OLD MAN CHIPS RIDING AROUND THESE DAYS He Gives Interesting Story, of Summerland?Crops Good?Same Old Jolly Street. It was our good pleasure to attend the ninth annual session of the Lutheran summer school of our Sunday school workers which was held at Summerland female college, Leesville, S. C., last week. We were c-mryyr + l-i o f nllV + WJ1S so limited i5V 1 1 ttlUb V U A VAi?* v ? that we could only attend the session one day. Our three boys, Holland, Herman and Clyde, together with M. Z. Watkins constituted the party. We left pretty early in the morning but had to stop over in Prosperity a short while. Then we hit the grit for Summerland. The road did pretty well until we got to Cook's mill. But from there to the steel bridge it was a perfect shake up. This part of the country has had plenty of rain and the trucks and lumber wagons have got the roads in a perfect mess and I suppose no one had any time to drag them. After we crossed the river we found the roads better on the Saluda "* "? X - TXT _ ^4 side, so we made gooa ume. we >;ui over to Summerland at 10:30, the session had been open for about an hour, so we missed thes first part of the , program. We were met by Dr. Antine McCullough, one of our home boys whom we are proud of, and also the Rev. V. Y. Boozer, the Rev. J. B. Harman, the Rev. C. J. Shealy and the Rev. I. E. Long, who are' also our home boys and leading lights in the Lutheran church, and we are also -pr-oud of all of them. At 11 o'clock we were called in ] the assembly hall to hear Dr. C. L.' Miller of Greenville lecture on the subject of home mission. j Dr. Miller is a forcible speaker.! He showed some of the great neglect in our Lutheran church work in the way of establishing homes and churches in and around our state colleges and in our cities wherever our. Lutherans are scattered abroad. I After Dr. Miller's lecture we were rang in again to hear the Rev. J. W. j Horine, D. D. I Dr. Horine always seems to be full and running over. He never waits for a word. He is ready to answer a question as soon as it falls from the lips. His lecture was a music drill and on our common service which was right to the point. He said we should never speak of our offerings as collections. Then came the dinner hour and we i drove down to the vay rock spring! to eat our dinner in that beautiful' grove. There we met our former, pastor, the Rev. J. D. Kinard and, family of Johnston, they together; with their Sunday school at St. John's church had come over to take their j annual picnic outing. The pastor! and little band were just preparing to dine as we came up and we extend thanks to them for their cordial invitation to their bountiful feast,: but our little spread was already made and we had to refuse. But my, oh, how we did partake of their refreshing ice cold lemonade which' was as free as the water that run from that fine big spring. I enjoyed myself so well I felt almost like old Peter did when he and the Savior were up on the mount when Moses and Elias appeared and he became so overjoyed until he said to the Savior, "Let us build three tabernacles, one for Thee, one for Moses and one for; x Elias." But 3 p. m. was the hour to reassemble at the coliege and we made our way back to hear a most excellent lecture by Dr. D. Burt Smith- of Philadelphia on the work of Sunday scnooi training tne scnoiar. i Dr. Smith is the editor of the intermediate lesson notes and his lecture was full of interest. He is a school within a school. This ended my stay at Summerland. : I Summerland Female college is an institute which the South Carolina Lutheran church has a right to feel proud of. It is one of the most beautiful surroundings in every respect Ij ever visited. We couldn't come back home with- > out going up to Batesburg and then down to Leesville to take a peep at. those beautiful little towns. To say a heap in a few words there is no part to be found in South Carolina ' to excel this locality. I don't see | why they don't put the two little I towns together and make one fine J city, and I believe it will be done in the course of time. I must say a word or two about! the crops^ They are as fine as I ever saw all the way from Prosperity to j Summerland. The corn is somewhat! late, but if seasons continue there1 will be a fine crop. Down in our stone hills and piney, wood country the crops are more divided, also over on the Saluda side. | They raise more grain than we up country people and as a rule are more self sustaining. j Before I forget I must tell you that while over at Leesville I had -T W,T LJ2C piCdaui c ui mcrctiug injr viu friend, Dr. Jim Crosson, who is as / happy as a lamb. He carried we around and showed me the beautiful foomes of hi3 mother, Dr. Drayte's and his own. You never meet a stranger over in this country, they are all kind and courteous and always extend the ^liand of welcome to a stranger. Well, I can't hardly close without saying something about the barbecue at old Jolly Street last Friday. The editor was there and I know he will have a full report, but I don't give a snap. I know my old friend, Burr Leitzsey, and a few others will Have a curiosity to near wnat tne oia man has to say. Well, Burr, we were there tc a certain fact and there a big crowd along with us and we enjoyed one of Hayncn Xiblers good "barbecue dinners and we were not surprised ax that. The crowd was somewhat late in gathering:, the morning was threatening and as we drove up at 11:30 we _found the table filled and it seemed that the people were all hungry, some [ going in and some going out, so we j pressed forward to the stand and got { a ticket just in time before pork and! hash began to run short. And sure enough Haynon was not; quite prepared to handle the large