To Be Held Sunday Afternoon At
3:30. 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.

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.

to be admitted to the Baby Cottage
at the Thornwell Orphanage. They
are two little sisters, Jewell and
Alice Crowder, ages 5 and 3 years.
They came to the institution from
Fort Mill.
Railroad Man

Ed Bobo, popular clerk for several
years past at the local C. N. & L.
office, has been promoted to the posi
tion of soliciting freight agent with
headquarters in Columbia. Mr. Bobo
will “cover” the Pee Dee section, and

they will learn with interest of his
promotion. L. B. Simpson, formerly
clerk at the local express office, has
accepted the place made vacant by
Mr. Bobo’s departure. W. B. Lynn

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

of formulating plans to successfully
put the ticket campaign across. It is
asking the hearty cooperation of
every man, woman and child in the 1
community in its work.

day, April 27th, and will be withdrawn
otv May 1st at noon.
Reserved seats will be offered this
year also for the first time. This
provision is made to accomodate those
who do not desire to go to the tent
so far in advance of the opening hour.
It does not mean that these scats are
better than others, but simply will
reserve in a certain section a seat for
those who may desire same by paying
the $1.00 extra.
The following statement, giving the
details of the ticket campaign, was
furnished The Chronicle yesterday by
Chairman Odiorne with the request
that it be published for the informa

, It is,4be expressed desire of the
committee to eliminate all of the
work, trouble and annoyance, to both
seller and buyer, that we have had
the previous years in selling these
j tickets. 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.
