A LAY SERMON
BY Richard H. Edmond, Editor Man ufacurers Record

We constantly hear that the world
is looking to Aerica for spiritual
leadership. This is not wnolly true,
but, if it were the world would look
in vain until America ceased to be
pharasiacal as to it's own righteous
ness and realize that sin and crime
and irreligion are rampant through
out the land.
Until America has new baptism
Of righteousness, until the profes-
sing Christians Of the land realize
their own shortcomings, and conse-
crate their lives, their time, their
talents of brain and money to the
service of God and man, until poll
ticians and business men, employers
and employees, producers and consum-
ers alike, give full heed to the Di-
vine Command to love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart and with all
thy soul and with all thy mind, and
thy neighbor as thyself, and do unto
others as they would that they
should do unto them, there will be no
righteousness of nation fit to lead
the spiritual forces of the world to
higher ground.
There is spreading over our land
the accursed atheistic teachings of
German philosophy, more powerful
for evil than were all Germany's ar
mics and navies, and if America
does not give heed to this menace it's
downfall will be as certain as was
Germany's. The life of nation,
it's every business interest, in tin,
bank, in the factory or on the farm,
is staked upon a new and powerful
call to righteous living and Christian
service. When moral rotteness ex-
lists unblushing in places Of great
financial power as recently shown in
New York, without loss of caste,
when men lie and cheat in business,
when men seek to wreck others for
their own personal gain or aggran-
diZement, or power, when men mur-
der others becaus they are willing
to work the domination of alien rad.

will open at the county treasurer's
office next Saturday, October 18th.
Although the amount of taxable
property in the county has increased

tiicts have voted in favor of extra
tax levics, the total tax to be collect
ed this time is less than last year
on account of the county levy being

NORRIS

An interesting event Of WedIes-
day afternoon, October 5, was the
marriage of Miss Emily Inez Morris
and Mr.. Frederick Van Clayton at
the home of the brides parents in
Pickens. Rev. H. a. Knox, of the
Presbyterian church, performed the
impressive ceremony in the presence
of members of the two families of
the contracting parties. The home
was artis.ically and beautifully dec
Grated with ferns and cut flowers.
The bride was lovely in becom-
ing gown of blue cloth trimmed in
gray, with accessories to match. She
is daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. M.
Norris and all attractive, accomplish
ed and popular member # the social
set. Since Der graduation from Chi
cora College she has been an excep-
tionally successful teacher in the
public schools.
Mr.. Clayton is son Of Dr.. and
Mrs. l.. &. Clayton of Central and
is prominent in the social and polit-
ical world. At present he is the eff
ficient superintendent of education
of Picken, county.
Immediately after the ceremony

PICKENS STREET IMPROVE
MENTS.

The topsoiling of Ann street and
sidewalk has been completed and for
the first time since it was laid out
this street is in real first class shape.
The street was resurveyed, built up
in low places and cut down in high
places, and an entirely new sidewalk
has been located. The work was done
under the personal supervision of
Mayor Cureton and he deserves the
thanks Of the town for making the
big Improvement.
1t is safe to say that no other town
the size of Pickcns in the state re-
ceivcs as much time and attention
from their mayor as Pickcns receives
from Mr.. Curcton. Recently he has
been giving practically all of his time
to the town, and it amounts to some
thing, as he is man of unusual good
Judgment and business ability.
Speaking of street work, the plans
now are to sand clay Main street as
soon as the work on the waterworkS 5
and sewerage system will permit it.

CIVIL COURT PROCEEDINGS.
Several VerdictS Given for Large

Many civil eases were disposed Of

thousands Of business men stand by,
either from cowardice or indiffer-
