Appreciates New Subscribers.
. V o
The management of The Press
and Standard desires to thank th<-
many friends of the paper paving
their subscriptions now. Saturday
was a big day in the way of roller
tions on subscriptions, and quite a
few new subscribers were added.
We are glad to know that our ef
forts to make The Press and Stand
ard a necessary rounty institution
is being appreciated. But it is a
T»oor rltixen who will not subscribe
to the' county newspaper, and help
thereby to build up an agency
which Is always working for the
good of the county an<f the people
generally. It Is all right for the
people of the county to subscribe to
•out of the county papers—after they
are subscribing to their home pape
One cannot take too many paper?
If they are all read, but no home In
the county should try to get alone
without the county newspaper.
That District Parsona**.
An effort was made at Kstill Fri
day at the meeting of the District
Conference of the Charleston Dis
trict to have the district parsonage
'‘located at Walterboro. This is a
matter in which all our people
should be vitally interested Irre
spective of denominational lines.
To have the headquarters of the
Methodists for the Charleston Dis
trict located at Walterboro would
be a good thing for the town and
for the county. We trust that th's

'WITH HILLY HI’NDAY
Strange things occur in Billy Sun
day’s meetings. We take the follow
ing prayer scene from an account of
one of his services last week in- New
York: “’God 1 read in the papers
today where a judge named Rosalsky
sent a fellow to jail for six months
for distrlbutiijg literature advising

our flag!’ There was a thunderous
burst of applause, and the prayer
was interrupted for half a minute.
Then the evangelist went on: And
don’t let us forpej about your fight,

me about when >fhi said. “Bill. I’m
