WILKINSVILLE Wilkinsville, S. C., Oct. 28.?Espec ially in behalf of the little tots of th< first, second and third grades of tin Sunnyside school and also of the par ents and friends of these lifcile folk, do we desire to take off our hat ant thank 1'rof. L. B. Ilayne and Mis: Bonnie McCluney for what they an doing for them, by devoting part, o their time, at least, to lecturing 01 the lessons of the Sabbath s%ool a they are presented week after week ii the quarterlies. It is surprising t' see how much these little childrei gather from this talk and how intelli gent they can repeat the substance o the lessons as they appear from wee! to week. Sometimes it is a restfu exercise for children to withdrav from arduous duties of the schoo room and spend a short time in th< study of such great and absorbing matters as best fit them for this lift to say nothing of the life to come. T successfully combine pleasure am profit is the greatest discovery philos ophy has yet made or ever can make Xo one has ever yet made a decide* success in a work they did not like t do. This proposition holds good whei applied to a child as well as to man i ne nnme must no in sympathy witi the schools anil the parents with th< teacher if the child's best interest are u> be preserved. The home, th< school, the parent, and the teache form a mill in which the child is rav material is to be converted into a tin ished product?man or woman. In thi mill there must be no friction screeching or wabbling in the machin ery if the output is to attain its high est possible market value. One singh defct in it would mar the beauty am the excellence and c? nsign the whoh fabric to the junk heap. We yield t< no one in our respect for the seculai newspaper that permits its eolunm. to be used for the advancement of cd ucation in its several anil kindrei branches that so vitally effect the in terests of those whom it serves civil ly, religiously and politically and wi frankly confess that in our poor judgment no other agency is so potentia in the furtherance of these severa courses. The reason is obvious. Ii reaches the homes of all classes- 01 people in which intelligence, virtut and religion are welcome visitors an* where true Americanism is the idol <>,l every heart. It gathers together th I est thoughts of the rank and file air stands four-square to every assau't that may ho made upon it. I hous ands and tens of thousands road their county and Slate papers who neve see the inside of a Bible and who never take or read the paper of tin church to which they be'ong. 1 would not lie understood as discounting tin church papers or in any way cripplim their usefulness. Secular papers have over them in reaching the masses and cultivating the highest ideals to which humanity has ever aspired or can aspire. We know our own weakness and imperfection as well or better than any one else and are ready to admit bur serious environment. But I am in the fight to a finish on the subject of thorough education and what it leads to or makes possible to attain. I stand by those of ouv Compeers who are i: the same fight for the same cause ^ Should they, or any of them fall by I the wayside or be sent to the asylum for dementia I want them to bear in mind the couplet as my greeting: "If you get there before I do, Please tell them I'm coming too." During my recent visit to Union county I had the pleasure of meotim? my brother correspondent "Sniiko." When I last remember seeing him. i. was a mere boy. ^ I want those of my brother farmers who think they have the "live at home" problem worked out to go a see ('apt. J. Wesley Scott's farm m i New Hope church and find out how ! raise corn on upland. "Uncle Jay' Spears said long before lie died that h<> wanted to teach his son Ben that ii was possible to raise corn on upland. Ben seemed to think that unless com was plant* I on I acolet river, Uroa : or Thickety bottoms, starvation want the door, hut "Uncle .lay" thought different and expressed himself so. Jim MrKnwn was much of Ron's opinion along this line; he raised corn hy the thousands on his rich Rroad rive bottoms. !l<> said it made him fee] hunirry to fro to Gaffney and see the poor prospects alonfr the road. !I?. evt went so far as to tell those people to quit trying to farm and come down and he would let them have a!! the corn they wanted. Rut in IXs? th> tide chanfred when Rroad river commenced overflowing the land aril d stroyed the crops for two or t>o con-ecutive years and many of th river lands became practically worthless for farming1 purposes. What proved a disaster to the river lands only put the uplands to making corn in abundance and Rob Alexander told Jim one day to come up and he would let him have all the corn he wanted. Since then the ?*idge lands have been owning the best farming lands in Cherokee county south of the Southern railway. As a matter of interest to his many friends and relatives in Union county I take pleasure in saying that our sheriff, W. Wilkes Thomas, who is a Union county hoy, has been reelect* for his fifth term in that office over two formidable opponents hy the largest majority he has ever had. Fie i b s<m of f.ieut. P. A.

