" O'd Time Church Music H?? Been

rev. will waite, the pasture of rehober

heavy on the typo of aonga and tnu-j
sick now being uaed in rehober as
well as many other churches of the
same faith and order, and ho stated
that several other denominations are
likewise. afflicted in their services an-l
soforth.
according to rev. waite, our church
hymns and songs begaln to be "ragged"
in 1925. by IPSO, they had "Jas*ed"
them, and today it seems that 95
per cent of our songs and musick has
been "Jitter-bugged." he says If he
was not in a church when he beard
suoh goings-on, he would think he
was in a ulght club or worse. Op. s.
it is all lull of swing ansoforth) j
"take last sujnday, for instance^"!
brother walto said: 'beulah land" was
sung to the tune of 'two cigarets in
the dark' and 'shall we gather at the
rivver' was Jawed to sound like 'who
been here since 1 benn gone." if a
dance-hall was acrost the street from
his church, the guest over there could!
dance annything from the waits to
the rhumbs, including the hootchykootchy
using the songs and musick
that flows from the rehober quire and I
congregation. 1
rev. waite wishes that the people
would go back to the old way of sing-j
ing so that members of his church
could feel like they were pressent to
worship instid of to pat their feet
-wiggle their heads, he said he
counted the words in a good old hymn
last Sunday and the quire was grind-j
ing out about 55 words per minnet
(in jitterbugglng it) whereas the old
tune and the old rythm permitted on-l
ly about 10 or 15 words per minnit.
all sacredness aud piety have benn
drove out of this form of worship, so
he said, and church tempo has benn
speeded up in its songs.

Football Trouble Between Cedar Lane]

the trouble came about in this wise,
mudd lark of flat rock Is one of the
chain toters of flat rock which measures
downs ansoforth. naturally he
wanted to help his home team as his
reppertation will show. he slipped
some rubber links in tho chain and
when cedar lane looked like they
were going to make a flrst down,
mudd would stretch the chain from

I let it shrink up as much as possible
with its rubber links, and instid of
the chain being 10 yards long, it
would average betwixt 7 and 15, owing

Cotton Paving Used
In Southern Cities
Along shady Valliant street In
Greenville, Miss., a crew of road-1
workers rolled a huge, eight-foot wide
bolt of cotton fabric, white and
coarse, and seemingly more suitable'
for curtains or dresses than for this
strange use.
Housewives on Vallluut street rubbed
their eyes iucredtously. What
was City Engineer Frank Hall up to
spreading hundreds of square yards
of cotton material on the street which
had been a gravel one, and which had
been scraped down for a new kind of
hard-surfacing? They came out on
the sidewalk, talking to each other
and~4e--th0 engineer who was putting
down first cotton-membrane streets
0^1 a large scale in the United States.
Fassersby figured the heavy, looslywoveu
fabric which the workers were
fitting upon the priming of asphalt,
which had been laid earlier upon the
prepared gravel.
Greenville was lnauguaratlng this
summer's day a road paving program
which would result lu the hard surfacing
of 55 blocks of city streets
with a cotton membrane filler between
layers of asphalt. The work
was being undertaken experimentally,
on a large scale, In connection with
the Department of Agriculture, which
was supplying thd fabric. The program
has been envisioned by Mayor
Milton Smith and City Engineer Hall.
And It was fitting that In Greenville
in the heart of the long-staple cotton
producing Mississippi Delta, this first
large scale experiment in cotton paving
sfcould be made. Only 30 miles
away, at Scott, Miss., Oscar Johnston,
president of the National' Cotton
Council, and operator of one of the
world's largest cotton plantations had
himself laid down a mile of cotton
road some seven years ago.
The way In which the Scott plantation
road had stood up under heavy
trucking automobile travel and plantation
machinery had convinced his
neighbors that cotton could make an
ideal membrane in the building of
enduring hard-surfaced roads. The
National Cotton Council Itself had
become convinced this year of the potentialities
of cotton road building.
To the task of experimenting in this
new use for cotton it had assigned
Dean Gilchrist of.Texas A. and M.
And upon his findings depend the possible
use of a million bales of cotton
a year in road making.
But Greenville hadn't waited for
theee findings, for the city officials
had already -been-eonvtaced-lyjr- the
mile laid down at Scott and by similar
small scale ventured in New Jersey.
The theory behind the proposed
use of cotton in such roads is that it
acts as a cushion between layers of
gravel and asphalt, as well as a binding
material and slows down the deterioration
of the hard-surfaced road.
If cotton is proved to be an important
factor in road-preserving, its use
will be a construction economy, for
In hard-surfaced roads, the. upkeep
rather than the initial cost is what
burdens the taxpayers.
The actual laying of ' roads with
cotton binder is as simple as ordinary
blacktopping. The prepared base 1b
i first primed with asphalt, which is
absorbed by the base in approximately
24 hours. The cotton membrane
is ' then laid down, by being unrolled
the lenghth of the street, doubling
and splicing where necessary. Asphalt
Is then applied to the cotton
and covered with gravel, and the'gravel,
covered with coarse sand and
broomed and rolled to a resultant
dense, smooth surface.
Other cities besides Greenville aro
also experimenting In cotton roads,
through the cooperation of the Department
of Agriculture. But the
drive to make the nation cotton-road
conscious awaits tho report of Dean
Gilchrist.?Monroe Enquirer.

