oUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, july 1s, 1917.
OFF FOR FOREIGN FIELDS.
Miss Stribling, Miss Neville, Nir. Nor
man Go to China.

The missionary service held at the
Walhalla Presbyterian church last
Sunday morning was unusually inter-
eSt1ng and inspiring. 1t had been
announced that the Presbyterians of
the county would meet there to bid
Miss Frances Stribling God-speed, as
she goes as missionary from this
church and Presbytery to China, but
the churches of other denominations
in town called in their services and
Joined so heartily in the exercises
that we doubt not Miss Stribling feels
almost as If she Is Walhallas mis-
sionary, and not merely the Presby-
terians'. 1t was but another strik-
ing example Of the good fellowship
existing among the several church es
here. In addition to this, there we're
visitors from Seneca, Richlan d,
Bethel and other points in the coun-
ty, SO that the church was filled al
most to it's full capacity.
The sermon was preached by Dr..
w. S. Currell. president Of the Uni
versity Of South Carolina. His sub
ject was "The n ,del Missionary" as
exemplified in the life and teachings
of the Apostle Paul. AS he proceed
ed with the mastery development Of
his theme one could not help gettin &
deeper insight into the life of the
great Apostle and what it means to
each individual.
Alter the sermon, greetings were
extended by the pastors Of the seve-
raj churches in town and representa-
ttves of some of the visiting churches.
During the service it was brought out
that Oconee is interested In three
missionaries who will sail on the
same ship that Miss Stribling goes on.
One Is Miss Neville, from Clinton,
whose father was reared in this sec
ton. Another is Rev. Clarence Nor
man, whose father, v. l.. Norman,
was also reared in Walhalla and wor-
shipped In the Lutheran church here.
The other Is Miss Stribling, who goes
from the Presbyterian church here.
Each of these young people has the
hearty good wishes of the people Of
Walhalla and Oconee. Their futures
In the foreign field will be watche i
with interest, and the high hopes of
our people that great success ma '
crown their efforts are, we believe.
strongly. supported.
The party will sail from Vancou-
yer, b. c., within short while. Miss
Stribling expects to leave Walhalla
Thursday of next week, and she will
be joined EN- route to or at Vancou-
yer by Miss Neville and Rev. and
Mrs. Norman, the party sailing to-
gether.

Volunteer Showings.
Comparison between the gross and
net quotas shows what any State has
done In furnishing troops by the vol
untary system. Striking examples
from the top and bottom OF the list
are Oregon and Arizona. Oregon's
quota was 1871 men, but the State
has 4,6S3 national guardsmen and
has given 1,974 war recruits to the
regular army. In all Oregon had
credit for 6,657 volunteers to apply
against her gross quota, which has
reduced her net quota to TIT men.
S. G. Figures by Counties.
Columbia, July lt.-With all du-
plicate registration cards in the Gov
ernor's Office and the Sc local boards
in South Carolina duly organized,
South Carolina has been reported
ready for the drafting Of this States
quota Of men for the great national
army. South Carolina is called on to
furnish 10,081 men. Official notice
Of the quota to be selected by each
board will be sent TO the chusrman

tlonal guard and regular army III ex-
cess of its quota. Unions quota is
274 men and the county now has
307 men in service.
The distribution Of the States
quota Of 10,081 is reached by taking

units. The enlistments in the regu-
lar army came from the Adjutant
General Of the United States. On ac-
count Of the coast counties having
men in the naval militia, which Is not

OcOnee knights Of lytllins to Pcinic
at Isichland Friday, July 27.

The members Of Seneca, Walhalla
and Westminster Pythian lodges have
| arranged for holding Pythian pic
ntc at Richland Friday Of next week,
July 9th. While this picnic is got
ten up by the three lodges of the
Pythian order IN Oconee, it Is in no
| sense picnic for Pythians only. 1t
will be public, and the public is earn
| estly urged and cordially invited to
attend. There will be at least one
speaker of prominence from dist
ance, who will deliver the main ad-
dress, which will be on the pertinent
subject Of Patriotism"
This picnic will be an all-day cele-
bration, and the public Is invited to
join with the members of the three
lodges, bringing dinner baskets we'll
filled, and attending the celebration
prepared to spend the day mixing and
| mingling with each other. patriot
ISM and tPythianism" will be the
keynotes of the addresses to be de-
liVered, and besides the speaker from
distance there will be one speaker
these speakers to deliver brief talks,
giving the major time to the visiting
| orator.
The Pythians want their friends
and the friends Of their friends to be
present. Pythianism penetrates to
every section Of Occnee in member
ship, and there should be represen-
tatiVes from every section Of the
county. If such is not the case, the
members of the lodges will be greatly
disappointed. They would like to
meet the whole county's population
If possible.
Don't pass this occasion up with a
mere thought. Make your arrange
mcnts now to attend, reserving Fri
day of next week, July 27th, as your
day for recreation and Communicating
with your friends of the lPythian or
der and their friends. This Is not an
occasion on which the people will be
brought together and then presented
with some object for which funds
will be solicited. 1t is essentially
patriotic and Pythian picnic, with
no strings attached" 1t Is quite
probable that ladies representing the
Red Cross Association will serve ice
cream, lemonade, ETC., the proceeds
to go to the Red Cross fund, but no
contaibuti0ns will be solicited, and
the buying of the refreshments will
be entirely matter for the choice Of
those who attend.
The members Of the knights Of
Pythias in Oconee. with their breth-
rem Of the Townville lodge who have
been invited to join with them on
this OCCASION, cordially invite the
people Of Oconee to meet and picnic
with them on this occasion. Great
good can be accomplished by such
gathering, and Richland affords
splendid picnic ground, the beautiful
grove at the school house presenting
every feature calculated to give COM
fort and pleasure to large crowd.
You should not fail to attend; you
should interest others in this occa-
sion. And remember to bring the
well-f1lled picnic baskets. This will
insure abundant food for the body as
we'll as for the mind.

