The tine face pictured there was well re membered— | The legend read “Victim of Wreck —Dr. W. J. McGlathlin.” Oh!—Dr. McGlothlin! President of Furman U.and one time President of the Sou thern Baptist Convention. But where had 1 known him ? Why was his face so well remembered. ! The surge of the sea'—the deep,1 lapping waves at night—and the deep mysterious store—The big cool build ing on the sea-front and the eager,1 interested audience—the tall, erect tig pre on the stage—the clear, telling tones of the assured and poised highly’ developed and spiritually, effective intellect. Dri McGlothlin speaking at the Chatauqua at Wrightsville—when I was in my early teens! Remembered and revered since then.

In gram, Mr. W. R. . Hartness'acted as spokesman for tire board. Mr. Hart ness stated that although the cost of operating the hospital had been cut to the bone, it would take at least $4,000 to tak» para of the charity work in the hospital for another year. He said :Ahat the salaries of the nurses had been cut to $25'and that with the force reduced each nurse has to han dile nine patients, when the hospital is full They have .never turned a patient away and some times pa/ patients go away without paying their bills. Last week there vjere \27' patients in the hospital. If tedp^fc who are able to pay their bills would meet them promptly, the hospital would not be hard pressed i financially. Some' time ago two tourists, were injured in a Wreck near Satifbrd and were brought to the hospital for. treatment. One had a b|roken leg. -It Wag put in a plaster cast and while (the nurse wasx out of the room he struck a match to light a cigarette jmd sbt .the bed clothing on fire from soma cotton that caught. He was slightly burned abopt the body before the names could rescue him, He attempted to bring a damage suit against the hospital and left without paying, the hospital fclii. The question of the county partici pating again in the State and Federal government forest and fire protection program was discussed and it was de cided to make an appropriation of $300 for carrying on the work aga;/i this year and it Was ageed that it was money well spent. A lookout station was operated on the roof of the Wilrik Hotel for two or three months in the spring and in several instances forest fires. Were gotten under control by the watchman getting in topch with them before they had gained much head way. For the next 'six months the drug business for the county was given to the Acme . Drug Company. The busi ness rotates so that all the drug snores in the county are benefitted by it. The commissioners had . a called meeting at the. court .house Wednes-; day at which, time they discussed the ( question of abolishing the .recorder’s court.

Class night was held Friday* night. rJ?he auditorium was crowded w.th the patrons and friends of the school for the occasion. The program opened with the welcome address by. i barren Williams, Jr., president of the class. The class history was given by Miss Katherine Gunter after Which „■ the senior class sang the class song. Earl Wilkie, who was the class poetf rec.ted the poem. This was followed by the prophecy which was given by Miss Fora Mclver Teague and 'Paul ^ Williamson. A feature of the program- "•! were two musical selections by Bryant Johnson. Class statistics were read by'’ Wallace Mclver, and the class sang, “Boosting Our Old High.” Thfe last will and testament was read by Miss ff PauLne Kissell. It was written by; Miss Kissell and Chas.

All Hail the Power Congregation Benediction ... Dr. Russell Postlude—Fanfare ____ Verdi Following is a synopsis of the ser mon delivered by Dr. Elbert Russell; The Invisible Springs of Civilization “When w^ Americans boast of the greatness of our nation, it is usually of its material greatness that we speak—the. acreage and produce of its farms, the mileage of railroads, the number of automobiles per capita; our imports, exports, factories and wealth. We often forget that all these visible elements of our civilization spring from, invisible sources. My grandfather once said of a resource ful woman that if she were put down on a bare rock in the wilderness in the morning, by night she would have a home. It is from such creative per sonalities that our material civiliza tion has come. As iai' as outward things go, the present inhabitants of the United States do not differ materially from the aborigines. In physical enuuranee and strength and in quickness of eye the Indian was probably superior on the whole. But the Indians had no automobiles or sky scrapers, and there is no reason to suppose that they would have developed them. It was - something inward, something in the spirit, which produced these material wonders .of our civilisation. The pion eer settlers of America did not 'bring much tangible property witji^thera and in the primeval forests they found neither schools nor homes nor church es ready built, to say nothing df rail ■ reads and factories and automobile*.
