"The reports from different sections of the state," said Secretary Hamby "are very encouraging and indicate a large and enthusiastic meeting. Sumter will send 60 delegates and a brass band composed of 15 men. Florence will send about 50 delegates; the Florence and Sumter delegates coming over in a special train. Ker shaw will send 11 or more delegates; Branchville 10 or more; Greenwood 40 or mere; Camden 6 to 10; Cheraw a large delegation! Charleston 25 or more; Orangeburg between 25 and ei\. Dnanfnpf nno- Simrtanhure two: Greenville one; Clinton two; Union nine or more; Chester five; 3elton one, and it is excepted that a great many more will be reported before the meeting. It appears from the above figures that we will have between 250 and 300 delegates in attendance. "This shows a spirit of awakening all over the state for state good and it is believed that the movement will be given a great impetus by the en thusiasm that will be manifested at the organization. "Much credit is due Sumter for the interest that she has taken in this or ganization and the number of dele gates that Bhe will send. Their sixty delegates with the brass band of 15 men w,ill leave the union station in Columbia on a special street car im mediately after arrival and will parade Main street on foot, starting ai me capitol. Two Companies May Be Disbanded. Through failure to join the 3rd regi ment on the encampment the Winns boro and Georgetown companies of the National Guard may be in danger of being disbanded, under the Federal requirements. That these companies will not be able to join the 3rd regi ment in its departure for the ten-day encampment at Annlston, was the in formation received in Charleston from unofficial though trutsworthy sources. Should a company fail to go on the I encampment, without express instruc tions from the governor of the state, excusing it from this duty, it may have to be disbanded. Supervisor For Colleton Schools. The county board of education met for the purpose of appointing trustees for the various school districts in Col leton county.

New.s was received at Sumter of the I killing by lightning of one negro con vict "and the rendering unconscious of five more at the state farm at Ha good during a thunder storm.

At first it was thought that all of the men were killed, but five of them re gained consciousness after several hours. | Rural Mail Carriers' Association.

Muller, county su pervisor is calling for bids to main tain by the split-log drag method sec tions of roads in Richland county dur ing the coming fall, winter and spring or from October to May. The idea is to give each bidder a section of road, adjoining or through his property, the sections being from one to five miles in length. With each section will go from one to three split-log drags, depending on the length of the section, and also the necessary nana iouis. duu ful bidder will enter into a contract with the county to maintain his sec tion from October to May for a speci fic price for each mile, and he will be furnished full instructions as to how it is best for him to keep his section in perfect condition, and all through the winter M. Goode Homes of department of civil engineering of the University of South Carolina will visit these sections and give instruc tions as to the best methods. On May 1 it Is contemplated to award to the man having the best section of road way a substantial money prize. Each section of road will need to be dragged an average of eight times during this period, and the holes filled up and the ditches kept open. This simple way of maintaining the roads, and intelligently and faithfully ap plied, will keep such sections of road in narfort rondition. The men who take these contracts, in addition to being paid for each mile maintained, will be doing that which is of far more importance to themselves; that is, keeping their own roads in good con dition. There is only one way to make this method a success, and that is for every one to turn out and take part in this most important ,duty. White Slave Traffic in Charleston. Some time will probably elapse be fore it is known just what prosecu tions, if any, will result from the in PRtiffations conducted by the Federal department of justice into the white slave traffic in Charleston. Agent En glesby, of the department of justice, has made a very thorough survey of conditions here and has secured very complete data. Just what he has un earthed, or whether he has discover ed conditions which would show that the white slave act has been and is being violated in Charleston is not known. Nor is it known as yet whether or not his investigations have been such as to render probable the prosecution of any persons in Char leston, though, if unofficial reports are to be believed, it is thought prose cutions will follow. ; South Carolina New Enterprises. The following Is a record of latest enterprises in the office of the secre tary of state: A charter was issued to the Lion Real Estate Investment Company of Columbia,, to do a general real estate business, handle stocks, bonds, etc., with a capital'of $5,000, the officers being Bruce W.

G. Shipp has filed a de cree in the case against Harry Mcin tosh and John Williams for the mur der of little Andrew Jackson, refusing to grant a new trial on motion of the attorneys for the defense. Their grounds were largely on questions of fact, and one question of law, the ad mission of the testimony of Sheriff Burch, who read before the court and jury a paper that he said he had read hofnro the nrisnnera which was a signed statement of the crime by Freddie Mcintosh. On this evidence, chiefly, the case was made out against the defendants. The ,defense object ed that it was contradictnig the testi mony of one of the state's own wit nesses. Large Rewards For Vaughan. Rewards now aggregating $1,050 are now offered for the arrest of T. U. Vaughan, who escaped from the Greenville county jail several days ago-by sawing out of his cell.. So far as can be learned from the officials not a trace of Vaughan has been found since he scaled the jail walls over a week ago. There are many j people nere wno Deneve vaugiuiu is in the mountains near Tigersville, his old home, and it may be that the of ficers are making an effort to locate him in that quarter. What South Carolina's Vote Did. That the unswerving loyalty of the,! South Carolina delegation to Woodrow I Wilson was a factor of the utmost importance in winning the presiden tial nomination for the New Jersey governor was the view expressed by Senator Niels Christensen, of Beau fort, who passed through Charleston on his way home from the convention at Baltimore, which he attended as a delegate. Senator Christensen is sup ported in this view by the statement of one of Wilson's managers at the j convention. York County's Poultry Show. At a largely attended meeting of the board of directors of the chamber of commerce of Rock Hill a committee was appointed to organize and incor porate the York County Poultry and Fair Association and to take steps towards securing a site and erecting buildings in time to hold the initial fair this fall. For some time there has been considerable talk in favor of the proposition. A number of farmers have expressed their willingness to rake stock in the association and lend every effort in making it a success.

