TEN, women, children--all need
M a change in summer time :an from

home and school.
It is profitable in dollars and in health.
Good business men and doctors all agree.
So don't decide this year that you'll stay

Decide to go and go nosv. But have
d esmtlete change, for in the greatest
change is greatest value.
I was 50 advised by a physician years
ago, and the question naturally arose,
sfWhere tnla
A Surprising Answer
A friend Of mine suggested Southern
California, which caused me great sur-
prise.
I thought Il a warm place TO go in
summer. But he convinced me other-
wise and so I went.
I spent July, August and September
there and slept under blankets ninety
nights. I never knew finer summer
climate. Balmy days, ideal for any sport,
and refreshing sleep were invariably the
rule.
But more than that, I enjoyed the
absolute diversion due to totally different
environment and atmosphere" that
really renews people who are tagged.
This same experience is near you, too
--only few hours away. For two weeks
or two months--it's worth your while.

Home of Her Parents Here.

Mrs. Lila Wayne Pugh, wife of DR.
G. T. Pugh and daughter of Mr.. ano
Mrs. James Epps, died at the home OF

one years of age and was one Of a
family of fourteen grown children
seven dughters and seven sons. Hel
death is the first to occur in this
large and influential family. Mrs

eight weeks.
She was married to DR.. Pugh Sept,
ember ID, 1905. while he was en-
gagged as a professor in the Columbia

made president of that institution
and it was there that his wife spent
her young womanhood rendering sig
nal assistance to her husband in his
educational work. Her joyful, happy
nature and lovable disposition endear-
ed her to all who were thrown in hei
company. Her strong Christian char
acter enabled her not only to brace
but to furnish an inspiration for many
discouraged students.
Her short life was a splendid sue,
cess and many a heart will be sad
dened over her demise. She is sur
vived by three children, also her hus-
band and aged parents and thirteen
brothers and sisters who are: Mrs
D. P. Frierson, Mrs. Seldom Bry-
an, Mrs. H. M. Wilcox, Miss Ossie

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR MEET
Young People Enjoy Delightful Day
at Presbyterian Church.

(Reported for The County Record)
The one day convention of the
Christian Endeavor Society, which was
held yesterday in the Presbyterian
church was a most splendid a: d sue
cessful gathering Of the young peo-
pie and their friends. The young
people count themselves very fortu-
nate to have had the inspiring and in
structive addresses by Mr.. Charles S.
Evans, secretary of the Southern
States. The first session convened at
4:30 p. m, when Mr.. Evans devoted
himself mainly to answering ques-
tions asked by the Endeavorers in
regard to the several departments Of
of the Christian Endeavor Society.
The evening session at 7:30 was
also helpful and inspiring. Chris
tian Endeavor stands for service
training young men and women fol-
definite Christian service. Eighty
eight different denominations have
organized Christian Endeavor Socie-
ties: It is, therefore, inter-denomi-
national and has grown by leaps and
bounds and is today growing more
rapidly than it ever has. Mr.. Evans
says that he could give a recipe that
never would fail to rejuvenate a dy-
ing Christian Endeaver organization
and would be solution which might
at any time and any place arise con-
cerning Christian Endeavors. This
recipe was composed Of at least four
ingredients: 1st, conservation; End,
information; 3rd, a vision; 4th. per-
severence and faithfulness in service.
All present went home with a higher
purpose to live more for the Masters
glory.
Other pleasing features of the con-
vention were the presence of Rev. w.
R. Pritchett and a number or his
young helpers from Indiantown; also
that of Mr.. Albert R. Moseley, Jr.,
and his helpers from Salters.
Mrs. Glenn Mcknight, president Of
the Charleston District, brought en-
couragement and a challenge for real
service.
There is hard work ahead, but there
is also a great opportunity to al and
success will crown ones effort in this
field of service.

