Picnic at The County Home

The annual W. C. T. U. picnic
was held at the County Home on
Saturday June 10. Representatives
from Philippi, Mrs. Geo. Scott,
Mrs. and Miss Derrick; Johnston,
Mrs. J. H. White, Mrs. T. R. Den
ny and others; Trenton, Mrs. ]. D.
Mathis; Edgefeld, Mrs. Mamie N.
Tillman, Mr.. and Mrs. j. L. Minis,
Miss Florence Minis and Mrs. Abner
Broadwater and number of visit
ors were present and a number of
baskets sent by w. c. T. U. mem
bers unable to be present.
A bountiful dinner was served
out under the trees, the table having
been previously arranged by Mr..
Scurry. Iced lemonade and tea were
provided, and Mr.. and Mrs. uScurry
showed very kindly hospitality to-
wards all who came. Large boxes Of
eatables were presented to each in
mate, accompanied by a bouquet of
flowers.
After the picnic dinner was over,
the members of the w. @. T. q.
and visitors repaired to the chapel
where services were held, Mr.. j. l..
Minis being in charge. A number
of hymns were sung, among them a
solo by Mrs. White which was very
tender and inspiring.
In the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
scurry, their little girls, Ha,npie
and Lucy, accompanied on the piano
by their sister, Miss Ella Bell, sang
several songs. and little Martha
Denny and Eleanor Minis recited,
and before taking leave of this pleas
ant occasion, all joined in singing,
God be with you Ill we meet
again."

in charge of the programme.
The first speaker presented was
Rev. Mr.. Warren, pastor of the
1aptist churches at Modoc and
Parksville, who made an instructive
address on Home Missions. Mr..
Warren said at the outset that it is
i'm possible for \ person to be a
Christian and not possess a mission
ary spirit. He stated that the Bible
is missionary in it's teaching from
cover to cover, and that all one has
to do TO become informed as to mis-.
sionary work is to read and study
the Bible. Mr.. Warren was fol-
lowed by Rev. g. NJ. Sexton, pas
tor of the Baptist church at Plum
Branch, who is a ferceful and etfec-
tive speaker. In a comprehensive
manner Mr.. Sexton presented the
cause of Foreign Missions. Instead
of being devoid of interest, as some
missionary talks are, Mr.. Sexton's
remarks were replete with interest
from the beginning to the close,
holding the closest attention of the
large audience. Mr.. Littlejohn was
fortunate in securing these minis.
ters to present two of the three
phases of missionary endeavor. The
exercises of the afternoon were
closed by y talk on temperance by
Mr.. J. L. Minis, who emphasized
the Importance OF our taking a for
ward step by casting a large vote
for prohibition in this county in the
election to be held September IA.
If one is to Judge by. the elabo-
rate feast which was served at the
noon hour, the effects of the war
have never reached Rehoboth. Not
withstanding the attendance Sun
day was probably the largest ever
seen at Rehoboth, yet dinner was
served in sufficient abundance to
have provided for several hundred
more. One rarely sees more
elaborate feast, even on wedding
occasions, than was served by the
good people of Rehoboth. They
have easily sustained their reputa-
ton for dispensing lavish hospi-
tality.
While every minute of the day
was exceedingly pleasant, the occa-
sion being ideal in many respects,
yet many were depressed on account
of the very serious illness of Mrs.
Julia Tslbert, Mrs. Carrie Burk-
halter Freeland and Mr.. R. A.
Cochran, each of whom has had a
large part in making Rehoboth
church and community what they
are today. Visitors and friends
from distance greatly missed the
kindly and very cordial greetings
from these friends who are never
absent from their places 1T church
except when unavoidably 'detained.

MIR. c. M. Mellichamp.

''The Southeastern Circle" a
monthly periodical issued by the
Southeastern Life Insurance of
Greenville, has the following to
say of Mr.. c. M. Mellichamp in the
current issue:
&C. M. Mellichamp paid US Wis
il at the Home Office two weeks
ago, and we understand has burned
his bridges behind him, bought an
automobile, and gone in to do busi-
ness. Mellichamp is one of one of
our best men, but being part-time
man has never sent in large vol
ume of business. With the help of
a car to go about in, and his old
time determination and pleasing
appearance, we may look for big
things from Mccormick"

Death of Miss Donald and Mrs
Carpenter.

On last Thursday the 10th inst,
large crowd assembled at the
home of Mr.. J. G. Whitlock to at.
tend the funeral services of two
relatives of the family. One Of
these was sister of Mrs. Whitlock,
Miss Eugenia Donald, who had
long made her home in this house
hold. Miss ''Siddie," as she was
familiarly called, had be.n greatly
afflicted and one cannot help the
feeling that death came to her as a
blessed relief from suffering. She
was a woman of sweet and sympa-
thetic nature, and though for
months set aside from the activities
of life and a constant care to her
loved ones, she will still be greatly
missed in the home where her last
days were spent. She leaves to mourn
her loss two sisters, Mrs. ]. G.
Whitlock and Mrs. Milledge Horn,
of this community.
On the day previous to this, Mrs.
Hannah Carpenter, sister of MIR.
J. G. Whitlock, had died in Aiken
and from there her body was
brought TO the home of her brother
for burial. Mrs. Carpenter was the
relict Of the late John Carpenter
ard since his death had made her
home with her son in Aiken, She
leaves one brother, Mr.. ]. G. Whit
lock of this place and one sister,
Mrs. Gray of Aiken. Of her imme-
diate family she leaves three sons,
Messrs. William, Walter and Cor
don Carpenter.
Mrs. Carpenter was woman of
estimable christian character, she
and Miss Donald both being mem
bers of Mt. Zion church. The pas
tor of this church, Rev. P. B. Ian
ham, conducted the funeral service
at the home, after which long pro-
cession followed the two-haarsns to

Flag 6gy oe:ebra -.

