LOWER FAIR FOREST
POUNDS PASTOR

On Saturday, Sept. 2, while at the
nome of Mr.. and Mrs. Scaife Will
burns, about 8 p. m., several young
people came in. We had been in
formed that there was going % be
a singing at Mr.. Wilburn's. They be
gan singing in few minutes and the
people kept coming. We noticed that
several older people had dropped in
but did not suspicion anything.
About o'clock we were invited into
the dining room. We found the room
decorated and crowded with people
We were then informed that Lower
FAR Forest church and Sunday school
were pounding" their pastor. The
pastor was so surprised that he did not
know what to do or say; however, he
managed to get his thoughts together
enough to speak few words of ap.
probation and to offer a prayer of
thanks to God. After prayer j. r.
Bishop delivered an address in behalf
of the church and Sunday school 10
the pastor, informing him of their kind
feelings towards him and his family:
saying, that they had done what thew
had to show their love and apprecia-
ton for them.
The pounding was a very heavv
one and was composed of all kinds OF
good things to eat. We certainly do
appreciate this kind act and pray the
blessings of God to rest upon every
one. We thank you again and again.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. Nj. Trogdop.

LIQUOR RING IN THE MARKET

my deliberate opinion after getting my bearing
on the political situation in South Carolina is that
the liquor ring and the barrooms are trying to buy
the election" said Senator Tllman last night They
want man in the governors Office they can control,
that they may run the government What I want
to see is a knOckdown, dragout fight between those
who stand for good government and those who will
be influenced by the liquor interests am Demo-
crat If they are in the majority-then let them
have it. But don't believe the majority of tho
people of South Carolina will stand by and see the
State SO debauched. Well win if we get the people
out"
The statement was volunteered by Senator Till
man, who spent last night in Columbia after attend

CAROLINA LADS MAY
APPEAR IN MOVIES
PhOtOplay With Theda Bara as Star
Likely to Be Filmed on the
Border.

In Camp with the South Carolina
Troops in the Ell Paso Patrol District,
Sept. 6.-South Carolina soldiers who
are now encamped along the border
may have the opportunity of seeing
Theda Bra, the vampire of the
Screen lin person and taking part
with her in thrilling screen produc-
tion. Whether the soldiers will take
part or not has not yet been definitely
decided but there is every probability
that they will.
-r Theda Bara, it is said. is to he
heroine in play which will be filmed
in this section along the Rio Grand !.
The production is to be staged by the
Fox Film Corporation and will, set
forth scenes on the border, raids by
puesdo bandits, and a reproduction Of
conditions as they are and thcy might
be under war conditions. The picture
people wanted to stage this along the
Rio Grande between FL Paso and
JuareZ, and have mimic battles along
the river, but Gen. Bell is said to have
declined to allow this make-believe
fighting carried on at the boundary
for the MeXicans might mistake it
for the real thing and trouble will re-
suit. Now it is said the movie people
will go up along the Rio Grande be-
tween Texas and New Mexico, and all
in American territory and removed
from the border, and pull off the fight
ing there. One man who is assisting
in getting the location and parapher-
MALTA for the actors and actresses said
that the Pennsylvania and South Car
olina troops would be asked to take
part in the make-believe fighting and
be filmed in very important part of
the play.
Likely to Take Part.
Unless the commanders object, and
it is not supposed that they will, the
Palmetto boys. will undoubtedly like
very well to be movie actors with
Theda, for the star and some of them
don't care how many times they and
Theda will appear together in the same
scenes.
A part of this picture, it is sato
will depict the Mexican bandits and
the Mexican women and children, and
already 100 Mexican saddles have been
impersonate the men of the trouble
nation to the south.
Of course, the movie people would
like to use actual border territory,
but everyone realizes the wisdom of
the authorities in declining this priv
ilege for the situation is such that it
might result in real trouble.
A Mr.. McNairy, who owns a Dig
ranch up in New Mexico on the Flo
! Grande, said that the movie people
wanted to stage the picture OH his pos
sessions and would probably do so.
This Mr.. McNairy has become d great
favorite among the South Carolin;ans
for he solicited business for the FIRST
National Bank of Fl PaSo, Of which
| his brother is cashier and IN thiG way
he met great many Of the men from
the Palmetto State. 1t is possible
that a number of the South Caroiin-
ians will witness the filming Of this
picture. Several houses Cor the movie
people to burn in The course Of taking
their picture will have to be built on
Mr.. McNairy's ranch and IN all it will
be very interesting to see the actual
making of one of the movie films.

