We nave Neen WfltlNS uDueF auu OsEl
the nom de plnmc Of Chips for good
many years and w" suppose i'esrlv all
the readers of The Herald and News
who cared to know, have long since
learned who Chips is. We don't pro
pose to say that there is anything inde-
cent or particularly wrong in writing
over a fictitious name. But we have
taken dislike to the plan, and will,
from now on, say what we may be per-
mitted to say over our plain signature
T. J. W.
Mr.. John D. II Kinard's little son,
Herman, has about recovered from
severe attack of bronchial trouble.
Colds, colds, yes, they are severe
colds and have become epidemic, aud
good deal of gripp and pneumonia
has been mixed along
Will Paysinger, negro boy about q
years of age, died with pneumonia on
Mr.. J. Cal. Neel's place last week.
Will was a good, quiet, reliable boy.
We never heard any harm spoken OF
him, and so far as we know he was
faithful to duty.
Mr.. George GallmaD, who is working
on the Southern Road as mail boy,
came home Saturday during the snow
with cold and very severe hoarseness.
He doctored himself for few DAYS and
returned to duty. Master George is
good talker, and we fear that his hoarse-
ness came from talking to those rail-
road people too much.
We have another country store which
has always slipped our memory when
writing. G. NJ. K. Boob, son OF Mr.
W. Nj. Bobb, opened at lis fathers
home on Ridge Road about three or
four months ago. We learn that he is
doing hustling little business.
Mr.. Thomas Franklin moved 10 the
Newberr cotton mill since my last
writing.
We learn that Messrs. J. W. Werts,
of Jolly Street, and A. G. Long, OF
Ridge Road, will also move, this week,
to the Newberry cotton mills at New.
berry. And still they 60. Newberry
cotton mills are getting number OF our
good people from this section We
hate to give them up. But we earn
estly hope that peace, health and plenty
will crown their labors
There are more empty houses through
ont this section than I have ever known;
the fact is there's not enough labor left
to cultivate all of the soil. This GER
tainly means a reduction not only in
cotton, but also in corn, and less fertll-
izers.
The Bachman Chapel Sunday-school
was reorgsnized on Sunday evening the
9th inst. Jefferson Quattlebaum was
elected superintendent, with J. A. e..
Kibler as assistant superintendent.
The teachers elected are as follows:
Bible class No. l, Jefferson Quattie-
baum; class No. 2, R N. Taylor; class
No. 8, G.. S. Livingston; class No. f.
Mrs. Callie Quattlebaum; secretary and
treasurer, B. M. D. Livingston. We
are glad to see the school reorganlze
and go back to duty. Sickness, negli-
seuce, or carelessness is the only ex-
cuse for not having one among the best
county Suuday-schools at Bachman
Chapel that can be started anywhere.
We have the children, and the officers
are all a good set of Sunday-school
workers, and we see no cause why the
Sunday-school work should not grow
and prosper. 1t has been a question
which has caused considerable discus
sion among the Sunday-school workers
as to the best way to obtain punctuallty
and regularity in the Sunday-school.
We think this problem is very easy
to solve. Just let the parents and the
older heads turn out and always be
punctual and on time and the children
will follow. The fact is, we parents, as
a rule, expect too much of our children.
We expect them to be leaders in the
Sunday-school and other Christian du-
ties while they should only be follow
ers. Now let's 60 right down to the
bottom of the fact; if it is good for the
fathers aud mothers to stay at home
and read newspapers, novels, talk poll
tics, visit around among the neighbors,
and have big time in general, is 1t
any worse for the children to play ball,
kill lizards, ride calves, throw rocks,
fight, box, wrestle and do many other
evil things? Let's tote fair with the
children, teach little by example and
we will find them TO be just about as
good as we teach them by our daily
walks The school met yesterday and
we were proud TO see good turnout;
but still there were Others who could
have been there. The regular time for
meeting will be on preaching days
Just an hour before preaching. The
time for preaching has not yet been
arranged.
Mr.. w. F. Enlow visited Mr.. James
Wicker of st. Paul'S section last Satur-
day and Sunday.
Mr.. L L. Moore was confined to his
