There Is scarcely a state In the Cnloii that is farhtcr behind in the matter of public road construction than South Carolina. , According to Clemson College statistics there arc only four spates that have failed to enact laws providing state aid /or good roads work and this styite is one of the four. Our people should demand that the next Legislature pass a law providing for state aid for road construction in South Caroling, Three or four miles below here, alongside the public road from Rethune to Wshppvtlle, is a little Raptist church which has been there for over twenty yea^s. Ill its palmiest days the mem bership- of this lttle house of worship was not over VI or 14 but regular ser vices were held there about once a month up to about four years ago, when the membership had dwindled down to a bare half dozen. For two or three years then no services were held there at all. About a year and a half ago, however, two or three of j the members got together and asked I the Rev. .Will Outlaw to preach for them twice a month at this church. He agreed and. later he was called as regular pastor. Mr. .Outlaw Is an un educated man and was brought up un der the humblest Circumstances, but | he is doing a great religious work, not only at Harmony Baptist church, but at other places. lie goes out into the highways and hedges and gathers in the vicious, the illiterate and the out casts of society. He does not use most fcf his time in the pulpit begging for money. If his congregations pay him anything he receives it thankfully, but never asks for any. As a result of MiV Outlawls labors at Harmony church the membership has Increased to 41 this year, and new ones are being con stantly added! Some of these new members are jiersons who never heard a sermon in their life before Outlaw came' Who will deny that Will Out law, poor, illiterate and humble, will not receive a crown, of glory In the last day when the savior of mankind comes to reward tlinse who have been ! falhful. > Messrs.
