John K. Goode, pastor of the Shandon Baptist Church, has been extended a call as pastor of the First Church of Lancaster. The Lan caster Church offers a-yery large field of religious endeavor and the call is being carefully considered by the Shandon pastor, but no definite ac tion has yet been taken by him. Mr. Goode will have served the Shandon Church three years next June and his untiring and consecrated lower part of the State, will make contracts for the new year, consider suggestions for the betterment of the organization, expansion "of their en- deavors and attend to other business incident to an annual session. It is a get together gathering, held once a year, and a big barbecue dinner of choice viands cooked in delicious country style is not the least of the features. After this spread the mem- hers are in a good humor to elect offi- v cers for the coming year. - j , , . . .

Rf Tillman was identified and one of the charter mem bers of the association, has been fa 4 personal contributor. The Shandon Church has had a phe nomenal growth during the pastorate of Mr. Goode, a growth not alone in numbers but in spirituality and fi nances. There is not the least divis ion in the forces of the church and at the closing of the Church year last guccaM.<an4. profit- October it .was found that no arrears- that it augur* well for the cultivation * — 1 '“ of the crop in other -sections. _ Mr. 0 i in Knight said asparagus could be grown to excellent advantage throughout the State with large returns for the grow ers, provided an organization of fann ers were perfected whereby they could ship the product in car load lots from * one or more shipping points. It is too big a proposition for one farmer to attempt, but success, he said, is reasonably assured if 20 or more farmers around a certain point should plant the crop and then organize for the sale of it in car load lots through an exchange which, if located ih the North, is better , to handle the bus iness, on account of the greater de mand in that section of the country. The crop requires a great deal of care and attention but the revenue is far greater than from the average crop and it takes far less acreage. Mr. Knight was invited to go into further deUils, as regards the asso- . ciation of which he is president. * History of Association. The South . Carolina Asparagus Grower’s Association was organized in 1915, after a series of the most ruin ous prices to the growers. Since the organization, every year ha^ witnessed a steady increase in the amount of re turns to the growers. The season dates from March 10 to May 10. All of the product is shipped under re frigeration, and marketed under the “Dixie Brand,” which was formerly the private brand of the late Senator Tillman and became th^ official brand of the association when he joined it. The senator, even in his years of de clining, health, continued an aggres- the form fTfrorfi: of a disk of attractive design, is im pressed on the ends of the crates by the box manufacturer.

Some of the cars, /when prices were highest, brought $4,000.

The Shandon Church will make ev ery effort, to induce Mr. Goode to re main and it is hoped that he can be made to see that it would be a great mistake for him to leave a work which thrpugh his efforts is being conducted so -successfully. Large Crowd Here Monday. The following letter from Major James A. Willis, forme'rly of Barnwell, now stationed in France, was received by Mr. Frank H. fluggins, last week: A. P.

We were on the march and I did not have a chance to answer. We are now very comfortably, bil leted in the little town of Grancey, on the river Ource, for an indefinite stay so far as we know or- can learn. You would probably like’to hear just where we have been and what we have been doing:" I was in the Advance School Detachment of 86 officers and 84 noncommissioned officers from the 81st Division, which left Camp SeVler, S. C., on July 13th and reached Camp Upton, Long ]$tend, N. Y., on the morning of the 15th. We were there just two weeks and left on the morn ing of the 29th and went aboard^hip, the Mauritania, and sailed on the morning of the 30th at 7 o’clock. It was an impressive sight; the big ship was covered with soldiers, there were 6000 on board, and as she passed down the harbor everybody gave us a great send off, bands played, people cheered, waved flags, etc. ~We had tf is a regular palace and we had fine weather. -We. landed at Liverpool, Eng., on the morning of August 6th; left there the riext morning by train for South Hampton - and" arrived that afternoon. -W.e enjoyed the trip across England "very much; It is a beautiful country, kept just dike a flower gar den. 'Went on board ship the next day for a dash across the Channel. We were warned not to take off any clothes but to be ready to go over two villages enroute. This is the most beautiful part of France, I think. We stayed here ten days or two weeks resting up and getting in shape for the fight that we knew was coming Unparalleled advances in property values in South* Carolina have been recorded during the past 12 months, according to county abstracts- filed with Rut L.

Several out-of-town stock dealers were here and in addition to the trading in horses and mules, sev eral pieces of real eestate were sold by the Master. Though large, the crowd was very orderly, drunkenness being conspicuous by its absence, At an early hour the people began to de part for their hopnes and long before nightfall the streets Vere deserted. I will meet you on the way with full instructions. Take only your haver sacks, 2 days rations and slickers. Put other things in squad rolls. You will have to march about 40 K. tomorrow. Have detail to load sqd. rolls on trucks, T. A. Pearce.” This note was written J>y Col. Pearce the night before we arrived and meant that v/e would have to make 25 miles that day in the face of an order higher up that troops would not march on the road in daylight unless it was very cloudy. .Sampigny was a city about the size of Spartanburg and had been deserted by the inhabi tants. They had gone away and left everything. We found places for the men to get some sleep before leaving at eight that morning. Not long af- rSithfict part of the St. Mihiel battle ground and then we jnarched through the town of St* Mihiel and crossed the river on the pontoon bridge that I have seen in ^pictures. This town was not so badly wrecked as I expected to see, but the villages near it were com pletely destroyed and everything wiped out. Gen. Bailey, our Division Commanded, came along and told us not to try to march so far that day, but to spend the night on the road in The decline in Richland is only $11,- 680, while in Florence the drop amounts to $461,545. were falling at the edge of the road and the old shell holes were on the edge, with very few in the middle of the road, therefore I thought we had better stay where there were the few est shell holes, and stayed in the mid dle of the road until we had to leave the road..

At Sommedieu I saw the large railroad guns for Die first time. These guns fired several shots at the German lines while I was at Sommedieu,. and when the first shot was fired 1 was satisfied that the Ger- they did then and paid us a visit. Shells of every kind and caliber rained down. We had about 1500 yards to go to reach the position we were to occupy. Mixed with the shells was a lot of gas, one company lost 44 men gassed, but none of them died. You never saw finer soldiers in your life, they never halted for one moment, but moved steadily to the front; an officer had only to make a signal and it was obeyed instantly. Soon after the assault started 10 td 15 men of the 324th Inf. came running back through our lines, saying that the Germans had machine guns covering that field and if the men advanced they would be wiped out, but none of our men paid the least bit of atten tion to them but kept right on.

There seemed to be some unseen hand guiding us and pro- tec ting' us.

We were on the line next morning at Manheulles when t was told by the Colonel that the fir ing would cease at eleven. I immo diately went down the line and told the men to get down in the trench mod stay there until eleven; that the fir ing would cease at eleven o’clock, and the war would be over. I will never forget the expression op the faces of those men. I cannot describe it. Just a far awsy look and a amiV Mot • cheer or sound from them. Promptly at eleven complete silence reigned. It was so sDll and quiet that it was un canny and depressing, still there waa no cheering. That nignt the aides were up with rockets and flares, were more of them from the German line than ours., Just as far aa you could see up and down the line for miles these rockets were going upu Twenty-four hours earlier these seme rockets would have meant that in about two minutes you would got n barage dropped on you.

For some miles we had been passing de stroyed buildings and little crosses marking soldier graves. Very soon we began to hear heavy guns and as w-e marched these guns sounded closer and closer, until we began to hear the shells go over us. S ’ We *reached Hurbache at 3 A.
