arc gone for good [ expect SO far as
he is concerned. And it serves

Rev. Sam II Creech opened the
meeting at Mesopotamia yesterday,
A large congregation was present.
He preached from the text: Go
through. go through; prepare ye the
way ofthe people; cast up, cast up the
highway; gather out the stones; lift
up standard for the people. Isaiah
62: TO- He laid special stress on the
last clause Of the verse and preached
a fine sermon. The meeting will go
on until Saturday. In his opening
remarks Mr.. Cr2ech said: "That
could this meeting 90 on
week and a score of new converts be
brought into the church without re-
viving the old members it would be
practically failure. What we want
is true, genuine church workers, such
as feel that they have something to
do. And when once brought to a
realization of that the meeting will
be success. But brothers, sisters
let us get right ourselves and God
will take care of the balance"

f had the pleasure, in general
with our citizens, of attending the
political meeting at Gaffney last Wed
nesday, 23rd, and heard several of
the candidates for State offices speak.
The courtesy with which the candi-
dates treated each other was truly
commendable in so far as / could see
and hear, though did not stay to
hear it all. The crowded condition
of the court house made it uncom-
Portable. Chairman Butler presided
with his accustomed dignity and fair
ness and the best Of feeling prevailed,
much more than we usually see.
