GREAT MEETING AT POPLAR.
i
Twenty-Five Added to the Church.
Remarkable Spiritual Revival.
The meeting at Poplar Springs was
a season of refreshing from the Lord.
lt continued for eight days, and
there were twenty Ave additions to
the church-twenty-two by confes
sion of faith and three by letter. The
Influence of the Holy Spirit was most
wonderfully manifested from the first
service. Rev. W. E. Huff, the pastor,
is in touch with bia congregation. We
have never seen more interest
manifested in the house of God, nor
better order anywhere during the
eight days. Walter James, from
Georgia, and D. C. Williams, from
Anderson, assisted In the mooting.
Both preached with the power and
demonstration of the spirit. Mr. Wil
liams ls a young man of marked
ability and preaches with great force.
He has been at Furman University
for two years. As soon as he com
pletes his education he expects to en
?ter the evangelistic work. His ser
mon on "What shall I do then with
Jesus, which ls called Christ," was
deep and very Impressive. Mr. Wil
liams ia only nineteen years old, and
has a bright future before him.
We would not forget the children.
Mr. Huff, the pastor, would drill them
twice a day in singing. To see about
fifty little girls and boys neatly dreBs.
ed, singing the beautiful songs of
Zion, waa enough to soften the hard
est heart.
We are told that Poplar Springs
now has one hundred and thirty-six
members on ber roll. This church
baa made wonderful progress, both
spiritual and material, within the
last eighteen months. The people of
ibis community have been very sig
nally blessed within the last few
days. They have bad showers of
blessings, reviving the soul, and to
day we had a gentle shower of rain
upon the growing crops. We have
that promise In the 67th Psalm.
Those who Joined ibo church during
the meeting will be baptized on the
.'ourth Sunday morning in August.
W.
Host tho World Affords.
"lt gives me unbounded pleasure
to recommend Bucklen's Arnica
Salve," says J. W. Jenkins, of Chapel
Hill, N. C. "I am convinced lt's the
best salve the world affords. It
cured a felon on my thumb, and lt
never falls to heal every sore, burn
or wound to which lt ls applied." 25c.

Over Thirty-Five Years.
In 1872 thole was a gr at deal of
diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera In
fantum. It was at this time that
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was first brought
Into use. It proved more successful
than any other remedy or treatment,
and has for thlrty-flvo years main
tained that record. From a small
beginning its salo and uso has ex
tended to every part of the United
States and to many foreign coun
tries. Nine druggists out of ton will
recommend lt when their opinion is
asked, although they have other
medicines that pay them a greater
profit. It can alv.'ays bc defended
upon, even in the most severe and
dangerous cases. For sale by Dr.

$102,790.
In 1907 the railroad property In
the county amounted to $1,014,700,
and telephone, telegraph and express
companies $40,240. Estimating the
railroad, telegraph, telephone and

The figures for 1907 are correct,
as are also the real estate and per
sonal property for 1908. The 1908
fig.i res for railroads, etc., as stated
above, are not yet given, and we
have simply used the 1907 figures ns
approximating the same as they will
show for 1908 when made up In Sep
tember.
Taken as a whole the figures make
a good showing for Oconee. In 1907
the gain over 1906 was $388,930;
then 190S gains $102,790 over 1907,
making the total gain In two years
$491,720.
GOULD IS WILLING TO WORK.
Scion of Pleb Family Hunting Hard
for a .lob at Pueblo Mines.
Pueblo, Colo., July 27.-Kingdon
Gould, son of George J. Gould, ar
rived here this afternoon en route to
Cripple Creek, where he will work in
the mines to complete by practice the
education he received at the Colum
bia University School of Mines.
Young Gould was accompanied by a
professor of the college, who will di
rect the manner and mode of his ex
periments lu the Western mining
cn m ns.
The young man will leave Pueblo
to-night, but lt ls not known whether
he will go to Denver or go direct
to the gold camp from Colorado
Springs. He will probably spend the
greater part o? a mouth at Cripple
Creek.
One of the coalitions under which
the guide agrees to accompany King
don on his Western trip was that the
heir to the Gould millions would
forego all the frills of his home life
and "rough lt." Consequently he ls
without attendants; travels in the
ordinary Missouri Pacific passengei
conches and takes his meals at com
mon-place hotels and restaurants.
Once at the mines he will don the
clothes of the every-day "mucker"
and go underground to work ns If hil
livelihood depended on his day's la
bor. And probably it will.

