Poreher, native of Willington and for a number of years pastor of St. Stephens Episcopal Church there, will read with interest the follow ing from the Marlboro County Herald: Union services were held Sunday night at the Presbyterian church, this service being in the nature of a farewell service for the Rev. O. T. Poreher who resigned sometime oast as pastor of St. Paul Episco pal church, this resignation be- # coming effective yesterday. This . rhe Railroads was also the time of the regular fifth Sunday night union service. * Mr. Poreher delivered a master- The plan put forward by John ful sermon and at the close of this A.

Each was most commendable to The idea, briefly, is to charge a Mr. Poreher and expressed regret flat rate for a passenger fare over that he was retiring from the a distance of, say, a thousand active ministry. Those who ex- miles, twice as much for 2,000 tolled Mr. Poreher were the Rev. miles, etc. Mr. Hastings’ idea is that it would pay the railroads to carry full loads of passengers be tween New York and Chicago, or Chicago and Denver, or Denver and San Francisco, for a dollar a 1 head. The same rate would apply to passengers who got on and off anywhere along the line. If it pays to carry a letter any where for three cents, whether to the next town or the other end of the continent, why can’t the same idea work with passengers? They are easier to handle than letters, because they load and unload themselves and don’t have to be stamped and postmarked. The railroads have already dis covered that reduced passenger fares increase revenues. They made more money while the two- cents-a-mile rate was in effect than they have made since it was raised to 2 1-2 cents. They have learned that the cost of hauling a passenger does not depend di rectly on the number of miles traveled. If the train is going through, it can carry excess pas sengers without any appreciable extra cost. Without going into figures, it seems to us there is something in the Hastings idea. It would at least enable men looking for a job or going to a new one to travel farther and cheaper. -xx- 10 Heavy Bales Of Cotton On 12 Acres Last year a farmer died just be fore his two-horse crop of cotton was to be planted. His widow went for advice to neighboring farmers who were outstanding cotton growers. She followed their advice in everything except In poisoning her cotton against the boll weevil. Her neighbors told her that if the year were dry she would not need to poison her cotton and if the year were wet, the rain would wash eff the poison and the boll weevil would get her cotton any way. She insured her home even though she didn’t expect that it would burn that night and she decided to poison her cotton for the same reason. She produced ten heavy bales of cotton on twelve acres while her neighbors made aoout one-third bale per acre. Insure against the boll weevil by three applications of the mo- J. S. Garner, Dr. E. E. Colvin, the Fev. J. E. Clark and the Rev. J. W. Moore. Mr. Poreher has served as pas tor of St. Paul Episcopal church for the past twenty years, coming here from Darlington. During the years he has been here he has never failed to give a helping hand to any person or anything that needed his support, although always exemplifying his Master with his every act and deed. Al though retiring from the active ministry, he expects to reside in Bennettsville. X Civil Service Examinations Announced The Rev. R. E.
