Rehoboth News
The W. M. S. held its monthly
meeting Friday afternoon in the
home of Mrs. H. E. Freeland. It
is her custom to entertain the Sep
tember meeting each year. The
meeting at her home is always
looked forward to. Mrs. Freeland
has always been a power for good
in the community and is tenderly
loved by all the younger people
whom she has taught in day and
Sunday School. Three visitors
were very welcome, Mrs. Fannie
Mae Parks, Miss Eula Hendrix and
Mrs. Carrie Talbert. The visitors
contributed liberally. Mrs. Tal
bert conducted the devotions, and
in her sweet way, gave us a nice
little talk. The programme was
most interesting, “Tithes.” After
the meeting delicious refreshments
were served by Mrs. Freeland, Mrs.
Parks and Miss Hendrix.
The Home Demonstration Club
met last week in the home of Mrs
Sallie Gilchrist. Reorganization
claimed most of the time. When
the nominating committee return
ed, several smiled, that they had
just traded places, making Mrs.
Sallie Gilchrist president and Mrs.
Strom Culbreath secretary. Miss
Harvey has passed to the Club
Women a new enthusiasm for the
coming year. Of course every one
is interested in “FOODS,” the year’s
project. Mrs. Gilchrist served de
licious pear salad and tea. The
pears were grown in her orchard.
Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Morgan and
Raymond, Misses Bernice and Sara
White spent a most pleasant day
near Johnston Sunday in the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Cole Berry.
Anyone who has never read the
history of the W. M. S. written by
our beloved Mrs. J. L. Mims about
20 years ago has missed a treat. I
have recently had the pleasure of
reading it. How I wish she could
take it up where she left off and
write up the present time.
Mrs. E. M. Morgan and Miss A.
L. Morgan are calling in Plum
Branch this afternoon.

The Lions club of McCormick, at
its regular meeting on September
24th, unanimously passed resolu
tions endorsing the building of the
proposed dam across the Savannah
river at Clarks Hill. The resolu
tions are as follows:
>
“Whereas, There is now before
the President of the United States
a proposal for the Federal govern
ment to construct a dam and res
ervoir area on the Savannah river
at Clarks Hill, South Carolina, and
“Whereas, We, the Lions club of
McCormick, are deeply interested
and impressed with the benefits
which will be derived by such de
velopment in this community, viz.,
the providing of work for a large
number of people who are now
without work in the clearing of
land for the reservoirs and the
various construction work; also the
great benefit that our people will
realize in the abundance of cheap
electrical current which will be
made available to this community
as a result of this development, and
in view of the benefits which will
accrue to our community in general
from navigation in % the Savannah
river, and for the increase which
we feel will result in taxable values
in property development within the
confines of McCormick county.
“Therefore be it resolved, that
we, the Lions club of McCormick,
express to the President of the
United States pur deep apprecia
tion of the interest he has shown,
in this great undertaking and
“Be it further resolved, that we,
the Lions club of McCormick, ur
gently call upon our two senators,
the Honorable E. D. Smith, and the
Honorable James F. Byrnes, and
our congressman, the Honorable
John C. Taylor, to confer with the
two Georgia senators, the Honor
able Walter F. George and the
Honorable Richard B. Russell, Jr^
and congressman, the Honorable
Paul Brown, and aid in every way
possible toward the success of this
great undertaking, and
“Be it further resolved, that a
copy of these resolutions be sent to
President Roosevelt and each of the
Congressional representatives above
mentioned.
