Col. Hunt expects to visit all the
churches in the association as soon
as possible. addressing the laymen.
Personally | feel grateful that our
churches are 10 have Bro. Hunt with
them. I feel that it is a great help
to the pastors. and we all should seek
to arrange for the meeting in time
to get large congregations to attend.
| do not think any better thing could
be had at our country churches than
all-day services.
Any pastor and church can arrange
an all-day program and make it
pleasant nd profitable.
Bro. G. 4. Wright was with MS in
the afternoon and gave us a good SER
mon on woman 5 work in the mis-
Sionary cause. AT the noon hour the
baskets were emptied under the beau
tiful oaks and everybody was invited
to enjoy the repast. The day was too
short. and when services closed many
seemed loath to 90.
We were sorry indeed that some of
our members were prevented from be-
ing present on account Of sickness.

At st. Luke's Episcopal Church.

The Rev. Edward Calender
preached Il strong and logical sermon
III ST. Luke's Episcopal church on
Sunday morning. His theme was
"Peace,' and in it's development he
expressed many beautiful thoughts.
He spoke Of the fact that when man
was created there was peace between
God and man. Then man sinned, and
there was strife. TO effect recon-
citation God sent His Son into the
world to die the death Of the cross.
Durin" thc course Of his sermon
the Rev. Mr. Calender said that he
did not believe it was the duty of
minister Of the gospel to go into poll
teal matters in his sermons, but that
he conceived it to be the duty Of a
minister Of thc gospel to preach the
Scriptures-the reconciliation of God
and man.
Mr.. Calender was heard by his
congregation with close attention
throughout his discourse.

FOR A CITY BEAUTIFUL.
The People of Newberry Should
Work Together For Civic
Improvement.

Editor Herald and News: Permit me
to express thanks and appreciation
for your efforts towards civic i'm
provement-to make Ncwberry a city
beautiful. Houscholders must and
in this laudable cndeavor on the part
of the press by teaching their chill
dren and servants to obey an ordi-
nance or law looking to the general
welfare Of their community. 1t is
matter of painful surprise to see the
grounds around churches cut up into
crazy-quilt patches by pig paths
through the green sward. Surely such
places should be protected from van.
dals, whether they be wilful or ignor-
ant, by police surveillance and touch
Of the pocket nerve in the way of.
fine.
The editor of the Columbia State
has, by persistent effort and much
spilling Of ink, aroused a sentiment
Of civic pride, and the principal resi-
dcnce streets Of Columbia are now
beautiful with bright cannas and
violets planted on the sides Of cement
pavcmcnts and in the centres Of wide
streets. We saw policeman grab Il
negro boy who ran over some Of
these plants, and a fine kept him and
his kind from repeating the trick.
The city fathers must aid in the
work Of civic improvement by an Or
dinance providing a penalty for every
one who wantonly trespasscs upon or
destroys flowers and plants or plays
ball on public streets in close proxi-
nifty to churches or homes. A nota-
BILE example in our own State, of
what can be done to make a city
beautiful, is seen in Aiken. Another
example is Augusta. In these two
cities hundreds of cultured people
spend money and time to make homes
attractive and they enforce order, law
and dcccncy on the public streets.

NEW YORK, January 1S-Edmund
Clarence Stedman, the banker and poet,
died suddenly at his home in this city to-
night.
Mr.. Stedman. who was seyenty-five
years of age, was born at Hartford, Conn,
and while a. student at Yale earned dis
tinction in English and Greek compost
ton. After a brief editorial experience in
Norwich and Winsted, Conn, Mr.. Sted-
man took up hsi residence in New York

MANS and Harper's magazines. 1t was

ton correspondent of the New York
World
Returning to New York in 1864 Mr..
Stedman became a member of the stock

lines is regarded as finally eliminating
Mr.. Loeb from the field as q possibility
for the presidency ~ the company. Fur
ther than this, too. it Is Understood to be
Mr.. CLtrence F. NormGr,t's de sire not to
serve permanently as presl1,n..
The whole of the present regime, 1t is
said, is in fact inspired by the desire to
thoroughly familiarize the new timber on
the board Of directors with the affairs and
methods of operation of the railway prop
erty.
Briefly, the present organization is in
reality d temporary one, and the board
Of directors in the not very distant future
will face the task Of choosing perma-
nent president.
Voting Trust.
When the affairs of the railway COM
pany became very much involved about
Ave and one-half years ago, and a voting
trust was chosen as the best solution
to the difficulty. the trustees agreed that
their service in that capacity should termi-
nate in five years, the sole provision to
the contrary being that the trust might
be extended in event the preferred stocks
did not pay a ) per cent cash dividend
for three consecutive years
The property has long been on paying
basis. and the voting trust was terminal
ed June /, 1907. During the continuance
OF the trust the stockholders went
through only the form of an election, the
stock being voted In one boclx As the
prosperity of the company increased the
stock was purchased by local investors
until they held more than a majority OF
the 5000 shares. Local stockholders
wanted local directors. and this led.
naturally, to the formation of the Wash
ington proxy committee, with Charles j.
Bell at its head, and the nomination of
almost the entire ticket of directors resi-
Ient in the District of Columbia. The
elecuon yesterday was the first occasion
on which the stockholders have had real
opportunity to execute their will, and the
intense interest, with a remarkable out
pouring of ballots. was the result.
