fisw . South Carolina cirsuit Preacher
Was Provided For.

80 EfoNtoea FoTs
One Of the most successful circuit
preachers in South Carolina is Mr..
Dukes. At one time he had cir
cult that embraced parts of three
counties, from Smyrna to Washfoot,
to Zion and back again, and he tells
many amusing anecdotes Of his ex-
periences on the road.
When he was serving his appren-
ticeship as a young and ambitious
minister Of the gospel he was sent
as a missionary to Florida in the
early days and was assigned to a
post on the Indian river far south
Of Titusville. There was no railroad
then, and sparse population, who,
like Little Breeches of John Hay
fame, didn't go much on religion
and looked with an eye askance at
strangers.
Mr.. Dukes told the people that hp
was determined to establish o
church there; that churches brought
schools; that schools brought set
tiers and that settlers brought pros
perity, and that he had no money
and no price, but intended that the
people should take care of him.
1t was at a big meeting that all
this was said, more of a citizens
meeting than a church gathering,
and Mr.. Dukes asked:
"Now, what can you do for the
preacherp / don't intend to put the
burden of my living upon any one
family, but upon all of you, turn
and turn about. l will not, how
ever, go where the latch string is
not hanging out of the door. What
can you do for the preacher?"
One old lady, who had a dim rec
objection of small church in the
piney woods of Georgia when she
was girl, said:
'1 kin eat him, but / can't sleep
him."
"That's good. Now, who next?
asked the missionary.
"Well, if Sister Jenkins is gwine
to eat him I'll agree to sleep him,
but / can't wash him."
"That's goodl Who next?y
Then another sister spoke up and
said, "Well, I'll wash him, but I
amt much on billed shirts"
At another time Mr.. Dukes called
at house one Sunday morning to
take thctwo daughters to church.
The two girls had been off to
school for a year each. They were
dressing while the old lady, smoking
by the hearth, expatiated to tho
preacher upon the merits of educa-
tion and the accomplishments OF
her daughters.
In few minutes one of the girls
sailed in arrayed in all the colors Of
the rainbow. "Oh, ma" she ex-
claimed, tanning herself furiously,
Il feel so luminaryl"
In minute or two the other girl
sailed in like the first, and she ex-
claimed, ooh, ma, I feel SO stew
minaryp
The old hdy's eyes glistened with
pride as she beheld her girls i'm
pressing the preacher with fine
words, and she exclaimed in her
| turn:
."Bless God! How dem gals kin
talk de gramminary!" - Florida

This was decided tonight by the mem

which was in session until midnight. The
council met at s O'Clock to hear the re-
port Of the negotiations that have been
in progress with the employers through
out the day. They agreed to all the
stipulations OF the employers with the
exception of that which declared that
the drivers of the express companies
should not be taken back. This was the
rock upon which the peace programme
was wrecked and after several hours Of
debate 1t was decided that the Team
sters' Union could not leave the express
drivers to make lone fight but must
stand by them. 1t was decided to call
off all negotiations. and prepare for a
further fight.
The sense of the meeting was expressed
in the following resolution, which was
passed, and given out as defining the
position OF thetteamsters:
eve believe that railway express COM
panies are not justified in their refusal
to reinstatc any of their employees, and
believe that the best interests OF all would
be served had they agreed to the same
proposition, or a somewhat similar one,
to that which The Employers Associa-
tion suggested. Under these conditions
Il IS incumbent upon the members OF
the teamsters organization to continue
the strike until such time as the ex-
press companies will agree to the same
Z conditions as those offered by the EN-
ployers' Association.
