Then the present station was built, ^^eqney ttfing subscribed by the jopie or Sharon. Generous Mr. John I flainey not only gave the site for le station but contributed $100.

Early Cotton Buyers,. 'he first cotton buyers at Sharon re Messrs/W. S. Wilkerson and Bert ope, the latter buying for the late J. | r. P. Hop? in Yorkville. There were > banks in this section then and cot- j at buyers paid cash for cotton. Mr. 'ilkerson, old residents recall, had his lank" or money for cotton, in a little i >use near where Mt\ J, D. Gwinn's sidence now stands. Dr. Saye tolls i 1 amusing story about one of the earcotton buyers: "Cotton was selling for 10 cents a ! >und, as well as I remember; and a 1 ,rmer of the community had agreed to >11 a bale weighing over 600 pounds at i^t. figure. Before it was delivered icre was a sharp drop of around two :nts\ji pound. When the extra big, illTwas delivered the buyer was rearig-' " "Just look how wet that cotton is,' i gruqnbled. 'I can't afford to pay 10 ' pound for water. Too wet.' oo v*>t. Too wet.' nntf?n uiaa ok rlrv oc nnrvtler." vw\W"M w v..4, r , iid the narrator. "It was that two iijt^a.pound drop that was hurting.", f Business Enterprises. Shortly after Lowry. Starr and Ross J ltcrcd the mercantile business, the rm of Hamilton <5i Carroll opened iu j haren. S. S. Plexico opened a store tiout the* same time. About 1890 Dr. inckney .Ham bright and John May pened a drug store. In a short time lis was purchased by John I*. Rnirey nd Dr. J. H. S i ye. W. L. Hill, who ad ben <<hrndwting a store near old ethel Baptist church in Ruilock's reek township, movd to Sharon in JS9. In the fall of 1890 Mr. Hill ought out the firm of Lowry, Starr & asp, who had tho largest mercantile ustnrss in the village then. Coming ) Sharon, it. is said with less than aj mo-horse m load of goods. Mr.' Hi! has huim up in less than thirtyvo years, one of the largest mercanle businesses in the Piedmont s -cti n South Carolina. The first blacksmith shop was est.abshed hy Willism Smith, of th Smyrn section and the first ginneries wer perat- ' bv Messrs. John Ross and jhn livers. The First National Bunk of Sharon,1 4. . 7 was organized in 1909, the first brick [ building in the town being' built to house the bank and the store of R. H. G, Cald- ell & Sons, which adjoins the bank. In 191S the Planters Bank of Sharon was organized. Since then several other brick buildings have been built, including some handsome brick residences. First Residence. The first residence in Sharon was buiit by John Ross. It is now occupied by C. S. Pratt and family, the house having been remodeled sine? it was built originally. Shortly after Mr. Ross built a house, dwellings were erected by Messrs. Robert J. Whisonant, W. L., R. R., and J. M. Plexico. Postoffice Established In 1888. A post office was established in Sharon the saune year that the railroad came through?1888. In the thirtyfour years of its existence as a town Sharon has had five postmasters. The first was John D. Hamilton. He was succeeded by the late Elias Ramsey. He was followed by R. H. G. Caldwell, who served many years. Mr. Caldwell's son, Mr. W. B. Caldwell, succeed ed him, and Mr. W. B. Caldwell was succeeded during: the year 1921 by the present postmaster, Mr. R. B. Plexico. Sharon is now rated as a thirdclass office. , Three physicians have served the people of Sharon and community since the town came into being:. Dr. J. rf. Save was the first. He came to Sharon in December, 1892, and has just completed the thirtieth year of hi9 residence here. In 1893 Dr. Charles Crosby came to Sharon. He remained only a short time. In 1904 Dr. C. O. Burruss came to Sharon, and he, like Dr. Saye, is a fixture. Schools and Churches. Miss Jennie White,* sister of the late Dr. W. G. White o<" Yorkville, was the ill .st school teacher in Sharon after the town was incorporated. That school was established in 1889. There was another small school being conducted at that time near Woodlawn -church, but it was outside the corporate limits of Sharon. Incidentally, it is of interest to note that the school house that wa.- usvl by Miss White's pupils is still b> in.tr used, although in an entirely different capacity. It is now being used to house the ice manufacturing establishment conducted here by Mr. Walter G. Hayes. The present brick school building was completed in 1911. At the time it was completed it was thought that it would prove large enough for the needs of the community for many years to come. But time has proven otherwise. A school building twice the sizr of the present structure is needed now and very probably a school1 building program will be inaugurated during the year 1923. Sharon Associate Reformed Presbyterian church, from which the town g.-ts its name, was organized in 1796, the officiating minister being the Rev. James Rogers of the presbytery of the Carolina^ and Georgia. The congregation of this church, of which Rev. E. B. Hunter is pastor, has during the year now closing, decided to build a new brick church upon which construction work is just beginning. Woodlawn Presbyterian church was built in 1899. The first supply pastor was Rev. Mr. Cook, and the first regular pastor was Rev. W. S. Hamlter. The present pastor. Rev. Carl McCully, hat been a resident of Sharon for two years.' 1 Sharon Methodist church was built this yehr, although the Methodists of Sharon have been holding religious services in the town for several years past. The pastor is Rev. J. W. Lewis, who lives at Hickory Grove. Good Cotton Market. With two ginneries, two cotton storage warehouses and several buyers, Sharon has a reputation of maintaining one of the best cotton markets in York cpunty and farmers from far and near come here to sell their cotton. Live and progressive merchants are in business here and they enjoy a liberal patronage. Ordinarily several thousand bales of cotton arc sold annually at Sharon, and as a rule about 3,500 bales of cotton are ginned here, although these figures were cut in half in 1922, because of the shortness of the crop in the community. With a wonderful record of achievement during the thirty-four years of its history, the peofde of Sharon enter on their thirty-fifth year, optimistic and Tilled with hopeful enthusiasm looking toward a future that promises much more progress and development than is to bo written in the record of the'past. J. D. G. TREASURY PILL CUT Three Million Dollars Less for Next Year. XUiQ million dollars for enforcement of prohibition, or $250,000 less than authorized last year, is provided for in the 1023-1924 treasury supply bill reported by the appropriations committee of the house, says a Washington dispatch. The committee report stated that ^ liile the smaller amount would cause slight decrease in the prohibition organization personnel, bureau oflfi< i ds did not believe reduction will i:.ai>dicap their work to any appre in hie ex'ent. inasmuch as the actual cut in enforcement funds was only Slas,('00. A saving of $112,000 was ivported in transfer of printing alloimcn' and removal from rented quai ters. The total for all purposes carried in the bill is S115.119.810, which is $3,T 'a.otS less than last year, and $2,713,7.V below the budget estimate. !>r collection of revenue customs, iho coniriiitlei recommended $21,950, ?P no increase over the cuircnt apr<r pr! ition ->f Sfi'OOOO which the le.ii?-e ,?;? iTg' d to ncrept so that the rnmeal may receive all the revenue to which it is entitled and impvUy<s. nui> be .able to have their MPMVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SimdaySchool ' LessonT (By REV.

