Analyzing Personnel of tl General Assembly. <For The State by A. S. Salley, J When the 147 paladins of Soi Carol na who were elected at 1 general election held last Tuesd meet the 32 paladins and one bat axe who hold over from the last si .ate on the second Tuesday in Ji nary next, and organize for the fi session of the 75th general ass*ml of the state of South Carolina, 1 careful onlookers will find a gene: assembly somewhat different fri our usual legislature. Of the 23 senators elected h Tuesday, 9 were members cf the li senate and were reelected. Of t 14 new senators, seven have had If islative experience and seven (Se ators Shruill of Chesterfield, Jeff or of Darlington, Rogers of Dillon, Fx derbunk of Kershaw, Stewart of La .caster, Freeman of Marlboro, a Craig of Pickens) have had no le islative experience. Senator Harvey of Berkeley h previously served in both the sena and the house. He was a member the house from 1890 to 1900. 1907 he was elected to the senate fill'the unexpired term of Senat Baynes, who had died and served 1910. In 1912 he was returned to tl "house where he served until the ele lion of 1914 when he was again ele ?ed to the senate for four years. 1920 he came back to the house f two years. Besides Senators Harvey, four ot er members of the last house ha been elected to the senate: Senato Todd of Charleston, 'Scarborough Clarendon, Williams of Florence ai Cooper of Lee. The other two ne senators with legislative experieni are Senators Fant of Anderson, wi served in the house from 1914 1916, and Graham from William burg, who served in the house fro 1890 to 1892 and from 1914 to 192 Of the 124 members of the hou: 33 were members of the last hom and have been reelected. These ai Messrs. Cunningham of Allendal Dickson and W. R. Harris of Ande son, Kearse of Bamberg, Brown ? Barnwell, McMillan and F. M. Wha ey of Charleston, Vassey of Cher kee, Glenn of Chester, McKay < Dillon, Sheppard of Edgefield, Han; han of Fairfield, West of Georg? town, Bryson, Moon, Gresham ari McDavid of Greenville, Prince < Horry, Horton of Jasper, Robinsc of . Lancaster, Nance of La uren Amick of Lexington, E. S. Bleas and Kibler of Newberry, Williams c Pickens, Barnett, Sapp and Gera] of Richland, Mabry of Spartanburj Hamblin and Kennedy of Union, an Bradford and Carothers of Yorl Nineteen of the new members hav had previous legislative experienci These are Messrs. McAdams of At beville, Toole, Holley and Keena of Aiken, Bellamy of Beaufort, Shu 1er of Berkeley, Harper of Charles ton, Smith and S moak of Colletor Sawyer of Georgetown, Harrison o Greenwood, Richards of Kershaw Norton of Marion, Findley of Pick ens, Rawlinson of Richland, Evan Lancaster and Gray of Spartanburg and Beamgard of York. Representative Evans of Spartan hurg, though still under 60, begai Jhis legislative .career farthest bael of all the members of the house. Hi served four years in the house fron Aiken county from 1888 to 1892 anc two years in the senate from 1895 to 1984, resigning in 1894 upon re -ceiving the nomination for governoi in the Democratic primary that sum mer. He served as governor from De cember ,1894 to January, 1897, his term being one month longer than .any governor since the adoption of the constitution of 1868, due to the provision of the constitution of 1895 .changing the meeting time of the general assembly from the last Tues day in November to the second Tues day in January. Mr. Evans also en joys the distinction of being, so far as I am to ascertain, the first ex governor to sit in the house of repre tives since Charles Pinckhey vacated his seat in the house in 1806 to be come governor for the fourth time. Representative George Bell Tim merman of Lexington served as a circuit solicitor for 16 years from 1904 to 1920. Four years he was so licitor of the fifth circuit and 12 years of the 11th circuit. Four of the newly elected mem bers of the house have previously served in the senate. These are Mr. Evans, as already recited and Messrs. E. S. Blease of Newberry, who was senator from Saluda county, from 1904 to 1906; Toole of Aiken, who represented his county in the senate from 1906 to 1908, and Beamgard o* York, who was senator from that county from 11912 to 1920. Representative Harper of Charles ton served in the house from Dar lington county from 1912 to 1915, and Representative Harrison of Greenwood served in the house from Spartanburg county from 1916 to 1918. A considerable part of the time of Mr. Harrisons' term was also giv en to the service of the United States as a lieutenant in the national army. A former clerk of. the house has also just been elected a member thereof, Mr. Hamer of Marlboro, who was clerk from 1898 to 1910. Representative W. L. Gray of Lau rens enjoys the distinction of being the oldest man in the house, and while considerably below the allotted three score and ten is more than sev en years older than former Governor Evans, who comes next in years. The average for the entire house is probably below 40. Care of Seed Corn. Clemson College, Nov. 14.