Revival Meeting at
First Baptist Church

The revival meeting which had been
in progress at the First Baptist church
for II days came to a close yesterday
morning and Rev. w. L. Walker, D. D.,
left for his home at Danville, KY, yes
terday afternoon. Throughout, the
meetings were largely attended ard
from start to finish were full of inter
est. AS partial result of the meet
ing 33 candidates await baptism into
the fellowship of the First Baptis;
church. Several were received by let
ter and the spiritual condition of the
church and the community seems tn
be greatly improved. The blessings
coming out of the meeting are not linn
tied to the church which was respon-
sible for it. More than any meeting
which has been held in Union for many
years the services were attended by
the representatives of all churches.
DIR. Walker won for himself large
place in the esteem and affections Of
the people of Union. He is witty,
"uloOlC diio "ioS. 1kio 10 q Aho'St
pleasing personality and his methods
are above criticism. He hits a hard
blow at sin and is exceedingly tender
and compassionate in dealing with the
sinner He is outspoken against mod
ern society evils, gives the dance and
the card game no quarter, and strikes
a terrific blow at all forms of de-
structive criticism. He breaches in
the conversational style, has great
capacity for making truth transparent
and speaks direct message to the
heart and the conscience. He exposes
the faults and the foibles of the in
consistent church member in such a
way that one sees himself in the pic
ture and he silences the unfriendly
critic of the church with irrefutable
logic. He makes the cross central in
his message and does not fail to tell
of the efficacy of the blood. 1t is safe
to say that no preacher who ever came
to Union received more critical re-
ception or left behind more universal
verdict of approval.

TOLBERT KEEPS
PIE in FAMILY

Washington, June 8.-If the Re-
publican boss of South Carolina
should give to his brother, R. r. Toll
bert, the last worthwhile available
federal Office in South Carolina, name
ly, the collectorship of the port Of
Charleston, the state would be COM
pletely Tolbertized.
What Joseph w. Tolbert will do
for his brother, if anything, is not
known. 1t was reported some weeks
ago, however, that he was destined to
fill some desirable job In the mean
while, r. r. Tolbert is probably not
fretting that an exception might be
made Of him, for three of his sons
have landed on the payroll of the gov
ernment.
Joseph w. Tolbert, the boss, has
been nominated for the marshalship
of the Western district of South Caro-
lima. His wife is postmaster at Nine
ty-Six. The three boys of r. r. Tol..
bert are serving as assistant district
attorney of the Western district, clerk
in the prohibition enforcement office
and postmaster at Abbeville, respec-
lively.
This does not complete the list. Mrs.
Kirksey, postmaster at Pickens, was
Tolbert before marriage. The post
master at Clinton is said to have been
married into the Tolbert family and,
according to reports, young woman
member Of the Tolbert family is slat-
ed for a position in the office of the
internal revenue collector at Colurn-
bia. 1t is said that still another mem
ber of the family is serving on the
force of the prohibition enforcement
officer. HI. w. r.

RUSSIANS EATING
HUMAN BEINGS

London, June (By the Associated
Press).-A shocking story of despair
death and cannibalism in Russia was
narrated to the Associated Press to.
day by William Shafroth, son of for
mer Governor Shafroth of Colorado
who has arrived in London after a
years work with the American relief
administration in the Russian famine
regions.
The desperate people are eating hu-
man beings, diseased horses, dogs and
cats, he said. Cemeteries are being
dug up and long-burid bodies snatch
ed as food. In their hunger madness
the population are stealing bodies
from morgues and hospitals to eat as
food.
Mr.. Shafroth, who had charge o.
10000 Russians working for the re-
lief administration in the Samara dis
trict, is lean and emaciated after his
arduous work among the starving, dv-
ing and shelterless Russians. But he
gave ample proof that the famine
sufferers did not try to seize him for
culinary purposes, as had been report
ed while he was in Russia. He de.
clared, however, that a Russian mem
Der of the American relief administers
tion who died of typhus, was dis
inferred at nifht and eaten by the
crazed inhabitants. This gave rise to
the report that Mr. Shafroth had been
devoured.
In some respects the young Amer
can's narrative is unequalled even by
lie tragic pictures in Daniel Defoe's
journal of the plague year.
II know one instance" said Shat
roth, "where a distracted mother of
five children killed the youngest in
order to appease the pangs of the
rest of her youngsters, but the oldest
boy, cried bitterly when he saw his
mother sever his little brothers head
and place the body into a pot. II,
refused to eat the flesh"
In spite of these lamentable condi
tions in isolated districts. Mr.. Shat.
roth SAID, the general Situatio,
throughout Russia has been greatly
ameliorated as result of the charity
enterprise of the American people
The health, moral and spirit of thy
population were much better, he said
since the American relief administra
ton arrived ten months ago.
kmSxleasis' a holy name in ARassie
and Americans are regarded as super.
beings" said Mr.. Shafroth. "Pcoplt
fall on their knees and kiss the earth
upon which the relief workers walk
The Unitde States can have a solemn
feeling Of pride in saving the Russian
race from extinction"
Mr.. Shafroth said he believed tho
soviet government with all it's fault.
have come to stay.

