On last Thursday evening those
taat like a good chase, ccompanied
by the bay Of the hound, had this
pleasure. A large fox was turned
loose and given one half an hours
start and then the hounds given the
trail. In the parlance of the hunters
the chase was fine one, but did not
last over an hour or more. Those
who had the dead fox thoughtlessly
brought it on through town and stray
dogs struck the trail and made the
town lively with barking. Other dogs

Economy Home, an Institution
for Orphan Children.

There are 482 motherless, home
less children seeking admission to
the Economy Home, located at Kings
Creek, S. C.
What will bring you more real joy
on Christmas morning than the
thought that you have assisted in pro-
yiding for them home where they
will be cared for by loving, skilled
hands, provided with nourishing food,
warm clothes and Christian training?
I The Economy Home is chartered
and licensed by the State. of South
Carolina. j. N. Nesbit, M. D., of Gaff-
ney, S. G., is president. 1t is on the
southeast side of Kings Mountain
battle-ground, two miles. of Kings
Creek Station on the Southern Rail
way on the backbone of a beautiful
high ridge, at one of the finest miner
al springs in the state, formerly
known as Piedmont Springs.
We have SO children and 482 ap-
plicants. "Please take care of my ba-
bies" is the dying request of poor
mother contained in a letter which
now lies on our desk. The last thought
of every dying mother is of her ba-
bies. Many of them know that there
are loving, tender hands to care for
their children, but oh! the anguish
of those who, have not this consola-
tion as they lay on their death beds.
Would that we had a thousand
tongues that we might tell you in
thundreing tones the appeal of these
dying mothers: "Save my babies,
please"
We lay the appeals of these child
rem at the door Of your conscience.
If you can hear their cries and help
them they will rise up and call you,
blessed not only while you live but
after you are gone. (.

Favored.

Last Sunday reminded US of early

with the little birds to the lovely sun,

Large attendance at Flat Rock
Sunday school. Many little children
and young folks, besides the older
ones, took advantage of the lovely
day.
Had it not been for our road su-
pervisor, Mr.. Edmunds coming over.
and improving the roads, we west
siders would have had to go in win
ter quarters ere this. It is almost like
town or city over here now, COM
pared to the old custom, at this sea-
son of the winter, and we speak OF.
this from feeling of appreciation.
We hope yet, to see several of the
small schools consolidate, also the
churches come together and form
pastorates, thereby having preaching
services every. Sunday, all being en-
couraged by the good roads system,
as that is the most disadvantage we
see in the way, unless it is the habit
we Southern folk have of hanging to-
the old custom of things. Let's try a
bigger way of doing things. e
Life in the country or wherever
we are, is just what we make it. We
should work six days in the week
wherever we are and give the Lord
the Sabbath, and if we do that con-
scientiously He will surely be near
us all through the week too. And to
spend Sunday happy and hallow the
day, we must live straight all the
week, for the Lord does not appre
ciate or promise to love and protect
those Sunday Christians.

order in question besides fixing ali
mony and fees, ruled out of considera
ton the so-called "confesison letter"
sent to Mr.. Stillman by his wife and
other letters alleged To have been
written to Mrs. Sti1lman by one of ner
husbands servants, Fred Beauvais, an
Indian guide. named by the banker as
correspondent. Mr.. Stillman charged
that Beauvais was the father of Mrs.
Stillman's youngest son, Guy.
Had 80 Days to Pay.
When the order was granted the
bankers counsel objected both to the
payments called for and the exclusion
of the correspondence. They declared
it would impose hardship upon the
financiers to give up s62.5OO on that
day and they were granted 30 days to
complete payment of the sun. Mrs.
Stillman's attorneys asked for stay
of trial proceedings until May 19, but
this was later changed to extend over
the time required for the payments.
Mr. Stillman's charges against his
wife were contained in his complaint
filed last July. The wife merely
denied the allegations at first, but later
took the aggressive. In an amended
answer she accused Mr.. Stillman of
being the father of Jay Ward Leeds, 30
months old son Of former chorus
girl and Of living with this woman
as Mr.. and Mrs. Franklin H. Leeds.

As one Of the terms he sug-

United States cancel condtIonaIly
the amount spent by Great Brit

was reticent regarding the mass meet
ing of labor held Thursday night at
which every union in the city was rep

a general strike was broached.
$50 far, no general strike has been
agreed on" Mr.. Ely said.
Electricians, plumbers and teamsters
have been out several days, in the
dispute over pay cuts. The employers
say it is strike, the men say they
are locked out.
Thursday nights mass meeting was
secret and resulted only, so far as is
known, in the appointment Of com

with the Associated Industries, on the
general situation. This committee and
one Of the employers, it is said, will
meet Sunday.
