Sligh Has Served One Con- ] gregation as Pastor for Fortytwo Years. f On last Saturday at a meeting of f the joint council of St. Paul's and I > Colony Lutheran churches in this i county, it call was extended to the i t He v. J. A. Sligh to serve the congre- t ! nations as pastor for another year, i Mr. Sligh has accepted and will 1 c preach at St. Paul's on tho first and c third Sundays, and at Colony on the t t second and fourth. < This concludes forty-two years of 1 continuous and active service by Rev. i - Mr. Sligh as pastor of St.. Paul's. In t fact, we believe it was his first pas- t , torate, and while lie has served other churches in connection with this , church, and has built as offsprings j of St. Paul's four or live Lutheran j - churches in that part of the county, 3 he has continually served the people J at St. Paul's as pastor during all - these years, and now enters upon his - forty-third year. This covers more ^ than a generation, and in looking ov- . . cr the congregation on Sunday we . i could not recognize one of tho membcrs, who were officers and leaders of the church When Mr. Sligh took i charge forty-two years ago, and it is a long time to serve one congregation, . ' and practically all of the membership of the church now is composed r of those who were baptized and con- . I firmed by Mr. Sligh. There arc a few, , but a very small few, of those still left, who were members when he en tercd upon his pastorate in this con- j ? gregation. Though nearly seventy5 two years of age, ho is still a strong and vigorous man and preaches with 1 that enthusiasm and vigor, which ' 3 marked his discourses in his younger 1 - days. On last Sunday ho preached a 1 I forcible sermon and then admitted to * the congregation seven young persons 0 3 by confirmation and administered the . communion to probably two hundred } > members of his church. , It was our pleasure to bo with t'hese ( 3 people on Sunday morning, and one 1 thing that impressed us probably ,] - more tlinn anything else apart from ( > the services was the large proportion t . of the congregation being composed r of young men and young women just i i entering upon the active duties of a . life. ( r This section of tho county is largoi ly composed of white people and small t b farmers, mid we are pi eased to note v the evidences of prosperity which j ? seem to prevail on all sides. Tho ( r crops from Newberry to St. Paul's ,, seem to bo fairly good and especially - is ilu? corn crop very fine. We wish however, that we could impress upon i the farmers of this section the imr portance and the advantage of giving 1 > tnore attention not only to the com-- c ? fort of their homes, but to beautify- * ing the yards and painting the houses. 1 ? This is a fine soot ion of Newberry county and is composed of hard workt ing honest and upright citizens, and if a little more attention wore given J < to home comforts and home surround- $ ings, tho tendency for the young men t i to leave the farms would not be so j $ great. Wo need in this county more \ small farms rather than largo landed r ! estates. ? } [ Special Services. , Rov. .7. T. Miller, pastor of O'Neall t Street Methodist church, will begin a series of meetings in this church , with his services next. Sunday morn ing. Service will continue for one * . week, and there will be preaching 1 ? twice per day, afternoon and evening. * Mr. Miller will lie assisted by Rev. ' \V. P. Yarborough, the evangelist. . ( Caught a 'Possum. 1 1 Mrs. W. II. Harris, who lives in ' West Friend street, near tho depot, thought she had been annoyed with 1 rats, and in order to yet rid of at ! least some of them, she sot her steel * trap in the kitchen, which is in the ' 1 basement part of the house. Instead 1 " of a rat yesterday morning when she ' came to examine tho trap, she had ! 3 caught a very live o'possum, which is r about half grown. < t ' At Central Methodist Church. ( Dr. .Tno. O. Wilson, of Oroonwood, will fill tho pulpit of Central Moth- 1 odist church next Sunday morning and evening. I Tho Sunday school hour has been ' changed from five o'clock to four. ^ All tho women of tho church are 1 requested to meet in tho church par- ' lors on Wednesday afternoon at four 1 o'clock. There will bo praver-meeting on g Wednesday evening at 7:45.

