Knew the Calendar.

They were little girls, so small that
the teacher was telling them about di-
visions of time, and receiving all sorts
of answers to her simple questions.
The little girl who lived in board
ing house was year older than any
of the others.

vided into months, months into weeks.
and weeks into days." said the teach
er. Nov can any one tell me how
the days are divided?'
The little girl who lived in a board

asked to speak.

and Thursdays, beef" she said, glibly;
Friday, fish: Saturday, corned beef
and beans; and Sunday, chicken. -

"The Methodists Of AbbeviIIe."

During the Methodist Conference at Alb

readable pamphlet on THE Methodists Of
Abbeville." It also contained q sketch OF
the educational work Of Abbeville County,
Cuts Of Erskine and Of the Woman's Col.
lege of Due West and Of Carnegie Hall
were printed with a short history OF these
institutions.-A. R. Presbyterian.
We are very much obliged to u friend,
Mr.. Galloway, for seeing that we made any
notice at all Of Due West. He, however,
surely did not look well. According to our
count, we had about four pages of reading
matter and two pages of cuts about the
Due West Colleges, while we had no cuts OF
either of Abbeville's fine school houses
and only a mere mention Of them in the
reading matter. We were giving our Due
West friends the place of honor, after the
Methodists, Of course.
We thank our friend for thinking it was
readable" 1t gives US O chance to &C.
knowledge that q great many persons
have spoken very pleasantly Of the book
which was printed without fee or hope Of
reward. A simple unkindly expression by
a woman is the only exception. She said
she burnt it without reading it. That was
her loss, which has not worried US in the
least.

New and BETTER EQUIPMENT

Now, as acid Phosphate is the base OF
all orr fertilizers it must be dry and in
good condition. Our drying equip
ment Tor hot bins) which we Installed
recently, cannot he eXcelled for the
purpose. Now, as We stated above,
acid Phosphate is the base of all our
fertilizers and the bulk which we build
on. We put it through an additional
second mixer Of the most approved
type where we add the potash and am
monlates from a number of sources.
combining MINERAL, ANIMAL and
VEGETABLE ammonia in such pro-
portions that will give best results
throughout the season. We then store
the completely made fertilizer in our
stock house in bulks where all the in
gradients used in its manufacture can
thoroughly assimilate with each other
and permeate the entire mass. Now,
We don't bag these goods until they
are shipped. UNSURING LONGER
BAG SERVICE.) When orders are
received we remove fertilizer from
bulk and pass it through d smitherine
and bagging machine which again
mixes the. bulk the third time and
thoroughly pulverizes and puts this
material in the best mechanical condi-
ton possible. Our equipment is COM
plete in every detail and fertilizers
made in the above manner and with
very close supervision will give the
best results.

CONTRIBUTED
PLAN DEBATE ON MISSIONS.
Tom Watson Challenged to Meet W. 7
Ellis, Of Philadelphia.

Atlanta, Ca, January 1. Thomas E.
Watson, one time candidate for the Pr9si.
dency, and recently q critic in the public
print of foreign missions, to-day was
challenged to public debate by represen-
tatives of the various Protestant churches
Of Georgia. The challengers want the
debate to he held in Atlanta, January IA,
and have named as Watson's opponent
VIM. Il. Ellis, a Philadelphia newspaper
man.-News and Courier.
AS we understand, there can be no di-
vision Of sentiment on missions. All
must admit that, there is no harm in mis-.
sions itself. The only question about the
matter is, should money be raised fol-
missions by fraud, or by deceiving the
contributors. Except that the end, 1.-THE
giving Of good jobs to our favorites or to
other lucky persons iustilies the means
there can be justification for one Of the
most stupendous frauds that was ever
palmed off upon the American people.
Every reasonably intelligent man in this
country knows that the church has been
taking up collections for missionaries for
a hundred years. If anybody knows, (of
a %truth-not of vain or foolish imaginingsl
where any good has resulted to any
heathern, let him thrust out the facts.
If any body knows of a more plain or a
more palpable cheat or fraud, than that
of missions, let him speak out.
If any body knows of a scheme whereby
poor and contiding christians have been
hoodwinked out of more money than
under plea Of missions, it would be in
tercsting to know of it. /
Does any body know where a single dol
lar of the millions that has been given to
missions has done any other good than to
give good fat jobs to the good men who
have received the money with which to
pay themselves or to hire temporary con-
verts?
Is the whole missionary business a plain,
unblushing cheat, or al it be an uncon-
sciousable fraud?

We have equipped our fertilizer
plant in the best possible name and
with the most modern and np-to-date
machinery for crushing, grinding and
mixing fertilizers of all grades. Our
grinding and mixing equipment es!ec-
tally, is of much greater capacity than
a plant of this size requires, We made
it so for very important reasons. Now
this is the main point we wish to dis
cuss with you. By having this re-
served capacity we do not have to push
our machinery to such au extent that
it will not do good work. OVER
LOADED. OR OVER WORKED MA
CHINERY WILL NOT DO GOOD
WORK. Take your cotton and corn
for instance. if you gin your cotton
too fast or over work the GIN what will
be the result Mapped cotton, short
lint, poor sample, low price. If you
grind your corn too fast what is the re-
suit? Everybody knows the meal
will be poor if you overwork the mill.
1t is Just the same way in manufacture
ing fertilizers. Therefore it is Of the
greatest importance that we have the
best machinery and of greater capacity
than we need. The result is now, that
we can do the best quality of milling
possible. The grinding of Phosphate
Rock and its thorough acidulation is
very essential in making acid Phos.
plate in the most available form.

Dr.. Sloan.

Rev. T. W. Sloan, D. D., of Greenville,
made a pop call at Abbeville last Tuesday
evening, staying but a night. DR.. Sloan
is one of the ablest and one of the most
beloved preachers in the State. For a
time hewas pastor Of the A. r. P. Church
in Abbeville, and he had the love and es-
teen Of his people. Some seven or eight
years ago he was called to the pastorate
OF the Presbyterian Chuch in Greenville,
where reports say that he has been o
derfully successful in strcngthing that
church. But he would not himself, speak
of his work. In Dr.. Sloan's church, Mr.
Thomas +. COthran, formerly Of this town
is deacon, and DR.. Sloan spoke in no un-
certain terms OF his admiration for
Mr.. Cothran He thinks Thomas is
the very salt of the earth, and one
of the pillars of the church. DR.. Sloan
spoke of Mr.. Cothran, presumably, because
all of us in Abbeville know Mr.. Cothran so
well.

Married, December 81, 1909, by Rev. Mr.,
Bass, Of the Baptist church, Mr.. George
Pressly Deason Of Mccormick, and Mrs
Seppie Woodward Of Ahbeville. The
bride and the groom have been in Able
vile for two or three days seeing hel
relatives, and they will now go to Georgia
to visit his kindred. The bride and the
groom are as happy as the youngest OF
married folk. Mr.. Deason is a farmer
and, in a few days he will install his bride
as queen of his home. If they continue to
be as happy as they are now they need
not care if the sun founders in the sea-,
and never. rises again. They are now rich
in the look of eaclr others eyes, but after
awhile they will be rich in heaps. of gold
from the sale of snowy cotton and the
resultant good from abundant crops OF
the weaving grain.
