Club was represented at the fall County Council meeting at Bethany Bap tist Church by 8 members. Whir,». Town and Rehoboth were ioini hostesses with Bethany. As one drove into the neatly swept church ground a welcome seemed t? com. out to meet the guests. At either door was a table foi registration, presided over by mem bers of Bethany, White Town and Rehoboth clubs. _ Beautiful flowert welcomed the eye, lovely pot plant: and cut flowers. Mrs. Williams, the Bethany president, met the guests with her happy smile of welcome. Devotipns led by the pastor, Dr. D. V. Cason; afternoon devotions by the Rev. Leon T. Pressly. Both were inspiring. The hearty and beautifully worded wel come address was well rendered by the president, Mrs. C. L. Williams. Response was just as beautiful by Mrs. C. H. Huguley of McCormick Club. Of course our council presi dent, Mrs. J. M. Bussey, presided over the programme in her usual ease and dignity. The secretary, Mrs. Fred Bass, was on the job as usual. She makes a good officer. An address on taxes was made by Mr. Ward; one on recreation by Mr. Vaughan; both were good and instructive. Mrs. Welbourne’s talk was so sweet and lady-like, as well as instruc tive. The reports from the dif ferent clubs were splendid and Mrs. Welbourne complimented the work. 4 She also4»d-another .task—to pre sent the gavel to the club that had done the best work in the county. She said it was difficult to decide, but after sens work found Mt. Car mel Club had done the best work with Rehoboth second. Such clap ping and congratulations for Mt. Carmel. Rehoboth even got one hand shake of congratulation for coming second. Second is not sj j bad, but after all, almost is but lost. Miss Amelia Wideman gave us two very sweet selections with Mrs. E. M. Morgan at ths piano. Miss Wideman is of the Plum Branch club, but the county’s sweet singer. A bounteous lunch of good things fairly made a brand new ,nable groan from its heavy weight. The noettsses served the lunch, but of course Bethany did most of the work. She kindly did all the prep aration of the grounds and furnish ed pretty white cloths, for the table. These kind ladies did more than their share, but it is appreciated by the other two clubs. They said they knew it was a long way off so it was only a pleasure to them. Such congenial co-operation makes friendship stronger. The shrubs on the Bethany church grounds add much to looks of the place. The weather was pleasant and company all congenial. The attendance was about 125. It was one of the best CDuncil meetings we have had. The smile on the efficient and beloved H. D. Agent’s face sanctioned/ what I have just said. It will be decided later where the next meeting will convene. Before we stop talking of the beautiful, we must not for get the beautifully decorated high ways and by-ways. Never has the golden rod and the yellow daisies been more beautiful along the roadside, and the streams outlined most beautifully with trees just taking on the lovely autumn shades; one is very blind to see no beauty along the highways now. The relatives and friends of Mrs. J. L. Meyers and Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Barham and son, Bobby, were glad to see them last week. They motored over from Florence. Mrs. Meyers is kindly remembered here by her school friends as Mattie Cartledege. She still loves her old home friends. Mrs. T. B. Culbreath is still sick, but somewhat better. Her daughter from Greenwood, Mrs. G. H. Byrd, spent last week with her, and some 7 or 8 neighbors called Sunday af ternoon. txt c ious dinner, consisting of all good STATEMENT OF CONDITION OF imngs was served picnic sty.e, and ^ p E() p LES located at McCormick, S. C., at the close of business September so. ..fter everyone had eaten all they could an abundance was still on the able. After a social hour, the meeting 1932. vras called to order again. Devo- | lonals were led in the morning by Dr. D. V. Cason and in the after- . oon by Rev. Leon T. Pressly. The ; ddresses in the afternoon were made by Mr. Vaughan and Mrs. Welbome. Mr. Vaughan stressed ecreation in the home and com munity. We are not fair to our selves when we leave it out of our lives. His talk was splendid and full of so much good advice, as was Mrs. Welbourne’s. Everybody was all attentive when time came to award the gavel, and when Mt. Car mel was the winner, we were quite happy. A very pleasant feature of the day was the sweet music. Miss Amelia Wideman sang two lovely songs, with Mrs. E. M. Morgan at the piano* It was a very happy and pleasant day and we thank each one of the hostess clubs for! „ . welcome and Kind!

Last Saturday quite a nice little crowd from Mt. # Carmel enjoyed the meeting of the Council for Farm Women of McCormick Coun ty at Bethany Church, with Beth any, White Town and Rehoboth Clubs as hostesses. It was quite a pleasure to visit Bethany Church again. A nice crowd was present and quite an in teresting program was arranged, which was heartily enjoyed by all. The reports of each club were perfectly splendid, and the work which has been accomplished shows :hat Mrs. Stallworth and her clubs have not been idle. It would have helped every man and woman in he county to have heard that pro gram, especially the wonderful messages brought to us by Mr. Ward of Aiken, Mr. Theo Vaughan of Clcmson College and Mrs. Wel- hourne. Mr. Ward’s address was on iaxa- ion. and, it was so plain and clear a child could understand it. H bowed where our tax money came from and how it was spent. 82 cents out of every dollar of taxes goes for public schools, county government and State roads, con struction and maintenance, and that leaves only 18 cents for all other purposes. Some people have an idea that to eliminate different organizations will lower taxes, and even think t r eliminate extension work would lower taxes. Mr. Ward explained fully just how much the extension v ork costs. If you pay one hund red dollars tax, you pay one 25 cents to our agents. The good the work has accom- p'.ished in McCormick County can )t be estimated in dollars and c: nts. Mrs. Williams, president of Beth any Club, in her welcgme address, a ated that this work has drawn the women of the county together md they have grown to love one another where three years ago we were strangers. their cordial hospitality, member our Bethany.
