background was very pretty.
The entire presentation was greatly

LETTER FROM ESQ. J. G. MCCAIN

Editor Leader-A trip of 1,7OO
miles and visiting seven weeks in AZ
Christian homes in the country and
20 villages and towns, with 1876 per-
sons, nearly all Of whom are cousins
of the first, second and third degree,
and only one of whom was afflicted,
not word Of profanity was heard or
case of intoxication was seen.
The first visit was in the home of
an esteemed friend and cousin, Mrs.
], w. Lynn, formerly of Covington.
She and her accomplished daughter,
Corrie, have done a great work
among the mountain people, especial
ly the children, which is so often and
cheerfully attested to by words and
deeds of kindness. A practical dem
onstration of what these dear friends
have done for the spiritual uplift Of
the mountain children was shown in
an entertainment planned and exc
cuted entirely by mountain children
and young people. 1t was most in
spring occasion, and shows the great
things that can be accomplished by
Christian intelligence, with such ma
terial as the sturdy Anglo-Saxon
mountain boys and girls. The dullest
intellect will see much Of the beau
ties of the mountainous region around
Asheville, Biltmore and other places
of interest. So much has been seen
and written by skilled writers that
this scribe will only venture to say
that the half has never been told.
Due West, S. c., was the next place
of interest visited. 1t is reputed !
to be the moral and intellectual CEN
ter Of A, R. P.-ism. Erskine College,
the theological seminary and Wo-
mans College are located there. Few
colleges Of like endowment and equip
ment have accomplished as much |
good as they have for humanity and
Christianity.
If permitted / will have something
to say later about Clinton, S. c., the
home of Thornwell Orphanage, Rock
Hill, Charlotte and Riverside and
Riverside Cemetery, the resting place
of the parents of Andrew Jackson,
and the monument in the forests of
North Carolina which marks the
birthplace of Andrew Jackson.

Our county director of war savings
is this week announcing a quota for
this county for June in the purchase
Of war savings stamps. 1t is small
task that has been assigned, and
few persons investing even in one
war savings stamp will put him over
in his work for the month. One or
two limit buyers will go a long way
toward meeting the, entire quota,
which is S7,399 for the county.

you are to escape any future regrets.