Raises Canadian Geese
William P. Smith of Clover, veteran
sportsman, who loves to hunt partridges.
ducks and geese, as well as
doer, and also likes to play at Izaak
Walton's favorite sport, has on his
premises at Clover a flock of fifteen
Canadian wild geese, which he has
raised. The geese are not "wild"
now, and they make their headquarters
in Mr. Smith's yard, and delight
in making flights about Clover several
times each day. Admittedly these
geese as they may fly around, and
even alight at times away from the
home base, present a great temptation
to would-be sportsmen to try
their hands at shooting them. None
have been shot yet, and Mr. Smith is
hoping that none of them will be kill-'
ed' or even shot at, as he Is hoping to
develop his flock of geese until he has
many more of them. No real sportsman
will shoot at the tame "wild"
geese.?Yorkvllle Enquirer.

Massing of German
Troops Near Aachen
Washington, I) C, Get 10.? Dlspatches
eoutinuo to report unofficially
the evacuation of Aachen, known
to the French as Aix-la-Chapelle, and
the Increualng concentration .there of
German troops shifted frofn the Polish
front It is a German border town
within a few miles of the common
boundary of Germany, the Netherlands,
and Belgium. The city is on
the route of the German invasion of
Belgium in 1914.
"Aachen is a city of more than 160.000
population in Germany's highly
industrial northwest section, less than (
forty miles west of Koln (Cologne),
iu the Prussian Hhineland," says a
bulletin from the Washington, D. C..
headquarters of the Natioual Geographic
Society.
"This city has many sulphur and
thermal springs and has been for centuries
an International health rosort
long popular with the British. It has
also been (iouveuient in the past for
international congresses, with the result
that three Important treaties
were signed there in past centuries.
"Such notables a? Frederick the
Great, Handel, and Napoleon are
among those who took the cure at
Aachen. Even the ancient IlomanB
had a name for the town, 'Aqulsgranum\
after Apollo Granus, the god of
hot springs. It was a favhrlte resort
of the Romans as far back as the
first century, A. D. But the outstanding
figure associated with the place 1b
Charlemagne; because of this association
it was proclaimed a 'holy city'^
"Aachen today Impresses the visitor
as a modern hut commonplace
manufacturing eity, with some spacious
boulevards as well as the small
drab thoroughfares of a factory center.
It has large cloth and metal
manufactures.
"Such greatness as the city has
comes from the aura of antiquity,
with a few relics and ruins still extrant
to tie it definitely to the glamorous
past of Charlemagne. It has
been suggested that Charlemagne
may have been born at Aachen. In
the latter part of the eighth century
he built his palace there, making it
one of the capitals of empire and a
center of culture and learning. The
Aachen library today has more than
100,000 volumes and the museum has
many Spanish, Flemish and German
masterpieces.
"Attached to the palace was Charlemagne's
chapel, source of the French
name for the city, meaning the Chapel
"Sprlfigs. The^chapel was later Incorporated
in the cathedral of Aach,
en, with Borne ninth century doors,
the ancient chandelier presented by
Frederick Barbarossa, and the plain
white marble chair of Charlemagne.
In the cathedral rest the remains of
Charlemagne. The site of the palace
is now occupied by one of the more
picturesque town halls of Germany,
built in the fourteenth century.
"In the twelfth century a rampart!!
was built around the city by Frederick
I, and while the battlemented
walls have since given place to boulevards,
three of the city gates remain,
Pont Tor, the Langer Turm, and Marschier
Tor. Beginning with the coronation
of Charlemagne's son, Louis
Pious, in 813 A. M., thirty-two emperors
and eleven queens were crowned
In this modest cathedral near the
center of the city. This distinction
ceased when Maximilian 11 was
crowned 'king of the Roman?', or German
king, at FrankTurl-lumMaiu in
1562.
"T^e city was occupied by the
French in 1794, which accounts for
the popularity of the French name of
Aix-la-Chapelle. It remained under
French control until awarded to
Prussia in 1815.
"It was a Aachen almost a century
ago that Paul Julius Reuter organized
his 'Iteuter's Agency' for the dissemination
of news on the European
continent, by telegraph, though for a
time ho used carrier pigeons. He
shortly removed to London where he
became a British subject. The agency
which he founded is now the moat
important news gathering organization
of the British empire.
"Aachen Is on the northern slopes
of the Ardennes on a small tributary
to the Muese, in a vale sheltered by
terraced forests, an adequate scenic
setting for a watering resort. In the
World war the resort hotels were
used by Germany for hospitals; the
trains, after carrying supplies over a
fan-like system of railroads to the
front, returned with their loads of
wounded soldiers."

would like to live In Newberry for
two reasons: First, because It was a

other state In the union. Ho told of
his method for fishing for crapple
which ho said was very successful.
He takes an ordinary gourd, cuts a
small hole In the handle and inserts
the desired number of crickets. Then
he stops the hole with a cork stopper
and as a bait Is needed he simply
pulls the stopper, and the cricket
seeing the light makes for It crawling
gently out into his hand. The next
operation la to hook the bult on a
five ounce fly rod and cast, halting
the cast just short of the water allowing
It to touch the water lightly
and Bink slowly. He swears the
