IN MEMORIAM. '.With folded hands and arms at rest, "The Southern Cross above his breast" was James Robinson Sterling laid to sleep in Concord Presbyterian Cem ,etary April 28, beneath a covering of beautiful spring flowers, in the presence of a large number of rela tives, friends and former pupils. For some time he had been in declining health, but seemed as well as usual on the morning of the 27th. When called to dinner he was not in his accustomed chair on the porch neith er in his room, when search was be gun, he was found lying dead at the foot of the steps where he had b-en seen sitting a short while before. Though the De,ath Angel cam: smL denly and unexpectedly we feel s' that he was p-)epared to go. He had expressed the wish to die sud:en l:: and be spared pr2longed sulerb1 and God granted his desire. Had he lIved until May 7th, he would have been 79 years of age. Over forty of these years had bee: spent in teaching the youth of the land. MIany who read these lines all over the State will say, "I went to school to him". "I never began to to learn until he taught me how." With a splendid knowledge of Greek, Latin and mathematics he was a teacher of the old type. Educated at the South Caolina College, he de termined to be a doctor, but his health failed and he had to come home the first year at Charleston. The war between the states soon began and he volunteered for service in the Little River Guards Api:l 11th, . 861, under Captain .Mizhael Brice, later transferred to the cavalry, 4th Regiment, CompaDrny V"'" under Capt. A. Barber. Here he served faith-ful ly until the surrender, then he re turned to help build up the broken fortunes of home and State. Being of a modest, retiring nature, he never married. Since quitting thc teaching pr.:fession he made his home with his niece, Ars. W. 1. Harvey. near Woodward, whom he and his mother reared and who was to him a loving and beloved daughter. ATTENDANCE CONTEST. The f-orty-six counties in South Carolina are in an "Attendance Con test" for the approaching State Sun dzy School Convention at Winthrcp College, Rock Hill, June 8- 9-10, and the President of each County Sunday School Association has been appoint ed as the Director of the Attendance Contest campaign in that county, as sisted by the County Secretary and the District presidents, of whom there are 219 in the State. The contest is on a proportionate - basis, it is said, the number of reg * istered delegates from each county being multiplied by the railroad dis-. tance of the county seat from the Convention, so as to make it fair for all counties, both those near-by and those at a distance. There are no restrictions as to attendance. The convention. .it is said, is a popular meeting and not a strictly delegated body. Consequently, everyone who wishes to do so is invited to attend. All who attend and register are ac cepted as delegates; only those who do register count in attendance con test. A beautiful banner will be pub.. licly presented to the county having the largest registered attendance in portion to the distance traveled. The Committee appointed to have charge of working up the attendance from Fairfield County is as follows: Rev. G. C. Gibson, Winnsbor; Miss Nan Neil, Winnsboro; J. B. Fra.. zer, Blairs; B. H. Yarborough, Jen kinsvile; J. E. Bruce, Winnsboro; A. T. Moore, Ridgeway. OPEN LETTER To the Ministers of the Gospel of All Denominations in Fairfield County. Dear Brethren: Recognizing the pastor's rightful place of leadership and Tesponsibili.. * ty for the religious education and evangelization of our childhood and youth, 'he South Carolina Suniday School Association especially i'nvites you to attend and take part in the ap proaching State Sunday School Asso ciaton Convention, Winthrop College, Rock Hill, June 8-9-10. The success of the Sunday School work in the church, in the community and in our State, depends upon our pastors. We have therefore tried to prepare such a program for this con vention as will be of interest to the pastors and of help to the superin tendents and teachers, as they co operate with their pastors in the work of the Sunday School. We trust you will do three things: (1) Come to the Convention your-. self. (2) See that it is announced at vices for at least two or three Su - days. ("I Pray for God's guidance and blessing upon the Con vention ses sions-that the superintendents and teachers attending may be giv-m a new vision of their task, practical hell) in its accomplishment, and a deep. er consecration to the service of 2ur Lord and Master. Fraternally Yours, Robert S. Truesdale, Pastor Main street Methodist Church, Columbia. Wm. L. Ball, Pastor First Baptist Church, Spartanburg. A. D. P.

I have a never found anything that I 0 touches the spot, like Black Draught. I take it in broken doses after meals. For a long I - time I tried pills, which grip ed and didn't give the good Sresults.
