A Good Name is Rather to Be Chosen Than Great Riches The following is an outline of the ad dress delivered by Rev. D. W. Hiott at the dedication of the Mauldin Memorial Home at Connie Maxwell orphanage at Greenwood, September 2, 1916: Solomon, the wisest man from a hu mah standpoint-and under Divine in spiration-made that declaration, and it is true. How to make a good name is to obey the word of God when it says "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His rightousness and all these things shall be added unto you." The man who makes money for money's sake, that he may hoard it or use it only for himself, is not wise. But the man who makes money and uses it for the good of others is acting wisely and making a good name. Laban Mauldin did that. Seventy four years ago, just on the Anderson and Pickens county line, a little boy was born. His father and mother were very poor people so far as property was con cerned. This boy with several others had to work hard* to help support the family. After crops were laid by he would go to school a few weeks at a time. In this way he learned to read, write and, as they called it then, cipher a little. He grew to young manhood, went to the Confederate service and served through the war in the famous Hampton Legion, serving as a corporal. After the war was over he returned to his home and married Miss Mollie Rog ers, who proved an helpmeet indeed to him. They were both industrious and economical and after many years of earnest labor they accumulated a splen did property. - My acquaintance with Brother Maul din and his wife began about 39 years ago when they were both young. I be came pastor of Enon church in Pickens county where they were members. They were good, upright people butnot active members of the church in the ivaf sof church work. The church haQl go 8:/nday s'jhool at this time, and I pers'uaded Bro. S. A. Gary and Bro. Liaban Mauldin to undertake to carry ort a' Sunday scho'ol at the church. Tf ey both declared at first that they li 4'ed too far away, but I finally per suaded them to try it, which they did] with wonderful success. Bro. Gary, who was converted at 9 years of age, was at this time fifty or fifty-five years old. He became so aroused in the work that at the age of 60 he was ordained to the ministry and baptized many into the fellowship of the churches which he served. He baptized one young boy who is now one of the leading preachers in Georgia, a trustee of Mercer Uni *versity. I refer to Rev. James F. Single ton. Brother Mauldin was neveror dalned to the ministry but was ordained a deacon and was a great helper'to his pastors. He went to nearly all of the Union Meetings and talked on Sunday schools and unions. He had no children of his own but took one of his wife's nieces and cared for hei- as his own, and she shared in his proper'ty at his death. In his political life he served his county in the following offices: County commissioner, school commissioner and member of the legislature, and in all he was faithful. When the orphanage whs founded-. 24 years ago--ho at once began to t e an interest in it, He gave liberally to Its suppor~ HVaas elected' a trtjste of the COnnie M'twell orphanage 'ed was a trustee et the time of his desith.

Many times in conversation with him during the later years of his life he told me that after he had prayed over it and thought over it he had decided to put his money into this Memorial Home In memory of his beloved wife. Why do we build monuments? Ser geant Jasper's monument is built in memory of a heroic deed. The Confed erate monument is built in memory of the fallen dead. This home will stand ndefinitely and another one .will be 3rected and so it will go on, providing shelter for the homeless for all time to ,ome, in memory of a loving wife. Connie Maxwell orphanage has its name and a large part of its property in memory of a beloved daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Maxwell. Mrs. Hetty Green, the richest woman In this country, lost all her property be eause it was not invested for the Lord ror humanity. Laban Mauldin saved'his property be !ause it was wisely invested for the Lord and helpless orphan children. He sought the Lord in childhood He served Him when a youth. He loved the Lord in manhood He served Him in the truth. He loved the Lord in old age And when his hair turned gray He gave the Lord all that he had And closed his eyes on earthly scenes And opened them in Heaven. After the above address was deliver ?d the dedication prayer was offered by Rev. H. K. Williams of Easley. The following visitors attended from .he Piedmont Association of which Mr. Wauldin was a member: Rev. H. K. Williams, Dr. W. R. Wyatt, Laban Rogers, Walter Evatt and two little laughters, Lois and Rosebud, Dr. and M4rs. L. L. JTameson, Senator W. T. YDelI, W. C. O'Dell, Hon. J. Ashmore 1-inton, Frank Hinton, B. D.

Newspaper. On Wednesday, August 9, just after noon, the sad news flashed over the country that W. C. Garrett was drowned in Tennessee river, near Eastport land ing, where he lived This news came as a great shock to his family, relatives and many friends. Mr. Garrett came toTishomirgo county about two and a half years ago from Norris. S. C., and had been engaged in farming on the river. At the time of the sad accident which a caused his death he was out in the river in a boat gathering mussels, when by some chance, we know not how, the boat turned over and he began swim ming for the shore and crying for help, but when within a short distance of the shore and before help could reach him he sank to rise no more. While Mr. Garrett had only been in our midst a short while he hadl made many friends, as everyone who chanced to know him loved him. He was a christain, a good citizen, a goodl neigh bor, and was always ready and willing to help in a good cause. His body was brought to luka and was sent to Norris, S. C., for burial. Mr. Garrett leaves a wife and two hildenfather and mother, broth ers and sisters and a host of friends to niourn their loss. May the Infinite Father of us all heal the broken hearts of the bereaved.

From Mr. Tillman Mr. Editor: I ask for space in your .olumns to thank those who supported ne for Congress in the recent primary, ,go man appreciates more than I do the mupport which was so freely given in that contest. I think I might be par doned in calling to the attention of those who voted for me as a source of pride in their vote the results as shown by the ballots of my home people. Edge field county is my native county, where I was born and raised, and in the Edge leld part of McCormick county I re !eived 327 votes to my opponents' 147. n Greenwood city, my home, I receiv d 630 votes to a combined vote against ne of 335, and in Greenwood county received 1458 votes t6 a combined vote ,gainst me of 1514. When it is remem ered that this is Congressman Aiken's Id home I feel justifiable pride in the bove figures. There is no - sting in defeat when it arries with it the testimony of the re ard and esteem of one's neighbors and ihatever may be my future in politics will never receive a vote that I will ppreciate more than I appreciate the otes given me last Tuesday, and I hope hat I will never do anything in the uture to cause any man to regret the ote he cast for me then. I made my anmpaign on issues vital to the people nid sought to enlighten and elevate the udiences to wich I spoke. Every man vho runs a race wants to win and I vas no exception to the rule, but in iguring the summer's, work I have no egrets. I ran a clean race in a clean vay and t~he consciousness of It is worth nore than a victory unvvorthily won. Respectfully, . - H. C. TILLMAN. From Mr. Craig Please allow me to thank my good riends, many of whom I do not know, 'or their support in the recent election. Mhile I was defeated I respect myself md the things for which I stood andam n no way dispirited over my failure. I eel that the cause of education needs ;he things for which I stood as bad is I need the office; and since it was mpossible for me to canvass the county md place my views before the people I willl. in all probability be a candidate our years hence. I don't want to die whipped. I feel Ike 'the poet who said: "He who fights and runs away, Shall live to fight another day; But he who in battle is slain Shall ne'er renew the fight again." Respectfully, C. L. CnAIG. Pickens, S. C. Sept. 11, 1916. From Mr Dagnall As it will be impossible for me to see and thank personally each voter, I take this method of expressing my apptecia tion to those who so I".-ally supported me in my race for congress, and I shall always be grateful to those who consid ered me worthy of representing the district in congress.
