WHARTON GROVE
ENCAMPMENT.
Ideal Weather, Fair Attendance,
Good Preaching and SINGING.

On the banks of the Corrotoman
river, where for fourteen consecutive
years Christians have labored for and
worshiped their God en- masse, is in
progress now one of the most interest
ing and what promises to be one of the
most fruitful of all former meetings
held there. Wharton Grove Camp
began on Friday of last week and as, s
usually the case, that day was spent in
moving in and getting ready for the
ten days encampment. Saturday was
not so different from Friday except
that services were held under the taber-
nacle and the work of winning souls
for the Master taken UP.
DR.. III. M. Wharton and Rev. f. w.
Claybrook were among the first to
arrive, getting there Friday morning.
Rev. Hugh HI. Owen, a Presbyterian
divine of Wisconsin, was also in atten-
dance from the first and is adding
greatly to the meetings by his sweet
singing and eloquent discourses.
Early Sunday morning people began
to pour in and continued to do so until
late in the afternoon, at which time it
was estimated that five thousand were
on the grounds the majority of them
coming by boat. Over a hundred gaso-
line boats were moored to the wharf at
one time, besides a large number of
sail boats and five steamers, among
them the large passenger steamer
Mobjack, from Norfolk, with nearly
five hundred aboard. There were also
several large sail vessels and three sail
yachts anchored abreast the grounds.
DIR. Wharton preached three able
sermons Sunday and has done the
major portion of the preaching up
to this time.
Mondays attendance was small but
the services were interesting. Rev.
Mr.. Owen preached that night to a
fair crowd, and from that time on the
attendance has increased.
Wednesday. morning Rev. c. L. Jack
son, d. D., of Philadelphia, arrived.
and is doing some powerful preaching.
and stirring the people generally. The
meetings will continue on to the close.

Governor Swanson had before him a
case which puzzled him no little-the
petition of Otis Williams, a Danville
negro, who is under sentence to hang
in Campbell county today. The
prisoner. although found guilty of muir
der in the first degree, is only fourteen
years old. He slew another negro as
the result of quarrel growing out of
a game of cards. According to the
prisoner, his victim cheated him out of
some money-10 cents and so obvious
was the fraud that several men stand
ing by told the kid to shoot. Will
Hams incensed by the loss of his dime
and emboldened by the advice of his
older companions, forthwith drew his
pistol and the homicide quickly followed.
The Governor committed his sentence
to life Imprisonment.

...STAND BY THE RURAL DELIVERY.

Mr.. Veazey has been looking over
the roads here, and he says they
are just about as bad as it is possi-
BILE for them to get.
There is no escaping the report
of the inspector on the condition
of the Benton County roads, and
unless the recommendations of the
government are needed the service
will be discontinued. We have in
mind a recent instance inGeorgia.
In one county where they have bad
roads the patrons of free delivery
were careless and failed to comply
with the postal regulations or heed
the recommendations of the de-
partment, and as a consequence
two of the routes in that county
have already been discontinued,
and unless the patrons there arouse
themselves, it is by no means i'm
probable that still others will be
discontinued.
When we consider what the es-
tablishment Of this system has
meant to the man residing in the
country, it is almost inconceivablt
that what they have already gained
should be sacrificed by the care
lessness and Indifference to the
condition of the roads by the ben
efciaries themselves.
The patrons Of rural free deliv
cry surely can not be unmindfu
of the fact that when a system haI
once been established and thel
suspended it will naturally b.
much more difficult to restore
than it was to establish it in th'
first instance.
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1907-03-29

1t would be unfortunate in the
extreme if the farmers and coun-
try residents of Benton County
should allow the impression to get
abroad that they do not appreciate
the value of the rural free delivery
system, which has been put i'll OPP
GRAFTON in our county.
1t was not an easy matter to Sc
cure the establishment of these
rural delivery routes and they are
being maintained by the govern
ment at a heavy expense. The sal
aries of the carriers have recently
been increased to $75 per month,
and in other ways every effort is
being made to perfect the system.
The government asks of the ru-
raj resident but little in order to
secure the benefits of free delivery.
Practically speaking it is only nee
essary to support the service and
maintain good roads. AS stated
last week:
"Itis evident that if the patrons
want the routes to continue they
must support the service, and the
best way to do this is to take news
papers. There are few patrons
of the rural service who do not
take their county paper. Tai
CHRONICLE clubs with a number
of State and other newspapers anc
periodicals, and the price is within
the reach of every family in Ben
ton County"
But this is not all. The gov
ernment is just as much interested
in good roads, and A. B. Veazey
postofice inspector, in converse
ton with CHRONICLE reporte
last Friday, said that the continu
sance Of rural free delivery de
pended as much on building gooc
roads as supporting the service

The resurrection of Christ was
a miracle; that is, something be-
yond the power of any created
being to effect. Christ by His di
vine power recalled His soul to
His body, and arose from the tomb
glorious and immortal. He APP
peared frequently to His disciples
after His resurrection; and to cure
the doubtful mind of Thomas, al
lowed him to touch the wounds.
