Your correspondent has been ae-

every Monday morning to The Ad-
yertiser with the stereotyped phrase
Parksyille had a great day yestey-
day." We'll, we may be guilty of
using that expression very frequent
ly, and tits always true, but es-
pecially dol want to emphasize the
fact that yesterday was very great
day with us. The sun came out,
brighter after having hidden his
face for season; ushering in day,
freighted with good things for
those that had ears to hear" I'm
fortunately many are blind and
ieaf, as in the days of the Saviour,
who having eyes see not and having
ears hear not, for whom we have
the profoundest pity, but to those
who can see and hear, yesterday was
laden with thoughts producing re-
Elections.
First came the address of Miss
Roena Shaner, the representative of
the w. G. T. u. which is the butt
of ridicule bv blantant demagogues.
But Mr.. Demagogue, hear her, hear
her for her cause, and you will
hang your head in shame, that yosG

down with Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob and with all the redeemed,
who have come through great
tribulations without money or hon
orr and who Lave washed their
robes and made them white in the
blood of the Lamb" The men of
Parksville say, God bless Miss Sha-
ner. After Miss Shaner's excellent
address came the sermon of the
Rev. Mr.. Machen recentl5 of
Fountain Inn, but now of Green
wood, on "The cross of Christ" }"
The cross is the measure of mans
needs and is the measure of Gods
love. and brings God and man to-
gether. What a wonderful sermon,
what blessed thoughts; man REQ
oncilel to God,in tune with the In
finite" Mr.. Machen is young maa
of fine personal appearance, and
sweet face, if such an expression is
applicable to man, and is a good
preacher.
1t was announced at the close of
this service that presiding elder w.
P. Meadows of Cokesbury district
would preach in the Methodist
church at 4 o'clock but not being
able to be present the pastor Bro.
Covington preached most pract-
cal sermon on the conversion of the
jailor. At night the B. Y. P. u
was we'll attended, and one of the
best speeches we have heard in .
long time was made by Bro. L. G.
Talbert on standing for something
in the world. So you see we had .
great day.
Col. w. J. Talbert in introducing.
Miss Shaner in the morning, made
one of the most eloquent speeches
commendatory of the great work
our women are doing through the
w. G. 7. U. for the length of it,
we ever heard.

supervisor Spearman of Anderson
has had 25 split-log-drags made for
the use of the farmers in Anderson
county to be distributed to the best
advantage. Of course the farmers

our farmers one hundred dollars COW

fer same to the county supervisor
with the request that the work need
ed be done at once:
We find the condition of the Jail
building bad physically. We re-
quest lst, That new window silis be
put in as the old sills are rotten and
render the jail insecure for prison
ers. 2nd, That latches be provided
and placed on all the doors and
shutters and blinds of the jail. 3rd,
That fire escapes be provided in the
Jail, as the only exit now, provided
in the jail opens in the cooking
room where fire would probably
originate. These fire escapes to the
halls would cost but little and have
been asked for several years without
any heed from our supervisor. 4th
That substantial fences be provided
around the jail yard. The present
fences are down several places. and
speak careless care of the coun-i
ty property and grounds. 9th, That
terraces be built, to prevent the

we find the Jail vel kept BY the

We further recommend that the

court house where broken out. Your
jury have felt the sad need of this
at the present term of court.
Upon complaint being made to
US we present the name of J. G.
Mobley, magistrate, at Johnston, S.

in Office, the charge being that he
failed and refused to have executed

the parties having these warrants
issued and placed in his hands, J.

Upon complaint we also present
the name of J. G. Mobley, magis-
trate, at Johnston, S. c., for NAL
feasance in office for attempting to
interfere with the municipal courts
of Johnston, and using his legal au-
thority as magistrate in an illegal
process and manner to thwart the
actions of said municipal court.
We name J..D. BARLEY, Mayor, w.
E. Meyer, ]. II. Swearingen, chief
of police, A. P. Lott and Hamp

case.
We desire to return thanks to His
Honor, Judge Prince and Solicitor

of the court for assistance and cour-
tesies extended to us at this term of
court.

cattle can be bought cheaper in July

the poorest time to sell cattle'is in the

range cattle, but is very much so on
our high-priced lands. Cattle bought
now, weight, say, one thousand pounds,
and fed grain or grass all summer,
may pay out, but the ordinary run of
stockers offered on the markets today,
weighing from five hundred to six hum
dred pounds, will, I'M. the fall, not be
heavy enough for feeders. [.

siderable figuring to see how these
