C. iickson is taken from the Ilaptist Press, being contributed to that pa- mr by a friend: The Rev. F. C. Hickson, of Gaffney, vho is one of the strongest men in the iroad River association, has resigned is pastor of all his churches, and will est and travel n ‘X year. Brother Hickson was ordained to the ministry about .29 years ago has been preaching ever since he was a boy and has never taken a day of rest. He has been pastor of churches continually since his ordination until now. except for two years when he was a missionary in China. Although he has done extra hard work in the ministry, preaching every Sunday and many week dav~ during taese 29 years, yet he has never got ten a living out of it except the two years he was in China. With his hands and head he has nude eight or ten thousand dollars besides his sal ary for preaching all of which he has used to keep himself “going" In the ministry. He has given directly into the treasury of our devotional work, nearly $2,000. He ha.s carried more than his share of the civic burdens of whatever coun ty he has lived in. He has never re ceived even expenses for any services he has rendered the public outside of the ministry, but has made hundreds of speeches and given hundreds of days and traveled hundreds of miles in interest of civic righteousness, and he has never taken a dollar of nav for it all. He does not begrudge any ser- \Jce he has ever rendered any person or pause, although he has gotten little enough thanks for it often times. He lid it all freely and has had his re- .vaid and will receive a still greater me some time. In these years he has made many Hends and enough enemies surely. !{* has been a hard fighter, but has never fought a single battle for him self. When men have stricken him lias borne it. hut when they have stricken his Lord- or his friends he has giv< n them the heaviest ami dead liest blows he could. His own ene mies have gone unwhipped, but if the enemies of his Lord and his friends have escaped it was because he couldn't whin them. If he lives U> be 70 years old be has nearly as many years to work as he has already work ed. He has no plan for those years and don’t proi os-' to trv to make any. He is really full ef joy in the thought that God will tak.; care of them and himself. He is ready to work and ready to rest. He is ready to die. Surely he has done as good work for God and the State, and may the Lord use him yefTnore for thQ_advance of the Kingdom. PREPARATIONS FOR ELECTION.

"O, cheer up." retorted Billings. “Be consoled hi the thought, that after the fonetic alterashuns sanschuned by the Prezident your dikshonary will be a more unabridged than ever." “But there is mv old friend double P," moaned Webster.

Madison, Wla GOLDEN NUGGETS FOR SALLOW PEOPLE Did A s H e Was Told. An amusing instance of “literal mindedness” was afforded not long ago by a bell boy in a hotel in Wash ington. One of the guests, a congressman from the west, had hurried to the ho tel cb-rk’s counter. He had just ten minutes In which to pay his bill, reach the railway station and board his train. When he hastily had transacted his business with the clerk and had turn ed » dash out of the door, it sudden- !v occurred to him that he had forgot ten something. “Here, boy!” shouted he to a diminutive negro on the bench, “run to room No. 48 just as quick as you can and see whether I have left a box on the bureau. But hurry, as I have only five minutes." The boy rushed up the stairs. In two or three minutes he returned, out of breath. "Yes, sail,” he panted, “you left it. sah!” The man who gets blue over trifles is apt to alter the color scheme by painting things red. Letter to Limestone Springs Lime Co.» Gaffney, S. C. Dear Sirs: We asked City Drug Co, Crystial Springs. Miss, to sell De- voe. They wanted to know, of their own knowledge, how it compared with another paint they knew all about— it was sold right there, and consider ed good. They painted the house of W B McCluney two coats on purpose to test the two paints against one anoth er: one coat Devoe 6 gallons: the other coat tnat other paint 10 gallons. Difference $20; $7 for paint. $13 for labor. • * That other paint is made in New Orleans; fa,pure; is considered an excellent paint, and has a good deal of local goodwill. But the standard of paint has been low all through tye southwest. That paint Is thin: it is. you see. six tenths of a paint. Devoe saves $20 over it on half a small lob. It is a case of local best compared with actual best. Yours truly 15 F W DEVOE & CO P. 8.—R. M. Wilkins Hardware Co. sell our paint.
