McLen on while a young man ecame to Mer toro County, S. 0., wberie ne inarried mosteestimable woman. and they have eared a splendid fami'y.' Baxter was orn' and reared in Martboro county ,nd attended the- cuomnion county chools, also tbe graded school in Ben tettsville. -. I remembea him as a small boy, lack piercing eyes, rav~n black hair, nost independent, always true and >wal to his friends, but exhibited the ~reatest contempt fcr anyone, who ave him an affront or the colo shoul er. He was very iipJJsiv'e and rould 6ight at the "dro'p.cf a hat," anti ould drop it himself, he, wuen a boy rould never allow a smaller boy im kosed on in his presence, and was al rays the warm friend of the smaller >oy. In his young manho.-x, Col. 0. S. dcCall, that merchant prince, of Ben tettsville employed Baxter as salesman n his store, where he was for years he trusted and confiden;.ial clerk and riend of that successful business man. laxter attended a business college in Lugusta, Ga., where he thor'oughly quipped himself for o.fiice work, but 'e was res'2ess andI dis-atisfied. be ause God had called him when he was' 4 years of age to preadh THs eternal nd imperishable gospel. Ma, a's Ial ways call him-, went to' few York, where he studied t he tan orial busines's, returned to Bennetts -ille and opened shop, aed from the be -inning Cenjoyed a vast lacrative pat onage, but he was ress iag the plea:d ogs of the Holy Sririt. By this time Mac had developed into ,wild hardened sinoer, he kept game hickens and bull pups which he would Eght at night and on Sun de y's in the ear rooms of his barber shop. Hie ven engaged in the "linod tiger" bisi tess and had the teme: ity to operate a ride open "blind tiger" for quite a lie on one of the prin tipal streets in lennettsville. As a pokee card pla. er Ir.c had a reputation wbich extended nto other States, expert poker players ften came to IBennettsville to get in a ecret came with Mac, and generaliy hey had to borrow money from Mac to et out of town. -I was standing in six teet or Mae ~hen he twice shot a man;- who had iolently cursed and abuxsed him, one all struck a rib just near th'- heart nd was extracted near the back bone, s he fired the second time, I yelled at fac which caused his pistol to wavr ud the bullet missed. Since his con ersion, a prominent ci-izen of Ben ettsville grossly insulted Mar about is religion, and Mac smil-ri and said, raise the Lord for sust aining grace. lad this occurred before Maic's con ersion he would have knocked that aan through the plate glaes into' the trect..

McLendon is the wonder in modern evangelism, during this year (984) nine hundred and eighty four persons under his ministry in South Carolina have joined the shui-ch,.and something like t en thousand have professed religion. He is destined to electrify the Southern States with-his evangelistic messages, he fears not~man, and digs up 'sin and --crruption in high places, and "calls a *pade a spade." .a ths rah Some people get mda i rah tog but if they hear bimi throngh they .re always convinced that Mac is right .rdc is endeavoring to do them good od transform a wicked world.

Swift & Company, realizing fully the ;;sition of the southern farmer, have a~ lopted throuth their large Fertilizer Interests in the south a new plan to rolieve the cotton situation. Toey are certainly doing their share in helping the south by their large consumption of cotton cloth. Although already large users of cotton, cotton seed oil and other south ern products, they are making this year a special offort to increase the use of cotton goods in all departmen'As of their- numerous plants. Cotton bags, cotton sheetings, -and cotton coverings; for meats are being; substituted for other -material where ever possible. An ordinary year's re quirements for this fi-m amounts to over ten million yards, an I with their present "Help the iSouthi" poicy their consumption of cotton goods will be very largely increased.I One item alone, that of using Cotton instead of jute tainkage press cloths, has ad-led 300,000 yards to the Swift' consumxpnoo. To The Canning Club Girls. The Grimball Manufacturing Com pany, makers of ch ildren's and worn en's cotton dresses, will give a prize of two cotton dresses to each Canning Club in South Carolina for the two best compositions on "Why Children in South Carolina Shou'ld Wear Grim ball Cotton Dresse;." A few reasons: South Carolina is a cottonl State. G;rimball Manufacturing Co.,- is th e only factory in the State that makes4 children's dresses. Grimball dresses are made of good materials. Grimball dresses are made well, fit well, and wash well. Grirbball dresses are mnade in a clean sanitar-y shop. Grimball Manufacturing Co., employs only white native help. Prizes will be awarded J:rnary 15thi, 1915. The members of the Gui' Clubs will pteasa send me their compositions not later than January 10th, 1015. Katherine M. Richardson, Agt.

GAMBLE, .Sheriff Clarendon -Countgy TREES ALONG COUNTRY ROADS~ Not Only Useful as Shade to Stock ln Fields, but Add Greatly to Beauty of Thoroughfares. At a, recent farmers' Institute meet ing the planting of trees along the country roads was advocated. It -is~ a plan worthy of consideration every where. Trees beside country -high ways are not of less valne and im portance than along the streets of a: city.. They are not only useful as - shade to the stock in the fields and to those who travel along the roads, but they add greatly to the beauty:of the thoroughfares and are a distinct asset to the farmers by increasing' the attractiveness of their land, says an Illinois writer in Farmer's 'Re view. The theory of the speaker was that the trees should be planted inside of. *the road boundaries and not .on the frm land, and that the plantingshould be done as a part of the road improve ment at public expense or by local or-. ganiztons out of a common fund. The work would have to be done 'with system, of course, and provision made for the care of the trees once tliey were planted, but this system could easily be worked out. Objection might be raised in some quarters that shaded roads would yt dry out eas ily after .rains and would, therefore, be muddy at inconvenient times, but the proper training and trimming of the trees would remedy this diffculty. Every one, even -the farmer with out a shade tree on his premises, ad mits the attraction of a shaded road on a hot summer day. Every traveler on such a day greets a bit of woods or an overhanging orchard as an oasis in a desert land arnd 'U.shes that it stretches on for miles. The occasion al land owner wno has lined his side of the road with shade trees-or even. with fruit trees-is regarded by the traveler as a good Samaritan and blessings go out to him. The time will come, perhaps, when trees along he country roads are desirable. and essential and their absence will show ack of proper enterprise in the corn munity. Old-Fashioned Idea. Of course. there were, and still are in isolated localltdes, persons wlho lng to the bad roads of their grand ~athers, and resist any attempt to make improvements. These are those who also regret the passing of the pinnng wheel, and the domestic weaving loom, with which the wonten sed to make the cloth for clothing the ~amly. it Is wilful waste of money to spend It upon roads that are not given proper drainage.
