CHURCH NOTES
Baptist
]. M. Sullivan. Pastor.

Last week was good enjoy
able time with us, living on the
fat of the Patrick land, shaking
hands with our friends, and rest
ing ourselves after the long sum-
mer's work. 1t would be hard
to find more suitable place for
rest and quiet enjoyment than
the little town of Patrick. We
were present last Wednesday
with the folks partly in the cot
ton field, mostly in the dining
room, in their work day for the
orphanage. James has some
thing to say about this kind of
religion, let us hear him: Pure
religion and undefiled before
God and the Father is this, To
visit the fatherless and widows
in their affliction, and 10 keep
himself unspotted from the
world. Jas. 1:27.
How many will put their relig-
ion in action On next Saturday?
Doing for Jesus, allowing the Or
phanage to have the benefit in
this present world and us to have
it in the world to come.
| We enjoyed last Sunday at
Taxahaw at IL a. m. and White
Plains $50 p. m. Good crowds at
both places We love to see the
folks and feel that they enjoved
the services Of the Lord.
Next Sunday, Pageland II

Farmers to Meet Oct. 1st.


1 hereby call a meeting of the
Southern Cotton Congress in
each County in South Carolina
at the Court House, IL a. m,
October 1st. Irequest that these
meetings be called in addition to
any others that may have been
held. I hope before that date
each County will have been Or
ganized. That in each County
hundreds of people will be wear
ing our badges, indicating they
have paid $1.00 to help boost the
price OF cotton and that we have
their support in trying to hold
one third of this cotton crop and
for reducing the 1915 crop 50 per
cent. We are going to use your
dollar to help us organize.
While we shall be glad to have
you contribute $1.00 to the
organization, we are not going
to let that keep you from our
meetings or from receiving all
the benefits we can secure. If
you work a one horse farm or a
fifty horse farm; if you make
one bale or 500 bales; rich or
poor; white or black, we need
your influence. We stand for
the poor man as we'll as the rich,
in asking that our creditors will
take that which we have-a cot
ton warehouse recipt-and with
hold collecting his notes and ac-
counts as long as he possibly can
in order that we may obtain cost
or above for this cotton crop.
We wish the cooperation of
farmers, merchants, bankers fer
tilizer companies and all other
persons doing business in the
South. We wish every farmer
to sign our pledge. We request
you to hold. if possible, one third
of your crop for one year, unless
you can sooner sell it for twelve
cents per pound. We believe
five million bales or one-third of
this crop cannot be used by the
mills of the world before Sep
tember 1st, 1915. We believe
two thirds the crop, or ten mil
lion bales, can be sold at about
ten cents or above, if you will
slowly sell as the mills need it.
We can sell the ten million
bales, if properly marketed, fol
whole crop and have five mil
lion bales on storage next Sep
tember. Will you do your part,

Mail Order Buying.

Although by no means
new, the following story con-
tains such a spendid moral
against the practice of pratoniz-
ing mail order houses that every
publisher should print it:
Down in Georgia some time
ago a man went into a store to
buy saw. He saw the kind he
wanted and asked the price. 1t
was $l.65, the dealer said.
Good gracious" said the man
Il can get the same thing from
(name of mail order house, for
$l.35."
That's less than ii cost me-"
said the dealer, ''but I'll sell it on
the same terms as the mail order
house just the same"
'All right" said the customer.
"You can send it along and
charge it,"
mot on your life," the dealer
replied. mo charge accounts.
You can't do business with the
mail order house that way.
Fork over the cash."
The customer complied.
Nov two cents postage and
five cents for money order"
what"
Nov two cents postage and
five cents for a money order, to
a mail order house, you know"
The customer, inwardly raw
lng,. kept to his agreement and
paid the seven cents.
"Now 25 cents expressage."
well, I'll be-" he said, but
paid it, saying, Nov hand me
that saw and III take it home
myselfand be rid Of this foolery. {"
Hand it to your Where do
you think you are? You're in
Georgia and I'm in Chicago, and
you'll have to wait two weeks
for that saw"
Whereupon that Aealer hung
the saw on a peg and put the
money In his cash drawer.
That makes $l.67," he said
1T has cost you two cents more
and taken you two weeks longer

price in the first place."

The price of cotton continues
TO advance, and business is get
ting better. The "Buy a Bale"
movement is proving the saliva
ton of the Southern farmer.
When the war is over and every
body is settled down to business
again, a monument should be
erected to the memory of the
man who started this thing.

GEN. DE WET, BOER LEADER, 60 TODAY, NOW
 LOYAL TO BRITAIN

Most of the Boer leaders who waE- ed such valiant war against the Brit ish hosts fifteen years ago are now loyal subjects of King George and have offered their services Tn case Of need. One of these is Gen. Ton. Christian Rudolf De Wet. the great Boer guerilla chieftain, who was re- gently named as the prospective com rnander of a corps of Dutch African der scouts to aid England in it's con- tinental war. Gen. De Wet was born in South Africa. sixty years ago to- day. Oct. 2, 1854. He served in the Boer war Of 1881. andswas afterward a member of the Transvaal voIksraad, legislature. When the Boer repub- lies declared war on Great Britain in 1899 he became the commander-in- chief of the Free State forces, and ev-f cry English officer and Tommy who opposed him will testify that he was war he was the terror and despair of the British army. Sir John French now in command of the British troops in Europe, remembers De Wet as the daring leader who captured near ly 200 of the British convoy wagons their historic march for the relief of Kimberley. After the surrender of Cronje Gen De Wet conducted a master1y retreat, which ended only BO6T commander made the final subjuga- ton of the country a difficult prob lem by splitting his army up into small commands, which waged a gue- l riIla warfare against the British Sew eraI flying columns of English troops
 were sent after De Wet, but he aI- ways escaped. and to the end he was never a. captive. The skill with
 which he extricated himself from diff l dcI11t situations commanded the res pect and admiration! of the English l Lord Kitchener himself was on one occasion in extreme danger of being 1 taken prisoner by De Wet, but in the 1 battle of wits ''K" came off victorious l After the war Gen. De Wet, from ne- cessitous acceptance, gradually be- l came an enthusiastic supporter of | the new regime. Like his comrade
 in arms, Gen. Botha, now Premier of l the Union of South African, he enter | ed the political arena, and since 1907
 he has held office, under the British Crown as Minister for Agriculture in 1 the Orange River Colony. In a re- l cent address Gen. De Wet declared that the Boers under the Union gov 5ernme ent, with the ssassistance and brotherhood' of the Imperial gov l ernment, have been freer. happier and more prosperous than ever before.

BILLIARD BOOKS BURNED

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 7-Papers have not yet been served, as far as could be learned last night, on any of the five Directors Of the Billiard Company in this city, in the suit of the New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad and New England Navi- gatton Company against the Billiard Go. Samuel Hemingway, the only Director who could be reached, had nothing to say
