Rev. J. A. Sligh Has Served One Con gregation as Pastor for -'orty two Years. On last Saturday at a meeting o the joint council of St. Paul's an Colony Lutheran churches in thi county, a call was extended to thi Rev. J. A. Sligh to serve the congre gations as pastor for another yeaz Mr. Sligh has accepted and wil preach at St. Paul's on the first ani third Sundays, and at Colony on th second and fourth. This concludes forty-two years o continuous and active service by Rev Mr. Sligh as pastor of St. Paul's. L fact, we believe it was his first pas torate, and while he has served othe churches in connection with thi church, and has built as offspring of St. Paul's four or five Lutherai churches in that part of the count3 he has continually served the peopl at St. Paul's as pastor during a] these years, and now enters upon hi forty-third year. This covers mor than a generation,.and in looking ov er the congregation on Sunday w could not recognize one of the mem bers, who were officers and leader of the church when Mr. Sligh too] charge forty-two years ago, and it i a long time to serve one congregatior and practically all of the membei ship of the church now is compose of those who were -baptized and con firmed by Mr. Sligh. There are a fe-m but a very small few, of those stil left, who were members when he en tered upon his pastorate in this eon gregation. Though nearly seventy two years of age, he is still a stroni and vigorous man and preaches wit that enthusiasm and vigor, whic marked his discourses in his younge days. On last Sunday he preached forcible sermon and then admitted t the congregation seven young person by confirmation and administered th communion to probably two hundre members of his church. It was our pleasure to be with thes people on Sunday morning, and on thing that iw(pressed us probabl; more than anything else apart froi the services was the large proportio of the congregation being compose of young men and young women jus entering upon the active duties o life. This section of the county is largE ly composed of white people and smal farmers, and we are pleased to not the evid4nees of prosperity whie: seem to prevail on all sides. Tb rops from Newberry to St. Paul' seem to be fairly good and espec.iall; is the corni crop very fine. We wis howev.er, that we could impress upo the farmers of this section the ini portance and the advantage of givin more attention not only to the conm fort of their homes, but to beautify ing the yards and painting the housei This is a fine section of Newberr county and is composed of hard worlb ing honest and upright citizens, an if a little more attention were give: to home comforts and.home surround ings, the tendency for the young me: to leave the farms would not he s great. We need in this county mor small farms rather than large lande estates. Special Services. Rev. J. T. Miller, pastor of O'Nea Street Methodist church, will begi a series of meetings in this chure with his services next Sunday morn ing. Service will continue for on week, and t,here will be preachin twice per day, afternoon and evening Mr. Miller will be assisted by Re' W. P. Yarborough, the evangelist. Caught a 'Possum. Mrs. W. H.

F The regular meeting of the Coun I tv Farmers Union was held last Sat 5 urdav. There was good attendance and much enthusiasm was shown in the work of the union in this county and grim determination on the part of I loyal members to stem the tide in the I decline of price in cotton. Resolu tions to this effect were enthusiasti cally adopted. After the trahsaction of many mat ters of interest to the organization in the county the following action was - unanimously taken: Whereas, the October condition re port upon the cotton crop issued by the government, the unprecedented falling-off in the ginners' reports, and from all informaltion neceiver) from all sources of the probable yield and the extraordinary demand for the 3 staple have strengthened and justifi ed the position taken by the National Farmers Union at its recent meeting in Little Rock, Arkansas, that we urge with all the emphasis in our power upon the entire membership of the Farmers Union in this county not to sell any cotton below the min inum price of 15 cents the pound; that those members who produce the upland long staple cotton are equally bound by this action; that we have. a right to expect absolute loyalty to the action of the National Umon, and we look with disfavor upon any dis loyalty. In accordance. with this action by the county, the president and secre tary and executive committee were authorized to issue a statement to the membership urging fidelity to this decision of our national and county unions. a The election of offieers for the next year resulted as follows: W.

As Result Is Severely Cut and Runs 1 Out of His Shoes and Coat. Nathan Suber and his wife had not lived altogether pleasantly togetsh er for some while and he had gone t away and was living with Mr. Jno. C. Hipp two miles south of Newberry while the wife remained at Spearman t row in the suburbs of the city. On s Friday night, however, Nathan de- E termined, it seems, to pay a visit 3 to his former home and to see his t wife once more, whether for the pur- a pose of wiping out old scores and j starting life over again or not is not t known. It seems, however, that he e had not notifted his wife of the pro posed isit. When Nathan arrived at his for mer home he found the door'closed and it was not promptly opened in response to his knocks and he forced an entrance. He also found Belton Henderson at his former home. Belton lives some two miles away on Mr. Neel's plaee. Nathan was not pleased evidently at i the visit of Belton to his wife and he proceeded without ceremony to make f his displeasure known by pouncing t upon Belton with a knife and giving , him several very ugly wounds. As soon as Belton could get away he made his escape through the cotton fields and on to the residence of Dr. Ellisor. He was bleeding profusely and had literally, according to his story, run out of his coat and shoes for he was barefooted and coatless. He says he wanted some fire to light his pipe and had come some two miles to get the fire from Nathan's wife. Of course he could not smoke with out fire and where else could he get fire so conveniently and then he re mained -to fiave a social talkr of course neither Belton nor the wife of Nath an expecting the husband to make a eall that evening. Dr. Ellisor took Belton to his office and sewed up the wounds. He does not think the wounds serious but Bel ton was badly cut in several places. No report has been received of the interview between Nathan and his wife after Belton was so unceremon iously asked to depart. Aveleigh Presbyterian C.on1gregation. The congregation of Aveleigh Pres bytria'n church has not yet elected a pastor. At a meeting held on Sun day an invitation was extended to the Rev. S. L. Wilson, of Ninety-Six,1 who has been preaching for the con gregation for several weeks, to con tinue preaching for them unitil a pas tor could be secured. He will con tinue on the second and fourth Sun days of each month. Through the kindness of the Luth eran Church of the ])edeemer, which has been tendered to the Presbyter ian congregation, these services will be held in that chureh. I WILL PAY CASE for old clothes .for ten days. . Watts' Raeket Store. Throws Away Anually $A0,000OO. Miami (Fla.) Record. An offeial in the agricultural de partment who is wegl versed on the subject of cotton seed has estimated that the farmers of the South lose annually $25,000,000 by not market ing their cotton seed. His estimate is gained through the following facts. An average erop of 12,000,000' bales will afford a yield of 6,000,000 tons of cotton seed. The cotton seed mills of the state report annually that of this amount 3,500,000 tons are crushed at their refineries. This will leave a clear 2,000,0003 tons of cotton seed which are either thrown away, left to lie on the ground and rot, or as in olden days, the seed are placed in the ground as fertilizer. It is estimated that out of this amount of seed wasted there is $2, 000,000 worth of lint, whieh is used for all sorts of practical purposes, and $25,000,000 worth of cotton seed oil which is never extracted and re fined, which Dr. MeCandless states is of no earthly use as a fertilizer. This experiment, with this state ment of the waste that is going on around the country, will doubtless ause more cotton seed to be placed on the market.

The coming of age of Miss Gladys randerbilt and the payment to her f some twelve millions of dollars nierited has brought out a new crop f anecdotes about the Vanderbilt ortune. One of the latest illustrates he democratic spirit of the old corn nodore.
