(Continued from Page One.) WO a t -< mi ins long-winaed ser-: mens, and when another preacher was invited to fill his pulpit always closed: with an exhortation as long as the' sermon. One day at Smyrna, after a lengthy; discourse by a visiting preacher,' "Uncle Jimmy" arose.and opening the! Bible in a new place, began to exhort sinners. My father said that himself and several other members of the congregation got up and started down the uisle to leave. "Uncle Jimmy" waited until they neared the door, when he closed the Rihie or.a *...? dfred out, pointing to the truants. "All of you who were drunk yesterday can go and get water while we sing." Once a gay party of young ladies and gentlemen from town came to Smyrna to a big meeting, gaudily dressed, and during the services began to whisper and giggle. "Uncle Jimmy" pointed them out and administered a severe rebuke, telling them that if they could not behave in church to remain at home andkeep away from Smyrna, as their room waa worth more than their presence. After services one of the male escorts of the party approached " Uncle Jimmy" outside the church door and said: "Mr. Dannelly, I will let you know sir, that those were respectable young ladles you singled out in church today for rebuke and I will say to you that if you do not apologize, your clerical robes and wooden leg will not protect you." "I am glad you corrected the impression that those young women made on my mind. I took them, from the manner they behaved in church, to be some strumpets you young men had picked up-on the street and desecrated the house of Ood with their presence. And now, young man, in regard to your punishing rne I will say, that in my younger day I used to be something of a scrapper. I drank and committed all manner of sins. In fact, I lost my leg running a horse race on ,Sunday while hglf drunk. " Now, if I some of the brethren will hold my (coat, in about sixty seconds fwHl give that young puppy socta threshing as he has not had efnce n>n father took him into the woodshed." These 9 tmeiit. . a I jyoung folks did not attend any more revivals at Smyrna. But "Uncle Jimmy" once got the worst from a visitor to camp-meeting A gaily dressed young man from the court house attended services and took a seat in front of the pulpit. He began twirling his gold-headed canc while ^Uncle Jimmy" was in the midst of a sermon. Stopping short in his discourse, the old preacher remarked, pointing to the young man: "My young friend let me say to you there are no gold-headed canes in Heaven." The instant retort was, "Yes nor wooden-legs, either." During a camp meeting at old Smyrna "Uncle Jimmy" was half sick and broken down. Turning the pulpit over to a young minister from a town church, he told the congregation that he would retire to his home and rest that night, as there Beemed to be a very cold and indifferent feeling. The new minister delivered what he thought was a powerful sermon and on calling for mourners, the altar rail was crowded. So elated was he! that he sent a delegation to the home of Brother Dannelly, who lived near by, to bring him to the tent to help pray for the vast number of penitents. The old man reluctantly" left his bed and walking into the stand, looked upon the mourners, strung around the rail. After taking a good look at the penitents he turned to the young revivalist and remarked: "Bud haul, my young brother. Throw cut your net and try again. I have been converting that same old gang regularly at every camp meeting for the past ten years and they are not worth trying to save. The last one of them will forget before the end of the week all about your prayers, and be drinking, gambling and frolicking." With this verdict "Uncle Jimmy" turned home, leaving the young minister to do his own converting. In his latter years "Uncle Jimmy" married a second time, to an old maid from Anderson county, who had been exceedingly kind in nursing him while he was rIoIt Hnrin<? on?>/> ~* ui ?- mm. ? ? !

Once when the old man walk- i eo up the steps of old Smyrna church to fill his appointment he found his c pulpit occupied by his wife, who was telling the congregation what a Tile old hypocrite their minister was. * "Uncle Jimmy" stood for about a minute in the doorway, listening to the abuse by his better half, when he hobbled back home and left the pulpit to her. This old minister is burled in the Smyrna graveyard, but the inclosure around the grave, and even the mound, have long since disappeared. He- was a remarkable man of his day and generation, and ranked as a preacher along side of Lorenzo Dew. o Dillon Post No. iiii, Tlie American Legion. . The delegates that attended the State Convention of the American Legion at Newberry ?ept. 7th and 8th returned with reports that this was the best meeting that had ever been staged. The good people of Newberry welcomed the visiting Legionaires in their homes most cordially. Members of the Legion who had attended previous conventions were unanimous in saying that this meeting surpassed all others. The point of getting all ex-service: men in the Legion was emphasized.! I there being about twenty-seven thous-J jand ex-service men in South Carolina,] I while only about four thousand are, j members of'the Legion. Dillon Post I No. 3 2 has a membership of 64 while | it should have a membership of two hundred. We would urge every ex serIvice man in the county to join the i Legion, either the Dillon Post or the Latta Post. I Dillon had a full representation at the Convention and all the delegates were unanimous in saying that Newberry is the second best town in the' state. | - | Cypress Shingles.; I have just received a large I shipment of No. 1 Cypress shingles at prices which prevailed before the war. 1 also carry a stock of Cedar Shingles.
