* 7 ? ?V J A. R. P. YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE GREAT MEETING. One of the best * conventions ever held by the Y. P. C. U., of the A. R. P. church is now in session in Newberry. A large delegation is present representing almost every A. R. P. church in the State. In the abV m sence of the president, Rev. W. W. Parkinson of White Oak, Rev. R. C. Grier of Columbia, is presiding. Miss Agnes Anderson of Columbia, is the secretary. The first session was held Wednesday morning at 10:30 when a large and interesting congregation greeted the delegates. The formal welcome was given by Mr. John Higgins, to \ *wnich the chairman responded in * suitable words. Rev. R. A. Lumrtius of Edgemoor. delivered a very able address on the subject: "lnei ^ Call of the Hour to the Young Peo- i P^e of South Carolina for the Conse- \ >w * cration of Life to the Service of ^ God." Dr. J. Alvin Orr of Pittsburg, j \ Pa., gave the first of a series of ad-! ^ dresses. The subject of his first address was: "My Life Plan of God." \ It is not often that a Newberry audi ence has the privilege, of hearing such an able speaker as Dr. Orr. He has a most^earching and appealing message and will be heard with grow ing interest. ^ One of the pleasing features of the convention is the social hour spent at the church where a bountiful J 1 L * ?J tVio OC fif I uric II IS SCIVCU kJJ bUb IUU1W, congregation. The afternoon session was full of interest. Rev. W. P. Grier spoke on God's call to specific service. The moderator of the Synod, Hon. G. S.1 Mower, LL.D. spoke the greetings of | the Synod in a timely and helpful message. Rev. M. R. Plaxco spoke in a very interesting way about -the ^ v principles that should guide in the so-called secular professions and avocations of life. ^ A crowded house greeted the speakers in the evening. Prof J. C. s, <, Kinard delivered and. impressive z speech on the potentiality of education, and Dr. Geo. B. Cromer spoke \ ' on the reflex influence of joy in edu cation. This was an able address on a phase of education that is not often discussed, and the address of Dr. Cromer made a strong impression on the young people. The closing adJ dress was given by Dr. Orr on the | ? '* subject: "How May I Find God's Plan for My Life?" This address * J nn all nnoe. maae a aeep impicooivu vu ?u ent, and some of the ministers and young people remained to discuss . "with the able speaker some of the <rjestions raised in the address. Thus , ended a great day and the day to fol low promises just as, great things.. | The closing feefesion of the convention will te' held on Thursday even ' - 1 - -'--v :vri.'J ing an devery one wno can pusaiuiy, do so should hear these able addresses; The closing address of the con./ vention will be by Dr. Orr on the V theme: "The Fruit and Joy of a Yielded Life." ^ SEMI-ANNUAL* DIVIDENDS [ PAID BY NEWBERRY CONCERNS l ** ? ... ?? Somehow we have been unable to ^ print before t this, as has been the custom, the semi-annual dividends i paid by Newberry institutions. It is interesting to note that these cor porations ?tre making money for the (shareholders and it is matter of congratulation that all of them seem to be prospering. A few issues back we * noted the nice dividend paid by the r -Farmers Oil mill. The following; are some of the divj ; idends paid on July 1 to- those who | are so fortunate as to own stock in these flourishing institutions: i* The Commercial bank 6 per cent. * on $50,000.00. i- The National bank 5 per cent, on F $100,000.00. The Exchange bank 4 per cent, on $100,000.00. ; The Peoples National bank of Prosperity 4 per cent, on $25,000.00. The Bank of Prosperity 4 per cent. \ fcrn $25,000.00. . " The Farmers and Merchants bank, I Little Mountain, 4 per cent, on $20,k 000.00. The Newberry Cotton mills 5 per .cent, on $600,000.00. i ? The IVtollohon Manufacturing com | pany 5 per cent, of $484,200.00. I The Oakland Cotton mills 4 per cent, on $335,000.00. All of these are semi-annual dividends. The Prosperity Oil mill paid an annual dividend of 8 per cent, on its capital stock. ' Thece dividends put a right nice little sum in circulation. Of course some of it went back into the sav* ings department of the banks. Unless we are mistaken in our calculation these dividends amount to ; something around $78,000.00, a -? pretty nice little sum of itself. ; ?
