Mr. Douglas Timmerman preach ed his first sermon in Edgefield in the Baptist church Sunday morning. Although he had but a short time in which to prepare the sermon, it was a splendid, well rendered discourse which would have done credit to a veteran in the ministry. His manner in the pulpit was easy, graceful and altogether pleasing to the large con gregation which' assembled to hear him. At the close of the service scores rushed to the front to express their commendation and to bid him God speed in his life of sacrifice and ser vice of his Master. The Edgefield church is very proud of Douglas Tim merman, as was shown by the ova tion Sunday morning. Mass Meeting of Farmers. Elsewhere in this issue is found an announcement^ of a mass meet ing of farmers to be held in the school building at Johnston, Thurs day morning, August 18, at ten o'clock. While probably other things of interest to farmers will doubtless be discussed, yet the leading ques tion will be dairying. Experts and specialists from Clemson College and from the United States Department of Agriculture will be present and deliver addresses that well be help ful. There is no denying the fact that farmers, and consequently every oth er interest and business, stand face to face with an insurmountable brick wall, so to speak, and they know not which way to turn for re lief. The mass meeting at Johnston is called for the purpose of opening up some new avenue of relief. The time has come when we must leave off cot ton as certainly and as speedily as we would desert a sinking ship. Fur ther dependence upon cotton as a money crop spells BANKRUPTCY. Attend the mass meeting at John ston Thursday of next week.