PATRIOTIC Ff ARTWELL ERECTS
Beautiful Confederate Monument.
Five Thousand Witness I moiling.
Hartwell, Ga., July 25.-Five thou
sand people witnessed the unveiling
pf the Confederate monumeut in the
Court House square at Hartwell on
Thursday. All of the survivors of
the Hart county companies who/ went
to the front in the early .sixties 'form
ed in line and marched again to the
8oul-ln3plriug "Dixie," rendered hy
the Hartwell band. They ended their
march in the court house, where Con
gressman William H. Howard, the
popular representative In Congress
from the eighth Georgia district, de
livered a masterful address, which
was replete with classic lore and in
spiring eloquence. In a happy speech
he was presented to the large gather
ing by Arthur S. Richardson, Esq., a
prominent member of the Hartwell
har.
A magnificent spread was served to
the old veterans in the spacious Hor
ton building, and a general love-feast
and reunion was held affer the dinner
hour. Miss Wilma Skelton, the at
tractive and .beautiful young daugh
ter of Hon. and Mrs. .ian. H. Skelton,
with her maids, assembled at 12
o'clock around the magnificent monu
ment, and sang several patriotic
songs, after which Miss Skelton drew
the strings which revealed a perfect
beauty, chiseled fifo m Elbert county
granite, and which'will stand as me
mento of those days * which tried
men's souls, and to which Hart coun
ty contributed some of the flower of
her young maubood.
Hoy's Lffe Saved. /
My little boy, four years old,' had
a severe attack of dysentery. We
had two physicians; both ot them
gave him up. We then gave him
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
diarrhoea Remedy, which cured him,
and believe saved bis life.-William
H. Stroling, Carbon Hill, Ala. There
is no doubt but this remedy saves
(he lives of many children each year.
Give it with castor oil according to
the plain printed directions and a
cure is certain. For sale by Dr. J.

Somewhat Political.
(Springfield Republican.)
The reversal of the decision against
the Standard Oil Company, albeit a
surprise to the country, was fore
shadowed by the market Tuesday,
when shares which fell as low as
300 in the recent panic, made the
high record of $6:>0. Somebody
leaked. The judges of the United
States Court of Appeals for the Sev
enth district are unanimous, so it is
a case of three to one-Judges Gross
oup, Baker and Seaman against
Judge Landis. The politicians of the
country were taking notice yester
day and thinking over what political
capital could be made out of the sit
uation. If the courts are not plavlng
politics, they are doing things these
days likely to affect politics In the
long run.
Tropical Fisli in Northern Waters.
(San Francisco Chronicle,)
During the last few days an Im
mense school of barracuda, o semi
tropical fish, as well as Spanish
mackerel, has appeared In the wa
ters just off the ocean beach near
the site of the old Cliff House. Every
morning large numbers of these fish
swim up to the beach at high tide
and when the ebb sets In many of
them, are unable to get back .to deep
water and are left on the sand by
the retreating waves. During the
last week the residents of tho beach
have been picking them up by the
score every morning. The barracuda
frequent the waters cf Mexico and
Southern California In great num
bers, but are seldom seen this far
north, and the presence of this large
school ls difficult to account for. It
ls a fish of sliver gray, cften three or
four feet in length, with a long snout
and a slender body, lt ls thought
that the barracuda and mackerel are
driven in-shore by a school of large
whalen which has been sportin.tr in
the vicinity of the seal rocks for
some time past.
The Man to Marry.
"The man I wish to marry," says
a contributor to the August Design
er, "is one who would, if necessary,
when washday comes, roll up his
sleeves and bend his back over the
washtub; who would be the first to
turn out on cold winter mornings
and build the fires; who would be
ready to walk the floor at midnight
wltn a colicky baby; who would
spend many of his evenings at home
with me Instead of loafing around
bar-rooms, street corners or other
places of amu,sement, talking clap
trap and politics; who does not In
dulge In Intoxicants of any kind, who
does not consider that he ls IT. In
short, I wish to marry n mnn. As
to looks and age, while they count,
nevertheless they are a minor consid
eration."

She Prnycd for Grandma.
The little girl was very fond of
pleasant days, and at the close of a
heavy rainstorm petitioned In her
prayer for fine weather; when, the
next morning the sun shone bright
and clear she became jubilant and
told her prayer to her grandmother,
who' said: "Well, dear, why can't
you pray to-nlgltt that lt may be
warmer to-morrow, so grandma's
rheumatism will be better?"
"All right. 1 will," was the quick
response; and that night, a.-> rho
knelt, abe said: "0 Lord, please make
lt hot for grandma."
