J11 h t Between I.'k Chureli .Members 1 went to church the other day and heard a very able divine preach. He 1 wan exceptionally eloquent and longI winded. When I (jot home, my wife asked me what he preuched about, and I said about 2 hours and mebbe more, and she wanted to know if I enjoyed the sermon, and I told her yes, the lirst hour and a quarter. When 1 woke up, I heard the "Amen" to the benediction, so I knew services were over. | | Very few people (who are not deaf i like to hear long sermons. Fifty years ago, a 2-hour sermon was not uncommon, so I have been informed, and the congregations listened attentively thru the entire discourse. That was about the only form of entertainment the people had back then, so it was either that or return to the monotony of home-life. But it's different today. The average mnn is impressed nbout as follows with a sermon: First 10 minutes?'Simply grand. Second 10 minutes?Might fine. Third 10 minutes?Very good. Fourth 10 minutes?Fair. Fifth 10 minutea?.Just sorter. Sixth 10 minutes?'Punk. Seventh 10 minutes? ? ?.c;:xxxz.. j oo?h .. Folks don't go to church now like they did before there were so many de-tractions and dis-tractions and automobiles and beautiful autumn foliage in the mountains and kinfolks' way off in^some other county and good roads. 1 have often thought that the preaclu s could get their members to attend their services in greater numbers if they would operate on the state and county fair plan?these fairs have carnivals to attract the natives, and what would be wrong with a pastor having a cock-fight or a dog-fight in the pulpit every Sabbath morning before the collection plate is passed? Sonicj thing ought to be done to get 'em out. i But I am off the subject. The longer a preacher's sermon is the *horter will be his stay at that pastorate. Most folks appreciate prayers, but they don't think any body ought to pray all day. The average -man can ask thf Lord for all he deserves in less than a minute. Religion is the most valuable asset a man or woman has or can get, yet, some people don't know whether or not religion pays after all ?And I say religion of the kind that doesn't pay any better than some church members pay is not a satisfactory religion to begin with or end with. Really and truly, there is more 10-cent religion in the country than we ever had before. A 10-cent man can t use any kind of religion except the 10-cent variety, and that's why our country is so full of sin arg^ crime today. The Missing Link Uncle .Joe says that he understands that the chain stores have cut the cost of living a right smart, but lie doesn't see wherein he has been benefitted. He thinks there ought to be some chain doctors so's a fellow, would be able to keep a-going after he got up from the pneumonia ansoforth. that is- if he didn't fall out w ith the doctors about their bill being too big and not pay them at all. Uncle Joe seems to think that one doctor ought to study how to treat everything in the aiiment line common to man, like they useter, do back yonder when folks didn't get sick so much, and people paid their honest debts, and counted a doctor bill an honest ^iebt?which they don't da now. But you know how Uncle Joe is, and this is his tale. He said he woke up one morning about 4 years ago with a pain in his misery, and Aunt Minervy waited a day or two on him to get well with salts and rhubaro ansoforth, and when he didn't, she called in a doctor, and after a few consultations, Uncle Joe was sent to town for examination and treatmen . Uncle Joe was worked on an 1 treated for nearly 6 weeks, and was finally pronounced as well as he was when he was at his worst. He began to receive bills from various doctovsand surgeons and specialists, anJ while ho never bothered himself mm a about the said hilly, he kept a recoi 1 of same, and here they are: Pulling jfl good teeth $65.0') X-raying entire anatomy 85.00 6 blood tests ' 40.0t) Urinalysis 63.50.

I The windstorm has done its damage and now we are hearing the old questions about tornado insurance; asking what it is, what it can do and how much it costs. The time to find out is NOW?before the next storm. Remember that a policy carried year after year is an investment in security. When allowed to lapse and renewed "now and then" it is little different than gambling. The rates are reasonable; the protection sure. Call today?let this agency prove the value of its service.