Dressing for the Party.

On the trolley the other day there
were two winsome damsels hanging to
straps and entertaining each other In
sparkling conversation about what
they were going to wear at some func-
ton that was soon to happen. They
told Of their shoes, their stockings,
their lingerie, their skirts, their bod
ices, their neckwear, their hats, their
gloves, and every item of their garb
and the material thereof, and their
conversation seemed almost a SYM
phony in velvets, silks, jewels, that
one could imagine them entering the
drawing room in pink tulle and flow
cred wolfe, the objects Of the admiring
gaze Of all the company.
We would have given a So banknote
If we could have caught that conversa-
ton on dictagraph. BY the way,
why don't the record people get a
couple Of these fascinating damsels to-
gether and have them tell what they
are going to wear to a party? 1t
would be very interesting talk, as one
might imagine If he had seen that
whole car using their auricles In every
sort Of fashion to catch the mellifuous
accents of those gentle maidens telling
what they were going to wear.-Ohio

"Uncle Is In trouble, I fear" said
Meta Drake and she looked anxious
and sorrowful.
Her confdant was Reuben Black

stood just outside the fence where Reu-
ben had been raking hay, so pretty
in her modest muslin garb that his

As To Cold Storage.

IT, as the cold storage authorities
aver, cold storage, per Sc, is necessity,
a proper field Of enterprise-either
private or municipal-is opened up by
the present agitation over the tremen-
dous cost of living. Boycotts and all
other superficial remedies to one side,
the situation more and more calls for
foresight upon the part OF the Ameri-
can people.
In order to check the greed OF those
who would coin the misery and hunger
Of the people, the people themselves
must store food when food is cheap.
The cities might do well to establish
cold storage warehouses where eggs,
fowls and other winter supplies coulC
be laid away during the seasons OF
abundant production.
Sufficient rentals TO pay interest and
overhead still would leave the lesses
with a big profit if they purchased
eggs and winter vegetables available
for storage when those products were
cheap. Families might form clubs the
more easily to finance the purchase and
storage costs. Apartment dwellers and
persons living in small houses with in
adequate facilities for keeping proVis'
ions in quantity would find such an in
novation Of special value.
The truth is that the opulent willing
ness Of the average American citizen
TO have everything done for him and
TO pay up is largely responsible for the
present state OF affairs. Having deliv-
cred themselves over to the cold stor-
age men and the makers Of corners,
they now wrthe in their shackles, but
with no definite scheme to escape

THE PRESENT ALONE is OURS.

Though thou shouldst be going to
live three thousand years-and as
many times ten thousand years-stlll
that no man loses any other
lila than that which he now lives, nor
lives any other than this which he
now loses. The longest and the short
est are thus brought to the same. For
the Present is the same TO all, though
that which is Past is not the same; and
so that which is lost appears TO be
mere moment. For man cannot lose
either the Past or the Future: for what
a man has not, how can anyone take
this from him?
These two things, then, thou must
bear in mind; The first, that all
things from eternity are OF like forms'
and come round in circle; and that IL
makes no difference whether man
shall see the same things during
hundred years, or two thousand years,
or an indefinite time. And the sec
ond, that the longest liver and be who
will die soonest lose just the same.
For the present is the only thing OF
of which a man can be deprieved- if 1t
Is true that this is the only thing
which he has, and that a man cannot
lose a ching If he has it not.-(Marcus
