Yesterday a week afro, beginning at 10 a. m. in.Smyrna Church, a children's day service was held and as last Sunday had been set apart for such a celebration, the houis usually given to Sunday School and preaching services were both taken up in exercises suitable and appropriate, and were very interesting, and while the con gregation was an unusually large one, the house being full, the Presbyterian and baptist churches called in their services in order to be and were present and it can be "safely said that the crowd was so laige. and many girls and hoys being in it yet, even the little tots were on their good behavior.no fretting, no running about, but all from the youngest to the oldest seemed to tie impressed with importance of the work in hand, and by the most marked attention, directed to the constant ly hanging exercises for the especial benefit of the boys and girls, out of whom j are to be made our future men and wo ( men, and it is earnestly hoped that the young jieople of our land will be so trained ( that in after Jyears they, will make good men and good women, who are so badly , needed in church and state. ( Rev. J.;C. Chancellor, pastor of Smyrna, i aided by the good ladies who are experts ( in bringing about that "eternal fitness of i things," together with all of the scholars < who so admirably performed their respect ive parts, deserves much credit forgiving to all present an attractive impressive service which cannot soon be forgotten.

HONORED GUESTS. Come Irom the City of Colleges, High Kriucation and Good Morals. Mr. R. C. Brownlee, his son, Mr. Lau rence Brown lee. Mr. Grier Stevenson, and Mr. Erskine Agnew, all of Due West, were in Abbeville last Monday when all of our people, whose privilege it was to meet them, were glad to see on our streets some of the best men of the city of colleges. The young gentlemen are handsome specimens of true manhood. We have not begun to charge anything up to them on account of their not being married, but we will keep tab on them hereafter. Of Mr. Brownlee we have a little story which proves the erroneousness of the idea that poor boys, or young men if you bet ter like the latter classification, should not marry. When Mr. R. C. Brownlee started out in life he had not a dollar. But he had a bravo heart and steady hand. For two years he was salesman or bookkeeper in a store. At the end of that time he told his sweetheart that he had in this world's goods only the savings of some two years' work. Making an honest confession of lK>th his financial condition and the yearn ing of his heart, he submitted his fato to the best beloved girl on earth, and told her if she would take him in his poverty, that he was anxious to marry her. Knowing that loving hearts are more than coronets, and not being of a mercenary mind, she recognized in him the jewel of the true manhood that existed in an honest heart. Hia proposition was accepted. Miss Fan nie Bonner, youngest daughter of the late Rev. J. I. Bonner, D. D., and Robert C. Brownlee were married. A number of children have come to bless the poor boy una tne moneyless gin. Jrrospenty aiter ward eume to them., and we believe that Mr. Brownlee is today perhaps the richest man in Due West. In the fact, or in the history, of his great success, is fully set at naught any idea that poor young people should not marry. If the girl is jis ambiti ous as was Miss Bonner, and if the boy is made of the right sort of grit, as was Mr. Brownlee, the girl will do her full share in the work and her pleasure will be as great as his in the success that will come to them.

June 80,1912, was the 78th birth day of Major F. W. R. Nance, of Abbe ville, and as has been his custom for many years, lie had his children with him to enjoy his birthday dinner and to further cement the family ties. Major Nance lias for many years been a prominent lijjuro in the politics of Abbe ville County. Progressive, even in the inodernly specific meaning of that term, and outspoken always, lie has been found in the front rank of every political up heaval from the days of reconstruction through the days of Tillman and the alli ance and even to the present day. He is an outspoken supporter of Gov. Bleuse in hi?? present race for governor. Major Nance has filled important and honorable positions as a public servant. He served first as a county commissioner when the fiscal affairs of the county were administered by three commissioners. His work in this office was so satisfactory that he wa6 later easily promoted to the office of sheriff. His administration of public office, and especially of the sheriff's office, was characterized by fairness nnd prompt ness. If papers were put in his hands for service or other business to be transacted, lie rested not until the requirement was behind him. After eight years of faithful service, he did the unusual by voluntarily returning to private life. As a foov Maior Nance was reared in af fluance. His father numbered his acres by the thousands and his negroes by the hundreds. The Major had his own pri vate horses and buggy even as a mere col lege boy. Progressive in politics,, he was no less progressive In matrimony. He graduated from Erskino College. His graduating speech, which had been passed on by the professors, was on the subject, "Man was made to mourn." But this speech was never delivered. Just an hour before he went on the commencement platform he took unto himself a wife, a fact that was known to only a few of his intimate friends, and in contemplation of this act, ho had prepared another speech on, "The consistency of woman," which he delivered amid great applause, as the fact leaked out through the audienco that he had joined the benedicts. Major Nance enlisted in the Confederate covvino JnniPb' linfiillinn firrl S P InfuntTV. in 1801, and served through the war. The fortunes of war having been adversely set tled, he returned to his wife and two little children to take up a new problem of ex istence under changed conditions. For many years he hold his own, and when he was elected County Sheriff, ho had the good sense to save his money, and set aside a comfortable estate to support him in his declining years. The Major is faithful in his friendship, and has that jovial disposition that makes friends. Perhaps his unchanging genial ity, more than any other one thing, has held him up while traveling far along life's way. Wc are indebted to a friend for the fol lowing summary of events in the Major's life: Born in Newberry County, June 30,1834. His maternal grandfather was Cclonel .Tames Williams, who was killed in the bat tle of Kings Mountain. His paternal grandfather was Hon. Frederick Nance, eighth lieutenant governor of South Caro lina. His ancestors were of Scotch-Irish descent. They settled in Virginia and af terward moved to Newberry County along with the Chalmers family of this place and Newberry. Major Nance's father was also named Frederick and his mother was Mar garet Williams. His mother and father moved from Newberry to Laurens County when he was about two years old. He re ceived his primary education at Head Springs, Laurens County, in the pastorate t>?.. i 1? T> ui ivc^ . x/a>iu uuuuihi in biiv a. av. x.i Church, and under the dlrectioi of a Mr. Baxter. In 1850 he entered the freshman class in Erskine College, graduating therefrom four years afterward. One of his class mates was the father of Erskine's present able president, Dr. J. S. Moffatt. He mar ried Miss Janie M. Agnew just an hour be fore making his gradating speech, thus crowding into one short day two impor tant events of his life. Dr. Ebenezer PreGsly, President of the Seminary, married Miss Agnew's only sis ter. He selocted farming as his life work and moved to Mississippi. He was there when secession was being agitated In this State. He returned to Abbeville County in 1860 and entered the army, James' batal llon, 3rd S. C. infantry, 1861. He after ward served in the cavalry, Holcomb's le gion. After the war he engaged in farm ing and the mercantile business at Honea Path, later moving to Due West to educato his children. He was elected county com missioner in 1890, and 1892 was elected sheriff of Abbeville County, which position he held for eight years, declining re-elec tion. Major Nance lost his iirst wife in 1894. Their living children are Samuel F., Eliza beth, J. A. and Enoch W. Nance, all of this county. He is justly proud of his chil dren and their affection for him is very mot-borl He was married a second time to Miss Ella M. Huckabee of Lowndesville. The Major has documentary evidence to show that he was one of the first "farmers movement" men in Abbeville County, amongst them letters from Captain B. 11. Tillman looking to the organization of the farmers movement. He has a letter from J. R. Brown of Dallas, Texas, calling on him to organize the farmers alliance, which [organization, non-political as it was said to be, was thought by some to have had something to do with the strength and growth of the "farmers movement." The Major has had a life of ups and downs, but with common sense, good judgment and a kindly word here and there he lias provided against the rainy day, and now in the evening of life he is resting on his laurels.
