STORIES OF Ol lt SOUTHLAND.
(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

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

Bat he caught a tartar in hi* second
wife. 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.

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.
