?
To Occupy Erskine Pulpit Here
This Sunday
The pulpit of the Erskine
Congregational Church will be
filled next Sunday, October 3,
by Dr. Robert P. Pell, President
of Converse College, Spartanburg,
S. C.
Dr. Pell has been for many
years the Chief Executive of a
college which is well and favorably
known throut the country
and may be counted upon to
jring a message^ of value and
therefore of interestThe
fact that Dr. Pell a Presjyterian
preacher, has been in
meet to address a congregational
church speaks as well for
the breadth of thought and
ack of denominational prejulice
on the part of the congregation
as does the acceptance
>11 the invitation on the part of
ihe preacher.
The subject of Dr. Pells adIress
wil probably be, The Secet
of Knowing ones self.

OUR ESTABLISHMENT
The Polk County News is
now an established fact. For
nearly four years The News -has
struggled on in its mission,
without any property of its own
and has succeeded fairly well.
But now it is actually a thing
of life, with a press and type
of its own; so that the paper,
commencing with this issue, is
now printed in Columbus. This
is the first newspaper to be
printed in Polk County, and
we .consider that in itself a
great honor. It means, or should
mean- a great deal to the county.
The money which you pay
for read in fir this naner will
mostly be re-circulated in your
midst.
We shall endeavor at tail
times to publish a clean newspaper,
with all the important
happenings of the county duly
recorded. To this end we invite
correspondents from all
sections of the county to send
weekly contributions of local
news. We also open wide odr
columns to any who may wish
to write on public matters, or i
to air grievances, etc. But all
such communications must be
accompanied by the true name
of the w riter?not necessarily '
for publication, but simply as a '
guarantee of good faith.
-We will hold ourselves in no '
way responsible for the views :
or criticisms of our correspondents.
We believe in remaining 1
jopen to all and showing partialitv
to none. It vou see some
I V - - - - - thing
in the paper you don't 1
'like, don't jump.on the editor ]
for it; remember we are very j
-small; but, if nothing else will
satisfy you, don't forget that 1
we keep in a convenient place <
a club of no small dimensions, I
a British bulldog of 44-calibre, 1
and a pile of brickbats, and our j
aim is good. If this ia not en- *
ough to make your hair stand I
on end, then we'll set the print- '
er's devil on you, and your
time will be mighty short.
So, now. give us your sup- I
port and we will endeavor to |
give you a good newsy paper.
Our office is in the store building
opopsite the court-house. 1
Call in and see us when you ^
come to Columbus.
