THE WHY

Since the first current of electrici-
ty was turned on in Newberry I<have
depended on electricity for lighting
at my home. During many years l
have had to do what little writing I
did for The Herald and News at night
and by the electric light in my study
at my home which is chiefly my work
shop.
On Tuesday forenoon I was called
to Kingstree, owing to the death of
my sisters husband, the Rev. DR.. w.
w. Daniel. That is a long way, and
it took a day to go and a day to come.
Sol did not return home until late in
the afternoon Wednesday, expecting
to do some little editorial writing
and other filling, such as among the
schools and so on that night, but just
about the time the machine got ready
for work the lights went out. 1t was
somewhat like lecture I heard DR..
Steel make a faw years ago on the
Confederacy when he described the
time when the salt was out. Well, to
make "a long story short the lights
went out, and we do not have any
substitutes except few tallow can
dies and flash light. And the lights
did not come on until 7 o'clock Thurs
day morning.
And with the many things I have to
do during the day l can not write
much for the paper during the day,
and in fact have trained myself for
many years to write at night.
They tell me that this time it was
not the Southern Power company, but
the trouble was local. We are not
blaming or censurnig any one, but
just trying to give the why some
things that some people would natur-
ally expect in this paper are not here,
and to say 1 will try to have them
all ready for the next issue. None OF
us has any power over the elements
and the storms and the rains, and we
are all very small and helpless and
Insignificant in their presence, even
if some do think they are powerful
and independent and mighty.

Entitled to Rest

The annual inspection of the terri
torial battalion had taken place, OF
was about to pass off satisfactorily.
The band formed up and the band
major gave the order to march. The
musicians struck up a lively air, and
stepped off briskly.
On the left of the front rank, how
ever, there was a player of the big
bass horn, and, after marching little
way this man suddenly stopped play
ing and stood still.
Naturally this maneuver threw the
comrades moving behind him in con-
fusion.
"Move on, manv' roared the band
major. March! What on earth are
you waiting for?"
"B; aisy, sir, be aisy," replied the
bass horn player, "I'e got fifteen bars

Will give an historical sketch OF
the institute for the benefit of the
readers who may not fully understand
it's work or organization.
More than 35 years ago when the
women of the Southern Presbyterian
church first began to realize the great
need of better organization IN their
missionary work, small group OF
women, scattered throughout the
church undertook by correspondence
the agitation which led to the organl-
zation of the first missionary union
(now Presbyterial auxiliary. The
hopes and disappointments, the joys
and sorrows, the criticisms and mis-
understandings make story of deep
interest to those of US who are reap
ing in our we'll organized work of to-
day the harvest of that sowing.
These unions enlarged and strength
ened our work and enthusiasm was
gained there by all who attended
these meetings. One of our Presby-
terial visitors proposed an institute
for each county of our Presbytery.
The Importance Of this work can
not be estimated, and the results are
marvellous. The first institute hel
Newberry county was conducted by
Mrs. J. M. Workman. 1t is through
her untiring zeal, her patience, her
persistency that the institute has
made such rapid progress.
Next place of meeting, September
1922, with Smyrna church. Follow
ing officers chosen for another year:
Leader, Mrs. T. M. Neal.
Assistant leader, Mrs. V. C. Wilson.
Secretary, Mrs. C.. A. Matthews.
A splendid delegation from both
Aveleigh and Smyrna churches attend
ed this meeting. A resolution of
thanks was extended to the good peo-
pie of Whitmire for their gracious
hospitality.
I was requested by two members of
this delegation ito give an account of
this meeting to both county papers.
In their behalf / thank you.
