MORSIS NESS, Wananier. COMMENCEMENT SERMON OF DAVIS STATION SCHOOL Davis Station, S. C. June 4, 1917. The Rev. Dr. W. B. Duncan, Pastor of the Methodist church in Manning, preached the commencement sermon of Davis Station school at Bethlehem church on Sunday. The graduating class numbers four, two boys and two girls. They listened with marked at tention -to the excellent sermon ad dressed to them. Dr. Duncan's subject was "Char acter Building" and his text was from II Peter, 1 chapter, verses 5-7. And besides this, giving -all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge tem perance; and to temperance patience; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity." A few of the leading thoughts of the sermon follows: Character-good character-is the finest thing in the world, the thing of primary importance. Character is a matter of growth, of increment-in a word, of adding. On this respect character is like a building-we must get the materials together and then add one to another. The foundation of any worthy character is faith, faith in good, faith in self, faith in uiankind. Without faith, we are at a standstill and do nothing. But we are required to go further, and add to our faith virtue. Now "virtue" cones from the latin word virtus which real ly means courage. By virtue the old Romannant interchangeably goods ness, strength (or courage), worth whileness? The proper thing to fol low faith is courage. We believe, therefore, we must be courageous so that we shall not be disobedient to the heavenly' vision. Next we must add knowledge, the thing that human beings were put into the world spec ially to get. As we gain knowledge we grow more and more in harmony with God's universe. Education does this for us. We must not expect to acquire education without paying its price. We win at the expense of many things-time, effort, strength, as well as money. We are next to add temperance, which means moderation in all things-a wise self vestraint and control. Then patience (which from the Latin patior, means suffer ance) with others-with ourselves too, not becoming discouraged over our own faults and misdeeds. We must, lastly, grow, so far as possible, into the image and likeness of God, or godliness is only God-likeness. The preacher in conclusion earnest ly exhorted his young hearers to strive for a perfect and complete structive of character, so that at last not an entrance, but an abundant entrance should be ministered' unto them into the kingdom of heave. The school closes on Friday next and commencement exercises will be held on that date, beginning at 8:30 P. M. The names of the graduating class and titles of themes are as follows: Atticus Richbourg, "The Part oA the United States in the Great Euro pean War." Leslie Wells, "The Call of America."

LET EVERYBODY WORK FOR MANNING TOBACCO MARKET The tobacco season will soon be on in South Carolina. We expect the markets to open up two or three weeks earlier than they did last year. "Manning" should be every business man's watch-word. The Manning to bacco market and the farmers that grow the tobacco need your undivided support. The local warehousemen cer tainly cannot do all that should be (lone. The Manning tobacco business is a big thing for our county and town. If there is a business man in the town of Manning that belongs to the croaker class and cannot see how the towvn is helped by the local tobacco market, even though he is beyond the age limit required by Uncle Sanm, he should be a law~ to himself and volun teer andl go to the front andl face German shells until he gets some common gray matter in his cranium. The local warehousemen wvill pay out p)ossibly a quarter million dollars to the farmers. Buyers come here in large numbers, buy the tobacco andl spend money. Manning is situatedl in one of the best tobacco territories in the State andl every business man in our city should pull for a greater Manning and a larger tobacco and cotton mar ket. 'Tobacco has built large cities in North Carolina, Virginia and Ken tucky'. I haven't any patience with a citizen that has not got the spirit of cooperation. I (10 not like to hear of a man saying it is up to the fellow that runs the tob~acco warehouse to get the tob~acco here. Every petrson in Manning is helped either dlirectly or indirectly. The Manning market needls better facilities for handling the tobacco. We need more prize houses for the buyers. The local warehousemen should be coop~eratedl with by our business men that have the sites andl best locations for these b)uildlings. Other markets much younger than Manning have these buildings wvhich are indispensible to a tobacco market. The crop looks very promiising now andl we hope the town will make a sp~ecial effort to make this the larg est andl best year in its history. Citizen. CLARIENDjON COUNTY SHORT COURSE Court House, June 14th, 15th, and 16th. Year before last we heldl the Clar endon County Short Course at Sardi ala and last year at Sumnmerton.

IManning being the central point it will give the people of the whole coun ty a chance to learn Canning and Dry ing of Fruits and Vegetables.

Holladay near Bloomville. She was a long sufferer but bore her illness with great patience. All that loving hands and medical aid could do was (lone but God tn His wisdom doeth all things for the best. Dearest sister thou has left us, Although we miss her still, A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled. It is sad that one we cherish, Should he taken from our home, But the joys that (10 not perish, Live in memory alone. All the years wve've spent together, All the happy golden hours, Shall be cherishedl ini remembrance, Beyond the doubtless and hopes and fears, Beyond the cares and joys and tears, Beyond the smiling and the wveep Ing, Beyond the wvalking and the sleeping, Our loved ones rests in slumber deep), In silence and eternal sleep. A loving sister, Emnma H-olladay.
