^ AMERICAN LEGION NOTES 4>j
e V
r The Fourth National convention of
tie American Legion which met in
New Orleans, La:, October 16-20,
1922, was a great convention. The i
f \ outstanding feature of the conven-'
f tion was the careful and thorough,
I * preparations made to render service
| during the coming year. The re-!
k ports of the committees and national
L officers were thoughtful anl exhaus- j
f tive, and-laid the foundation for the
f constructive work to which the legioiy
has dedicated itself in the present
year In the future as in the past the
legion will make the welfare of the
disabled veteran- its first care and
trust .
"There are four outstanding -principles
upon which we, the American
* Legion, rest. They are hospitaliza*
tion, rehabilitakm, adjusted corapen
sation and Americanism. It is all
summed up in that one term, the Americanism
of the legion.
"By buddies, I accept the honor
you have conferred upon me. I give
you my hand. I am grateful.
"To the accomplishment of the.
f things we set out to do, I pledge to
you the best energies of my manhood
and my sacred honor/'
The foregoing statement from the
. v speech r>i acceptance of Alvin M.
v OwrJey as 1Sfae gentleman ^rho represcms
op the spirit which pervaded the
convention.
Our department is delighted over
the election of Colonel Owsley as national
commander. Of the numerous
, candidates proposed he was our
choice ?r*>m the beginning. ' We believe
the Region is in safe hands for
1923. -YoU will remember Colonel
Owsley as the gentlemen who represented
national headquarters at our
department-convention which met In
. NewDerry m iyzi. >
The convention voted to hold the
fifth annual convention in San Fran-r
. cisco, California. October 3/5-19,
. 1923, inclusive.
/ 1 Froinitpne tq time we hope to tell
yon sommhing of the workings of the
conventicfn in thase notes.;'
'. ? Preparations for celebration of
Armistice day on November 10th are
well Tinker way. This day promises
to be a "''red letter day" in the history
cf Newberry. Rehearsals on MSittin'
Pretty," which will be presented
that evening, are progressing satisfactorily.
The cast and choruses in
the nlay will be assisted by an eight
- 1 ? . ,
piece orchestra. We have no nesiiancy
in saying: that the audience
^ -will be pleased with the show. Nothing
like it "has ever been put on in
Newberry. There will be only one
' performance. And as we are expecting
a capacity house we would
advise you to watch for date that
tickets go on sale. - In fact we would
not be surprised if we have to put out
the S. O. S. sign.
Next rehearsal will be at the high
'? scbool at 8 o'clock Saturday night.
^ There will be the election of officers
at the next regular' meeting of
the post, Monday, November 6th. Be
thinking about whom you want to
put at the head ?of Post No. 24 fo^
the coming year.

BROWN-EYED BABY LEFT
ON FAMILY'S PIAZZA
Swish of Woman's Skirt and Purr of
Motor Signalize Stork's Departure?Mrs.
Martin is Pleased i
Anderson, Oct.* 24.?Tucked securely
in a drummer's sample case, a
two months old baby girl, possessing
a glorious pair of brown eyes and a
shock of raven hair which causes a
mother's heart to surge with an ineffable
joy and contentment, last night
as the village curfew tolled the midnight
hour, adorned the front porch
of J. E. Martin, prominent farmer,
residing at High Point, some six
miles below Belton. The hurried
swish of a woman's dress, the rythmic
purring of a motor and the proverbial
stork, which had assumed the
form of a woman wearing a number
two size shoe, disappeared in the direction
of Belton. up the suburban
highway, deserted at such an hour of
the night. 1 !
In addition to the infant, the drummer's
case contained many pretty
baby clothes and a gallon bottle of
milk, obviously a suggestion as to the
tastes of the youngster. Mr. and Mrs.
Martin were roused by the noise of
the automobile and rushed to the
front door in time to see the car disappear
in the darkness. Mrs. Martin
-
is not in the Qeast perturbed by tne
unexpected visit of the youngster,
neither is_she at a loss as Jo t&e
course ?f%ction," on the contrary, she
seems greatly delighted and contends
that from how on \t will be her ve*y
own.
Mr- Martin is a prominent farmer
of Anderson county and was formerly
chief of police of Belton.

