Brewer, who lives on Walhalla Rural Route No. 3, came in to pay his subscription to Tho Courier last Thursday. He said that he often noticed that some subscribers come in and announce that the payment of their subscription squares their last debt. "I can't say that," he said, "but 1 have come to pay you what I owe and some In advance. I don't believe In only paying for a paper when I have paid everything else, and If there happens to be some over." And there's a lot of truth wrapped up In those words. Too many view their newspaper obliga tions as matters entirely optional. -Mrs. Lucia Luselle Parker died at her home In Walhalla, corner of Tugaloo and South Broad streets, last Saturday morning.

Bowman, Presiding in Tenth Circuit: We have passed upon all bille of stian to Lecture in Church Sunday, Cans of our town niul vicinity a raro ' privilege of hearing, first hand, and ' from a Jew, about n people concern- 1 lng whom we know so little. Admission to 'Mr. Zimmerman's * meeting is entirely free, and every 1 Christian who cnn do so ls cordially < urged lo como. Some Idea of tho unfortunate posi tion of tho Jews in countries other than freo and liberal America may he gained from a casual remark re cently made hy 'Mr. Zimmerman In response to Inquiry along this Uno. Mr. Zimcmnunn ls now a student In the Columbia Theological Seminary and his. active ministerial labors will be given In the service of tho Lord Josus Christ In the broad iields now opening among the JOWB of America. "Most of the Jews In this country," said Mr. Zimmerman, "come, as I -came, from Russia. In that country lt- ls considered an act of service to Christ to torture and kill the Jews. I can recall vividly many horrible scenes of Russian massacres of Jews. Jewish mothers have been cruelly butchered, their children torn from them, their homos pillaged. All these things were done, and even now are still being done, to Jews by those who call themselves Christians. The rosult ls that the poor Jews ac taully believe that all Christians want to kill Jews. But, whenever the Jew realizes that this is not true of rea] Christians in America, lt be comes at once easier to bring the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ to these Jews. There are literally thousands of Jewish conversions in these days, Just because many Chris tians are now turning to the Jew with a message of love and sympa thy." Sunday Night Also. Mr. Zimmerman will also speak at the 7.30 j), m. service at the Presby terian church. In view of tho fact, that there will be no services at either tho Methodist or Baptist churches, everybody is urged to at tend. The speaker comos highly rec ommended to tho Christians of our town and State, pud in turning this bpon-sorvlco hour over to Mr. Zim merman lt. ls felt that a splendid op portunity present? itself for widen ing the scope of usefulness of this convert to Christianity from tho re ligion of tho Jewish people.

Now York, Nov. ll.-Now York jity water front was the scone of an ther disastrous fire to-day when the factory of the Washburn Wire Coni mny, which was working on large car miers for the United States govern ment, was destroyed with an estimat ed loss of nearly $2,000,000. Tho ;introlmnn who discovered the Aro mid lie found three separate blazes it different places in tho factory, which was housed in a sortes ot buildings extending from 117th to 118th streets and half a block deep JU the East river front in Harlem. An Investigation started by Eire Marshal Broppy baa rovoaled that it jooro of Germans and an equal num ber of Austrians, only one of whom possossod a zono permit, were Includ ?d in tho force of 1,000 employees lu the factory. Only about 85 men wore In tho factory when tho fire Btartod. Eourteon nationalities aro represented nmong the workmen, it ls said. Summoned to Appear. Federal authorities have heon no tified of the failure of the company to obtain zone permits for Its alien enemy employees and Fire 'Marshal Broppy has summoned I). C. Turner, general manager of the company, and a score of employees to appeal' be- . foro him to-morrow. Tho fire, one of tho most spectacular of recent years, started shortly after noon and was not brought under control until I o'clock. The buildings ranged from two to six stories in height and only parts of two of them remain stand ing. Tenement houses nearby wero emptied of occupants and lt was only after the greatest struggle by fire men that the flames wero confined to the factory. Five firemen were in jured by falling walls and a water tower was demolished under an ava lanche of bricks. Tons of barbed wire, placed on the sidewalks, pre paratory to loading to-morrow, and scattered through tho factory were destroyed, By band and Water. <i Tho flames apparently enveloped tho different buildings of the factory In a large district. This was aug mented by a fleet of fire patrol boats, j and railroad fiats equipped with high pressure hose. A series of explosions, caused when the flames roached oil accumu lations in tho machinery, added to the danger of the fire. Some of tho explosions caused floors and walls to collapse, sending up great clouds of sparks that dew to nearby buildings. Stores of mnterilas used In manufac turing insulation gave out a heavy black smoke which, with the terrific, heat, kept tho fire fighters nt least a half block from tho factory. * Miss Dolly Knox Dead. ?
