Bishop Darlingtor Educational Fun Trinity Methodist church "went over the top" in the Christian educational fund last Thursday. The teams were organized and ready for business at nine o'clock Thursday, and before the close of the day's work, the fund was subscribed in full, with a good surplus to spare. More than $15,000 was turned in in five year pledges the first day. Some of the church membership could not be seen the first day, and contributions have continued to come in. The r>ioricro<a nn tr? vesterdav amount luiai ? ? ? . ed to $16,119. The quota of the local church was $14,000. The campaign was formally opened Wednesday night, when a rally meeting was held at Trinity church, at which Bishop U. V. W. Darlington, bishop of the North and South Carolina confernces, made one of the finest addresses on Christian education ever heard in Bamberg. The rally meeting at the church was followed by a reception at Carlisle at which several hundred persons, including a number of out of town visitors, enjoyed themselves for an hour or two. Ice cream, cake and punch were served at the school. The meeting at the church was presided over by Rev. S. 0. Cantey, who introduced LaVerne Thomas, Dr. George F. Hair and J. Carl Kearse, each of whom made a short talk on on various phases of the educational drive. Bishop Darlington said that he did not think it was necessary for him to come to Bamberg. At points where schools are located, the people appreciate the educational cause and without fail respond to the canvass, and he mentioned Greenwood as an example.

Washington, June 3.?The census committee of the house at its meeting. just held here took an important step and one of vital interest to the entire country regarding future opportionment of the members of the house. Commenting on the action of the committee, Congressman John J. McSwain, of South Carolina, a member of the committee, said: "The census committee has in charge any legislation affecting the reappointment of membership in the house. The action of the committee fixed a policy and course of 1 procedure to be followed. It was decided that instead of exterminating blanket charges supported by hearsay testimony, there must, first, be introduced a bill or resolution directing an investigation as to some particular election in some specific state or states, where, it is claimed that male citizens have been denied the right to vote. Then testimony will be heard only fromt hose who know the facts. It can easily be seen that such procedure will confine those who complain to the facts and to the truth of each case and will shut off reckless and unfounded charges that originate in prejudice and suspicion and are calculated to intensify feeling but can do no good. Home Coming Noted in Cope. Cope, June 4.?The following young women are at home for the summer holidays: Misses Elma Thomas, teacher at Lamar; Elsie Gray, teacher in Spartanburg county; Lucile Tatum, teacher in North Carolina; Lillian Tatum, teacher at Hunter's Chapel', Margaret Cleckley, of Chicora college; Evelyn Henery, of Brenau college conservatory, and Lucy Ingraham, from the high school at Hemingway.

Henery arrived Friday night from Ehrhardt and Mrs. C. S. Henery, of Raleigh and other points in Uorth Carolina, where he has been visiting for the past week. F. E.

Chicago.?"We are not going to hell, even if the rest of the world is, so lengthen your skirts or shorten your legs, and b.e decent," Wilbur Glenn Voliva, ruler of Zion City, told the girls of his domain. "You have either got to add twice as much goods to your dresses or burn them up and get new ones." ? Visits Bamberg; id Over Subscribed ' 000, and mora than $37,500 was raised the first day. "If there ever was a time when we had something to talk about," said the bishop, "it is now. We must do this thing to save our children, our church and our state." He related the sad fate of Germany, how the German leaders had itrayed awa; from God, and stated that many of our people had secured their educa tion in Germany and had brought back with them German heresies. "What happened to Germany can happen to America," he warned the audience. The present depression, he said, was no cause for pessimism, and he asked the people to have faith in God's promises, and all will be well. As a matter of fact, said he, condij tions are rapidly improving., and he told of a recent visit to the coal fields, where eight or ten trains of 80 to 90 cars each were loaded with coal ready for shipment, and that the output | was fast getting back to normal. "There is all the difference in the j world between education and Chrisi tian education," said he, and he ! pleaded for an education that would lend Christian influences, and prayed for a deliverance from such conditions as prevail in Russia, where government signs are posted, "There is no God; man has no soul." Christian education must so influence our people that such a condition will be impossible in our land. Our country j now has less regard for law than ever before, and nothing but the power of God can save us. The Baptists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians and others have realized the conditions facing us, and have gone to work to remedy i them. Now the Methodists have their turn, and they must not fail. Sheriff Tells Graphic Story. Colorado Springs, Colo., June 6.? Frank Ducra, sheriff of Messa county whose home is at Grand Junction, was one of the few survivors of 200 passengers on Denver and Rio Grande train No. 3 which arrived in Pueblo | on Friday night at 8 p. m. Just as the train pulled up to the bridge over the Arkansas river, leading into the union station, it was stopped, he said. "We were left there," he said. "On the next track was a Missouri Pacific train. WTe had been there only a short time when he heard the roar of waters and the flood lapped at the coach steps and began rising rapidly. It was . soon rushing through the car. Some of us -went up and down the car5 quieting the passengers, many of whom wrere screaming and moaning and praying. "A young girl was sitting in her seat crying. I stopped to reassure and cofnfort her. She said she was from Chicago, and sobbingly called out 'dadrtv rladdv " T fold her WP WOUld look after her and cheered her?but, well, I saw her swept away as the water rushed into the coaches and carried us out through windows and doors. "An old lady sat in her seat smiling just before the water flooded in on us. She declared that if it were hervtime to go, she was prepared and kept on smiling. I reckon she died in her seat. I saw a young man sitting in an upper berth with his mother, consoling her. She was praying. "In the water we clung to the coaches of the train which were swaying back and forth with the waves and striking the coaches of the Missouri Pacific train. "Screams and cries of anguish rose. I saw some people go to their deaths crushed between the two trains. A great pile of lumber came rushing down upon us, sweeping over us, striking some of those clutching there with precarious hold on the cars. They were torn loose and went floating down to death. I saw a man break his way through the top of a coach only to be washed down the flood. "On either side of us, houses and barns and other buildings were swirling down. Many people were cling I ing to them,. I saw two women on the | top of a house. The structure struck I the bridge and crumbled like an egg i shell. I saw their white hands a moj ment on the water. "'Morning came. The waters had i been receding. Those of us who were left?about 60?were able to reach | the ground and walk around in wai ter above our knees. "Some of the unconscious women ! and children were left in the dark. It was a scene of devastation and death. It was awful. "T cannot say what the loss might be. I know it must be far over a ! hundred lives for at least that many, | I am sure were lost off our train and the Missouri Pacific train, though more from the last named train were | found alive. Pueblo's disaster is one | of the worst in the history of the ; west." Read The Herald, $2 per year.
