we can get the parent to school to
hear our lectures and see our illus

The present management OF the
schools has done much in the way of
improvement. and will not stop until
the schools are made equal to the
best public schools in the country.

Presbyterian Items OF Interest.

Enoree Presbytery met at Gaffney re-
Gently. Education had full ventilation
before large congregation in an even
ing popular meeting, where stirring ad-
dresses were made by DR.. II. l.. Smith,
President Of Davidson College, and Rev.
Robt. Adams, especially in behalf of the
College at Clinton. But the chief inter
est centered in proposition from Chi
cora College for Women at Greenville, to
convey that flourishing institution, upon
certain specified conditions, to the joint
ownership and control of Enoree and
Bethel Presbyteries. The scheme was
approved and Rev. Robt. Adams was ap-
pointed to represent the matter before
the South Carolina Presbytery and Rev.
G. G. Mayes before Bethel Presbytery.
Rev. G. e. Mayes, K. e. Graham and Col.
j. w. Ferguson were appointed to raise
funds for the enterprise.
1t is announced that the sum of S236,
.72 has been received by the Southern
Presbyterian church for foreign missions
for tire ecclesiastical year just closed.
This is. a gain, over the receipts of the
previous year, of $58, 8,070 43.
The amount received for the General
Assembly's home missions for the same
period is $64, 1924, being 9,295. 81
larger than the receipts of the previous
year. In this sum is included the large,
handsome gift of one generous Christian
woman
The sum of 1854. 81 was collected for

Old Pickens News.

Old Piokens, April 1S.-Nothing is
Everything is living and blooming that
the Great God of all decreed should live
and bloom. Neighbors say the fruit
crop is ruined and If everybody plants
all they can in corn and sorghum and
other necessary crops, cotton will be
worth all the way from 8 to 20 cents per
pound.
Nothing new in "this neck of the
woods" unless it will please some of
your readers to be informed that our
Supervisor, by his subordinate, e. P.
Wood, has been among "a with his road
machine and force of hands. Within
four days this force, operating from Old
Pickens bridge toward Seneca, has done
more for the community and placed the
roads in better condition than they have
been in for fifteen years. Heretofore
the pick and mattock, lazy road hands
and Indifferent overseer have failed to do
what has been done. If tree is to be
judged by its fruits and if faithful
officer should be endorsed for a second
term by reason of duty we'll performed,
Mr. McAlister and his associates will be
hard to beat, if they are doing all over
the county what they are doing in this
section.
Some careless person or miscreant, in
his malice, fired the forest woods on the
Norton estate last week and immense
damage has been done to the Norton
estate, Keith, Lee, Hill, Cary, Moser and
other lands. The law is sufficient, but
how are we to detect the villain who does
his fendish work when law-abiding citi-
zens are asleep? c.

MiIlionaire,s Poor Stomach.

The worn-out stomach of the over-fed
millionaire is often paraded in the public
prints as horrible example of the evils
attendant on the possession of great
wealth. But millionairos are not the
only ones vino are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion is far greater
among the toilcrs. Dyspepsia and indi-
gestion are rampant among these people,
and they suffer far worse tortures than
the millionaire unless they avail them
selves of standard medicine like Green's
August Flower, which has been favorite
household remeny for all stomach trou-
bles for over thirty five years. August
Flower rouses the torpid liver, thus
creating appetite and insuring perfect
digestion. 1t tones and vitalizes the en-
tire system and makes life worth living,
no matter what your station. Trial bot
