munity towns in Hart county is Nu

A graded highway leads from
Hartwell to Nuberg, which is one of
the best sections of Hart county from ■
every viewpoint.
REV.
Rev. Dozier Thornton who was a I
pioneer minister more than a cen
tury ago and to whom reference has*
already been made in the historical
sketches of the churches of Hart
county, was often referred to as the
"traveling evangelist.” His method j
as an evangelist seemed different j
to what is popular of this day in that
he went into “by ways and hedges’’
and did a great deal of preaching. In
traveling through the mountains of
North Carolina on one of his preach
ing tours he spent the night at an
bumble mountain home. When
the time of retiring came he told the
family he was a minister and when
permitted always wanted to engage
in family prayer. The home con
sisted of a man and his wife. They |
both readily consented.
After the devotions were offered j
up the good woman expressed a de
sure to join the church, said it had i
been on her mind and heart for a ’
tong time, but that it had not been
convenient, no church near. Mr.
Thornton told her that he would be
passing that way again some time
he hoped, then asked her when it
would suit her and she said any time,
indicating her preference as quickly
»s possible that she was anxious, i
wanted to be baptized and said even i
tonight. This was unusual condi-1
t»on that confronted the minister, i
but her persistence was so strong and i
a creek was so near that the husband
fixed up a light and they went to
the creek and as soon as they found
a suitable place she was baptized and
"went on her way rejoicing.”
Method of “Starting
at Bottom” Given Up
For many generations the only way
«•> could learn to be a business man
was through apprenticeship. We
called it "starting at the bottom." Most
of wn were reared with a conception
•1 a business career derived from the
Alger books —"from train boy to pres
ident," writes Richard J. Walsh in
Century Magazine.
That this idea still persists Is ap
parent when we look nt the stories of
•access in some of the popular maga
zines. Steadily, however, formal meth
■•ds of education have gained ground,
the apprenticeship or “watch
«ne, ray boy," system.
Commercial education tlrst appeared
.in our public schools about 1895. It
grew naturally out of the multiplica
tion of industrial occupations. At
.toast one-fourth of the Jobs today are
int.terly unlike any that our grandpar
ents had to do, and many of them
such that the boss could not teach
them, because he never mastered them
Moiself. F. V. Thompson says:
“Commercial education was perhaps
th*’ first subject to be adopted by the
high school as a concession to the pub-
He desire that the school should fur- ,
•tab preparation for vocations,"
Uy 1915 we were spending more for
the commercial course than for any
other in our city high schools, and at
2»Taat one-third of all pupils In the
high schools of large cities were en
rolling in commercial courses, while
business training for adults was being
<offered in evening and continuation
classes.
Early Gatherings of
Baptists in Alabama
Lorenzo Dow, who is said to have
reached the distant frontier settle- j
■Mats of Alabama along the Totubig
bee as early as 1793, at the age of ■
twenty-seven, preached as a son of
thunder, says a staff correspondent
of the Birmingham News. He was a
Baptist. The first trace which the
writer finds of the presence of the
Baptists in Alabama is around Hunts
ville, but shortly after they found a
footing In the southwestern part of i
the territory in the neighborhood of
St. Stephens, the first captlal of Ala
bama.
Rev. John Nicholson had the honor
of organizing the first Baptist church
in the state. It is said that lu the
fall of 1831 a number of families met
and spread their tents near Elyton
and held the first campmeeting ever
held in Alabama. There were unusual
demonstrations among those who be
came interested In the matter of re
ligion. One who witnessed these pecu
liar manifestations thus described
(hem: “It was not unusual to have a
Hrge part of the congregation pros
trated upon the ground, and In some
instances they appeared to have lost
the use of their limbs. No distinct
articulation could be heard; screams,
cries, groans, shouts, notes of grief
and notes of Joy. all heard at the
aame time, made much confusion, a
sort of indescribable concert."

world is located near i Paula,
California.

Sheriff Britt Brown and Deputy
Curtis L. Kay started out last Thurs
day afternoon after a car that con
i tained three men, —and supposedly,
J some liquor, (' •
Os course,- their supposition was
correct, but was not verified until
the officers had chased the roadster
and its occupants six miles to the
river, over the bridge, and then it
seem' d that half of Anderson county,
S. d-, was in the itinerary of the
trip that the bootleggers had in mind.
And every cross-country road they
saw sdemed to be the one they were
looking for.
Finally, the three men gave up the
: chase, deserted the cause, and thus
I ends the story of 26 gallons of per- I
fectly good (?) liquor.
As to whether the Hart county of
finals had authority to continue
their chase into South Carolina has
not yet been disputed by the three
men,—and nobody else is concerned
over that part Os the affair.
Last Sunday's captures by the
Hart county officers netted four
men, 12 gallons of liquor and one
roadster automobile.
On Sunday afternoon near Oak :
Bower on the main highway, Sheriff
Britt Brown and Deputy C. L. Kay ■
stopped a car containing 10 gallons
of liquor and arrested three men
giving their names as Jim Waters,
Bud Howell and Leonard Greenway.
Sunday night they arrested Elmer
Winters at his home and took 2
gallons.
The liquor was poured into the
Hartwell sewers.

