AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION ' WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1922 NEEDING PREACHING. Tuesday a resolution was passed i x by the South Carolina House of Rep- ; ^ reeentatives to take a day off at eight dollars per day and visit the Billy Sunday meeting in Spartan burg. Incidentally the members were ^ to hpy.q a free dinner at Spartanburg, j x k Nothing was.?aid about how much'f each .member ,(would throw in the^<3 collection. The resolution was intro- t duced, we presume, by- some member j f not used to big crowds except 'at e church, and when he got to Colum bia and saw the whole gang of legis lators it came into his/head that it was about time for preaching. ' Preachingtis a good thing, that is, srood oreachinff is. There are other kinds of preaching. Not having heard , Billy Sunday preach, and not ex pecting ever to hear any man preach , *who stands in a chair and preaches in his shirt sleeves, we do not know how to brand Billy's preaching. But we do know that the members of the House of Representatives were not sent, to Columbia to go to preaching, except on Sunday. On that day most of them either go home or already are at home: , If however the law-makers of the lower house find themselves unable to proceed without preaching, it seems to us that they should have the preachers come to them. We have some pretty fair preachers in Al^e ville, anyone of whom, on proper in vitation, we feel sure would be glad to go to Columbia and preach to the members any work dfcy. These preachers whom we have in mind have regular congregations to serve and if called on Sunday might not be able to go, but Rev. Busshardt, who has no reeular church in the _ - ? - - u city, but who goes to Georgia every ^ Sunday and preaches to tl\e heathen Q over there, could do the same for the ? F n Solons in Columbia any day in the week or any Sunday. If the members ^ are Btill need preaching, let them^ make their wants known. ' iJi OUR FARMERS PROGRESSIVE ,T C At a meeting of representative farmers held in the court house today the matter of a county agent for'thfr county was discussed. After the mat ter had been discussed. by several present, a motion was made to ask the representatives of the county in the General Assembly to make an appropriation of $1250 for the pur pose of securing a good . man. The motion was carried by a vote of 26 to 2. We believe that the vote fairly represents the wishes of the. farmejrg Abbeville County on this subject. iiicic wm oe xouna nere ana mere a farmer, and a good farmer too, who does not wish a county agent.in the county. These farmers on account of the fact that th^y are themselves progressive do ^not^ feel the need of assistance in matters relating to their farms, but the average farmer, especially at this time, does feel that he needs assistance. There are others who have never.availed 'themselves of the services of a good agent and therefore do not know just what ad vantages are to be gained by em ploying one. But on the whole we believe that it may be safely said that nine-tenths of the farmers want a county demonstration agent. The worth of these agents is prov ed in most of the counties by the fact that they are retained in the couri /?? - a- ----- a. G G G K L L L M M N 0 0 i/ics lrvm year to year, occasionally a we get a man who does not- make good; that is true everywhere. A cheap man never makes good, or rarely does; but where a living sal ary is paid and a first class man em- ei x ployed,-he is worth many times his w i I afery to the farmers in a county. In looking to the employment of a nan in this county, we are but fol owing other counties .more progres ive than we have proved ourselves ,nd we believe that the investment ire make will prove most satisfac ory.

So far as is known this is the irst time that the names of the solr lier dea<Lhave been set down alpha eticadly without regard for the uni orm the men wore. Strangely nough there are 31 from each side. I It is probable that more sons bf )ld Nassau were killed durihg the truggle but the destruction, of re ords has made it noarly impossible o aotain a strictly accurave usu The names have ibeen inscribed in he war memorial room in Nassau i&l on the west marble panel. On he south side of the room are the ams of the 144 Princeton men who irere^illed in the World war and n the east side is a panel ?or the ames of those who died in the devolution. Owira* to the difficulty ri collecting data on the heroes of his war the work is' progressing lowly and will not 'be finished for ome time. Secretary V Lansing Jollins, who has charge of the work as already found 11 Princetonians riio died in the struggle for free_ om, however. (Forty-six of the men whose ames appear on the Confederate sts were officers, 15 were privates nd one was a surgeon.

OLD TABERNACLE." -V i Sparta niburg, Jan 16?Twenty thousand people have heard "Billy" Sunday preach today. Such a mani festation of interest in religious -mppfinc* has never sppn in State, and such a day of worship has never been known perhaps in South Carolina. His day began with the meetings for the negroes of Spar_ t&niburg city and-county, and more than 6,000 of them were present. There was singing, and shouting was unrestrained until the closing scenes of the negro meeting in the tabernacle exceeded in religious fer vor any revival ever known in this city. A large negro choir, Vnder the leadership of its own director, * a negro physician singing the songs of the race thrill ed^ the audience, bait when one of the negro ministers said "JJow let the congregatibn come in and we'll raise the roof and tear this old tab ernacle up," the climax was reach, ed. Mr Sunday's sermon was from the Twenty.third psalm and he preached a simple religion. ' ?From the afternoon jneeting hun. dreds were turned away and from the night, seryice. thousands could not gain admittance to the taber. nacle. All seats were taken fct 6 o'clock, an hour and a half before the service began.
