SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, APKfL ^2, 1931. - Social and Personal ’ News from Williston Williston, March 28.—An informal party was given at the home of Mr. Billy Patfeeraon Friday evening, March 20th, in honor of. Miases Mary Alice and GlizabeUi Player, of Col umbia College. During the evening dancing was enjoyed by all member* present. Miss Harry Delle Thompson rendered several selections on the piano, which was a treat formal! present. The R. A. Boys held their regular meeting Thursday, March 19th, at the home of Mrs. J. C. Bates. A rplendid program wa s rendered. The R. A. Band is growing rapidly, having been organized ohly a short time ago with but seven members. There is now an enrollment of fifteen fcoya: The next meeting will be held' with Ernest Brabham, on Thursday, April 2nd, at four o'clock. The Williston-Elko' Future Farmers of America held their monthly meet ing March 24th at the jligh School. After the reading of the minutes of the last meting by the secretary, a report from the three standing com- - mittoes was adopted.

Only an occasional auto, smash-up. No killings among the colored people. few fish frys and drunks. Not that they go together— but often do. Not so much gadding around foolishly and aimlessly. Peo ple seem to be at work. A man sel dom getg into trouble, when at home attending t2> business. Have you ever known a more peaceful time in the country? Money is tight. That mean a big saving. It*geftpraily burns most pockets. .Should cotton jump to 25 cents a pound, people would get to fighting and wrecking. Agents, helling gold bricks, would flood the country. Installment-buy ing would boom. ^ Debts would pile up. Rainy days would be forgotten. The country would be in an uproar. Taxes wouldn’t amount to a hill of beans. More bonds would be voted. They would be riding a hundred mlte* to see Aunt Sally who would rather 'save her chickens and country hams. Oh, yes, business would boom; but can’t boom 511 the time. The next meeting will be held March’ .‘list, at which firne the newly elected . , These cycles of depression have been <r>ming, occasionally, sinc e the days officers will be installed.

The Christian's influence is best when mingling with his fellows In all right relations and positions in life. II. Jesus Healing a Man With the Dropsy (vv. 2-0). i 1. Why this man was present (v. 2)l While there is no way of absolutely determining, it was most likely a part of the plot of the* Pharisees to trap Jesus by getting him to violate Jive Sabbath rules. 2. Jesus’ question (v. 2). IDs ques- ’ tion was an answer to-.the thoughts of the lawyers "and Pharisees who were watching him. Before healing this man, he submitted his case to their judgment. They were free on the Snhhath to hold a feast where their selfish pride arid vanity could he displayed, but they were horrified that a fellow man should be healed on that day. 3. Jesus healing the man (v. 4). While they were in a state of embar rassment. Jesus healed the man. 1 4. Jesus rebuked tlmin (vv. 5. 0). He laid bare their hypocrisy by sjtowing them that .their willingness to show mercy to a beast on the'Sabbath should induce them to regard ns not 'flnful the relieving of a human being III. Jmuc Rebotces Setftsfi Amtittiprr (w. 711). .j: 1. The occasion (v. 7). He observed that the guests while taking their place* at th^Ttahle chose the best seats for thertiSeivos. This is still true of men' and women In railway eam. hotels. street cars, etc 2. Instruction given (vv. 8-11). When bidden to a feast take the lowest place lest you suffer the humiliation of being -asked to take a Igwer sent. This is more than a lesson on courtesy or table manners. It was a severe re buke of that selfishness which fills the human heart, causing it to seek to be ministered unto instead of minister- Ing to otliers. The declaration of Jesus. “WhosoeVer exulteth himself shall be abused and lie that humbleth .himself shall he exalted.” sets forth the fimdumentul principle of the phil osophy governing Hie moral—world. The one who has experienced the re deeming love of Christ will gladly take the place assigned him. IV. The True Motive in Deeds of Charity (vv. 12-147. .The Jews,.like many of the rich, today, made social dinners occasions for display. They invited only those whose wealth would enable them to recompense them by inviting them )n return.

They- should proceed from the'one aim; namely, .to confer benefits jwitfiout ex pectation of a recompense. Jesus as sured them, however, that-recompense would he made at the resurrection of the Just. V. The Child Example (Luke 18:15- 1"). 7 1. SpirituaT contact with Christ sought for children (v. 15). Presum ably this was done by the parents. The time of all times to effect edn tacj with Christ is in childhood 2.

' • ■/ ; - * ,v Taxes Increased 407° for South Carolina Cotton Mills The abov e chart shows the steady upward trend - of the taxes paid per spindle by South Carolina cotton mills during the past nine years. Each yeat; shows a definite increase except the la?t one. The slight de crease of 1929-30 is oiie brought about not by a reduction of assessments, . but rather by poor conditions that, made it impossible for many'mills' to pay income taxes. ’ . ^ ... - , ^ ■ . . This- inctease of taxes paid per spindle cf 40 jver cent, brings to light the fact that the increase in South Carolina has been greater than in any other • » 1 textile State. While taxes in ether textile State^ have actually in many case$ shown decided decreases, the burden' in South Carolina has steadily grown heavier. The mills in-South* Carolina pay a higher tax per spindle than in. any other textile State in the the United States. ' If thi s tax load in South Carolina is confined to' the cotton mills, then unquestionably the State owes it to its principal industry that it be re lieved, for the sake of competition with other textile States; for the • * * M .W p " sake of the development of the .industry and the building of new textile I 1 -r* plants. If this condition is more or less characteristic of the State at Jarge, then we as South Caolinians owe it to ourselves to further empha size governmental economy, and institute tax reform^ that wdlL reduce the burden. - . ’ 7* SUCH A RECORD HAMPERS THE GROWTH OF THE ENTIRE STATE. •rrrr mi gMnutuinkr'j-rfTrrrrr-p "A* Induatry Prosper*--So Prosper Th* P*oph~ Mrs. Cora Moshier, of 601 North New Orleans Ave., Brinkley, Ark., writes: "I was so constipated until I wss just sick.
