Miss Violet Moorhelad's school

she will go back to Adamsburg

could not place another in her stead
that -would do more faithful work than
he did.
Mr*. Fannie Baldwin and Mrs. Edge
went to Lockh&rt on Thursday, and
returned Saturday.
Mr. R. C. Shande went to Union Friday
on buelne88.

There have been some reumrks
made about the Sunday visiting of
thia cnmmnnltv. hut if all were as
wide-awake as the writer, they would
understand why this is, as the Home
Department workers have very little
spare time except Sunday afternoon
after Sunday School. The Sunday
School lesson of the 14th taught us
that w should keep the Sabbath day in
a true spiritual way, and what would
you call the Home Department work
but spiritual work.

Jonesvllle News Letter. ^
Jonesville, April 16.?A good shower f
of rain is very much needed as the
ground is baked and in bad plow order.
Some corn has been planted and cotton
ground prepared. If a few ahowers
would come along at intervals so
that the ground could be plowed farmers
would soon be well up with their '
work.
The election for town officers came (
ofT here last week and there was much
interest taken, although there was no
special issue i nthe campaign. John
T. Scott, the former mayor, was elected
over his opponent, J. W. Bates, and
Dr. P. M. Ellerbe, John M. Gault, R. J
J. Klrby and W. W. Wood were elected
aldermen. Some, at least, of the
defeated party is charging fraud in '
uiu eiBcuon ana are claiming mat ]
outsiders, minors and some not prop- ]
erly registered, voted and there is talk 1
of protesting the election. We cer- *
talnly ought to have a clean, pure bal- j
lot box and if fraud is practiced, It ,
should be rebuked in all elections, be- 1
cause a free press and an honest ballot
box and a clean jury are necessary j
to good government.
Petitions are being circulated In
this town for signers to secure an 1
election on the establishing of a dls- .
pensary In the county. No doubt the
necessary number of signatures will
be obtained to get an election on the
liquor issue but the question is,' will
the people vote a return to the dispensary.
or will they, as they have
done before, snow it under? We will
see what we will see.
Yesterday in some respects didn't '
look much like the holy Sabbath, as
no less than fourteen trains over the \
Railway went puffing through our i
town, to ray nothing about the automobiles,
bycycles and motor cycles
that were puffing and blowing and In
the country the creeks were lined In
places with fishermen and boys.
I attended the unveiling of the
Women's Monument In Columbia last
week and It was a great day for South
Carolina. The crowd was Immense
and all passed off lovely. I dislike to
criticise the monument but I will ray
that to my mind It is too low. The
bronze statute Is all right but the
base is not high enough to give the
monument the commanding appearance
that It deserves. Three or four
feet more upon the base would have I
added much to the looks of the monument.
The Battery store here, W. P. Braw- ,
ley, manager, has moved to Newberry.
There was a cotton fire here last
week and 85 bales were burned. It
was cotton on the railway platform
wWeh caught from a passing engine. ,
There was about 200 bales upon the j
platform and 35 bales were entirely ]
consumed by the flames. The railway I
had receipted for the cotton. Mrs.
W. B. May of Carlisle Is visit- ,
Ing Mrs. Qeorge C. Wood.
Mrs. Hattle McWhlrter, Mrs. N. B. 1
Bison, Mrs. W. H. 8. Harris and Mrs. j
John T. Scott, from the John Hames
chanter U. D. C., attended the ua- i
veiling of the Women's monument in 1
Columbia last week.
Miss Hannah Barton who is teach* i
ing in the graded school here, went i
to her home near Rowsville last week,
her father being very ill and died after
she reached her home. She has
returned to her work in the school
room again.
Moxey, from Lockhart Junction in <
hie communication to the Times last
week, spoke of two chapters in the
Bible being Just the same. Now if
Moxey will look in the New Testament
he will And two more chapters nearly
the same. They are the 24th chapter
of Mathew and the 18th chapter of
Mark.
I would like to ask some Bible
readers Just how Ion* Noah was
building the Ark and Just where In