Stand Firm for Fifteen Gents. 'rhi! regular meeting of the Couny Farmers Union was held last Satirdny. There was n good attendance uid much enthusiasm was shown in lie work of the union in this county md grim determination on the part of oyal members to stem the tide in the leciine of price in cotton. Kesoluions to this effect were enthusiast ially adopted. After the transaction of many maters of interest to the organization in lie county the following action was inanimously taken: Whereas, the October condition rex?rt upon the cotton crop issued by lie government, the unprecedented 'alling-off in the ginnors' reports, uid from all informaltion neceivei^ rom all sources of the probable yield uid the extraordinary demand for the taple have strengthened and justifi:d tihe position taken by the National \armers Union ivt its rocent meeting n little Ilock, Arkansas, that we irge with all the emphasis in our >owor upon the entire membership if the Farmers Union in this county mt to sell any cotton below the min11111m price of 15 cents the pound; hat those members who produce tho iplai.d long staple cotton are equally ionnd by this action; that we have i rijiht to expect absolute loyalty to lie action of the National Union, and ve. look with disfavor upon any disoyalty. In accordance with this action by he county, the president and secreary and executive committer were uithorizcd to issue a statement to he membership urging fidelity to his decision of our national and ounty unions. The election of officers for the next ear resulted as follows: W. C. Brown, president; S. P. 'rotwell, vice-president; J. B. O'Neall lolloway, secretary-treasurer; Rev. I. J. lvong, chaplain; M. H.

Nathan Suber ami his wife had not livcmI altogether pleasantly togeth- pt or lor some while and he liad gone |() away and was living with Mr. Jno. C. u\ Ilipp two miles .south of Newberry ,lt while the wife remained at Spearman t)] row in the suburbs of the city. On sc> Friday night, however, 'Nathan do- g, temrfned, it seems, to pay a visit 3(j to his former home and to see his t0 wife once more, whether for the pur- IU pose of wiping1 out old scores and j>( starting life over again or not is not ta known. It seems, however, that he or had not notified his wife of the proposed visit. j. When Nathan arrived at his for- ,r| mer home he found the door closed ?u and it was not promptly opened in response to his knocks and he forced an entrance. He also found Helton Henderson at his former home. Belton lives some y, two miles away on Mr. Neel's place. Nathan was not pleased evidently at jri the visit of Bclton to his wife 'and he proceeded without ceremony to make ?0 his displeasure known by pouncing ^ upon Helton with a knife and giving him several very ugly wounds. As soon as Bolton could get away he made his escape through the cotton fields and on to the residence of Dr. Kllisor. He was bleeding profusely and had literally, according to his story, run out of his coat and shoes oo for he was barefooted and coatless. He says he wanted some fire to light his pipe and had come some two miles to j?et the llro from Nathan's wife. ^ Of course ho could not smoko with- ^ out tire and where else could he get ^ fire so conveniently and then -lie remained 'to have a social talk, of course . . % ai neither Bclton nor the wife of Nathan expecting the husband to make a call that evening. J)r. Kllisor took Bclton to his office and sewed up t'he wounds. lie docs p. not think the wounds serious but Bel- g, ton was badly cut in several places. No report has been received of the interview between Nathan and his p. wife after BeMon was so unceremoniously asked to depart. Aveleigh Presbyterian Congregation. The congregation of Aveleigh Presbyterian church has not yet elected a pastor. At a meeting held on Sunday an invitation was extended to . the Kev. S. L. Wilson, of Ninety-Six, }1 who has been preaching for the congregation for several weeks, to continue preaching for them until a pastor could be secured. He will continue on (he second and fourth Sundays of each month. Through the kindness of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, which has been tendered to the Presbyter- ^ ian congregation, these services will be held in that church. p I WILL PAY CASH for old clothes C<1 .. for ten days. j Watts' Racket Store. Throws Away Annually $25,000,000. Miami (Fla.) Record. ag An official in the agricultural department who is wejl versed on the cr subject of cotton seed has estimated that the farmers of the South lose annually $25,000,000 by not marketing their cotton soed. His estimato n( is gained through the following facts. An average crop of 12,000,000 m bales will afford a yield of fi,000,000 tons of cotton seed. The cotton seed mills of the state report annually that of this amount 3,500,000 tons C(] are crushed at their refineries. u This will leave a clear 2,000,000 j) 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 a, as fertilizer. m Tt is estimated that out of this rv amount of seed wasted there is $2, 000,000 worth of lint, which is used ^ for all sorts of practical purposes, and $25,000,000 worth of cotton seed oil which is never extracted and refined, which Dr. McCandless states is of no earthly use as a fertilizer. This experiment, with this statement of the waste that is going on around the country, will doubtless cause more cotton seed to be placed on the market.
