! The State b. Y.P. u. Convention,
Which was to have met with the First
Baptist Church, this city, June 1926,
has been called off by the State Execu-
tive Committee. This is because Of
the over. shadowing influences.of the
!nternati0nal Convention. which meets
IN Atlanta June Ola. When the con-
vention was appointed for Anderson it
was not known that the International
convention would meet in the South.

Dir. Willie Shearer, of Anderson,
was in the city last week. He came
oyer to do some surveying few miles
above town, having been called in as
an expert in that business to establish
Mr. Burgess, who have for years been
at law over the ownership Of small
piece of land scarcely large enough for
o cemetery. It is claimed that the
value Of the land in question is not
worth over fifty cents, and yet the law
suit has been carried through all Of the
courts and has been sent back recently
hearing. 1t is estimated that the cost
which has already accrued In the case
will foot up nearly ono thousand dol
lars. which must finally be paid by one
party OF the other, and to do this will,
II is said. bankrupt the estate of either.
Taking these facts into consideration,
the folly Of such proceedings can be
readily seen by casual observer
