We parents have very much to do
with the salvation OF our children.

gospels we read that parents brought
their children to Christ. they did not

do the same.
In the third place we can preach

about their sin and about the Saviour

can urge them 10 confess Christ and
pray for them. and better yet pray

Smoker to Congressman Byrnes.

A few of the warm personal friends
of Congressman Jas. F. Byrnes in
this city gave a smoker in his honor
at the Mayflower Inn Tuesday even
ing of this week, at which Solicitor
R. l.. Gunter and Court Stenographer
Edgar A. Brown were also guests.
The Mayflower management fully
sustained the high reputation of this
up-to-date hostelry in the menu
served, to which all present did full
justice. No set speeches were indul-
ged in, but the evening was most
delightful one in every way. With
story and jest those present made
merry until a late hour. "Jimmi.
Byrnes is always welcome in Bam-
berg, where everybody is his friend,
and it was a great pleasure for them
to have him with them on this oc-

that he will have any opposition for
reelection next year, but should he
have, his opponent cannot count on
many votes in Bamberg, for Jim

his job and Bamberg voters want to

TWO MEN FIGHT OVER WHISKEY
Ross Yongue, of Chester, May Die
as Result of Wounds Received.

Chester, Nov. S.-Ross Yongue is
at the point of death at the Magda-
lene Hospital in this city from the
effect of wounds said to have been
inflicted upon him late yesterday af-
ternoon by Ed Sibley. The difficulty
occurred in the Stover neighborhood
and the weapon used was an axe.
Two terrific wounds through the
skull, penetrating the brain, another
across the left eye and entering the
brain cavity, and fourth laying open
the cheek, render Yongue's chances
of recovery almost hopeless. 1t is
difficult to get hold of the details
further than the fight grew out OF
trouble about whiskey which Yongue
was to bring back from Great Falls
for Sibley and is said to have failed
to deliver. Both men are whites and
are we'll known in the community
where they reside.

Home Mission News.

The collections for the week OF
prayer this year are to go toward
building the Lucinda Helm Chapel
at London, KY, and the enlargement
of Bruce Hall. at Ruth Hargrove In
stitute, Key West, Fla. We must re-
member that the Chapel at London,
KY, must be built because there is
NO room or building where the whole
school can be gathered at chapel SER
vice, also that students are being
turned away at Key West because
there is not class room capacity for
all who come. God has given us this
opportunity to help h give the
life more abundant to the young
people of the mountains and low
lands.
The Bamberg Auxiliary will an
nounce later, the time for the observ-
ance of the week of prayer. The
president requests that the members
cooperate in making this spiritual
blessing to ourselves, and blessing
to the needy ones.
The Home Mission Society will
hold it's regular monthly meeting
next Tuesday afternoon at o'clock,
in the ladies' parlor, Methodist
church.

DICKINSON SYSTEM
IS BADLY CRIPPLED

4 DICKINSON, N D., Jan. 1S. The city
has been badly crippled for some months
in it's free delivery service-in fact,
since Carrier Hopkins left in the fall,
leaving but two, Il. r.. Crawford and
Bert Taylor, carriers. To make matters
worse, Carrier II. r.. Crawford was COM
PEELED over a week ago to give up work
for few days on account Of the con1i-
ton of his feet. The holiday work had
been very hard for him and when the
parcels post service was adopted he gave
out. Postmaster Lawrence telegraphed
to Washington for help and was author
lied to put on substitutes, in which ca
pacity Ed. Lennevlle, just back from
Oregon, has been working the past week.
The city must have at least three car
riers in order to get any kind OF free
delivery service. AS it has beep for a
while back 1t would be better without
delivery In fact, some Is or 30 persons
have applied recently at the office for
boxes, preferring to get their own mail
after the arrival Of trains, as the free
delivery is often 1o to IS hours late.
