Mr. Enoch Smith, com mander of Palmetto Camp of the Sons of Veterans having kindly of fered his services, he has been au thorized to have charge of all ar rangements for the reunion, and has named September 3, 4 and 5 as the date, and issued the following announcement: "Enoch Smith, general chairman •f the Confederate Veterans’ re union committee, announces the date of the state reunion for Con federate Veterans to be held in Co lumbia September 3, 4, 5, on the campus of the University grounds. “All Confederate veterans, wives and widows of the Confederacy are urged to come to Columbia on the afternoon of the first day, Septem ber 3rd.

Dunn, Amos Pleads for Justice Lesson for August 12th. Amos 5 and 7. Golden Text: Romans 13:10. In 760 B. C., with Jeroboam the Seeond as king in the north, there was tumultuous revelry in Bethel where Israel now gathered for ex worship. Never had she been eager to oelebrate, for Syria, her worst enemy, had been badly defeated, and the good old times of David were restored. But in the midst of the jubilation a rude, fiery figure appeared^ He was Amos, the herdsman of Tekoa, a small town in the south near Bethlehem. In melancholy tones In exposed the sin of God’s peo- and predicted their overthrow " punishment. Naturally the people were as- “How can we, an invinci- nation, suffer defeat?” they And especially angered were when this unwelcome visitor shouted that God Himself would bring them into reproach. What blasphemy! No wonder Amaziah the priest told Amos to return to Judah and prophesy there. And our herdsman was forced to obey. Now there are three major em phases in Amos’ teaching. ‘ First of all he proclaimed an impartial, in ternational God. The Lord, he in sisted, will punish the sinners in Judah and Israel just as relentless ly as those in Damascus and Moab. Secondly, he sensed the peril of an external emphasis. “I hate, I despise your feast days” was the message the Eternal placed in his mouth. But most important of all, Amos was an u^vompromising champion of justice. “Let justice roll down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.” How modem! We desperately need peace today. But more fundamental is the need of a square deal for the disinherit ed masses. We need also charity, for millions depend upon philan thropy. But most of all we need fair play, so that the wealth of all may be at the disposal of all. . .. , . rad* The Hoiy Bible,” 1 and whkii contains Four GseatTreawes •••••• *BA+l I UR FJ ’77" (• vc-'* k 1>!

Tru ^in"'J ieo<l »*, T O the savings effected by Chevrolet’s great economy, rugged construction and outstanding dependability has recently been added a saving of as much as $50 in the purchase price. You can now obtain a big, fast Chevrolet truck for every purpose at prices among the lowest for which Chevrolet trucks have ever been sold. And these low prices bring you the same features that have made Chevrolet trucks so popular in every hauling field—the valve- in-head, six-cylinder engine—the sturdy bodies—the exceptionally heavy frame, axle, and transmission. Your Chevrolet dealer will gladly show you how Chevrolet trucks can help to reduce your hauting costs, and how easy they are to buy at these new low prices combined with convenient G.M.A.C. terms.
