Site For Baptist Church Selected

At a conference Sunday morning
the members of the Baptist church
decided by a unanimous vote to re-
build practically upon the site where
the former church stood, the new
building being located eight feet
further toward the south. Some
members of the church have favor
ed changing the location, preferrinG
lot on Main street chiefly because
of the very limited area of the old
site and the possibility Of the
adjoining property being owned at
some time in the future by persons
who would be unwilling for the
church the continue to use 1T as has
been done in the past. This objec-
ton to the old site was removed
by the action of the church in ac-
cepting an offer from Mr.. John l..
Addison and Miss Virginia Addi-
son, the owners of the adjoining
property, to lease indefinitely to the
church to use Of the property for
church purposes for the sum of
900. Because of the decision of
the church to improve or enlarge
the old site by accepting the propo-
sition made by the owners of the
adjacent property, all objections
were Withdrawn and it was agreed
without dissenting vote that the
location of the church be not chang
ed. The plans for the new building
have been accepted and as soon as
practicable the contract will be let
and the work will be pressed with
all possible dispatch.

News From Cleora.

Editor of the Advertiser:
After three weeks of fine weather
for gathering the crops, we had
hard rain Saturday night which
caught good deal of open cotton
in the fields. We have had unusually
fine weather for saving f, oder and
PEA hay, and farmers around here are
preparing 10 put in good big grain
crop this fall, but few have sown
any yet.
The Brunson school will begin
to. day (Monday the 2oth) with Miss
Jimmie McNinch from Hodges as
principal and Miss Carrie Collins of
LeesyiIle assistant. This is the 3rd
term that Miss Collins has taught
for US and given perfect satisfac-
ton, and will be Miss McNich's
first term with US.
There were mr sweet potatoes,
corn and molasSes made in this
neighborhood this year than has
been for a number of years. The cot
ton crop will be short, but we are
in hopes the price will, to some ex-
tent make up for I'll, short crop.
Some who got a stand early are
nearly through picking, while 9th
ers who were late in getting stand
are not half through.
Mr.. T. A. Williams who went to
the Hot Springs in N. G. some time
ago. has returned very much bene-
fitted. He had been suffering with
rheumatism for some time.
Mrs. w. T. Reel has been right
sick but is better.
Miss Berta Hill has accepted the
DeLaughter school for this term and
will begin teaching about Nov. lat.
Misses Alma and Grace Will
liams are teaching in Aiken county
again this year. Their schools began
in September.
Mr.. L. R. Brunson, Jr., and Mr..
Ossman Williams are running their
saw mills in the neighborAood of
Plum Branch, both having big con-
tracts.

would continue good 50 We could

this wet spell will knock US out.

Court and rep orted same.
The Committees appointed at the
beginning of the year from our
body made their reports to the Au,
gust Term of Court, and have
nothing further in a formal way to
say.
The Grand Jury feels that II
would be justice to compliment the
County Supervisor for the efforts he
has made to improve the highways
of our county, though he has not
done what is necessary to accom-,
plish everybody's demand for good
roads. We note that cooperation
of the citize.:s of our county with
the Supervisor in the matter of help
ing by voluntary contributions and
voluntary labor has begun for roads
and we heartily commend this be-
ginning. We would recommend
that the Supervisor continue to
arouse our citizens in every commu,
nifty to respond to th' spirit of CO.
operation in the matter OF road
working. We know that with the
present small force of convict labor
obtainable that our roads cannot be
kept in condition to compare with
the roads of other sections, and that
only through the cooperation OF
our citizens in this matter as volun.
teers can we approximate the desired
condition.

"And a Pint of Whiskey."
A. E. Padgett, Foreman

What world of meaning there
is in this one line, which occurs in
the newspaper report of the finding
of the dead body of young man
of Lexington county, few days
ago, who had either been murdered
or killed by railroad train-more
likely the former. Similar express
sions are often found in cases of
persons who die before their ,ime."
A man with a pint of whiskey" is
apt to be able to take care of him
self, whether the danger be from
railroad accidents or highway rob-
bers and things.
In the case referred to, it looks
like murder. But for the whiskey
the young man might be alive to-
day. Here is an extract from the
newspaper report:
Mr.. Lewis was last seen by
his roommate at IL o'clock
Saturday night. At that time
he had money on his person
and pint of whiskey, said to
be the same that was found on
his person by the coroner. His
money was gone. The upper
portion of5his head was crush-
ed: the brain having been spat- z
& tered op the ground nearby. A 20
deep, ioHg gas on the right
