F.vcry righteous person in Houth Carolina, regardless of cfiurch creed, should feel a "keon loss in tho death at Florence yesterday of the Kev. How ard Lee Jone?, 1> .-!>.? a gifted man of dod. He left tho'nilnlstry and thc Citadel Square church; of Charleston, I wo years age to tako up tho duties of president of Coker College, at Hurtsville. We are not familiar with Dr. Jones' wot a as a college presi dent, hut have no reason to believe that lt was other than eminently suc cessful. Hut of his work au a minis ter wc do know, it having been our pleasure and privilego to abide in Charleston for a portion of the timo thut he borved the Citadel Square church there. Probably no minister who ever liv ed and worked In Charleston made a deeper impress upon the public lifo of that city than he. Dr. Jones took au active Interest in thc affairs ot tho city and from tho pulpit he dared to apeak out against conditions aa he found liiem after careful and pains taking investigation. ; Ho was loved, hated, feared, admir ed and vii li lied fn Charleston. The law abiding* and God-fearing people loved him. Tho law breakers both hated and feared him. ThoBe who did not altogether approve of his methods of procedure admired him for Ilia fear IOSBUOSH. Tho corrupt politicians, who more than once felt the sting of the lash which he applied without minc ing matters, attempted tb villify him. Dr. Jones wau a gibraltar in Charles ton. Scores of his enemies turned their biggest and most powerful guns upon him, but they wore never able to make so much as a dint in the surface. Ho carno out of it all greater, grand er and more powerful. Ile wa? something new to Charles ton. A ministen,who went after wick edness in tho political life of that city in tho style that pr. Jones did waa al most unheard of. But ho made his impress upon tito body politic, wo be lieve, and one that resulted in great and everlasting good. A NE*??E I) .LESSON. . ?. (fe-**"* There is one thing that tho Euro pean war should kel,), us Americana to learn. It should bring us to a bot-, ter understanding, u juster apprecia tion, a fairer ettlmato -ot tho peo ples of th? 'European countries. In the surfreme test of the ordeal of blood and horror 'through which Europe is passing there la one thing established to which all of us, re gardless of our sympathies, can sub scribe: All of the natiom involved have stood tho test of manhood, cour age, endurance*-- Apart (rom all other issues lnvo!ved in this titanic strug gle, we must stand with bared and bowed heads before tho heroism dis played aliko by Teuton. Briton, Gaul, Ilusa, Latin and Serb.- <.. For years self-constituted authori ties have been clamoring that the whlto race waa degenerating, decad ent, lacking in virility, in fibre. Here in America we have been prone to ac cept that verdict aa applicable to tho oidor people of Europe while wo havo flattered ourselves that we were a i uperior raco, untouched by thia myth ical decadence which had tainted or permeated the cider nations. Can we longer hold any such viewt In a great French play thc dying hero thus addresses Death: "What is that you say! That it ir. useless to fight! lt is much nobler to fight when you know you cannot win." It there a man or woman with red blood whose eyes did not glisten, t hose heart did nc beat faster, whose pulses did not throb,' when she read < ! the fight the Belgians made, the fight they knew they could not win? ' Ia there one ot tia who does not thrill at the recitation of the mar?; vellous feats of the Germans, at . the deathless story ol how the French. hurled back the invader at tho rj?tes of Paris, of the magnificent stand of the ill-armed, ill-disciplined Russians, of the tiny but Invincible British army's retreat from Mons, of the Ser bians magnl?eent responso to the ap peal of their aged sovereign when a mighty foe hud laid their laud In ruins, of Itallau and Austrian battling to the death on snowclad Alpine pteaks, of the despised Turk laughing at death in the ravines of Gallipoli? Out of ult this welter of blood and agony one thing stands sure: Men who have died titus have not lived in vain. We who have indulged in petty, childish, ignorant criticism of other men because they sprung from a dif ferent race und spoke an alien tonguo must stund abashed today. Abashed and yet glad, too, glad and proud that thu indomitable spirit of our civiliza tion may wander into strungc and shuddering patita but can never be crushed or impaired. A LINE o' DOPE _ ^^g-^i-ag-? ???! Weathor Forecast-Local thunder showers Thurpday und probably Fri day. A few days ugo the county authori ties decided to borrow $40,000 for the schools of the county and asked thc different banks of tho city to submit bids for the loan. Last Monday rep resentatives of thc different banks met with the county oillciulB and sub mitted their bids. One bank had a bid of 4 1-2 per cent, two banks had bids of 4 per cent, and Mr. Brownlee of the Farmers & Mer chants bank named a rate of 3 3-4 per cent, which was accepted. Tho notes wero executed and deliv ered to Mr. Brownlee who forwarded them to New York. He received a telegram today that the notes had been discounted and proceeds placed to the credit of the Farmers & Mer chants bank. Ho then placed thc pro ceeds to the credit of Mr. G. N. C. Boleman, county treasurer. This is un exceedingly low rate of interest. Of course, the local banks were not lending their own money at these rates, -but all of them took up the matter with their Now York corres pondents with tho result as stated. It will -bo recalled that the Farm ers &- .Merchants bank > secured the highest bid for the paving ' bonds sold awhile back, and a short time beforo that the city invited bids from tho local banks for S45.000.00 loan and the Farmers & Merchants bank submitted a lowest bid na that. This rate ot 3 3-4 por cent for thc county, is tho lowest rato any bank herd has ever secured money for the county. Lieutenants Shearer and Paul Brad shaw, and Corporal itampoy have been selected as the members of the Ander son National Guards to represent the company during tho state shoot which will bo hold iu Columbia about Oc tober 1. Those wianing in tho state shoot will go the national shoot which will be held in Jacksonville, Fla. Mr. Cal Billson, private, has been selected as alternate In thc state shoot. A son of Mr. J. McDco Owens who lives about seven miles above the city, left on Tuesday for South carolina University which he will enter this year. Mr. Owens stated before leav ing that he was going to try tor the varsity football team and doubtless he will make lt slnco he ls physically built for a star player. He stands six feet, two inches, and weighs 235 pounds. Ho stated that he was only 20 years of age and that he is in good healthfl His many friends here hope that he will make the team and will be a feature player. That Knickerbocker quartette with the Chess Davis Musical Comedy com pany at the Palmetto ls certainly touching the hearts and pocket books ot those in Anderson who have a lingering for good singing. All four or the men have well trained voices and their songs e -? well rendered. Last night was request night, the time when they sang songs requested by thc audience, and the singing was heartily enjoyed The company as a whole is good and they aro delighting largo audiences at every performance. The Southeastern section of the National Electric Light association will meet In its onnual meeting at Asheville, N. C. on September 22-24 inclusive.

