Every hour is worth something now. "There is work for me and there is work for you. Yes! there is work for each of us to do." Children's Day services were had at the Methodist church Sunday evenMis' at 7:30 o'clock. The committee of ladies who had charge of the decorations prepared the altar and choir ;loft in beautiful style and the chil ciren were wen trained in tne program, iwhieh they rendered well. The time I was when we had no organized Chilidrqn's Hay service and when it was jfirst organized it was quite different !in the performance to what it is now jand of course the difference is an improvement in some respects as I see lit and no improvement in other respects. This, of course, is a matter of opinion and we all have a right to lour opinions he they what they may. Mesdames Addie B. Hames, Bernard Lybrand and L. J. Fowler have returned from their Birmingham trip. They took in the reunion, visited relatives in the city and then went on to Childersburg and visited other relatives and friends and had a nice time.

Chambers has returned from his visit to Atlanta. Mrs. Dr .Hamilton of Converse is visiting her sister, Mrs. R. B. Smith. T am often asked how long do I think the European war will last. 1 don't know, because I got badly fooled about the war on this side of the waters, so I scarcely ever advance an idea, but if the Confederates could hold out long years against the Cnited States I see no reason why the Germans and allies could not hold out in war as long and as tnc war has just been on two years 1 look for at least two years more.

The commencement exercises of the Pacolet Mills school were concluded 1 Wednesday night with the address be- 1 fore the graduating class by Prof. Frank Evans, superintendent of the Spartanburg city schools. One of the largest and best classes ! ^ i L ? Ll-i - f > ? 111 Lue History 01 trie scnool was , graduated and officials and patrons report one of the most successful years in its history. One of the best things recently accomplished by the people of this enterprising community was the circulation of a petition for the 1 voters to call an election to vote on the question of whether the district J should have compulsory education. The law provides that if 25 per cent J of the people sign the petition an election will he called, but the Pacolet ' people secured a majority, which, ac- < cording to the law, will give them compulsory attendance without calling an election. It is reported that only j four refused to sign the petition who were approached on the matter.? Spartanburg Herald. KELTON i Kelton, June (5.? It has been rain- 1 ing today and looks like we will have 1 more today. Today is the anniversary ' of the great flood on the Pacolet rive- 1 when so many mills were washed ! away and so much property was lost ! and many lives were lost. I got up ' this morning between 2 and J o'clock. It was lightning and thundering con- 1 tinuously up the Pacolet river and I wondered if it was going to be a ' repetition of that tremendous rain ! that fell a few vears atro. The farmers are very busy now. 1 (Jen. Green is here in full force and ' should we have a few days of rainy j weather they will he swamped in the grass, as a lot of the cotton has just come up. Mr. and Mrs. Claude Cromer have 1 a baby desperately sick and is not expected to recover. < Mr. Marvin Alvin and Miss Melly ' Gault of Kelton were married last Sunday evening.

Chester, June 0.?Certain section! of the Feasterville community, ii Chester county, were visited by a ter rifie wind, rain and hail storm Sat n relay afternoon. For a time it looke< like it had developed into cyclonii proportions. Trees, hoth large am -mall, were twisted from their root) and hurled through space. A larg< negro church, known as New Hope was blown off its pillars. The heave metal roof of John S. Stone's big ban was ripped off and blown a distance af f)0 feet. The hail was about th< size of a partridge egg. A unique feature of the storm wai the lifting of the porch of James Stev enson's high in the air, which thei struck the chimney of his house knocking part of it down. Itespite the fact that many tree; and loose timber were flying in the ai no one was hurt. Those having their crops badl; lamaged were John S.

M. C. Butler came to Washington as senator is carried in The Poa~ f and is decidedly interesting: p i "When the late Gen. M. C. Butler of South Carolina came to Washington as United States senator in the '70s the passions born of the Civil war were still considerably in evi. dence around the national capital," skid J. B. Ezell of South Carolina. "The men higher up, men of Gen. Butler's calibre, had, indeed, made up their minds to let bygones be bygones, but among the rank and file, both b North and South, considerable c amount of rancor and prejudice still t lingered. As a reward for faithful - personal service the senator brought t along with him from his home county ? a most bitter partisan arid unrecons structed rebel by the name of Sam Fields. Through the senator's influence a place was secured for his .trusty lieutenant among the employes of the senate. A few days rolled by and the protege sought out the senaf (tor and the following dialogue ensued : " 'Gen. Butler, I am greatly obliged to you for bringing me up here to 5 Washington and giving me a governi ment position, but I reckon as how - I'll bid you good-bye and go back to - old Edgefield county." 1 "'Why, what's the matter, Sam?' c replied the genetal. 'Is your work I too hard?' s " 'No, sir; that ain't it. I wouldn't 8 mind it if it was twice as hard. As L o molln. - t f * ? 1 -1 1 " , c. w.uvtvi 1/1 uai, Kcnciili, HUOUl Oil f I have to do is to raise the flag every i morning over the senate building, and 8 to tell you the truth, sir, 1 am sick s and tired of hoisting that doggone Yankee flag every morning of my 8 life.' " 'Well, Sam,' quoth the senator, i 'supposing you do raise a Yankee flag ? every morning, don't you haul it down every night? It looks to me as though 8 that ought to even up for your mornr ing performance.' . 'Sam swore by the bones of An/ drew Jackson that he had not thought 5 of it in that light before. The matter 1 when thus presented bore an entirely e new aspect, and history records that " he nevermore quarreled with his job."
