Many Persons Killed.

Atlanta, Ca, September 90
Death overlook ia persons while
walking on tracks, swinging trains,
or Otherwise trespassing on the
property of the Southern Railway
during the year ended June 80.
Despite all warnings of It's dan
ger, the practice of trespassing on
railroad property seems on the In
crease. For the three previous years
the number of trespassers killed on
the Southern was as follows: 1913
f55; l914-l26; l915-l46, making
with 1916 a total of COL lives sac
rlfced to carelessness.
Statistics show that the great
majority of railroad trespassers kill.
ed are useful citizens. Wage earn
ers, using the tracks while walking
to and from their work, furnish a
large proportion while fully a third
are school boys, killed while hop
eing' trains.

Annual Protracted Meeting
Pleasant Social Event. MIR.
Padgett's Store Burned.
Small Insurance.

Your correspondent has been
side. tracked for some time, but will
attempt now to sum up the events
of any Importance which have &C.
Cured in our community since the
last writing.
Our protracted meeting lasted for
five days, during which time Rev.
T. H. Posey gave us some excellent
sermons. There were no additions
to the church, but conditions were
not favorable for that. For one
thing a considerable number had
come in the previous year, for an
other, the meeting had come too
late in the season, the farmers lay
ing by time" being over, and the
rush of the fall crop gsthing being
on. The membership too was per-
haps not in the best frame of mind
for meeting, being at present
more concerned over material than
the spiritual needs of their church.
A pleasant social event for our
people was the ice cream reception
given by Mrs. w. A. Pardue, for
the benefit of the new church. This
was largely attended, much enjoyed,
and brought forth neat sum for
the purchase of some needed arti-
cles for the church.
On Monday of last week the store
owned and operated by Mr.. E. NJ.
E. M. Padgett was destroyed by
fire. This carried a small stock of
groceries. We have learned that
there was insurance to the value of
$3.50 on the goods and building.
Miss Marie Padgett has gone to
attend school at the Edisto Arade.
my for the coming winter.
The sympathy of the community
is with Mrs. 6. G. Pardue in the
recentloss of her sister Miss Hassel-
tine Green. Is
Mrs. w. A. Pardue motored to
Columbia last week to see her sister,
Mrs. F. L. Shealy,s who had to un-
dergo a surgical operation in the
Baptist hospital. She is suffering
from quite serious affection of
throat, and second operation will
be necessary.
We are sorry to report the con-
tinued illness of Mrs. ]. w. Pritch-
ard. She is to be carried to hos
pital in Augusta this week for an
operation. Her mother, Mrs. E.
J. Richardson, from Wagner, is
with her. and will accompany her
to the hospital. We hope for her
speedy recovery, not only for her
own sake, but because we miss her
in our church and Sunday school
music.
Speaking OF the Sunday school
reminds US that since the compile
ton of the new and comfortable
church building the Sunday school
will hereafter be held in it, instead
of in the building of the day school.
A large number of people living
holop tho chnrch mood this Sunday
school, and are already joining and
beginning to attend it, We wish
for it great usefulness in the future
in its soul saving mission, for it is
one of the most important depart
ments of the work of the church.
The next meeting of our w. M.
S. will be at the home of Mrs. j..
Monroe Padgett.

HORNS CREEK.
Cotton Picking Well Advanced.
Small Congregation Sunday.
MIR. and Mrs. c. A. Wells
Entertained Friday.

