It has had a splendid and an inspiring history. This'great university cannot afford to tolerate narrowness and bigotry in any form. Our Twentieth Century of prog ress and of development is not a cen tury in which bigots should, he li censed to rule useful institutions. Harvard is important in the'?rft of the nation, and therefore the Uni versity cannot afford to tolerate a policy of discrimination against "the Jews. $ To limit the number of Jewish stu dents admitted to the University's halls, would certainly be discriminat ing against a race which ha?. pro duced some of the world's most in telligent men and women, and j which has given this Republic some -of its most useful citizens. 'Such a policy could not fail to im pair the usefulness of the University, for it would not only be unworthy and petty, but it would be degrad ing. Harvard-the college of jj great Americans-cannot afford to degrade itself! It must not give up a lofty standard in order to please -'preju diced and unintelligent men. j When ignorant men seek tof adopt rules which discriminate against Jews nobody should be surprised for noth ing better should be expected ?of the ignorant. But nobody expects ?to"find ignorance in universities. ... ' Harvard must maintain a worthy j standard, if it hopes to be respected j by the intelligence of the Republic. ? Ali thinking people know.the,-value of our American citizens in whcse , veins course the blood of Israel. - ] All educated Americans know that Benjamin Disraeli uttered, a-truth on j the floor of the BritJ^Hohse. of j Commons, when, in replying to a scornful remark of a member,:he re- i minded him -that when his ?jwAesJfflf?' ? were ' savages,"'dfi?king" bT??<f irom' the skulls of savage victims, his an- ? cestors were princes and princesses , in Israel, worshipping orod in the 1 Temple!-Charleston-American. Mims-Rinshart. A marriage of much interest was J that of Miss Eugenia Mims to Mr. Joseph D. Rinehart, June ll. * The marriage took place at the ?' home of the bride. At 3:30 several of the groom's friends, the sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews of the ? bride gathered in the parlor to see this happy couple united by the Rev. 1 M. D. Padgett. The bride wore a J beautiful crepe meteor traveling dress trimmed with touches of < salmon crepe de chine, with accesso- '< ries to match. i After the ceremony the bride and groom motored to Saluda where they ? will make their home. Mr. Rinehart is a prominent young farmer in Sa- . luda where Miss Mims has been 1 teaching.for the past three years. Al though there is a large community J in which the loss of this popular young lady will be keenly felt, her ^ many valuable traits are well known and appreciated in the community in which she will now make her home. J The many friends of this popular ' couple wish them much happiness. Card of Thanks. We wish to express our heartfelt c thanks through the columns of your } paper to all the people of Edgefield who so sympathetically tendered j their service to us in this sad be reavement in the death of our dear, beloved daughter, and sister.

MUKASHY. 13 Addison Mills to Change Hands. Mr. Henry P. Kendall, president and treasurer of the Lewis Manufac turing Company of Walpole, Mass., will take over the management of the Wateree Mills in Camden, also the Addison Mills in Edgefield, S. C., on July 1, of this year. When Lewis Manufacturing Co., purchased from Lockwood, Greene & Co., in June, 1916, these two plants, Mr. Kendall requested Lockwood, Greene & Co., to continue to manage these mills un til the Lewis Manufacturin Co., was properly organized to enter the field of manufacturing cotton cloth in ad dition to their regular business as bleachers and finishers. This tempo rary period has continued longer than at first anticipated, namely-for six years. Mr. Kendall is now prepared to op erate these two plants in South Caro lina in conjunction with the Lewis Manufacturing Co., and the Slaters ville Finishing Co.
