Knght: "The committee on resolutions calls attention to some things that it is believed will pro\> helpful in the Sunday school work in this dis- trict': \ 'v . It Is to be desired that there should be a Sunday school in every church. . / 2. Beyond this there are places Where no church is. organized that a school may be organized, and is greatly needed. If this opportunltj is used there may result a strong church, as well as a great good to the. people. This is one ot out; duties as a ehucch, and as Sunday school workers.' 3. The idea of the Christian religion is to sav^. and It should be an object of the Sunday school, as a | est and there 1^ no doubt but that we. as farmer*', to whom the world looks for breed and>meat. should get reedy for the ravage* of the -glM- ♦ ruettve weevil. \ \\4 have, read of the damages and rtvhinus work done by the weevil and we have been told tithe and time again that be is coming with his des. true live work. Therefore as cotton ruymers it is very unwise to make* no effort toward diversified farming and live Stock raising. Knowing that if we do not that we will be caught in somewhat a similar plight to the unwise virgins. Somebody says yes. but the ad vent of the weevil |s hut prattle. We’ll suppose for a moment it is It is only necessary to look around you now and see the had effects of one crop system and prove the great need of diversified agriculture. !gd’« remember upon diversification we can build, and upon the present one- crop system we must bee. Let’s get together to aid each oth er in building up the live stock in dustry without which we ran never become as independent, happy and progressive farmers. Our next meeting will he announc ed laier. We desire the co-opera tion of-every man and woman who is in the Ifcasf interested in diversi fied farming and live stock raising— the two inseparable pursuits. . A. P. SMITH, Sec. Smoaks, S. C.

Thi, resolution was* read to the ntcreswfu applicant and he agreed to its pro visions before bis election <o’V firmed. This does not forbid noli, . man’s casting bis ballot in anv town election, but it was signed to prevent an active par^an poU"; cal fight being ma<l,e by an off! m of the town, as was tlone in the re cent municipal election. The salary of the Chief of I (jMce was fixed at 47" and he Is required to furnish feed for his horjef Ert'c Lights and Water. / A -resolution was^passed by the council recommeeting to the Kerxice Commission that free ligh s and water be furnished the KsDnrn In fir mar v for one year from July 1 l‘*l^T It was argued that the es tablishment of this up-to-date Infir mary filled a long felt need in (he town and as the town, furnish** free water and lights to manufacturing plants being established, there cou d bp no good reason' why the sam< should not be done by tbe town foi the Infirmary.
