TALK TO CHILDREN.
Miss Shaner Of Missouri Gives En-
tertaiaing and Instructive Lec-
ture.

Miss Rowena Shaner, Of Missouri,
addressed the children at the meeting
Of the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union, in the Lutheran Church
Of the Redeemer, on Sunday after
noon. In the very outset Of her ad-
dress she got the. interest of the
children, and she held it throughout.
She told them in the beginning that
she would be unable to make aer ad-
dress unless they helped her, and the
children helped her, and it was q
most excellent address, not only for
the children, but for the grown peo-
pie as well. TIE children paid strict
attention.. and every question she
asked them during her address was
promptly. and intefhgently answered.
Miss Shaner began by telling the
Bible story Of David and Goliath. She
said that there we're giants stalking
abroad today, too numerous to men-
ton in her short address, but. sae
mentioned several, which she warned
the childl(n against. The first Of
these was the Alcohol Giant. This
giant could be conquered, she said.
Trust in God was necessary, and the
giant would be overcome as it had
been overcome recently in Georgia
and other states. There was one Il
quor shop that every one could close,
she said, and this was liquor shop
Just under the nose. She had the
children and the grown people, too, to
repeat the little verse,
"There is a little liquor shop that
every one can close,
It is a little liquor SHOP just under
meath your nose.'
The otner giants to which she called
special attention were the Cigarette
Giant, the Swearing Giant, and the
I1npurity Giant.
By request of the president, Mrs.
Joseph sprott, Of Manning, the de-
votional exercises on Sunday after
noon were conducted by Mr.. R. C.
Williams.
At the beginning Of the exercises
the president announced that on ae-
count Of the bad weather on Saturday
evening Miss Eta Shelley had not
been able to deliver her address OF
welcome. Miss Shelley delivered her
address, and it was responded to by
Miss Tannie Bradaan, Of Manning.
Both the welcome address and the
response were excellent in compost
tion and delivery.

STRONG AND VIGOROUS APPEAL
Mrs. Armour Makes Adress for Pro-
hibition-She Spoke Of the
Remedy.

The Lutheran Church Of the Re.
deemer was crowded with the W. c.
T. 3. delegates and the people Of
Newberry, on Sunday evening, to
hear the address delivered by Mrs.
Mary Harris Armour, who is at the
head Of the W. C. 7. q. workers in
Georgia. There can be no doubt Of
Mrs. Armour's earnestness, and that
she accompl;shes results was shown
by the fact that at the conclusion Of
her address she raised about on hun
dred and forty dollars for the cause.
In beginning her address Mrs. Ar
mour said the people had enough Of
the horrors of intemperanee; the re-
:medy now was wanted. The remedy,
SIZE said, was prohibition. South Car
.olina must vote out whiskey, she said,
and get rid Of this black stream Of
death that is flowing throuth aer.
She spoke Of the personal RESPONSE
bility resting on every one.
Everybody has their influence, she
said. South Carolina needed and New
berry needed hundreds Of ordinary
men and women filed with the spirit
OF God. There was no use for any one
to say you can't, she said. She urg-
ed the workers to be informed, say
ing ignorance was the greatest fos
God had. If the people really knew
what alcohol was they would have tao
governor to cali an extra session Of
the legislature to vote it out. Alcohol,
she said, was several different kinds
of poison. She spoke Of the infamy
Of the legalized liquor traffic. She
compared those wao wanted the re-
venue from it to Benedict Arnold and
Judas. She charged the liquor men
with sending men over the country
to treat the boys and to create in
them an appetite for liquor. "Every
bottle Of liquor sold across the coun<
ters in South Carolina is your bot,
tle," she said, "unless you are doing
all in your power to overthrow it,
She gave history Of the prohibi-
ton movement in Georgia, and of the
part taken in it by the W. c. 7. q.
workers. She said they had memor-
ialized the various religious bodies in
Georgia and through their efforts a
special day had been set apart for
encouraging the movement, and when
that day came, she said, she could feel
the prohibition wave sweeping over
the state. She believd the Atlanta"
Georgian, the prohibition newspaper
in Atlanta, sprang up in answer to {.
her prayers and the prayers Of other
devoted temperance workers.

