(Green vii lo Nows.) Fifty-two years ago, on n moon shiny night i:i May, David Weston tliott w?s converted at ti camp-meet ing in Colloton county, und since that time nu.* lina been an active min ister of tho Gospel, establishing a record for continuous service which few if any other ministers in this section can equal, On ".hi.- Sunday night following his conversion young lliotl preached lils ilrst sermon, and since that timo he has boon pastor of lifty-ono churches. 'I wouty-flve of tho so churches aro known as town churches, while thc remainder were "country churches." At the present Mr. lliott is pastor or' tim Alice lin pt 1st church and also ol' Kcoweo, Barker's Crook and Cross hoads churches. Virtually all of his charges have been ia Anderson. Pick ens and Oconeo COlllltlos, although bc has served as pastor of several churches in Georgia, as well ns a few groups of churches lu tho lower part Of tho State. Mr. lliott, who was born in Collo ton county on .tune Li l, 1 S-~?2, receiv ed his Ilrst schooling in tho country schools of hts native county. He later graduated from the Colloton High School and then taught in the Waltorboro High School. He attended the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, which then was located in Greenville. Ile loft tho seminary in I STU. and since that time he has never returned to school except lo the school of lifo, which has. kept him busy preaching, minis tering lo tho dying and bereaved, of !'!. tating at marriages, organizing churches, taking an active purl ill fraternal organizations, and on ono occasion launching into the gnuie of politics. Mr. lliott was a candidate for Ibo ofilco of state Superintendent ot Kd ucalion on the' Sheppard ticket In IS!1-', his candidacy being brought by ibo conditions existing at that Hmo, and which arc fresh In Hm minds of many of thc older inhabit ants. While he received a nattering vote-approximatoly34,000 ballots -he has never again offered for of ilco, either State or county. Mr. lliott was roared a Methodist, and it was at a Methodist camp-meet ing that he was converted; hut he united with tho Baptist church. Tho Hov. George H. Poosor was preach ing, and tho testimony which so touched tho lad ns to alter his life's course was offered by Jamos C. Co ker, later a foreign missionary. On tho Sunday night following his conversion Mr. l-l io Lt preached his li rs t sermon. Ho doesn't rem cm ber the date oilier than that iL was ill .May, IS70, Since thal limo he has smvod as pastor of thc following town or city churches: Kour in Eas loy (Easloy Baptist, Goer Memorial, Glenwood and Alice), Toccoa, Mar tin, Pickens, Westminster, Seneca, Liberty, Central, .Norris, Caleechee, two at Williamston, two at llonea Path, Pelzer, Townvlllo, Pendleton, Wedgefield, Dudley, Holly Hill, Eu tawville and Simpsonville. Tho country or rural churches which Mr. H lott has served as pastor are: Corinth, Pisgah, Brion, Moun tain Springs, Fork Shoals, Shady Grove, Welcome, Dorchester, Eure ka, Hopewell, Lebanon, Neals Crock, Parker's Creek, Broadmouth, Little Uiver, Kooweo, Mt. Bethel, Bethel, Grahams, Hopslbah, George's Creek, Corinth Xo. 1, Griffin, Cross Hoads, Mt. Carmel and Secoua. Although reared in the lower part of the State, Mr. Hlott lias formed on attachment for the Piedmont which cannot ho broken oven by time. When a young man he heard of this section of the State, it being pic tured by ono of tho mission s?cr? tai les as "tho coming section of the Sut io.'' Tlie description marlo such an impression upon tho yotii g min ister that he wanted to cast bis lot in tho Piedmont. When a student lil tho seminary at Grocnvillo Mr. Hlott was invited to preach at Liberty on ono occasion, and laier was called to accept tho pastorate of that church. From that time on lils churches and friends throughout tho Piedmont havo grown by leaps and bounds. While he returned to Holly Hill on ono oc casion tho old appeal was too strong and after an absence of about two years ho returned to mako his homo In Pickens und Anderson counties, in view of tho Hine Ridge mountains aiid in the editor of one of tho gar den spots of Dixie Land. Has Baptized Over ??.OOO. Mr. lliott lins baptized moro than Huco thousand persons in tho fifty two years that ho has been a minis ter. Ho has also officiated at funer als in moro than eighty burial grounds. Ilowovor, ho ls unable to glvo even an estimate of tho number of funorals ho has conducted. Llko wiso ho lina kopt no record of the number of marriages performed. On ono occasion Mr. Iiiott received 1L'"> members lalo tho church at Shady (?rovo, In Andorson ounty. Ho baptized 03 persons on tho last day of the mooting. Ile received one en tire family Into tho church, baptiz ing all of them without any ass.