To My Bamberg Friends.
I wish to return thanks to my
Bamberg patrons for past favors,
and I will be glad to estimate on any
work to be done after November.
Just at present I am very busy, having
closed contracts for two handsome
two-story residences, to be
handsomely finished throughout,
also about $2,000 worth of public
work for the county. There were
other bids lower than mine, but the
parties concluded I was the most
reliable man to deal with, and as a
conseqence the contracts were
awarded to me. I am interested in
Bamberg and her people, and hope
to do lots of building in your town
this fall. L. L. Chartrand.

Home Mission Items.
Last year 5,349 persons in the
Home Missing Society were pledged
to tithing. There is more wealth in
the world at this present time than
ever before, and the larger part of
it is in the hands of professing
christians. What would it mean to
the church if these christians were to
tithe their income ? There would be
no empty treasuries, no begging, no
bazaars, no festivals, money always
on hand to meet apportionments. So
much more good could be done, and
so many more souls saved for Christ.
Isn't-it worth the trial ?
In the United States there is spent
annually $15.61 per capita for liquor,
and only $4.10 for church and charity.
If every church member would
pledge themselves to let whiskey go,
the statistics for another year would
be reversed.
Savannah has recently been opened
as a port of entry for immigrants
from Europe. This makes four immigration
stations in the Southern
States: Savannah, New Orleans,
Charleston, and Galveston. Last
year sixty thousand foreigners set- j
tied in the South, forty-eight per
cent, of whom are illiterate. The
Home Mission Society is doing a
wonderful work among the foreigners,
establishing schools, etc.
In Tampa there are thirty-five different
languages spoken. Nine con
secrated women are employed by the
Home Mission Society to work in the
[talian and Cuban schools. These
foreigners coming under the influence
>f these godly women, will make :
christians and good citizens.
The great undeveloped West presents
vast fields for home mission
vorkers. About fifty-four per cent.
)f the immigrants settle in the West,
tt calls loudly for the church and
christian schools, and preachers and
teachers of strong character and in;ellectual
training. The Home Mis
don society is striving to win the (
victory for Christ. But money and ;
vorkers are needed to meet the
?reat demands. We should rally to
;he call. Every member of the
church should be a member of the
Home Mission Society.

TWO BELTON MEN DROWNED.
Were In a Boat Fishing on the Saluda
River and Boat Capsized.
Early last Thursday morning J.
C. Walker and John Dickson, both
white, were drowned in the pond of
the Belton power company, six and
one-half miles from Belton, on the
Saluda river. Both of these young
gentlemen were well known in Anderson,
as that city was their former
home.
It seems that the two men set out
trot lines across the pond the evening
before and at 2 o'clock next
morning they were in a bateau visiting
the lines. The bateau capsized.
It could not be learned how it hap
]
pciicu.
As neither of the gentlemen returned
to their homes in time to go
to work, a search for them was inaugurated.
The lifeless body of Mr.
Walker was found on one of the
hooks of the trot line. The body of
Mr. Dickson was found about noon
about 50 feet below where the boat
turned over.
Mr. Walker and Mr. Dickson were
brothers-in-law. They were electrical
engineers and were in charge of the
power house at the dam. They had
been connected with the company
only four or five months. Both were
about 25 years of age.
