MBo not do eoived, God Is not mocked; for what V soever s man soweth that shall h< also reap." ,' (t is time that every man shall pm It " per* to face facta and whether it tx unpleasant knowledge or not, he oughl ' t? be prepared to l.now this one fact? -v'~ Vihat God sees and knows him througl %ud through?the worst and the besl about him, and there is nothing hid fmm the Father and Judge of the ?V; earth. , Be not deluded. Do not live in a Wv. ^Tool's paradise. As to your charac. tar, private and public life, motives, desires, as to what you have been, and what yon are today, and aa to what you propose to be, do net be deceived, God ia not mocked. God is no fool. The text in itself is startling, for the very though of mockery ought to make us shudder. we realize that God is infinite, eternal and unchangeable; that He is .okmipresent, which means He is > Everywhere; and omniscient, which ' means that - He is possessed of all . .knowledge, a man is a fool to mock 'God. If we realise the meaning of ,^h* word, our faces would whiten, and we would tremble. The word "mock ed* means Mto sneer at." It is as if one would say, "I regard the teach* ings of God as of no value. I consider that His warnings are entirely unnecessary and that his repeated declarations regarding the danger for the unpenitent are of no more worth than the telling of a fable. I wish I could lead you all forward in thought to that gTeat day when time shall be no more, which is described in the 20th chapter of Revelation, the 11th and 12th verses: "And I aaw a great white thxoa*{ and Him that sat'on it from whoa* r hwm fled away; and there was (usad no place for them. And I saw if flhdHhfT1-am*11*Trmt"stand b l jWV'Godf and toe book was opened, | ' J&ibieh Is the book of life; and the dead | ^dged oul-of those things which sure no one ml td * inbtk * Bp" x God U bo fool. Yon may fool one another, neighbor, members of your f family, master, employees, but you cannot fool God. Lincoln once said, t "You can fool all the people some of ir-;rr-H9>e~Jtime; you. can-fool some of the people all of th*s time; but you cannot fool all the peop'e all the time": but you cannot deceive God for a moment, - God refuses to he bribed; God's eye cannot be closed; He knows. It may not be pleasant to think and know and to awaken to the fact that God knows at my worst, but it is true. "Be not deceived, God is not mocked." The text in its setting in the New Testament warns us against the squandering of our time and tale.it here. It gives us the picture of the sower scattering the seed broadcast ki and sowing from his own resources. We do the same thing in the same way. God has given us a mind, and f with that mind we think of impure things instead of the pure. He has t given us a heart, and in that heart we cherish that which, is wrong instead of 1 encouraging love. He has given us a wfll, and with that will we choose the vinfhl rather than the way which lends along the paths of righteousness. He has given us a body and we yield that body to the sowing of passion instead of placing it upon the altar of living sacrifice for Him. We are all the time sowing, and it is well for os to remembe? that God is saying Ifts word, "Wnatsover a man soweth that shall he alec reap," and the word "That" is as big as the word "Whatsoever'' and a little bigger, if you have imagination, foV harvests are generally mere abundant than the seed. Then ft this text is to make any impression on your mind, you must remember That You Will Reap If You Sow. flow an act. reap a habit. Sow a habR, reap a character. Sow a character, and lead a destiny. God yrity you if in the face of all His warnings you sow in the wrong way. Beery nun must bear the responsibility of his own sin. flseond, you will reap what you sow. Yen cannot expect figs from thistles, and you cannot expect a barley crop from rye. You look for the same kind ef a crop that you scatter. You tell ynnr boys to be studious end Industrleue end honest because it will pay Iham hi after Hfe. And if that is tone in the natural world, then surely It is in toe spiritual world. We sing sswstHw, "What shall the harvest tat" So you want to know?

