FRIENDS" . v By Ann Thompson Chapter 7 The robber proved to be Neil Hamilton, a noted rogue, who lived two miles from Saluda, up on the mountain. Neil refused to toll the police any thing about the jewelry (he had stolen) at first, but later Mr. Vant (detective) and Mr. Field (police man) searched his rcom, in the small cottage which his mother kept for him, and foum' them. Betty was overjoyed to see her "things" come homo aftain, as she r. aver exipectcd to see them again. Hamilton was taken to jail the night he was caught. The days flew by and Priscill-: sr'-i'.i added to her already score of J frionds. Helen S-ark had given a dance in Pris: ilia's honor, also Margaret Field (one vf Priseilla's many admirers) gave a bridge party. . 1 Betty was planning to give a dance | the night before Priseilla Jeft Saluda. I Everybody admired Priscjlla's pirace- ( tul figure !*nd sho looked so pretty I dressed in her different costumes. ! One day, just as Priseilla entered i>etty's ro m. she heard sobs, an'] j looking at the bed, saw Betty lying | there, crying! ! "Betty, ha-* something terrible hap- j pened or what is the matter?" ex* i claimed Priseilla. Betty sobbed hei 1 answer, "Priseilla, ycu have i many friends, but nobody hardly no-) tices m?, and 1 know the reason. You have su?h charming manners and are ' so fremily, when I am so indifferen; ) I wish I could bo like y:u." Pris eilla tried to comfort her. During Pfiscillu's last week in Sa luda, everyone noticed a change in Betty. She seemed much sweeter than over before, an.! was k:nd and ' ready to join in everything with the "crswd." Priseilla and B "v wjr? helping Mrs Owens plan J h : t's.ce and clean 1 Up for It, as it h ^ i i 1 thti n:ght. j Px*isciilft' had . -'.v. *care,5 j and -would ^e ri9-"y 'or rn early ! start the next msr.n'.:, w?th" Betly and Mr. Owens. I Priseilla was beautiful that, flight j in a lavendar organdie, while Betty j ih an imported lace d/ess did not | have the charm and beauty which ' Priseilla possessed. Helen was Piling to spend a week i end with Priscill*., later on in the ' summer, at Picketsville. The morning of Priscilla'j, depart ure came too soon for both of the j girls. ^ ] Betty and Priseilla dressed in their bathinp suits, took an early morning swim, before breakf;ist. The Owens t)egf?ed Priseilla to come back and spend a week with them before they closed their cot- ! tage. j Soon Priseilla reached her home town where she was welcmed by her friends, there. Priseilla had learned cne thing while on her visit to Betty Owens in Saluda, "Money doesn't count with friends." The End.

Blackwood a meeting of farmers 'and others as_ semblcd at the court house Saturday to discuss the cotton situation with 'refei-en.ee to a special sesskp of the ; legislature. About 160 were present, ^ne hundved and seven of them farm ers. Representative J. Team Gettyi presided. There was a good deal of! discussion, the main speakers being, former Gov Richards, who opposed a11 extra session of the legislature, and I former Senator L O Funderburk who favored it. Representative Gettys J did not favor the special session, : i while Representative Belk was neu_ tral, being willing to be governed by J what the farmers wished if any go# ; % | could be accomplished by a special session. A v te was taken and j ninety-three farmers voted in favor ' of calling a special session while only fourteen voted against it. Only 107 farmers is a small per cent, of the farmers of the county, but those at_ 1 tending the meGtinp showo 1 that ' theyi were in a large majority for this extra session. We interpret the : vote as meaning that they are willi;. to make an eXfori to do something that might possibly improve the pri:c of cotton, a kind f lcai> in the dark. The Louisiana legislature voted so'.id. ly for Gov. Long's plan to ban the planting of cotton in 1932, bill oven with this we believe thi* scheme w.'.l not be successful, while we shall be glad if the experiment is tried for it ? to prove beneficial.

Mark 1:13 The Bible describes several typi- ?.* cal appearances of Satan. The first" 'was when he entered the garden of Eden and aecustd God of hypocrisy)'." and deceit. His purpose was to do- * 3troy ihe faith of men in Goi. ? gain the mastery. ^ The second typical appearance of Satan is recorded in the first ?hs'.) ter of Jab, and reveals him as sland ering man. His purpose there was to break up friendship, and to destroy the faith of God in man. The terriptation of Jesus i ^ the wil derness is Satan's third typieal im pingment up:n human affairs. There he was trying to frustrate the hopes of a flood man, and to destroy him, ant! his faith in hhnseh nd . his mission, at the beginning of hin career. The fourth manifestation of Satan s ~ activity was in his entrance inlo those devil possessed, so often me* in ihe Gospel narratives. Hir our p_se there was to destroy hip; ine s and health, and to render miserab'a and hopeless all over whom he c.?ul 1 gaiin the mastery. These f ur instants of Satan's activity well illustrate and typify his eternal character and purposes. There is nothing g od or beantiful or gracious about him. He is heart less and hard and malicious. The* tears of men sparkle as pearls, in his eyes. Their sighs of anguish are a song in his eirs. As sweet perfume are the laments of the despairing and h jpeleas. He rejoices in their pain, laughs at their sorrows, and wilh fierce pleasure iprods them into new misery. This Satan is called by St. John, the Prince, and by St. Paul, the <7>d, of this world, and it seems to be a grim fact. Far, far too many exhibit his spirit rather than the gracious spirit of Christ. Far too many e"e his actions, follow his devious trails, and show by word and life a loyalty to him exceeding their loyalty to tho God of Heaven. Great is the mystery how a choi;e can be made.
