on the social side as much as VIZ
think, for l notice our Savior attended
the social recreations of the people and
SO did his apostles, but they never un
dertook to worship God with instru.
mental music at any time. Gods
worship is something sacred. and oul
Holiness people should SO regard and
respect it. Try to honor God by sa-
cred and solemn worship, which no
instrumental entertainment can or ev-
er has done. These churches that have
no instruments of worship are spiritu-
ally better off than those who have,
and it iseasier to have a revival in a
church withouta choir than it is in
one with an up to date choir Only
last Sunday in one of our backwoods
places of worship the spirit and power
of God came upon the people in a
prayer meeting service, and there was
no organ or choir, but just congrega-
tional singing. while at some of our
up to date churches not an "Amen" is
heard or the word "Glory" is uttered.
Well. if have offended anyone I've
no apologies to make and if our Holi-
ness people want to follow in the foot
steps of Saul, the first King of Israel,
and die and go to hell for worship
ping God in an unbalIowed way l
can't help it. There is nothing holy
or sacred in instrumental music in the
solemn assembly of the church. Pray
over the matter and get back to the
old paths.

TAUGHT 'EM
To RATTLE DIXIE"
Big Snake Yarn Out on Sequa-
chez Man.

b. Baker, a woodsman of this place
is a great rattlesnake collector. HI
started in the early spring to collect
ing the spilal singers, and his early
effort was rewarded with fine 13-rat
tie sreeimen. The snake took liking
to Baker and after hearing him whis-
tie Dixie" few times could rattle
out the tune perfectly, on its rattles,
of course. Baker kept his pet confn-
ed in an enclosure in the rear of his
home. and did not allow it to go out
in the neighborhood unless it was hob
bled. In the coulse of time assisted
by Eldridge Robertson, another woods
man, he had collected three or four
more snakes. Two or three mornings
after Baker added the last one to his
collection he heard tremendous rack
ct in the back yard. He hastily got up
and taking a careful look in the di-
rection of the fuss, saw all the snakes
springing their rattles into the grand
old tune of "Dixie." The first one
put in captivity had taught the others
the trick.
Baker thought good deal Of his
snakes, and had lots of fun with them.
Frequently he would hang them on
his bedpost and let them sing him to
sleep. His wife was little nervous
over this, but soon got used to it, and
when the baby was very intractable,
got rattler for it to play with.
One night all the rattlers except one
escaped. Baker asked the one re-
naming where the others had gone,
but the only answer he got was sly
wink and hippity hop rattle. Fin
ally some men in lumber yard near
by discovered a rattler measuring lum-
Der and killed it, 1t proved to be one
of Bakers pets. for ere it passed to
snake heaven, it gave bar of Dix

.MUTT s. JEFF CUT PRICES

Mr.. A. B. Cheatham, manager of the
Opera House, requests us to call the at.
tention of the theatre-goers to the fact
that the prices which will prevail at the
opening attraction of the season, Mutt

that this popular musical comedy has
ever played to. In the original contract
with the New York management 1t was
agreed that large number of seats
would be sold for the standard price OF
81. so, but Mr.. Cheatham, realizing thai
the conditions at presnet would not
warrant the highest prices, insisted that
as few seats as possible be sold for LOO
AS result of Mr.. Cheatham's efforts,
the entire lower floor, with the exception
of the first three rows of seats, will be
placed on sale for the low price OF $l.Oo
!.Mutt & Jeff" is one of the leading mu
sical comedies on the road today, and
the people of Abbeville are fortunate II
having an opportunity to witness the
production at prices much lower thar
those paid in other cities.
Other seats will be sold for 7oc, oo'
and a5c., but the wisest plan will be te
reserve your seats at once.

