Westminster, Sept. S.--Special:
Rev. r. A. Sublette, pastor Of EN-
manuel Baptist church has Just closed
a meteing in which Dr.. Walter NJ.
Lee, of RochcIl, Ga, assisted him.
There were 33 additions 10 the
church, 20 by letter and 13 by bap-
tism.
Overfowing congregations attend
ed the meetings, and Westminster
people have never seen a meeting of
greater spiritual power. The new
900 church, which seats 500
people, could not accommodate the
crowds.
DR.. T. M. Golphin, pastor at Sem
eca, came over during the meeting
and assisted in ordaining three dea-

Left Families Destitute.

Washington, Sept. with the
pinch of poverty tightening among
FAMILIES left in the United States by
thousands Of European reservists
government officials to-day found
themselves without means of Offering
aid. The relief problem would have
to be handled, it was declared, by
State and local governments, through
public subscriptions and by such help
as the warning governments could eX-
tend.
Unofficial reports indicated relief
soon would be required. Hundreds
already are rependent upon public
support in New York. In the coal
regions Of Pennsylvania, where thou
sands Of alien miners quit work and
hurried to their regiments, the poor
houses are said to be filled beyond
their capacities. In other centers
where aliens have established homes
the situation Is the same.
Relief work for those rendered
destitute in European countries al
ready has been undertaken by their
fellow countrymen in the United
States, notably by the French. These
organizations probably will do what
they can for needy aliens here.

SIX RACING OARS SMASHED.
One by One the Racers Crashed Into
Each Other.

Columbia, Sept. Us. B. Teskey,
Charleston driver, was badly in
Jured, and Willie Wilds, a Columbia
driver, painfully bruised in a smash
up during the first lap of the 15-
mile event of the Labor Day auto
mobile racing meet at the State Fair
grounds late this afternoon. Drivers
of four other cars narrowly escaped
death when six automobiles piled on
one another at the turn of the course,
the me hines being wrecked.
Teskey caught the brunt Of the in
juries, his right arm being broken in
several places, finger on his right
hand being broken, and his body
being bruised. Wilds sustained con-
tusions on the face and hands and
about the body. None Of the other
drivers were hurt.
The cars in the wreck were driven
by "Nervy" Sullivan, Of Charleston:
Willie Wilds, Harry Davis, Jess Rey-
nolds, all of Columbia; Teskey, said
to be of Charleston, McCregor and
Keels.
1t is said that the car driven by
Teskey first went down with a lame
wheel, the driver being pinned be-
meath the car. Reynolds, blinded by
the dust, hit the broken car and was
thrown considerable distance.
Harry Davis struck the two cars as
they lay entangled, and he, too, was
thrown. Willie Wilds' car bumped
into the mass, throwing him to the
ground and severely brusing him,
but fortunately not breaking any
bones. Keels' car is next said to have
run into the wreckage, hurting him
to the ground, and Merry" Sullivan
in his big "Only' was the last to pile
into the melee, he being thrown into
corn-field near the edge Of the
track.

Mr.. + armer,
Here's Your Chance!

We expect to buy two bales Of cot
ton at 10c. per pound, basis strict
midding, from our gin customers in
this way:
The Westminster Bank has, sealed
IN an envelope now, one lucky num-
Der selected or marked between num-
bers | and 1000, inclusive, and the
holder of this number will report to
our office, and we will buy this bale
at 1Oc. per pound. This will not
keep you from selling the bale Of cot
ton, as you can present your cotton
bill, and we will pay you the differ
ence or buy another bale of like
weight. If the holder OF the lucky
number cannot be found after there
weeks notice in The Keowee Cou-
given, and so on.
In the event that cotton is not
bringing 10c. per pound, after we
propose to make, the same offer for
the next 1000 bales, running con-
secutively in like manner.
To explain: We mean to buy one
bale Of cotton from the first 1000
bales ginned, and then one from the
next l 900 bales, making 1000 bales
ginned in all. g. The Westminster
Bank has the lucky number now
sealed up, and we know nothing
about it. The bank will open the
envelope after the first 1000 bales
have been einned and give notice
through papers three issues, and if
cotton Is not then bringing 10c per
pound on our local markets, they will
prepare number for the next 1000
bales.
First, second and third numbers
will be put in for fear that the first
number cannot be located after three
weeks notice in the papers.
OF course, YOU understand that If
cotton were to be bringing more than
Oc. 1t would be useless to run this
| offer after the first 900 bales.

Fought Since August 23.

London, Sept. 7.-Once more the
Germans and the allied French and
British armies have grappled in the
great battle which has been fought
since August 23. The tide has turned
for time at least and according to
an official bulletin from Paris, the
Germans on Sunday evening were
compelled to retreat.
The battle line stretched in rough
crescent east Of Paris from Nanteuil-
Le-Haudouin to Verdun. The front
was more than 100 miles, long, with
the French on the outer edge of the
crescent and the Germans occupying
the interior line.
1t was a general action and the
British troops were IN the battle with
the French. Brief and indefinite
though the annourcStFih was, IL has
kindled high hopes ih"Great Britain
that the German steam roller has
struck an impossible barrier.

DEATH OF MRS. e. A. BARRON.
Good Woman Called to Her Reward
Last Saturday.

Seneca, r. F. D., Sept. 7.-Spe-
cial: Although last Sabbath morning
dawned beautiful and sublime, still
many hearts were made sad when the
Intelligence of Mrs. e. A. Barron s
demise, on the previous night, Sep
tember 5th, about II o'clock, was
made known. The Fairview commu-
nifty has lost one of its most useful
women; the loss is irreparable.
Mrs. Barron was in her 66th year.
and was a devoted member Of Fair
view church, which she loved always,
and attended when her health pc =
mitted She taught class in the
Sunday school and was an efficient
teacher in the public schools of the
county for many years. She had
high and noble ideals Of life. She
was faithful member of the Ladies'
Aid Society and was also connected
with the Farmers Local Union.
Before marriage, Mrs. Barron was
Miss Lou McMahan. She is survived
by one daughter, Miss Olivia; a step
daughter, Miss Stella, and one step
son, w. Stiles r. Barron. She was q
faithful and indulgent mother. Be-
sides these she Is survived by five
pio'hSio IIShiS, w. Law ltuCc, JeH
D., A. A. and J. r. McMahan; three
sisters, Mrs. John l.. Smith, Mrs. l..
b. Knox and Mrs. Frank Taylor.
The funeral services were held
Sunday afternoon at 4.30 O'Clock, be-
ing conducted by her pastor, Rev. /.
E. Wallace, assisted by her former
pastor, Rev. NJ. r. Fitzpatrick, after
which her remains were inferred by
the side Of her husband, who pre-
deceased her only six months. This
fact makes 1t doubly sad for those
who are bereaved.
The home Of Mr.. and Mrs Barron
was we'll known for it's hospitality.
They delighted in having young peo-
pie gather at their home and enjoy
themselves in a way that young peo-
pie should.
The large concourse which attend
ed the funeral, and the many beauti-
full floral tributes, attested the love
and high esteem in which our
friend was held. We hope to meet
her and her loyal companion in the
beautiful beyond, Some sweet day,
bye and bye"
