A splendl Representative crowd was

most filled. A committee had been app
pointed by the mons brotherhood TO

tee has certainly accomplished much
in the way OF cultivatIng sentiment,
and starting interest in something for

er paid a tribute to West Virginia as a
state and to Weston as a town, because
Of the superb potential powers which
they possessed. The speaker spoke out
OF a twenty-six years experience In

work. He said good organization
could be affected In Weston II the cit
liens would feel 1t keenly enough and
would pay for their convictions. The
growth of tho work Of Young Mems
Christian Association was dwelt upon
and 1t was shown how fnr reaching and
extensive the work is. In America 100
million dollars OF property is owned
by the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton. 400 secretaries are employed
and there Is d membership of 100000.

character. The foe to young men,
running their bodies Is impurfty.

Z. M. C. A. MOVEMENT
STARTED IN WESTON

Dink. licCntlousnCsR, injurious use Of
tobacco and impure thoughts have
ruined many a promising life. The
speaker said that sixty per cent Of all
young men applying for the army
weru rejected because OF physical
inability brought on BY impurity.
Physical training is for body build
Ing and this is religious work.
The, problems confronting our great
cities were dwelt upon by Mr.. Cooper
and he showed how many parts Of Now
England wore now New Germany and
New Italy and New Russia and New
Poland. Tho hearts OF many of our
cities were full OF polyglot people.
They are doing the work tho Amcri-
cans will not do. Our industrial alien
muscle must DO trained and the heart
life must he made right. or we suffer
in consequence, II we neglect our
duty.
The speaker said that some OF tho
problems OF this democracy must be
settled by tho work OF the Young
Mems Christian Association. Right
kind of friendship can be had through
this organization. Many illustrations
that had come under the speakers OBJ
servatlon were given showing what n
blessing the work OF the Young Mems
Christian Association had heon
throughout the land. The Joy OF doing
personal work was emphasized and
ns an institution 1t was shown that
the Young Mems Christian Association
ia a friend OF every boy and young
man. The entire speech was strong
argument in favor OF this great organ
ization. good, large and influential
committee will be chosen and the mat
tor will be taken up soon. looking to
the establishment of Young Mems
Christian Association for Weston.
The writer learns that the chances
are very favorable for the organization
o IA Young Mems Christian AssOcia-
ton in the county seat OF Lewis coun-
ty. The feeling is prevalent that
something must be done for the boys
and young men and this seems to be
the solution of the problem. Quite
number OF the good citizens Of the
community are already becoming en-
thusiastic about the enterprise and az
already indicated. the prospects arc
bright for the coming men Of Weston
through the work Of this wonderful
heaven-dIrected agency. which has
been so signally owned OF God wher-
ever the Young Mems Christian AS
Bociatl0n has been established.

Fellow Citizens of Pickens County.
l am deeply grateful to you for your
support in the past elections and wish
to assure you that the cause of educa-
ton in Pickens county will have my
most earnest attention.
l believe with the firm foundation
which has already been laid, and the
newly-awakened interest being shown
for better schools, that the future for
Pickens county along educational lines
is indeed very bright; and let us all hope
that she will continue to make progress
until we can boast of being among the
foremost counties in South Carolina.
Again let me thank you for your sup
port and assure you that my treatment
of the schools in the county will be i'm
partial; that prejudice of sect or de-
nomination has never swayed me and
never shall; that all money will be justly
apportioned among the different school
districts; that / will carry out the law
in regard to schools as near to the letter
as is possible, and when the office is non
executive | will strive to find the will
of the people and abide by the same:

B. Eliminates Some

Sunday, the 18th inst, about 10. 30 a.
m., the grinder of the old matrimonial
mill near Cateechee was basking in the
sunlight and his toes had got cold and
ne mad no wood to make fire, watch
ing the autos as they ran up and down
the road, which put our thinking appa-
ratus to revolving and brought many
past events to our mind, to-wit:
Something like forty years ago the
writer remembers his father and his
mother carrying him to Six Mile church,
a distance of fifteen miles, in "fist and
skull' wagon and it drawn by two old
fiop-eared mules. When we got there
we found log building with an old-time
boxed-up pulpit, which looked very
much like horse stall. Directly the
congregation began to gather, the most
OF whom came in ox-carts and the
women with split bonnets on and the
men with brogan shoes.
But when the hour arrived for preach
ing Rev. Jacob Chapman, who we feel
is now interceding on the right hand of
God, preached sermon that went
straight to the heart and made ones
hair rise on his or her head The old
women would shout till their bonnets
fell off, and sometimes the old family
dog which had came along would run in
to take part in the disturbance.
But now we can't go to church unless
we can go in Ford, a Maxwell or some
other kind of stylish way. Of course
our dressing has got to be up to date,
the pews we sit in have got to be paint
ed and the preacher must be a cultured
speaker If everything is not exactly
as we think it ought to be we will 90
home and make game. Half of us can t
tell what the preachers text was when
we leave the church.
Well, these were only a few thoughts
that rolled through our mind as the
autos ran up and down the road, when
one rolled up in our yard contain
ing five passengers, two of whom were
the handsomest and pleasingest looking
little couple we ever met. They lust
naturally had the appearance of little
! angels. They looked so innocent until
the officiating officer thought they ought
to be standing in some pool waiting for
the ordinance of baptism instead OF
having marriage ceremony performed.
However, feeling that they loved each
other and being armed with the proper
authority, j. Alonzo Brown, N. p, de-
cided that Mr.. Edgar Nelson and Miss
Nellie Sheppard of Liberty shall here
after be man and wife.
Many congratulations to this happy
little couple. B.