They are well advertised in all the national magazines, but they ap pear to lie quite new here. They at tracted a good deal of attention yes terday. FATHER DUFF WRITES In Letter to Greenville l'nper Depre cates Attack Upon lite Catholic Church. Father E. A. Duff, of Greenville who is well known in Anderson, has written to tho Greenville Piedmont a letter in which ho deprecates an attack which was made on the Cath olic church by Carlyle lt. Hayes, who spoke in Greenville. The Intelligen cer has been requested to reprint the letter written by Father Duff. It is as follows: f I! . ! Editor Piedmont? I? noticed 1n jour paper of yesterday a summary of a lecture delivered by* . Carlylo li. Haynes, In which hqj refers very, un graciously to some Gatuolic belief and practice. Tho account of the lecture as printed in your paper, 1 understand moreover, ls mild indeed alongside tin?1 lecture Itself, vyhiclnJrom beginning to end was an unwarranted and Un called for attack on) the, belief and practice? of tho Catholic church. In the name of common decency, I ask, why is such a man permitted night after nig .1 to attack and hold up to ridiculo fae beliefs and prac tices which are so sacred to those who -;old them? In reading the announce ment ot tho Bible lectures, I under stood that tite purpose of the lecturer was to encourage Hiblo reading, by explaining and bringing out the beau ty and charm of tao sacred text. Bul lo and behold from the very start thc purpose of tho lecturer seems to be a sweeping and .uncompromising attack cn the Catholic church.. Now, Mr. Lecturer, you may think that you arc doing God's work, when In your unbounded eloquence and ora tory you attach the sacred things of another Chu) ch. But In my bumble opinion you ure simply spreading dis cord and contempt and hatred when you caricature the Catholic church and her members as you do. You are openly issulti?K a portion ot this community, who hold and prac tice the Catholic faith. You show absolutely no regard for their feel ings. There ls surely a large work for yon to do In your present field of ac tion. The Bible itself, should demand your whole time and attention. It is highly and intensely interesting from cover to cover. There hi really no need to resort to the old and worn-out met1 od of attacking the Catholic church on the score that you do not understand the reasons for many of her beliefs and practices. If you read the Bible attentively you will find in it thc one great mes sage chat-God lovos man. You will find, 'Moreover, that God wishes love to exist among men, as tho foundation of their relations one with another. Preach this doctrino, and your work will show rei' lits. . Don't hold up to ridicule the things that others hold sacred. Yon may not understand some of the beliefs and practice of Catholics, put In your charity give Catholics .the honor and credit ot following their lights. Why, therefore, go to so much trou ble and expenso to expose Catholic teaching. H ls a waste of time, if good is the end in dow. Catholic faith aid practice bi as old as Christianity itself. They aro fixed and steadfast and like their Au thor will not nor cannot chango with time. The Catholic church ia trying to es tablish the Kingdom of God In the hearts of men. Her work from the beginning or the Cbritsaln era ls one grand testimonial ot ber fitness for the mission entrusted to her. Edward A. Dun?. Greenville, S. C., Sept. 15, 1915.