gram, which legion leaders decided
at a series of Sunday conferences
should be carried to the national capital,
it was announced here Monday.
"Losing- a battle is one thing?
quitting a fight is another?we are
not going to quit," said Owsley, of
the soldiers' bonus, before he started
back to his home town of Denton,
Tex.
The Owsley viewpoint on "Americanixation"
is shown by the importance
he attached to "American education
week" for a ^'bigger, better,
more patriotic America" in his Teport
as national director of the legion's
Americanism commission.
"It ever will be the policy of the
legion to strive and be worthy to
lead the way in All matters of patriotism,
better citizenship and higher
education," said Owsley.
"There are ever working in our
midst the Bolsheviks, radicals, I. W.
W.'s, ariarchists and others who are
striving daily, not only to make in
roads into our schools, coDeges and
universities, but who are trying to
convert true Americans to their radical
views in hope of overthrowing
the republic. These er^mies of good
government are trying to' do this
through many methods. #We are to
offset their'efforts through our work
in Americanism."

DR. LYMAN ABBOTT
DIED ON SUNDAY
Was Editor-in-Chief of "The Outlook"
and Was Famous
Clergyman
if
New York, Oct. 23.?Dr. Lyman
Abbott, editor in chief of The Outlook
with which he had been associated
nearly 40 years, clergyman, lawyer,
author and successor to Henry
Ward Beecher as pastor of Plymouth
church, Brooklyn, died today. He
would have been 87 next December..
When the end came his four sons and
two daughters were at the bedside.
Dr. Abbott suffered a severe attack
of bronchitis at his country
home in Cornwall-on-the Hudson last
summer, from which he never fully
recovered. He returned to his city
home two weeks ago.
! The Rev. Lyman Abbott, D. D.y
was one of the most active leaders in
many avenues of religious and civic
thought in the United States. As
; preacher editor, author and theolo!
gian he exhibited a quality of character
which impressed itself on al^
[ who came in contact with him, a singular
poise and serenity of spirit.
In his early youth, after graduartion
from the university of the city
of New York, he studied law and was
admitted to the bar, and afterwards
practiced in partnership with his broi
thers, Benjamin V. and Austin Ab|
bott. Giving up the law for theology
he studied for the ministry of the
Congregational church, with his uncle,
S. C. Abbott, and was ordained
at Farmington, Me., in 1860. His
first charge was in Terre Haute, Ind.,
where he remained five years.
As editor of the Christian Union,
which was later known as The Outlook,
his' work, in association with
~f +Vin TTo-nv-u \\favA Rppph
i/LkaL \J JL AfcV * AiViH J t T MA v. ^VW*.
er, marked him as a man of great
promise and one who saw religion.
! jiot too narrowly conventionalized,
' but overlapping: and spiritualizing
1 many of the social and civil problems
of the time.
f\ After .the death of Mr/Be^L-her Dr.Abbott
became pastor of PlymouthL
church in BrocJklyp, where his pre.
decessor had earned fame as one of.
. the foremost pulpit orators in Amer/
ica. He was installed in Plymouth
. church January 16, 1890. and re.
mained in charge until 1899, when he
resigned. He published a life of
Henry Ward Beecher and a voltfme
j of his jsermons.
I In Dr. Abbott's work as editor of
; The Outlook, in which he was asso[
ciated in his long career with many'
> famous men, including Theodore
> Roosevelt, he sought to intern ret "the
! different orders of political organizai
tions from the Christian viewpoint.
l ! Those who were near him during
> this part of his life say that extraor;
dinary working power was one of his
' chief characteristics. Moderation and
sanity were the chief notes of his .
temperament and attitude. He com
manded attention by his transparent
j siccerity and by a gift of clear peri
suasive statement.
