MRS. ARMOR TO
LECTURE AT
BAPTIST CHURCH.
Mrs. Mary Harris Armor State Or
ganizer of the W. C. T. U., will lecture
at the Baptist Church; Dec. 20th., at 7
o’clock. Mrs. Armor has lectured in
most'every state in the union and has
an international reputation as a speaker, j
‘‘Probably not since the days of
Frances E. Willard, the great found
er of the world’s W. C. T. U., has there-
appeared a woman of such inborn elo
quence and marvelous power to sway
the multitudes with the mighty two-
•dged sword of truth as Mrs. Mary Har
ris Armor, President of the Georgia
Woman’s Christian Temperance Union.
Her burning 3atiro and sparkling wit,
her mighty grasp of truth, her perfect
ly natural and unaffected way of
presenting it, born of desperate earnest-
noss, her magnetic personality, and
above all her absolute faith in God,
make her one of the most powerful fac
tors on the American continent in the
overthrow of the liquor traffic.Nash

The negro Jule Daggett, or
kin, arrested for the killing of Mr. Zach
Kendrick at Delph, has irnplicatee two
other negroes Henry Henderson and
Eli Cobb, who have been arrested and
lodged in the Appling Jail.
Daggett claims that he met the two
negroes shortly after the killing and
that they told him and another negro
they had killed Mr. Kendrick and that j apl en did wife
they gave him and the other negro $2.00 J litt)e home
a piece to keep their month shut.
The negro who Daggett or Lampkin,
implicatad as having been with him,
was arrested, but upon investigation it
was found that he knew nothing of the
affair, and he was released.
The officers now believe that Lamp-
kin, is the negro who killed Mr. Ken
drick, and that there will be but little
trouole in convicting him. Robbery is
supposed to have been the motive, as
there was no ill feelings between the
two, as far as can bo learned.

This is one of the finest sections in
McDuffie County. It is composed of
substancial citizens. The people are
well-to-do, industrious, and intelligent.
'The spirit of hospitality, and the aroma

neighborhood.
The school is one of the best in the

NEW TELEPHONE DIRECTORY.
The manager of the Southern Bell
Telepnone Co., is now delivering their
new telephone directory at Thomson.
Tho directory is neat and attractive in
appearance, and contains the additional
names and the changes in listings and
numbers that have occurred since the
issue of the last directory. The in
creased number of subscribers attests
the growing demand for the modern
utility in our daily business and social
life. For the business man it supplies
the place of an extra office assistant;
for the busy housekeeper it simplifies
the question of marketing; and in the
social life it is an acquisition of unpar
alleled usefulness and resource in count
less different ways and emergencies.

HEARING TO HAVE PARSONAGE.
The village of Bearing is soon to have
a Methodist parsonage. Active work
along that line has been going on for
i some time and last, week Dr. F razier,
j presiding cider, addressed a massmcct-
J ing at that place and $300 was sub-
I scribed. A lot next adjoining the
church property has been donated by
| Mrs. Winburn, and with the lot and
| $300 subscribed, the parsonage is near-

Mr. L. S. Davis, known to his friends
here as “Seab” was seriously injured
in an accident on the Georgia Railroad
Monday afternoon near Clarkston. He
was in charge of the engine pulling the
fast train from Atlanta to Augusta and
was moving along at lively speed [when
one of the parallel bars on the driving
wheels broke and the end attached to
the wheel next to the cab of the engine
struck it with terrific force, demolish
ing one side of the engine cab and
breaking a number of the steam pipes
which allowed the steam to escape in
the cab with great force and in large
quantities. The fireman jumped for
bis life and escaped with only slight in
juries, but Mr. Davis had to apply the
air brakes and after doing so hung to
his engine as long as possible. He was
badly scalded about the face and neck
and his hands were almost cooked.
When he fell from tho engine he suffer
ed a number of sprains and bruises,
but he is now doing well in a hospital
at Augusta and no serious results are
feared. The breaking of a paraded bar
is one of the most dangerous accidents
in railroading and frequently results in
the wrecking of the train.
MULE BUSINESS LIVELY.
The sale of live stock opened up soon
er than usual this season, and already
considerable business has been done in
that line in Thomson. Conditions were
favorabie for the trade by reason of a
little more corn than usual, and a little
more money than usual. Moreover,
there lias been more winter plowing
than usual. Some of the new muies
have been put to turning over the land
they will cultivate next year, and when
work time comes the land will be in
better condition and the mule will be
“seasoned. ”
HOG KILLING TIMES.
The recent cold weather ha3 afforded
a fine opportunity for killing hogs and
most all who wore fortunate enough to
own one have availed themselves of it.
It is a fact that there were few in Mc
Duffie this year, but the large coni crop
made enabled those who owned them to
feed them well with the result that the
average weight is larger than usual.
It is thought that the same condition
wiH r.ot exist again vs a large number
of farmers are now ■ : ..a “.aivc

The usual services were held at the
Baptist church last Sunday. The Sun
day school was not as well attended as
usual, caused perhaps, by the weather.
The pastor filled the pulpit morning
and night, delivering two interesting
and helpful sermons. At night the
orchestra furnished music which added
greatly to the pleasure of the service.
