Flint Hill News.
The manv friends of Mr. T. F.
Davis will be pained to know
that he is quite sick. Acting
upon the advice of his physician
he will leave today for a hospital
in Charlotte.
Austin Kimbrell, of Newport
News, Va., has been spending
some time with relatives in this
community.
Annie Laurie, a little daughter
of Rev. and Mrs. J. R. Smith,
was painfully burned about the
hands and arms with concentrated
lye Sunday afternoon.
Mrs. E. L. Bailes has been
sick for some time but is much
improved now.
Quite a large congregation
attended service at Flint Hill
Sunday. The revival meeting
that was scheduled to hecin at
Flint Hill on the second Sunday
in next month, will begin on the
first Sunday. The change was
made in order to prevent a conflict
with a meeting that will
begin at Fort Mill on the same
Sunday. We hope this action on
the part of the Flint Hill church
will induce many of the Fort
Mill people to attend the meeting
out here.
The sixtieth anniversary of the
birth of Mrs. Ellen Bailas, relict
of Z. T. Bailes, was fittingly observed
on the 3rd inst. by her
children giving her a birthday
dinner at the old home. It is
indeed commendable in children
to thus remember mother and
by so doing put sunshine in her
life and joy in her heart. Those
present to enjoy the occasion
were: O. H. Bailes and family,
Edward L. Bailes and family,
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Faris, Mr. and
Mrs. F. H. Wilson, Mrs. Anna
Miller, "Uncle" Jim Epps, and
Rev. and Mrs. J. R. Smith. A
table was arranged on the
beautiful lawn in front of the
house and at the proper time it
was covered with the most palatable
viands imaginable. And
to say that the entire occasion
was enjoyed hugely by all present
expresses it very mildly. All
inin in Knninnf fUof n-if ?
jviu in nv^uig mat muiucr Danes
will have many happy returns of
the dav. It is always very interesting
to hear Uncle Jim Epps
tell his war stories and as usual
on this occasion he was all smiles
and took great delight in telling
us many things of interest during
the war. It it was necessary to
give Uncle Jim a nickname in
order to distinguish him from
some other Jim Epps, I think
"Sunny Jim" would be appropriate.
He carries sunshine
with him every where and has a
smile for everybody. May the
Lord give him many days on
earth yet to show people how to
be cheerful when time has plowed
furrows in the cheeks and the
hair is white with the frost of
many winters.

est in the announcement by
William D. Upshaw, the wellknown
editor of the Golden Age
and platform lecturer and educator,
as a candidate for the
United States senate to succeed
Thomas W. Hardwick, which
announcement was made public
Monday.
His entry into the race is considered
as the first gun in a
general bombardment that will
be leveled at the junior senator
from Georgia when he comes up
for re-election next year and
Mr. Upshaw's well-known ability
as a stump speaker and campaign
orator make him a factor.

Woodrow Wilson
Has made this statement: "If a
man does not provide for his
children, if he does not provide
for all those dependent upon him.
and if he has not that vision of
things to come, and that care for
the days which have not yet
dawned, which we sum up in the
whole idea of thrifty and saving,
then he has not opened his eyes
to any adequate conception of
human life. We are in this
world to provide not for ourselves
but for others, and that is
A.U ~ I * /
me oasis 01 economy.'
A life insurance policy in the
Union Central is the safest, best
and cheapest mode of provision
for your dependents and of accumulating
savings for yourself,
thus in one means accomplishing
two ends.
Let me prove it.