amounts ranging from FIVE dollars to
twenty-five dollbrs, and after that
the collection plate was passed, and
forty-one dollars additional were TAX

To the Delegates to Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union Now In
Newberry.

convened Saturday evening at 8 p. m.
in the Methodist church, Newberry,
S. C., and despite the rain there was
a very good attendance Of delegates
and visitors.
This is the 24th annual convention,
but not the first opportunity that has
been given the people of this city to
entertain this noble band Of Chris
tian women, who are engaged in her
oic and praiseworthy efforts looking
to the abolition Of the whiskey traf-
f;e in every form. Some twenty
years ago this organization met here
during the life time Of Mrs. C. Now
er, who, for many years, was the
whole-souled and generous president
Of the local union. The devotional
exercises were conducted by Rev. j.
A. B. Scherer, president Of the New
berry college. Mrs. Jos. Sprott, pres
ident, called the meeting to order and
expressed her hearty appreciation
that in the good providence Of God
they we're oce more permitted to
come together. She introduced the
speakers, Drs. Jones, Pelham and
Phillips in the order named.
DR.. E. c.. Jones, in behalf Of the
city, welcomed the W. C. 7. q. in be-
fitting terms and brought to their
attention the fact that Newberry was
as dry as a chip, and that under no
circumstances would be willing to
try the liquor experiment in the fu-
ture.
DR.. W. E. Pelham, speaking for the
business men, expressed hearty ap-
probation of the honor conferred up
on him in having been Sc leeted to
welcome the fair and noble women Of
South Carolina to the hearts and
homes Of hospitable Newberry. He
facetiously remarked that the priv
ilege Of addressing so many ladies
at one time has never before been
accorded to him; in his earlier years,
it was to him great joy to address
them one by one. Referring to tae
four cardinal virtues Of the ancients
he suggested that we who live in this
present and enlightened age Of
christian civilization, should at least
be as sincere and hearty in maintain
ing tae virtue Of temperance as those
who have gone before us. He was
proud Of Newberry's record. First,
releeating the saloons to the rear;
next, relegating the dispensary to
the rear and that now temperance
and prohibition prevailed so as
scarcely a drunken man is met upon
the busy streets. He welcomed the
women, who were banded together
against the unholy legalized liquor
traffic in behalf of home and family
and bade them God speed in their
noble work.
Rev. D. G. Phillips spoke for the
churches of Newberry and Mrs. NJ.
A. Carlisle for the local ". c. I. U.
The addresses Of the two were in
spring and instructive; the welcome:
hearty and well expressed and we
feel sure the delegates will feel no
sense of home-sickness after hearing
them.

dent of the Georgia ". C. T. u, re-

HOUSES ARE
SCARCE HERE
Many Renters But No Houses
Seems to be the Cry.

The realty market is somewhat i'm
proved at the present time, and in
quiry is becoming more frequent each
day. While the transfers of property
seems to be about normal, there is a
great deal of dickering going on, and
more active market may be looked
for in the next few weeks.
One of the noticeable features at
the present time is the scarcity of
dwelling houses. In a conversation
with an agent few days ago, that
gentleman stated that he could rent a
number of small dwelling houses any
time that he could find vacant places,
but it was his Judgment that there
would not be many of these this year.
People do not seem to be on the move
at the present time, but rather, to
keep that which they now have.
This scarcity will no doubt con-
tinue. When the Stange-Ellis mills
begin number of working men will
be brought into the city, and as a
consequence the dwelling property on
the west side, will be in great demand.
At the present time there is no place
to speak of for rent, and it is quite
possible that the demand, will stimu-
late the building of many new homes
during the summer.
