Power of Prayer Doctor Strlcklelgh, the new minister, was young and full of faith, hope and charity, but he did not always plan his speech with care. One Sunday evening he said very earnestly to his congregation; "Let us pray Jhat we may have an attendance of at least one hundred at our next young people's meeting. And re member that the prayer of faith Is always answered." Now, the next service did net bring out one hundred persons, or anywhere n^ar that number, but the young minister looked cheerfully down upon the faithful few. "Friends," he said briskly, "there aren't a hundred of us, but there are thirteen, and that's one or two more than I had counted on."?Los Angeles Times.

He now live# at Wiggins, in Colleton county, near the coast, and has lived at Summerville, in this county; at Conway, in Horry county, and in Charleston. He has written and lectured much on the resources and possibilities of the low country of South Carolina. James Henry Rice, Jr., was born on Kiverlands plantation, in Abbeville ounty, and grew up there and at locust Grove, being from boyhood the shepherd of the plantation until he read law in his father's office later at Ninety-Swx. He entered the sophonore class at South Carolina college and in due time graduated, after which he traveled extensively abroad. Returning home he taught school at Barnwell and Chester, being city superintendent of school in both plates. Following this he edited the Colonial ecords in Columbia, and was successively editor of the Columbia Evening N<*ws and the "State, doing reportorial work on the Register, and on the Atlanta Journal in intervals. Leaving the State in 1898, he broken the world's record writing life insurance for the Mutual Life of New York. From 1898 on he began a campaign to develop Horry county and carried it through "single-handed and ulone/' as the citizens of Conway and of Horry testified in a resolution passe^l unanimously at a banquet given in his honor September 19, 1925. This has been called "the most remarkable development of a single county known in American annals." One outcome has been Myrtle Bench, the biggest project of the kind on the planet. This work was done without compensation of any kind. He began work for the protection of birds and other wild animals during the first days of the twentieth century with the Audubon society of South Carolina and the National Association of Audubon societies. In arrying on this work he has lectured from Washington to the Rio Grande river, and west to the Rocky mountains. He addressed almost every college and university within this wide domain. For many years he was United States inspector of birds. Mr. Rice was the pioneer in bird protection in every Southern state and educated the people of the South to a Ifi-oader andrbetter understanding of what birds mean to mankind. All the Southern states created departments as a result of his teaching; the bird protection is now taught in the common schools. As a worker for righteousness, he. has lived in battle. He warred on free range until he was outlawed by the general assembly, though this practice continues in defiance of law. He proved that the coast was a healthy region and that its uplands, long considered barren, were the most fertile soils in America. As a oulmination of nearly thirty years of effort, he addressed the State Press association at Myrtle Beach in July, 1924, on the South Carolina coast, and woke echoes from end to end of^the nation. That address WftS made into a hook by the R. L. Bryan Co., of Columbia, and has been sold in every quarter of the globe, England, France, Holland, Germany, Italy and China being the largest buyers, though many copies have gone t-> South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and to many South American countries. (When this book, "The Glories of the Carolina Coast," appeared, the Qcean highway took form and the Inland Water route was revived and the entire coast underwent- a revival. Dr. W. J. McGlothlin, president of Furman university, told the Greenville Rotary club that this book was worth a million dollars to South Carolina. Its reading by Fkirman students is compulsory. Mr. Rice belongs to twenty-one scientific societies, more than half of them in the Old World; and he has corresponded in ail civilised countries, He is devoting titoA and energy to: putting back the forests of the state, planting the oyster beds, protecting and increasing wild life, and to conserving the water powers. All this work Is done through the Conservation Society of South Cafolina, organized and chartered for the purpose.

He says that only a candidate in sympathy with Why Take The Chance? Two laws in which the public si large is interested were passed at the recent session of - the general as* sernbly. One increases the speed* limit of automobiles from 35 to 45 miles an hour and the other requires all vehicles travelling on the highways to carry safety lights. The penalty for violating either law is Ine or imprisonment, or both. Fortyfive miles an hour is fast enough for any vehicle to travel, but with the introduction of the high-powered cars is is probable that the law will be observed more in the breach than in the spirit. However, in case of accident the full responsibility rests upon the driver of the automobile, provided the automohile was exceeding the speed limit at the time of the Iaccident. On the other hand full responsibility rests upon the driver of a vehicle, if it so happens that the I vehicle was not displaying a light at the time of the accident. Thus in either case the speedftend or the drivler of a lightles* vehicle takes a long hance when he violates the new law governing the use of vehicles on the highways^?The Dillon Herald. I J.
