Last week wc published a few j w?'rsr.< from tho pen of .lohn M. Adger j Modally, "The Angel of the Rain"- | A heailtiful ?ilea for the bestowing of; the blessing of showers to relieve; the ?Mstress of a drought verging upon the point of hcrionsness. We do not 1.1 i sen MS the propriety of the publica tion of such petitions. That is a mat- i ter for consideration by the Individ ual. We do believe in the efficacy of Kirayer, without which belief, to our mind, the whole structure of faith and religion falls. lt is sn (Helen t, at least, to stale tXvii within the past few weeks many prayers have ascended for the bless ing of rain, and it is encouraging to th? believer in prayer lo know that bountiful blessings in the way of co pious showers have fallen not in .hit superabundant measure de scribed by the faithful old preacher '?>f the hills as "a gully washer and trash mover," bul in gentle showers ? vontinuing in such manner as to in dicate Divine direction. We lay no claim to any marked de gree of piety; il may even be that our prayers, like the prayers of all tb-t! wicked, "avail nothing." Yet we hud consolation in the belief that "the prayers of the righteous avall eih much," and in the old record which tells ns that if perchance ?nut a few righteous ones were still lound to remain in a wicked city, for their sakes the whole city, wicked and righteous together, would be .spared. So we prefer to cling to the old-time belief in prayer and its effi cacy, through I he medium ol' which saint and sinner together share the blessings that cometo mankind. We might even, without impropriety, paraphrase a portion of Mr. Mulla'.ly's petition into an acknowledgment of the blessings that have come: We thanh Thee, Lord, once more, Kor blessings, clear and plain. Relieving our distress so sore Through Thine Angel of the Rain! forgive distrust, doubt, disbelief. Help us to show our gain in better life, in better self, We thank Thee for the rain!

New Hope, May 22.-Special: A j deep silence and great darkness came into the home of Mrs. E. P. Wood, of j this section, when her beloved son ? passed away to that great beyond. A | voice they loved to hear is hushed; a j presence which was bright in the home is gone from them to that ?ter- | nal home ol' the blessed. God sent his angel on Saturday | morning. May 1.1, to bear away tho spirit of Grady Wood, a loving son i and brother. His life had been an inspiration to many, for he carried sunshine with him always, with his cheering words for everybody. For i several months he had been a suf ferer from tuberculosis, and as his friends mel and talked with him we heard no complaint. His suffering was borne with the spirit of a true i Christian. In cally life bo gave his heart to] Christ, and always felt, it his duty to be useful in his church work and at home. We feel that we have lost ono rn' our i>ost members at New Hope. There is a vacancy in every depart ment that cannot be lilied, and a bright and happy taco ls no more to lie soon. But In our hearts and minds we have a fond picture of the man. Grady Wood was born in Spartan burg county on October I fi, 1800, and was brought to this county when unite small. He is survived by his mother, three brothers and four sis ters. Funeral services were con ducted by Rev. Willie Hammond at New Hope Baptist church on the day following his death. Many gathered around to take a last look Into the loved face and sympathise with tho heart-broken family. The beautiful Howers that covered the grave were but an earnest of the tribute of great love that is paid to him. The sympathy of the entire com munity goes out to the bereaved ones in their groat, sorrow. Every Home Needs "First Aids."

SHORT SKETCH OF JOHN A. HORTON. ( Rev. I), w. Miott, In Pickens Sentinel. ? John A. Horton, ot' Helton, now a candidato for Congress from this dis trict, was horn ll years ago, on a farm near Neal's Creek church, in Anderson county. When he was old enough he worked on the farm in summer and went to school after crops were laid by, and in this way prepared himself for college. He worked his way through school, teaching during vacation, and grad uated from the Patrick Military In stitute, in Anderson, in this institu tion. Cinder the instruction of Col. .1. 13. Patrick, the great and good Chris tian teacher, young Horton had the principles of honesty, honor a.ul duty lu all things deeply impressed upon him. These principles hau been taught him by Christian parents in the home. Now they were more per- J manen I ly Hxed in the very founda tion of his character, and when Hor ton left the school he went into the school-room as a teacher, and into Hie store-room as a salesman, and later into the mercantile business with his father at Relton. The prin ciples of honesty, honor and duty guided him in buying and selling goods, and he succeeded. When the Kariners' Hank was or ganized at Bellen in 1903 Mr. Hor ton was elected cashier, and so faith fully did he discharge his duties and prove his ability to manage the busi ness of the hank that he was pro moted from cashier to president In 1908, and under bis management the bank has done well and has accommo dated many farmers in the commu nity, as well as others. People who have dealt with his bank will tell you that they have had a square deal. When the subject of this Bketch was quite a boy it was my pleasure to receive him into the 'fellowship of j Neal's Creek church, and I am glad to hear that he has been a consistent member and active worker in the church and Sunday school. While every man ought to, and must, stand on his own merits, yet it is not against a man to have good and honorable kin people. So In the case of John A. Horton--he has good and honorable kin people on i his father's and mother's side. His father and grandfathers were sue- j cessful farmers. He has two uncles who are honored and successful law yers in Atlanta. Ga., and his brothers ' are successful business men. Ho is | closely related to the Majors and ; Nongs, successful farmers and bust ness mon ol' Anderson county. His, wife was a Miss Tale, of hilbert coun ty, (5 corgi a, closely related to? our popular fellow-citizen, IO. W. Tate, ol Norris. Dr. W. M. Long, of Lib erty, married a sister of Mr. Horton. Should Horton be elected to Con gress ho would (ill the seat ol' one of our most honored and lamented rep resentatives, who was a kinsman of bis by marriage. I refer to the la mented Ashury CVLniimer, who was, perhaps, one of the most popular men among the masses of his district. Horton's friends do not claim for bim I he gift ol' great oratory, but they do claim for him honor, integ rity, fidel it y to duty; that he is a business man of fine ability, a man from the people, ol' the people and for the people; a man who has worked himself up and who knows the needs of the people. Ile pledges himself, if elected, to do his best for for all the people as God shall give | him light to see his duty and grace I and strength lo discharge the same. I - Adv.
