very rainy summer, and land was
much packed, so even cotton would be
benefited by some rain. There isl
much of an intermediate planted corn
which would be greatly improved.
Also peas, potatoes, etc., well,
about everything except fodder out
Of doors, and hay.
Fodder pulling is on hand, and
much has been saved in good condl-
ton.
There is some good corn around
here, especially where it was highly
fertiized, as the rainfall was good
for II.
Cotton mas begun to open freely,
and picking will soon begin. 1t seems
that the further we go into the sea-
SON the more the crop begins to dwin-
ole. Looking across field from the
road, at the plant growth, is no indi-
cation of what is in the field.
We have just had two weeks
since crops were planted, and now it
is hot. Only one day in August, the
1st 96 degrees, was hotter than it is
now, 95 degrees. From the 9th to the
31st the temperature never arose to
80 degrees so "the cool week in Aug
ust%was about the entire month. Let
me give a summary, as taken from
the cooperative weather bureau sta
ton here. to wit: Mean maximum
temperature 86.3 degrees, mean mini
mum 6S.3 degrees, mean 77.3, high
est 96, on the 1st; lowest, Sd, on the
10th. Total precipitation $50. Great
est in "a hours 3.34, date, 10th. Rainy
days, 10; clear, 13; partly cloudy, IL;
cloudy, g. Prevailing wind direction
east. Some days in the month the
highest temperature was as low as to
be in the seventies.
Miss Rue Ray Trotter of Bates
burg spent he past fortnight visiting
her sister, Mrs. NJ. R. Jeter, Jr.
Miss Lucy Gilmore, who taught at
Poplar Springs, N. c., and who has

sumo her duties at the same school.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Moss of Irwin,
Tenn, and Miss Dot Moss of Ruther-
fordton, n c., spent he last weekend
with their parents, Mr.. and Mrs. R. E.
Moss. =
Mr.. Paul Gilmore of Kingston spent
few days in Santuc visiting rela
tives.
Mr.. and Mrs. Manning T. Jete1
spent the weekend with Mrs. Jeter's
mother in Greenville and Mr.. and Mrs

1t has been announced that a series
of meetings will begin at the Carlisle
Baptist church on next Thursday
night, Sept. 7th. Rev. w. A. Stephen.
son will conduct the meeting, doing
the preaching. I was informed that
the church there tried to get Mr.
Arthur MSSims, of Heath Springs
and who WAS at the Baptist church
here, to conduct the singing, but he
had previous engagements. An in
vitated is extended to everybody ir
reach to attend.
The protracted meeting at the Bap.
tist church here, which began on the
fourth Sunday, ended Friday night
following. There were seven add
tions to the church: five for baptism
and two by letter. That may moi
seem many, but one would be great
saving" and would "pay". The
church was revived, which, the
preachers generally say, is health,
thing. While "looking on" and watch
ing the trend, it appears there is ;
closer bond of hrotherly love and fra
ternalism among the membershi,
than ever before, and also with tn,
pastor, Rev. w. A. Stephenson, whom
they love. The pastor had no hell
in this meeting in the way of :
preacher, but he had Mr.. Arthur r
Sims, of Health Springs, to lead tn,
singing, who was very great help il
that. He is a very fine singer, ant
revived the singing. His solos wer5
fine.
I hope these late revival meetings
first at the Presbyterian church-ot
which I newfoundland then the
Baptist church, will do a great goor
at this and surrounding sections.
have not heard if they will have one
soon atthe Methodist church.
