Easter falls on the first of April this
yeaS. The earliest possible day for Easter
is on the. 22d of March, and it fell on that
date in 1918, for the last time in two hun
dred years. One object in arranging the
calendar moon was that Easter might
never fall on the same day as the Jewish
Passover. They did occur together, how
ever, in 1905, on the 4th of April; in 1925,
on the Sd of that month, and will do so
again in 1923 on the lst of April, in 1927
on the 18th, and in 1881 on the 18th of the
same month. On last year Easter and the
Passover were separated by but single
night. The Jewish festival occurs In
Passover week in Lent, and never before
the 10Th of March or after the 25th of
April. On the other hand, the Christian
festival is never before the 22d of March
or after the 25th April.
LastTuesday night our city and vicinity
was visited by severe storm. It began
about 2 o'clock and continued for some
time. The chapel of the Military Insti-
tute was unroofed by the wind, and con-
siderable damage was done to fences in the
1 city. The most damage so far heard of
was at the farms Of Messrs. Robt. T.
| Chamblee, j. Mat. Chamblee and J. B.
SHELTON, about six miles west of the city.
At these places the out-houses were blown
down or unroofed, ohimneys untopped,
the fences scattered and timber blown up
by the roots. The storm travelled from
southwest toward northeast. The light
ming was almost incessant. One flash
would hardly die away before another
would appear. There was considerable
unrest among our citizens while the storm
raged, and cyclone pits were in demand.
1t was our privilege and pleasure to
worship with the congregation of the
Bolton Baptist Church last Sunday.
Rev. A. A. Marshall, who had exchanged
pulpits with DR.. Manly, the pastor,
preached most eloquent and interesting
sermon, and fairly captivated the good
people of Belton. After the sermon, Mr..
Marshall announced that the day had
been set apart for contributing to the en-
dowment fund OF Furman University,
and in few minutes over two hundred
dollars had been subscribed. This was
indeed very liberal subscription for the
church. and we doubt If there is congre-
cation of the same size in the State that
will equal it. But the Belton people
never do anything by halves, and when it
comes to doing noble act, they are
always in the front line. This congrega-
ton intend building new church this
year, and they will erect a building that
will be an ornament to their village and
an honor to themselves.
The Athens (Ga.) Banner Watchman, of
8 recent date, i'll speaking Of the Athens
Fire Department, says: ''No. will put

Mason has received an invitation for the
Fire Department of Athens to visit An
derson, S. G., on the 18th, 18th and 14th of
June, to take part in their Tourn ament.
No. 5, who now owns the champion belt,
will accept the invitation and go over to
South Carolina and show the Palmetto
boys what the Georgia boys can do. A
large number of fremen from Athens
will accompany No. 5, and glorious time
is expected. Let the Carolinians look out
for clever set Of boys, and the fastest on
record. No. is composed of the best
young men of the city, and all are perfect
gentlemen" We will give the Athens
boys genuine old Carolina welcome, and
will assure them that our boys will do
their best to make their visit pleasant
one.
