and know that any movie production

entertainment. Fairbanks appears
today in "Flirting With
Fate," a comedy-drama in which

comfortably filled Sunday morning
when the congregations of

graduating class by the Rev. C.
C. Herbert, pastor of Bethel
Methodist church, of Chester.
Mr. Herbert's* text was from
Col. 3:24, "For Ye Serve the
Lord Christ," and his exposition
of the text and application in
this time of calls to service were
most powerful and the thread of
'Interest was maintained from
the first to the last word. The
pastors of the three local churches
took part in the service and
the songs were lead by the choir
of the Presbyterian church. Of
especial note in the musical program

Palaces" ssng by a triple duet

night at an enthusiastic
meeting of the citizens held in

iuc i?iusuinc nan wnicn was presided
over by L. A. Harris,
chairman of the local committee.
There were about 50 men present
and 40 of these made subscriptions
to the amount of
$23,500 or almost one-half of the
amount allotted to this territory.
Those interested in the campaign
are greatly indebted to a
committee from Rock Hill sent
here by the county chairman,
Ira B. Dunlap, of Rock Hill, at
the request of Mr. Harris, all of
whom made strong and telling
arguments in favor of the purchase
of these stamps. The
first speaker was J. Claude
t_;autnen who outlined the plan
of campaign as adopted in Rock
Hill and he was followed by
Chas. L. Cobb who made some
very practical suggestions regarding
the adoption of the plan
in Fort Mill. Dr. J. B. Johnson
made a strong and earnest appeal
to the patriotic spirit in this
community an& showed in an
earnest and effective manner
the necessity for liberal contributions
from every one, stating
that this can be done without
involving a real sacrifice upon
anybody. He was followed by
V. B. Blankenship, mayor of
Rock Hill, who made an apt application
of some of the remarks
of the preceding speakers.
A general discussion of ways
and means was entered into with
enlightening remarks by Dr. J.
I .ee Sornt f W R ArHrou
, t* 411UIVJ UIIU
Rev. W. S. Goodwin, and when

B. & L. Assn., Geo. Fish, Mrs.
Geo. Fish. L. A. Harris. J. B.

responded: Fred Nims,
A. 0. Jones, W. B. Ardrev, R.
P. Harris, E. L. Hughes, T. F.
Lytle, W. H. Windle.O. T. Culp,

W. G. Griffin, C. W. Eason,
B. E. Patterson, A. B. Sheppard,

N. L. McManus, S. L. Coltharp,
A. L. Crane, Roy Cunningham,
John Harris, Sam White, J. W.
Brown, R. E. McKibben, Mrs.
W. L. Boyd.
Subscriptions for less than $250
were not called for, but will be
lanen Dy the solicitors during the
next two weeks.
The organization for a houseto-house
canvas was then effected
with the appointment of Geo.
Fish in charge of the cotton mill
solicitation and C. S. Link in
charge of the town proper. A
number of solicitors will be selected
in order that the burden
may not fall heavily on anyone
and the drive will be pushed until
the allotment is secured.
At an election held in Rock
Hill last Tuesday on the question
of adopting compulsory education,
there was only one vote
in opposition. The result was a
foregone conclusion from the beginning

votes in all. All children from
8 to 14 years of age will be compelled
to attend school.

Twenty-two pupils of the
graded school received the annual
award by the trustees of
25 cents each for regular attendance,
nine of whom were
perfect in their attendance and
thirteen tardy.

postponed, and will be delivered
