IMPROVEMENT IN MUNICIPALITIES SEVERAL TOWNS ARE ISSUING BONDS FOR PURPOSES OF GENERAL BETTERMENT. ? ; SANITATION IS MAIN ISSUE De la Home School in McCormick y County Recently Visited by State Engineer Filby. I Columbia. Several towns in South Carolina either have municipal improvements well under way at the present time or are contemplating issuing bonds for improvements, according to E. L. Filby, sanitary engineer of the state health department. Engineer Filby says that Walhalla, which he recently visited, is planv ning a bond issue for $125,000 for the purpose of installing waterworks and a sewerage system. ' Seneca is now putting in a system of waterworks and sewerage as is I^lckens, and Batesburg has recently let the contract for the installing of a waterworks and sewerage system. Engineer Filby recently visited the De la Home school in McCormick county and says that the school offii cials there are planning to improve the sanitary arrangements. N Beaufort is now considering installing a sewerage system, according to Mr. Filby. Chesterfield and New Brookland are both considering the matter of waterworks and sewerage systems and Blacksburg, too, is looking into the subject carefully, says the sanitary engineer of the state department. Attractions at State Fair. D. F.Jlflrd, secretary of the South Carolin ^Agricultural and Mechanical society, signed contracts for the special features of entertainment in oonnecton with the state fair, which will be held October 24 to 26, inclusive. Auto polo will be one of the novel features of entertainment, the games to be played each afternoon, and contests of this character will also be switched in between the heats of the horse,, races. The fireworks display will be presented by the Tearle-Duffield Fire works Display company, which offers o it? attractions onfy at the largest 0 fairs and in the large cities. The r program will consiist of historical, r unique and comedy features, among h those to be shown including a repro- t duction of the burning of Chicago and c various other features outlined in the pyrotechnics. These will be shown ^ each night during the gala week. g Grew at Camp Jackson. South Carolina climate must have proved extremely beneficial to the 8 boys at the citizens' military train- ^ ing camp recently closed at Camp ^ Jackson, as the average "growth" of I the young men was one-third of an ( inch, while some are known to have g "grown" at least an inch. The boys ^ ' I also'expanded and enlarged in chest capacity and were benefited in many other ways, accordng to the surgeon's C statistics. The increase in height was due to t the taking out of the kinks in the a boys' backs, put there, probably, from a following the plow or plying the well f known hoe. * e The figures made by the C. M. T. i' C. surgeon furnish interesting com parisons and show the physical de- A velopment of the men who spent the month at Camp Jackson. a I Further Discharges Ordered. t Orders have been received at Camp v Jackson to discharge 1.200 enlisted v men by Saturday, August 2,7 on ac- 1 count of further reduction of 'he army r and applications will again be accep- ii ted for discharge, the men being sent home at once. A Another order reads that all men who made application for discharge t up to August 23, on account of de- c pendents, also be discharged. g There are still about 1,500 surplus t men in the camp at the present time t in all organizations. t Held for Safekeeping. F Fifteen prisoners are now being held at the state penitentiary for "safe- r keeping," this being possibly the larg- ii est number ever confined to the prison v under smilar circumstances at any d one time, according to penitentiary au- t thorities. v In addition to these 15. several others are under death sentence and are n awaiting disposition of their cases by t the state supreme court and the gov- c ernor. tl In the death house is Edmund D.

C New Specification Forms. 7 State highway department officials are now ready to use the new stand- r ard specification forms for all state S contracts, it was announced. w The new form was gotten up sever- o al weeks ago. and is now to be used fi by the department. ? ! lj The new form is of the loose leaf s system style and enables the depart- b ment to save considerable money in a postage and printing.

