New Sect Causes Much Confus-
ion in Macon Church.

Macon, Ca, Dec. l7.-(Special.)
The congregation of the select First
Presbyterian church is tonight
aghast over the demonstrations
made at the morning service today
by the local sect of "Holy Rollers, %
who comprise some of the best
known women and men of Macon.
A meeting of the sliers will prob
ably be held this week to take ac-
tion so as to prevent the Holy
Rollers" from ever attending the
Presbyterian church again.
This morning the demonstration
was violently vociferous and sensa-
tionat, and the entire congregation
was so excited that that the audi
ence dispersed precipitately, imme-
diately following the last prayer,
and numerous of the women went
away in Mysteries.
The Holy Rollers" mumbled,
shouted, swayed, moaned and ges-
ticulated all during the service, and
toward the end Mrs. Minnie Scott,
her neice, Miss Davis, and the 9th
ers began to shrek, beta themselves
and give vent to frantic manifesto
tions.
Elder John J. MacKay, the pas
tor and others sought to quiet them,
so as to restore order again among
the congregation, who were excited
ly filing out of church. Finally the
Holy Rollers" were induced to en-
ter their carriages, but as they
moved away they continued to
shrek, causing crowds to gather
along the sidewalks.
Professor J. R. Mosely, who re-
Gently forsook the Christian Science
religion to become Holy Roller" :"
says that he and his associates will
SO to another church next Sunday.

PLUM BRANCH NEWS.
Auction Sale of Real Estate.
Good Ginnery Season. High
School Has Closed For
Holidays.

The auction sale of real estate
came off on the 7th inst, and the
lots were in demand and brought
fair prices. 1t was well attended,
and our school took a. recess that
teachers and pupils might enjoy the
novelty of a sale.
The ginnery still gives forth her
monotonous song, but seventeen
hundred bales of cotton already
ginned tells that the song is worth
enduring.
Another new family comes into
our community, that of Mr.. Thorn.
as Quarles. We are always glad to
welcome new families into our
midst.
We regret to lose Mr.. ]. B. Tim
norman from our community. He
has sold his farm and moves to
Greenwood next week.
The new pastor of the Methodist
church, Rev. Mr.. Coyington, preach
ed for his people here Sunday
morning.
Rev. J. W. Guy of Spartarburg
is to lecture in the Baptist church
on the night of the goth on the
subject, "Hit, fit and stick" An ad-
mission fee will be charged in the
interest of the Sunday school.
Mr.. James Britt of Cormick
was in town on the 18th.
Mr. n. L. Broadwater visited his
daughter, Mrs. T. E. Cochran last

DR.. T. L. Zimmerman of Lau-

The Plum Branch high school
closed It's doors on the 18th until
January srd for the Christmas holi-
days. The familiar sound Of the
bell and CHEEKY shouts of children
are missed, but all seem to be ex-
spaet,ng a visit from Santa Claus.
Prof. N. Fl. Fender, after brief
visit to Lowndesyille, will go to his
home at Bamberg to spend the holi-
days. Miss Elloree Anderson of the
primary department left Saturday
morning for her home at Woodruff,
where she will spend Christmas,
and Miss Mae Roper of the inter-
mediate department left just few
hours later to spend her vacation
with her parents in Edgefeld. The
latter was accompanied as far as
Augusta by Mrs. H. Parks.

Winter Care of the Machinery.

One of the first things to do
when you buy wagon, buggy or
other vehicle, or when you invest
your hard earned cash in farm ma
chinery is to prepare a shelter for it
where it will not be exposed to the
weather. But building sheds and
houses for tools and machinery will
not save the machinery at all, if
through carelessness or neglect it is
not put away after using. The shed
may be large and dry, but it cannot
keep the rain off of a tool that is
not put in it. And this is where we
have noticed the greatest neglect.
1t was not because there was no
place to put things away, but be-
cause they didn't have time" to
attend to it. The South would
save thousands of dollars every year
by attending to this one item. And
then it gives a farm SO much better
appearance to see the tools stored
away free from rust and with the.
paint bright Oh them instead of sit
ting outdoors rotting and adverris-
ing their owner as poor manager.
If you haven't put yours away, then
get at it now, and make habit OF
having a place for your tools and
then keeping them in it when they
are not in use.-Progressive Farm

A Kiss in the Dark.

