DR. SAMUEL H. TINDALL Former Trustee (Now Dead.) Revival Services. [Southern Christian Advocate.] Dear Brother Nettles: We have .greatly enjoyed a series of protracted meetings on our charge. At Blackville, beginning on the night of the fourth Sunday in September, and ending on the night of the first Sunday in October, the pasfor preached six times, Brother R. A. Tongue also preached six sermons, Rev. McLees, of the Presbyterian Church, preached one sermon, and my old friend, Dr. J. D. Pitts, paster of the Baptist Church, with a goodly number of his people, were present helping in song and prayer. We had no large increase in members, but a good meeting?a toning up of the spiritual life of the com HHB' Bfl By ELIJAH B. GUESS Former Trustee munity. The preaching of Brother Tongue was in great power. It made a pr found impression on the community. It there is a man in our Church, who ought to be cut loose from all other work and put in the evangelistic work. Bob Yongue is that man. At this meeting the attention was good and the singing was Inspiring. At Bethel Park, in Denmark, we have had a most gracious meeting, beginning the night of the first Sunday, in October, and ending the second Sunday in October. The pastor preached twice and Brother Harry Danner preached ten times?good congregations and good results attended the services. Quite a number joined the Church and the Church ' - * \ : 1 ^^hHb .jaf , flffrflAilu HBkh f* sr. v. Bl '' // C. S. FOLK Trustee. was greatly quickened. Brother Danner is a most efficient helper in revival meetings. He is quite young, yet preaches with ability and acceptability. He has a powerful command of language, his memory is remarkable, and above all he lives close to God. He has two more years in col lege. With faitnfumess ana continued humility and studiousness God will make him a chosen messenger to many. I wish we had more results of this meeting, but rejoice in what God has done for us, and look for still greater things. J. B. TRAYWICK. Denmark, S. C., October 13, 1908.

Smith, the Dartmouth athlete, of Boston, on Sunday, "and I am suing her for $20,00u. She evidently wants a man who can spend a fortune buying her diamonds and automobiles. Miss Knapp has plenty of wealthy relatives in New York, Boston and Baltimore and I will make it interesting 'or them all when my case comes for trial. They made a great fuss over me when they thought I had plenty of money, but when they discovered that I must work for my living and had only brains and physique they dropped me in a jiffy." Apparently not the least bit worried because she has been made the defendant in a breach of promise suit brought by the former track J. J. FOGLE Trustee. captain at Dartmouth and holder of many athletic records, Miss Orithia Wales Knapp was riding about Newburyport on Sunday in company with James J. Healy, her almost constant companion nowadays, a graduate of Yale Law school of the class of 1908. Neither will deny the rumor they are to wed. Miss Knapp is very handsome, tall, with blue eyes, brown-haired and vivacious. Her father, James O. Knapp, is wealthy. He is a retired sea captain and made his fortune in the eastern trade. He has retained counsel to fight the su't brougnt Dy smitn against his daughter. In Dartmouth Smith several times did 100 yards in 10 1-5 and five years ago represented the Boston Athletic association in a relay race against the New York Athletic club. For J. WESLEY CHUM Former Trustee. some time after leaving school he and Miss Knapp. were inseparable. He graduated from Dartmouth in 1905 and was then captain of the track team and athletic leader in the college. <il Jfmm Progress of Prohibition. Denver, Colo., Oct. 21.?Milwaukee representatives began work to-day among the arriving delegates to the 35th annual convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union to have that city chosen as convention city for next year. More than 200 delegates and several hundred other members of the organization have already arrived to attend the convention which will open Friday. v.; ^ REV. T. U. COX Local Preacher "I predict that in 10 years the '.prohibition movement will cover the entire nation," said Mrs. Stevens of Portland, Me., president of the union, to-day. "It is not a spasmodic effort but a substantial and healthy gain which can not be checked by any amount of opposition. We now have nine States?Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas, Maine, North Carolina, North Dakota and Oklahoma? which have gone for prohibition, and others are on the road." Senator B. R. Tillman is the largest contributor to the national Democratic campaign fund from South Carolina. He gave the handsome sum of $200. \ HENRY C. RICE Former School Trustee. j Jack London in the South Seas. ; The little Snark, in which Jack ! London is going around the world : for the Woman's Home Companion, ' is seeing some strange sights. Not | the least of these is the hideous elephantiasis or' the South Sea Island. "We sat on the cool porch, on Bihaura's best mats, while dinner was preparing, and at the same time met the villagers. In twos and threes and groups they strayed along. Here i would be a comely woman of magnificent proportions, with the port of a queen, yet marred by one arm four times?or a dozens times?the size of the other. Beside her might stand a six-foot man, erect, mighty muscled, bronzed, with the body of a god, yet with feet -and calves so swollen that they ran together, forming legs, shapeless, monstrous, that were for !AI M J S. D. GUESS i Steward. all the world like elephant legs. "No one seems really to know the ; cause of the South Sea elephantiasis. One theory is that it is caused, by the drinking of polluted water. Another theory attributes it to inoculation through mosquito bites. A third theory charges it to predisposition : plus the process of acclimatization. On the other hand, no one that stands I in finicky dread of it and similar dis! eases can afford to travel in the j ! South Seas. There will be occasions i when such a one mu,st drink water, j There may also be occasions when the | mosquitos let up biting. But every I precaution of the finicky one will be i useless. If he runs barefoot across [ the beach to take a swim he will tread where an elephantiasis case ! trod a few minutes before. If he I closets himself in his own house, yet j every bit of fresh food on his table i j^SBBZl. ^ :\^r^ E. A.

Ub Papeiti two known lepers run stalls, and heaven alone knows through what channels arrive at that market the daily supplies of fish, fruit, meat and vegetables. The only happy way to go through the South Seas is with a careless poise, without apprehension, and with a placid, childlike faith in the resplendent fortune of your own particular star. When you see a woman afflicted with elephantiasis wringing out cream from cocoanut meat with her naked hands, drink and reflect how good is the cream, forgetting the hands that pressed it out. Also, remember that diseases such as elephantiasis and leprosy do not seem to be caught by contact." There are several candidates for superintendent of education in Lexington county, among the number being Rev. E. L. Lybrand, of New Brookland, a prominent Lutheran minister. jfW. P.
