Of that institution yesterday. The

bration of the signing Of the armistice

1t and 1t looked for a while as though
it was coming to a question OF whether
the faculty or the students were boss.
The following dispatch Of November

young man Of Glover, who is spending

Had Good Meeting. ra3f
"rhe recent meeting Of Synod was,
one of the best generally and most
largely attended ever held" said Rev.
]. e. Berryhill, pastor Of the Clover
Presbyterian church who was among
those in attendance. Being compare
lively new in the South Carolina Synod
am not as familiar with that body as
are some Of the older members but
still 1 was deeply impressed and
ministers who have been members OF
that Synod for years said that 1t was
the best meeting that they had ever
attended. The people Of Anderson were
very nice to us and did everything to
make our stay pleasant. We go 70
Bennettsville next year."
York County Horse Won.
"E. N. Stephenson,s mare Lady Fox
mopped up in the free for all al, the
recent Chester county fair" said q local
horse fancier yesterday. She won a.
prize Of $3.50 in cash for her owner and
I don't know how much her backerss
mopped up with on the side. Not much
though don't guess because the spoEts
were rather afraid Of the horse. She
is some racing mare though and with
some training she will set the racing
fraternity in this country on edge un-
less something happens. The mare'
was shipped into York county some
time ago by Carl Plexico Of Georgia,
and there is no doubt but what she is
some nifty animal Her owner recently
laughed long and loud at an offer OF
$500 for her." .=.,.aa
