THIS DAY WILL BE OBSERVED
BY THE PRESBYTERIANS OF
SOUTH CAROLINA, GEOR¬
GIA AND FLORIDA.
The following letter has been sent
us, for publication by President of the
Thornwell Orphan Home at Clinton,
S. C.
As Sabbath, the 5th of October, has
been set apart as the time for collec¬
tions for foreign missions and Sab¬
bath School extnesion work in the
Presbyterian Churches-, the Board of
Trustees of the Thornwell Orphanage,
which is- the Presbyterian Orphanage
of the States of South Carolina, Geor
giia and Florida, have asked that the
Presbyterian folk observe instead, Sat
urday, October 11th, as- Orphan Work
Day. The idea is -that everybody
should give that day’s income to the
orphans, and to forward the same
promptly to the President, Rev. W. P.
Jacobs, Clinton, S. C. The Sunday
Schools will take up collections the
second Sabbath, unless already at¬
tended to on the first, and at the
same time pastors are urged to pre¬
sent the needs of the work to their
people and to forward the contribu¬
tions of their people.
There are now over 300 inmates in
this institution and new buildings are
arranged for still larger increase.
About 200 applications are on file
waiting for admission. The institu¬
tion is denominational but does not r<
fuse children from any locality or
whose parents were of other or no
denomination.

MISS WlttlS
||T0 SCHOOL CHILDREN
TEACHER of DOMESTIC SCIENCE
IN NEWTON COUNTY SCHOOLS
WANTS ALL THE CHILDREN
TO READ HER LETTER.
To The School Children of Newton
County: —
You haven’t forgotten our School
Fair of last May, have you? 01
course, not, tho you can. never for¬
get as great an educational event as
that was! The day after the Fail 1 ,
some boys told me that they were
going to begin right then to get
ready for the Fair next spring. And
do you know that is exactly what I’vJ
been doing ever since?
All summer while I was in Vir¬
ginia studying, I was- looking for
things- that would interest and help
you most. I found something that I
am sure will delight all of you. Now
will you please gather the materials,
and keep them till I see you? Then
I 11 show you how to use them in
making pretty, useful things for your
homes and school-rooms,—“Honest
Injun,’’ I’ll tell you just the first
time I see you! (I hope none ot
you vvill die of curiosity in the mean*
time—none of the boys will, I am
sure!)
Get bulrushes, “cat-tail” rushes, or
any kind of tall swamp grass-, and
dry it in the shade, then it will retain
its color. If it is plentiful near you,
please get armfuls of it, for others
may not be able to get any. After it
is thoroughly dry, keep it some when
out of the d-ust. Now please do this
for me right away, before the grassej
get too dry.
When you hull your walnuts, keep
the lills, we’ll need them,— — —be
be sure to keep some “goodies.” too,
for we might want to make some
candy you know!
1 hope you are all interested in
school-work again, and that you will
be ready to start the day school opens
It is so important that you begin
with your class if you do not you will
muss getting information that you can
never make up outside of the school¬
room. Let’s make this the very
best school year possible, with a
Fair next May that will be the great¬
est ever held anywhere!
Yours for success,
CLYDE WILLIS.
Sunday School Association to Meet..

“What Does it Take to Constitute an
Ideal Sunday School.
T. T. SULLIVAN, Pres.
C. O. KIMBELL, Sec. /
W. C. T. U. NOTES.
The Law and Order League of Ma.
con, Ga., have a campaign on hand
for the purpose of closing every sa
loon in the city, and absolutely pre¬
venting the sale of even beer there.
Thir work received a great impetus
the night, of Sept. 14th when a grand
mass meeting composed of the con
gregations of twelve leading Metho¬
dist, Baptist, and Presbyterian church
was held at the city auditorium, when
not only the program was fully in¬
dorsed, but the dept of interest in the
work was shown by the raising of
$2,660 for the use of the League. F.
L. Mallary, president of the League,
Rev, J. L. White, pastor of the Vine
ville Baptist, and Rev. W. N. Ains¬
worth, pastor of Mulberry St., Metho¬
dist, declared from the platform that
the campaign would not cease until an
injunction has been brought, against
every saloon and locker club in Ma¬
con. Why cannot all of our towns
and cities follow this noble example,
and banish these breeding places of
crime from our state, that are bliting
the lives of our young men, destroy¬
ing the happiness of wives and moth¬
ers, and causing such wide-spread
lawlessness? Oh, that the peopl*
would arise in their might and say,
“It shall be done! ”

land.
It has ever been a Gentry custom
to give every child attending the
matinee performances, which com¬
mences at 2 o’clock in the afternoon,
a free ride on their finest trained
ponies immediately after the show is
over. This custom has- won them
countless hundreds of little friends
everywhere, who look forward to the
coming of Gentry Bros, with all the
delight that the average child looks
forward to thel dawn of Christmas
morning and the joys of Santa Claus*
The show will be given on Conyerfl

WILL VARNER PAYS
PENALTY ON GALLOWS
WAS A VERY NERVY MAN AND
WENT ON THE SCAFFOLD THE
COOLEST MAN IN THE
CROWD OF WITNESSES.
Governor Slaton turned down the
request of Will Varner’s lawyers and
a committee of citizens who went to
see him last Thursday and he was
hung in the county jail Friday.
Varner was exceptionally cool Fri¬
day morning. He slept well Thursdaj
night and ate a hearty breakfast Fri¬
day morning. He made a short talk
from the window of the jail just be¬
fore he was to he hung. He told the
people that he did not have much to
say. He said that they should all lead
a Christian life and not get into trou¬
ble. He said that he believed that he
Ivas going -to heaven and that he was
ready to go.
Sheriff Hay pulled the trigger of
the scaffold at twenty-nine minutes af
ter eleven o’clock and Dr's. Luke Rob
insou and N. Z. Anderson pronounced
him dead in ten minutes. The fall did
not break his neck, hut he never
moved a muscle after he dropped
through. This is rare instance, as
most men. when they drop turn around
several times and -in a great many
cases have a final struggle a few min
utes after. Varner never moved
from the time he dropped until he
was cut down fifteen minutes later.
Sheriff Hay ‘w-ith a great many oth¬
ers believe that Varner was a mur¬
derer if there was ever one. He has
made an excellent prisoner since his
confinement in the spring. Besides
Sheriff Hay, his deputies and four
preachers there were only a few wit¬
nesses.
