Chalmers McDermid. , t , - \ ... ti all over the western part of (Wednesday) mominfr in an Augusta South Carolina is beginning to show hospital. She was fib -years of age the effects of too little fertilization. Lots of fields which I. have been in ring the past two weeks have a bwish cast, and the bushes are net the deep green we are sp accus tomed to see. Maybe that fact will have some ef fect on this State’s final cotton yield, and was the widow of the’ late C. C. Langley. At the time that The.Peo- P 1 * Sentinel closed its forms, funetai arangements had not been announced, but it is understod that services will be held at her late residence and that the bo<Jy will be laid to rest this {Thursday) afternoon in the Sever and we won’t have the crop that the Pines Churchyard, beside the remains Department of 'Agriculture has pro of loved ones gone before. Mrs. Laugley is survived by two sons, T. J. Langley, of Barnwell, and I. Lewis Langley, of Lynchburg, Va., who have the sincere, sympathy of many friends in their bereavement. The Ginning Situation. • It is very gratifying to note the cooperation of the gins in the county in reference to establishing uniform prices that are leasonable for gin- nip^, bagging and ties. It appears JhK ,Pn*YWl>n» prM'U are $2.50 per bale for ginning,, bagging and ties, using a two pound bagging. Where three pound bagging is used the price is $2.75. The County Agent has visited a number of the gins_ in the county within the last few days and finds some wide variation in the prices of seed being paid, ranging from 12c to 17c per bushel. The two gins at Blarkville and the one at Lees on Monday were paying 17c per bushel fo r seed and offering to giv 0 an equal amount of eotton seed meal for the seed. * Both of the gins at Barnwell are offering 'to trade meal for seed on the same basis as at Blackville and Lers. Farmers are sti* mgly urged to trade their seed for meal a* offered ub< >ve or carry them home until later. It is believed that within the next lew. days the prices on seed and op portunities for trading will be satis factorily worked cut by all the gin* in the county.—Piepared by H. G. Boylston, county agent. Improved Uniform International Lesson (By BEV. R B. F1TZWATER. t>. D b«r of Faculty. Moody Btkl* InutHute of Chicago.) I I D. D..

Aug. 2.T—“A house and eight or ten acres of land and shift for yourself,” seems to be the flrogiam which will bo put into ef fect on farm s in thi* county for th.* next 12 months. % It is understood that farmers in different sections of the country have already notified the.r farm labor that thi* i* nlrout all they ear, expert from the landlord the coming year. The laborers are l*eing advised to put in ad the feed crops they can during the next 12 months in order to insure feed f i h ir sti ck and I themselves. In return, the land >rds | 1 an ' * ‘ will require halt <.f the crop produced on the land whether it be corn, peas, sweet potatoe- o r what not.. There will he no advance* for fer tilizers, and the laborers will have to depend entirely upon their own resources in making the next year’s crop, and this err»p. they are being urged, should be assurance that they will net suffer for anything to eat. Card of Appreciation. The family of the late W. S.

Lots of demonstration fed hogs arc going to the markets this month and most of the growers are getting moio money per acre from-them than they are from almost any.other agri cultural product.. 1 heftrd Mr. Hawkins of the Fed- • oral Livestock Division state last Monday that South Carolina uses the carcasses of 2,000,000 hog s -every year ami that we only raise a few ovei 300,000. So that statement does away with any doubts us to whether or not .we are overdoing the matter It looks like more and more people would go into the hog business every day. especially when they can make 2 cents pel pound on their anihnals. * ' w I was in one county in North Caro- lira spring lK‘fore la*t and the local Chamber of Commerce told me that hcg> brought in a million dfdlar*“V year to that county. That’s some rfcoid. • A Wonder what Bamberg. Colleton, Beaufort. Barnwell, Dorchester, Char leston. Georgetown or sum,, of the othei low* country counties would feel like if They had a million dol lar* fi..m ANY crop, much, less from pigs? . We are learning, by degrees. I rote that Beaufort will ship ten or twelve cars of hogs shortly. Charles ton has shipped two cars this week end will ship more shortly, berg, Barnwell and Dorchester have ship|H>(i some and will ship more, but I we haven’t nearly ^cached the ■satura tion point yet. according4o Mr. Haw- l kins. j Let's get bu*y and make 7 and fL ‘le^t-hegs pay us bigger returns than! |fi c<*nts cotton and tight old man da-! pression in that way. We can’t make ti fortune out of pigs, but w*e a steady, good living. Let’s tnjsKc this old low country a corn and pig count!y.

