H-ayne Leavell preached a very able and a very timely sermon t t-h.e First Baptist church on Sun day morning. t It was out of the ordinary but very pplicable to the day and generation n which we live and we wish every one in Newberry could have heard it.

(Corrected by Nat Gist.) 'Good Middling .............10.40 Puzzled Him. Cincinnati Enquirer. Thomas A. Edison had finished an automobile tour of Pennsylvania and was condemning the Pennsylvania road, which he declared tEo be the worst in the country. The topics of roads led naturally to the topic of traction, and Mr. Edi son recalled a Fijian who had once inspected a railway with him. Mr. Edison took the Fijian all over a ra. .d yard and described every thing. A railroad lecture two hours long was poured into the chieftain's ears. "At the end the usual question, 'Now do you understand?' was asked, and the Fijian nodded in assent. "But at the same time he pointed to a freight that was sliding back and forih in front of him, the loco motive first pulling the train up the track and then pushing it down again. " ' understand everything,' said the Fijian. 'One point, though, is not quite clear. Look at that freight train over there. :Now I understand perfectly how the locomotive pulls the cars down the track, but I can not comprehend .how the cars pull the locomo'rive up.'