On Monday afternoon Flag day
was beautifully and appropriately
observed by the Johnston Chapter
D. A. r. with their Edgefeld
member, Mrs. w. B. Cogburn.
Several matters of business were
attended 10, and a splendid paper
on The Flags" was read by Mrs.
M. T. Turner.
After the reading of this paper,
The Star Star Spangled Banner was
sung by all present, words having
been provided by Mrs. White, who
at the close of the programme turn
ed over the gavels in her possession
as president to Mrs. M. L. Turner,
the new president for the coming
year. One of these gavels was
from Mt. Vernon, the other from
the battle of Coupens, having been
presented by friends of the chapter.
Other articles of value belonging to
the organization were placed in the
keeping of Mrs. Turner who &C
cepted the responsibility very gra-
ciously. The programme closed
with the salute to the flag said i'll
concert by those present.
There were about a dozen. present
from the Johnston chapter, and as
many or more from EdgeGeld, and
each one arrived, they were struck
with the number of flags placed in
conspicuous places in the home.
Everyone must have known it to be
patriotic occasion. Beautiful
flowers added fragrances and joy to
the scene.
The refreshment was block cream
in the colors of the flag, served with
pound and angel cake, and the hos
tess, Mrs. Cogburn, was very much
at home with the Johnston friends,
as she was with her Edgefeld
friends. The hope was expressed
that the Emily Greger chapter will
observe all the Flag days in Edge
field.

large attendance from the adjacent

large number who had to remain
outside.

pastorate of Rev. J. T. Littlejohn

responded to his labors is shown
by contrasting Rehoboth church

The wind blows hard here night

acres of land in South Carolina than
800 here, if had to stay on it and
farm. The land here is fine though
and the crops are very fine, the
corn being in full silk and tassel.
Cotton is from knee high to hip
high and full of blooms. 1t looks
fine but the boil weevil is giving it

melons are plentiful.

EIoIl tiC "ASliil bSASoil.
A new cause for complaint has been dis
covered touching Mr.. Bryan: When he
left the secretary of states office he took
the desk that has been used by secretaries
Of state for so years. Mr.. Bryan desired
this as a souvenir. He attached unusual
value to It not because of the great Sec
retaries of state who nave used it in the
past, but because it was the desk on which
he signed his own peace treaties. He had
the government reimbursed by having
builded a desk of the same size to take
the place Of the historic one. Some are
saying HI Mr.. Bryan could not legally
do this since the desk that he carried
away was the property OF the government
and hat the government also attached a
sentimental value to It by reason of its
course. the government lost nothing actual
and Mr.. Bryan gained nothing actual, but
the chiefest value In a nations life is
made up Of its sentiments and it's mem
cries and the symbols of its past glories.
These constitute an everlasting heritage
and for that reason relics. such as Mr..
Bryan removed, belong to the nation. The
Beacon has 10 desire to join in criticism Of
the episode, except to say that it was a Pc
culiar thing to do, and, as an admirer Of
Mr.. Bryan. we wish he hadn't done it.

The longest and noisiest dinner that
Mr.. James Sibree, Jr., the author OF
"A Naturalist in Madagascar" ever at
tended was given by the governor Of
town called Texarkana. About a o
OF officers We're at the table and seven
ladies'. After a long grace by the pas
tor, dinner al brought in, and consist
ed OF the following courses:
First, curry; second, goose; third,
pigeons and w%aterfowl; fourth, chick
en- outlets and poached eggs; fifth. beef
sausages; sixth, boiled tongue;
seventh, sardines; eighth, pigs trot-
tiers; ninth. fried bananas; tenth, pan
cakes; eleventh, manioc; twelfth,
dried bananas.
And lastly, says Mr.. Sibree, when !
thought everything must have been
served, came launches of roast beef.
Claret went about very freely, and at
length some much stronger liquor;
and the healths Of the queen, Our
friends, the two foreigners then
those OF the prime minister, chief sec
rotary and chief judge, we're all drunk
twice over, the governors coming
last; and each was followed by mu-
steal and drum honors.
There was a big drum just outside
on the veranda, as we'll as two small
ones, besides clarinets and fiddles,
and these were in full play almost all
the time. Then the room was filed
by a crowd Of servants and aids de
camp, and the shouting Of everyone,
from the governor down, was deafen-
ing. The old gentleman directed every
thing and everyone. I was glad when
could take my leave, after two hours
sitting, but l was not to leave quietly.
The governor took me by the hand and
escorted me home, while the big drum
was hammered at ahead of us all the
way.-Youth's Companion.
