D., pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Greenville, delivered his tenth anni-r versary sermon on the second Sun-' day of September, 1912. When he took charge of the Church ten years ago, the membership consisted of about 300. At present, we are informed, that the number of communicants is about 900, being one of the largest and wealthiest Presbyterian Churches in the State. Mr. Sloan went to Green ville on a salary of $1,500 which has now been raised to $3,000. On the building itself some $20,000 has been spent in improvements. A grand pipe organ has been installed whose sweet notes and beautiful chimes delight members of the congregation and at trjK-t manv strangers to the services. The organist is our former fellow citizen, Prof. Jules G. Huguelet, who is very proud to have in his charge one of the finest organs in the United States, while he is probably the best raid organist in the State. By his ability and his Christian seal, as well as by the application of those practical methods which drew to him the combined efforts of the member ship of his congregation, Dr. Sloan and his people have accomplished a success which is little short of a mir acle. One of the strongest points in his preaching is his personal piety and evident reverence while in the pulpit. During his Anniversary ser mon, we are told, that he did not call the name of the Creator, but referred to Him reverentially by pronoun. H. W. ANNIVERSARY SERVICES Next Sunday, September 15, 1912, will be the second anniversary of the pastorate of Rev. Louis Bristow at the Baptist church. Special services will be held on this occasion, to which the public is invited. Mr. Bristow has, during his stay in Abbeville, taken an active part in everything making for the general welfare, and is generally beloved not alone by his immediate congregation, but by the good citizens of Abbeville regardless of denominational lines.

Charged With Cheating Men"?"If You Kno\ Say Chairman J< Columbia, S. C., Sept. 5.?Pointing out that the Democratic party in South Caro lina is sorely distressed, John Gary Evans, the chairman of the state executive com mi tteo, today issued a call to the Demo crats of the state asking that they con tribute to the fund to investigate the charges of fraud in connection with the reR'iit primary. tThe following is the call to the Demo crats of South Carolina: "The Democratic Darty in this state is sorely distressed. For the first time in our history white men are charged with cheating and defrauding white'men in our primary election. The elections in every county in the state are contested and your executive committee is in possession of sufficient evidence and charges to warrant it in making a thorough and complete in vestigation of those charges insofar as in Its power lies. The committee has no ma chinery for getting at the proof and must rely upon the good and true men of the state who believe in honest elections to as sist it in its efforts. If you know of fraud and irregularities tell it; if you hear of such tell it and th(p committee will sift it. We are determined that right shall prevail and we care not for the personal interest of any candidate or candidates but for the honor and life of the party and the 6alva-1 S ? vi ?. i | fli me ineaire | "Naughty Matjietta" plowed a fairly good-sized audience at the opera house Monday night. This is deservedly one of the most popular comic operas on the road arid the company is first class. Never has a prettier lot of chorus girls visited the city or rendered sweeter music. The songs were catch?, the costumes beautiful and the staging perfect. Miss Florence Webber as Marietta was the delight of the audience, and .John Cardo as Captain Dick, tenor, Edouard Beck the pirate, baritone, and Laura Baer, a Quadroon, contralto, all had exception ally line voices. The play was one of the most amusing ever seen here and withal one of the most delightful. "THE LADY OF THE LAKE." Those who missed seeing "The Lady of the Lake" at the opera house last night should not fail to take advantage of the opportunity again offered tonight of wit nessing thi6 lirst-ulass picture. "DADDY'S" K?MIMSC?>C?S ,lames H. Lewis, Youngest Old Actor Ou (lie Stage With "The Moose (Jin." To reverently recall men and wom en of fifty years ago whose names, in the days of old, were household words to the theatregoers of that period, are dissertations of daily occurrence to young Jim Lewis, one of the old guard, who is playing a juvenille part in "The Goose Girl," a dramatization of Harold MacGrath's novel, which will be the attraction at the Grand Opera House on Friday, September 20. They call Mr. Lewis young, even tho' he is past the 06ler age, he being now in his 76th year, but far from the Oslerized period. Mr. Lewis recalls ' many anecdotes of the great stage fa vorites of the past. Mr. Edwin Booth was a man of wonderful attainments to Mr. Lewis, although his absent mindedness caused him to do unheard of things. John T. Raymond was an ? other of Mr. Lewis' favorites, tho' unlike Mr. Booth, was not forgetful, but of a humorous mind. His associations in the past with ar - tists of the calibre of Barrett, Janaus chek, CouldocK, Aaeiaiae i\eiisuu, 3 Barry Sullivan, Mrs. Drew, Lotta and t many more, endears him to the young er aspirants for stage honor. Unlike the methods of today, an ac 1 tor of the past met and played with 1. all these artists in the period of one i. season. Only the "star" travelled then, - with no train of support or supernum o eraries; these he secured in each e town, he being supported by the local organization.

Thru all this, Mr. Lewis emerged with flying colors. "My experiences of those days are a source of pleasure and happiness," 6ays Mr. Lewis. "We worked hard, but we were paid by our associations with men of the high est type of manhood, and women whose every thought was for the bet terment of human kind." McNEILL~BAUGHMAN Pretty Wedding Solemnized at Troy. A pretty event of the season, was the marriage of Miss Bessie McNeill to Mr. James Bennet Baughman, of Troy, S. C.

The investigation committee in session Satur day found numbers of names on the poll ing lists twice and other names on the polling lists which were not on the dub rolls. ' Nearly every club roll and polling list they check brings to light irregularities numbering from 10 to 35. The committee is well under way nowjn the checking and should the number of Irregularities con- ' . ^ tinue to be as great, the number of illegal votes cost at the last primary will be sur prising. The committee is working hard on the lists and will have the work of the first checking completed in a few days. ' When that is completed, it will be necessary to go over the lists again and follow up the names which were connected with some ir regularity. This will require some time and it may be two weeks before the inves tigators will have their work fully com pleted. f While the members of the committee will give out nothing for publication, it was learned through good authority that some rather surprising developments had n. been brought to light in the session Satur day and some of them affect residents of the city. The aames could not be' learned but the necessary steps will be taken to apprehend these men. when ail the facts have been se- V v jured. The committee declares tbat ev--^ sry man who Is connected with illegality In the elections will be taken to the courts tor punishment, Irrespective of htB stand- - ng in his community. The sole object of the committee is to vindicate the prima ries and to bring to account all -who at-' ;empted to or did practice fraud. FIRST INTERURBAX CAR ROLLS INTO GREENWOOD.
