A RALLY FOR CHARITY "Lore Thy Neighbor as ThyselF' and "Help the Helpless is Charity." If you have it in your heart a substantial evidence of it is now offered for you to show it. On October 26th next Saturday) at 4 o'clock p. m., at Ottaray Mills in front of Jake Going's store will be held a rally for the benefit of John Driggers and his wife and child. Who is John Driggers He is a young white, married man with a wife and little helpless child. One year ago John Driggers was in the strength and vigor of young manhood, a hard workig mechanic. He fell from a scaffold in building a dwelling house and so injured his backbone that he has been paralyzed and helpless since November 1, 1911, one year ago. He has been in bed almost continuously since and is totally disabled and helpless in so far as earning a living is concerned, and is a constant care to his wife, who has no way of earning a living with he and the baby to care for on her hands. The rally is called for the purpose of collecting through the good people enough of money and provisions to last this little white famliy in their distress for one year. Have you the feelings and willingness to help this worthy family? We invite you to come and to bring something with you?money, provisions, clothing, wood, coal and promises that can and will be paid. You will be entertained for three or four hours by the Union Silver Cornet Band and public speakers whs have consented to grace the occasion with their presence and eloquence. If you have nothing more to give, pive one day's labor?it might be bread cast upon the waters for you. Respectfully, Joseph Sanders, A. L. Stutts, Macbeth Young. Committee in Charge. ALLEGED WHITE SLAVERS BOUND OVER TO COURT. Columbia, Oct. 21.?Melt Kneece and his wife, Lillie, of Steadman, S. C., who were arrested last Monday on the charge of violation of the ...kU. ~i i ?* - niiivc Binve iuws, were (?lven a preliminary hearing before United States Commissioner Beverly Sloan and were bound over to the United States court for trial. Bond was set for each at $1,000, and they were released f^r their appearance at the terra 6t United 8tates court in December. Two witnesses were put up by the prosecution, the Augusta, Ga., girl, whom it is charged the Kneeces tried to lead into an immoral life, and Detective J. E. Ford, of the local police force, who saw Mrs. Kneece enter a resort here with the girl and reported it, which led to a raid upon the place. Girl on Stand. The Augusta girl was placed on the witness stand and told her story in a straightforward manner. She made an excellent witness. She testified that she went to Steadman to a barbecue on the 4th of July and then afterwards visited the Kneeces. She said the Kneeces paid her railroad face back to Augusta to secure her trunk and then back to Steadman and afterwards to Columbia. She testified that at Batesburg she was carried on an automobile ride with Mrs. Kneece and two men. On cross-examination she testified that she was approached at a hotel in Batesburg where she was staying with Mrs. Kneece. She then told of being brought to Columbia by Mr. and Mrs. Kneece and carried to a resort on College street. According to the girl, Mr .Kneece did not go to the resort, but another man. She wneii Loiu 01 now tne ponce raided the place and later sent her to her home in Augusta. Detective J. E. Ford testified that he saw the Kneece woman enter the resort on the 900 block of College street, accompanied by the girl. Thinking that the girl was very young to be in such a locality he reported the matter to police headquarters and the house was ra:ded. Argument was then made by the attorney for the Kneeces. James H. Hammond, the local white slave officer; who prosecuted the case, made no argument. Commissioner Sloan then stated that there was enough evidence to warrant sending the case to the United States court for trial. An important point in the prosecution's favor was that the testimony ended to show that the Kneeces paid the girl's railroad fare from Steadman to Augusta and return and then to Columbia. This is the first case of violation of the white slave laws which has been brought in this state. Notice to Debtors and Creditors. All persons indebted to the estate of B. P.

It speaks from the ;art to the heart. It is founded on le incident that each fisherman of rittany, before launching out upon le deep, utters the short but impresve prayer, "Keep me, my God, for y boat is too small and Thv n^nn > wide." eep me, my God, As I launch out my boat, n the wide sea of life; Only thus can I float. he temptations and perils That tnrong round me here, take me long for Thy presence, And Thy sweet words of cheer. 3 keep me, #ny God, Let me not go astray, eep close by my side, To point ont the way. eep me, my Father, Oh, be Thou my guide, My boat is so small, And Thy ocean so wide." fhen I'm tossed to and fro, By sorrow and grief, will still look to Thee, To send me relief. hould no storm ever beat, Round my frail little raft, ven then I will want Thee, To pilot my craft. o keep me, my Father, Till the journey is o'er, nd I land safe at last, On eternity's shore.