A distinguished novelist recently
found himself travelling in a train
with two very talkative women.
Having recognized him from his
published portraits they opened
fire upon him in regard to his nov
els, praising them in a manner which
was unendurable to the sensitive
author.
Presently the train entered a
tunnel, and in the darkness the nov
elist lips and kissed it soundly.
When light returned he found the
two women regarding one another
in silence.
Addressing them with great suav-
ity, he said: "Ah, ladies, the one
regret of my life will be that I
shall never know which one of you
it was that kissed mel"

School Girr Writes From
White Town, Gives Honor

Mr.. Editor: Here comes school
girl who will give you few items
from White Town.
Most of the farmers in this sec
ton have about finished picking
cotton and have sown some grain,
though not half as much as they
had last year.
The ginnery of Messrs. White &
Ridlehoover has done a fourishing
business this fall, having ginned
about six hundred bales.
Messrs. Joe Ridlehoover and John
Coleman will move to Plum Branch
soon.
} Mr.. Luther Whites neg resi-
dence is about completed aud ready
for occupancy.
Mr.. Rearden will occupy the
house made vacant by Mr.. White
Mr.. w. R. Holiday had the
misfortune to lose his store and
contents by fire last Wednesday
night. Mr.. Holiday has the symps-
thy of the entire community as he
carried no insurance.
Now, last but not least, comes
our school. We have enrolled thir-
ty-four pupils; this being scarcely
half our number. The others have
been busy gathering the crops and
will begin the first of January.
Miss Carrie Talbert is our teach
er. She is a splendid teacher, and
we all love her. Miss Lucy Brown
of Nc cCormick is the assistant. She
will begin the first of January.
Our teacher appoints a censor each
week, who records all grammatical
errors made by pupils, and the crit.
ic reads this report before the
school every Friday afternoon. You
see this makes us more careful
about our English. Even tpe small
est children are constantly correct
ing US. We find it very improving.

roll of our school for the past
month:
First grade: Bennie Ridlehoover

Visitor" Writes of Jubilee
Celebration.

Editor The Advertiser With a
full enjoyment of the jubilee meet
ing in it's different phases of the
work, it is not altogether to this
meeting we wish to make reference,
wishing rather to extend to the
good people of dear old Edgefeld
God speed in their spiritual awak-
ening.
To the writer there appears most
assuredfy to be dawning of spirit
uality among the people of the
different denominations which con-
stitute the town. We are not only
thankful for this assurance which
is for the betterment o f our cause,
but we are proud to be one of them
again, though not of the town, but
of the Edge6eld association. During
our period of absence from them,
it was with great pleasure we en-
deavored to keep up with the work
of this association.
With reference to the jubilee
we can not with a good conscience
say we enjoyed one service more
than another. 1t was all good but
in meditation these thoughts have
occurred to our mind. Those who
prefer to work for home and state
missions, have had some most e1-
cellent suggestions mapped out to
them, by which they may manifest
their particular interest.
One feature most impressive to
us was the earnest pleading of our
missionaries for help that lies in
reach of US all. That was empha-
sized, and can't we all pray? If we
can't, surely we know the reason.
But when we hear one say they be-
lieve only in state and home mis-
sions, we doubt there being very
much sincere and prayerful con-
sideration about the matter any
way.
Well back to the people in Edge
field. Not alone, for the reason above
stated, do we wish to speak, but of
their hospitality as well. It is
thoughtful, kind and unselfish,
abounding in generosity.
The Baptists at Edgefeld claim
among their leaders to-day, some
noble efficient workers, whose state
ly and magnificent homes were
thrown open to the representatives
to the jubilee.
With modesty and unselfshness
we mention Mr.. and Mrs. J. L.
Minis who are so congenially yoked,
giving much of their time and
means to prayerful consideration of
the cause of Christ and upbuilding
of their fellowman, endeavoring to
place them, in the language of the
song, "On higher ground.'
Doubtless the outlook among the
Baptists is largely due to the faith
fulness of such members as Mr..
and Mrs. r. H. Minis. Their faith
fulness is worthy of consideration.
In conversation, Mrs. R. II. Minis
said she and her husband each day
lived in gratitude to God for the
continuance of life, and for their
children. This thought occurred to
us; How many parents were prais.
ing God for their existence and for
their children and how many chill
dren were living such lives that
their parents might say the same?
The aged deserve our attention
and we not only fall short of duty,
but lose in politeness should they
receive neglect at our hands.
We hope to see more about the
meeting through the papers. Wish
ing pleasant Christmas to the
readers and the staff of your paper
/ say goodbye.
