JOHN'S METHODIST CHURCH ON LARGE SCALE The Rev, Baxter McLendon Will Conduct Services-Will Bring Huge Tent. Tho first announcement in regard to tho great ru\$vul that ls being planned for the near future by the of ficers of the St. John's Methodist church of this city, said thut the meet ing will bc carried out on the biggest scale that havo ever been urrangcd In Anderson and that lt will last one month. Rev. Bexter McLendon has boen secured and he will come to An derson and bring his huge tent, which has a seating capacity of "2.Out). Tho following letter from the St. George Methodist church of Bennetts vllle was received: Three weeks ago Rev. Baxter Me i.eildon, of Beiinet^viMr?, came- at our invitation to St. George to conduct a series of revival services under the auspices of tho Methodist church. Thc services were held under a spacious tent owned by brother McLendon. This tent had a rapacity for seating 2,000 persons and to the surprise and gratification to overflowing with anx ious worshippers. St. George had for years been in a low spiritual condi tion and there was a swiftly flowing tide antagonistic to genuine religion. From the ftrst service o ftho meeting the evangellsts'e work began to count and there were foregleams of a bright er day for our own. Crowds Hocked to the services, tho church was thrilled with a new life, possibly six teen hundred surrendered to Christ and one hundred and forty-two joined the different churches of the town and community. There ls no doubt that God usos this concencrated man in a marvelous way. Prominently in all that he does is the tact that B. F. McLendon is an notated of God for tho work of an evangelist. He has too, the courage of hts convictions, hurling at sin the denunciation of the Almighty In ex plicit terms and with high courage and a mighty persistence. While Brother McLendon does not claim to be. In the strict sense of th" word, an educated man, and though now and then he does violence to the English grammar, still, in the main his English ls good, and at timos ho speaks it with a purity and an elo quence that would do credit to a college bred man. You ask, "Docs he use vulgarity in his preaching? So He ls as free from that as any evange list I ever heard. He speaks plainly, but there id no taint of vulgarity on his words. If you need a man who will lift your community upon a higher plane of spirituality, by all means get Bax ter F. McLendon. He leaves me with my lo vb and confidence. W. E.

Uood Advice Almut Investments. Herbert Quick, editor of. Farm and Fireside, the national farm paper published at Springfield, 'Ohio, pub lishes some good advjca .abp.ut in vestments in the current Issue of that publication. Following ls part of what Mr. Quick has' to say: "The safest protection against losses from bad investments lies in keeping in mind the fact timi, there nre two elements In every investment -interest and safety. Where the in vestment ls perfectly safe the inter est is low; that is, nothing is re ceived by the investor except purk in tc rest. "Whore thc returns promised are high they consist in two things pure Interest and compensation for risk. "The risks may be of many kinds; among them arc possible lose of prin cipal, possible delay in collection of principal or interest, possible failure of the business to livo and pay pro fits. "Securities bought and sold regu larly on tho money marketa of the world bear prices which buyers think are fair when these things are con sidered. " 'Schemes* are of a different .sort. They have no price fixed in the mar ket, and therefore tho investor has no benefit derived fromjathe buying and selling in tho world's markets. "When he buys a government .bond, a railway bond, a municipal bond, or a public-utility bond, the market price is the judgment of the Investors of tho world as to its value. This judgment of experts, backed by thc experts' money, 1B worth a great deal to the Investor. "But the 'scheme' contract or bond which offers big profits quickly made has no price fixed by anion's judgment. The buyer's, judgment ' ls very often overcome by the ealjjk man's talk. m?. "The man who feels lncllnedj^to part with his money on sun a schemo ought to part with his money I scheme ought to remember-that re turns above average interest repr? sent risk. If the returns promised run up Into snch figures as 10, 20, 40, 80, or 100 rter cent, he should not forget that the risk is very great, or tho contract? would be bought up by moneyed men capable of seeing farth er Into the deal than any ot us can see." Mules Are Always ls Demand. In the current Issue of Farm and Fireside, the national foi m paper published at Springfield, Ohio, Judge W. R. Schooler, a successful stock breeder and feeder in Southwestern Missouri, writes an interesting arti cle about tile mule. He shows the real value of mules and the money that there ls ito he made in them. Judge Schooler has a thousand acre farm and Is an expert on the breed ing and care of mules. The following brief extract taken from bis article shows the value of mules: "A good mule hould weight from 1.200 to 1,400 pounds, and mules of this class will bring from 1400 to $600 a span. A great many of these ara sold east along the Mississippi river, while the smaller on ea weighing around 1.000 pounds are shipped South to be worked in the cotton fields. One thing tn the mules favor ls. that he will always bring ?uai he is v"th. He ia like a hos In that respect: there is always a market waiting for him." ' RAISED FOR FIREMEN FUND OF $100 GIVEN IN AP PRECIATION OF GOOD WORK TUESDAY BANQUET OR PURSE Boys Will bc Given Either a Spread or the Money Divid ed Among Them. Over $100 In cash was raised by ic"pular subscription by a special committee consisting of Messrs. i Charis Spearman, Ollie Burriss and Porter A.

Tlie purpose of raising this money is for either a banquet to be given the Vrenient, or for a purse to be distri buted among them. This Idea originated Wednesday morning wheu several business men of the city came into thc rooms of tho chamber of commerce and offer ed a contribution of money for a banquet to be given the local fire department and the call men-.