@MUTT AND JEFF IN MEXICO"

True to his promise, Gus Hill offers
a new vehicle each successive season
for Bud Fishers eccentric character
conception Mutt and jeff" One can
not imagine the arduous labor at
tached to the task of furnishing a new
book for the ludricrous frolics OF
those two i'll mated comics, for the
reason that the pace set by the origi-
nal production is a hard one to follow
There must be laugh to every line
of Mutt and jeff" dialogue, a scream
to every situation, the audience looks
for it and it must be forthcoming.
New ones, mind you not old time worn
"gags," however, Mr.. Hill has sue
ceeded admirably in keeping faith
with his patrons and has offered a
suitable and satisfactory book for the
past four years. Mutt and jeff in
Mexico" bids fair to prove the most
successful of all former productions
under the title, which alone suggests
humor even to the layman's mind.
Wonderful opportunities are offered
for scenic display and light effects,
which have been taken advantage OF
to their fullest extent. The first scene
is laid at Annapolis Naval Academy

Please allow me space to make a

With this in view let the delegation
from Abbeville County and the delega-
tions from every other county in the
State get together and call upon the
people, the farmers, merchants, bank
ers, professional men, laborers of ev-
cry class and urge them to meet with
their deleagtion at their respective
Court Houses on Monday, September
the 28th. In each County meeting there
should be a full discussion Of the sit
uation, getting free expressions from
the renter as well as the landlord and
from the laborer as well as the capt.
talist. 49,. ..,
Many valuable suggestions would
come from a discussion Of this nature
and the delegations could get in close
touch with the needs and wishes OF
the people; they could then go Into
this extra session, fresh from the peo-
pie, knowing just what their constitu-
tents want and need.
It is time for every true South Car
Gilman to lay aside all political differ
ences and lend their best efforts and
talents in trying to relieve the present
apparent disastrous conditions. And
I appeal to especially to my Fellow
members of the Abbeville delegation
and to my fellow members Of the house
from the entire State and urge that we
have a meeting to ascertain the I'M
mediate needs and wishes Of the peo-
pie. By doing this we will let the peo-
ple have direct voice in passing the

To the Women of South Carolina:

To the Women of South Carolina:
On account of the war in Europe the
whole South is being assailed in its
last retreat, and is passing through a
severe test as tc stability. To maintain
our commercial standing and to pro-
tect our homes it behooves every one
to cooperate loyalty in our common in
terest in the present crisis. Believing
firmly that there is a place for every
man and woman in the duties of citi-
zenship, and though vastly different
they are equal, and as the men have
already energetically planned cam
paign for relief, I earnestly call upon
the women of South Carolina to come
forward and take up their part of this
burden. ...... ...
The "buy-a-Dale" plan inaugurated
by the business men to save the cotton
crop and prevent bankruptcy is prov
ing success and now that the women
shall not appear behind the men in in
genuity or loyalty, respectfully sug-
gest that women organize "wear-cot-
ton-clothes" clubs. opportunity turks
in every calamity" and the present sit
uation can be made to add greatly to
our independence and self-reliance If
properly met by the people. Therefore
all women-club women, patriotic So
cieties, church organizations, mill
women, women on the farms, and es-
pecially society women--are urged to
adopt the following resolutions and act
upon the suggestions Immediately.
Members of equal suffrage clubs and
those favoring the principles of equal
rights are especially urged to indorse
these resolutions thereby showing that
the desire to vote is one Of the least
motives which actuates their active In
terest in the welfare of the country.
Let us wear cotton dresses and by
that act show to the world our love
and affection for and willingness TO
help our noble men in this present
time of trouble. ,... b..
Whereas, the present war in Eu-
rope having brought about conditions
in the South which, for hardships and
calamity, are second only to those at
tending a country in actual warfare,
and
whereas, the men of the South are
making use of every means to protect
and save us from ruin; therefore be 1t
Resolved, That the women of the
South commend the men for the
promptness and energy with which
they have met a serious situation, and,
further to perpetuate the traditional
and actual readiness of Southern Won-
en- to bear cheerfully and Loyalty their
share of every burden; be 1t further
"Resolved, That the women of South
Carolina indorse the "buy-a-bale' plan
and pledge themselves to adopt cotton
cloth for wearing apparel, especially
for dresses, until the price Of cotton re-
turns to 10 cents and above"
