will be the first case called. and IL II

a day. 1t will be followed by two or
more cases against the Seaboard Air
Line railway, four cases II Mr.. w. B.
Wilson, ST., gets back from Cuba,

and so did Mrs, Stevenson, a Due West
girl. We went over to do some can

Stevenson very kindly consented to
drive us around in his congregations.
Immediately after dinner we started
out in the Bethany section. We saw
seven individuals and got seven new
subscriptions for the paper. But our
canvas was cut short by a sleet storm
that set in that night. 1t was with the

few Of the people at Bethany. We
passed by the Bethany Presbyterial
school, and shook hands with Prof.
Higgins. This school Is lourishing.
The boys dormitory Is full and the
girls Is running over. A new addition
is going up for they are much very
pressed for room. Prof, Huggin's is
doing a fine work. He speaks in a
very complimentary way of Miss Bes-

recent graduate Of Erskine. Bethany

number Of young and promising fami-
