Rembert, Sept. 26.-Don't you like

Yes, especially If it is a preacher. But
you have seen them that chewed to-
balco and sat on goods boxes at store
fronts and whitted and when they
went into the pulpit they were little
better than the beating Of a tin pan.
The Methodist preacher here, Mr..
Derrick, is a growing man. This even
ming he preached an excellent sermon
on the text What shall 1 do then
with Jesus. who is called the CHRIST ?"
He said we are facing three crises: the
world war, the boil weeviI and last
and greatest, the Christ, and showed
how we were trying to meet the first
, two, which we might in some way
avoid, and asked what we are doing
to meet the last
This fact was brought home to
some of us: that the man who is not
willing to, and is not doing his bit for
his country is a Judas, an Arnold.
That is it exactly. Is America your
country, either by birth or adoption t?
What are you doing for it in the
swelling Of the waters?
Miss Amelia Mayer Of Newberry is
the efficient teacher of the Stateburg
high school. and has come not simply
to draw her salary, but to teach. We

Reduce Fire Loss.

Columbia, Sept. 2i.-Help to reduce
the shingle roof fires by advising the
people at this season of the year, that
they should put a piece of old sheet
zinc or an old discarded dry cell bat
terry in their fire places and stoves.
The fumes from this will rid the CHM
neys of SCOT and save money and
houses.
Help prevent fires by urging people
to rid their cellars, garrets and prem
ises Of trash. Have no greasy rags
about the house to start spontaneous
combustion fires. Do not put ashes Of
any kind i'm wooden boxes. Replace
weathered shingles with tin or some
|non-cOmbustible roof and see that
the electrical wiring has not the in
sulation worn off and is in good order.
Help save the property of the peo-
pie. This may not reduce insurance
rates but it will save loss to many
citizens.

times however, it is an operation that
may require the better part of q,
