have been tins custom mof many of
our Christian forefathersto name
their churches after some nearby
stream; hence. Sleepy Creek,
Stevens, Creek, Mountain Creek,
Horns Creek and Rocky Creek
churches in this county.
The original Sleepy Cruek
church was constructed of loga,
the material of which all of the
buildings of the pioneer settlers
were constructed, After the lapse
of years a new and, presumably,
larger house of worship being
needed, the present McKerdree
church was erected. A new loca-
ton, about two miles east of.the
old mother church, was selected
and the new chufch, was called
McKendree, being named for q
minister who was serving the Cir
cult at that time. Through habit,
many persons for years afterwards
called the new church Sleepy
Geek.
This bit of church history
will explain to the younger gener-
alton why McKendree church is
sometimes called by two names.

thatsit is the part of wisdom for

.vaerancy cause Of Crime.

In commending The Advert
ser,s editorial of last week on
aPut the ysgrants to Work,
Judge James w. DeVore express
cd the opinion that lack of en-
forcement of the vagrant law IN
South Carolina is the cause OF
much of The crime that is COM
mitted. Judge DeVore said that
in his charge to the grand jury
during the recent special term OF
court in Lexington, be stated that
the real cause of the murder OF
Mrs. Ellisor by the Tolan negroes
could be traced to the non-en-
forcement of the vagrant law.
Had the perpetrators of this fou!
murder, who were vagrants of the
most Objectionable type, been
forced either to work upon a farm
OF upon the public roads, they
would not have been roaming
over the country upon q mission
of robbery and murder. =
In this position Judge DeVcre
10 nnonestionably right. A large
per cent of the criminal class,
whether in town or country,
comes from the ranks of the un-
employed. Therefore, the enforce
mentof the vagrant law will not
only facilitate the work of the
farmers and other lines OF ousl-
ness, but will to some extent pre-
vent the commission of crime.
every rural community and
every town-Edgefeld included
has shift,ess, idllng class. If
these people will not work Of their
own motion, let's enforce the law
against vagrancy and put them to
alling up some of the holes in the
public roads.
Supervisor Self could use 'sev-
eral hundred vagrants to advan-
I tage right now.

Children,s Day at McKendree
Beautifully Observed.

A record breaking crowd at
tended Childreu's Day exercises al
McKendree on Sunday ,,ast. Many
old persons who were present de-
,lared that they had never before
seen such large crowd at the
church. Not half of the throng
could be seated. Indeed, it is
doubtful whether tie church
would have held the ladies ard
children, 10 say nothing of the
men and--candidates.
After the Sunday school was,
over, Rev. ]. C. Roper, presiding
elder of the Cokesbury district,
preached q very timely ard prac-
tical sermon upon the parable Of
the Talents" Although the house
was literally packed, almost two
deep in some of the seats, and the
perspiration trickled freely down
ones anatomy, the speaker held
the close and sympathetic atlen-
tion o. the audience.
AT the conclusion of the SER
mon the sacrament of the Lords
Supper was very beautifully oh.
served.
Next came the social feature of
the day-an adjournment of TWO
hours for dinner. Very soon after
the church was vacated, the
throng gathered about the score
or mole of heavily laden tables
that were arranged about the
church yard. And if the table to
which it was the writer's good
fortune to be escorted is to be
taken as sample of the dinn-r
at McKeDdree, we might write
columns about it and then the
half would not have been told.
People mag cry "hard times" in
some sections but there are no
shard times" around McKendree.
When the President entertained
he Conference OF Governors at the
bite House last week the feast
spread before them could. aot
have surpassed the dinner served
at McKeldree on Sunday. Young

Ksndree mother. No doubt the e
were more people present than the
housewives expected, yet after
everybody's appetite had been
satisfied great baskets full of nict
things were left.
When the congregation re-as-
sem bled in the afternoon, the
Children's Day exercises were
held. Nearly a score Of bright lit

beautifully arranged program OF

Hold Spot Cotton For the Mini

mum.
If there ever was a time to hold,
it is now, cotton has advanced I
of a cent per pound in OF g week.
What is the cause?
Is it because, trade conditions
are better or cause of necessity?
Futures cannot be spun and WOW
ell into cloth, If they could, cotton
would not have made this advance.
Do not let a little advances in
price influence you to sell. Hold
on till the minimum is reached.
Remember the cotton broker has
sold your cotton to the mills, how
make him give the minimum be-
fore be gets it TO deliver to the
manufacturer. They are calling
him for cotton is. why it has ad-
vanced.
Now boys, freeze 10 it, and the
price will get right. Tne spot cot
ton is in your hands, and 1T is
yours. The other fellow is begin
ming to want it badly now. Re-
member 4,500,000 bales Phort
means something and the short
age is all in your favor. We all
know tnas crop conditions are
bad, not only east of the Missis-
sippi, but west also.
The cotton crop is at least 3
weeks late and bad stands, and
the cold weather has caused much
replautlpg. Every day will have
to be an ideal day from now un-
til the crop is made for us to du-
plicate the 1907 crop.
Miss Giles says the general
condition of the crop is Is per
cent better this year than last.
Remember this is only guess
work with her and is a guess that
is far wrong. She gets pay for
fhla guessing.
The European Mills now want
cotton and they will need 1,00O,-
900 l.ales more of American cot
ton this year than they have been
using. The Egyptian and India
crop is 100000 bales short and
they have been getting most Of
that cotton.
