,S<< \<><< ~

iumbia Monday after spending the
| Sabbath in Due West.
Rev. w. H. Stevenson and family
| of Clinton, S. c., are spending a few
days in Due West.
Mrs. Jennie Fleming Cain mas re-
turned to Laurens after several
days visit at the home of Mrs. Leila
Todd.
Mr.. Ralph Ellis has bought Miss
Sue Morton's home next to the home
of Prof. L. C. Galloway. This is a
desirable piece of property. 1t has a
fine orchard attached to the large
lot.
In the last few weeks there has
been much rain in this section and
the roads are getting cut up. So far
the farmers have hauled little ferti-
lizer or the roads would have been
cut up worse.
Mrs. Lena Galloway Moseley left
on last Monday for North Carolina
where she will spend few days
with sisters in that state going on
the latter part of the week to her
home a Blue Field, W. Va.
Rev. w. A. McAuley began a
weeks preaching at the Woman's
College on last Tuesday evening.
The preaching will run through Sab
bath night. The services will take
place in the Memorial Hall. The
public is invited. The time of the
service is 1870 in the morning and
z o'clock in the evening.
The Foreign Missionary Society
met last Wednesday evening in the
A. R. P. church. Mr.. Nell presiding.
There was a special discussion of
Missions. Miss Margaret Brooks dis
cussed Missions from the view point
of the local Y. P. C. u, Miss Robin
son of the Woman's College. from
the view point of the Y. w. c. A.,
and Mr.. Jessie Dale of Erskine Col
lege from the view point of the Y.
M. C. A. These young people were
each heard with interest and help
fulness.
Mr.. j. A. Balster of Washington,
D. c., is in Due West. He came
down to build the reel house for the
government to handle the kites that
will be sent up daily at the Govern
ment Aerial Station. Major Hemp
hill says "that this station has put
Due West on the map."' When the
routes for the air ships are laid out
this station will be on one of the
routes, so we are informed by Supt.
Cole.
We see that a convention of tax
payers is again to meet in Colum-
bia on February 9, to urge the legis-
lature to curtail the tax levy. These
citizens seem to be dissatisfied with
the present attitude of the legisla-
ture and of the Governor towards
the tax question. From remarks we
hear by our citizens the Governor
is not as popular as he used to be.
The idea seems to be that he is an
apostle of high taxes. This may be
an unjust attitude, but it is the one
now assuming shape in this section,
where the Governor has been un-
usually popular heretofore.
On last Saturday evening the Stu
dents Recital came off as noted in
