Sharpe. who wa> given the vn.ant scholarship at Clem . son College, has returned to his home, thus leaT Tig a vacant scholarship, it seems to as that it would be only right { and proper for State Superintendent , Sweatfngen to appoint Guy B. Taylo ( who is naw at Clemson to this schol- j anhip. Mr. Sharpe and Mr. Taylor j were the only applicants who passed ; j the examination. The appointment ] was given Mr. Sharpe although young g Taylor made the highest average in g the exaeaiae im.

He favored the building of warehouse but this is an emergency and there is no time for delay. "There is nothing on God's earth that will vise the price of cotton but for the farmers to stop 3emng," said uie speaker. Mr. Smith made a masterful presentation of the cotton situation as it appeared to him, and was liberally applauded. At the conclusion cf Senator Smith's address, Mr. James W. Shealy callec for the names of those who would enlist in the fight and who would pledge themselves to hold a portion of their crop lor 10 cents.

We are glad indeed that one of our ministers has sanctioned The Dispatch's editorial relative to a big revival tor Lexington. The Rev. W L. Keele, a faithtul ambassador of the Lord, has written us the following letter, and it is hoped that our other pastors will fall i.i line: To the Editor of The Dispatch: "I noticed in your issue of October 18th, youreditorial under the heading, 'How About a Big Revival for Lexington.' No minister having made a re ply, I want to 9ay that 1 know of nothing better for Lexington, and for one I 3tand ready to meet with the otLei preachers of Lexington to arrange foi a joint revival. What say you, Brother Preacher?? 14W. L. Keele." Preaching at St. Paul's. Y Nothing preventing, I will preach at St. Paul's the second Sunday afternoon ot November at 3 o'clock. This change is made on account of the communion at Cedar Grove having been postponed to the second Sunday morning because of rain last 4th Sunday. B. P. Wessinger, Pastor.