|0lVUS MEASURE
I: | BEFORE SENATE

n Washington, June 8.-The soldiers
bonus bill was formally presented
tonight' TO the senate after first
effort by Chairman McCumber of the
finance committee to report it at the
opening of the Session had beer
blocked by Senator Williams (Dem,
ocrat) Iof Mississippi.
Senator Williams was absent from
the senate when Senator McCumber
presented the measure for the second
time but came into the chamber a
few minutes afterwards.
The bill automatically went to the
senate calendar.
In attempting to offer the bill soon
after the senate met at IL a. M, to-
day Senator McCumber said that "in
the very near future I hope to be
able to lay aside the tariff bill for a
day or SO for the purpose of consid-
ering and passing, if possible the
compensation bill"
|, Senator Underwood of Alabama,
Democratic leader, said if it was pro-
posed to pass the bill at this session
it might as well be considered now
as in July or August.
81 should be very glad" he said
'if the bill went over until after the
elections SO that the American people
might have an opportunity to voice
their sentiments on the subject"
Senator Underwood said he felt
''that the bouns bill, if passed, will
not work injury to the men whom it
proposes TO help" He estimated tn,
bill would cost anywhere from 81.
OOO, 100000 to $4,000 100000, and said
it was drawn in such a way that it
would have to be paid for in the flu
ture and thus would become bur-
den upon the former soldiers them
selves.
Informal canvasses of each side
have indicated that the bonus legis-
lation has a substantial majority in
the senate but whether the amended
house bill will be approved is probe
matical. In any event long fight or
the measure is expected.
Before undertaking to present the
bill to the senate, Chairman McCum-
Der made public both it's text and the
accompanying report from the fin
ance committee. The report estimat-
ed that the total cost of the legisla-
ftion xoula a<besssa6Ab,a5s.Asl,.sp spxeas
over period of 43 years from next
January 1, when the Legislation
would become operative. This total
is $250,O0O,O0O less that the estimate
| under the house bill.

MASKED MEN
SlEzE. COUPLE

Anderson, June S.-Robert w. Sulli
van, prominent young business mar
of this city, and Miss Ruby Floyd were
taken from an automobile in front OF
the young woman's home tonight BY
masked and white robed men and afte,
being driven three or four miles in the
country were warned not to be seen
together in public again.
The two were brought back within
few blocks of the young woman's
home and put out about As minutes
later.
Reports were current tonight that a
whipping had been administered tu
Mr.. Sullivan, but he denied that he
had been thus dealt with. He told DO
lice that he had been warned not to be
seen in company with the young wo-
man again.
About 10 o'clock two cars filled with
masked men drove up behind the car
of Mr.. Sullivan in front of the home
of Mrs Ada Floyd, the young woman's
mother, on east Benson street. One
group of men seized Mr.. Sullivan
while the others took Miss Floyd in
charge and the two cars were then
driven rapidly away. Mr.. Sullivan
and Miss Floyd say they were taken
three or four miles into the country
where the warning was given.
Anderson, June 8.-Robert w. Sui
livan, secretary of the Orr Cotton
mills, and Miss Ruby Floyd were kid
naped from an automobile in front
of the young woman's home here late
tonight by band of masked men who
"gave them a lecture" as they de-
scribed it.
The man was warned not to be seen
in Miss Floyd's company again, he
told police, but he denied reports that
had reached them that he had been
beaten. He and Miss Floyd and the
latter's mother, Mrs. Ada Floyd, in
formed the police that the men were
dressed in regalia resembling that of
the Ku Klux Klan, and Miss Floyd
asserted she was positive one of the
men was negro. The couple said
they thought they would be unable t.
identify any of their abductors.
Sullivan, who is about 81 years of
age and in addition to this business
connection is secretary and treasurer
l.ef the SQexh Carolina Cotton Manu-.
facturefs association, was recently
taken in custody at the home of Miss
Floyd but no charges were made. A
charge of "disorderly conduct" was
made against her, however, as a re.
suit of remarks attributed to her in 8
conversation with a neighbor who haC
complained to the police. She is about
18 years old.
The masked band came up tonight
IN two automobiles and four men put
Sullivan in one machine while three
took Miss Floyd in the other and rap,
idly left town. Police were informed
by Mrs. Floyd but the only clue they
had until the couple returned was the
marks of struggle around the cars
They were unable to ascertain which
way the cars went.
