IIAT DOES IT MIEAN TO BE A
Cli ItIS;TIAN ?
Say, pa, what does it mean to be
n Christian?

.'k nor aise the (eladi, but we 'at
(lp the needy, we can be eyes to the
in~d sinners by showing them hom

'nmtebody will follow you.
So to be a c (hristian is to follow
hrist and then somebody e:;-. will
.dlow your example.
Well, pal, are 11 chur( h w...nhers

I am aft aid not, I'y son. They
.ight to be. but I am afraid that
e -Of them are not ictllowing
hrist. Some (hurch Imetmbers get

iys, He that saith he love. God
-Md hates his brother, h,' is a liar
id all liars shall hat"e t heir part in

No; 'm'y son, the liar is nmt a fol
Jwer of Christ, and is ther2 fore not
christian. The Bible :sa:.', 'Thotu
halt not take the name of the Lord
y God in vain, and yet son' of the

1ord says, I will not held hims guilt

now, because some people thins the

a restriction of personal liberty, a
restriction of the right to get dead
drunk, abuse the family, commit crime
etc., they are willing to violate it and
see it violated openly. These same

Al It. A. JIOWEN .
Oldest Living Ex-Superintendent of
I ducation of Pickens County.
E'very lay there Imlay be seen11 on
L the streets of Pickens a man of small
stature and thin gray whiskers walk
inl-g. slowly with his stick. lie is|
ra seventy-seven years old, fought in the
se Confederate army and for two years|
en carried in his hip a minnie ball re
ceivel in battle. One of his hands
is also disfurgured by wounds re
ceivel in battle, and he was a prom
inent actor in the most perilous times
this state ever saw. A few years ago
he saw his wife. his life companion
of more than fifty years, laid in her
grave. Although the winds of seven
ci tyseven winters have beat about his
noble head and turned his hair to
frosty white, and he has been through
many great trials, his faith in God
m has sustained him all the while and
al; today he greets every one heartily
rt and with a cherry smile. lie is Rob
ert A. Bowen of Pickens.
Mr Bowen was born four miles east
_ of Pickons court house June 7, 1844,
a son of Mr. and Mrs. Reece Bowen.
- At the age of seventeen years he v4-|
ha unteered for .ervice in the Confeder
Mi ate any, serving under Capt. Ham
Pi iilton Boggs of Pickens county in Co.
E, 2nd Regiment, South (Crolina
Rifiles. le was in several of the
Irv bloodist battles of the war and his
_ comrades say that he was one of the
I bravest soldiers in the army. At the
, battle of Frazier's Farm it is said
[)t that after he was incapacitated by a
Im wound in the right hand he ran out
( in front of his company and waving
nu his bloody hand in the air cried,
"Boys, you see what they done for
me, come on and give it to 'em." It --
was also in this battle that he was
rshot in the hip with a minnie ball and
rendered unfit for further duty in
the arm y. The ball was take:i out
two1 yearas later in Charleston.
A ftler the war and1( during recon
~st ruct ion diays he was a leader among
the D emaocrats of Pickens county. In
fact. it nuay be said that R. A. IBowen,
U lajor 1). I-'. Bradley, Col. R. E. Bow
eni and1 Dr. W.. TP. Field were the
standard bearers of Democracy ini
iPickens county du'ring these troubu
bous days when it was not easy to be
a Democrat, lHe is particularly proud
of the fact that he has always been a
staunch Democrat and that the party
has been as true to him as he was to*
it. In conversation he often repeats
the statement that he wants to be
~~ lacedl on the Democratic party's "roll
V of honor.' Useless to say his name
owv is on it.
ier Mr. Boweni was a men'ber of the
l'IF Pickens county Red Shirts and he
Iar has seen negroes serve on juries and
---equilaz~ation boards in Pickens county.
I R. A. Boweni was the first clerk of
11nd court of Pickens county, ser'ving one
'- term of four years. lHe was the coun- 1
----~ty 's second school commissioner, )
- serving a two-year term. As school*
ecommissioner, he was promised a sal
--ary of $800 a year, but as there wvas
not enough money to Qo aroundl it
was apportioned and he receivedl $60i 4.
nd salary. H~e was U nited States dleputy 2:
miarshal (during Gr.ver Clevela.d's "
*first adlministrationl.
While still inlterestedl in the public?
I affair's of his county he no longer 4
In ( takes an active part in them, but
al.s feeling that he has dlone what he
wanl couild lhe leaves.- the. work for younger
meni to do0.
He is a n'emb~er of the Mlethodist
- hurch and a Christian gentleman.