Paul and Silas in Jail (vv. 10-20). 1. The occasion (vv. 19-24). When s the demon was cast out of the maid ? her supernatural power was gone; t 1 therefore, the source of revenue was S ' dried up. This so exasperuted her , ' owners that they had l'aul and Silas ? arraigned belore the magistrates on a false charge. They charged them with changing their customs, but nothing had been snld about customs. They acted the hjpocrite, for it was not , customs, but their illicit gains that , were Interfered with. Those men , ought to have rejoiced that such a . blessing had come to this poor girl. _ They cared more for their gain than || for her welfare. This is true of the iniquitous crowding together of the poor in unsanitary quurters in our teni enient districts and the neglect of pre. cautions for the safety of employees in shops and stores. Without any . ; chance to defend themselves they j were stripped and beaten by the angry mob and then demanded to Jail, and were made fast in stocks in the inner ' i prison. 2. Their behavior in Jail (v. 25). : They were praying and singing hymns to God. It seems quite natural that , they should pray under such conditions, but to sing hymns under such b i circumstunces is astonishing to k)l who t have not come into possession of the s peace of God through Christ. Eveu L with their bucks lacerated and smarting, and feet fast in stocks compelling n the most painful attitude in the dun- c geon darkness of the inner prison, h with a morrow before them filled with t extreme uncertainty, their hearts went b up to God in gratitude. a 3. Their deliverance (v. 28). The n \Lord wrought deliverance by sending li a great earthquake whicl\ opened the ii prison doors and removed the chains v from all hands. II. The Conversion of the Jailer I (vv. 27-34). a The jailer's sympathy did not go out o very fur for the prisoners, for after they were mude secure ne went u> sleep. The enrthquuke suddenly t aroused him. He was about to kill ii 1 himself, whereupon Paul assured him c that the prisoners were all safe. This t was too much for him. What he had v heard of their preactdng and now s what he had experienced caused him b to come as a humble inquirer after j salvation. Paul clear?y pointed out h the way to be saved?"Relieve on the a Lord Jesus Christ." The word "be- a lieve" means to yield to and fully obey, o The proof that the jailer was saved is threefold: r ; 1. Transformation from brutality to a tenderness. He who a Utile while ago h could with impunity lay on the cruel o lash is now disposed to wash and mollify tlie wounds. p 2. Confession of Christ in baptism, n Those who have really been convicted s of sin and have experienced the saving t grace of God, delight to confess their u faith In Him under whatever circum- o stance they may be. I 3. liis whole household baptized, t When u man's family are willing to _ follow him you may be sure that the : case is genuine. t III. The Magistrates Humbled (vv. ; 35V40). The earthquake brought fear upon the magistrates. They gave leave for f the prisoners to gfc. but now they refuse to go, claiming Hint their rights as Komnn citizens have been violated, j and demand a public vindication. Paul was willing to suffer for Christ's sake, S | hut he used the occasion to show them j that persecuting men who preach,the gospel is an offense against the law of God and man. IV. Preaching in Thessalonica (vv. 17-11I). At Thessalonica he found open ^ hearts; He followed his usual custom . | of going first to the Jew (v. 1). After C. i witnessing to the Jews he went to the i Gentiles. Concerning the Christ he 1 affirmed: 8 1. "It behooved Christ to suffer" (v. ft). No plainer teaching Is to be found anywhere than the suffering of Christ (Isa. f>3). m 2. The resurrection of Christ from w the dead (v. 3). v 3. The Kingship of Jesus (v. 7). Just F as It was needful for Paul to go into _ the synagogue and "open and allege" c that Christ must suffer, so it is now 5 needful that someone go Into our churches an'd Sunday schools and L ' "open and allege" that by the eternal ' Word of God Christ must come and ! establish His kingdom. The result of this preaching was hot monv Qmno .T??\vs: Iwlinvinl , V. Preaching in Berea (vv. 10-1."). ? His method here was the same as n i nt Thessalonica. He entered the Jew- ? J Isli synagogue and preached Jesus unto j,, them. The Hereans received the pospel with plad hearts. Two striking tj thinps were said iihout them: 1. They received the messape platlly. ? L\ They searelied the Scriptures dally , for the truthfulness of their pleachi inp. All noble minds have (1) nn i openness to receive the truth; (!') a balanced hesitancy; (3) a subjection ? to rightful authority. g Remove Thy Feet From Evil. 8 I'onder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
