We had good day at Meals Creek
Sunday. Pastor iiiott aeemed to be
at his best. His message was one of
inspiration and encouragement to all
who trust God for strength with which
to fight lifc's battles. Several visi-
| tors were present, and we trust they
and others will worship with US Of
ten.
Mir. Robert Clark Of Anderson
spent the weekend at the home OF
MIR. J. a. Elgin.
Mrs. w. G.. Burriss, who has been
i'll for sometime, is able to ride out o
short distance. We hope she will
soon be able to attend Sunday school,
as she is greatly missed.
Miss Ouida Major spent the week.
end here with her parents. She was
accompanied by Miss Lena Elrod Of
Flat Rock.
Messrs. Charles Cobb and Frank
Elgin used the harrow and split-Iog
drag effectively last week, going from
Meals Creek church almost to Mr..
S. y. Pearman's. distance OF some
two and one-half miles. That amount
Of work certainly speaks we'll for two
men only. They also dragged the hill
between Mr.. c. F. Martins and
Pea! Creek, which was almost i'm
passable. This was greatly appreciat-
ed by our efficient r. +. d. carrier,
Mr.. L. w. Major. There Is yet room
FOR others to do likewise.
Messrs. Harmon Dunlap and Jeter
Armstrong of Whitefield spent Satur-
day night with Rev. j. T. Mann.
Suggested subject for debate,
Should the immigration bill with the
literacy test be enacted into law In
the United States?" Give. this writer
the Affirmative side, please, and 1t Is
his opinion that unless there Is
mighty thinning down Of population
asi result of the European war even
those true Americans who challenge
the negative side will change their
mind. II there is great ignorance
in South Carolina now, what will be
its proportion throughout the couS1
try jf undesirable immigrants are M
lowed without restrictions to pour in
upon us, and undo what millions o.
dollars and years Of toll have done.
Those who read both sides of the
question must, II they will look, sec
that this Is really momentous ques-
tion-one too broad to be placed mere
ly within the scope Of politics or
party lines.
