"Old Man Kay" Writes u Letter from The
Capital City-Wants His FrIcnds
to Call and SEQ UIm

We'll, Mr.. Editor, having been on my
old stamping grounds, once more the
same old desire to write The Herald
and News came back, and here we arc
scribblng again.
1 attended the session of the South
Carolina Synod Of the Lutheran Church
at st. Lukc's tho past week, and en-
joycd the hospitality of those good pco-
pie to the full. During tho session Of
Synod we met and greeted many old
friends and right glad VIC were to shake
hands with them again. 1t will no
doubt be many day ere we have this
pleasure again.
The synod was well attended by both
clerical and lay delegates, and much
interest was manifested by the large
congregations each day. AS it was
near Prosperity we spent the night
with friends and relatives in that
burg" aud had pleasant converse with
many friends. 1t was pleasure in
decd to be there once again.
We often hear comparisons made be-
tween our slow plodding ways at tt c
South and the fast ''up-to-date" ways
at the North, and | can say that from
personal observation for one am glad
OF our slow ways, and trust that we
will never depart from them. Oh, if
the mothers Of our Southland but
knew what tho "ncw idea" meant to
their daughters they would never en-
courage their departure from the "old
idea"
There has been SO many of our New
berry friends here since my lust letter
that it is impossible to mention them
all, but they come on the train, by
wagons and in buggies, and we we're
glad to sec them, one and all, and hope
they will come again.
We had hoped that VIC would have
heard of II cotton seed oil mill going up
at our old homo this year, but up to
this writing everything is mum. We
wonder who it is that is pushing the
quill for The Herald and News at Pros
pcrity now. Como old boy or girl, give
us the news regularly rs VIC arc deeply
interested il our old town yet, and
hope to sec her get II move upon her.
Mrs. f. II. Aull paid flying visit to
tho Capital this week. We were glad
to sec her again.
Our congratulations to you, Mr.. Ed
itor, upon your election rs delegate
to the United Synod at Winston, N. G..
We nope to sec many Of our old
friends and shake their hands during
the fair. Come in to sec nc.
Old man soap" is here in all his
glory and is pirouting and sashaying
around in good old style. The best
thing that happened was, one evening
the gas works blazcd up, and not being
accustomed to seeing such blaze only
when IL house was on fire, grabbed his
hat and started on run and yelled
Oh! boys, come on, fire! fire.! fire.m and
after running across the square he waS
headed Off and brought TO a s:4u.: D..
out OF breath, and to have seen c;:1 As
he faced the yelling, laughing c:pw.:
was worth great big quarter. a2i :GS:
call "ah, boy auG away lie goes.
He has quit associa:ing with the boys
and has gone TO escor,iug the young
ladies.
On recent visit TO the Governor
office we found the genial Secretary
surrounded By a cotcrie OF newspaper
men, and we could not help feeling that
he was in his native element and was
thoroughly at home among them.
Well, we are having deluge OF
Dispcnsary doings, sayings and writ
ings and nauseum, and do hope that
the Augcon stables will be cleaned
up before the matter is ended. and that
good will come out Of it and this >ther-
wise good law will be put in such con-
dltlon that its worst enemies will come
to respect and honor it.

Dominick have been in the city this
week. They speak OF making this
their home.

Now We must enter our protest against
