results
One in 1853, under the preaching of
Rev. Daniel Baker, of Texas, is re
membered as a precious season of
"refreshing from the presence of the
Lord, when many were added to the
church of such as shall he saved."
Another notable one was held durinir
Dr. Payne's pastorate, when 120(1
people crowded the church to hear
Rev. R. G. Pearson.
Connected with this church have
been, and are still, many families
prominent in tbe,. -basinet, political,
social and religious life of the town,
the county and the State.