PRIMARY TOPIC?Favored Stories of the Quarter. JUNIOR TOPIC?Jesus Went About Doing Good. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC ?How Jesus Ministered to the .People. YOUNO PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC ?Some Characteristics of Jesus' Ministry. Since all the lessons of the quarter save one are from Luke, and the ten* tral and unifying theme Is Jesu* ! Christ, a profitable way to conduct j the review, as suggested ip Peloubet's j Notes, would be to assign the followI Ing topics to the members of th'e 1 class to make a brief report upon; i 1. Christ's Mission to the World. 2. Christ's Helpers and How He Used Them. 3. Christ's Divine Power and How He Exercised It. | 4. Christ's Methods of Teaching. \ 5. Christ's Love in Its Many ManiI festations. 6. Christ's Courage and How He Showed It. 7. Christ's Foes and His Dealings : With Them. 8. Christ's Pity for Sinners. , j 0. Christ's Passing Through Human ! Experience. 10. Christ ns a Missionary and an Organizer. 11. Christ's Relation to the Father. 12. Christ's Preparation for the ' Climax of His Life. Another way would be by summarizing each lesson, stating the outstanding topic and teaching of each lesson. The following suggestions ! are offered: Legeon 1. The birth of John the i Baptist, which from the human stand- i point was Impossible, was announced to his father, Zacharlas. For his unbelief he was smitten with dumbness. ( God expects of his servant unques- , tloned belief In what He promises. Lesson 2. Jesus was born In Bethlehem just as the prophet had foretold Borne 700 years before, and at the age 1 i of twelve years he consciously entered Into the services of God's house. Though conscious of His divine being and mission. He lived a life of filial 1 obedience. Lesson 3. John the Baptist's min- j lstry was a preparation for the com- 1 Ing of Christ. He fearlessly preached i repentance and pronounced judgment j upon the impenitent. Though a mighty preacher, he humbly declared that Christ was Immeasurably greater than himself. "* I Lesson 4.

The result wps complete victory?a demon- ' stratloi of His ability to save :o the uttermost all who trust Him. < Lesson 5. Isaiah foretold the golden age upon the earth when Christ i will reign. < Lesson 6. While Jesus was here He i healed all kinds of diseuses and cast i i out devils. He authenticated His mission and proved His power to forgive sins by miraculous deeds. Lesson 7. Jesus taught the disciples the principles which should govern in His kingdom. Only those who have been born from above can love their enemies. Lesson 8. While In Simon's house at dinner, a woman who had been a notorious sinner anointed Jesus' feet and wiped them with her hair. The j sinner's gratitude to Jesus for for- ; giveness is measured by the apprehension ol' sins forgiven. ? Lesson 9. Jesus went forth throughout every city preaching the glad tidings of the Kingdom of God. The fact of salvation for sins through a"1 cruellied Redeemer is truly glad tidings. Lesson 10. Jesus sent forth missionaries with the realization of the big tusk before them, and with power to perform supernatural deeds to authenticate their mission. Those who realize the bigness of their task' will earnestly pray that the Lord will send forth laborers Into His harvest. Lesson 11. Jesus' reply to the quesj tion of a certain lawyer, "Who Ls my neighbor?" shows that the all-important consideration ls not "Who is ray neighbor?" but "How can I show that I am a neighbor?" Lesson 12. A certain rich man In his perplexity over his prosper'ty decided to provide larger stores and settie down to a life of sensuous indul- j gence. The one who lays up treas-' ures on earth and Is not rich toward God is a fool. rrnA/lo nvominn.l #. ?-wl rl m 14 o/l uunmnt f-, uuun VA.uiuinu amini^u J/I w.uj/v ly. For refund of taxes illegally collected the sum of $1.,000.000 was re commended )>y the committee which V said this was purely an approximation as no definite data was obtainable to servo as a guide for the future. From 1917 to 1922 internal revenue bureau reports showed aggregate receipts of $21.558,531,640. During these years there was assessed and.collected "as a result of office and fields audits and investigations," $1.320.209 618. "Contrasted to the latter sum," said the committee report, "there was re. funded to taxpayers for the period i named because of over payments the 1 sum of $102,5*7,448."
