Gradually the rural communities of Laurens county are being connected up by a system of local telephones. Recently an association was formed in the Long Branch section with a full list of subscribers, Including Messrs M. A. Snmeral. U. L. Holland and other farmers of that prosperous section of the county. However, there are a number of fine localities not yet in touch by 'phone with the towns and various communities of the county, Take for instance, the Eden section, Shlloh, Merna. Dials. Rnbun, Friendship. Hickory Tavern. Ekom, Brewerton, Mount Pleasant?all these localities are made up of prosperous farmers and enterprising citizens whose busi ness and social ideations with the rest of the county could he brought Into closer touch by means of the rural telephone system. The cost of establishing a local line is small and the annual dues are moderate, wiille the advantages are manifold and the service indispensable after adopted. Mr. ,L I,. Hopkins to Columbia.

Continuing his series of special I Sunday evening sermons, the Rev. William E. Thityer, pastor of the First Baptist church, on last Sabbath even ing took as his theme "The Newspaper as a Factor in the Kingdom of God." basing Iiis discourse on the cxt as recorded by Mark, 13th chapter, 10th verse. The facilities for gathering am! dis emlnating news have in all ages beon adequate and this tremendous enter prise has kept pace with the times. The newspapers, daily, weekly and semt-wekly, secular, religious ami Beml-rellglous wield a powerful In fluence In all civilized nations. The big dailies throb and pulsate with the happenings of the world each day. while all carry the news of county, State, nation and the world to mil lion of homes at short intervals. Scm Iment, good and bad. Is molded by the editors, and for that reason newspa per writers and journalists assume great responsibility in so speaking to the millions of readers throughout the land. Indeed, the editor reaches more people through his paper than the preacher from his pulpit or any other medium known to civilization. The power of the newspaper Is immeasurably great?a tremendous factor Industrially, commercially, so cially and religiously?and the citizen is more or less Influenced by the char acter of his newspaper. The sermon showed careful thought on this great subject and the ideas presented were in the nature of an appear for clean, pure journalism if the paper would the factor in the kingdom of Cod Which is its privi lege. On next Sunday evening Mr. Thayer will preach from the subject. "The Physician as a factor in the Kingdom <>f God." The services will begin at s o'clock, instead of S:f.O. GRAY COURT NEWS NOTES.

A water supply and a bath room in every farm home would revolution ize farm life and in many localities would not be a serious problem at at ail. In some instances it would mean only the cost of iron piping from the spring to the house, the spring not in a few instances being at a height above the house, in other instances tlio water may be carried up the hill from the spring by the use of a lam" which need not cost extrava gantly nor is it difficult to install. A certain superintendent of a cot ion mill purchased the use of a spring from a farmer in the neigh borhood and at a cost of $11 for the 'rain" had a tlow of water sufficient to supply the homes of the mill vil lage. There is a tragedy in this in cident and it lies in the fact that the farmer's wife had carried water from this spring up a 50.f001 embankment throughout her married life for 25 years. I know of a farmer who installed a "ram" to supply his home ot.ai cost of $16. Where there Is not a supply of water of this kind, there are force pumps, windmills, gasoline engines. I know of one farmer who with an attachment to the pump used mule strength for power and filled a tank In the attic for the dally supply of water to the housrt. This method cost practically nothing in outlay and about ten minutes a day In time. ?Raleigh (N. C.) Progressive Farm er and Gazette.

Mr. Wlnslow was cordially received There are in the country 41,077 ru ral carriers, the speaker said, these covering 41, 089 routes and traveling each day a total distance of 1,000,000 miles. No one is better qualified than tho rural carrier to appreciate the condition of the roads. The carrier is not supposed to leave his vehicle in collecting and delivering mail, nor is be required to open and close gates; yet on many routes in this State the ca rrlers could not perform their of ficial functions at all without violat ing the regulations tn ?oth these re spects. On many such routes, fur ther, the carter loses trips in times of had weather and high water, be cause the roads and the bridges are insufficient. Not always will the postofilce de partment tolerate such a state of af fairs, Mr. Wlnslow declared. As an authorized official of a service closely affiliated with that of rural delivery, the speaker gave warning that it is the fixed policy of the government to increase the rural delivery service in sections which provide good roads and to decrease the service where good highways are not furnished. Al ready the process of withdrawal has commenced, after data has been gathered. Numbers or Alabama and Mississippi routes have been discon tinued. In this State Mr. Wlnslow has by instructions taken photographs of representative roads, fords and bridges wherever he has gone, and since this summer he has already visited IIS counties, he now has a fairly complete pictorial description. When these pictures are transmitted to Washington some positive action 01) the part of the government may be expected. Another factor that must he reck oned with is that the government is now experimenting with the automo bile for the rural delivery service, and you can not use a mortor car to advantage on a bad road. The carri ers, too. are demanding higher pay. They will eventually got it. for now they get. on an average, only $11.50 per month and must provide their own outfit. A draught animal used in this service must usually be re placed at the end of three years. The postofJflce department must, in order to provide for this increase in pay. do considerable pruning somewhere -and assuredly part of the enconomy will consist in the discontinuance of routes in sections where bad roads prevail. Immediately after the adjournment of the good roads conference Mr. Wlnslow and Messrs Welch and Kink left in their automobiles for Columbia, reaching there Friday evonlng. Mr. Horton remained to report the politi cal meetings in Laurens and Newher ry. The Record's campaign tor high way improvement closed with the meeting in Winnsboro Monday and a meeting of the newly formed Rich land Good Roads and Drainage League in Columbia Monday night. Mr. Wins low will address the farmers at the Clemson Institute Tuesday and will then report to I e. ofllce of public roads in Washington. MIL HENRY A. MILLS DEAD.
