The president and agent both made appeals for large attendance. We were also honored with several visitors, Misses Virginia Strom, Lois Arrington, Rebecca Stallworth and her friend, Miss Grace Craig. Miss Stallworth favored us with a sweet song message. She is very unselfish with her talent. The meeting was presided over by the president who read some scripture verses and led in prayer. The secretary, Miss Marie Gilchrist, was absent, so there were no min utes. There was very little business. The club re-organized. The presi dent declined re-nomination. Mrs. B. S. Cjulbreath was elected unan imously. The same secretary was re-elected. We were also honored with several home visitors, Miss Truler Winn and mother, and Mrs. Susie Winn. Everyone was pleased with the club year book, they were filled out for the year. We were all delighted to see Mrs. W. A. Winn able to attend church Sunday p. m. Although still very weak, she is steadily improving. Mrs. Doolittle was able to attend church Sunday p. m. Miss Annie Wells is staying with Mrs. Doolittle now. Mr. and Mrs. Ousley were week end guests in this section. The W. M. S. will meet at the home of Mrs. W. A. Winn next Sun day p. m. For various reasons it does not suit many of the members to meet during the week. Our faith ful president, Mrs. E. M. Winn, has resigned. Being away from home so much she feels best to elect a new president. She has made a good leader. Mr. Richard Gillam is able to ride out some and expects to go to his home in Aiken for a visit soon. Pastor Gurley preached a splen did sermon Sunday p. m. His text was “Lot’s Unwise Choice”. The pastor appointed a commit tee of five to nominate officers and teachers for the Sunday School for 1934. Several from here attended the Piedmont Divisional meeting at Ab- beville Saturday. Miss Lena Louise Gilchrist cele brated her birthday with a party recently. Several from here attend ed and enjoyed the evening. Mr. John R. Griffis, Mr. Watson, Mr. Jim Griffis and Mr. Timmer man ihadp a short stop in this sec tion last week. The dust is very deep in this sec tion. Cotton picking will soon be over. It is said the crop is short. Seme good corn has been gathered. Some oats are being sow r n. The cool mornings remind us Autumn is here, but mid-day tells us it is mid summer. The hum of the school bus, and the racing of childish feet to meet the bus tell us school time is here. The work seems to be moving on nicely at Plum Branch. Mrs. E. M. Morgan has again taken up her work as music teacher. So many new pupils have enrolled that it will necessitate her going to school nearly every day. Mrs. Tiny Jordan’s children cele brated her 77th birthday last Sun- Death Of Mr. W. C.

A cordial invitation is extended to all 1x1 Methodist Meeting Starts October 8th D. V. Cason, pastor of the local Baptist Church. “It isn’t common sense to believe> that there is as much whiskey sold today as' was during the saloox. days,” declared Dr. Burts, “and the more inconvenient you make whis key to get, the less we will drink.* Flaying the statements of the wets that repeal will bring abouV reduced taxation, he said that th* big capitalists and manufacturers want to get their burden of taxation, shifted from their shoulders to the little man and this is why they are- for repeal. In regard to President Roose velt’s stand for repeal, Dr. Burts, said, “I am for the president ju&V as far as I can go, but I can’t g» with him in the repeal of the 11814 amendment.” Instead of repealing the 18th amendment, he called on the peo ple to obey and enforce the law. H* declared that it was a citizen’s du ty to obey the laws of his land. Attacking the*ic^ea that repeaL will bring about prosperity, Dr_ Burts asked, “Did you ever hear of a person drinking himself int* prosperity? But many have, drunY themselves into poverty. Score* have lost their jobs and homes through drink. One condition of economic prosperity is the pur chasing power of the individual. Liquor destroys the purchasing’ power. Money spent for whiskey goes out of the legitimate trad* channels into the coffers of the distillers while the merchant’* goods remain on his shelves. “We need the prayers of the peo ple to help us carry on this cam paign. We are going to save that situation by prayer. It would be at great credit to the people of tba* State, if South Carolina votes dry on November 7.” A voluntary collection was takes, up at the close of the meeting te help defray the expenses of t#e campaign.
