At the opening of the Civil War he listed in Company G, Nine teenth Regiment S. C. Volunteers, and served with distinction as lieu tenant through the entire war. Since the war, and until the time of his death, he took a lively interest in all public questions, and was one of the best posted men of his community in his day. Many years ago he was a teacher in the schools of th ecounty where he lived. In early life he married Miss Hen rieetta Ouzts, daughter of Martin Ouzts, of Edgefield county. A little over three years ago she preceded j her husband to the grave. Of their union six children survive: Mes dames Ira Dorn, of Modoc; Lillie An drews of Grenwood; Docia Cleeg and Annie Pickle of Kirksey; and John T. and William L. Faulkner of North Augusta. G. G. W.

George Gilchrist and Frank Kenrick enjoyed a fishing trip on Savannah Fiver last week as the guests of Messrs Conner and -Tom Bussey. If they hear of fishing parties need ing a good cook they can safely rec omend the latter, especially in coffee brewing, the always nee ?ary addi tion to fish frys. Mrs. George Bussey had as her guest last Wednesdaay, Mrs. Press. Parkman, accompanied by Miss Lou E. and their guest, Miss Minnie Lou Parks, niece of Mrs. Parkman. Mr. Dewey . Dorn of Clarks Hill attended Sunday school last Sunday at Flat Rock. Mr. Rufus Doolittle's hand is im proving and the break is not as se rious as wa? .first apprehended. Miss Louise Bussey accompanied her grandfather, Mr. John Robert son to Modoc last Sunday.. Modoc, S. C. Sunday School as Prime Need. "It is estimated by competent au thorities that there are 668,340 chil dren in South Carolina who are re ceiving no religious instruction what ever. In the South as a whole there are reported to be 14,251,873 chil dren totally neglected in this regard," so Dr. Wilson Gee, professor of ru ral social science at the University of South Carolina, write in the fore |word for "The Rural Sunday School," hte most recent bulletin to be pub lished by the university. "The rural Sunday School," Dr. Gee points out, "is the institution in South Carolina which ministers to the religious instruction of the young people of the state. Anything which tends to make it more efficient in its work constitutes a real service to our citizenship." The bulletin, em bodying as it does, the result of care ful study into rural Sunday school conditions, is the work of C. E. K?p ley and was submitted by him as his master of arts thesis in the depart ment of rural social science at the university. Fosters Religious Life. The purpose of the rural Sunday school in the community, Mr. Kepley thinks, is to foster religious life. "There are other agencies," he says, j "to entertain people and to minister I to their social needs ; there are means provided for the secular education of the children but there is only one universally recognized institution en gaged in the spiritual training of children. This institution is the Sun day school. It exists for the purpose of training and fostering religious life. If it fails in this it has failed in everything. The real test of the Sunday school is whether it produces spiritual life- in its community." . Secondary^ aims, listed in the bul letin as goals which the rural Sunday school should attain, include; the training of rural and other leaders, promotion of cooperation. "The great est rural problem, perhaps," Mr. Kepley finds in making his research for his thesis, "is that of leadership and there'is n,o better training for leadership than religious training. Je sus alone possesses those qualities that make men great. His teachings furnish the basis for harmonious, constructive community life." School of Cooperation. Much of the progress made recen t ly in the building up of better rural communities, in the making of rural life,' broader and more pleasureful, _ is to be traced, Mr. Kepley thinks, to the influence and work of the rural Sunday schools. "Little bands of Sun day school workers," he says, "have been the means of bringing* together the rural people and thereby laying the foundation stones on which great communities have been developed. Much of the rural cooperation in scientific farming and road building can be traced back to the influence of the Sunday school." A history of the Sunday school movement and a minute survey of ?the organization and needs of the ru ral Sunday school make up the great er part of the bulletin, which, Dr. Wilson Gee thinks, will be found of benefit to "every rural Sunday school superintendent and teacher as well as every country pastor." The bul letin is distributed .free of charge by the university extension department. -The State. J. S.

Under the terms of the act, Di tor of the Mint Baker sold to ? land 279,000,000 # silver 'doll amounting to 208,000,000 pieces silver at $1.01% an ounce, plus market price of the copper contai in the dollar. The 1% cents, Mr. ker explained tonight, paid for cost of melting and transportai and the cost of recoinage. The work of refining the hole in the treasury's vaults, Mr. Ba said, was now well under way, mint striking off silver dollars at rate of about eight to ten millio] month. Since May, 1920, the mint bought about fifty-five million oun of American silver at $1 an oui and will continue to make its p chases., at this price until the tre ury's stock is replenished. Despite the fact that the Pittn act requires the mint to pay $1, an ounce for is silver, Mr. Baker ? dared, queries are constantly rece ed demanding why the governm? pays so much more for its silver th the market price. The price was fis by the act, he stated, to stabilize t price of silver when there were in cations of its reaching unheard heights during the war. As a result the government's action in confini the treasury's purchases to silv< both produced and reduced in tl country, the American silver mini] industry was 'protected from ove whelming foreign competition, M Baker said.
