BACHMAN CHAPEL LETTER
I. j. W. Writes Interestingly on Union
Academy Subjects.

Don't get worried, brother farmer.
There will be plenty of sunshine. All
in plenty of time to plow and plant.
Our interesting young friend, J. d.
Quattlebaum, has made shingle ma
chine and will be ready soon to saw
shingles.
There were several porkers butchered
last week owing to the cool spell which
our farmers have passed over, and
still few more are awaiting another
cool snap.
There will be Communion Services at
Colony church on next Sunday, and
also Communion Services at St. Philips
on the second Sunday.
Prof. and Mrs. D. A. Quattlebaum,
of Delmar High School, came over last
Saturday and attended Conference
They spent awhile with their parents
Mr.. l.. A. Griffin and mother spent
Saturday night and Sunday with rela-
tives in this community.
l should have said that Miss Essie
Sheely, sisteriof Mrs. Quattlebaum, was
in company with them.
There has been no corn planted in this
immediate section that hav. heard Of.
We attended the Conference at Colo
ny on Saturday, and had intended to
give full account of the meeting but
it rained us away on Sunday; therefore
we failed to get the full proceedings
There was good attendance on Satur-
day, and we were glad to see so many
ministers present and nearly all TAX
ing part in the discussion of the various
subjects. The fourth subject which
Seads, "Can Any One Who Neglects
the Sacrament of the Alter and the
Public Worship of Gods House be Con-
sidered a Member of Good Standing in
Our Church., especially centered quite
an enthusiastic discussion. This is get
ting down to the brother who consti-
tutes himself a Christian, but when it
comes to the point for the church to say
what must be done with a person who
wilfully neglects his Christian duties it
is a hard problem to solve. The Con-
ference, so far as it went, was not
only interesting but alsovery profitable
| to those present, and we believe we
| ought to hold Conference oftcner.
We are just back from attending the
| Good Roads Association which covened
| at the court house last Tuesday ac-
| cording to a previous call 1t would
be useless for me to try to go into any
| thing like full details of what was said
and done, as we are sure the Herald
and News reporter, who never fails on
such occasions, will give a full account
of the meeting. Although if he would
| report all that was said he would have
to increase the size of his paper to about
twelve columns. 1t is well to say
enough, but some times there is danger
OF saying too much. Nevertheless was
glad to see such an interesting meeting,
| and hope not only to see the inter-
est kept up but to see it continue to
grow and spread until it has fully
aroused feeling of enthusiasm all over
the State. The good roads subject is
not only one of the growing issues of
the day but the time is fast approaching
when it will almost be the only issue.
We people are in the habit of only do
ing things just as necessity commands.
The present county government law
which has been in operation for the past
nine years, and which we said was inn
practicable and would prove a perfect
failure, has almost brought that point
where the people are beginning to real
ize not only there is something needed
in this respect but that something must
be done. 1t must be remembered that
Editor Aull has been advocating this
! movement for several years, and what
ever may be accomplished in bettering
the condition of our highways may be
credited to him. And with due con,
sideration to our Supervisor say that
e. II. Aull should have been made
| chairman of this organization, for the
truth is the truth; he is the head of the
| movement. But I have said enough
as l know your report will be about as
much good road talk as the peor lie want
t read at one time. So l will conclude
what | want to say in fu ture letter
