ST. LUKE's
An the News From a Live Community IL.
teresuDgIy Told.

As l see but few articles in your
columns from St. Luke's, I will en-
deayor to write you a very short one,
and promise if I say little I will like
wise occupy little space. "Briefness is
the soul Of wit Co."
The trustees of st. Luke's school
have secured two excellent teachers,
Mr.. Mike Monts and Miss Bessie
Wheeler, for the next session, Mr..
Monts. acting as principal and Miss
Bessie, assistant. We feelthat parents
may rest at ease with their children
under the ARE of these instructors; for
their influence can be but good.
MIR. w. F. Bedenbaugh, who gradu-
ated at Newberry last session, began
teaching at Mt. Pilgrim Monday. He
is an inexperienced. teacher, or very
nearly so; but is a young man with
ideas. The tender buds under his care
will be handled with caution, for "as
the twig is bent so the tree will grow"
st. Luke's loses one of her daugh-
tiers for a short while-one interested,
too, in education. Miss Essie Moore
left a few days ago to teach near
Kinard's. We cannot now hear her
sweet, melodious music in our Sunday
School, but it looks as if the Creator
has ordained that no place in a good
cause must be vacant. So we can still
hear the sound of the organ blending
with happy voices, singing the praises
of the great Jehovah.
We miss others, who are now at
school elsewhere, in search of knowl-
edge. But we will not dwell upon
Closing for we might become gloomy
and respondent. But, however, in such
times we remember the old adage:
.:There's a sweet for every bitter"
and look for their return. Those of
whom we speak are: Miss Carrie Hun
ter, at Winthrop; Messrs. Robert Hun
ter, at Clemson, William Fellers and
Willie Pugh, at Newberry, and J. I.
Bedenboug at the University of Geor-
gia, Medical College.
Though it is .''school" age, we will
not have all school, school, school. We
will speak just a little of a more sacred
mission-the church.
The holy sacrament was administered
Sunday to a large congregation-or to
a part of them. Rev. C. P. Boozer was
with the pastor, Rev. H. J. Matthias.
Rev. Boozer, after the communion,
made a long and excellent talk to the
congregation, (and I might say the pas
tor, too), who were eager to hear his
words. We judge that Rev. Boozer's
object was ''peace making, for he has
not forgotten that "a house divided
against itself cannot stand" We ap- ,
preciate Rev. Boozer's Intervention, for
his mission was a noble one-reconcili- !
alton. Though an arbitrator is not
likely to socceed when the ''battle cry
is heard from the 'tfle and rank" Their
watch word is in terms of some, "close
communion" Though led by 'The
Leader their force is not overwhelm-
for one may see a great number in
battle array with their flag unfurled on

stalwart fight for tariff reform. Make
this the main issue, secure harmony IN

Bucknell Scores on Yale.

by the toughest play seen on the Yale field
in years. Yale defeated Bucknell Saturday

compelled to leave the field with a pad

of the visiting team was so badly hurt
that he was unable to stand when assisted
to his feet after scrimmage. Spectators,
firing of the rough work, protested loudly.

off the field several times personally pun

game apparently lost patience with the

the grandstands into convulsions by "a

which seemed to carry with it some vlgor,

as if to strike him. Evidently he thought
better of it. and contented himself with
