A HELPING HAND.
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

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.

DISTRICT BIBLE SOCIETY
MEETING WELL ATTENDED
99th Anniversary Held at Greenvale
Church Wednesday?"Centen
nial" Here July 1923.
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.

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.

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.
This worthy couple, by industry
and frugality, have acquired a com
petency of this world's goods; now
blessed with good health, kind neigh
bors and an estimable family, they
! are passing down the western side of
? life in quiet contentment, a blessing
to their community and their church.
