The funny fel low who brought the ad singrly said, "Tell your readers to watch your pa- I per Friday. somethings going to hap pen. and to be ready.'' a We along with the populace of the V county anxiously await the clearing THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION. lembers Should Be Encouraged to Do Greater Things and Not Dis couraged.-Election Officers. The Civic Association will meet at lie rooms of the Chamber of Com neree on Friday afternoon at four >'clock, instead of Wednesday. This s the time for the annual election of ieers and it is hoped that the mem >ers of t'he association will be pres mnt. The association has accomplished a -reat dleal since its organization, and vhile it may- not have done every hing that it planned, the members hould be encouraged to move for vard. In all movements of this kind here -are many discouragements at ;he beginning and success caL only -ome by continued effort and a dis -egard of obstacles that may be hrown in the way. There are al vays those in every community who tre ready to disparage efforts of this cind, but we hope the ladies will not >e discouraged, but will turn out in :ull force with a new determination 'o do even greater things during the -oming year.

D.,) Nearly everybody is influenced in' heir coming and going by a rainy ay. This on any day of the week, >ut when a rainy Sunday comes it is :o comfortable to rest after a week if toil tihat few are dispo:sed to turn >ut in the rain even to go to the iouse of God. Breakfast is late and o good .elothes must not be exposed o the rain and mud, and a quiet ime is had at home. However, some tways .come to the sanctuary, stormy hough the day may .be, and are -eady to take part in the worship di 'ected to~ tfhe God of all grace. And ueh was the case at Central Chureh ~n last Sunday. A lawyer from Pe ersburg, Va., a traveling man from ttlanta and a small group of stu tents and of our members met and re entered upon --ur services. Not a ady was present. Our commercial traveler took his >lace at the piano and we sang and hen after the usual prayer and read ng of Scriptures I preached -the reg tar sermon prepared for the great ongregation. It had reached 12:13 nd the rain had ceased when our ervices closed, and still we remained o talk ''of those things'' quite while and went away to think of the -iissitudes of this life and of the 'sure support' in Him who revealed he divine in t'he human. A little more zeal for the public vorship and for the house of God ~ould bring its reward. An Effcient Official. Mr. John K.

FAitor Herald and News: We have seen whnt Mr. Krell has to say in regard to Mr. John Henry Chappell's loss by fire recently; and heartily approve of his sentiments. Being members of The Farmers' Mutual 'Fire Insurance Company, we beg leave to say a few words and offer a suggestion through the col umns of your valuable paper. Inasmuch as Mr. Chappell, has been a member of the company in good standing and paying his dues promptly for a number of years and having never noticed the clause in his policy, that now deprives him of the, protection that he thought he had all the -time, we, as membters of the companiy, do not think that h' should lose his insurance. And since under the constitution and by-laws of the company he cannot. collect it, we want to propose to our secretary, Mr. L. IL Epting, to send each member of the company a statement of .the dues that he or she would have been called upon .to pay in case there had been ne "clause'' to make the polidy void and sta-te the nature of the case to each one, and say that the paying of the assessment must be entirely vol. untary. And we feel sure that -there will be enough paid in to very nearly i-f 'not quite, pay his claim. Mr. Chappell, we feel, has done as much Qr more to bring to justice, a2d keep down these midnight incendia ries -than most any other one man in the county, and we feel that his fearlessness in dispensing - justice to criminals, has been the means of his suffering -these losses by fire. And we .do not think it right that he should lose so much with no aid, and hope that our suggestion will meet with favor and be carried out. We will gladly send in our dues. Respectfully, L. S. Henderson. S. N. Henderson. Blairs, S C., Nov. 5, 1909. Attention 0O'Neall Lodge K. of P. The members of O'Neall Lodge K. of P..
