Colorcd man of Yorkyillc who went
to Mount Zion Baptist church near
McConnellsvilIe last Sunda" was
standing on the courthouse square at
the water spigot late Sunday night,
discussing the minister's sermon that
day with a colored friend. Said he:
Dat preacher down yonder today
low as how it take a heap o. tall; { on
fold de truf in a sermon. But ah
think dc trouble wild him to day was
he kept on cr-talkin' till he gradually
folded it all back up again
Schools for Adult llliterates.
I'm not quite sure yet, but I rather
think that we will. have schools for
adult illiterates over York county this
summer again as we did last summer"
said the other morning Superintendent
of Education John z. Carroll, when
asked about the matter.
Il expect to take the proposition up
with Miss vii Lou Gray, state super
visor of schools for adult illiterates,
Mr. Carroll went on to say, 'and I
should know certainly in a few days.
Since the state pays the bills I don't
know but what it would be a good
thing for York county to have them
again."
Fort Mills Ball Team.
THAT Fort Mill baseball team is a
game and peppery bunch remarked a
Horkvil!e fan in discussing the game
between Fort Mill and the American
Legion team of Iorkville, Tuesday aft
crnoon. II have seen them play four
games against the Legionaircs OF
Yorkville. They have won two and
lost two. But the thing that has i'm
pressed me about them is the fact that
they are on their toes all the time
whether the game is going against
them or for them. They arc clean ball
players, too, and mighty fine fellows
L
like Fort Mill come here"
Fish Had Disappeared.
"They let off the fish pond at home
last week." snid the other evening Mi.
J. Albert Riddle, referring 10 the fish
yond at Riddles Mill, on Glover M. :.
II don't think they caught more than
five pounds Of fish, practically all "l
them cats and suckers. There arc no
carp in the pond any more whereas d
few years ago there were hundreds. 1t
is evident that the fish of all kinds are
gradually leaving the pond and hndinE
quarters elsewhere. In 1921, If | re-
call correctly we caught about 400
nounds Of fish: but year after year
since then the number has been di-
minishinc. The small catch last week
was quite disappointment to those
who were fishing"
Deed and Greed.
SAYS Edgar A. Guest:
I'd rather see a sermon than hear one
any day,
Til rather one should walk with me
than merely show the way =,
The eyes Il better pupil ana more Will

Fine counsel is confusing, but exam
