CEDARVILLE, OHIO, E HDAY, NOVEMBER 15,1929 PRICE, $1.50 A YEAR NEWS LETTER k FROMSTATE > DEPARTMENTS COLUMBUS, Ohio.—-Secretary of S tate Clarence J , Brown has been highly commended for the installation of an efficient organization and ser­ vice which gave to the people of, the state complete but unofficial returns . on the • tax amendment less than twenty-four hours after the closing of the polls. Considering the fact that there are 9,116 precincts in Ohio the task involved some rapid, statistical work. Secretary of State Brown and his office force worked all night and when the last return was received it was found that the voters of Ohio had adopted the taxation amendment by a majority of 196,114. The next step looking toward the adoption of the t a x ‘limit plan'will be the appointment of a ' non-partisan committee by the Governor to make a study of tax legislation which will be recommended, for consideration by ■ t he members of the next General As­ sembly, giving the, committee ample time as the new amendment will not go into effect until January first, 1931 the legislature convening^ on Monday, January sixth. The : membership of the committee, it is announced, will be non-partisan. * .. * Now that the hunting season opens this week nimrods should'be careful and comply with the provisions of the Game Laws of the state.

McCulloch, former chairman of the Public Utilities Com­ mission, was given the oath of office ' a t Washington Monday by Vice Presi- . dent Curtis and introduced to the col­ leagues by Senator Simeon D. Fess. His commission was signed by Gov­ ernor Myers Y . Cooper and Secretary of State Clarence J . Brown, just short­ ly after the appointment. Senator McCulloch, whose home is at Canton, has twice been a member of the lower house of Congress. His term as Sen­ a t e will expire December 16, 1930. . I t is predicted that he wlil be a can­ didate a t the primaries and election; next year for the remaining part 6f the Willis-Burton term which will ex­ pire March 4, 1933. The late Cyrus D. Locher also served a short period - of the same term when he was ap­ pointed by Governor Donahey to suc­ ceed the late Senator Frank B.

SCHOOLNEWS -S trong Cedarville Eleven Wins Smashing Victory -another Another game - ......— — victory. • A scrappy Cedarville Hi school foot ball eleven, inflated a decisive loss on the strong 0 . S. & S. 0 , eleven. The local boys surprised * everyone with their magnificent display of fight. The Cadets however did not play such a game as the 16-0 score might indi­ cate, since during the first quarter of the game they threatened to score three times but each time they were held-for downs by a seemingly im­ penetrable Cedarville line. Cedarville scored her first two points when Ferguson, left tackle blocked an attempted punt and re ­ covered ihe hall out of bounds for a safety. In the third quarter with Abel and j Buckner making steady 'gains, Cedar­ ville was able to' score an additional 6 points and Abel kicked for the extra point. That ended tjie scoring for the third-quarter. The big thrill of the game came in the fourth quarter, when Abel caught a pui on his own 15 yard line, and ■raced 85 yards for a touch down, He also added the extra point making the score 16-0. . Bates and DeHass a t end positions played great football. Grube and Walters as guards were ■aggressive ahd hard chargers. Finney played his usual fine game a t center. Beatty showed up well by his ability to carry the ball and block. F latter at right taqkle played a great defensive game. Harris proved his worth by his inter- fe^pnee running and blocking. All in all it was a team that worked to­ gether from the start. A hard charg­ ing and blocking team, which had victory fo r its goal-and could not be turned back.

Rice, Osborn attorney, represents the i plaintiff. In a secluded spot, in an almost deserted country side, about seven and a half miles southeast of the city of Chester, South Carolina is an old Covenanter Graveyard. It lies upon a little hill; between two small streams, which, joining a mile below, form a- creek called Bull Run. " • It is reached by walking from the road, through an old field, grown up in broom hedge and the virgin pine. On a beautifully soft and balming October afternoon i t was my privilege, to wander in company with my cousin Mr. Henry White, of Chester, among the tombs of thege early fathers 'of the faith. Only. a, remnant remains, of the cred spot, but the old hand-made iron gate still hangs upon its rusty hinges. The graveyard contains about a half acre—no more. One has to force one’s way through a growth of small oaks, which, ip this locality follows the pines, Honey­ suckle vines,' fragnant in the spring, cling to everything. . A mocking bird sang its poetic song as w wandered about, deciphering the elaborate and interesting epitaphs upon the tombstones. The stones still standing, few in-number, all of white marble, the inscriptions, legible. About the center of the plot, close together are the tombs of four of the early Covenunter ministers. All of them came from Ireland, and early history describes them as men of good ability and fine classical edu­ cation, having been training in the Theological schools of the north of Ireland. Here lies: Rev. Wm. King, who de­ parted this life, August 24, 1798, aged 50 years. On his stone is craven, first two lines “Within'this humble tomb pale Death has laid a King who mortal scepter never swayed”. Rev. James McKinney, died 1802, aged 45 years. Rev. Thomas Donnelly, died Novem­ b e r 's , 1847, 46 years old, in the 26th year of his ministry. On his tomb: “To live was Christ, to die is gain.” Rev. John Riley, who came in 1813 “a very popular preacher”, died in 1820. The Covenanters began to emigrate after the death of Mr. Riley, removing to Illinois and Ohio, and continued to do so until the congregation became very weak. The few Covenanters left went into the A, R. P. Church. . I also deciphered the names of Cooper, Ncsbit, Harbison and Me- Quisston. Among others buried there, are. names familiar to Cedarville and Greene County: Hugh McMillen, died January 3, 1818, aged 66 years; Jane McMillen, died November 5, 1823, aged 75 years; Martin McMillen, died October 10,1826, aged 72 years', Hugh McMillen came to South Carolina af­ ter 1785. His sons were Daniel, a merchant; John, David, James, Gavine and Hugh, the last two being Cove' nanter ministers. The Rev. Hugh McMillen com­ menced preaching in 1822, and had a large school at tiie Old Brick Church. He left as early ha 1831. A t another old church were the families of the Orts, Littles, Ervines, descendents of whom now live in Greene County, Ohio. In vain Wo searched for a brick from the old church, which stood just beyond the graveyard tb the north. It was first a log house and was called Agues Meeting House.

For the past two weeks the matter has been receiving the attention of the local authorities and at a recent meeting of council it was agreed with the Cleveland firm that the matter would be thoroughly gone into with Solicitor Harry D.
