chased by the government several
years ago and the appropriation ask

ing the building. Shortly after the
site was purchased a bill was intro
duced asking for $25, 900 for building
purposes, but this sum was inadequate
and a committee of Dillon citizens
went to Washington and asked that
it be stricken from the bill. The war
came along and the government
adopted the policy of making appro-
priations only for those things that
were necessary in the prosecution of
the war, and hence no appropriation
has been ayailabls for the past three
years. PR. Stoll askes for an appro-

MINISTER HAS STRICT RULES
Allendale Preacher Requires Health
Certificate for Marriage.

In last weeks Allendale Sentinel
the Rev. Rufus Morgan publishes the
following statement of his position
in regard to performing the marriage
ceremony.
THE reason l did not perform the
marriage ceremony for the couple as
reported in The Sentinel of two
weeks ago is this:
"The church part in such a cere-
fhony is to pronounce Gods blessing
on the couple who are to live togeth-
er as man and wife. If 1t is to be more
than empty form the church's repre-
sentative (the minister) should try.
to avoid pronouncing blessing upon
anything which according to Gods
laws, can not be curse.
"In following such precaution I
make some very simple rules:
81. I require certificate from a
reputable physician that the appli-
cant is free from venereal disease or
any disease which will bring curse
upon the couple or their offspring.
"2. require adequate notice to
allow me to investigate the character
and former life of the applicants.
g. OF course i do not perform
the ceremony for divorced person.
These should be laws of the state
as well as laws of the church. So far
they are laws Of neither. So / make
the rules for my ministrations for the
sake Of the present and coming gen.

If any soldier did not secure all oi
the above property on discharge, he
is now entitled to receive it. Upon
request Of any soldier I will send the
necessary blank to be filled out to en-
able him to obtain any property which
was not given to him upon his dis
charge. Officers and enlisted men who
have returned the gas mask or he'll
met may make similar application
for these articles that they may be
