NOTICE!-The meeting indicated by this program is an interdenominational i meeting, and every worker in every white Sunday school in Edgef?eld county ?3 urgently requested to attend. The Edgefield County Sunday School Asso ciation is auxiliary to the South Caro, lina Sunday School Association, which is a co-operative e flo rt on the part of all denominations to improve Sunday school conditions and Sunday school workers. It advocates the latest and best methods of Sunday school work, and stands only for those interests that are common to Sunday schools of all denominations. The plans and methods suggested by this association are prac ticable for all Sunday schools, as they do not touch on church doctrines. The work is by way of suggestion, not by authority; therefore, it helps many, it hinders none. The object is helpful and brotherly co-operation, not organic union. The officers of the association are leading [Christian business men of all evangelical denominations. J, C. MORGAN. County President. J. M. BUSSEY, County Secretary. Executive Committee-G. M.

Mukashy Bargain House. Senator Tillman's Big Boy. Editor Advertiser:-I attended the commencement at Clemson Co? lege last week. I was at Rock Hill some time ago to see the Senator's Bit: Gal. Well, I must say that the girl and hoy are hard to beat. Sena tor Tillman is the father of these two institutions ot learning; hence I call them his children. If I could use tim pen of a ready writer, I would write up Clemson just as it now is. The faculty has sent out a pen picture ot the college. Clemson College is located in Ooo nee county, at the foot-hills of the Blue Ridge mountains, on the home stead ol' John C. Calhoun, and later of his son-in-law, Thos. G. Clemson. It is 800 feet ahove sea level. At a distance of twenty miles can be seen range after range ol' mountains, the home of the Highlands, Ceasar's Head, Whitcsides. The college tract contains over 1,500 acres. Its inventoried prop erty is 8l,3'27,728.57. There are many stately buildings placed at el evated points, forming a great ir regular circle. Enclosed in this cir cle is a beautiful grove ot' native oaks and hickory trees, threaded by smooth drive-walks. The whole grove of thousands of native trees are covered with green grasses, which makes Clemson beautiful fur situation. After walking all over the grounds, the agricultural department, the cat tle and dairy farm, thc grape vine yard and the greenhouse, where the roses never fade, and where tho dowers never oease to bloom, I simply had to exclaim, with the Queen of Sheba, "the half had never been told about the glory,'aud beauty of this wonderful" plant. I looked in the faces of about 800 of as fine looking young men as you will find in any college in the South. Out of that number 118 graduated with honor. Looking at that bunch of tine looking, healthy young men just entering upon the great sea of time, I Raid, "My Country, 'Tis of Thee I Sing." Nature has done a great deal for Clemson. I wish every South Car olinian could come and see for them selves. If I had a cow pen full of boys I would send them to this col lege to be trained for their life work. I heard an old cracker say, while there: "It takes too much money to run this thing; and then there is no Christian influence here." I said, look at those church men before your eyes. You 'don't know what you are talking about. I believe this is the healthiest county in the State. I said to a friend tho other day that Senator Tillman was the father of Clemson and Winthrop. Ile said, "No, Thos. G. Clemson was the father of Clemson College." No, I said, yon cannot deny the fact. This is Uncle Ben's Big Boy and the Winthrop is his Big Pretty Gal. While I know that he has done a great deal far South Carolina sime he has been in public office, but 1 look upon these two colleges as the greatest achievement ol' his life. I hope the old hero will live on and on until he reaches a hundred years. Now, if you fellows don't believe what I have said about Uncle Ben's Big Boy, ask .Mr. John .Mays and his good wife and their three sons, who were there several days. You are oldige to take their testimony to be the truth, and nothing but the truth. Clemson College is an honor to the State and a blessing to Oconee county. When you hear a fellow say, that the State is giving too much money to Clemson, you can put it down that he is talking through his hat, and using that as a vote catcher with some people, and that lie has more bones in his cranium than brains. J. Russell Wright. Seneca, S. C. Save money by trading with us this week. Our special cut price sale will continue through the week. Smith-Marsh Co.