-No doubt many farmers have gone over their fields this fall and carefully se- j lected good seed corn for next year's planting. They should now be inter ested to know how the corn can best be cared for until planting time next spring. P. H. Senn, Extension Plant Br?eding Specialist, makes the fol lowing suggestions on the subject: Seed corn, before it is stored away, should be thoroughly dry. If it is stored damp it is likely to mold or freeze. It should never be placed in or about a damp place, such as near a well or old cellar. A good way to keep seed corn is to place it in good tight boxes or barrels. Flour and sugar barrels make good containers. The barrels should be placed where the air is dry and circulates freely. Such a place is usually found in the barn loft. Corn weevils, rats and mice are the worst enemies of seed corn. Dam age from these pests can be prevent ed by properly storing and fumigat ing with a gas called carbon-bisul phide, which can be purchased at drug stores in a liquid form. A pint can costs about forty cents and is enough to fumigate about four bar rels of corn. After the barrels are in position and the ears of corn have been plac ed carefully in them, pour about one fourth of a pint of the liquid carbon bisulphid over the corn in each bar rel. The liquid forms a gas when it comes in contact with the air, and it is necessary that the barrel be tight so that the gas will not leak out through the cracks. Spread a corn sack over the top of the barrel and on this place a good board or tin cov er. Weight down the cover with a heavy rock or brick so that the rats and mice will be kept out. Pick a clean warm day on which to do the fumigating. The gas can be used by any farmer but there is one thing he must be careful about. There must be no fire near, not even a lighted pipe, cigar ette, or lantern, for the gas will ex plode on coming in contact with fire. Leave the corn in the barrels until next spring, looking after it occa sionally to see that it is not being disturbed. Notice of Final Discharge. To All Whom These Presents May Concern: Wheras W. A.

Hymns Taken From Rev. A. T. Allen's Calendar of Last Sunday. Hymn 701 Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory, There forever to abide; All the heavenly hosts adore Thee, Seated at Thy Father's side. There for sinners Thou are plead ing, There Thou dost our plade pre pare, Evening, Verse Saviour, again to Thy dear name we raise, With one accord our .parting hymn of praise; We stand to bless Thee ere our worship cease, Then, lowly kneeling, wait Thy word of peace. Hymn 674 Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour, dear, It is not night if Thou be near; 0 may no earth-born cloud arise, To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes. When the soft dews of kindly sleep My weary eyelids gently steep, Be my last thought-^-how sweet to rest Forever on my 'Saviour's breast. Abide with me from morn till eve, For without Thee I cannot live; ' Abide with me when night is nigh, For without Thee I cannot die. Be near to bless me when I awake, Ere through the world my way I take; Abide with me till in Thy love, " 1 lose myself in heaven above. Hymn 636 Come to the Saviour, make no de lay, Here in His Word He's shown us the way; Here in our midst' He's standing ? to-day, [Tenderly saying "Come!" With boundless stores of grace. Jesus, my Shepherd, Saviour, Friend, My Prophet, Priest and King; My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, Accept the praise I bring! Hymn 678 The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want, He makes me down to lie In pastures green; He leadeth me The quiet waters by. My soul He doth restore again ; And me to walk doth make Within the paths of righteousness, E'en for His own name's sake. Yea, tho' I walk in death's dark vale, Yet I will fear none ill; For Thou art with me; and Thy rod And staff me comfort still. My table Thou has furnished, In presence of my foes; My head Thou dost with ' oil an noint, And my cup overflows. Goodness and mercy all my life Shall surely follow me; And in God's house for evermore My dwelling-place shall be. (Chorus) Joyful, joyful, will the meeting be, When from sin our hearts are pure and free; And we shall gather, Saviour, with Thee, In our eternal home. "Suffer the children!" Oh hear His voice; Let every heart leap forth and re joice, And let us freely make Him eur choice, Do not delay, but come. Hymn 594 More holiness give me, more striv ings within; More patience in suffering, more sorrow for sin; More faith in my Saviour, more sense of His care; More joy in His service, more