Business, Local and Religious Notes from That Prosperous Town. (Received too late for last week's issue). Avdrew8, June 27:?Messrs H S Parsons and C J Levy were appointed a committee to secure subscriptions for the Red Cross in Andrews during Red Cross week. They were very successful in their efforts, raising about $300 and creating an interest in the Red Cross work that ivill last throughout the war and perhaps survive it. A great deal of building is going an here at present. Mr J R Larrimore is erecting a large, handsome residence on the corner opposite the Methodist church. The Seaboard railway is rapidly enlarging its shops here. The new depot is very handsome and conveniently arranged.' The Palace Theater building is rising rapidly and when completed ivill be one of the handsomest buildings in town. Mr Melvin Hornick of Charleston spent several days in Andrews re:ently. A teacher-training class of twenty-two members has been organized n the Methodist Sunday-school to provide the school with trained and efficient teachers. The officers are: President,)Mrs John Heinemann; vice president, Mrs E T Gibson; secretary, A M Flowers; teachers, Rev Geo A Teasley, Mrs E C Dibble and Miss Sarah Bailey. The class has had two yery enthusiastic meetings and promises much for the good of the school. Rev G C Gardner, pastor of Sampit charge, and son,Theodore, visited Rev George A Teasley, of this place, ruesday. A Booster club has been organized here with a large and very enthusiastic membership. One of the things planned for the near future is an automobile tour of the country surrounding Andrews. Thirty-five cars have been pledged for the trip, and perhaps as many as 15Q men will be in the party. The Andrews Horse company has been commissioned with a proposed capital of $10,000.

This meet- [ ing will be one of great value to 1 every one who attends. The meeting will be conducted by 1 Rev J Ernest Thacker, the assembly's foremost evangelist. He is 1 widely known in the North as well 1 as the South. Rev J Wilbur Chap- ' man,one of the best known evangelists in the world, says of him, "You are to be congratulated on having Dr Thaceer as an evangelist. He is simply great. I do not know a man 1 in the church today in whom I have 1 more confidence." Mr James W Jelks of Macon, Ga, 1 known as the "Sunshine" * singer, 1 will lead the singing. He is a fine J soloist as well as choir leader. He ( hopes to have a large choir of Bishopville singers to aid him in this part ' of the work.

Washington, July 2:?A protest was entered with the controller of the treasury today by Congressman Richard S Whaley of Charleston against the controller's decision that there are 360 working days in a year instead of 313. The effect of this decision is very serious upon the wages , ofj>er diem of government employes 't Mis you come -4 ^ til at our s Ms, SI i we will c e Just a /\ 11^ & eavy uveraus, i out to you at $ len's Khaki Wc ; Shirts 50c to 1 Mexican Panam: i't Mi who have received from $3.33 to $5.76 per day.

I It has been my pleasure to be inti- 1 mately associated in office work dur- j ing the past four years with Mr R F U/\,n]a nrKn fnr ta;plup vpnrs has been ( LAV/ TV IV | TT IIV AVI V f> V* w , ? >. ? ? Jounty Treasurer. I therefore feel that I can speak with som? degree of authority regarding his work as a :ounty officer. During his entire time Mr Howie has pushed his work; he never allowed his work to push him, I have [.ever seen a man'more constant or more untiring in his official duties. Every phase of his office work has teen kept up to date as far as it has been possible to be done. In his bookkeeping I have found him very accurate as a result of his tireless and painstaking efforts. Of :ourse, it is impossible for any man to avoid errors sometimes, but Mr Howie's errors have not been due to lack of hard and conscientious work and I believe he has made as few as ] any other man in his position would ] have made, considering the tremendous amount of work that devolved ] upon him.?D L Lewis in Darling. , (on News and Press. ] i Mr Howie is the father of Mrs W j D Harrington, and has many friends here. j Rev L 0 McCutchen preached in 1 the Methodist church Sunday by spe- < cial invitation of the pastor, Rev G P Watson, who was sick. Mr McCut- ? chen said he esteemed it a great privilege as well as pleasure to speak to so many of his former acquaint- i ances. He certainly had an appreci- ! ative congregation, which heard a j splendid gospel sermon.?|Bishop. ] ville Leader and Vindicator. \ m. m? ij i ^