LOCKHART JUNCTION Lock hart Junction, Nov. 2.?Sunday was a beautiful day and a great many ? attended church at New Hope and lis tened to a very forcible sermon by the preacher in charge, Rev. J. A. Cook. 1 We are in hopes we will get him again s next year. The conference year is [ about to close and we are in hopes f that every one will come up and pay i their assessments for that has a great s deal to do sometimes in getting a ii preacher returned. We have had the first killing frost i of the season and it has killed all veg etation in these parts. Potato digging f has taken place and it seems the crop < is a very good one, for one fellow said 1 he was going to send some to Europe, c This is a joke you see, but is it not 1 nice to have and make, plentv and e some to spare. We live in a country ; where we can make everything we want to eat. even to rice. So begin 0 sowing and fixing for next year some1 thing that can be eaten and do not - think so much about the cotton. If . cotton wiis even to go to 14 or 1~> 1 | cents, don't change your notion, u Farmers are all glad to know that i cotton has advanced some in price. i. Mrs. W. C. Edmonds and children i and Mr. Jo Edmonds attended the fair e in Columbia last week, s Mr. B. M. Becknell of the New e j Hope section had a Hallow'en part' i at his home last Saturday night and c > the young folk all report a fine tlui - { 1 was invited to the home of Mr. .J. I.

He - J ir- postmaster and also keeps a first p class boarding house where you can I be served everything (rood to eat. It * | would take too much space to tell you i j all the fun and amusement, but 1 must r tell you about the ghost and the fortune teller. I have been to Lockhart - lots of times but never before were 1 there so many girls down there. I - sure met them at Mr. Hames' Hallo w'en party. I felt very much like a ? boy of 21, and I was treated so kind - by all the girls. I thought I was the ' equal of the boy of 21 on that ot I casion. Mr. Alvin McKinney, the son of Mr. .1. L. McKinney, has joined the U. S | army and is now on his way. ! ! Mr. Edgar Kelly of this section has I gone to Virginia to work with the Western Union Telegraph company. I ! wish for these boys much success. The low price of cotton may cause others to go or leave the farm. This i-hould not be, but it seems it cannot be helped. Every one has to take care , cure of himself. Mr. J. C. Jones of York county II spent the week-end with friends in ' this section. 1 think Mr. Jones will 1 be coming back again. 1 believe lie has founu some attraction.^ Ij Misses Bert Porter and Ethel Horn of Jonesville visited Misses Eva ami Beulah Gregory on Sunday and at! tended Sunday school. Miss Lela Gaidt of Union visited her brother, Mr. B. F. Gault, Sunday, j While in Cherokee last week J stopped at the home of Mr. R. J.

He says he reads The Times and likes to hoar of the things that are happening in our county. "Moxy." SANTUC NEWS Santuc, Oct. .'11.?Frost with one swoop killed all crops. The temporai ture was 28 degrees. The first killine frost in 1010 was October 22 with :'.l degrees; some slight frosts occurred before that date in 1913 but none this year.

A large delegation from hero attended the circus in Union last week ?I believe all colored folk, and it i my candid opinion they could ill afford it. This I know because there ! was a great scramble to get some ' ?eed money from the bale of cotton j seed, some trying to borrow on the I promise of quitting theiv*o\vn work tr | work for you to pay back etc., and by 1 Saturday night some were trying to ' plan to get a little of meat, or trying j to borrow a dime to get a package of , smoking tobacco. The money gone and day's work lost. The field pea crop owing to unfavorable weather conditions is not good in this section; but where planted in drills, other than in corn fields, they are very good. From the looks of i many fields, seed will be scarce and if Southern farmers have to buy seed or do without, either will be bad on them. They need more peas anyway. Sunday at the Methodist church. Prof. I.awton, the pastor, said that 1 considering the blessings that had been handed down to everybody, and inai anynooy wno could not; give ' twenty-five cents or one dollar in a year, needs regeneration. Doesn't it look so? This was said before the sermon. Later preaching from th<text, Hcb. 12; 1-2. He told of money, i. e., the pockethook, the love of power, of prominence, popularity, society, dress, etc., and that some would be trying to "cuss out" Rockefeller, Car negie and others when some were be, ing weighted down with a dollar atu a half, as much as Rockefeller was with his fifty or a hundred millions. . And he said that now when people are i settling up their debts, it is as much of an obligation to pay the Lord's r debt?support of the cause, as a bank i debt, and when you divide uo between Dall, don't forget or neglect the Lord's. J This 1 thought. How about the men higher up. The bank or men that mat is owing? Will he let you divide, i: you have not plenty? Will a bank o supply men or money lender, if the} have a grip on you, allow you to di vide. The Lord will forgive, but wil man? The Lord may give you anothe chance, but will man? The Ix>rd per mitted the unfavorable year this time of crops, of war, of various things be yond our power, it may be for tne in dividual sin, the world's sin, for m; sin, so far as I am affected and ma look at it so, but will man ? The Lon will not squeeze for gain, except : holy gain, but will not man? This i a time to test out men. Many mei cannot help out these conditionscannot hell) the conditions. Thnmrl you may sing the song to "boost boost," and never say hard times, bu many a grin will be a mighty dry especially when you go to your cred itors, the bank, or men, for a litth time and he say, "No sir, you had bet ter get the money." One man has al ready said that is what he was told t< do. Won't there be others? Iley Denver.

Their stipulation that the purchase should he made direct from the planter led to some interesting developments, which are described in letters from the merchants authorizd to conduct the transaction. A typical case is described by Fielder & Brown, wholesale grocers of Spartanburg, S. C., in a letter in which Mr. J. F.