i crowd that was present, but. Burr,! we got plenty, didn't we? I don't know how the editor came out but: you see he is a candidate and itj doesn't take much rations to do a fel-i low when he is a candidate unless he j is fixed like Claude-Schumpert, Can-: non Blease and Jim Halfacre. They; were all there and I think they enjoyed a square meal. I am due my friends some explanation why there was no speaking. Yes, I think I was instrumental in swell-j ing the crowd. My iriena naynom Kibler had asked me to act as chair-1 man in introducing the candidates,' and I had told a great many of myj friends that I >had arranged a nice' little program, that No. 10 had eight j candidates in the field and by the |< right of birth Col. Aull would come i in and make nine, and I intended to; give all our home candidates the first' ! lick at the crowd, but it seemed that ;'1 everything got in a whirl, right after:< dinner the crowd began to break;! away so fast until I made no ef- j 1 fort to call them together. 11 Friends, don't get it in your mind;that our candidates in No. 10 can'tM . speak for they were all just as full < as a tick. I < There were a few things that I ] would have loved to remind the peo-fi pie* of, first, that we still have an j 1 old Jolly Street notwithstanding the j i smiles of old Uncle Mell Singley, Dr.! 1 Werts, Uncle Drate and Bobb Liv-jl ingston and many others of our good j old patriots couldn't be seen around/ there any more. j i Another thing I would have loved I to remind the people of that this is, 1 campaign yeaj. j i Friends, I suppose that there' t is any of you who rejoices more in'^ this friendly quiet, unselfish cam-js paign than the one who is talking to s i you. * This is one of the most sudden ,f deaths that I ever knsw in the po-J litical arena so far as factional bit- \ tsiress goes. So let us all say amen j together. But we muss not Jose in-;f terest. There could be a negro in g i**e woodpile so let each elector arm 1 himself with a re^'sirati.in certifi Ji nlace his n?r.c on the club r;>!ljc and stand firm on the old Democrat s rock. We thank our friend P. W. Buz-1 hardt for a seat in his Chalmers to c and from the meeting ? T. J. W. ( July. 17. , i mm t FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH j I FIFTY YEARS AGO t .J1 W. T. Crews in Laurensville Herald, j J The other day a group of men were ( discussing the relative membership of j the different chu-grhes in our city?1 c the Presbyterian, the Methodist, the j c Baptist, the Episcopalian, and the A. c R. P.?and they seemed much sur- ] prised when told that as late as 1868'c there were scarcely more thaa a; t baker's dozen Baptists in our town,!t though now, probably, the largest in! ( membership of any church in our 2 city. A small wooden church stood I near where the present Baptist par- r sonage now stands, and if we remem- j 1 ber correctly, this little flock of Bap- j i tists had no regular pastor until after i the Rev. John D. Pitts ?moved from c Newberry county to Laurens. There! was a Baptist "local" preacher, the < 1 i , Rev. Mr. Grimes, who preacnea oc- i casionally in the little church, and, ^ there were not more than five Bap- 1 tist families living within the incor-! ( porate limits of the town?the Irbys,! i the Grimeses the Wests, the family of ] the late J. A. Lockwood. The little ; ( church was "supplied" occasionally $ by the Rev. Mr. JVPendenhall, Uncle ( Toliver Robertson and occasionally, t by Uncle Dicky Woodruff. Later on, j the Rev. Mr. Leavell of Newberry, a i ] young man who had just entered the. j ministry, supplied the little church; t now and then, and we remember dis-j tinctly that most, if not all, the mem-! > bers of that little Baptist church at- i i tended the Methodist church and1 ] Sunday school, and my first Sunday jc school teacher was a Baptist, Miss Martha West, sister of the late Enoch d West. ] After 1870, however, the member- ] ship began to grow, and it appeared as though every other new comer that c came to town was ei^^r a Baptist j or a Methodist, and so it was not ; long before the little church had a < great increase in its membership, j The greatest influx of new members, however, appears have been during } the early ministry of Mr. Pitts. As well as we cj\ remember, Mr. Pitts, < during the first years of his pastorate, supplied New Prospect church, < i the Huntsville church and Chestnut 11 T>i/3n>o TT-r? +/\ Hmo +.V>PrP VIAH i / WW biUU V4*4?V v ?*wW I > been no organs or any kind of musi-1 eal instrument installed in any of j ] ! the Baptist churches?at least in the country; so, when an organ was put; J in the church at Chestnut Ridge it|? created quite a "furore" among some ! j i of the members, and occasioned quite ; i a little controversy in The Herald be, tween Mr. Pitts and one of the lead! ing members or deacons of the ChestI nut Ridge church, but through the ; j persuasive diplomacy of Brother ] j Pitts all organ-ic discord was set- * J> "* * J * * 3 ilea Witnout serious inctron, ana we have not the least doubt that that little church organ controversy was the beginning of all the Baptist churches in the country installing ; this musical instrument. All the old j "tune histers" threw away_ their I tuning forks and got "the pitch" j frfrm the organ. And speaking of the Rev. J. D. 1 j Pitts, I believe I heard the second ?ermon he preached after being ordained; and it happened this way: j One of our worthy young citizens (that is he was young then, Mr. W. i C. P. Robertson and myself were "some gallants" in those days, so we went down- to Huntsville to see | Will's heart flame, who was visiting: | in the neighborhood, and finding that : she had gone to church to hear Mr. Pitts preach, of course we had to go too.