Rev. Mcdowell Accepts Call to Florida

The Rev. E. A. Mcdowell, until re-
Gently pastor of the Kngstree Baptist
church has accepted a call to the Pas
torate of the Eustis (Florida) Baptist
church and is now in Eustis looking
over the field.
From a folder issued by the Eusts
Board of Trade, we find that Eustis
is a thriving town of more than 1000
inhabitants and that it is situated in
the very heart of the orange grove
and lake section of the State. That
it is in Lake county, a county with
1,4O0 lakes, is $50 miles south OF
Jacksonville, equi-distant from the At
lantic coast and the Gulf of Mexico
that it overlooks Lake Eustis, one OF
the chain of lakes that have 300 miles
of shore line and is at the source OF
the famous Oklawaha river. Accord
ing to statistics published by the
United States weather bureau, Eustls
has one of the highest maximum
winter temperatures of any city In
the country and its maximum sum-
mer temperature is one Of the lowest
The elevation above the sea level IS
200 feet while the elevation above the
lakes is 40 feet. 1t is said that
health conditions arc ideal. The city
water supply is from artesian wells
and free from mineral flavor. Tne
educational interest of the town is
taken care of by a beautiful ne"
brick building erected at a cost OF
$4,000. The religious interest OF
Eustis is represented by seven church
es: Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist
Church of Christ, Episcopal, Catholic
and Christian Science. To the expert
with the rod and the gun, the locality
holds out many attractions. 1t is said
that the finest bass fishing in the
world is to be found there. Game
abounds pleEtifully, large as wcll as
small.
Mr.. Mcdowell does not expect to
move his family to Florida before
about the first of January and, while
the many friends of Brother Mack"
his good wifi and their family will
regret to see them leave, The Record
extends congratulations to him upon
being called to this Garden of Eden"

EXPECTS TO HEAR
THE REBEL YELL
COL. HENRY WATTERSON RE-
GRETS HE CAN'T ATTEND
THE REUNION.

Col. Henry Watterson, veteran
journalist, who during the Civil war
was publisher of the Chattanooga
Rebel, has written a characteristic
letter to the committee in charge Of
the reunion of the United Confederate;
Veterans to be held in Chattanooga,
Tenn. in which he exresses regret at
not being able to attend.
The letter, written from New York
and addressed to the chairman Of the
committee, follows:
"I wish it were possible for me to
attend the coming Confederate reun-
ion. 1t is not possible, SO you must
take the will for the deed. {
Chattanooga possesses many claims
upon my affections. It was there that
I found my dear wife, who after IS
years of devotion; still abides and be-
tween whom and myself the relations
then established remain unbroken and
unchanged. She joins me in the re-
gret that we can not together revisit
the scenes of our early love-,naking.
But at four-score and upward, fune-
tions Of every sort are beyond me.
perhaps it is we'll that I may not
again look upon the thin gray line,
soon to disappear forever from the
scenes of this world, for it might put
too great a strain upon an old mans
tenderest sensibilities.
"My love to the old boys. 1t can
not be long when we shall meet on
that beautiful shore, and when we
meet, be sure the Bonnie Blue flag
will be flying at the fore, and the
bands will be playing Dixie on parade,
whilst the pretty girls will be distri-
buting the Chattanooga Rebel to
groups of ragged, red-nosed angels
who have not forgotten the Rebel yell.
Sincerely,
Henry Watterson."

DECISION AGAINST CORBETT
Can Be Tried On Each Of Three
CHARGES of Murder.

Columbia, October 10.-Among the
twenty-five opinions handed down by
~the State Supreme Court today, chief
among them was the reversal OF a
lower court decision in the case of the
State against Carlos A. Corbett, of
Orangeburg county, in which the
court holds that Corbett can be tried
on three different counts for the muir
der of three men, alleged by the de-
Tense to have been one and the same
act. The court, sitting en- banc, says
that the killings were three distinct
acts and Corbet can be tried for the
killing of the other two men. He has
been tried for the murder of one and
acquitted.
Corbett, it is alleged, killed Bryan
Salley, Hugh Tanning and Julian
Cooper on the night of March 27, 1920,
in front of his home. He was tried
and acquitted on the charge of killing
Bryan Salley, and when placed on trial
for the murder of Cooper, defense
counsel pleaded former jeopardy and
aeouittal, claiming the three murders
tn be one act and offense. The trial
Judge sustained this plea and dis
missed the charges in the last two
cases. Subsequently the State appeal
ed and the decision today sends the
case back to Orangeburg county for
strial. Justice cothran wrote the
Soinion.
