SHOWER OF LETTERS.

Christmas is the glad season
when relatives and friends devise
ways of augmenting the JOY and
happiness of each other. AS Mr..
Robert II. Minis is the only surviy-
ing member of the older generation,
his niece, Miss Eliza r. Minis, of
Johnston, conceived the idea of
having him sshowered" with letters
and postals bearing tidings of good
wishes and affectionate greetings.
As a result of her suggestion, Mr..
Minis received nearly forty letters
and postals from relatives residing
in Johnston, Edgefeld, Augusta,
Charleston Savannah, New Orleans
and other places.
Having. enjoyed the privilege Of
reading these numerous letters and,
,postais, the writer felt that many
of Mr.. Minis friends would also

planter, and this is one of the stor-
les attributed to him:
Two negroes on Louisiana plan

with another Ethiopian who was
handy with a gun. The two started
to run about the time the bad man
began to shoot. The fleeing ones
had proceeded about a hundred
yards when the following dialogue

Expense Of Forming the New
q County.


The following dispatch concern
Ing the cost of the survey of the
new county was sent out from Ak
enseveral days ago:
The survey of the proposed
county of Hayward cost Aiken
county exactly sl,71s.75. A bill
was fled for this amount with the
county commissioners by the new
commission. It cost the county of
Edgefeld the sum of S7s7.25, max
inga total of $4,000 allowed by
law forsthe surveys for new coun-
ties. A great deal of dissatisfac-
.Stion has been expressed here be-
scause of the fact that the old coun-
ties have to pay for the survey of a
nswseounty. A measure has been
attempted in the legislature to re-
qnire new counties to pay these
bills for surveying themselves, but
! 80 SO far has met with defeat.
r-s.F r-ff is believed here that if an
election is held thenew county prop
osi;tion will be carried. At this
time there is a hold up in matters
because Of alleged irregularities at
Ellenton, where those opposed to
The scheme claim that the new coun-
sty line passes through the town
limits, which is not allowed by a
recent act as to new counties. The
petitions for election are now in the
hands of the governor.

HOLIDAYS AT TRENTON.
College Students Enjoy Stay at
Home. Merchants Report
Good Business. Farmers
Hopeful For New Year.

The holidays passed off very
quietly, but pleasantly. We have
not heard of any unpleasant news
whatever. The twenty-odd young
people of our community who are
attending college spent the holidays
at home. Most of them leave to-
day for their respective places.
The young people enjoyed parties of
various kinds while at home. We
heard of pound parties, candy pull
ings, Christmas trees, various kind
of entertainments, dances, balls,
fashionable dinings and the old
time country turkey dinners, but
lack of space forbids us from going
into details.
The merchants all report good
trade and business generally has
been bright. Some farmers did not
get quite through gathering, but we
take that to mean good crops. They
are going into the 1911 crop with
renewed energy. The large yields
on small areas have taught lessons
that have taken many life time to
learn.
Mrs. Ola Rennie and her two
bright little girls from Aiken spent
the Yule tide with the family of
Mr.. E. L. Ryan.
Mr.. Hamlin Etheredge, one of our
boys, but now member of the
Methodist conference stationed at
Columbia, was pleasant visitor in
the community.
Mrs. A. C. Penn is visiting her
daughters, Mrs. F. P. Bryan and

AS Gov Sheppard said, no one

for chureii al dance as Mrs. Minis:
Indeed, We doubt if her record for
faithful service has aparallel among
the Baptists of South Carolina
Notwithstanding the fact that she
resides three fourths of a mile from
the church and does not possess a
conveyance of any kind, she has
not, unless providentially kept away,
missed service in the Al years,
supplying music for the mid-week
prayer service as well as for the reg
ular Sunday morning and evening
services. Through heat and cold,
mud and rain, sleet and snow, she
has been unfaltering and unswerv-

it can be said of her, with unusual
emphasis, "Well done thou good
and faithful servant.
