Great Throng Spent Pleasant and Profitable Day at Re hoboth. . Since coming among us, some twelve years ago, Rev. J. T. Lit tlejohn has done a great work among the people of the western half of Edgefield county. H9 not only preaches to them from one of bis four churcbos every Sunday but he mingles with them in their home life and in tbeir business life during the week. Their joys have b??en his, j^ys, t*heir . orrows his so?tows. Their homes have always been open to bim aud his Aappy home always opeu to them. Indeed the relations that have ex isted at all times between pastor and people have oeen mutually helpful and peculiarly happy. Thip, iu part at JeaBt, accouuts fe the wonderful amou?t of gacd thal Mr. Lit?ejohu bas done and is doing on tho west-side. In compliance with a request from some of the members of Re hoboth church, Mr. Littlejohn ar ranged for a .temperance rally at that church ou Suuday last. Owing to the crowded condition of the building, a song aud prayer service was held instead of the regular Sunday tcbool exercises. Miss Weinona Strom presided at the organ and Mr. L. F. Dorn, of Parksville, gave valuable assist ance to the choir. At the? conclusion of the song service Hon. G+> C. Featherstone, of Laurens,- was introduced, and with his matchless eloquence, cogent argument and convincing array of facts aud figures upon the question of prohibition he helcl the closeet attention of the very large coi-gregation for more than an bour. He urged ?pou his hear ers tbe importance of rearing a generation of e~ber young men to take the places of the old men wbo are rapidly passing from the scene of .action. Mr. Featherstone read a cold-blooded appeal that is made bv liquor men urgirg that every effort be made to create an appe tite for driuk among the boys. On this the future of thiir business depends. Decisions from, the State and United States Fupreme courts were, read in which it was declared that the . liquor busiuess, owiug to its baneful effects upon individuals and upon society, differs from other lines of business and muit be pleated differently. Mr. Featherstone presented a strong array of facts and fleures, setting forth conditions in the "dry" counties of the state as compared with conditions in the 4,wet" counties, which proved con clusively that every corrmuuity, 'every county, is profited by abolishing the sale of whiskey. In a most effective and con vincing manner, he auswered the argument advanced by those who advocate the sale of liquor for the profit that is made out of it. He said that the profit, so-called, al ways comes out of our own peo ple, aud that aman spends a dol lar cut of one pocket in order to put a quarter in the othar. Mr. Featherstouo urged the cbuicb members and Christian people to 3laud firm, stand to gether, and move forward]) as one man in their efforts to stamp out this world-wide evil. We regret that limited space precludes the possibility of re porting this magnificent address at greater length. At the conclusion of Mr. Feath ers'tcne's address, the co?igregation was dismissed for an bour. Dur ing this time the tremendous crowd, almost every section of the county being represented, enjoy ed the great feast that had been provided by the good women of -Rehoboth. The dinner on thia oc latter referred to the great prog ress that the prohibition cause had made in the past and of the indications of still greater prog ress in future. Mr. Littlejohn also epDke of the important part that the Christian women of tho couutry are taking in this great reform movement, and commend ed the good women of our couuty for their very zealous and un tiring efforts in ?he cause of tem perance. Judgiug from numerous re marks that were heard after the large congregation was dismissd, much lasting good will result from the temperance rally at Re hoboth. Campaign Meeting in Aiken ? County Broken up by Whiskey. In voting to retain their dis pensaries, the people of Aiken couuty sowed to the wind and they are now reaping the whirl wind. 'When the conditious iu this couuty, where no whiskey is legally sold, are contrasted with conditions as below set forth in Aiken county, Edgefield bas large ly the advantage. The recent couuty campaign raeetiug at Yonce's Mill is described as fol lows in the Aiken Recorder: "Mr. Croft, the first speaker, was given a respectful hearing and occasionally applauded bv his admirers. When Mr. Gyles be gan speakiug. a man from Gran iteville or Warreuvilje placed himself in front of the speakf, and began to make discourteous remarks. Soon a man from the neighborhood of the Palmetto farms placed himself to one side of the speaker aud began inter rupting him. In a few minutes others joined them. It was plain that some