Under the auspices of the Pee Dee

What a difference? People preaching
the universal brotherhood of man, '
..nd killing each other by the mil-1
|lions. Jesus preaching that some people
are hogs, saying, "Do not cast,
your pearl before swine". No won-1
dor there is some confusion in a con- j
fused brain about some things! But'
to the man who knows and wants to
know the truth, it is all very plain;
to such a man Christ told us what
we see with our eyes and hear with
our ears every day; but the universal
! brotherhood of man is a lie, and every
thinking man knows it. However,
we are all brothers in Adam, the first
sinner, and the fact that crimes!
stain the pages of history proves it.
And there is a christian brotherhood;
hut both are entirely different things.
Can't you see it.?
The biggest preacher in South Carolina
will hold a week's protracted
service the last Sunday in May at |
the Presbyterian church, the fifth |
Sunday. The Rev. Dr. Miley is a big
man in body, big in mind, big in his
[great heart. He writes us to invite the;
other denominations to the service:
because he is working primarily for
the Kingdom of Christ which consists
of all evangelical churches. In
this service a Presbyterian will do:
the preaching; Rev. Mr. Hooker, of
the Methodist church will assist him 1
and lead the singing; and you will
j hear some of the best prayers you |
lover listened to by tho Baptist. If We,
(had other churches tn our commun- .
lity you would hear also from them.!
i Dr. Miley not only draws a crowd
I when he holds such services, but peo-(
pic do not soon forget the wonderful
impression he makes. Dr. Miley!
is very busy. These services only last
la few days. If you want to hear him, i
leome at the beginning, as you may,
not get a seat later in the week. The
jSynod of South Carolina has paid Dr^
jMlley to come here. This is not a|
[money meeting; not a Presbyterian'
(meeting, but it is rendered in the!
I name and for ihe sake of Christ's I
j kingdom in the world.
; The readers of The Herald will be
giieved to hear of the death of another
little son of Mr. and Mrs. S. E.
Brunson, who live near here. On
Tuesday of last week, little Joe was!
buried in thc Florence cemetery, and I
at the same time a younger son who
was very sick was taken to the Florence
Infirmary and left with Dr. Mc,t.eod
for treatment, but it was seen
frotn the first that his case was hopeless,
and on the following Wednesday
[the younger child died, and was bur-i
led beside his brother on Thursday,)
this making two deaths in the same)
family inside of a week. Mr. Brun-j
ison who has been married twice, lost
all his first children, there being four'
;of his first children and this one
which has last died makes three of
his last children, and seven In all.
One of his children by his last marriage
died a few years back with
.whooping cough. Thoee who have lost!
children by death know how to sym-1
jpathize with these parents who have'
jbeen called on to drink this bitter)
cup.
! For some time the Town Council
lias been been certain that a great'
jdeal of "Monkey Rum" was being'
.brought into thb town and being soldi
j especially wag it so on Saturday. And1
now and then wc had good reason I
? Koiipvn that not. only "Monkey !
i Rum" was being dispensed, but fine:
whiskey as well; so on last Thurs-j
I day night Deputy John McCraeken 1
I caught one Mr. Walker of S-avannah,
iGa. with a lot of "bottled and bonded"
fine Scotch whiskey between midInight
and day up near Bingham,
I there being quite a lot of whiskey,1
jand two men in a big Buick runabout, j
The haul was so large and there be-'
ling two of the men, Sheriff McCmckien
saved the whiskey but his men.
.made a get away. McCraeken mana-i
|gpd to get his whiskey to Latta, and.
turned it over to nome other partiesj
who took it to Dillon, woke Sheriff
Bethea up, took a splendid car noted
for speed owned by the sheriff, put
gas and oil in it preparatory for a
long trip, went up the road to where
Mr. Walker turned around in the
road near the town limits and took
hifl trail which was easily done, and
just, as easily kept all tho way to
Cheraw, wherty Mr. Walker was tak
THURSDAY, MORNING, MAY lfl

Ion county jail, wherte he afterwards
put up a cash bond in tho sum ol
$1000.00 also losing his fine Buicl
roadster, and his load of fine Scotcl
whiskey. Several of the young me*
here state now that ho has mad<
mr.ny trips to this place, and thai
they know his whiskey to bo of t
real fine quality. Mr. Walker sem
word to the boys here that he hac
made his last trip to this section, anc
mai mey wouia not get any more 01
his famous "Dew Drop." W? ar<
under obligations to Sheriff Bcthet
and his deputy, Mr. McCracken, foi
their faithful performance of duty
and as long as he wants his job, anc
performs his duties as he has done lr
the past he will get my vote. And
I am willing and anxious to helj
make up a fund to buy Sheriff Bethec
a loving cup and have it promptlj
presented to him.
The Epworth League rendered ar
unusually interesting program lasl
Wednesway evening May 11th, at it?
regular devotional meeting. The
subject was one of particular interest
to all Methodists just now ?
Christian Education. After the devotional
portion of the program the
leader Miss Gertrude Manning spokt
Krinf l\f r?rnn f ?m0??a
ui ivti/ vu uic gi cau i^ouCj liisisiiug
that the emphasis be placed on both
words Christian Education, as real
education, must be christian and
thorough. Miss Christine Berry then
read an excellent paper on the "necessity
of preparation for leadership.81
She pictured the success of the greatest
Bible heroes and historic figure!
and noted their preparation. The
most interesting feature of the Program
was the debate, "Resolved:
That church colleges render grcatei
service than state colleges." Mrs,
Hoyt Watson spoke on the affirmati\c,
hinging out strong points as tc
the great men end leaders graduated
from church colleges, and gave indisputable
statistics about the Ministry
Missionaries, etc. She stressed the
fact of the origin of schools in th<
church, and noted North America*!
success as compared to South America's,
because the Pilgrims souglil
God, and the Spaniards gold. Sh<
emphasized the effort of the churct
colleges to train to make lives rather
than a living, character ratliei
than perfect machinery. Mrs. Kat<
Rogers debated the negative and
proved conclusively that the Stat<
colleges ministered to those who oth
erwise would have to go without or
account of finances, and she called
attention to the equipment of Stat<
colleges to give thorough training
She brought the argument of the per
manancy of early childhood ideali
and stressed the necessity of the child
being grounded in faith before h<
goes to college. Mrs. Rogers then paic
a glowing tribute to the atmosphere
of her Alma Mater, Winthrop Col
lege. Throughout all Mrs. Rogers in
sisted that the Christian Educationa
Movement was timely and that shi
would rejoice when its financial sue
cess had mad e possible for churcl
colleges equal or superior equipment
The only decision rendered was tin
consensus of opinion that splendi<
and strong points were brought ou
by both speakers and that all woul<
rejoice at the success of both typei
of colleges as there is a place foi
each. The League usually has goo<
instructive programs and would b<
encouraged by the attendance of al
interested. It meets every Wednes
day evening at 8 o'clock.