-t ance. Ho also baptized all the mem bers Of another family with the ex ception of one. On Aug. s, 1876, Mr, Illott was married to .Miss ?311a IS. Martin, of tills section. They havo nine chil dren, as follows: Mrs. John A. Ter rell, .Mrs. lt. S. Long, Misses Addie und Marlo ll lott, and live sons-Cary and Whitsett, Edgar W. and Hairy and Julian. Mr. Iliott has taken an active part ttl the various fraternal organiza tions to which ho belongs and has been honored by all of them at vari ous times. He is chaplain of rho Ci rand Lodge of South Carolina Ma sons. He ls also a Past Chancellor of ibo Knights of Pythias, and i; n Sovereign Representative of the Woodmen of tho World. Pickens county was tho second ((?linty in the State to abolish tho legalized sale of whiskey, about a score of years ago, and lt was Mr. ! Iliott who led in this light. Wltilo Pickens followed only Cherokee in this respect, the prohibition move ment has spread until not only all of the State, but the entire nation, luis fallen into tho "dry" column. To converso with Mr. Iliott is to feel something of his personality, and one is not left in doubt as to why, throughout the years ho has been so successful In dealing with men. A big heart, a broad smile and a witl ing hand ever stretched forth to help . a falling brother, fail to properly ex press this man. He is all that-and moro, too. Newspaper men, accustomed lo minglo with tho extremes of society ' as well as the middle stratas of hu manity, .feel the difference in con versing with a niau of Mr. Hiott's! personality, hut lind themselves un- ? able? to convey thc thought that oc curs to. them. Asked what was his favorite piece of verse or prose, Mr. Iliott produced a slip of paper entitled "Tell linn Now." The words are so full of the truth of life, as well as of good and sound advice, that they are passed on as being expressive of the kind of I i man this individual is who for more than half a century has give') his life and service for others. Tho little vei'53 follows and makes a more appropriate close to this story than anything we CDU.J write - Toll Him Now. "If with pleasure you are viewing Any work a man is doing If you think somo praise is due him now, Don't withhold your approbation Till thc parson makes oration And he sleeps with snowy lilies on his brow; For no matter how you shout it, He won't really caro about it Ho won't know how many tear drops you have shed; If you think some praise is duo him, Now's tho time to pass it to him 'For ho cannot read his tonihstone when he's dead. More than fame and more than money Is tho comment, warm and sunny; And tho hearty, warm approval of a friend; For lt gives to life a savor, And it makes you stronger, braver, And lt glvos you heart and spirit to tho end. If he earns your praise, bestow it; If you like him, let him know it Let tho word of true encourage ment bo said; Do not wait till life If over. And he's underneath the ?over, For he cannot read his tombstone when ho's dead." Tlioy Can't Save tho World. ( From Hu tier Herald. i One thing ls certain and that ls that this world will never bo savol by mon who work only elgin hours a day or less. Thomas Edison says: "To-day 1 am wondering what would havo happened to me hy now if, f>0 years ago, soino fluent S poa K or had convorted mo to tho theory of the oight-hour day, and convinced mo that it was not fair to my follow workors to put forth my best offorts In my work. I am glad that tho eight-hour day had not been invented when I was a young man. If my lifo had been made up of oight-hour days I don't believe I could havo accom plished a great deal. The country would not amount ns as much as lt does Sf tho young men of fifty years ago had heel! afraid Hwy in ig nt earn moro than they were paid Thero wero some shirkers in those days, to he sure, but they didn't boast of lt. Tho shirkers tried to conceal or ex cuse his si iftlcssncs and lack of am bition." RHUBARB Off OF BEST PRODUCERS Early Spring Vegetable Responds to Liberal Supply of Best Soil Available PLANT IN OUT-OF-WAY PLACE Along Garden Fonco Where Roots Will Not Be Injured In Cultivation of Rest of Garden Is Good Location. .Rhubarb, or "pieplant," ns It is Bometlnies called, cannot be grown uni versally, but is limited to certain defi nite sections. Information ns to whether rhubarb will or* will not grow In a given locality can be obtained from the local seedsmen or from neigh bors who have had experience In grow ing lt. Rhubarb is propagated by planting pieces of the roots secured by divid ing older hills, und six to ten hills will usually supply plenty of rhubarb for the average family, states the United States Department of Agriculture. Rhubarb should be planted exactly the sumo way as asparagus, that ls, the roots or crowns should be covered four or live Inches in deeply spaded Rhubarb a Generous Producer. and well enriched soil ; there la little danger of having the soil too rich for rhubarb. The hills should be three ! and a half to four feet apart, If more than one row ls planted. This wonderful staple of the family garden can generally be planted ulong tile fence where it will be out of the way of cultivation. Thc thick leaf stems are the part used, and none should be pulled from the plants the first year after seeding, but a large supply will be available the second season, and the hills will, as a rule, continue to produce satis factory crops of stems for several years, after which they should be di vided and reset. Rhubarb should rccelvo thc same ftt'.utlon and treatment during win ier ns asparagus, and the plants should never be allowed to ripen and seed. The roots may be brought Into the greenhouse, pit, coldfrnme, or cel lar during the winter and forced. Dy placing a barrel over n rhubarb plant much longer and tender stalks may he grown. This ls one plant that does not thrive In warm climates. It is most popular, especially in tho sections where it ls grown, in the enrly part of the spring. The use of rhubarb is principally for making pies and sauces, and many housewives cnn the stems for winter use.
