Alert business men are sitting up and taking notice these times. Business, not spite, is their motto. .The man who pays for his paper, reads it. Shrewd adver tisers call for a "paid-up" list these days. We've got it. Our subscription list is a large one, a paid-up one, and covers the county like the dew. Ad vertisers take notice. A word to the wise is sufficient. Some of the Pickens mer chants go a long ways around to inform us that trade never has been so good. We were under the impression that with the panic, low price of cotton, public works on short time and the busy season with the farm ers, that trade was a little quiet.

Johnston offered the fol [owing resolution, which, After liscussion, was tabled: Whereas, on the 1st day of April, 1908, over 300 students of Olemson College broke the rules of the college and absented themselves from .the campus during the day, in violation of the rules of the college; and in so doing we realize that they did wrong in rebelling against constituted authority. As we realize that discipline is essen tial in all of our public schools and colleges and would not place ourselves on record as condoning what is known as the college spirit, or a spirit of insubordina tion; And whereas, we believe that a great many widowed mothers and sisters have made great sac rifices in order to get the means bo send their sons and brothers to Clemson, the poor man's col ege, to have them educated, and to have their fondest hopes blighted, their hearts crushed with grief and their sons and brothers disgraced by expulsion for this little innocent escapade; And whereas, we think the punishment was out of all pro portion to the offence commit bed, in view of the lax and loose-twisted discipline that had been maintained at this college prior to this, as offences of a much more serious and aggra vated nature had not only beeni condoned andl winked at, but actually apologized for; theres fore. be it Resolved,-by this convention: That the authorities at Clemson be requested to reinistate those expelledistudents in September; and in. the event they fail to do so, that steps be taken by the State to withhold its. ap~propria tions from the college. . The resolution below was sent up by the Easley Club, and, after discussion, was tabled: That the chairman of the Democratic convention of Pick kens county bd required to pub lish in the newspapers of the county immediately after the close of the second primary elec tion a sworn itemized staLtement of all money receiv ed by him, by whom paid in, to whom paid out and~ for what purposp. On motion, itwas. decd tc establish, a votipg fgrcinct a1 the Cent ral Ootton Mill. The ieni~est for"Ev',,r mng church was referred to the ex ecutive committee with pow( r to act. The business being finished, the convention adjourned. A Great MeqtIng. One of the most far-reaching, uplifting and soul saving meet ings in this town for many years past, if not in all its history, clos ed at the Baptist Church last Sunday night. The meeting be gan in the Methodist Church, be 1.ig conducted by the pastor, Rev. N. G. Ballengei, assisted by Rev. P. F. Crawford pastor of the Bap tist Church, -and lasted nearly two weeks, closing Friday night before the last fourth Sunday. On the fourth -Sunday the mr eeting was continued at the Baptist Church pastor Crawfod in charge assisted by the pastor of the Methodist Church and Rev D. W. Hiottof Easley.. The in terest and power increased with every service. The attendance steadily grew and at the last ser vice Sunday night the Baptist Church would not hold the peo pie. At every service numbers of people inquired the way of life, asked for prayer, and when opportunity was given would connect themselves with the church. Many strongholds of Satan were wrecked and the powers of darkness overthrown. As a result of the meeting more than sixty professed Christ, six or eight uniting with the Pres byterian Church, and nineteen with the Methodist Church, and thirty four with the Baptist Church. Those who joined thc Methodist Church will be receiv. ed next Sunday, and those whc joined the Baptist Church wil be baptised the fourth Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the poo below the jail. There was no excitement, n1( strenuous efforts and no undu, influence in the meeting, but i was evident to those attendini that the Spirit of God was pres ent at every service in great pow er doing his work in the hearts o the people. At the last servic< Sunday night great interest waE manifested, and many were ask ing for prayer. To show their appreciatson ol the services of the pastors of the Methodist and Baptist churches in this meeting an offering was made Sunday night to them of $35.00 or more.
