ERE THE PRESIDENT
ILI/€rO FOR VACATION.
- Washington, D. C., May 30—.
President Coolidge will not lack
opportunities to study the farm
problem in the vacation home
which he has selected, and judg
ing from past experiences he
wili not fail to profit by it. In
the .four States, South Dakota,
Montana, Wyoming and Nebras
ka, there are over 300,000 farm
ers and 50,000,000 acres of tilla
ble land. In four other near-by
States, North Dakota, Iowa,
Kansas and Minnesota, there
650,000 farmers and 90,000,000
acres of crop producing land.
Furthermore, the Black Hills
territory is the real playground
of this enormous farming popu
lation. The lack of frills of fine
linen, silver and cut glass in the
summer vacationings of these
- people will not disturb the Presi
dent, and it will be most surpris
ing if he does not establish his
contact with them during the
time of his stay.
He is going to a land where
people rise with the dawn and
work their living out of the soil.
' There are few surtaxes paid by
the people who in their holidays
tramp and fish and hunt in this
territory. The granite may be
a little softer than that' with
which is familiar in his native
State of Vermont, but he will
find the aspirations, ideals and'
characteristics of these people
similar to those of his neighbors
in the Green Mountain State.
The immediate result of the
President’s visit will be the
spending within the State of a
quite considerable sum of mon
dy by visitors who otherwise
would have journeyed to other
points. In addition, however,
before the season is over this
playground will have been ad
vertised to such an extent by
reason of Mr. Coolidge’s visit,
that it will have a boom which
will last for years to come.

again and we all enjoyed a great
sermon to the graduating class
and school by Dr. J. M. Miller
whose text was Acts 22:10 and
Matt. 10:7, “What shall I do?”
“Go Teach.” Dr. Miller to the
delight of his hearers discussed
“The Three Great Epochs in
Life—Birth, Living and Death.”
This was a message long to be

the time for the Juniors and In

real grand program.
Next was the closing Wednes

Every place you turn you can

LEBANON PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH, RIDGEWAY, S. C.
Services at Lebanon Presby
terian church, Sunday, June 5,
were largely attended. The at
tendance rally in which the con
gregation is zealously engaged
resulted in the presence of many
visitors at both services. All
who came expressed themselves
as being greatly benefitted.
Sunday morning, the pastor
preached a stirring sermon from
Neh. 4:6, “So built we the
wall; and all the wall was joined
together unto the half thereof:
for the people had a mind to
wcrk.” From this passage the
pastor brought to us a message
of great hope and inspiration,
so that at thie close of the ser
mon we all had a stronger mind
to work for the carrying out of
our church program for the
year.
A total of $45.10 was reported
on the church debt. This is but
the beginning of Lebanon’s
campaign to free herself from
debt, and with the excellent
spirit which is now manifest,
our prospects for the future are
very promising.
In order to stimulate the spir
itual as well as financial growth
of the church, our membership
has been divided into fourteen
clubs, each having a captain
and a lieutenant. Ten of the
clubs are composed of members
residing in this community,
while four clubs are composed of
members in distant cities who
maintain a steadfast loyalty to
their mother church. The clubs
are now engaged in a spirited
campaign to wipe out a long
standing church indebtedness.
At the night service a record
crowd was in attendance and
listened with great interest to
another cheering message from
Ezekiel 37: 3. The choir of Mac
edonia Baptist church furnished
music for the occasion which
delighted the congregation be
yond measure.
On Friday night, June 10, Club
No. 2, Mrs. Horace Dawkins,
Captain, will give an entertain
ment at the Lebanon parochial
school. The same club will con
duct a special service at the
church on Tuesday night, June
14, at which time a special ser
mon will be delivered by Rev.
Henry Harrison.
Sunday night, June 19, we
are to be favored with an ad
dress by Dr. Robert L. Douglass
af the faculty of Johnson C.
Smith University. As Dr.
Douglass, in addition to being a
scholar and orator of renown, is
also a distinguished son of
Fairfield County, champion pro
ducer of Negro men, it is expect
ed that his address will be heard
by a large and enthusiastic au
dience.
Mrs. Ella Benson, who has been
living in Philadelphia during the
past year, has returned to
Ridgeway. Her many friends
are glad indeed to see her.
Mrs. Nelly Holly and Mr.
Henry Henderson continue on
the sick list. We are glad, how
ever, to note the recovery of Mr.
Ben Prayloe, Sr., from a serious
illness, and marked improve
ment in the condition of Mr.
Charlie Martin.
The pastor, Rev. J. R. Dun
gee, is planning to attend the
Ministers’ Conference to be held
at Hampton Institute, Hampton,
Va., June 20-24.
CORRESPONDENT*
WANTS A NEGRO IN CON
GRESS.
The Chicago Defender hits
the nail squarely on the head
when it says that the race needs
a first class Negro in Congress,
and yet why just one? The Ne
gro group is about the only
group of any size in America
that is not represented in Con
gress. The most bitter dema
gogue may get up in Congress
and utter the most slanderous
and false things about the Ne
gro—and sometimes they do—
and there is none to call his
hand. The time was when such
was not the case. Who does not
get thrilled while reading the
eloquent reply of Robert Brown
Eliot to Chas. F. Crisp? Why not
give us the Congressman, Chi
cago? You have the vote.—From
The Palmetto Leader.
MT. TABOR CHURCH NOTES

Don’t chop the cotton too
thinly on the row but leave two
plants the width of the hoe
apart and get bigger yields.
That is the advice of P. H.
Kime, plant breeder and agron
omist at the North Carolina
Experiment Station of State
College.
