WILL SPEAK NEXT SUNDAY.
Miss Emma Gary, a Returned Mis-
sionaIy, Will BE Here.

We are authorized to announce
that Miss Emma Gary, a returned
missionary, will speak in Walhalla
next Sunday, the place and hour not
having as yet been definitely decided
upon. 1t is quite probable that one
Of the churches will be rendered
Miss Gary for the meeting, which is
in the interest of missions and tenn
perance. The meeting will be, held
in the Court House, however, If not
j., one Of the churches. The hour
Will be fixed so as not to conflict with
any service, and announcements will
be made Sunday, so that all may
know in time and be prepared to
hear one of Miss Gary's excellent
talks. She has been highly praised
by church workers all over the State,
and we clip the following from the
Christian Advocate:
Mrs. Herbert and Miss Gary were
with us last Sunday. Sentcmhc: ic,
filling both Of my hours at Dials and
Gray Court. Sister Herbert gave a
very instructive object lesson, show
Ing the fearful contrast between the
amount of money spent for temper
ance and religious purposes COM
pared with that spent for worthless
and injurious things. Miss Gary
gave us two most excellent addresses
on temperance, delivered in a most
effective manner Her arguments
are unanswerable, being backed up
by great number of the best and
most convincing facts attainable. Any
community Is fortunate to have these
two Christian women come nto it
for they leave the community better
than before they came.
II. M. DuBosc.
write to say that Sister Herbert
and Miss Emma Gary have been with
us and, as usual, did some good
work for the cause Of temperance.
Besides giving facts and figures that
were startling, they gave excellent
talks, such talks as always bear fruit.
Some said that Miss Garys presenta-
ton Of the prohibition question was
the finest that they ever heard.
While here they organized a chap
ter, also a Band of Hope.

Why Hens Eggs are Popular.

We are indebted to the Granite
(Oregon) Gem for the following,
which argues powerfully in favor Of
publicity, even in the matter of
eggs: "Any way you take 1t, adver-
tissssg pays. A mud turtle lays Just
as many eggs in & season as does a
hen. and lays them all in a bunch at
Ihat, which Is bound to be more of q
mental stroiL; but the turtle does
not advertise and the hen does, and
the result Is here's a hundred calls
Tor hens eggs In the restaurants
Where there's one for turtles"

Her life was bright and cheerful, and
her highest pleasure was found in
giving sunshine to those about her
and cheering where the clouds of
despair, disappointment and grief
hung low. Her cheering smile and
pleasant word to all will long be
cherished by those who knew her
best, and her place will be hard to
fill.
Besides her husband she leaves to
mourn her death four children
Clifford S. Merrick, of Chicago; r.
Q. Merrick; of Greenville; Mrs. b. f..

Irish Making
Bitter Fight
Against Lords
Crisis Has Arisen Over the Land Bill
and Appeal is Made for
Funds.

LONDON, Oct. TT. p. O'Connor. NJ. p,
will sail shortly for the United States at
the request of John E. Redmond, the Irish
leader to explain the political situation to
the supporters OF the irish cause in Amer
lea and to appeal for funds to carry on the
struggle for home rule. The nationalists
regard the approaching general elections
as one of the most critical periods in their
history, and the full power of their organ
ization will be utilized in helping the liber-
ais deprive the House of Lords of the
power of veto which. they claim, is the
sole remaining obstacle to home rule.
The nationalists' point Of view is set
forth in an appeal Mr.. Redmond is for
warding to NJ. ]. Ryan of Philadelphia,
which follows:
"A great crisis in the Irish struggle has
arisen. The House of Lords is engaged at
this moment In destroying the Irish land
bill with it's promise Of closing the land
war of centuries and completing the
restoration OF all the land of Ireland TO
it's people and the banlshing forever OF
misery and famine from the west of Ire
land
General elections are certain within the
next two weeks. In these elections the
veto of the House of Lords will be at
stake, and with the veto OF the House of
Lords will disappear the last obstacle to
home rule
I'm this fight Ireland will have arrayed
against It all the forces OF landlordIsm,
wealth and privilege. Once more we ap-
peal to our race to help us fight against
these enemies OF our race"

Square Mile of
New York City
is Shaken Up
Series of Explosions in Sewers In
jures Humber of Persons and
Causes Panics.

NEW YORK. Oct. 7-Nearly a square
mile OF the middle West Side was shaken
late this afternoon by a series OF explosions,
which blew manhole covers high into the air
In crowded thoroughfares, injured several
persons, did considerable damage to prop
erty and caused a moment OF sharp panic.
Alarms of fire were turned IN. the police
reserves turned out and factory employees,
shopkeepers and tenement dwellers rushed
TO the open streets
Seven-year-old Emil. Miller was standing
on manhole cover when the first rumble
came. lie and the cover shot up ten feet
and Emil came down ABOUT a foot from
the manhole, out OF which flames were
pouring He was badly burned about the
face and body and taken unconscious to a
hospital where II was said that his CON
diton was serious.
Large windows Of many stores were shat
tered and half a dozen people were seri-
oudy cut by flying glass, while hundreds
had narrow escapes TO relate. The total
damage will probably amount to about
$1,000
The police explain the explosion by the
accidental ignition OF sewer gas mixed with
gasoline vapor from the waste from the
garages In the neighborhood. Some care
less smoker, they think. cast a lighted
stub into sewer opening.
