M in the high school auditorium. 1 High School Notes As has been the practise for sev eral years, high school ? students will register before the opening date of the schools. By this plan much con fusion is avoided. The pupils 'do not have to spend a day of tiresome waiting and classes can begin work (promptly on the opening date. At tention of parents and pupils is call ed to the fact that unless pupils re " port for registration at the scheduled time they are likely to find the class es in which tJhtey wish to enter for a particular subject, already filled. Parents should investigate the cours-j given , by the high school and aid the pupile elect subjects that will give them the (best possible preparation , for life. Not all the work in thej ? high school is college preparatory ? and therefore parents and pupils are cautioned to elect subjects to that end. The superintendent and princi y?l invite parents to confer with them about the work of their chlid 'Vren tot the school year. The schedule for high school reg istration follows: Thursday, Sept. 5th 8:80 lo 11:80 eightfH grade. 11:00 to 2.c80 ninth grade. Friday, Sept. 6th v 8:80 to 11:00 ' I "lltOO to 2:80, , !

On last Sun day Mr. L. P. Thom|>son joined Mr. Byruta of Great Falls and went to Steels Creek Church near Charlotte, former home of Mr. Byrum, to at tend a reunion or home coming at that famous old site of Presbyterian activity and progress. The church was established 176 , years ago and has 700 members which is said to be the largest county membership of any Church in the Union. Fifteen preach ers were in attendance and many vis itors from a distance. Mr. Tlvom/pson spoke very highly of the fine singing he heard and of the kind interest and hospitality of the good people of that attractive and progressive section of country near the "Queen City of the South". His short stay among them was very pleasantly spent. Rev. John Edwards Richards 'man- 1 is te rial student Svho also supplies two dAirches near Atlanta arrived home last week to spend part of his vacation with his (parents, Mr. and Mrs. N. S. Richards, before resuming ibis studies. On Sunday moorning he preached at the Presbyterian church! taking as hie text the familiar scrip tural passage, "What shall I, do to be saved?" He treated his theme in sudlh an intelligent but plain and un derstandable way as to produce a very profound impression upon his Shearers. Quite a large congregation was present to hear him. His family, and friends here at home, who have known him from "babyhood" up, have a deep interest and /pardonable pride' in the ability shown by this (bright j youag man, and feel that the future! toolds great things in store for him! in his choBen field of labor in the j "Cau,se of Christ", and wish for him a very great measure of success throughout life. lira.

Home Coming at Old Rembert Church Home Coming at Old Remt>ert Church For some months the pastor and' congregation of Old Rembert church lhave been preparing for the meeting that was held there last Tuesday. Rev. A. M. Jones, the pastor has Joeen looking up data and records for many weeks. This old church is located some twenty miles southeast of Camden, and is the second oldest Methodist church in South Carolina. Records are extant reaching back to 1780, and one, Rev. John Smith, was the first pastor, and the second was Rev. Isaaac Smith who figured so] prominetnly in Camden's early Meth odism. A tablet to his memory is now in the vestibule of t'he Lyttleton Street Methodist Church. One feature of the Rembert church was the frequent visits made to that community by Bishop Asbury. In fact it was his headquarters when in South Carolina. The Old Rembert Hull, which was located very near t':.v site of the present church, was an old Revolutionary ^nanor, and its spr-cious accomodations furnished a haven fo>- this "Prophet of the Long Road" It seems that he spent more tw.o, and preached more often at Rembert than at any other church in the state. At this Home Coming all the form er pastors and presiding elders Hving were invited, and some of them were there. T,ve principle historical ad dress was given by the pastor, and many interesting details were brought | out by him tquching the personal his tory of the leading characters of the church and community. Such names] as Rembert, Green, Kennedy, New bury, Brunson, and DesChamps, and , others were given. The' .descendants j of .KRUii^EtMe) Camden and Kershaw county, as ns scattered throughout the country. A great, great uncle of Henry D. Green ? the Rev. H. D. Green was a prominent figure in the history of Remfcert. The forjirner mayor ot Camden "Bob" Kennedy is also a de scendant of the Kennedys of Francis Kennedy of this old community. Special selections of much interest were rendered by ladies who were the great great grandchildren of the pioneers of Rembert church. Dr. W. D. Kirkland of Timmons ville gave an address on the early history of Methodism centering about tho three out-standing founders ? John Wesley, Bishop Thomas Coke: and Francis Asbury. Rev. J. T. Fowler, the presiding elder gave a short talk on the importance of pre serving the place and the tradition of that historic church. Dr. H. Nf | Snyder who was to have been pre ^ent for the principal address; bui was unable to be there, the writer was invited to be tho preacher foi | the occasion. The program lasted , exactly two hours and a half. 1? j the journals of Bishop Asbury, as given by the pastor "Rev. A. M. Jones in his address was to the effect, that on one occasion, the service lasted fivo hours at Rembert churdh. From i tho patier.ee manifested by that long | suffering congregation, showed them I to bo true descendants of tho found I ers of Rembert church. At the close of the program a most sumptuous dinner was served under tho trees It was thought that the big baskets sitting on table* in fuh view of the congregation, was doubt loss a strong factor in (holding tht people so long. It was a great get to gether time, and every one enjoy it. The success of the* whole affair was flue to the untiring efforts of Rev. Jones. ? C. F. Wimbcrly. I'. S. We forgot to mention the nddross by Professor Dick of Dalzel, who was brought up in and near this old church, and gave some most interesting incidents of the people of Rembert. Prof. Dick has been an educator in Lee county all his Ufa. Texas has about lfi,400 miles of railroad, which is greater than the ileago of any other state. It is estimated Iby the Chinese gov ernment that there are 20,000 drug addicts in the city of Nanking alone. 1 List of School .
