WILLIAM DU GER
DIES SUDDENLY
WELL KNOWN RESIDENT OF CUL
LEokA SECTION ANSWERS
LAST CALL.

All the Culleoka section of the coun
ty was shocked this morning by the
sudden death of Will Digger, one oil
the best known residents of that sec
ton. Mr.. Digger spent the night al
his sisters Mrs. A. B. Scott. He
was very sick this morning and ply.
stefan was summoned, but before he
could arrive the end came. He died
shortly before o'clock.
Mr.. Digger had been in apparently
the best of health up until almost the
hour of his death. He was in Colum.
bia on Monday. He would have been
fifty-six years of age on August
next and was member of one of the
largest and best known families of the
southern section of the county. He is
survived by five brothers and three
sisters. His brothers are Tolbert, D.
A., of Texas; Bud, Nit and Hunt, and
his sisters, Mrs. James C. Hickman,
Mrs ]. A. Richardson and Mrs. A. B..
Scott.
His wife, who was Miss Green, and
six children, Sara Hicks, Elmore, Clay,
Ida May, Paul and a baby, survive
him. He was consistent and loyal
member of the Christian church at
Stiversville and a most excellent citi-
zen. He was a successful farmer and
trader and was we'll to do. While he
had never held office he took lively
interest in public aaffirs and when he
was active welded a potent influence
at elections. He was only recently
one of the delegates to the state DEM
ocratic convention. He numbered his
friends by the hundreds; was chart
table, accommodating and genial and
there is genuine sorrow throughout
the entire community at the news of
ais death.
The funeral took place Thursday at
New Ramey, at II o'clock.

5. Never invite him and his

They never enjoy a social.
8. Pay just as little as you can
on his salary and grumble about
that. This makes him feel good.
Z. Never give him anything

Church Bosses

In a neighboring town some
months ago there was one Ban
tist church. One of the richest
men in the congregation was the
church's boss.
A day came when some sixty
OF the members tired of being
bossed and pulled out. There
was no unseemly quarrel, no
hard words. The discontented
ones walked out with the bless
ings of those who remained.
Once out, these sixty set about
organizing another church.
They now have a membership
Of over one hunderd, a Sunday
school of over two hundred, and
a brick house of worship almost
paid for. Moreover, the old
church has been stimulated to
action, and is building q SIS, ZOO
shurch home.
God has evidently blessed the
separation, but so far as | am
able to learn, the new church
organization is not recognized
by, the powers that be in the
Baptist world. They are still
regarded as rebels.

The Dishonest Debtor.

"A man man be in debt and
yet be perfectly honest, for the
payment of his debt is definite
ly planned and practically GER
tain. And a man may be honest
though financially involved be-
yOnd his ability now or ever to
pay, for he may be a victim Of
misfortune and be in no way re-
sponsible for his plight. But for
the man who goes deliberately
into debt with no expectation or
intention of paying, there can be
nothing but just anathema
Spurgeon had a vital message
about going into debt: Some
people who have a dollar COM
ing will spend five on the
strength of it, which does not
belong to them. Such a person
is both unwise and dishonest.
Cut your coat according to your
cloth is sound advice, but cut
ting other peoples cloth by run
ming into debt is as like thiev-
ing as fourpense is like a goat.
IF meant to be rogue
would deal in marine stores, or
be pettyfogging lawyer, or
open loan office or go out pick
ing pockets; but | would scorn
the dirty art of getting into debt
without the prospect of being
able to pay. Debtors can hardly
help being liars. for they prom
Use to pay when the know they
cannot, and when they have
made up a lot of false excuses
they promise again, and so they
lie as fast as a horse can trot.' /"
Biblical Recorder.

| speak of this incident mere
Ily because it is typical of church
government, and | use a Baptist
church for illustration merely
because we Baptists claim to
have purely democratic govern
ment.
AS a matter of fact we are
not Democrats-eXcept noml-
nally. Our churches are ruled
by an aristocracy of money, Just
as all other churches are ruled.
Did you ever make the ac-
quaintance of a Board of Dea-
cons or Board of Elders that
was composed of the poor men
of the flock? You never have,
Dear Heart, and you never will.
All churches are bossed by a
few rich members. We raise
the devil about the rule of the
Pope of Rome, but our Demo
cratic (?) churches have sever
al little Popes each.
Sometimes it happens that
the preacher is one of the boss
es. If that happens in Bap-
tist church, he gets fired in.
stanter. The Methodists can't
help themselves.
But as a rule, the preacher
isn't considered. He takes his
orders from the church boss OF
bosses, who usually contribute
largely to the preachers salary,
and feel that they have, and of
right ought to have, a mort
gage on the preachers immortal
lsoul.
Church bosses are in meas
ure absolute monarchs, and their
findings and actions are, for that
very reason, often lacking in
Justice and charity. | once knew
of a Board of Deacons that
kicked out of church a girl who
had sinned, and I'll wager my
soul against a hair pin that the
majority of that board had, al
one time or another in their
lives, been guilty of that self.
same sin.
Of course, any business needs
a boss-a directing head. If the
average church didn't have d
boss, it would soon wither away
and die of dry rot. At least the
business end of the church would
die that way. 1t may be that,
in some cases, if the pastor
would kick the laymen bosses
into the depths of the sea it
would be for the glory of God
and the spiritual good of the
church.
The bosses are frequently
righteous men who have been
forced into the lead merely be-
cause they could and would foot
the bills. In such cases they
are a blessing.
But when they forget the old
fashioned "noblesse oblige" they
become a thorn in the side, and
a stencil in the nostrils of Heav-
en.-Fountain Inn Tribune.
