LARGE ENROLMENT
THROUGHOUT STATE

Columbia, July 27.-The heaviest
Democratic enrolment the State
ever knew is indicated by advices
reaching Columbia Wednesday, fol-
lowing the closing of the enrolment
books Tuesday evening. State Demo
cratic committee officials have re-
ceived from various points indicate
that the enrolment was heavy, swell
ed largely by the women voters.
Harry N. Edmunds of Columbia
secretary of the State Democratic
executive committee, stated today
that he had sent a letter to all coun.
Ity committee secretaries, asking that
they report to him as soon as posi-.
BILE on the enrolment figures, so that
he will know how many ballots to
have printed this year.
In the city of Columbia the en-
rollment is nearly double what ii
was in 1920, and the percentage OF
women whose names appear on the
club roll is large.

CHARLESTON ENROLLS
OVER TEN THOUSAND

Charleston, July 27.-On the face
of the enrolment books, which clos
ed Thursday at noon, 10,457 men
and women in the city of Charleston
qualified for the approaching pri-

Ter was in the office of the county

the names in order that, pursuant to
law, they may be published for in

SIS COAL FOR NEW

New York, July 27.-With retail
coal dealers here predicting that
coal will cost $500 a ton this win
ter with substitutes likely unless
the strike is settled or the govern
ment steps in and regulates prices,
a new angle developed after a meet
ing of officers of the longshoremen's
union where the question of hand
ling coal shipments from England
was discussed. Anthony J. Chopek,
president, declined to indicate wheth
er a plan of action had been decided
upon.
Coal dealers said that public util-

as are gas and electric companies

Pastor Howard L. Weeks will
preach Sunday at HOO a. m. on
the subject, "The Challenge of OPP
portunity and Adversary" The $3.50

have the regular meetings of the B.
Y. P. U. on Wednesday nights dur
ing August while the pastor is out
of town.
These are trying days on the
Sunday School attendance. The teach
ers are exhorted to be present
promptly or secure a good substitute.
The attendance last Sunday was II
short of the 200 mark. Let us try to
make it 225 next Sunday.
Rev. C. A. Jones, the Educational
Secretary" of Dur Baptist State Con-
vention will preach Sunday, August
9Th at II a. m. DR.. Jones is a very
attractive speaker and will doubtless
bring an interesting message to all
who will hear him.

A HAND.

There were a good many pupils in
the city schools who were conditioned
on their last years work, and who
are able to make up the work in
which they were conditioned if they
be given a chance. A notice in to-
days issue of this paper brings the
news that Maj. Fulp and a corps of
teachers will run a three weeks
school here, beginning August 7th.
for the purpose of allowing such pu-
pills to remove conditions and thus
be enabled to enter regular grades
this fall.
Parents should read the announce
ment, look up the grade cards of
their children, and if any of them
have been conditioned on n or
more studies, should consult the Su-
perintendent at once.
The Superintendent has finished
his work in Columbia and will be at
home the end Of this week or early
next week. He can be found at his
residence or at some convenient
place in the city by appointment.
Nothing ~discourages a pupil so
much as being behind the other
pupils in his grade and every ambi-
tious pupil will seize every opportu-
nifty to get in the regular work. The
three weeks school is going to be of
immense help to these pupils. But it
will be of equally as much benefit
to other pupils. Teachers who are re-
quired to do extra work on irregular
students are forced to give that much
less time to their regular classes.
The result is that the whole grade
suffers when a few of the pupils of
the grade require special work at
the hands of the teacher. Every pa
tron of the schools will therefore
welcome, the work outlined in the no.
tice. We trust that every aid will be
extended to the teachers and that
they may be enabled to do ever more
than they anticipate.

OLD RECORDS.

of the annual Catalogue of the

and others.
In the freshman class are the
names of such men as Robert w.

In the scientific and primary de-

A brief history of the institution,
states that Gin 1886 the institution
was organized, and that during the
first four years of it's existence it
was confined to the simple object of
fitting young mel for college,"
BOARD, including washing and
lodging could be procured at from
$3.50 to $3.50 per month";.

DISTRICT BIBLE SOCIETY
MEETING WELL ATTENDED
eeth Anniversary Held at Greenvale
Church Wednesday-"Centen-
NAL" Here July 1928.

The Goth anniversary OF the Able
vile District Bible Society held
at Greenvalc Presbyterian church,
near Shoals Junction, was a very
.rleasant occasion. The attendance
was good. DR.. John G. C~linkscales
delivered a fine address; one of the
striking points was the emphasis he
laid on the need of the Bible being
not only recognized, but taught in
the public schools.
The contributions were gratifying
and the dinner served in the grove
after the work of the society was fin
ished, was the best ever. The writer
was reminded of the good dinners
that used to be served at Donalds to
the soldiers returning home from the
war in '65; then as a small barefoot
boy, with father a prisoner in the
extreme North, and very little to
eat at homie, we filled up on the
fragments after the veterans had
Toasted and the fast train had NOV
ed on. Surely the mantle of the mo-
theirs of that day has fallen on capa-
BILE shoulders.
Now we want everybody to think,
talk and get ready for the grand
Bible Society rally "the Centennial
meeting" to be held in Abbeville the
last Wednesday in July 1928.
