New York, Jan. 31.-At the W. {
L. Unions of this city the crusade Of
Mrs Nation has. as a rule, been 70
nored. though at meeting OF the
Demorest Union Dr. Ellen Miles and
the Rev. Phebe Hanaford, the presi-
dent. had both come armed with res
olutions declaring Mrs. Nation :
methods unfit for New York. Dr.
Miles declared that Mrs Nation hal
done infinite harm 70 the ". C. T.
L. cause. Mrs Mary f. Teats OF
San Francisco. a national evangelist
of the v. c. T T., declared on the
other hand. that Mrs. Nation has
been great martyr and compared
her to the early abolitionists.
The members as whole. however,
seemed terrified at the thought that
Mrs. Nation might descend on New
York and demand their assistance in
demolishing saloons. They declared
that "educative methods " were the
only ones TO apply here ana Mrs
Martin excused the lack of active
recognition OF the Nation crusade
bv saving that resolutions would be
passed next month.

Mrs. Nation wore an old gray
shawl and carried an ordinary hand
bag. When she appeared at the diff
ferent Joints, the owners stood back
of the barricaded doors and awaited
an attack. She begged them to let
her in, that she might talk to them,
promising not to harm anything.
But they were afraid of her, and
would not open the doors. Nothing
daunted. she talked at them after
this fashion,:
Pm sorry for you, boys. You
look SO much ashamed OF yourselves.
I'm not mad ut YOU boys. I'm not
hating youa bit, even when | come

Incredible as it may appear, the
the talk Mrs. Nation gave them. She

Domestic Animals.

We have just received Census Bulletin
No. II, which gives a tabulation of all
domestic animals in barns and Enclosures
not on farms or ranges. This report covers
every State and county in the United
States. We find the following credited
to Union county:
Number Of enclosures reporting. do
mestic animals, 23S; all meat cattle, 26S;
calves under year, 80; steers year and
under 2, 6; heifers l and under 2 years.
2; dairy COWS 9 years and over, 222
1t seems by the above that the heifers
and steers under 2 years are rather a
scarce article around Union. The above
however, has reference to those in barns
and enclosures, and very few of these
kind are kept up. Horses, 1S1; mules,
~; swine, Al; goats, 8.
The comparative statement shows for
South Carolina in 1900, neat cattle, a.
800, as against 80, ,4O4 in 1870, a pretty
big falling off in 20 years. Horses o.
1913 In 1900. and 9,947 in 1870. Only a
slight difference in the number of horses,
but the difference here, too, is to the ad-
vantage Of 1870.

of red tape. Some of the old

witnesses. Their applications are already
signed by witnesses, some of whom are
dead and gone. In some instances it
may be there are no survivors of a COM

deny them their pension money under
such circumstances.

rendered his resignation as pastor of
Lockhart Baptist Church which was &C.

other churches that he served last year,
which leaves LOckhart, Mt. Joy, Phil

pastor. Who will serve us for the pres
ent year does not as yet appear, but we
are hopeful that we will secure the SER
vices of some good man. 1t can I've said
truly Of the retiring pastor that he served
us faithfully and never at any time let
the banner of the Master trail in the
dust. He set the cause Of Christ high
and lived life consistent to his high
calling. What will be our loss will be