Speech.?Latter Attacks Mayor of Charleston. Charleston.?"I want to put a propo sition to you, and you answer it at the August primaries. Whatever you do, I will be governor anyway for September, October, November and December and 21 days in January.

He said further, with reference to charges voiced by the mayor, that graft collected in Charleston had been traced to the of fice of the governor. "No gentleman would insinuate that I had ever re ceived any graft and any man who says I did is a malicious character thief and a cowardly iiar." The gov ernor also declared his intention of standing by Benjamin H.

Mebnational SUNMSOIOOL Lesson (By E. O. SELLERS, Director of Eve ning Department, The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR JULY 21 THE GROWTH OF THE KINGDOM. . LESSON TEXT?Mark 4:26-31, Matt 13: 33. GOLDEN TEXT?"Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, as In heaven so on earth."?Matt 6:10. Last week we observed the fact that the eenesia of this new kinedom Jesus came to establish was to be the life, his life, when was as seed. The reception of the seed in various sorts of soil, however, made a vast dif ference aa to the ultimate outcome. Today we ma/ observe from these words of the Master what are to be the. processes of the establishing of the kingdom, for we do not read into this parable a record of the final con sumation, but rather that these para bles reveal different aspects of the 3ame general process. While it is true that this first para ble is only recorded by St. Mark it is in reality a complement of these para bles about the kingdom found in the thirteenth of Matthew and elsewhere. We have already noted that the seed is the word, Luke 8-11, and that the soil is the hearts of men, but here Jesui tells us that In the spiritual as in the material universe man "knoweth not how" the life principle propogates itself. It Is a helpful thought to every Christian worker that h& Is not to be held accountable for that part of the process; his part is to be that of the man who shall cast the seed Into the ground. Not upon, but "Into." (v. 26). Having thus planted the seed let him 'sleep and rise again" e. g., let him trust a wise God to see to It that the seed germinate and bring forth. All of your worrying and mine cannot hasten the process nor change the result once the 6eed is sown, so let us be care ful to sow them right and as far as possible be sure we plant it in proper ly prepared soil rather than waste it among the thorns or where the birds of the air (Satan) mar soon snatch it away. Process Is Gradual. Again let us beware of presumptu ousness "he knoweth not how." Can you, my reader, define life? Can you explain the transmission, the develop ment, the propagation of life? We ac cept the results of these things in na ture without questioning, why stagger at similar things in the spiritual realm? Why question the reality ol the Christian life when we see all about us Its results? In verses 22 and 23 of this same chapter we are ad monished that if we have ears "let him hear" (a positive injunction) and almost the very next word tells us to "take heed what we hear." Going tfAMA 00 nf tViA loQcnn Ull UUVTU IV T Cl OQ Wi. I.UW *vwWvM we see clearly the reason for these words, for our lives will grow and will reproduce each after Its own kind. II we sow wheat we reap wheat If we allow tares to be sown In our lives we shall reap tares. The process Is a gradual one, but a sure one. "First the blade, then the ear, and then the full corn "In the ear." The harvest will not take place until the process be completed. It is not till the fruit is ripe that the hus bandman puts forth his sickle. We are not to bother ourselves bo much with tne process as we are to guaru the source. Sow good seed and God will see to It that It shall bring forth i Let us not expect the "full corn" ol i ripe experience from the "tendei i blade" of early Christian life. Let us 1 have patience till these young Chris tians have time to reach the full ma , turity of their powers. Jesus the bar vester of this parable knew when tc put in the sickle, viz., when the fruil 1? "ripe," (v. 29, R. V.) Whatever be the nature or charac ter of this harvest we are left to in fer, for Jesus gives anotner picture ol this same'mysterious yet irresistible process whereby this kingdom is tc grow. He compares it with a mus tard seed. The first was the interna! hidden part of the process. This is to draw our attention to the outward visible growth of the kingdom. Je sus was humble and lowly in his com ing and in his conduct here flpoc earth. | The Main Truth. Looking back over history his was indeed "less than all the seeds in the earth," yot he set into motion those ' principles and powers that have caused his kingdom to become great in the earth (Isa. 9:7.) Under the branches of this kingdom have lodged 1 the weary and the stricken ones. The birds of the air symbolize the gather i ] ing together of the nations of the I earth that they may take refuge un i der the shelter and shadcw of thd kingdom of God, see Ezek. 17, Daniel 4, etc. We must beware of fanciful , interpretations or applications. The main truth is that almost without ex i ception the beginnings of all great , movements in the kingdom of God have been like mustard seed, small but exceeding great in their growth. Witness such moral developments as the slavery question. Compare the present day temperance agitation with what it amounted to one hundred, yes, twenty-five years ago. The same can be said of countless other "move ments." ? - * * * * * V, For tne tnira paratue tiiiit vj. wc leaven which a woman hid in the three measures of meal we need to re fer to Paul's inspired words as record ed in 1 Cor. 5:5-7 and Gal. 5:8-9. Here Paul explicitly tells us that leaven is a type of sin. That we who are in Christ are a new lump, unleavened. That the old leaven is that of malice and wickedness, but that we who have put away leaven are the bread of sin cerity and truth. What do we there fore infer? Viz., that as growing up alongside the good seed shall also grow the tares with fruitage of deatb and decay. /- Ship Us 1 We pay the highest market valtu exchange value in woolen blank Send good size sample ai advise you the highest to Spray, Nor THE THREAD Ml SPRAY WOOLEN M . / ._ _. / Buy unlimited life scholarship now and sav Shorthand, Typewriting and English Course and Success.
