There were a good many pupils in the city schools who were conditioned on their last year's work, and who are able to make up the work in which they were conditioned if they be given a chance. A notice in to-1 day's issue of this paper brings the news that Maj. Fulp and a corps of teachers will run a three week's school here, beginning August 7th. for the purpose of allowing such pu pils to remove conditions and thus be enabled to enter regular grades this fall. Parents should read the announce ment, look up the grade cards of their children, and if any of them have been conditioned on one or more studies, should consult the Su perintendent at once. The Superintendent has finished his work in Columbia and will be at home the end of?this week or early next week. He can be found at his residence or at some convenient place in the city by appointment. Nothing discourages a pupil so much as being behind the other pupils in his grade and every ambi tious pupil will seize every opportu nity to get in the regular work. The three weeks' school is going to b? of , immense help to these pupils. But it will be of equally as much benefit ,to other pupils. Teachers who are re quired to do extra work on irregular students are forced to give that much less time to their regular classes. The result is that the whole grade suffers when a few of the pupils o5 +V,o crrario ronnirp cnopial wnrlf at *"v t> ~ ^ ~ - "* the hands of the teacher. Every pa tron of the schools will therefore welcome the work outlined in the no tice. We trust that every aid will be extended to the teachers and that they may be enabled to do even mor? than they anticipate. OLD RECORDS. Rev. H. Rabb, whose address is City, and not Plant City, Ohio, writ e-'| as follows: Touching the matter of old rec ords I wish to say that I have a copy of the "Annual Catalogue of the Officers and Students of Cark and Erskine Seminary," printed in 1841. My impression is that it is the first catalogue of that institution. There is no senior class; and -the junior class is composed of the following: Enoch Agnew, Abbeville county, S. C.; Jas. M. Crosson, Newberry coun ty, S. C.; Sam'l P. Davis, Mecklen burg county, N. C.; David F. Haddon Abbeville county, S. C.; Jno. O.j Lindsay, Abbeville county, S. C.; Jas. A. Sloan, Fairfield county, S. C Jno. C. Williams, Abbeville county, S. C. In the sophomore class are to be found the names of: Thos. J. Bonner, Joseph F. Lee, Wm. A. Lee,, David McCrery, John Miller, Jas. L. Miller David P. Robinson, Jas. P. Weed 1 ~i-l <uiu uuiers. In the freshman class are the names of such men as Robert W. Brice, Jas. R. Castles, Thos. S. Lee, Joseph H. Pressly, Jno. E. Pressly, Archibald Sloan. In the scientific and primary de partment we find the names of James R. Watt, (a great uncle of mine) Wm. M. McElwee and E. L. Patton. The faculty consisted of Rev. E. E. Pressly, A. M., Rev. Jas. P. Press ly, A. M., Rev. Jno. N Young, A. B, Jas M. Young, A. B., Tutor, David Pressly, A. M., Tutor. A brief history of the institution, states that "in 1836 the institution was organized, and that during the first four years of its existence it' was confined to the simple object of fitting young men for college." "Board, including washing and lodging" could be procured at from $7.50 to $8.50 per month.?H. Rabb, in A. R.

The 99th anniversary of the Abbe ville District Bible Society held at Greenvale Presbyterian church, near Shoals Junction, was a very pleasant occasion. The attendance was good. Dr. John G. Clinkscales delivered a fine address; one of the striking points was the emphasis 'he laid on the need of the Bible being not only recognized, but taught in the public schools. The contributions were gratifying and the dinner served in the grove after the work of the society was fin ished, was the best ever. The writer was reminded of the good dinners lhat used to be served at Donalds to the soldiers returning home from the war in '65; then as a small bare-foot boy, with father a prisoner in the extreme North, and very' little to eat at .home, we filled up on the fragments after the veterans had feasted and the fast tram had mov ed on. Surely the mantle of the mo thers of that day has fallen on capa ble shoulders. Now we want everybody to think, talk and get ready for the grand Bible Society rally1, "the Centennial meeting" to be held in Abbeville the last Wednesday in July 1923. A. B. Morse. LARGE ENROLLMENT THROUGHOUT STATE Columbia, July 27.?The heaviest Democratic enrollment the State ever knew is indicated by advices reaching Columbia Wednesday, fol lowing the closing of the enrollmenl books Tuesday evening. State Demo cratic committee officials have re ceived from various points indicate that the enrollment was heavy, swell ed largely by the women voters. Harry N. Edmunds of Columbia secretary of the State Democrats executive committee, stated todaj that he had sent a letter to all coun ty committee secretaries, asking tha' they report to him as soon as possi ble on the enrollment figures, so thai he will know how many ballots t( have printed this year. In the city of Columbia the en rollment is nearly double what il was in 1920, and the percentage oJ women whose names appear on th< club roll is large. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. Rev. H. L. Weeks, pastor, has senl in the following announcements: Pastor Howard L. Weeks wil] preach Sunday at 11:00 a. m. on tne suDject, "ine onaiienge 01 up portunity and Adversary." The 8:30 p. m. subject will be: "How to Set tle the Strike." The B. Y. P. U. will meet Sunday at 7:30 p. m. The program will be given by group four. This organization of the young people of the church is becoming a very interesting and effective part of the church life. The plan is to have the regular meetings of the B. Y. P. U. on Wednesday nights dur ing August while the pastor is out of town. These are trying days on the Sunday School attendance. The teac** ers are exhorted to be present promptly or secure a good substitute. Thp attendance last. Sundav was 17 short of the 200 mark. Let us try to make it 225 next Sunday. Rev. C. A. Jones, the "Educational Secretary" of our Baptist State Con vention will preach Sunday, August 6th at 11 a. m. Dr. Jones is a very attractive speaker and will doubtless bring an interesting message to all who will hear him. CHARLESTON ENROLLS OVER TEN THOUSAND Charleston, July 27.?On the face of the enrollment books, which clos ed Thursday at noon, 10,457 men and women in the city of Charleston qualified for the approaching pri mary elections. It is believed that the county clubs will show about 1,500 men and women on their rolls, which are to be delivered at once. County Chairman Daniel L. Sink ler was in the office of the county auditor when the city club books were being delivered. He has already arranged for the typewriting of all the names in order that, pursuant to law, they may be published for in spection by the public. vVVVWV V x V V V \ v > > V LOWNDES VILLE V \ > On last Sabbath, Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Clinkscales accompanied Rev and Mrs. H. G. White to First Creek and attended services at that place. Rev. White has served this church for several years and is extremely Donular with all the people of that section as well as his parishoners. On th's occasion he delivered a strong, forceful sermon to an ap preciative audience of more than an average number. One of the most noticeable features of the day's ser vice was the active, wide-a-wake Sunday School, presided over by Mr. Earle Murdock, who makes a capable and most efficient superintendent. The splendid class arrangement and interest of both old and young in the Scripture study and song service were especially commendable to vis itors. The pastor and his party dined with Mr. and Mrs. Jno. D. Murdock and enjoyed a most delightful din ner dispensed with a generous, old timed hospitality so dear to the hearts of the older generation. All the children have left'the old home except one daughter, Miss Onie, who remains to comfort and cheer her father and step-mother. She is a sweet lovable woman and has the tact of making guests feel perfectly at home.

LIVING COSTS 66 PER CENT MORE THAN 1913 Washington, July 27.?While liv ing costs generally in the United States were 28 per cent lower last month than in June 1920, and two tenths of one per cent lower than in March, this year, they were 66.6 per cent higher than in December, 1913, the Bureau of Labor statistics of the Department of Labor an nounced today.
