Morgan had the pleas ure of attending the monthly meeting of the Plum Branch W. M. S. in the home of Mrs. Ethan White, last Wednesday afternoon. When once one enjoys the hospi tality of this home one always wants to go again, and the same when welcomed by the efficient W. M. S. president, Mrs. J. L. Brack nell. Mrs. Lankford read and ex plained the scripture lesson from several passages. The president placed the stars on the flag to make the Christian flag. This was very interesting and several took part in it. Mrs. H. M. Free land told the story of a one dollar bill. Mrs. J. A. Self also gave a reading. This band has some advantage over- some societies. The pastor and wife meet with them and take part on programme as well as encourage the work. There were around 14 members present and several visitors. The hostess an nounced that Mrs. White would spin some thread for us. The old spinning wheel was brought in and the wheel did whiz with an exper ienced hand, but took the don’t when some one had never seen thread spun tried. We realized how slow the work must have been in the sixties, but Mrs. White says an experienced hand could weave 8 yards of cloth in a day. After this new, old expereince, a delici ous salad course was most graci ously served by the hostess and several helpers. A most generous helping of chicken salad on a let tuce leaf, pickles, crackers, Sweet sandwich, and a glass of iced tea with lemon. Mrs. J. P. Talbert had as guests from Greenwood last Sunday her mother, Mrs. Strom, Miss Hipp, also Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Corley. Her mother remained for a visit. Mrs. E. M. Morgan, Mrs. Janie Morgan and daughter spent a pleasant afternoon Friday with Mrs. T. D. Miner. She is looking well and in good spirits. The W. M. S. will meet in the home of Mrs. W. P. Culbreath Fri day afternoon, October 23rd, and the. H. D. Club will hold a short meeting also. Our superintendent tried to stress orphanage interest this month. He asked one from each class to have a paper or something to say the three Sundays. A grand paper was written by one of our teachers about how we should appreciate the orphanage. Last Sunday the smallest class made a little talk with the help of their teacher, Mrs. H. E. Freeland. The three chil dren, namely, Alvin Talbert, Ray Gilchrist and Thomas Culbreath, each held a card one, had the word WORK, another PRAY and the last but not least GIVE. The gifts are to be brought in Sunday. We are glad to know our faith ful H. D. Agent went back to of fice work Monday. Do not know just when she will be able to take up the club work again. We are hoping to get a good delegation to go to Mt. Carmel to the council meeting; planning to get a school bus if can. We are experiencing a cool spell that warns us that winter is just around the comer. X ing, which was enjoyed by all. Messrs. W. H. Andrews and son, Wright, attended the football game at Washington Hi Tuesday after noon. Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Morris and daughter, Miss Janie, were business visitors in Abbeville Tuesday. Mrs. Ada C. Kennedy is visiting Mrs. Onie Haggard in McCormick. The friends of Mrs. W. H. Mc Nair will be sorry to learn of the tragic death , of her nephew, Earl W. Shaw* who was struck by an automobile while he was repairing his car. Mr. Shaw served over seas three years, being a private in a machine gun company of the 39th infantry, and- received an honorable discharge with excellent character. He fought in the bat tles of Aisne-Marne, Toulon, Sec tor, St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne. WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Attendance At Baptist S. S.

