March 25,1914 Remember that next Saturday is rieia Day at ^nestenieia ana that your presence is probably needed. ^ There has been talk of an effort to abolish the county-tocounty state campaign in South Carolina. Governor Blease announces that he will make the rounds and speak in every county in the state whether the ether candidates do or not. It was a surprise to us to find in yesterday's Charlotte Observer Mr. R. F. Beasley's announcement as a candidate for Robt N. Page's seat in congress as a representative from the seventh North Carolina district. Mr. Beasley has more than once vigorously attacked Page's record in congress, but we were not prepared for the news that he would make the race against him. Mr. Beasley is one of North Carolina's deepest thinkers, and as a former resident of his district we would like to see-him . go up to Washington as a representative of the best section of North Carolina. More fertilizer has been sold in South Carolina this year than ever before. Now, what do vou think of that? We had hoped that the people of the State had seen the evil of gambling with fertilizers, but not so. They are betting more heavily _. _ thm ran lake this fertilizer and rob the earth of enough of her plant food to pay for the ferilizer. Overlooking the fact that the Creator has placed tons . and tons of the very best fertilizer right over each acre, we buy high priced fertilizer, pay freight on it, haul it and distribute it 1 - - -1 uvci uui ueius, Hoping inereoy to make them rich and to grow bountiful crops. When we realize that commercial fertilizer will never make land rich and begin to fill the soil with vegetable matter, we'll cut the fertilizer bill in half and m. ke better crops too. Nearly every man makes enough to pay his fertilizer bill, but how long are we going to labor year after year for the fertilizer manufacturer? Very few small towns have any sanitary regulations that are effective until the soil of the whole town is polluted with filth and then the regulations nrn nnf uik ii\/i ?uiiu very mucn. Pageland has been remarkably free from diseases caused by unsanitary conditions, but the time has come when more effective rules are necessary that this enviable record may be maintained. We learn that the town officials are about to undertake some very important moves in regard to sanitation here, and we write this that you may not be taken off your feet when you are asked to do a few simple though important things to safeguard the health of the people who live in Pageland now and who mav live here in the years to come. The ooil here is very porous I it " anu ine wens are very shallow. These facts make it necessary that the soil be kept as free from pollution as possible. Fly time is here-again, and our people are entitled to protection from these dangerous little filth carriers. We shall not here go into the details of the steps to be taken, , but we earnestly ask the cooper- \ ation of every citizen of the 1 . ff own in the work to be under- 1 aken by the men. you have sleeted to office. If you are ask- 1 jd to do things that at first seem 1 to you menial or useless, remem- ; t>er that those who are behind the move can have no ax to ?rind and that it is for the good of all that the work is undertaken. CHURCH NOTES Baptist J. M. Sullivan. Pastor. One of these Sundavs we hope to be entirely well and fill our appointments and be our real self again. We have no apology to make about anything we have said about that "hateful" old malady called "grip." Because he has not ?nly kept us from preaching but he has kept us from hearing others. Last Sunday evening being fresh in our mind when we so much desired to hear the presiding Elder Massabeau, but could not. Inasmuch as last Sunday's Sunday school lesson lingers in our mind we must say just a word Vetses 26 and 27. modern izing just a little, we fear that many good (?) church members will say, "Lord you don't know us; we were baptized into the fellowship of such a church on a certain day in a certain month in a certain year and we were always present on communion Sundays dressed in our best "slit" skirt and gold band on our leg or that best tailored suit with diamond ring on our finger, and we were just as graceful as we could be, and also we looked "long faced" and pious as we could, having just as much a "form" of godliness as it was possible for us to have. Lord it does seem so strange that you can't remember us when we always sang in the choir or sat near the front and when our pastor gave largely of his salary to Missions we gave| a 5 cents piece (one dollar to ^hoNY.andj?^e^Sui:e week b'ilort) to help save the world because] we believed (?) they were lost and ruined without the Gospel." Union meeting meets with Union Hill church next Friday and Saturday, also services Sunday 11 o'clock a. m. White Plains next Sunday 3.30 p. m. Pageland 8 p. m. We hope to have some one to preach for us at these services. Methodist Episcopal By Rev. J A. Mcuraw, We failed to go to Mt. Croghan last Sunday morning, on account ot the weather. This is the third Sunday in five years that we have failed to be at our appointed service. Each time we laid the blame on the snow. All our churches were not represented at Zion last Saturday but we had a splended report from those that were there. How ever^our Jefferson hretheren did us one better for which we do not envey them- The Zion friends had an abundant dinner on hand and although the weather was disagreeable our joint quarterly conference was a pleasant occasion. Bro. Massabeau preached for us at Zion in the afternoon and at Pageland at night last Sunday, and his sermons were fine. A full and competent choir rendered unusually good music Sunday night, Miss Wright presiding at the organ. The following have been elected delegates to the district conference which meets in Bennetts ville on April 7-9, P. H. Arant, W. J. Rayfield, N. V. Carnes, A. M. Agertonand J. II. Rivers. Next Sunday at 11 o'clock we ...Ml 1- -at, . - win picdcu ai rageianci on me origin, nature, purpose, benefits and elegibility of the sacraments after which the Ixmi's supper will he administered. All who love God are invited to join with the congregation in this celebration. And whether or not a per son joins with us in the celebration wf are especiqly anxious that all shall coine out and ha / v ' i. with ns during the preaching. A We hope that |the ladies wittJ not let the matter of fixing din-1 tier keep them from church next Ij Sunday fhorning. We may never preach here again on the 8 nature of the sacraments. Let) s them come with the men and ^ children, all. We will preach next Sunday i afternoon at Center Grove j school house at 3:30 o'clock.
