Dominant in an area larger than all of the United States east of the Mississippi river, j situated 3,767 feet above the sea level, the only large city along 2,000 miles of Mexican border, and the main gateway to Mexico, El Paso. Texas, to quote from a pamphlet, is "The most progressive city in the State of Texas and the largest city in the 'Rocky Mountain Southwest' south of Denver, west of San j Antonio or Fort Worth and east of Los Angeles?a city of beauti- ! ful homes and magnificent busi-1 ness builbings, and of boundless! business opportunities." This is the city near which I the Fort Mill and other soldiers from South Carolina are en-, camped, seven miles out of the mesa, their camp being over! 4,000 feet above the sea level. El Paso has a population of 70,000. and is the natural me-1 tropolis of the northern States of Mexico, as of West Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. The pass by the El Paso route over the Continental Divide, is the lowest between the Isthmus of Tehauntepec and the Artie Sea (a distance of 4,700 miles) and is open the year round and free from storms. Four transcontinental railroads cross the divide at this point and a great many overland automobile routes. | Eight railroads centre in El 1 Paso. The primary resources of El Paso include mining, agri-1 culture, livestock and timber: !

The city takes toll from the heavy tourist travel across the continent and into Mexico. Orphan Work Day. The custom has grown up of having one day in the year set aside as Orphan Work Day. That means that all friends of the orphans work on that day and that whatever they make little or much, they send to various denominational orphanages. More and more the custom has spread until now it means a great deal to the orphanages. This year, September 30th is orphan work day. Whatever you make on that day, if you are a Presbyterian, should be sent to Thornwell Orphanage. Clinton, S. C., for it is the Presbyterian orphanage of Georgia, Florida and South Carolina. Many children, fatherless , and motherless, are there from your State, and they are being trained in hand, head and heart. If it were not for Thornwell Orphanage they would not get this training. Will you not, then, set yourself to work on the 30th, and get \ others to work, and send that day's income to your little brothers and sisters, who must be cared for, and whom you love to help? Remember the day, September 30th. Cut this out and read it to the members of your family. NOTICE OF ELECTION.
