Methodist Revival At* tracts Interest. . The revival services begun at the North Broad Street Methodist church last Sunday, are attracting large and appreciative congregations. The Rev. T. G. Herbert, pastor of the First Methodist church of Sumter, is doing the preaching, and interest is growing with each service. Two services daily are being held, at 10 a. m. and at 7:45 p. m. It was stated last night by the pastor, Rev. L. E. Wiggins, that the campaign will continue through ne^t Wednesday evening. Saturday morning at 10 o’clock, a special children’s service will be held in the church auditorium. Mr. Her bert is anxious to have every child in the community presenVat this time to take part in the service arranged especially for the young people. No service will be held Saturday night. Sunday will be a red-letter day in the campaign, with three services an nounced for the day by Mr. Herbert. At the morning hour, 11:15, h£" will preach, and at the usual hour in the evening.- The churches of the city will unite in the night service. Sunday afternoon at 3:30, a men’s mass meeting will be held. An invi tation is extended every man in Clin ton, whether a church member or not, to attend this service. It is hoped that the auditorium and Sunday school room will be packed for the occasion. The music is in charge of Mr. W. H. Dendy, a student of the Presby terian College, and under his direct ion, the junior choir-is rendering val uable service. Mr. Herbert has made a splendid impression upon all who have heard him. He is presenting a series of appealing messages in an eloquent manner. He does not use any clap trap methods but preaches the simple Gospel with all the earnestness of his soul and depends upon fhe Holy Spirit for results. His extensive experience in pastoral and evangelistic work well qualifies him to lead the campaign. - The Methodist congregation' assures the public of a cordial welbome at all of the services. The first service at which Mr. Her bert preached was held Monday night. The pastor, Rev. L. E. Wiggins, before ' introducing the speaker, told of the friendship that had existed between them for years and spoke in the high est terms of his worth as a Christian gentleman and minister of the Gospel. Mr. Herbert expressed his pleasure in being in Clinton once more after a lapse of twenty years. He recalled pleasantly having assisted Mr. Hodges here in a meeting at that time and spoke of some of the friendships made. Mr. Herbert in announcing his sub ject for the opening service of the meeting he is conducting, selected the 11th verse of the 19th chapter of Acts as his text: “And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul.” He stated at the outset that there are all kinds of elements of power in the world today, but that for these agen cies to function effectively they must all act through a channel. He then turned to the Infinite Power and cited Paul as a wide open channel through which God worked. Jesus Christ was likewise wide open to God’s channel. Continuing, the speaker told of some of the things that choke the channel, citing unbelief as one of the great barriers. He added to the list pride, wordliness, selfishness and in difference, and pointed out the dan gers that are inevitable when the in dividual life becomes affected by such hindrances. * Mr. Herbert said that at the out set of the meeting, every man and woman should ask God, “What?” It is not by might or power, but by <he spirit, that we are saved and are able to live useful Christian lives, he said. In conclusion, Mr. Herbert admon ished his hearers to ask God to search their hearts, to point out the things that will retard, and then by His strength to tear them out of each indi vidual life. “Y” NOMINATES NEW OFFICERS I i Harry K.

C., THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1925 CHAUTAUQUA HAS ATTRACTIVE LIST Variety Is Outstanding In the I^ong * List of Attractions, On Red- path’s Program. “Robin Hood,” the popular De Kov- en Opera, will very probably prove to be the most popular of the many varied attractions to be offered this season on the annual Redpath Chau tauqua program which will open here on May 1st. . This attraction alone, will be worth the price of a season ticket. A long list of entertainments 1 is scheduled to be presented through the week with two and three perform ances daily, excepting Sunday. The chautauqua has been coming to Clin ton for a number of years and will be held on the vacant lot adjoining the North Broad Street Methodist church as heretofore. Bachman’s Million Dollar Band is another of the outstanding attractions and will render two concerts on the last day of the program. “Adam and Eva,” the popular American comedy, is another of the features of the week’s program which is expected to attract a particularly large audience. The performance is said to be in the hands of a capable New York cast and is heralded as one of the high lights of the entire list of attractions. > As is usually the case with the chautauqua programs, the list this year includes numbers which are cer tain to please every possible taste. The many entertainments vary from lecturers to magicians; vocal music to band concerts; opera to cartoonists; story te)ling to instrumental recitals, and from comedy to performances by manikins. ... A number of lectures which should prove very interesting and which will be delivered on a variety of subjects will be presented all through the week’s program. There will also be several afternoon and evening per formances which should prove a treat to the lovers of music as music in its every form will be represented at one time or another in the long list of chautauqua features.

