SILVER STREET CHURCH.
Lutherans at Silver Street Have Nice
Church and Growing Congre-
cation.

The Lutheran Church Visitor pub
fishes a cut of the new Lutheran
church at Silver Street and the artl-
ticle we print in this connection IN re-
gard to the church. This congrega-
ton is small but is a very live and
progressive one:
We of the Silver Street Evangeh
cal Lutheran church, Silver Street, S.
c., are not claiming to be the most
successful mission of the South Caro-
lima Synod, but we would be glad to
win that title. At any rate we are
trying to make good record and we
hope our work will "provoke unto
love and to good works.
Silver Street is small station on
the Southern railroads. station
which seems to have promising fu-
ture. About one year ago we organ
lied Sunday school there to meet
every Sunday, and at the same time
began preaching twice month. These
services were held in the school house.
Less than one year ago we organlz-
ed congregation, with twenty-five
members, and this is perhaps, the
youngest congregation in our synod.
We at once began work looking for
ward to a church building. A large
and beautiful lot was donated to U.s..
The executive committee of synod ap-
propriated $3.50 to our use. A num-
Der of individuals gave us substantial
encouragement. Soon the foundation
Of the church was laid and the work
went forward rapidly. About this
time several congregations Of the
Ne,5oerry conference responded to
our appeal, giving us total amount
Of about S50 The church is now COM
pleted and we herewith give you pic
ture of it. It is built with auditorium,
Sunday school room, recess and tow
er, and is very nicely furnished. Our
property, according to the usual estl-
mate Of church property, IS worth
about $4,000, and there would be nt
debt if we had received anything like
a general response from the churches
of or synod. Or, if there should yet
be some response, and we believe we
deserve it. the debt would likely d;s'
appear in a very short time.
On the fifth Sunday in Nay we held
our opening service. The church was
crowded to its utmost capacity. There
were twoaccessions, one by infant bap-
tism and one by confirmation. We
now have twenty-five confirmed mem
bers, the Visitor goes into every home
and we take Tidings in the Sunday
school.

As matters now stand many remem-
Der the railroad bonds where the peo-
pie got nothing and are still paying
taxes to redeem the bonds. AS the
commission is at present composed
and with no proviso as mentioned
above to guarantee that the bonds If
voted will bring improvement in our
roads many voters will cast their bal
lot against the proposition that might
otherwise vote for it.
| would suggest postponement OF
the election but the act having been
passed the election must be held, yet
short delay is better than defeat,
and it is better than to attempt to
overcome defeat Of this year next
year or the next. The sample Of good
roads now being built is at a place
it seldom gets bad and is no lesson
as if built on some red hill like on the
Whitmire, Pomaria or Belfast roads,
or at Rocky Creek or Bush river on
the Bouknight Ferry road.

your fairness in opening your columns

GOOD ROADS DEPARTMENT
By the Good Roads League.
X * X y ts* = =


A mass meeting of the citizens of
the county is hereby called. to meet
in the court house Saturday, July 8,
at II o'clock to take under eonsid-
Grafton the road question to the end
that good roads campaign may be
planned for the summer. Every cit
izen is invited to be present. The fact
that you have not decided to vote for
the bond issue Will make you no less
welcome. 1t is hoped that this cam
paign for bonds will be conducted on
very broad lines. It ought to be cam
paign Of education in the very best
sense of the word. The proposition
to borrow 100000 for road improve
ment is a big one. It ought to be
thoroughly discussed and understood
before it is rejected or adopted. No
man would be justified in VOTING for
it upon the impulse of the moment,
nor would one be discharging his full
duty as a citizen to vote against it
because of preconceived opinions un-
supported by facts.
That we need better roads is con-
ceded everywhere. That our present
system of road improvement is vital
ly deficient and altogether inadequate
to give us good roads is a matter OF
sad and disastrous experience extend
ing through many years. This is COM
mon ground upon which all can stand
in the beginning Of this discussion.
With mind open to conviction and
with an eye single to the best and
highest interest of the entire county
the solution of the road problem
ought to be approached. It is in this
spirit you are most earnestly urged
to attend this meeting.
Much and lasting good viii no
doubt result from a good roads cam
paign whether thes bonds be voted or
rejected. We want your presence to
help in planning this campaign. Let
every township have large delega-
ton present.
Another natter, We want FULL
vote on August 31st. The election Will
be conducted in the same manner as
general elections. That means you
must have your registration certlf-
cate and tax receipt in order to VOTE
Look up your registration certificate
now. If you can't find it get a dupL1-
cate before the books close which Will
be the first Monday in July.
Attention is called again to the
fact that we have for distribution
5000 copies of the act authorizing
this election. It is Of the highest 1m-
,portance that every voter acquanf
himself with all its details. Help dis
tribute them.

that maybe you were in earnest and L
began to think maybe I had better be
looking out for job, for they tell me
it does not matter how many y. s..
bonds you may be able to clip, if you
have not some steady occupation you
are liable to indictment and punish
ment under the vagrancy laws Of this
State. But when I woke up and
found you were after couple OF ne
groes somebody wanted run out OF
the community began to rest easy
and to contemplate the first Of July
when I would clip some more coupons
and rest quietly under the shadow Of
the State and continue my course OF
idleness.
I wonder if our supreme court has
not lost the record in our county Office
case. A little matter like that ought
to be settled. It will soon be time to
have another election and the Offices
ought to be settled before the cam
paign opens. We want to have real
live issues to discuss next time. No
foolishness.
I noticed the other day that the
street hands were working in Friend
street, filing in holes and making the
street smooth, and on asking what it
meant was told that it was preparing
the street for the fremen to practice
on. How would it do for the fremen
to select another street and then an
other and maybe by the time the tour
nament came off We would have a
number of streets in good repair for
other vehicles besides the hose wag-
on.
