I never looks toward the blue heavens.
.He serves one god—the golden calf —
and never for a moment takes his eyes
off it; for him, there is no security or
safety in any other sort of God.

I earthly things, must shatter, he is
wrecked morally, physically, and, spir-1
itually—if a hog has a spirit. He has >
not the true and splendid manhood to
rise above the ruin of his broken idol.;
Am I a human hog? Are you? The I
answ'er is—No! Need I ask why? For
ione thing, good people don’t cast

turn upon them and rend them. Just
I why any sane being can adopt the tac-

boat capsizes. He is willing to accept
the best people have, but he has noth- j

Reid and Parkinson Will Be Opposed
By Green and ‘Skeet’ ’Galloway
In Friday’s Grid Encounter.
Aijderson, Nov. 4.—^^When the Ers-
kine Seceders and Presbyterian Blue
Stockings go together at Memorial
field on Friday, as the feature ath-
lletic event of the Anderson agricul
tural fair, two of the fastest football
teams in the state will be fighting
for supremacy in the “secofld division”
of the Palmetto race.
Constructed along the same lines,
the two outfits are expected to put on
one of the greatest exhibitions of
aerial warfare seen on the South Car-
{olina gridiron this season.
I Reid and Parkinson, the great duo
of the Seceders, will he pitted against
Green and Galloway, two, fast and
flashy backs of the Presbyterian col
lege outfit. And in the contest among
the wingmen there will be Hambright,
one of the most brilliant ends in the
state, against Lynn, of Presbyterian,
who has shown great form this sea
son in the wing position.
I VV’hile both teams are equipped with
a great running attack, it is indicated
that the aerial game will be brought
to the fore in this contest, this form
of warfare being the chief weapon of
both teams. However, Presbyterian
college is going to depend to a large
extent on the speed of Jimmy Green,
who has demonstrated this season that
he is one of the greatest running backs
in the state, and who is expected to
make a bid for all-state honors this
year.
I Jake Todd has a great running back
I in Parkinson, who with Reid and Potty
^was a member of the state champion
ship freshman team of a few years
ago when the Erskine frosh humbled
the Clemson college cubs in a Thanks
giving day game at Memorial athletic
field by a score of 7 to 6.
I The contest here on Friday will be
I the last state game ^for three of Ers-
kine’s stars, Reid, Parkinson and
I Hambright. It will be the final oppor
tunity for many fans to see this great
I Wiley Weathers of Youngs Township,
Takes Life With Shotgun. No
I Reason Given.
Laurens, Nov. 4.—As his bride of
I two months and two of his sisters
I helplessly looked on from a distance
i of a few hundred feet Wiley R. Weath-
[ ers, young farmer of near Central
: school house. Youngs township, early
[today suicided by shooting himself in
jthe head with a shot gun.
I Coroner John A. Thomason held the
j inquest and according tS investigation
I by other officers and the testimony
I given before the jury it seems that
i Weathers had started out squirrel'
hunting with a friend by the name of
Cox. After going a short distance
' Weathers told Cox he was going to
kill himself. Coxngot Weathers quieted j
and then hastened to the house to in-1
^form the family. Before the wife and I
sisters reached the scene they were ^
horrified to witness the husband and;
brother practically decapitated as he ■
Jcnelt at the edge of the woods, placed
the gun muzzle to his temple and fired. [
It was testified by a sister that her
brother had objected to the Holiness'
meetings at his father’s with whom he!
and his wife lived, one of which was
held Sunday afternoon, nothing being!
thought of the protest of the young;
man. Weathers formerly lived in Spar
tanburg county.

We are now showing new samples of Steel Engraved
Christmas Greeting Cards in a variety of lovely designs.
Engraved Cards are individual, neatest and best, and
are becoming more stylish each year.
THE SAFE THING TO DO IN BUYING CHRISTMAS
CARDS IS TO DEAL WITH AN EXPERIENCED FIRM
'■ i I • .» — J—■ 4
The sending of Christmas Cards is a social custom in
which correct usage counts most. Your Christmas Cards
reflect your individuality. Above all, you want them to
be up-to-date, correct in style and in engra ving, aiid the
proper reflection of our own personality.
The advice and assistance of a dealer, experienced
in handling Christmas card orders is invaluable.
Does the casual, itinerant, unattached house-tb-
house canvasser or the friend who is selling cards in an
attempt to raise money, have the necessary experience
or background to wisely advise you as to the many social
conventions which must be observed if your card is to
properly reflect your own personality and adhere to
proper social usage?
We invite you to call and see our samples, or if you
prefer, we will gladly send them to your home for an
inspection.
We would deem it a pleasure to look after your re
quirements.
