TRUTH,AFTER ALL is the advertising pole that knocks the persimmon off the business tree. We advertise nothing that we do not have, and we make no assertions that we cannot substantiate in every particular—that’s what has in spired the unbounded confidence our patrons have in us and makes “Wilkins’* a trade mark for good goods and honest dealings.

Rock Hill Buggies DR. JNO. C. KILGO Preached to a Large Congregation at Bu ford Street Church Sunday. Dr. Jno. C. Kilgo, president of Trinity College, preached to a large ongregation at 11 a. m., on “The Ascension of Christ.” He took the position that preachers and leaders should always be ahead of their peo ple. He made an earnest plea for Christian charity and a broader spirit of toleration. At night Mr. Steadman preached to a large congregation on the subject of “Christian Duty.” This was the first sermon of the series for the special services. The personal re sponsibility of the individual Christ ian was stressed. The world judges men by their conduct, and not by their profession. Every church has some members who neutralize to a certain extent the work of the church. How often God’s cause has to contend not only with “the world, flesh and the Devil,” but with the inconsistent church mem ber. Often the artillery of the church when trained |on the strongholds of Satan, is spiked by those who profess to be followers of God. Men who have to be tagged to tell which side they are on. Services will he held at 4:30 p. m. and 8:15 p. m. each day during the week. Mr. Steadman atked the co operation of the Christian peonle of the town. Rev. W. R. Potter and Rev. A. C. Cree were both present and many of their congregations. On Thursday at 4:30 p. m. there will be “A Mother’s Meeting.” and on Friday and Saturday p. m. at 4:30 there will be special services for the children. But these services will not be confined to these classes, but the public is cordially invited to at tend all services. Mr. Steadman closed the announce ments with these requests: “Pray for the meetings, come to the meet ings yourself and use your inflence to get others to come.” THE GERMAN.

Robbery at Limestone Mills Store, A thief or thieves broke into the Limestone Mills Company store Thursday night and broke open the money drawer, took it and its contents out and threw them in a wheat patch nearjby. There were only a few dollars in the drawer and the thieves took less than a dollar with them. Sheriff Thomas and Officer Hallman took the sheriff’s dogs to the place Friday morning and they took the track and trailed it some dis tance but as the thieves had been gone six or seven hours and the morning was very dry, they could not follow them. If any goods were stolen they have not been missed. So the thieves are away and may never be caught, but they have less tl.an a dollar of stolen money with them to ever remind them that they are rogues.