pur pose in prayer. More gratitude give me, more trust in the Lord; More pride in His glory, more hope in His word; More tears for His sorrows, more pain at His grief; More meekness in trial, more praise for relief. More purity give me, more strength to overcome; More freedom from earth-stains, more longings for home; More fit for the kingdom, more used would I be; More blessed and holy, more, Sa viour, like Thee. Ever for us interceding, Till in glory we appear. Worship, honor, power and bless ing Thou art worthy to receive; . Loudest praises, without ceasing, Meet it is for us to give. Hymn 705 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear; It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, And drives away his fear. It makes the wounded spiri? whole, >^nd calms the troubled breast; ^i'is manna ,to the hungry soul, And to the weary rest. Dear Name, the Rock on which I build, My shield and hiding place; My never failing treasure filled 1. OUR ANNIVERSARY-Today closes the first year of our pastorate with this church. It has been a full and happy year, Not everything has been accomplished that we would have hoped, but as we look back over it we have abundant cause for gratitude to God, who has greatly blessed us. Ev ery phase of our work has gone forward and even the finances of the church have held up remarkably well, in the face of the unprecedented financial de pression with which this section has been visited. The progress achieved has been made possible under God through the cooperation and loyalty of the membership of the church. The pastor wishes to record his appreciation of the splendid spirit of faithfulness of the people to every interest in the church and for the unceasing tokens of kindness and regard to himself and family. This has been the busiest year of all our ministry. We have tried to give ourselves completely to the Lord and the work. A record has been kept which might be of interest: 1. Number of sermons preached_ 77 2. Number of addresses delivered __ - _. - - 30 3. Number of Prayer Meeting talks-' 35 4. Number of Boys' Prayer Meeting talks - 4 5. Number of B. Y. P. U. talks- 7 6. Number of Baraca talks-'- 40 7. Number of funerals conducted- 10 8. Number of marriages- 12 - 9. Number of pastoral calls and visits-1,326 10. Number of letters written_1,000 2. BARACA CLASS-This class has had a phenomenal growth. A new at tendance record was made last Sunday when we had 136 present. That was the number present two weeks ago today. The class has averaged 125 for the last month which also far outstrips any previous month's attendance in the history of the class. For some Sundays we have not been able to seat all who came, but some new seats have been secured to take care of the crowd. The basement room is inadequate in size, but we are managing to make out with it. Numbers are not all there is to this class either, by any means. The music provided by our splendid orchestra and the singing is in spiring. The class is doing a good work among the men of our town. It sup ports two orphans at Connie Maxwell Orphanage and does other benevolent work in this community. 3. PRAYER MEETING-The prayer meeting might be said to be the spir itual pulse of the church. If this be true the spiritual pulse of' this church, unlike many, is not feeble but strong. With an average attendance for the past year of up around 100 and an attendance that has a good many times gone beyond that mark. Our prayer meeting is a testimony to the spiritual vigor of our church. The pastor believes this service has an attendance equal to or more than one fourth of our resident membership. We have been blessed by these prayer meeting services and we feel that many others have. If you've not tried it come and see. Come in prayer. Pray for the preacher. Pray that he may be filled with the Holy Spirit. Pray for yourself. Pray for other worshippers. Pray for the strangers. Pray that they may feel at home in the house of God. Pray ?or the absent ones. Some are absent because of indifference or lack of interest, but whatevr the reason they should be re membered in our petitions. 4. SUNDAY SCHOOL-Our Sunday school has shown an increase lately. We did not miss the 400 mark very far last Sunday, If everyone who does come will come, and everyone who does come bring one who does not we will go beyond that mark. Numbers are not all there is nor the main thing in Sunday school or church, but the Sunday school cannot reach and help peo ple unless they are there. Let us put the child where Jesus put him-in the midst. Two-thirds of all American children receive no significant religious instruction. It is as important as geography and arithmetic. It can be taught and should have its share in any program of education. Have all the children in Sunday school and be there with them.
