"Pull the t'oru."
When the editor approaches the
average citizen In his quest for news ! ]
he is Invariably told that the citizen
"doesn't know a thing," and that ,
answer is about as near the truth as
the nations of Europe are to effecting
a prompt settlement of their differences.
Everybody knows something,
and most people know a lot of somethings
that are worth telling and
would make breesy and newsy
stories, but they Just bottle It up In , .
the walls of their dome and forget
that it is there. .Sometimes the editor
is able to pry it loose word for
word until he gets the story, when it
would be the easiest and simplest
thing In the world to let It all out In
a rush. Pull the cork, brother, and
let out the contents of your tntel- (
lectual bottle and we will pass it on
to others who are thirsty for news.
You know a plenty, if you only Hnow
that you know It.?Greer Observer.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH PICNIC.
Children of Sunday School Enjoy
Movies and Refreshments.
Yesterday afternoon the Sunday
school of the First Baptist church
enjoyed a picnic on the spacious
lawn of the church. Assisted by the
ladies, the superintendent and his
tachers had made elaborate arrangements
to receive the children
and their parents. In the usual style
of the First church the children were
allowed to invite friends, and thus
the crowd which attended was made
up of other than Baptists.
Long before the hour appointed
the ladies had completed their arrangements.
and soon the children
began to arrive. It was a merry
crowd that gathered. No time was
wasted in preliminaries, and the
boys and girls were soon at play.
After thus enjoying themselves for
awhile, they were called to refresh
themselves with cake, ice cream and
lemonade. At the hour of half-past
six, the children were placed in line,
and, as they marched to the Star
Theatre, were each given a stick of
chewing gum. By previous arrangement
an excellent program had been
secured at the moving picture show,
and there the school was entertained
for quite a while. The genial management
of the theatre did everything
to make the coming of the
school a success, and it was greatly
enjoyed.
At the close of the show the chll
dren went again to me ia\vn 01 me
church, where more cream, cake and
lemonade were served, and where
they played for awhile before dispersing.
The event was a great success, and
one which will, no doubt, be made an
annual occasion.
