I
seemed always to be so friendly and
1 lively that he was general favorlte.
To be cut down in the prime OF his
young manhood is very sad, and we
can not understand why, but some
day it will all be made plain if we be-
,lieve the doctrine we preach and pro-
fess, and it is all for some good pur-
pose. To his widow and the little girl
l extend my tenderest sympathy.
The graveyard at Bethlehem is
much older than l had any idea. !
knew this was one of the old organ
izations of the county and one of the
first churches established, but l no
ticed one grave the headstone OF
which bore the date of 1908, more
than hundred years ago, and l was
told that some of those with simple
irocks at the head of the grave were
even older than that. And yet in all
these years it is not much larger than
many cemeteries that are OF much
more recent date. In fact, there are
as many graves at st. Paul's, and that
cemetery has not been there near so
! long. Even as young as am, can
remember when the first grave was
placed at st. Paul's, that of my uncle,
Mr. William Calvin Aull.
AS T stated, was in Pomaria only On
the Saturday before, and The Herald
and News, in accordance with the
statement heretofore made, will have
regular correspondent from Pomaria
in the person of Mr.. ]. w. Alewine.

we can at present and We hope soon
,, to be in position to handle them
promptly all the time.
Adam Aull was kind enough to take
me from Bethlehem over to Little
Mountain in order that might get the
train there for Columbia. And by the
way, I just can't help remarkins that
Adam Aull is ther ichest man in my
acquaintance, not maybe in money
and lands and stocks and bonds, but
in that which goes to make life worth
the while. There is no more big
hearted or more accommodating man
anywhere in my acquaintance. He
takes pleasure in it and by doing lit
tie acts of kindness his life is enlarg-
ed and he is made the richer by it
He has a fine country home with all
the conveniences and one OF the best
small farms in the county, and has
plenty of good things to eat and all
of it he takes pleasure in dividing
with his friends. There are lots OF
men who have more acres and more
stocks and bonds, but they do not get
one-half the real pleasure out Of life
that Adam Aull does, and they would
not take pleasure in being friend to
man like he does, and as a conse-
uuence their life shrinks while his eX-
pands, and after all, when you have
plenty upon which to live what great
er thing can you do than to be
friend to man and take pleasure in
the being. And when these men with
their large holdings and selfish lives
pass they will not take any of these
things along and there will be no hap
py hunting grounds over there for the
purely selfish soul. l was down in
that section again on the Friday fol-
lowing and took dinner with Adam,
and it was a real country dinner, just
such one as suits my appetite. He
had good baked chicken and some of
that fine noodle soup which carried
me back to the days of my childhood
at the Aull Hills when it was a fire.
quent dish on the table. And sausage
and backbone and cakes and custards.
Adam has two boys overseas.
1 spent Tuesday night in Columbia.
I had not been there since the legls-
lature met, and I thought l would
spend portion Of the evening in call
ing on the members from Newberry,
but Mr.. Mower had not returned and
Hub Evans was out and did not know
where to find DR.. Folk. went around
to theeJefferson to make a brief call
on the new governor, whom l had not
seen since his election. He is the
same Bob Cooper of Old and was glad
