To Protect Christian Missions.

The new political status Of Egypt
carries with 1t certain provisos whose
exact limits are not yet defined, but
whose general character and scope are
known. The first proviso, however,
seems to insure the permanency Of the
Christian missionary work. Under the
new constitution all religions are free
and are protected by the state. In 50
far as they do not interfere with pub
lie order or morals. All Egyptian citi-
zens are declared equal before the law
and all are eligible for public Offices
and honors.
This situation presents to all Of the
Christian missionary work in Egypt an
unusual opportunity. The Christian
educational work is especially face to
face with q challenge seldom equaled.

Yukon Timber In Demand.

For all the timber produced In the
Yukon there Is local demand. so that
there is no export. During the great
rush Of mines In 1895 there was a
pressing demand for lumber for the
building Of houses. sluice boxes and the
other equipment Of mining camps.
SawmIlIs were established at Dawson,
Se1kfrk and whiteh0Fse. Large guam
titles of wood were required for fuel,
and that demand continues. Mining
also still calls for large quantities Of
timber for shafts ana tunnels.

Kaiser Bill Married Sunday.

The former German emporer, and
Princess Hermine, of Reuss, were
married Sunday at the House Of
Doom in Holland. where the war
lord abides in exile. This second
venture was in strange contrast with
that day in 1881 when, as crown
prince he welded Augusta Victoria,
daughter, of Grand Duke Frederick,
of Schleswig Holstein.
Several of the offspring of that
first union were present to set the
seal of family approval to the new
alliance.
There were two ceremonies, a civil
contract drawn up and signed by
"Hermine Reusse," as they affixed
their names; the second, a religious
ceremony conducted by the former
Court Chaplain DR.. Vogel, according
to the Lutheran rites.
The couple began their honeymoon
with no place to 60.

no appeal, but was ready to serve
the sentence if the mayor put him
in the work house. Then he walked
from the court house, again being
cheered.
"This case grew out of the chief
of police taking offense at a sermon
preached by Rev. Thompson against
lawlessness, when he said that the
law was not upheld as it should be
in Hartwell. Two weeks later the
chief attacked the minister on the
street and it is said but for the in
terference, of onlookers that the min
lister would have given the chief
good beating, although the chief is
a much larger man than the minis
ter, weighing about 200 pounds.
Friday morning the case was again
called against Rev. Homer Thompson,
and was dismissed by Mayor Rich
ardson. This was followed by a state
ment that Chief Locke had been sus-
pended from the police force.
"The board of stewards of the
church of which Rev. Thompson is
pastor went to Elberton to visit the
presiding elder and petitioned him
to have Rev. Thompson return to
Hartwell at the Methodist conference
which convenes in Atlanta next week.
And they guaranteed that he would
have a raise in salary if sent back.
The petition was a unanimous one
from the membership Of the Methodist
church, together with large unmber
of the citizens Of Hartwell who are
not Methodists. Rev. Homer Thomp-
son will 90 to the Methodist confer
ence next Wednesday, and Rev. w. L.
Pierce, the presiding elder, will pre-
sent the petition of the people OF
Hartwell for his return to that city
to serve them again"

PREACHER DEFIES MAYOR
TO INCARCERATE HIM.
Hartwell, Georgia, Wrought Up
Over Controversy With Police
Chief.