Miss Cath erine remained for a longer visit. Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Ariail and son, Bobbie, of Rutherfordton, N. C., visited Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Morris Sunday. Mr. R. F. Morris returned from Atlanta Saturday, where he visited Dr. and Mrs. T. F. Abercrombie several days. Mesdames Rodgers and Hawes, Mr. Z. B. Rodgers and Miss Rodgers of Elberton, Ga., attended services at St. Stephens Church here last Sunday. The Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Pres byterian Church held a very inter esting meeting last Tuesday after noon at the church. Dr. Charles E. Sullivan closed a series of services last Friday even- Things are taking on a more serious turn this week since tests are staring us in the face. Those pupils who have been loafing are having to make up that time lost and of course those who have stud ied all the time have that worried look of anxiety. Miss Mattie Thomas and Mr. Hampton Parks were visitors to the different rooms in our school the past week. Among those attending the Erskine-Newberry game from our communities were Mr. and Mrs. John Gales, Mr. and Mrs. Hoyt Wooten, Misses Sallie Mae Parks and Mary Frances Drennan, Messrs. George Bussey, Dru Bussey, Davis Bussey, Walter Griffis, L. B. Pierce, J. H. Drennan, Ward Robertson, Carl Osborne, W. E. Kellar, Joe Price, T. W. Savage, Pat Robertson, Eubert Eckard and Warlick Kellar. Misses Margaret McKinney and Minnie Jackson spent Saturday with Mrs. W. H. McKinney. . Washington went down in defeat Saturday to the Ware Shoals team to the score 19-0. The game was much better than the score indi cates and shows, though we went down in defeat, we went down fighting. The heavier Ware Shoals line proved too much for the light Washington team. The entire team did well but Pete Lankford, Robert Buchanan and Watson Parks were the outstanding play ers of the game for Washington. Several fans from Parksville supported the team. Among these were Mr. and Mrs. Wooten, Misses Sallie Mae Parks, Lucyle Parks, Mary Francis Drennan, Josephine Parks. tXt From “The Yodler” Of Anderson College ANDERSON COLLEGE TAKES PRIDE IN HER DISTINGUISH ED LOOKING MATRON The most interesting person I have interviewed is Mrs. Jennie Cade, our new matron. She is a very capable head of this depart ment, and the girls already love her. Mrs. Cade came here to be with her daughter who is Art Teacher. Her home is in Mt. Carmel, S. C., but she likes Anderson and An derson College. We take that to mean Anderson College girls too. She belongs to the D. A. R. She is now teaching a class of girls in the First Baptist Church of this city. There isn’t a person in the col lege who enjoys her work more than Mrs. Cade. Margaret Roberts, Reporter. MISS JULIA CADE HEADS ART DEPARTMENT Miss Cade, head of the Art De partment, is a new comer to An derson College, but to hear her name spoken on the campus you wouldn’t think so. She was formerly Art Supervisor in the City Schools of Florence, and has taught in Spartanburg, Calhoun Falls and Kingsport, Tenn. Miss Cade, incidentally is a grad uate of Anderson College, and has studied at Winthrop and Asheville Normal. By her charming personality she has already carve^ a niche for her self and has received the admira tion and love of all the Anderson student body. Margaret Roberts, Reporter. 1XI The dogs of war seldom drag home anything except a deficit. IXZ A survey in southern California indicates that every tenth visitor becomes a permanent resident. The Southern Baptist Handbook for 1931, which is just off the press, shows a splendid increase in the enrollment of the Baptist Sunday schools of South Carolina during 1930. The increase which numbers 10,392 is a gain of almost eight per cent over the enrollment of these schools in 1929. This is twice as much as the average annual gain for the past ten years. This increase brings the total enroll ment up to 180,640 in the Baptist Sunday schools of South Carolina. The increase in enrollment for the eighteen states of the Southern Baptist Convention during 1930 was 62,518, bringing the total enroll ment in Southern Baptist Sunday schools to 2,839,183. In commenting on this growth, Mr. J. L. Corzine, state director of Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. for the Baptists in South Carolina, said, “This is the most substantial increase we have had for three years and the second largest in crease in ten years. We are looking for a further substantial increase for this year.” “There is another way in which this is one of our greatest