When Teddy's mother saw ilie enormous size of the turkey she said: "It Is Impossible. Teddy could never have paid the price of that turkey."

Whitwell, a lccal tobacco dealer, against the Continental Tobacco Company, known as the tobacco trust, in which judgment is rendered in favor of the Continental Company. The opinion affirms the judgment of the United States District Court, which held that the refusal of the tobacco trust to sell its manufactured product to who it will, did not constitute a legal injury, was not an act in restraint of inter-State commerce, and does not violate the national anti-trust law.

Winnsboro, Special.?Tha centenlial exercises of tha A. R. P. synod were held Saturday. All business matters and committee reports were sidefr\r> iVijuva ovnrp!ooa T'h* OYPT rises were as a birthday celebration, ind everything was in commemoration )f the organization of the synod in the Did Brick chvtrch 100 years ago. It is i great historical occasion, and the programme that has been arranged is iust such a one as ks fitting for such in occasion. The exercises Saturday morning were presided over by Rev. (V. M. Hunter. Before introducing the # j regular speakers for this occasion he made a short address in which he paid i glowing tribute to the wives of the ministers who have served the A. R. P. rhuach in its 100 years' history. The mccess of the synod is duo to the minsters wives no less than to the ministers themselves. As great as may be .he sacrifices of the minister who goes jut to serve his Master in new fields, | the sacrifices of the wife who goes with jiim are certainly no less. It is she whe Uttends to the endless details of the auiuc, wiinc lie xa <iuu.it uid pooiuiai luties and feeding upon the fat of the j!nnd. She is the wonderful manager I *ho makes ends meet on a small salI iry. She is the diplomat who stands between her husband and his flock in nany of the details of church work. \s. the weaker vessel, she bears the ' ieavier burden. She is the uncrowned jueen. There is need for a centennial roiume recounting, not only the deeds >f the ministers but also of one that | recounts the sacrifices and the services i >f the noble Christian women who kave contributed so largely to the success of the church. The next address on the programme jras that of Rev. J. C. Galloyrajr, who ipoke of the organization of the "Sender" church. He told of its first organization in Scotland, and secession horn the established ehurch of Scotand. This secession was because of' loctrinal differences. From the Seceder ihurch of Scotland was formed the As?ociate Reformed church in Ameriea, Irst embracing both north and south. What was known as the Carolina synods of this church finally separated 'rom the church in the north and form!d the A. R. P. church of the south, tfhich held its first synod at the Brick lihurch in this county. This organlza| Lion has grown to its present proportions and has churches from Virginia i to Texas and missions in Mexico, j Rev. T. G. Boyce, D.

The afternoon services of the cen- j iennial celebration consisted of of ad- j iresses by Maj. J. C. Hemphill, editor * >f The News and Courier, on "ScotchIrish Presbyterians in History," and Rev. E. B. Kennedy of Bartow. Fla., jn "Associate Reformed Presbyterian:sm and Education." Maj. Hemphill made a particularly ? |tble and interesting address. He said that Scotch-Irish Presbyterianism made up a large part of history, espejJally of the history of the English ipeaking people. It baa much to do with the American Revolution and with all movements for civil and religious freedom. Quoting the opinion ii others and adopting them as hia own he said Presbyterianism was a tystem of pure representative government. The Scotch-Irish were the first to cry out against taxation without representation. Such was the heritage of Associate Reformed Presbyterians of the south, and a study of their history would inspire his hearers to walk In the ways of their fathers and they wonld not be ashamed. * The exercises of the evening eoplisted of devotional exercises and addresses by Rev. W. S. Handon and' Rev. J. S. Maffatt, D. D. ' Deserters Arrested. Roanoke. Va..

D. Kenner, the foreman at the Palmetto Roller Mills in Spartanburg had a serious fall Saturday morning and it seems a miracle that he was not killed.