Try it and see-one application will prove more than a column of claims. James S. Ferguson, Phila., Pa., writes: "I have had wonderful re lief since I used Sloan's Liniment on ray knees. To think after all these year? of pain one application gave rae relief. Many thanks for what your remedy has done for me." Don't keep on suffering, ap ply Sloan's Liniment where your pain is and notice how quick you get relief. Penetrates without rub bing. Buy it atauy Drug Store. 25c. 3. THE ffc&SS MEETING. (Continued from First Pape.) of the York people was never dis appointing. About the middle of the after noon we reached Gaston ia, the North Carolina town, or, more properly, city, that is noted for its many cotton mills. From this pro gressive place all faces were turned to York -?2 miles away. On this par ticular occasion we were the guest of Mr. J. Al. Smith,one of thb lead ing citizens of Clover, a flourishing town in York county. His hand some new Buick, No. 74.S, was as comfortable as a Pullmau ear glid~ ins: noiselessly along on 80-pound riiis. Thursday night a reception was tendered the visitors by the people of York in thc room.' of tl.e White Rose cl ul?. This occasion gave the members of the press association an opportunity to meet and mingle with many others of the community whom they lind not hitherto mel. And a delightful occasion it was in deed. Iced refreshments and deli cious punch was served. And just before the parting beautiful lasses pinned sweet peas on each one pre ent. Mere we saw tile social side ol York, the occasion presenting a scene of rare diann and beauty and grace. Friday morning the first business session of the association was held, j However, the Ililli meeting was one in which business was not al lowed to interfere with pleasure. I President Banks made his carefully J prepared report, showing that dur ing the past year he has been con stantly on the alert for those things I that would in any way contribute to the newspaper and publishing inter ests in the state. Several interesting papers were read at both the Friday morning an i afternoon sessions, among these being; a paper on "Preparedness" by Col. L. W. Cbeatbam which was well received. Friday afternoon the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Wil liam Banks, editor of the Colum bia Record; first vice-president, J. L. Minis; second-vice-president, A. B. Jordau, of the Dillon Herald; secretary, Joe Sparks, of The State; treasurer, Mr. Davies of the Barn well ueople. The executive commit tee is composed of August Kohn, IA,H. Wannamaker of the News and Courier and Miss Juanita Wy lie.of the Lancaster News. ' "The 1917 meeting will be held in Beaufort. There were more than half a dozen invitations but Beau fort was selected on first ballot. The piece de resistance of the York meeting was the address of Dr. Talcatt Williams, the dean of the Pulitzer School of Journalism of New York, Friday night. This distinguished journalist also spoke informally at several of the sessions, always having a message worth while. An all-day pleasure excursion in to the mountains of North Carolina was arranged for the visitors Satur day, a large number of York people going aiso. A special train of six coaches, one of them being a de luxe observation car, was chartered for the trip over the Carolina and North Western railroad, The spe cial train left York at S a. rn. and arrived at Kdgemont, tiie terminus of the road, about twelve. Here an other feast was awaiting the merry party. Notwithstanding the fact that all appetites had been whetted by the fatigue of the journey and the bracing air, the hospitality of our channing hosts was equal to the occisi?n. Meats and sweetmeats and iced Irin ks and Havana cigars were dispensed in limitless quanti ties, and what is l>nst of all every thing was on this and every other occasion so beautifully served and all attentions were so graciously be stowed. The scenery along the Carolina ?and North Western railroad bailies description. In passing in and out the mountain gorges a beautiful harvest scene would greet the eye, and maybe a little farther up a mountain stream would be crossed j or paralellcd for some miles with cattle by the scores and scores graz ing on the lowlands and meadows. This constantly shifting scene pre sented a panoramic picture that would inspire a poet or artist to produce a master-piece. Karly in the afternoon the home ward journey was begun, the de scent from the crest of the moun tains being even more delightful tha n the ascent of the forenoon. Upon reaching Gastonia, the main line of the Southern from Charlotte to Atlanta, many of ?he party left for their homes in Sparenburg, Greenville, Anderson and other place in the Piedmont. Here also Dr. Williams left us for New York. When York was reached tho sad dest partings were experienced when good-byes had to he said to our hosts and hostesses. At Chester, Winnsboro and Columbia others left the constantly diminishing newspaper party, all pledging them selves to meet again in Beaufort a year hence. Words are empty and meaning less when we attempt to convey any idea of the beautiful, all-abounding hospitality of the people of York. It was needless for them to present souvenirs-beautiful vanity cases for the ladies and appropriately en graved enif links and real leather .smoking cases for the men-though highly appreciated was this charac teristic thoughtfulness, for as the years come and go our impressions of historic York, made indelible by the unceasing attentions and un bounded hospitality of her cultured people, will be undimmed. And the members of the South Carolina Press association who attended the^ meeting of Iii IG will always be pro foundly grateful to them-more grateful than they can ever express or the York people will ever know. Anniversary Will be June 23. On June twenty-third, we celi bratethe first anniversary of the or ganization of our Civic League and Cemetery Association. In that time we have grown from a dozen wo men, earnest in their desire for civic betterment, to sixty-five co workers.
