Interesting Budget from Newry- Carlisle
Courtenay Conducts a Successful Meeting.

Newry, Aug. 2.-(Too late for st
week. .)-Editors Courier: We will
say to your readers and the people
of Oconee that while Newry does
not, like some places in the county,
blow off every week through your
horn, that we are still pursuing the
even tenor of our way, and progress
ing along the lines of industry and
morality that are permanent, and,
we trust, durable.
Thos. f. Jamison, of Greenville,
one of the best Gf not the best) brick
masons in the State, is about to com
plete the brick work on the large
steam plant that the Courtenay Manu-
featuring Company is putting in.
Mr.. Jamison built the mill at this
place about thirteen years ago, and
during the flood of 1908, when other
mills were washed away, not brick
was torn from the walls of the mill
here.
The Sunday school, under the care
of Bro. j. f. Jones, is moving along
nicely.
Perhaps there is no better singing
choir in the State than the one here,
and we hope that on next Saturday
and Sunday, when the Oconee
County Singing Convention meets
here, that they will be able to verify
what we have said about them. w.
f. Hodge, Coke Whitmire w. j.
Jones and others compose the choir.
Sheriff Haynes, who lives near
Fairview church, brought to the
ginnery here and had ginned, on
July 28th, four bales of cotton, some
thing your scribe has never witnessed
before-cotton ginned in July-al-
though tho cotton was not raised
this year. Mr.. Haynes is success
full farmer and one that does what
every farmer ought to do-makes his
corn, bacon and supplies at home.
Farmers, if you would do this you
could do like Mr.. Haynes-sell your
cotton when it suited you and thus
get the very best market price.
Right here we would like to make
a suggestion to the farmers and mill
men. This is an age of concentra-
tion of mutual and identical inter
ests, and the interests of the farmers
and mill men seem to be so init
mately connected, and from the fact
that the mill men are the consumers
of cotton, and not only look to the
farmers for cotton, but look to them
as consumers of their products, and
the life and we'll being of one depends
upon the other, hence we suggest
that the farmers and mill men get
together, and thus, by standing by
one another, put the spectators out
of business, as they have been, in
many cases, curse to the mill men
as well as to the farmers.
Mrs. DR.. d. Lesesne Smith has re-
turned from visit to Walhalla.
She reports nice time partaking of
the sparkling waters and imbibing
the solubrious air, and viewing with
admonition the majestic peaks of the
far-famed Blue Ridge mountains
that loom up at no great distance
all combining to make a visit to
Walhalla never to be forgotten.
The services at the Baptist church
last Sunday evening, conducted by
Bro. Carlisle Courtenay, were very
interesting, and a great deal of the
Holy Spirit was manifested by 26
young men and women accepting
Christ. One thing that contributed
largely to the success of the meeting
was the efforts of the Personal
Workers Club, organized by Bro.
Courtenay. 1t would be a good
thing for every church to organize
these clubs. Select the most active
and devout members to act as work
ers. Let the workers see the sinners
and talk to them and tell them of
His saving power, and what He can
do for them by their asking, This,