STAMP TAX IS NOW DOUBLE Clerk of Court Calls Attention to In creases in Stamps Required For Papers Before Filing. Clerk of Court C. A. Power, in a statement yesterday, called public at tention to the increase in documentary stamps provided in the recently enact ed luxury^tosmetics and documentary stamp tax which went into effect last week. ^ The amount of stamps placed bn documents for filing is double the pre vious tax, he said. Stamps for notes will be four cents for every $10 or fraction thereof. On deeds the stamp fee will be $1.00 on every $500 worth of property involved. Fractions of $500 will be counted the same as the whole. On bonds 10 cents in stamps GREETINGS! Beginning today, THE CHRONICLE will be sent for the next thirteen weeks to practically every white family resid ing on the new highways recently opened up that lead into Clinton. These highways serve the communities and towns of^Cross Hill, Mountville, Hopewell, Belfast, Whitmire, Kin- arcls, Renno, Cross Keys, Sedalia, Cross Anchor, Ora and Lanford. The object in view is to reach every family in Clinton’s trade area not already listed among the paper’s large family of readers. The plan has been worked out by the Commercial Club , with the assistance of a number of local merchants and business houses. The eight hundred additional papers be- • ing mailed out today are bona fide, paid for subscriptions, yet they carry no cost or obligation whatsoever to the sub scribers. The motive behind this extension campaign is that of • mutual cooperation. Its purpose is two-fold—to put before the people in this section the numerous advantages offered by Clinton; and on the other hand, to invite these good peo ple who have not been in a habit of coming to Clinton and doing' business here to adopt Clinton as their business center.* With the opening of these splendid, yet long neglected highways into Clinton, the great problem of transportation in a large measure has been solved. A farmer living in almost any direction on the designated routes, can within from a fifteen to forty minutes drive be in Clinton to mar ket his farm products. This means closer contact with city and country which will work to the mutual benefit of both. Clinton extends.a cordial welcome and hearty hand-shake . to the people who are today for the first time receiving this paper. We want to know you better—we want you to know us better—we want to do business with each other. We want the people residing in these sections to use the facilities that Clinton offers, our churches, schools, college, banks, oil mill, cotton gins, markets for country produce, which are excellent, our mercantile houses and business enterprises of all kinds. We want you to know that here ► you will always receive a square deal, courteous and appre ciative service—that we are ready to render every possible assistance to od? rural population. So, in this broad and helpful spirit, Clinton welcomes you. Visit our town, meet our people, see what we have to offer. ‘ The latch-string is on the outside and the gpurd hangs by the side of the well.- t WELCOME—THRICE WELCOME! will be required, on stock certificates 10 cents per hundred, sales and trans fers of stocks 4 cents per hundred, proxies 20- cents, and powers of at torney 50 cents. All of these stamps are in addition to federal stamps, where they are required. Mr. Power also called attention to the act which takes effect May 1st, which eliminates the ten days hereto fore allowed for the filing of any paper for record. Hereafter, under this act, papers are to rank as they are filed with the clerk of court. Those who send in papers by mail, ( pointed out Mr. Powers, should there- 'fore be prompt about mailing them. Delay may make it possible for another paper, even of a subsequent date, to be filed and ranked ahead. It is important that all papers carry the required stamps ancLthat those of value in excess of $lfyb be probated before offered for filing Mr. W. S. Glerin, of Spartanbi was a visitor in the city Tuesday. Miss Marion/ Simpson, of Monroe, N. C., visited Miss Francis Dutton during the past week. \ \ \ Y \ / - A 1 ' i 1 - iV -■ in- -V - ,•••••* • THE CHRONICLE Strives To Bo a Cleaa News paper, Complete, Newsy and Reliable.

Clinton is large enough to j support this entertainment and we propose to handle it in the manner we deem best. There will not be any tickets given to the guarantors. If we don’t sell enough tickets, we will simply call upon the guarantors for the deficit. There will be no use of any one waiting to see how many tickets are sold before buying. There will be no “bargain tickets.” Buy your tickets before Friday noon. All of the “see me last or next to last” places have been eliminated. (The chairman has bought these.) Let all of us pull apart and see if we can’t really get $6.0C to $10.00 worth of real education and enter tainment from each $3.00 ticket we buy. Each ticket that we buy helps to make it possible for the children of two institutions to enjoy the at tractions. Thanking you for your kind assist ance, we are, Yours very truly, Geo. C. Odiorne, Chairman, Gilbert Blakely,'fcfec.-Treas. LOSES HIS BROTHER Mr. and Mrs. A- T. Wilson were in Newberry yesterday to attend the fu neral of his brother, Mr. B. H. Wilson.