of them were under the influence of liquor. "After a while Mr. Gyles re quested the chairman to keep or der as bis time was limited. It is said that the chairman turned and looked at the mau from near the Palmetto farms, but said nothing and made no effort to preserve order. Then a. young mau on the opposite si??? of the stand began hurrahing for I Gyles and the others began to use I profane language aud th<? fight I began. "Several men rushed up to en deavor to prevent fighting, but the man from near the farms turned on them and began cursing tSe*?). and drew a large knife aud tried to use it, but was prevented. Pistols were orawn and it was ob vious that when these QIHU from a distance began to curse a id fight, the men of the Yonc-'n Mill section, their friends forget ting Ibe differences of politics rushed in to defend them; and it was soon seuu that they wer? largely in the majority. "Two ladies faiuted. _'Tbe _ people scattered and ont a fourth of them took any. furber inter?s!; in the speaking, lu a short time another drunken mai? who bad a pistol buckled arouud his waist got into a fight aud it required gr-^at efforts to prevent another serious difficulty. Im mediately after dinner (he ladies began to leave and- when the last speeches were mude there were few present, and many wer<) heard to assert that they would never at tend another campaign mpeting. "It ia said that nobody com manded the peace nor called on the bystanders to assist : quelling the disturbance, al though there were peace officers in the grounds; "The names of the men v,ho started the disturbance are known and there are many witnesses who saw i>. and if the officers do no' bring them to justice th? grand jury should lakw a hand." Great Day at Meriwether. The fourth annual meeting of the Savannah Valley Association of Farmers Clubs was held at Meriwether hall on Thursday last. The attendance was something like 2,000 people, and everybody enjoyed tue day to toe fullpst ex tent. Besides the candidate?, the attendance from all parts of Edge field county was very laige. Au gusta, Aiken and Barnwellcouu ties also sent large delegations. Dr. J. E. Green a charter member of the organization was 're-elected president of th? association. That very successful former and most excellent citizen of which Edg^field count* is justly very proud. Mr. P. M. M*.rki.>Tt. waa elected a member of th^sxecutive committee. ? Besides the magnificent fr-e dinner, music, and dancing by the young p?ople, au attractive feature of the dav's program ware the splendid'addresses.;' Capt. N. G. Evans wa* one of the orators of the dav. Of his address tb? Au gusta Chronicle had the follow ing to say: "Capt. N. G. Evans, nf Rd?e? field, was then introduced and an iible address io which a humber of mooted questions relating to agricultural and economic qu? tions were d;velt upon and in telligently discu'sed, s irred the audience" to appr?ciative and marked approval." Beautiful Tribute to the La mented Mrs. john Lake. Wuchow, Chiua. Moy 23rd, 1908. My d?ar Mrs. Mims: Hnving known of you and others of Mr. Lake's friends in the homeland throush our dear Mr.?.

'When she was married to Mr. Lake a little less than a year ago, we, her friends, rejoiced that she now needed no longer to take thest? awful trips alone, but.it was too late her health was already failing and in spite of the most tend?r, constant care which her more than devoted husband gave her/her frail body gave way to that dreaded disease dysentery. She had literally given her life for the women of China. She died for China. For a month before her death she had beeu very unwell, really ill by spells, but her bravery de ceived her friends and no one sus pected bow grave was the dauger until just one week before the end carno when the attanding physi cian reco.ninondcd that she should be takeu to the hospital iu Hong Kong uutil she should be able to travel to America-. She was taken to the hospital on Thursday and even on Sunday following there seemed some hope of recovery. On Monday Mr. Lake's telegiara renehed us saying she was very ill. We, Dr. Hayes aud I, hastened to Hong Kong, reaching there on Weduesday morning when she had been with Jesus nearly two hours. She was as beautiful in death as' io life. One might have thought that she was asleep enjoying sweet dreams of an innocent babe. We laid hpr away in the beautiful cem?tery in Hong Kong overlooking t he har bor where she landed five and a half years ago when she came to give her life for China. Th^ funer al was beautiful and impressive, many friends from Canton and Hong Kong being present, who came to pay . the Jast tribute to her whom all loved and revered from the Am?rica-i Consul down to the CHneee coolie.
