A recent map published shows the different routes. One of the routes-the Wright Bros. route-starts at Washington and runs - through Charlotte, Spartanburg, Green ville, and thence a direct course to At anta. This being the case the lower section of Pickens county would be in this route. While Pickens county's roads may not be inviting for some kinds of mail routes, we feel sure the air would be perfect, and no complaint made along this line. Many persons feel offended because their comings and goings are not men tioned while those of others are, and wonder what the matter can be. The explanation of the matter is that the editor means to be impartial, but some escape mention. The likes and dislikes of an editor have nothing to do with it, and while it is not pretended that the editor is more than human, he knows that the success of his journal depends on his fairness and impartiality to all. It is the best way always when a notice is desired to mention it to the editor, or communicate through the post office. No one feels any worse about any seem ing neglect or partial performance of duty than the elitor himself. Bill, The Former Kaiser W'3 nts that Bill th.- former Kaiser. miys that he expects to return to Ger many, in the near future, but we don't think Bil will do such a thing. We don't believe he ha.s the least idea of going Lak to Germany. The fact of the busine~s is he is afraid, and then Bill is not in the habit of doing what he says he wil! le said he was going to be in Pari= on a certain Thanksgiving, he also said he was not going to take any foorlihness from America when the war wa- over, but he did neither, and everybody r.r.ows that he will not. Bill may go back to Germany but it it will not be because he wants to go. The truth is no one is going to take any foolshness off of Bill and nobody knows it any better than Bill does. NO, Bill has r. intention of r turning to Germany. kthm outy Chapter Red ia B ie Showing. The annual meeting of the Pickens County Chapter of the American Red Cross was held in the Court House Wed * nesday Nov. 20th, 1918. Reports from all the branches showed1 wonderful activity' among its members, and the summary given in the report of Director of Women's Work showed that the chapter had made and shipped headquarters during the year, 10.824 articles at a cost of $1760. Much has been accomplished in Home I Service department and the detailed report will be published later.

About 65 per cent of the population make no profession of religiop. There are 45,000 white children not connected with any Sabbath school. South Carolina ranks next to the bot tom of the states of the union in illit eracy. The rural church situation is wholly s unsatisfactory, many of them having preaching only once a month and served by an absentee preacher. Every city and town has a population that may be characterized as slums, where vice and crime are propagated. The state is being systematically can vassed by the Mormons. The foes of home' missions are God lessness, drink, the social evil, gam bling, ignorance, the Godless money power. Sabbath desecration, false and corrupt religions. The forces of home missions are: 6,000 churches and Sunday schools, Y. M. C. A., Y. W.C. A., Salvation Army, Christian homes, Christian schools and colleges, evangelism, friendly press, Gospel mission work. We have a homogeneous people, speaking one languge, Sabbath-keep ing, church-going, and home-loving. There wll probably be a large influx of foreigners after the war. We must make the state first in character, re ligion, in educational and spiritual power. Sunday School Convention At Pickens Mill Church a On next first Sunday evening at 2:00 1 o'clock p. m. there will be held at the Pickens Mill Baptist church a district I Sunday school interdenominational con- I 'ention where an interesting program t will be rendered. Churches of all de- h nominatins are requested to send as g their delegation their Sunday school s superintendents, officers and teachers. I All Sunday schools who are interested 5 n better Sunday i:ch'.ol work and the f nodern plan of teaching are urged to rrange for their officers and teachers 0 o attend this meeting. Men who have it nade the Sunday school their life study w sill be there to discuss these great luestions. Some four-minute speakers nay be sent to the Sunday schools on :he morning of the first Sunday and i;. s hoped that the schools will gladly , -eceive the men. If your school holds tl ts meeting in the afternoon let the r superintendent and teachers come to t the convention and leave the school in ether hands. - - 13. G.

In clean,Alr-tigh A e havt con!tbuted an ! nes ters to the dear old Sentinel since, it changed hands we decided to pencil a ew-thoughts lest the new editor might raoe our name. No news of interest as - the "flu" is md has been in every house and one fellow is not able to go and tell the oth ir one the news. The have been some deaths on the sill and some in the surrounding com nunity from this disease. Cateechee has had two trained nurses 'or a while and has one at this writing. Cateechee can boast of one of the best )hysicians in the county if not the State-Dr. W. A. Woodruff-who has idden almost day and night since this lisease started and has wonderful good uck. Mr. W.A. Burgess, the efficient man iger of the company store, has resigned md gone to Gastonia, N.C. accept a )osition there He has been succeebed )y Mr. Terrel of Greenville. The many friends of J. F. Williams will be sorry to learn that his health e no better. Rumor has it that Cateechee will moon have a new postmistress in the erson of Miss Josie Garrett, youngest laughter of Mr. J. F. Garrett, Mr. J.F. Williams having resigned on account of is health. Mr. and Mrs. G.W. Gaillard, of Lib :rtv received the sad news of the death )f their son, Joseph E. Gaillard, who vent to the training camps on Aug. 7th md later was sent to France. His >arents received notice one week that te had arrived safe and the next week eceived the sad news that he was dead. le died from pneumonia which was rought on by the "flu." Joe was a ood boy and a member of the Norris baptist church. He was in 26th year. is death was very lamentable from he fact that he never did get to come ome after going to the camp. The riei stricken parents have our ympathy. The writer is glad peace is in sight but arry the war ended before old Kaiser ill got what was due him. The writer anticipates writing a piece n what he thinks about America feed ig the Germans. provied the editor ill allow us space. "B" Death of Henry Edens One of the saddest experiences of the riter since his entry in the work of 1e ministry occurred last Tuesday, lovember 19, when it became his task r> conduct the funeral survice of Mr. lenry Edens, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Edens of the Oolenoy section. It was his pleasure to unite Mr. Edens in narriage with Miss Connelly, daughter f Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Connelly, of the rriffin section, only a few months ago. This young couple had started out on ,happy and prosperous journey with riany friends to greet them along the vay. May God bless the father and nother and especially the young wid wed bride in this dark hour of their ore bereavement. He also leaves ight brothers, oine of which is wounded ri France. For more than a year and] a half {enry has been a faithful member of he Griflin Baptist church, where his emains wvere laid to rest. WVe believe hat H-enry is safe in the arms of Jesus there he heckons the coming '.ofi the ne he loved so dearly. May the';great lod guide the footsteps of this young ,idow until she again joins hands with er loving companion on yonder shore ,hose parting will be no more. Rev. B. G. Field.