I. Barnabas and Saul Return from Jerusalem (12:25). The Christians at Jerusalem were in need because of a famine which had come upon the worlih—When news of this reached believers at Antioch, they-were moved witty sympathy for them, nnd rcl vf was sent at the hand of Barnahas and Saul. On their re turn from this .ministry, they were ac companied by John Mark. II. Gifts of the Church at Antioch (v. 1). Young ns was this new religions center. It had prophets and teachers. Such are easentiul to right church life. In Ephesians -1: S-12 Is enumerated the gITTit which when Christ ascended on high he gave to men for the perfect ing of the saints unto the work of tlie ministry- Gifts iu the Church are not for the.Church itself, but to enable It (q perform service for'others. III. Barnabas and Saul Sent Forth (vv. 2. 3). This marks the beginning of foreign missions as the deliberately planned , enterprise of the Church. 1. The occasion (v. 2). While the tUe prophets and tearhera were fast ing nod prating, the Holy Spirit com manded them to send forth Barnabas and Saul. The work of evangelizing world was laid s<* heavily u|>on that they pc framed <aom eating In order to seek the will of God In prayer. This Is the kind of fasting that has God's approval The missionary enterprise ia the Index to the spirituality of a church. The emp tiness of missionary treasuries and the falling off of missionary candi dates reveal the unspirituaiity of the home base. • 2. The divine command (v. 2). The Holy Ghost aatd. "Separate me Barna bas and Saul.” The real cull to Christ* Ian service comes from the Holy Splr- It. The Spirit called, the Church re- sjioiided by sending out those called by him. -Spirit-tUled Christians know the voice of the Holy Spirit. The Spir it called, and the best men which the Church at Antioch had were sent out. .*!. The obedience (v. 33. After fast ing and prayer, Barnahas ami Saul Were sent out. The iiieu were ready to go. •I. Instant obedience was rendered. Those who have received the Spirit’s call jpre not taken by surprise-when they are commissioned by the Church. There should he no holding back on the part of the Church, nor of the w orkers w hen I he Spirit calls. By the workers when the Spirit culls. IV. Preaching the Word of,God in Cyprue (vv. 4. 0). We are not told as to why they fltst went to Cyprus, hut we are left to infer that it was owing to the fpet - that Cyprus was the home of Barna bas. He was acquainted with the country anil the people nnd could he thus assured- of a ’ respectable hear- ihg among them. Besides, it was most natural that those who hail heard the good news go first with it to their kindred and friends. Andrew first went to his brother, and the man out of whom the demons were cast was denied the pleasure of following .fesus , in.order that he might go and tell his kindred. As they went forth-they carefully carried out their commis sion, for they preached the Word of God. Those who are faithful to God will preacii nothing but his Word. The great need today Is Spirit-called and Spirit-filled men pleaching God’s Word. V. Withstood by Elymas, the Sorcer- -♦e (vv^ G-HiL — Sergjus Tuulus.‘the deputy, invited Barnabas- and Saul to tell him of God’s . Word. Elymas maliciously sought to turn his mind from the faith. He-sought to bar the gospel a§ it entered upon its mission of converting the heathen. Paul came to the front and denounced Elymas in llie njost* scathing terms. He called him the child of the Devil, denounc ing him ns full of guile and yjUainy, pronouncing him the enemy_ of all righteousness, nnd accusing him of TpeAerting the right ways of the Lord. Surely.a man is never more a villain Ilian when he tn^s to turn a soul fronl God. " Social and Personal News from Willistdn Williston, Aug. 22.—Mr/ and Mrs r L. S.
