Trees and Fires.

It is doubtful whether any single
agency has caused more fires than
Christmas trees. These are covered
with inflammable ornaments and kept
until the branches are a. dry as tim
der. The practice Of decorating with
candles and lighting these in order to
beautify the tree is the main source
Of danger. There is something so
pleasing and satisfactory about Christ
mas trees that no one feels like Civ
ing them up. or opposing their use,
but they are a source of loss and dam
ger. Something should be done to
eliminate the danger, even though It
should reduce the number of trees.
Until regulations from the outside In
terfere with the practice it will be
well for every person who INDUCES in
the luxury to have. garden hose
ready for immediate use in case the
tree catches fire. Those who have no
means for extinguishing fire should
not have a tree-From the Kansas

Be GENEROUS
With ORPHANS
THANKSGIVING APPEALS FOR
THE BOYS. AND GIRLS
IN ORPHANAGES.

AS your thoughts turn towards
Thanksgiving, think of the orphan
boys and girls of the state, and
through your contribution help to
make their lives happy on this oc-
casion, remembering the words of the
Master, "It is more blessed to give
than to receive"
There are in the four church or
phanages of the state, 98S fatherless
children, who must be cared for. They
are divided as follows: 100 in the
Church Home, Episcopal, York, S. c.,
223 in Epworth Orphanage, Metho-
dist, Columbia, S. c.; $50 in Connie
Maxwell, Baptist, Greenwood, S. c.;
and 315 in Thornwell Orphanage,
Presbyterian, Clinton, S. C.. These
bright, sweet children must be fed,
clothed, trained and educated. The
support for their maintenance must
be provided entirely by the church and
individual gifts. All of the institu-
tions, due to the financial depression
of the past few months, have suffered
from lack of funds and their needs
at present are urgent.
A statewide appeal is therefore be-
ing made for a Work-Day Thanksgiv-
ing offering in their behalf. You are
asked to contribute at least one days
wages, or the proceeds there from, to
the orphanage of your preference.
This is small request we are max
ing for these orphan children, and one
day donated to the "homes of the
fatherless" will work a hardship up
on no one. Each of the institutions
hopes to share richly from this Work
Day Thanksgiving Appeal. The
Methodist in South Carolina are asked
to turn their help to Epworth Orphan
age, the Baptist to Connie Maxwell,
the Episcopal to the Church Home,
while the Presbyterians will give their
aid to the Thornwell Orphanage.
The appeal is urgent. The orphans
must be remembered. Send in your
contribution, thereby helping to pro-
vide for the care of these boys and
girls and bringing happiness and Joy
into their lives. "f-

God and the Father is this, To visit

Red Cross Triumph in Dixie

Atlanta, Ga. Nov. 16.-Southern Di-
vision Headquarters of the American
Red Cross sees a veritable triumph
of the Red Cross cause in Dixie as
a result of reports from every sec
tion of the Division en- the results Of
early Roll Call activity.
The South, these reports indicate,
is keenly alive tc the Importance of
the peace time program of the organ
i.ation and the response to the appeal
of The Greatest Mother is believed
ample assurance that the work now
being attempted will be carried on
throughout the coming year and pos
si5ly extended so that every commun-
ity in the Division will feel and know
its benefits
This has been made possiblessolely
through the whole hearted co-opera-
ton of people in every walk Of life
throughout the section. Big business
has recognized the benefits that ac-
crue to it from participation in Rec
Cross activity and the response has
been generous, and organized labor
has been no less quick to grasp the
opportunity to aid cause that is one
e the prime factors in our national
life in adding strength and force to
the masses.
In fact, practically every labor lead
er in the South has not only enrolled
himself as a Red Cross member, but
has given his enthusiastic endorse
raent of the Red Cross program.
The doctrine of Red Cross service
has been preached from hundreds of
evangelical prlpits in the South and
at the same time it has been made
the subject cf endorsement from pre-
late and priest, in church and in syna-
gogue.
In fact the cooperation has been
as widespread as the cause to which
it. is given. AS a result Division
Headquarters officials predict that de-
suite the uncertainties of the times,
the South will smash all its records
for response to the annual appeal OF
this great national organization.

Fire Destroys Sawmill.

Salters Depot, Nov. 16-Fire last
Sunday destroyed the sawmill near
here, with loss of about $4,000 to
the owner, Mr.. J. H. Montgomery.
Through the heroic efforts of those
who went to the fire, the lumber was
saved. 1t is thought that the mill
was set by unknown parties. Blood
hounds were brought to the scene
but with no success in locating any
persons.