Care Needed to Keep
Plants in Good Health
Gardeners are occasionally asked to
Inspect unhealthy window plants and
to advise concerning their treatment, i
Very oi'tefi, it" is found that the ill I
health of the plant Is due to mistaken '
kindness on the part of the owner.
For Instance, It is deluged with water
day after day, with the result that
the soil turns sour and the plant be
comes moribund.
Another not Infrequent cause of
trouble may be traced to erratic wa
tering; that Is, daily attention for a
time and then a period of forgetful
ness, during which the unhappy plant
receives no moisture, says Gardening
Illustrated. A third cause Is dot un-
Cotqmdnly tmveahle to the fact that
the ffiant IS placed directly In a draft.
It is not, as many suppose, the easi
est matter in the world to keep win
dow plants In good health, and It is
only by patient attention and close
observation that the cultivator learns
the exact requirements—the likes and
dislikes —of Individual varieties. Care
ful watering. < occasional weak doses
of stimulant and, ih the case of aspi- ,
dlstras and other fine-foliaged plants,
occasional spongings of the leaves, will ■
go far toward success in the case
of pot plants.
Suspicions Confirmed
The story Is told of an engraver In
the government printing shops at
I Washington who. at the time the first
' S2O yellowback gold certificates were
' Issued received his salary in these
new bills und decided to take a short
| trip to New York.
When paying his hotel bill In New
i'ork he handed the clerk one of the
yellowbacks, whereupon the clerk
turned it over several times, then re
fused us peUtely as he could to ac
cept It. snyjng that he had never seen
such a bill and thought it of no value.
“Why," said the engraver. "Os
course It'st gbod. I made it myself Just
last week."
•That’s what I thought," returned
the clerk as he rang for the house de
tective—Forbes Magazine.

Submarines
There are a number of things which
* make a submarine stay at varying
depths In the water. First, this de
pends upon the size and weight of the
boat; seeqnd, the density and condi
tion of Uie water, and third, the
, mechanism of the boat Some are
i built to go deeper than others. The
coast submarines are constructed so
as to stay at a more shallow depth.
Seagoing submarines are constructed
so as to remain at a depth of from 200
to 300 feet.
Cloth Made From Bark
A material, made from the bark of
the wild mulberry, Is beaten out with
wooden mallets and decorated with

canopy of tapa cloth is used by a
widow in Wanigella when she crawls

Days of the Guilds
The name “guilds" was given to cer
tain corporations or fraternities of
traders that grew up in the free cities
and towns of Europe in the Middle
ages. Free cities of this kind in Eng
land were called "boroughs." These
corporations were most powerful in
the towns of Flanders and South Ger
many. Each guild exercised a monop
oly in its own particular craft, in
return for which privilege the mem
bers rendered military service in de
fending the towns from attack. The
right to exorcise one’s trade Inde
pendently depended upon membership i
tn a guild, which membership carried
with it the rights Pf citizenship. The
guild was expected to supervise the
work of its members and to see that 1
it was of reasonable quality. Henry
VIII of England gave a death blow to I
the guilds by confiscating their prop
erty, on the ground that It was used
for surreptitious purposes.—Kansas
City Star.
Not All in America
The average Briton who knows any- >
thing about America never falls to
think that some American town names ,
like Oshkosh and Yuba Dam are the
funniest things that ever happened.
However, they forget the queer
town names In their own tight little
island.
For Instance, :here Is a Nasty In
Herefordshire and a Mucking In Es
sex. Norfolk boasts of a Great Snor
ing.
In Lincolnshire one finds Swlneshead
Cowbit, and Dripping Gore In Kent.
Yorkshire nlso has a match for Yuba
Dam.
It has Dam Flask. Then there are
other odd ones like Hellous Bump
stead, Toller Porcorum, Heck, Over
Wallop and Nether Wallop, Barton
in-the-Beans and Lynesack-and-Softly.
Sympathy
An untimely frost effectually com
pleted the mischief done earlier by the
Insect enemies of Mr. Perkins' pota
toes The tops of the plants, which
had served as pasturage for the pests,
were entirely destroyed, and with them
Mr. Perkins’ hopes of a crop. He was
not selfish, however, and could think
of others In the hour of adversity. Tn
the afternoon he was accosted at the
post office by a friend.
"Hello, Perkins'. How's everything
up to the corners?”
“Trouble enough. Williamson, trou
ble enough!" was the gloomy response.
“Ten million potato bugs, and nothing
for ’em to eat Everybody’s Maga
zine.
Other Fish to Fry
The owner of an estate on which
there was a lake was annoyed to see
a stranger fishing therein. He ap
proached the trespasser and began to
abuse him.
“This lake," he said, “is privately
owned and I stocked it myself. You
must go away at once."
“Just a minute, sir," said the fisher
man calmly. “What did you stock the
lake with?"
“Trout,” was the answer. "And I
1 won’t have "
•That's all right, sir.” said the tres
passer unconcernedly. Tm fishing foi
