Since my opponents could in
truth point only to one vote in

yond criticism. I am deeply
grateful to those who are is ac-

vote and I am no less grateful
to those who disagreeing with
me have neverthele recognized
my right of opinion on a non
partisan question and have gen

scarcely add that / return to my

Orphan Work Day
September 10Th

Our people haye become fam
illar with the meaning Of the
words Orphan Work Day. They
mean simply this, that there are
in our orphan institutions a
great number Of fatherless chill
dren, dependent upon the loving
care of the Christian people in
this state. AS the only means
of their support is from the
voluntary gifts of generous men,
women and youth. it may very
well happen and it does happen,
that the supplies for the support
of these thousands Of orphans,
run short at the end of the sum-
mer, and immediate relief is
needed. And hence the inven-
tive mind of a jealous Georgia
Methodist preacher made the
suggestion that on the last Sat-
urday of September, which is
the 26th day of this month, our
people proceed diligently to work
as usual and that they divide the
proceeds of that days work or
their regular income for that
day, to the support Of such a
one of our orphan institutions
as appeals to them.
There are in South Carolina,
the Thornwell Orphanage at
Clinton, the Connie Maxwell
Orphanage at Greenwood, the
Epworth Orphanage at Colum-
bia, each with about 800 pupils
in charge, (and every one Of
them in need of prompt assist
ance); then there is the Church
Home at Yorkyille>with about
100 pupils in all more than a
thousand children. Thechurches
and Sabbath Schools of the
various denominations should
vie with each other in seeing
who will do the best for their
orphans. Gifts from individuals
can be sent at once or later; the
gifts from Churches and Sun
day Schools Immediately after
the 9th day of September when
the collections will be taken up.
Send to the institution of your
choice.

Last Sunday afternoon, Sept.
l3, at 3 o'clock at the home of
her sister, Mrs. W. M. Stansell,
209 Frank street, Greenville, the
marriage of Miss Fay Christie
pher and Mr.. Thomas Hinton
was solemnHed; Rev. w. M.
Owings officiating.
While this was a very simple
and quiet wedding, it was also
a very pretty one. There were
ferns and cut flowers arranged
tastefully around the room, and
the bride, who is a most attract
i've young lady, was beautifully
gowned in white silk crepe, with
hat, gloves and shoes to match.
She is possessed Of many splen-
did qualities and is a fine mu-
sician. She is a daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs: NJ. M. Christopher
of Plckens county. Her father,
as we'll as the groom's father, is
a prosperous farmer in that
county.
Mr>and Mrs, H, left Monday on
No. for the home of the brides
parents for a short visit, after
which they will return to Green
vile and be at home to their
friends at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Stansell.
Mr.. Hinton is a young man Of
promise and sterling character
and has been successfully en-
gagged in farming in his home
county for several years. *

We must say it makes US
tired to read the many editorials
from the Northern press about
South Carolina Redeemed, :"
South Carolina Readmitted to
the JTnion," etc. We haven't
heed of anybody around here
asking those papers for either
sympathy Or congratulations
and we do not know in what
part of the state their remarks
are appreciated. P5ckens coun-
ty went for Blease and we know
there is not a better county in
this state, and we are willing
to wager that this county has a
larger per cent of honest, up
right and law-abiding citizens
than any county in all Yankee
do.a. There is no more the
matter with South Carolina
than any other state.

The Country Editor

The duties of a country editor
are numerous and varied. Peo-
pie who sometimes complain
that their little home weekly
does not contain as much news
as the more pretentious dailies
published in the cities overlook
the fact that dozens, and in
many cases, scores of men con-
tribute to the production Of the
larger papers, while all the work
on a weekly is sometimes done
by a single individual. Just
how numerous and yaried-a
the tasks of the latter is disclos-
ed by a paragraph in the latest
issue of the Glenwood Mo.)
Journal. In explaining that he
had changed the size and form
Of his paper so as to save time
in makeup, printing and hand
ling, the editor of the Journal
says; -.
For one person to gather the
news. set the type, makeup the
forms, print the paper, distri-
butte the type, do the job work,
collect the bills pay the. debts.
listen to kicker's, sweep the of
fee, kick the cat, carry in coal,
build the fires, and do a thous-
and and one things in the
course of a week is no little
matter, hence we have changed
the paper to a size that we can
issue to better advantage. -
In the face of this explanation
anyone objecting to the change
should be bored for the simples
and then taken out and shot at
sunrise.