The Store with a Conscience" GERMANY TO PROTECT SOM FAMILIES To Turn Share of Clothing Manu facturers, Profits to Families of Enlisted Men. . Frankfort, Germany, August 31. 31.-(Assoclato Tress Correspon dence.)-T?.'e problem of supplying certain clothing needs of the army, and at the same time providing thai the profit from tho manufacture .these goods shall go, uot to individua! inns but to soldiers' wives, sisters l'end mothers, has been efficiently solv ed in Frankfort's Naehstubc or Sewing room. Through ii some 30,000 women and girls, -5,000 of whom live in this city, today receive a tv.) ut twice aa much money as they would if employed in private concerns, and are enabled to livo in aclf-rcspecting independence, without having oven to draw 'rom their government the same wh?> li as matter of duty it is prepared lu ex pand to support the dependents of sol diers.

From the Bo-c/?lled Kriegsf uer sorge, or very roughly translated, war as sistance, a fund was established for thc creation and maintenanco of the sewing room. Tho latter started to all intents and purpos?3 as .; ..wate business concern would have done, with money, nd credit, sufficient lu amount to pay salaries, buy supplies and rent quarters. Women deserving of assistance particularly those who perhaps would have had to have financial support from the government pr some organi zation under other clrcumatances than were encouiuged to seek em ployment. Five thousand bavo done so in Frankfort, which la the head quarters for the province of Hessen Nassau, and 25,000 more are given work. Darmstadt is the headquar ters for the grand duchy of Hessen. For time tho sewing room received tts largest commissions tic... Ked Cross, but gradually the government orders, direct from the military au thorities, have superseded aU others-, until today tho plant ia working al most exclusively for the empire. In the city it ia possible ot course for the women to leave their homo and work during the day time in thc planta. In the country district hosie work ?8 provided. The capacity of the frankfort es tablishment alone has increased so | far that it is able each week to send two full freight car loads of supplies to Mayence. . the distributing center for the section. No less than 48 (kinds of supplies are made, tho ma jority for soldiers ct tho front, but some for their relatives i^.., ino latter being distributed through the Red Cross and kindred organizations. Tho sewing room began to turn ont supplies about thc middle of August. 1914.

Among tue many pleasures tha?, havo come'io nio this summer is a visit to my old nomo. Anderson, S. C. Of course, this place has kvpt pace with the times, and has grown from a modest little villago to an upto dato city, tho "Bledtric/y^|yy*>? we Agriculturally I believe Anderson is considered the banner county of South Carolina. The national high way runs through tho omst fertile and well kopt farm lands. Its com plete and beautiful homos are attrac tive and inviting. Many yj^gg are changed ai nco the days of my jrouth, but there ra re'some'old land- merka which make mo realize that I run at homo in my native town. ~The First Baptist church, An'der aon, waa- my flrat love. It waa or ganized in 1821 with fifty-six mem bers. In 1833 Wealth Webb exe cuted a deed to Hov. Sanford Van diver, executed/, a deed in trust for tlie church, and a frame building was eroctcd. In 1858 a new brick church ' was erected which ?vas remodeled. In 1890 an annex was added. Tho first pastor I remember was Hov. J. S. Murry, who served the church as pastor from 1849 until 1867. At the same time ?Mr. Murrey taught tho Behool in the building- next to the church which prospered won derfully. This school soon grew to such an extent that new buildings were erected on Main strot, witlt Rev. W. B. Johnson aa chancellor.

The other Vuurchea were closed, and all interests, civic and - religious, Joined in the welcome: A delight ful musical program was rendered. Tho welcome from Anderson people was true and hearty as it always ls to every one who comes within her gates. Dr. White was not a stranger to the Anderson people, having con ducted two rovlval services hers within the past years and therefore had already .endeared himself to the people. / With sudh a leader thc old church has a bright future and I can but belicvo it will continue to lead lu all good works. . . v' Our lng my stay in Anderson my home was with Mrs. Julia Daniels and Mrs. J.
