Al ready the horizon looks brighter than 0 a it has been in the past months. Tak- t ing into consideration the fact' of short crops and low prices I feel it1 my duty to make some reductions in my business; also hoping that my customers will have in mind at this season of the year being a cash season enables us to make some reductions I in price, especially on horse and mule shoeing. I will give you first elas.s fi shoeing on plain work at 65 cents bn round; half round 35. Thanking all 0 of my patrons for the kindness and ni support in advance,g Respectfuilly yours, P S. K.

The. alarm of fire was tiurnledl iII tundaY niglhi about 11.:.o o'cloek. It -as the dwelling gc cupied by J1oe illiains. who lives .just beyond the icorporate limits on the steel bridge Dad. He says that the fire eriginated i the kitchen from the stove flue and hen it was discovered it was too ite to save any of the furniture to mount to anything, and that he and is wife barely managed to get out efore the building fell in. They had tired sometime before that. The building was a two story frame uilding and was erected and occu ied ior many years by Mr. P. N. vingston. Sometime ago the pro Prty was bought by Thomas A. Wil ams, father of Joe, and it has been ecupied by Joe Williams since that me. The building was probably worth rom $1500 to $2000 and Thomas Wil ams carried an insurance policy with ohn Scott's agency for $1000 on the ailding. Joe Williams had a policy 1 the same agency on his furniture r $800. The fire department turned out but s the building was beyond the city mits the nearest hydrant was too ar away for the department to be of ny service as the, hose would not each near enough. BETTER EQUIPMENT NEEDED. fr. Ackert Can Get Specifications il Necessary-Travel Good. Sometime ago the railroad commis Loners directed a communication to ie management of the Southern rail ay calling attention to the poor guipment on the Columbia and reenville division. Mr. Ackert, general manager, re lied stating that he would be glad )r the railroad ct,mmissioners to pecify, that so far as he knew the -hedule had been made promptly and 1at they were as fast as it was prae cal tc have them for local trains, eing a .out 24 miles an hour includ ig stops. We think that the plea of e railroad commissioners is justifiect nd if they want specified instances bey might be referred to the pas nger train for Greenville on Sun ay, November 22, when it was delay l for two hours at Chappells on ae ount of. the failure of the engine. gain on November 27th the engine ave out between. Pomaria and Pros erity and the morning train from Co imbia was delayed nearly two hours. The travel on this branch of the' outhern railway justifies better uipment and if the railroad commis Loners have authority to require it the management they are justified doing so. All of the trains on this ivision, even from Newberrj to do-f imbia where the local business is oall, are usually crowded. We have nderstood, however, that it is the urpose of the management to put on rger enignes as soon as the roa ~'ed ill justify it. That rumor, however, as been going around for more than year and nothing yet has been done. Watts' Racket Store.

Services at Central Methodist Church -Sermon by Rev. J. E. James The Orphans Remembered. TPhaniks.zivn IV! e~rvice was held in the t ( alti%il Methodi-t chrebl on lost Thursdiay nining. Rev. J. E. James, pastor of the First Presbyteria-n church, preached the annual Thanks giving sermon. Rev. Mr. James divided his sermon into five topics. What we have to be thankful for as individuals, as a city, as a State, as a. notn, and as a church. He said that as individuals we had more to be thankful for than we could possibly mention in the time allowed, peace, plenty, and prosper ity had blessed most of the lives of our citizens: as a city we had made noted progress, three new churches had been built during the year since our last annual Thanksgiving ser vice was held, the beautiful new court house had been built, many of the streets had been paved, and the improvements of the city were to be noted on every hand: as a State we had advanced along educational and moral lines and there had been no great disasters save the recent floods but there were many causes for thanksgiving; as a nation we had had no such disasters as had occurred of ten in past years, no yellow fevei scourge, no earthquake disaster, noth ing of especial save the great North western forest fires: and lastly as a church we have been moving forward and it is evident that the whole world is becoming better, that the kingdom of Christ is advancing to thi.ends of the world. Mr. James said that he was convinced that no political party had much weight in turning the bal ances in favor of prosperlty or adver sity. He said ir, 'is opinion had Bry an been elected president of the Unit ed States there would no more have been a panic than the election of Taft has restored business to its normal conditions, but that it was plainly to be seen that the Lord was behind ev erything. He is greater than any po litical party, and He and He alone holds the prosperity of a nation or na tions in His own hands. Mr. James preached a good, earn est, thoughtful sermon and the con gregation was more convinced at its close that there are indeed .many. things to be grateful for. A collection was taken at the close of the service for the benefit of the various orphanages. The orphanage of the A. R. P. church received the largest contribution. While the of fering was being taken Miss Ethel Boozer delighted the congregation by singing very sweetly "Jesus Lover of my soul.'' NOTICE OF ELECTION.

G Nance-Eloquently Urges Im- N provement of the Rural Schools. Ilet ill tile livW (-ollrt h111e fil Satur- 1 d1ay. AI tlis I ollowing S officers for the enising year were IN elected: J. S. Wheeler, president; r. L 0. Counts, vice-president; i.,s Mayme Swittenberg, secretary. The main feature of the meeting on Saturday was the address of Miss Mary T. Nance, president of the Rural School Improvement Associa- I tion of South Carolina. Miss Nance, who is one of the most enthusiastie workers for the improvement of the rural schools in this State spoke on S the influence of these schools. She made a most earnest plea for the im provement of the rural schools and i said that first of all the school should be made a home and a Chris 'tian home, and if it is many of the homes will be modeled after it. Af ter the home is made it must be beau tiful without and within. It also should be a comfortable home and clealy kept. In order to accomplish N ben rerults Miss Nance insisted that it was necessary to consolidate weak -r schools and to levy an additional tax where the school term is short. She insisted that until the school term is lengthened and a compulsory attendance law is passed by the leg- G islature it will be impossible to have a successful school. The. average school term in South Carol,ina is only four and a half months. The ad- C dress was very helpful to the teachers present and it is hoped that they will all return to their work with renewed S energy and a determination to make the school and home beautiful within and without, attractive to the pupils and neatly kept. At the conclusion of the address of Miss Nanee a County School Improve ment Association was organized with the following officers: Miss Sudie Mae Boulware, president: Miss Ethel Dun can, vicespresident; Miss Helen Smith, 1 secretary; Miss Essie Pearson, 'treas urer. -Miss Elizabeth Dominick was appointed organizer for the county. Miss Dominick will also represent the T association at the State convention which meets in Columbia during the holidays. Misses Sudie Boulware and Isoline Wyche were elected delegates to the ~ teachers' association which meets in Columbia the latter part of this month.A Don't miss the special Wednesday night sale frome 7 to 9 o'clock.
