Belk on the bead, knocking that lady
Insensible and inflicting a painful
wound. When the train reached this

to receive medical attention. While the
wound proved to be not serious, it was
very painful and a number of pieces of
glass were lodged in the scalp. Mrs.
Belk left on the north bound train this
forenoon for her home near Thermal
City. Efforts will be made to ascertain
who threw the rock and. if caught, be
will be rigidly dealt with, according to

If any requests were made f the Ob

day in the First Presbyterian church

commemoration of the 250th aaniver.
sary of that great system, bat the As
sembly passed a resolution that It
would publish the addresses in book
form, which practically - copyrights
them. Mr. Cox and the committee,
however, kindly allow the following ex-
tract which especially interests the
people of this section. The subject was.
The Influence or tne Westminster
System of Doctrine, Worship and Pol
ity on Civil Liberty and Responsible
Government.
Tracing this Influence "long before
the Bitting of the Westminster Assem
bly of Divines the speaker came on
down through the years and countries
until he reached the shores of America,
the beginning of the end of his grand
climax which fired every Calvajiistic
heart present.
THE CLIMAX.
But the chief act in the great drama
was the American Revolution and the
Hounding of the American Republic.
Here the political principles of Calvan-
ism have been roost fully wrought out
and their beneficent effects most fully
realised. Here for the first time in his
tory the Church has been made entirely
independent of the State, and tne full
est freedom of conscience guaranteed
to all men. Here the Caivanistic prin
ciple of representative republicanism
has been fully accepted; and through it
has been secured local self-government
in local affairs together with a true and
efficient central authority, while at the
same time it has avoided imperial cen
tralisation with its inevitable tendency
to despotism on the one hand, and the
excessive multiplication of petty sov
ereignties with their conflicting Inter.
ests and pretensions on the other, and
the perpetuity of our institutions seem
ing now to be secured, absolutism is
doomed. The principle of civil liberty
and responsible government is tri
tunphant, and nothing -remains among
civilized people but the gradual work
ing Qf it out in detail. While the credit
for this grand result does not belong
exclusively to any one race or sect
amohg the American people it is yet
true that the influences which brought
it about were predominantly Caivanis
tic and largely Presbyterian.
"The population of the colonies at the
time of the Revolution had been drawn
most largely from Caivanistic sources
had been brought up under Caivanistic
uiscipline and had imbibed freely of
Caivanistic Ideals.
"When we remember that the Purl
tans of New England, the Dutch of
New York, a full half of the Germans
of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Vir
ginia, the Scotch of New Jersey, the
Scotch-Irish of Pennsylvania, v lr
ginia and the Carolinas, the Huguenots
of South Carolina (but these people
were scattered inconsiderable numbers
through all the colonies) were all of
them Calvanists and practically all of
them save the nrst named were Pres
byterians, we are prepared to appre
ciate the part borne by Calvanists and
Presbyterians in the vindication of
American rtghtB and the establishment
of our free institutions.
"The part borne by the Puritans of
New England In the ajgttation which
led to the war Is common history and
need hot be recounted here. It ia not
so generally known that the Presbyte
rians In all the colonies were to a man
the early and steadfast friends and
champions of American rights, and
were the first to declare for complete
independence .The Presbyterian minis
ters contributed largely to the success
of the Revolution by preaching the duty
of resisting tyranny, and inspiring the
people with confidence in God's over
ruling care and protection.
"The Scotch-Irish Presbyterians were
the first to adopt a policy looking to the
severing of all connection with the
mother country.
"The Scotch-Irish settlers upon the
Watauga and the Holston assembled
at Abingdon In January. 17T5. resolved
that we are resolutely and unalterably
determined never to surrender our In
estimable privileges to any power on
earth but at the expense of our lives."
'The Scotch-Irish Presbyterians of
western Pennsylvania assembled at
Hanna's Town in May. 1776. resolved to
