The closing meeting Thursday night
Of the Christian Crusaders was prob
ably the most largely attended OF
the many in the series. The large
tabernacle was filled to it's utmost
capacity and there were over one
hundred persons on the outside, un-

Lantern, July 80: Mrs. S. B. Latham
returned yesterday morning from
Lowryville. where she had been to
see her father, Mr.. Robert Hope. who
is quite feeble in health. We
believe that Abbeville county has in
Mr.. ]. Fraser Lyon a son that is a
distinct credit to her: one who fol-
lowed his convictions on the liquor
problem until he was convinced thai
the course pursued was wrong, and
then had the honesty and courage
to say so; who, when appointed to
the unpleasant duty of investigating
the conduct of those who were not
accustomed to have their doings
questioned, went at his work just as
if he thought the legislature was in
dead earnest about the investigation
While the investigation was dealing
with what was denominated the
small fry" the sarcastic inquiry
came from a certain quarter, why

county will resent the hurling of vile
language at a worthy fellow citizen
for the simple discharge of duty
.... No. 33 of the Southern was
wrecked about three miles below

be taken to the hospital and none were
seriously hurt. She went to Savan-
nah on a pleasure trip and spent al
