The farms are small but well tilled and the land though rocky and rough in places is very productive. The farmers are well to do and prosperous, because as a rule they have always Collowed the plan in farming of first producing on the farm what they needed to support the farm, and even when the price of cotton was very low they had money ;and were.independent, uecause j they did not depend on the western market for their bread and meat and l endeavor to raise cotton to buy i hese things, and now that the price of cotton is high they are reaping the harvest. Stoney Batter for which the township is named was a very famous place in the early days of the nine" * a- J teenth century ana was located on the Holley's ferry road'about two and a half miles from what is now Prosperity town, and was some two miles distant from the St. Lukes church. It was the birthplace of James H. Hammond afterwards one of the governors of South Carolina. Hammond's store was a famous place! away back before the revolutionary war and was the scene of a battle in which Col. Washington engaged and defeated a band of tcries driving them back to Col. Cunningham who was then at Williams fort some thirty miles distant on Mudlic, according to the recoi liSt. Lukes Lutheran cjhurch was organized and dedicated about 1828 or 1829, by Rev. Schwartz who was on - a missionary tour, and was afterwards served by him as pastor. The congregation now numbers some 400 members and is one of the purely rural churches that supports its own pastor and has service every Sunday. The parsonage stands close by the church and is a handsome two story building which has recently been repainted. And I understand that the congregation has but recently increased the salary of the pastor to meet in some degree the increased y . In This I A 4 fc'Vv " The Supe i elusive.

The congregation at the present time is served by the Rev. W. H. Roof who is doing a good work, and has all the interests of the church harmonized, and he is a strong and forceful preacher of the Word. The Sunday school is flourishing under the superintendency of Mr. Alvin Pugh and one can scarcely find in another congregation so many boys and girls. All of the good old DutchIrish stock to the manner born, which makes such a good and sturdy citizenship. Near by the church stands the school house, neatly painted and presided over by three teachers, which indicates that these good people are awake to the importance of the education of their children. I hope soon to see a real rural graded and high school in this community. They have the children and they have the money to build it and maintain it a ad there is no reason why they should not have it. I was there on last Sunday by the invitation of the pastor a,\d by direction of the committee in charge of the drive for Summerland and Newfn r?r#>s?nt the CaUSG uci i y w j ~ of these two institutions. Many of the young men from the congregation have been students and many are alumni of Newberry, and many of the girls students of Summerland, and the people are interested in the schools of their church. I told them of the opportunity that was now offered them to do something worth while for these institutions, and something that would help them in the doing, and I am satisfied that they are going to / do even more than the synod has said would be a proper and equitable thing for them to do, and the Sunday school under the direction of Superintendent Pugh is going to do more than its part. At this service the program arranged for the special occasion of presenting the needs of these schools was used, and it was well rendered showing the interest of the congregation, and after a short sermon by the pastor I made my talk. The colleges are going to hear good ?-or^Y"+c frnm St. Lukes unless I am 1V|/V4 VW db* ^ greatly disappointed, and I do not believe that I am. These good people were never known to fail in the performance of their duty, and in this vital matter they will stand by their church schools. They could not do otherwise.

Newberry college especially is not only a high class Christian school, but it is a great asset for the town and the county of Newberry, and the Lutherans of the county should demonstrate their interest and appreciation of the college by the manner in which they come to the call at this time.