A special despatch from Anderson
November 8, to the Spartanburg Her.
aid relates the following story of an
over Jealous police officer and a
Georgia preacher:
"There has been much excitement
in the little Georgia town OF 1000
people just across the Savannah river
from this county, called Hartwell
over the alteration between the
Methodist minister, Rev. Homer
Thompson and the chief of police
last Saturday.
"The final chapter in this encount-
er which has stirred the people SO
intensely was written Thursday when
Mayor Richardson and the chief OF
police w. H. Locke publicly ,apologized
to the preacher. Men and women
rallied to the side of the preacher
and it is said that in the mayors
court when Rev. Thompson was fin
ed $40 that some women shook their
fists in the mayors face. One OF
the friends of the preacher paid the
fine, the preacher being tried in his
absence, as he was fulfilling an en-
gagement out of town. When he re-
turned he demanded a new trial, and
refused to allow the judgment of the
mayor and the imposition of the SIC
fine to stand.
Chief Locke admitted attacking the
minister, and after hearing the tes-
timony again the mayor fined the
minister $40, and a similar amount
to the chief of police. Rev. Thomp-
son said that he refused to pay this
fine, saying also, Il have no respect
for the court that yields to petty
low, mean politics over right and
Justice. If conditions have reached
such a point in Hartwell that man
can no longer defend himself when
he is attacked, then l want you to
put me in Jail, for that is the only
safe place for me or anybody else.
dare you send me to prison.
"Then the mayor called the court
to order, and said, Your sentence
for contempt of court is $40 and 20
Gays in jail Then Rev. Thompson
reached for his hat, and told the
mayor that he was ready to go, and
again he said, Il dare you to put me
in jail An outburst of applause
greeted this statement of the min
lister, and it was some minutes be-
fore quiet was restored. Counsel for
the minister gave notice of appeal,
but was interrupted by the minister
emphatically declaring that he wanted

Johnsonville High School News.

Especial to The County RecQrd)
The Johnsonville high school is en-
joying one of the most prosperous
terms of it's history.
It has always done good work and
in these eight years, solid founda-
ton has been laid, which has helped
ia make our present achievements
possible.
We are very fortunate in having
for our superintendent this year Mr..
L. E. Pope, Jr., who came to US after
a very successful years work in Weav-
erville College, N. C.
Opening in September with our in
creased number Of students over last
year, it was found necessary to Sc
cure another teacher, for the gram
mar grades. Also through the much
appreciated energies of the superin-
|tendent, together with the coopera-
ton of the splendid eleventh grade
has been added to our school, sew
eral members of which are boarding.
Our. latest evidence of progress is
the addition of a very enthusiastic
music department, in which twenty
eight pupils have already registered.
A very promising basket ball team
is beginning serious work, and gives
promise of being a formidable op-
ponent in some friendly contests with
neighboring schools.
There is a movement on foot to
bond the district, for the purpose Of
building a new high school building
and auditorium, which we hope may
be speedily realized as the present
one is very much crowded.
Our community was delightfully."-
entertained last Tuesday evening
with. a Halloween carnival, given by

Cheaper Coal Expected.

Coal is expected to take a decided
drop at an early date, depending on
the ability of the railroads to get coal
from the mines to the markets.
There is more coal for market than
for a long time, with the ground at
the mines covered and hundreds OF
cars to be taken out. The demand
is fair, but the men who must deal
the subject ere saying that the de-
mand for run of mine has fallen so
that it is not being sold in any con-
siderable quantity. The prepared
sizes are far in demand. The big
dealers in the East have stopped
bidding for coal for the simple reason
that it is not being called for at pres
ent prices.
The fact that coal is accumulat-
ing can be determined when one
takes a run to the shipping points
of the state-Norfolk and Newport
News, where the yards are congested
with cars and with few vessels call
ing for coal. There is less bunker
coal being taken than for long time.

..You are invited TO confer with us
in the matter Of credit and we assure
YOU, business under the new plan would
appeal to us.
In recommending the five year crop
agency contract between the individual
almond growers and the exchange, the
directors of the exchange explained
that they were not willing to continue
the operation of the exchange on sea-
sonal contract basis, because such sea
sonal contracts did not afford proper
banking credit. ''This is the nub of
the whole situation and the real cause
and necessity of the proposed re-organ-
ization,'' said Manager Tucker.
incidentally, however. he explained
that by providing the exchange with
larger banking facilities and giving the
individual grower n direct vote III the
exchange, which he did not have under
the old plan, the almond growers of the
state viii, be benefited financially and
made a larger factor in the almond
market Of the United States.