years of progress; that is in standardizing our schools. We have now 67 stand ard Sunday schools in the Baptist churches of South Carolina. This is the largest number we have ever had in the entire history of the Sunday School work of our general bpard.” Mr. Corzine said also that the increase in Sunday school enroll ment in South Carolina was pro portionately greater than that of any other state in the Southern Bapist Convention. The state next to South Carolina in per cent of increase was Florida, where they had a six per cent increase com pared to South Carolina’s increase of eight per cent. By ERNEST CAMP JB GREENWOOD, S. C. THURSDAY and FRIDAY October 22nd-23rd Jack Holt and Ralph Graves in “A DANGEROUS AFFAIR” SATURDAY, October 24th Hoot Gibson in “CONCENTRATIN’ KID” MONDAY and TUESDAY October 26th-27th Joan Crawford in “THIS MODERN AGE” with Neil Hamilton WEDNESDAY, October 28th “ARIZONA” Lunch Stands— All over Manhattan luncheon places do a rushing business for three hours and then subside. Dur ing the biggest rush seats are at a premium and there are scenes of excitement only equalled during the scramble to get down to work and get home. Some of the cafeterias have re duced service to a science. At the busiest of these places there is sta tioned a man on a platform back of the counter. You call your order to him, assistants fill it and he gives you your order and punches your check in lightening like fashion. The wajN crowds melt away before his pep is a wonder. It is, perhaps, the exact antithesis of what is happening in Russia where queues of people stand in Hne for hours, waiting for food. Efficiency— One of the most noted luncheon chains sells its stuff by the nickel- in-a-slot plan and takes in hund reds of thousands of nickels. At the end of the day’s business these are actually shoveled into a trav eling tank. They are then counted by a ma chine that looks like a huge coffee mill. The coins are ladled into a hopper and a man turns a handle that grinds them out, packed into little tubes of twenty, labeled and marked with the amount. These are packed into cardboard boxes and handed over to the bank. The counting machine does work that would take ten girls a whole day to do, and with no mistakes. The machine even throws out bad and defective coins. House Hunting— New York is so vast that house hunting is a terrible task. That may be one reason why New York ers do not move often, and then only for some powerful reason. Lately one real estate organization Garden Work For October Mrs. Nell A. Stallworth, McCor mick County Home Demonstration \gent, has received from Mr. A. E. Schilletter, Extension Horticultur- alist, and Mrs. Dora D. Walker, Pro duction and Conservation Special ist, the following timely garden hints for October: It will be a crime to Jet Fall pass and not try the new Japanese Foliage turnip, sometimes called the “Shogoing.” And don’t forget to try Tendergreen or Mustard spinach. Both of these vegetables will stand lots of hot, dry weather and are very fast, vigorous growers when the season is at all favorable. They are* also very resistant to plant lice. Gather the mature lima beans every week and store them away for winter use. Very often vege table seed left over fro mthe spring planting may be used in the fall. Keep the cultivation in the gar den. When you quit, the vege tables will do the same. Are you growing your own cab bage plants for early spring set ting? Seed should be sown by the end of September or early in Oc tober in open furrow. Do not use a fertilizer having an excess of nitrogen, as the plants will be too lender. Be sure to plant a strawberry patch this fall. A small crop of berries/can be obtained next year from plants set this season. It is a good time now to work out the strawberry patch. Cultivate thoroughly and fertilize. Sweet potatoes should be dug be fore frost or continued cold weath er approaching frost. The prevalent idea that the vines should be frosted before the potatoes are dug is wrong and the practice dangerous. Make plans to select your seed at digging time. Celery should be banked for blanching, but care must be taken not to get the earth into the hearts of the plants. Lettuce sown in cold frames will give a late fall crop. In South Carolina when you say “Greens” you mean turnip tops. The domesfic science folks tell us Tribute Of Respect Caldwell Lodge, No. 82, . March 24, 1931. WHEREAS, God, the great an<£ Supreme Ruler of the heavens and earth, through His infinite wisdom has this day seen fit to remove from among us our Beloved Broth