This village seemed to be the hub of the wheel last Thursday. There certainly was something doing. Near ly fifteen hundred pounds of turkey were distributed by Gardiner Hall,
 Jr. Perhaps that serve as one tie that binds. We are in a position to say that those who feasted on turkey
 that day in this vicinity are not un- midful of the gifts nor unappreciative of the kind spirit that prompted the giving. We have been asked by several to be sure and say in The Press that they wish MT. and Mrs.
 Hall to know that they appreciated their kindness. In Memorial church at the conventional hour of two o'clock were gathered MT. and Mrs.
 Gardiner Hall, Jr., their immediate family and relatives, numbering about
 75 presons. A short address of well come was given by Col. W. H. Hall ill behalf of MT. and Mrs. G. Hall, to which Richard Ellis of Stafford
 Springs replied, saying that he was sure that he spoke for all guests pres ent in expressing his pleasure in his good fortune in being present on such a happy occasion. As a souvenir of the occasion two original poems by Mrs. Sarah H. Palmer, who formerly lived here with Mrs. Halls mother, Mrs. Ann Penny Parker, and by Mrs. Annie A. Preston, were bound in bookelt form and a copy given to each guest present When it first became known that MT. and Mrs. Hall were to have a golden celebration steps were at once taken to procure a loving cup to be presented them at the cele- bration by the employees. The re- sponse was hearty and generous and the cup, suitably inscribed and accom- panied with boquet of 50 carnations, was at the banquet. The presentation was made by Robert T. Jones, son-in- law of the celebrants MT. Jones, in short speech, referred to the fact that MT. Hall in reality started ill business for himself in 1862, in the month of June; in the month of Mo- vember occurred the wedding. The business and social life is represented again in the loving cup from the em- ployes on the occasion of the wedding celebration. The day following the cup was placed in case in the store to allow any who wished to see it, and resting against it was card con- Veying words of appreciation from MT. and Mrs. Hall. On Thursday evening the townspeople were invited to enjoy the dessert that went with the turkey, in the form of a concert in Memorial church, as announced in this column last week. It was a highly pleasing combination, and it is more than likely that MT. and Mrs. Hall will never know Just how much it was appreciated. It is compara-

Admires Pastor Russolpo Book.

Atlanta Constttution:-Bill Arp, the
Southern Philosopher" wrote the fol
lowing review Of 1.-The Divine Plan Of
the Ages" some time before he died:
"It is impossible to read this book
without loving the writer and ponder
ing his wonderful solution Of the great
mysteries that have troubled us all
our lives. There is hardly a family to
be found that has not lost some loved
one who died outside the church-out-
side the plan Of salvation, and, If Cal
vinism be true, outside Of all hope and
inside Of eternal torment and despair.
We smother our feelings and turn
away from the horrible picture. We
dare not deny the faith Of our fathers,
and yet can it be possible that the
good mother and the wandering child
are forever separated ?-forever and
forever?
81 believe it is the rigidity Of these
teachings that makes atheists and inf
dels and skeptics-makes Christians
unhappy and brings their gray hairs
down in sorrow to the grave-a lost
child, lost soul.
'"This wonderful book makes no as
sertions that are not we'll sustained by
the Scriptures. 1t is built up stone by
stone, and upon every stone is the
text, and it becomes a pyramid Of
Gods love, and mercy, and wisdom.
There is nothing in the Bible that
the author denies or doubts, but there
are many texts that he throws food
Of light upon that seems to remove
from them the dark and gloomy mean
ing. see that editors Of leading jour
nails and many orthodox minister's OF
different denominations have endorsed
it and have confessed to this new ard
comforting light that has daWned
upon the Interpretation Of Gods Book,
Then let every man read and ponder
and take comfort, for we are all pris-
oners Of hope. This is an age Of ad-
7anced thought and more thinking Is
done than ever before-men dare to
think now. Light-more lights the
watchword.'

read as atty for the commission ard
asking the commission to submit to
him for approval the name of any
attorney the commission proposed
to employ. The atty gen. had seen
in the newspaper that the commits
sion had employed counsel and he
stated that this had been done con-
trary to his advice and without his
endorsements.
To this letter the Stackhouse
commission had replied and the re-
ply was read. In this the comm.
had told the attorney general that
owing to his unfriendiness to the
commission, the commission had
deemed it wise to employ an attor-
ney without his advice. In this let
ter it was charged that Mr.. Lyon
was partisan to T. B. Fielder and
he could not berelied upon to pro-
Esecute Fielder in connection with the
dispensary affairs. The commission
had employed Mr.. Holman. The
reply of Attorney General Lyon to
this letter was also read, in which
the attorney general offered to
have submitted to the supreme court
the question as to the commissions
power to employ counsel without
his consent.
Mr.. Stackhouse testified that his
commission considered the disposi-
ton by the Ansel commission of the
alcohol on hand at the dispensary
when the Ansel board took charge
to be proper.
Asked why the Blease commission
had not wound up the case of the
Richland Distilling company as pro-
posed before the Ansel board, he
said the Anse1 board had secured
$34,7o6 from that company and
that the Blease board had secured
the property of the company. valued
at about SIS, 1000, and 5000 in cash
making up practically 500, 900 that
the company had agreed to give in
settlement of its case.
Mr.. Stackhouse said he had heard
it said many times that Mr.. James
Farnum had paid more than his
fine for the settlement of his case.
EDITOR ON STAND.
Mr.. H. D. Rantin Of Clinton, fol-
merly editor of the Fairfield News
of Ridgeway was the next witness.
An editorial was published in the
Fairfield News during his editor
ship, in which it was stated that
James Fanum had paid $50, 900 for
immunity, only $1,000 of which
had reached the State treasurer.
Mr.. Rant.n was asked if he wrote
the editorial and where he got his,
information. He said he had written
an editoirl several years to that ef
feet and that he had gotten his it
formation from Senator w. ].
Johnson Of Fairfield county. Mr..
Rantin had also written, on the
same authority, he said, that seven
indictments against Farnum had
been wiped out.
Testimoney recently given by
Senator Johnson was to the effect
that he knew nothing of the ed
itoria1 in question or of Farnum S
paying money for immunity. TIE
committee is in session "Wednesday