Long, director of agricultural ex ten - on here, is encouraged with prosjh*' that Congress will offer linan ciai assistance to farmers of lower Soi.'h Carolina, He discussed the bui- ?ct in Orangeburg, Nov. y, with ( ohgi essmcn Fulmer, Casque, Hare, ui.d McMillan and Dr. C. YV. Warbo ' n, of Washington, director of ext. aion in the U. S. Department of Ag> (ulture, and local business men and farmers. Di Long found all agreeing that the ?iorm, rainy seuson and boll weevil had combined to create a farm emergency in the lower part of the state worthy of government relief Furthermore, they agreed that th* I agricultural committees of Congress would put the matter before Congress during the winter Session and that Congress would act favorably. Congressman Fulmer is a member of the House Agricultural Committee. Congress has set a precedent for such action by appropriating relief fundi for farmers in certain local areas heretofore, principally in the far Northwest. County farm agents in the four congressional districts will make surveys of farm conditions early in December and u report will likely b.submitted during the month. The Rev. E. Y. Mull ins, internation i lly known baptist leader, died at his h one at Louisville at noon Friday fallowing a stroke of paralysis the morning of November 10. He was nearly 09. For the last 29 years he had been president of the Southern Baptist Theological seminary at Louisville, Ky. Striking Facta ' About Matchea ' . . 1. The world's match consumption has been variously estimated at between two and three trillion a year, Ihia country, it is said, uses about a billion a day The/ are so inex;? n?ive and in such common use thut is hard for us to realise that until He early part of the l'Jth century all i tires were started with the crude and jiimitive Hint and steel. Although . veral attempts were made to devise better method of starting a lire I it was not until a century ago that ; f >10 first real "friction match" of the kind with which we are familiar today was made. John Walker, an Englishman, who jian a drugstore in the little town of Stockton-on-Tees, prepared an inflammable mixture, composed of chlorate >f potash, sulphur of antimony and powdered gum. This was mixed with water and applied to the end of a I six-inch stick which had previously been dipped in molted brimstone, j These matches were known as I "Lucifer*." rWalker sold his first box j "84 sulphurated hydroxygenated matches" for one shilling. They ignited . readily when drawn rapidly between folds of sandpaper. About 1850 the ignition of sulphur and phosphorus was applied to marches. These "Congreves," us they ! were called, were followed later by i # ! 'T'uzees," "Vestas," "Vesuvians" and j "Safeties." The striking-only-upon| the-box variety was brought on the i market in 1855. Double tip matches I made their appearance on the Ameri| can market in 1(J05. Modern safety matches, which cannot be ignited except by drawing them across the side of the box are coming more and more extensively j into use. Pine is commonly used for j making the sticks but various other woods including birch, basswood, aspen and other soft kinds are used. In a modern factory the wood is rapidly cut up into splints by ingenious machines. *- In other types the wood after being cut into blocks of the proper length is forced in the direction, of its grain through steel dies which cut it up into round splints. Drums carry the splints to tank.?, whore they are immersed in a solution that will afterwards prevent tho matches from smoldering. Then they are rolled around rotating drums which polish and dry th?m. -A draft blows the tiny bits of wood up large pipes onto oscillating screens. This constant shaking causes all the splints to lie the same way on their journey to slots from which they fall into trays. 1 od onto a moving band, they are m xt carried to the match machine where metal fingers tap each stick into a tiny hole in a slowly moving broad iron band. Looking like an enormous cribbage board bristling with matches, the band carries them o\er roller after roller. First the splints pass through a bath of parafin wax; then they brush a rbller coated with the ignition composition. Metal fingers tap the sticks out of the holes and they fall into shaking slots the size match boxes. Just when the matches have settled compactly, match boxes neatly opened by the machine are fed to them." The matches are pushed out of the slots into the boxes, and the lids close over them. From beginning to end, no human hand touches the match! In another department machines have take., thin strips of wood, bent them into shape for the outer covers and labeled them. The inner section oi the box when made in similar way is slid into the other. After the boxes have been filled with matches 1 the ignition solution is pajnted on the outside of the box by revolving brushes. To complete the job a wrapping machine packs and labels the bundles.?The Pathfinder. ? Dies Soon After Husband iety Hill. Nov. 19._Just r> lay after ,h- .U-ath of B.
