THE YOUNG MAN IN PUBLIC LIFE

even grasp the meaning Of public

olina Rural Letter Carriers Associa-

vice-president, the State president, Mr..
S. G. Mcdaniel, of Laurens, having re-
| tired from the service since the last

At the afternoon session the associa-
ton was treated to a very excellent and
practical address on good and bad roads
by Mr.. Thos. E. Wicker, delegate from
Newberry. Mr.. Wicker is an enthusi-
asst on the subject of improving the
public roads. He wants the system of
working the roads abolished as now OBJ
tains in most of the counties and urges
that each county delegation to the next
General Assembly be impressed with
the Importance of securing change in
the road law whereby sufficient funds
can be raised for road Improvement and
the taxation for this purpose be made
just and equitable. Mr. Wicker, as has
been stated, is greatly interested in
this subject and he has evidently given
it much thought and study
Mr.. Brown, of the postoffice depart
ment, as the personal representative of
the Hon. D. G. McGraw, fourth assist
ant postmaster general, was the guest
of the association and added much to
the interest of the proceedings in the
way of practical talks and suggestions.
On Saturday the convention heard the
various committee reports, elected Off
GERS for another year and delegates to
the National convention and adjourned
| at noon to meet next year at Rock Hill
! July 9th and 7th.
Mr.. Peterson, of Newberry, was
elected president by acclamation, as
was Mr.. Conner, of Rock Hill, for vice
president. Mr.. Ernest Brown, of Aiken
was chosen as secretary while Mr.. j.
| E. Johnson, of Gray Court, was re-
elected treasurer. Mr.. Wicker was Sc

The reunion of the Laurcns county
Furman men and the banquet at Gray S
hotel last night was in every respect a
success and thoroughly enjoyed by all
who attended. About fifty men sat
down together, revived the memories
of past days, heard with pleasure the
several speeches delivered and partook
with relish of the refreshments provid-
ed. Some of the fifty who were pres
ent were not Laurens men, but invited
guests; they received a hearty welcome
from the men of LaurcnS and evidently
were pleased with the opportunity to
meet with their fellows Of Il ncighbor-
county. Among these guests were: c.
F. Haynes worth Esq. Of Greenvllc, a
recent law graduate of Havard umver-
sity; Mr. Allison p Hckson of Gaifney:
Rev. E. p. Eastering of the executive
staff of Furman; and DR.. E. NJ. Poteat,
president of Furman university
The evening was most pleasantly
spent, all seeming to have a good time,
and every man coming away impressed
with the greatness of the work being
done by his Alma Mater, and his SYM
pathies more with the institution.
The comittees, of which Mr.. c. A.
Power was chairman, deserve credit for
their efforts in bringing together such a
body of men and for their success in
providing for the entertainment.
After the address Of welcome by DR..
II. x. Aiken, president of the Chamber
of Commerce, and the response by Prof.

MIR. CIRCUIT breaches
DOCTRINAL SERMON.
Pastor Of the First Methodist Church
Makes His Position Clear on Sale
of Alcoholic Liquors.

/ i'"SC Su'INSiy lllOTHHlE uJ lnc fllSl
Methodist church of this city the pastor,
Rev. John d. Crout, preached his an
nual doctrinal sermon, which, it might be
stated by way Of parenthcsis, was pre-
pared some time ago, but because of
numbers of circumstances was not de-
/ livcrcd until the Sunday morning past.
The sermon without doubt was Of force,
revealing the fact that the Methodist
church of this city will hew strictly to
! the line in matters of private and pub
lie conduct, if the membership follow
the leadership of the able Christian
man who is their pastor. Mr.. Crout,
of course dealt with all the rules gov
ernlng the conduct of the church mem
bcrs, in both their private and public
lives. The part of the sermon, how
ever, that demanded so much attention
from the congregation and that has at
tractcd such wide spread comment was
the stand taken by the minister on the
whiskey question, both as to its sale and
its drinking
AS well might be judged, considering
that he is a conscientious Christian man
and minister, Mr.. Crout is opposed to
both the sale and drinking Of any aIco-
hoIic liquors. In his sermon it was
made plain that either was not only a
violation of the spirit of the Methodist
church rules but contrary to the written
law. The inference therefore was that
Mr.. Crout holds it against the rules Of
the Methodist church for any member
of that church to authorize the sale of
whiskey by casting ballot for an in
stitution organized for that purpose.
Here is an extract from Sunday morn
| ing S discourse that will give far in
sight to the position held by the Rev
crcnd Mr.. CrOut:
There is only one position that a
Christian can take on the question Of
whiskey drinking and any thought to the
contrary is prepostcrous. The Word
tells us that no drunkard shall enter the
kingdom Of God. If were a druniard
going to the judgment from Laurcns
county ] would appeal to God whether
or not had wrecked my life according
to law. would tell him that the in
tlucncc and support of the members Of
the church was behind the law by which
my life was ruined.
