Mr. David was the author of the book; "How to be Happy on Nothing a Year," which gained a large national distribution, as well as various articles on Nature Study, which appeared in a magazine of national importance and caught the interest of thousands of readers. He was a communicant of St. James Episcopal Church, where he took an active part in the work until failing health forced him to retire. His wife, Mrs. Eva Lester David preceded him ih death 14 years to the day. He is survived by two sons; Louis S. David of this city, and Charles E.

Qn October t after thirty years of; service ,as ke will be retired or a pension He has practkally rvured. now as he is eajormg a vacation axd j will not return to duty, Mr. Sistare carried Route 1 out of Riverside for ,29 years and for the year has carried Route 6 out ofj Lancaster as the Riverside route aas consolidated with Lancaster Route L Beginning his service for Uncle Sam back in ltHU Mr. SisiaretVover. Cvi his route wxh? a horse and bu^jgy j in summer and on horseback in the winter time. He says that muctk of' fihe time in winter he. had to dismount and lead his horse as e? -he ! roads were very muddy with ceep I holes in places. Nevertheless in ail the thirty years Mr. Sistare went ov- i er his route missing only one day's j delivery in that time. On one occasion in the winter of 1906 there was! j so much sleet and ice on the ground! that the mail could not be delivered. 1 In those days there were few roads in the country and less Ridges. He' says at times he would have to go j three or four miles out of his way if a creek Had"risen. Starting out in the morning ke would leave Riverside and make his rounds in about ten hours. ' Sometimes. he says, that when he returned at night the postmaster had gone to bed and the mail that he picked up would be taken to his home ar.d placed in the post office the next morning. After using a horse for a number of years on his route he purchased a motorcycle and delivered the mail in that manner for a while. A model T Ford was next and this was more convenient but he says that even then the roads were so bad that he got stuck on occasions ar.d that many a time he has gor.e over the route in his Model T when other cars r.ad to be puLed out with four mules. Mr. Sistare used one horse for eleven years on the Riverside route ana he says this ar.imai was still in good condition when he sold it. Mr. Sistare will continue to live in Lancaster and wiL oversee the operations of his farm at Riverside. Mr. Sistare is tne oldest man in point of sbrvice of the postal emplovees in I-ancaster. E. L. Hinsor. is second in point of service as he has been carrying the mail for 28 1-2 years. Mr. Will Pardue was the oldest in point of service at :he time of his death which occurred las; year. He would have retired in May of this year had he lived.?Lancaster News. Pint Of Liquor Proves Fatal Carters ville, Ga.?James Brantort; 24. won his wager that he could drink, a pint of whiskey at one draught, but death held the stakes. The youth wagered some friends late Saturday night that he could drink a pint of whiskey or more, at one draught. After drinking the liquor, it was testified at a hearing conducted by the Coroner, his companions thought he "passed out." For two hours a friend rode him around in a futile effort to revive him. Finally Brariton was taken to a physician, who said he had been dead for some time. METHODISTS LN THE SOUTH Historian of That Church Tells Some Interesting Details of It. In The Southern Christian Advocate, Rev. Albert D. Betts, of St. George, South Carolina, narrates the beginnings of Methodism in America, 150 years ago, tells of the division w-hich formed the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in 1845, and in the end gives facts about the two main branches of the church in this country, and adds: There are several branches of American Methodism, and we note the principal ones: A. M. E. Church (1816), A. M. E. Zion Church (1819), Methodist Protestant Church (1830) Wesieyan Church fl843), Free Methodist (1860), and Colored M. E. Church (1870). The division left the M. E. church with 760,000 members and the M. E. Church, South, with 495,000 members. The former now ha? 4,500,000 members and the latter 2,750,000. The other branches no* total 2,000,000 more. Counting mission fields American Method Is now total about 10,000,000 members, besides twice as many adherents. In 1846 the first General Conference of the M. E. Church, South, met in Petersburg, Va. William Capers, of South Carolina, and Robert Paine were chosen bishops. The China Mission was begun in 1848 with Dr. Charles Taylor and Rev. Benjamin Jenkins of "South Carolina as the first missionaries.

C?ut of a clear sky, then, this man was struck by the most despicable of all crimes?the one crime that can be common only when society is helpless in the face of lawlessness. The crime was committed and it went unpunished. The best-loved man in the nation had found that, this was cot a safe country iu which to rea- a child. Our grief and anger were impotent. The thing could not have happened in England, or.France, or Germany; it was typically terribly j American.

In other words, we are not quite as disorganized as we were a fewyears ago. The Lindbergh case was our national low-water mark. Since then we have somehow managed to lake a brace.

( But the dollar you send out of Camden has, very like- . 0 ly, kissed you goodbye forever. It is not like the prodigal son . . . for it will never work for you again. The Camden Chronicle employs quite a number of people, and they spend most of their money here. The dollar you spend with us for printing helps us to keep those people here. If we couldn't pay them they'd soon move away, and you would have fewer customers.