RAB|D COYOTE KILLED
NEAR ALMOTA MONDAY
FrcnZied Animal Chased Hogs and
IiattIcd with Family Doe-lEN-
animation Gives Positive Evil
dcnce of Rabies

Positive evidence of rabies was
discovered Wednesday afternoon by
members of the veterinary faculty OF
the State College in a microscopic eX-
animation of the brain of "a coyote
killed Monday by r. F. HaXton near
Almota. Mr.. Haxton is farming the
j. w Haines farm, Is miles south
west of Pullman and five miles east
of Almota. Monday morning he was
attracted by an unusual comm otion
among his hogs and observed a
strang acting coyote among them,
the animal holding his head
high in the air and running along
with the hogs, toward the house.
The family dog sailed forth to do
battle with he intruder, but got
considerably the worst of the argu-
ment, the coyote biting him severely.
The coyote showed no signs of fear
and following his conquest of the
dog started lesurely down the road.
Mr.. Haxton started after the ami
NAL on horseback and soon located
him in a nearby field. The coyote
observed his pursuer and imm ediate-
ly turned and started slowly toward
him. Mr.. Haxton waited until the
animal was within about % steps of
him and fired, two shots being re-
quired to kill the coyote. Fearing
rabies, Mr. Haxton dispatched his
dog, which had been bitten in several
places, and brought the coyote car
cass to Pullman for examination.
Inasmuch as there are a large
number of unmuzzled dogs in the
Haxton neighborhood, fears are felt
that the coyote may have inoculated
some of them with the germs of the
dread disease. The farm ers OF that
district are urged to exercise every
precaution and watch closely for
signs of the disease, at the same time
muZzling their CANNES.

COUNTY WINS IN ELECTION CASE
Judge McCrosl<ey SustRins Demurrer
to Complaint of Mrs. Mathews

Last Saturday Judge McCrcskey
sustained the demurrer entered by
the county to the complaint of Mrs
Serena Mathews ct al, in the suit
brought to compel the county com
missioners to pay claims for services
as election officials on the basis of
the eight-hour law. Former Prose
cutor Burgunder filed demurrer in
the justice court at Pullman, which
was denied. and the case was APP
pealed to the superior court. The
demurrer states that the complaint
fails to state facts sufficient to con-
stitute a cause of action, in that the
eight-hour law does not apply to
work on election boards.
Arguments on the demurrer were
made by Prosecutor Clegg and Attor-
ney Mathews before Judge McCros-
key several weeks ago and the latter
took the matter under advisement.
On Saturday Judge McCroskey rem
dered decision sustaining the de-
murrer, and it is thought that Prose
cutor Clegg will move to dismiss the
case. -Palouser.

PIONEER CITIZEN TO
RETURN TO PULLMAN
Judge Thos. Neill Will Return TO
City of His Adoption After Seven
Years in COlfaX

Judge Thos. Neill, who assisted
materially in making Pullman his
tory during the years of the town S
infancy and after it had assumed
greater proportions, has announced
his intention to return to the town
of his adoption and will again be a
full-fledged Pullman citizen very
shortly, The announcement will be
greeted with a great degree of sat
isfaction by the many old-time Pull
nantes who remember the valuable
services rendered by Judge Neill in
the interests of the municipality dur
ing his long residence here. Judge
Neill left Pullman seven years ago
upon election to the superior judg-
ship of the county. His residence in
the county seat town has been
marked by the same enthusiastic in
terest in that city's progress and de-
velopm ent as attended his residence
here.
The following story concerning
Judge Neill's decision to return to
the college town is taken from
Wednesdays Colfax Palouser
Last Saturday the law firm of
Nein & Burgunder was dissolved,
the senior member of the firm re-
firing, and Mr.. Burgunder will con-
tinue the practice in the future.
Judge Neill will take a deserved va
cation from the practice of law this
summer, but will continue to reside
at Colfax at least until after school
has closed. After that. his plans have
not yet fully been made, but it is
likely that the family will move to
Pullman. where Judge Neill has
property interests, and where his
daughter, Miss Marjorie, viii attend
the State College.
Judge Neill is one of the pioneer
Whitman county jurists and his
standing in the profession Is second
to none. His loss to Colfax how
/
ever will be more keenly felt
through the services he has been
wont to render in the way of civic
betterm ent. His worth TO the city
during the years of his last residence
here is well-nigh incalculable. Al
ways a leader in all that makes for
the good of the community, Judge
Neill has perhaps contributed more
time and thought to Colfax's civic
problems than any other man during
the past several years. 1t is with
feeling of keen regret that the Pa
louser congratulates Pullman upon
the return of an honored and upright
citizen"