oppose, by force of arms, the aggres
sions of the British Parliament, and
to coincide in any scheme that might
be formed for the defence of America.)
THE MECKLENBURG DECLARA
TION. "The Scotch-Irish Presbyterians of
the good county of Mecklenburg, in the
brave State of North Carolina, assem
bled In May, 1775, in the then hamlet
but now beautiful and historic city of
Charlotte, and within earshot of your
place of assembly, and adopted a dec
laration of independence and a well di
gested scheme of government; and they
did this more than a year before Wash
ington and Jefferson had ceased to
hope for a reconciliation with the
mother country, or the Continental
Congress sufficiently mastered its fears
to renounce its allegiance to the British
crown. Bancroft is fully warranted In
declaring that the first voice publicly
raised in America for severing all con
nection with Great Britain came not
from the Puritans of New England
nor the Dutch of New York nor the
planters of Virginia, but from the
Scotch-Irish Presbyterians.
"The Mecklenburg Declaration will
stand while free institutions endure, as
a monument to the devotion of Presby
terians to civil liberty and responsible
government.
"But the lapse of time admonishes
me that I must bring this address to a
close. Though tempted to go more fully
Into the history of the war of the Rev
olution and the adoption of the Federal,
constitution, and to show more in detail
the part borne by Calvanists and Pres
byterians both in field and council, I
must desist, lest I weary you overmuch, !
nor can I, though the theme be an in
viting one, consume more of your time
to show the need of Calvanism for the
future as a great conservative power
to resist the disintegrating influence
now at work UstrBl civilized states,
tending to the denial and subversion
of all legitimate authority and the
bringing in of anarchy and the wild
license of the mob. I must be content
to quote in support of the main con
tention of this address the testimony
of some eminent, competent and disin
terested authorities.
Bancroft, the historian of the United
States, in speaking of Calvanism. calls
it 'the system which for a century and
a half assumed the guardianship of
erty for the English speaking world,
and again he says that 'the genius of
Calvin Infused enduring elements into
the institution of Geneva, and made of
it for the modern World the impregna
ble fortress of popular liberty, the fer
tile seed plot of Democracy.
"John Morley. the great Radical, has
recently declared that "Calvinism sav
ed Europe.'
"Ranke. the historian of the Popes,
asserts that 'John Calvin was virtually
the founder of America.
"Fronde, the English historian, in his
lecture on Calvinism at St. Andrew's
University, used this language, "I shall
ask you again, why if it be a creed of
intellectual servitude. It was able to in
spire and sustain the bravest efforts
ever made by men- to break the yoke of
unjnst authority. When all else has
failed, when patriotism has covered, its
face and human courage broken down,
when intellect has yielded, as Otobon
says, with a smile or a sigh, content to
philosophise in the closest and abroad
to worship with the vulgar, when emo
tion and sentiment and tender imag
inative piety have become the hand
maids of superstition, and have dreamt
themselves into forgetfulness that there
is any difference between lies and
troth, this slavish belief called-Calvin-
ism has in one or another of its forms
borne ever an inflexible front against
illusions and mendacity and has pre
ferred rather to be rronnd to Dowder
like, flint than to bend before violence
or meit nnder enervating temptation.'
Upon these conclusions of history I
am satisfied to rest thecase."

eartbQuake shock, and one of the long

section since the memorable Charleston
earthquake in IMS, was felt here at 1:68
o'clock this afternoon. The shock lasted
about a minute, although it seemed
much longer, and the movement of the
wave appeared to be from west to east.
There was a general exit from stores
and residences to the streets, and con
sternation; reigned supreme for a-few
minutes. Borne people report a feeling
of nausea or sea sickness as a result of
the shake.) Bricks were shaken -off chim

negro when the shooting occurred. Dil

other fragrant flowers offset the un

front of the bullqlng two harp shaped
plats of green enclose a circle, within
whose borders thrives a flower garden
that will prove a delight to the weary

our people, who will no doubt profit
thereby by dedicating some parts of the