er, F. P. Rush, a devoted husband and father, a life long member and worker in Bold Springs Baptist Church; THEREFORE, be it resolved, 1st: Though we deplore our loss, yet we submit to the will of our Heav enly Father before whom all Mas ons from the youngest to the old est, fervently, reverently and de voutly bow. We believe our loss is Brother Rush’s gain. He was at leart a good Mason. RESOLVED 2nd: That, though the eyes of man will never more be laid upon him, yet we cherish his memory in our hearts and commend his soul to Gc ? who gave it. RESOLVED 3rd: That we dedicate a page in our mirute book to his memory and that thesb resolutions be published in the McCormick Messenger and a copy be sent to his family. W. A. CHEATHAM, G. C. JORDAN, ' A. G. CHEATHAM, Committee. There are 1,237 farms in what is called “greater Atlanta.” that handles some twenty-odd big apartment houses has devised a we should itse spinach for greens, scheme to aid prospective tenants. * The scheme is to center at one place in mid-town floors of com pletely furnished apartments, rep licas of those in their various buildings. In half an hour one can see exactly some ten kinds of homes, learn their price and how they are situated and the other necessary things to be known, sign a lease and go about one’s usual business. The man in charge told us the other day that he rented eight or ten places a day. It is probably the last* word in efficiency in house hunting. A Millionaire Sheriff— Nassau County, which is on Long Island, just outside of the city, if it goes Republican as it al ways has, will elect David Dows, of Muttontown, its new sheriff. Mr. Dows is a mUlionaire many times over and lives in a mansion high on a hill that overlooks most of the territory he will have to rule. Nassau has graduated a lot of millionaires into politics, Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., running for office first in that county. Robert Bac on, John W. Davis and Parker Corning are others who vote early and often—but not on the same day—in Nassau County. London Bobbies— One big apartment, modeled along English lines and with an English name, carries the idea still farther. Its doormen are garbed in English policemen’s uniforms and its other, employes dress in English soldier’s outfits. One thing required of all employ ees is that they must speak Eng lish. Some even have a Cockney accent. It is said that when Radio City is organized the owners plan to have a daily noon review of its 2,000 employees that will riv al the drill of the West Point cad ets for snappiness. Altar of 100,000 Nuptials— The “Little Church Around the Corner,” the famous actors’ relig ious home, has just been made the subject of another book. The book, - “Through the Lich-Gate,” tells how more than 100,000 wed dings have been celebrated in the edifice. More than 75,000 visitors annually wander through the fam ous Episcopal church and gaze at the mementos to Joe Jefferson and other famous men of the stage who were members. Many of them leave contributions. The nickname of , the famous because they contain more iron than any other vegetable. Spinach is an especially good addition to the diet of children. Kale is one of the hardiest crops we have for greens. Seed sown now will supply the kitchen from November until well into the spring. Have you thought /about the prizes your home garden can take at the county, or state fair? Mature green tomatoes properly stored just before the frost kills the leaves, will furnish slicing tomatoes far into the winter. Cultivate and fertilize the vines now and keep in good shape until frost. Nitrate of soda will help you. Few people realize how hardy lettuce is or that it is more tender, crisp and sweeter when grown in cool weather. Make plantings of— Onions (seed) Yellow Globe Dafi- vera, Prizetaker, White Pearl, Aus- tralian Brown. Onions (sets) Yellow Globe Dan- vera, Prizetaker, White-Pearl, Aus tralian Brown. Cabbage (seed) for frost-proof cabbage plants. Kale-Siberian Curled. Sow 1-2 inch deep; 1 oz. to 100 feet, rows; 2 1 t 2 feet, thin plants 3 to 5 inches apart in drill. Transplant lettuce to frame and garden. Big Boston, Mignonette and New York are good varieties. Radishes, Scarlet Globe or Rap id Forcing. Parsley, Moss Curled. Mustard, Giant Southern Curled. Turnip, Seven Top and Japanese Foliage (for salad.)

The minister of that church re marked: ' “There’s a little church around the corner which might hold the services.” The real name the Church of the Transfigura tion—has been almost forgotten for the much-loved appellation.
