RED OAK GROVE.

Messrs. George Gilchrist and Frank
Kenrick enjoyed a fishing trip on
Savannah Fiver last week as the

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

Parkman, accompanied by Miss Lou
E. and their guest, Miss Minnie Lou

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.

Treasury Coins Silver Dol
Washington, June 19.-Coina,
silver dollars has been resume
the mint after a lapse of seven ;
and the work of replacing the $
000,000 standard silver dollars t
from the treasury during the w;
sell to Great Britain has been b<
Since last March, treasury off
said tonight, approximately 20
000 silver dollars had been coine
the same period correspor
amounts of silver certificates
issued and federal reserve notes
treasury notes securing them, ret
This process, officials said, -w
probably continue for the next
years until the treasury's reserv
silver dollars is back to its pre
basis.
The mint, officials explained <
ed coining silver dollars in 1914 -v
the supply of metal purchased u:
the coinage act was exhausted. '.
ther authority to make the dollar
not forthcoming until 1918, v
congress passed the Pittman ac"
enable the sale of melted dollar
England for the relief of the si
famine in India.
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. Because of the price
which the silver was sold to Englan
the government is breaking a litt
better than ever on the trans?Ctio
he added.

Alabama Lady Was Sick For Three
Years, S off erin g Pain, Nervous
and Depressed-Read Her
Own Story of Recovery*
Paint Rock; Ala-Mrs. C. M. Steffi,
Of near hore, recently related tho fol
lowing Interesting account of her re
covery: "I was In a weakened con
dition. I was sick three years in bed.
Buffering a great deal of pain, weak,
nervous, depressed. I was so weak,
I couldn't walk across the floor; just,
had to lay and my little ones do the
work. I was almost dead. I tried
every thing I heard of, end a number of
doctors. Still I didn't get any relief.
I couldn't eat, and slept poorly. I
believe if I hadn't heard of and taken
Cardul I would have died. I bought
six bottles, after a neighbor told me
what it did for her.
1 began to eat and sleep, began ta
gain my strength, and am now well
and strong. I haven't had any trou
ble since ... I sure can testify to the
good that Cardul did me. I don't
think there ls a better tonic made
and I believe lt saved my life."
For over 40 years, thousands of wo*
men have used Cardul successfully^
in the treatment of many womanly
ailments.
If you suffer ss these women did*
take Cardul. It may help yon, too.