The rush of cotton picking will
soon close in our neighborhood.
We are so glad that farmers are
still getting a good price for it, but
everything we have to buy is high
in proportion to cotton.
Quite a small congregation at
tended Horns Greek last Sunday
afternoon. Those who were not
: present do not know what a fine
sermon they missed.
On last Friday night the doors of
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. G. A.
Wells were thrown open to the
young people of the neighborhood.
1t was quite amusing to see the old
time games played. These games
made the older ones who participa-
ted in them feel young again. De-
lightful ice cream and cake were
served. Everybody seemed to have
jolly good time until the wee
small hours when they reluctantly
babe their host and hostess good
night. The parlor and hall were
beautifully decorated with ferns
and other pot plants.
We wonder why Miss Sallie Mae
Miller did not attend church Sun
day. fit is not telling tales out of
school, we believe her sweetheart
called and probably his preaching
for the afternoon was more inter
esting than DR.. Jones.
Miss Lula Roper who has been
in Albany, N. Y, for the past
three years is down on visit to
her relatives and friends. Miss
Lula has such a big heart that she
wants to carry all of us back with
her to Albany next spring.
Mrs. Carrie Mays who has been
on visit to Mr.. and Mrs. A. A.
Wells during the past week has
gone to the home of DR.. A. r.
Nicholson of your town.
sssaSfsss Una Ryan left Saturday to
visit her sister, Mrs. Harmon. Mr..
Roy Ryan who had to be brought
home from Clark's Hill some time
ago on account of sickness has re-
cuperated sufficiently to return to
Clark's Hill and complete harvest
ing his crop.
Mr.. Warren Fair and Mrs. Pierce
RYAN are on the sick list this week,
but we hope their sickness is only
slight.
The friends and..neighbors of Mrs.
S. w. Miller are rejoiced to learn
that she has improved sufficiently
to come home from Augusta.
Mr.. Lonnie Smith and children
spent Sunday with Mr.. and Mrs.
James Smith.
Miss Fannie Wells of Golfers
spent Friday and Saturday with
Miss Annie Louise Grafton, return
ing to her home Sunday and taking
with her Miss Annie Louise.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. B. Williams of

night and Sunday with Mrs. Will
liams' brother and sister, Mr.. and
IIrs. Wallace Miller.
Mrs. A. A. Wells and Mrs. Car
rie Mays spent Saturday in home of
MIR. D. E. Lanham of Ropers.
We wish to call the attention of
the members of the missionary So
ciety to the fact that we are invited
to meet at the home of Mrs. Lille
Wells for our next regular meet
ing.

Martial law has been proclaimed in
the city and county Of Dublin and the
official announcement is made that
drastic steps are being taken to sup
press the movement and arrest those

That the government intends to deal
with the offenders with heavy hand

proclamation In the official gazette
suspending in Ireland section OF the
defense Of the real amendment act OF
1916, which gives to British subject
charged with an offensc under the act

THREE ORGANIZATIONS MEET
Much Discussion BY Delegates To the
Convention of Nurses at New
Orleans.

New Orleans-Courses OF training
for public health nurses, standardiza-
ton and equipment of hospital wards
and rules to be followed in care OF spe-
cific diseases were themes that re-
ceived much discussion by delegates to
the convention of the three national or
ganizations of nurses here. The early
sessions were devoted principally to
business meetings of the organizations
REPRESENTATIVE American Nurses
Association, National League OF Nurs-
ing, Education and National Organiza-
ton for Public Health Nursing.
Training in marketing, in economic
management of household, in social
service and modern methods for pre-

GEN. MAXWELL IN COMMAND
in Egypt-Has Been Given Full
Disciplinary Powers.

London.-Martial law has been de-
clared throughout Ireland and Major
General Sir John Maxwell, who until
recently commanded the troops in
Egypt, has gone over to take charge.
He has been given full disciplinary
powers for the extension Of the op-
erations and the suppression OF the
rebellion.
The revolt, which broke out in Dub
lin April "a, has spread to other parts
OF Ireland, chiefly to the west and
south. This information, together with
the fact that the rebels are still in
possession of parts of Dublin, was CIV
en- to the nation by the ministers in
parliament on the 9th.
Premier Asquith, whU had given re-
assuring news respecting the situa-
tion, caused a flutter of anxiety by
his statement in the house Of COM
mons announcing the spread OF the
movement to other parts of Ireland,
the retention by the revolutionary
forces of certain parts Of Dublin and
the fact that fighting was still going
on in the streets.
The government, the prime minister
announced, was convinced that the
forces now in Ireland and those pro-
ceeding there were adequate to deal
with the situation.

Washington Regards Conference at the
Border as Proceeding Normally.
Washington.-Whil no inkling OF
the contents of Gen. Hugh L. Scott's
report to Secretary Baker on his con-
ferences with Gen. Obregon, the, Car
rama war minister, was given out
here, it was learned that administers
ton officials regard the discussion as
still in its preliminary stages.
Mr.. Baker took the message to Presi-
dent Wilson before sending q, reply.
Afterward he declined to discuss the
situation. Few other officials had any
knowledge Of the report, and these
were equally silent. The impression
prevailed, however. that they viewed
the progress Of the conference at the
border as normal and regarded 1t up
to this point merely as an exchange
OF views.
There is nothing to indicate that
Gen. Obregon's views as to the with
drawal of the American expedition
were presented as demands.
