A GREAT REVIVAL.
Results OF Meeting at Buie's Creek
Editor johnson n ViSitOr-Splendid
OlDlaxiago Contribution

Especial to News and Observer)
Buie's Creek, Nov. 26,-Thanksgiv-
Buie's Creek, Nov. 24.-Thankssiv-
has been a notable day in Buie's Creek
life. This was the most notable Of all
the years.
It followed a great revival, Rev. F.
D. King, Of Jonesboro, doing the
preaching. There were 90 for bap~
tism, s received by letter. and re-
ceived from other churches This was
the third meeting held here by Mr..
King, in which 81 were added by bap-
tism to the church. More thar $50
in all.
Another thing making it a notable
day was the visit o. Mr.. Archibald
Johnson, of ~Thomasville, editor OF
Charity and Children. It was his first
visit to the school, and he received
a welcome that gladened giver and
receiver. His statement of condition
and the work at the o~rphanage was
never quite SO we'll told as at this time,
and the stirring of his heart stirred
other hearts.
No man in our State has done a
better work for the o~rphanage work
than Mr.. Johnson, and he was at his
best here.
hi collection has hardly ever been
surpassed in our State, conditions con-
sidered. The congregation was COM
posed almost entirely Of students, with
a few of our citizens. not one of whom
handles much money.
The highest Offering was Sl0.50, and
only thai high. but the offering
amounted to $3.50. 1t was a surprise
to everybody and the glad and joyous
giving made 'PraiSe God From Whom
All Blessings Flow" ring with new
meaning.
No bali game, no hunting for Buie's
Creek folks, while such services as
these can take the place of the brutal
bell games.
The house was crowded and the
greates giving gladdened every heart
The enrolment for the year has
passed the 400 mark and it now looks
like We shall pass the 500 mark this
year. About $50. 900 brick have been
made, and the wor on the new dor-
mitory and new church viii be pushed
in the spring.

Six Things to Do for the Ba by.

CD Remember that a mother
must be trained to knoac, not to
guess.
(2) Secure a reliable book upt n
the care and feeding of infants and
begin to study the first principles of
intelligent baby culture,
60 Remember that every year in
calculable damage is done to the
eyes Of babies where mothers have
not thought to protect them from
the glare of the sun.
(4) Let the baby have a bed to
himself, ,if it be only clothes basket,
or a clean, dry, wash tub or dry
goods box. Have the mattress firm
and soft and the cover warm but
light.
(5) Avoid soothing syrups and
soothing teas" Keep in mind that
so-called soothing syrups advertised
as harmless all contain morphine,
opium, cocaine or other harmful
drugs in dangerous quantities.
(6) Remember that the baby is
the most important thing in your life
and don't neglect him in any way for
anything else. Mrs F L Stevens, in
Raleigh On c. Progressive Farmer
and Gazette.

State Campaign Pointers.

The State campaign opened last
Wednesday, June %, at Sumter.
The six candidates for Governor
are: G l. Blease, John T Duncan,
&C Featherstone, F H Hyatt, T G
Mcleod and J G Richards. The
paramount issue as it has been
for years, still seems to be the liq-
uor question. Featherstone, Hyatt
and Richards have declared for
Statewide prohibition, Blease and
Mcleod for local option, while Dun
can seems to have no PRONOUNCED
views on the whiskcv problem.
The other candidl.,; are as fol-
lows:
Lieutenant Governor-E w Duvall
of Cheraw and Chas A Smith of
Timmonsville.
Attorney General-J F Lyon of
Abbeville and B B Evans of Column
bia.
Adjutant General-Capt J NJ
Richardson of Charleston, Maj Chas
Newnham of Columbia and Col w
W Moore of Barnwell.
For Railroad Commissioners
C Scarborough Of Summerton, Nc
Duffie Hampton of Columbia, G H
Mahon of Greenville, ,and last, but by
no means least,t the only and original
'Cansler of Tirzah," (the home of
this combination we believe is York
county-or maybe it's Lancaster)
They say Cansler wears his same
dinky little cap, only this year it is
embellished with "Cansler of Tir-
zah" sewed across the visor in inch
high letters.
State Treasurer R H Jennings,
Comptroller General A w Jones,
Secretary of State r NJ McCown
and Superintendent of Education j

express it.

let them be until they meet their ap-
pointment here Friday, July 20, ac-
to the schedule.