He died last night aft< an apoplectic stroke earlier in tl ' day. ' Baron Sidney Sonnino, "the silei statesman of Italy," disliked to tal ' but could be fluent in Ave language ' He Was Prime Minister of Italy i - 1906 and again in 1910. From 191 ' to 1919, he was Minister of Foreig ! Affairs. He also served as MinisU of Finance, as Minister of the Inter 1 or and as a member of parUanMjt ' He brought to the Paris peace dss ; ference the reputation of "the flri financier of Europe, the man who ha ' probed the economic life of the worl ' to the core." "I do not shine, I do not glitter, he said on one occasion in the Cham ber of Deputies. "I leave that sort o thing to my political opponents, am satisfied if I can reveal an occa sional gleam of common sense." A another time, addressing his indiffei ent colleagues, he said: "I propose i put a little knowledge of the state o the nation's revenue into your head* whether you feel interested or not. Whi'e Minister of Finance he wa credited with having laid the founda tion for his country's stability fror the revenue standpoint and for hi establishment of budget surpluses. Baron Sonnino was one of the mos abstemious of men in spite of hi weal'h. Even before the war, h oracticed the most rugged economies Paly cou'd not borrow favorably ii I the London market by reason of he ' enormous public debt. Sonnino low ered it by vigorous taxation, by re during public salaries and expendi tnres and dismissing needless em ployees. The politicians, therefore hated him. wou'd not th'nk of having a fir in-my bedroom," he protested to th deputies on one occasion. "Out It*11 an wmters are too beautiful to b soefied in that fashion.

Sonnino's grandfather migrate* from the ghetto of Leghorn, Italy, t* Egypt where he built up an enor ! mous fortune as a banker, a foitum ( which the future Premier of Italy en joyed. Before erter.ng politics he was edi tor of the magazine "Rassegna' which he founded and in which fo i years he aired his political and econ I omic views. He also wrote and lec tured on Dante and Petrarch o whose works he was a close student Later he became one of the propria tors of the Giornale D'ltalia. Baroi Sornino was always interested in th welfare of the Italian farmers. Hii | book, "The Peasants in Sicily," wa 1 a notable contribution to public knowledge of agrarian conditions 11 that country. One of his aims, In said, was to revive southern Ital' economically and mroally.

FSries on i- the charge of killing Newton Taylor ie Ust September at Glover, were aeloct, r. ed before noon, today. This is firet of i.? four charges of murder against Partes growing out of the shooting of memit bers of the Taylor family, ic The court room was crowded to its i, capacity, and an extra force of deputy n oheriffa were on duty, t Faries' kinsmen ranged themselves n around him in the ? York, Nov. 28.?The tHal of WUt iiam C. Faries, 60 year old textile v. worker* for the turder of Newton ? Taylor, one of the four alleged four ^ /ictims of Faries* rampage at Clovor ^ September 6, will begin at 9:89 o'clock in the morning, Judge James n ?. Penrifoy this afternoon having re'' fusfed two motions by Faries' counsel first for a'Change of venue and then I for a continuance of the case to th? April term o fcourt. t Both motions were based on the .. ground that the inflamed state of 0 public feeling in York county is in{ compatible with a fair and impar , tial trial for the accused. Defendant's .? counsel figured thatHhe mind of the s public was first inflamed by the nature of the crime enmnhtted hv Farie* n >nd that this attitude was strength s oned and deepened by abusive and in cendiary newspaper stories that apt peared in the daily and weekly press. 8 Supporting the claim that Faries had been given inflammatory publicitv , was submitted a scrap book of clip n pings from daily newspapers of Cor lumbia, Charlotte and the local semi.. weekly. Faries had been denounced as an old Republican, a man who . knocked out one of the eyes of his . father, as "Fighting Bill" and charg, cd with other undesirable roles in these newspaper stories, argued his a counsel. Arguments for a change of 9 VMM or for a continuance were made i. by^M# t,. Blease of Columbia and e Thomas F. McDow of York, while a arguments against the measure were ? made by , Solicitor J. Monroe Spears . v jft. Darlington and John R. Hart of ^ Y6rk. The state submitted affidavits a zens, in which the opinion was ex e pressed that three was no reason why f Faries could not be given here a fair 1 and impartial trial. Counsel for the p defense submitted no affidavits to l -buttress their claim to the contrary. In refusing the motion for a con tinuance or a change of venue, Judgv j Peurifoy called attention to this lack a 1 of affidavits to support the claim that _ Faries could not be given a fair trial B lie also pointed out that he had . granted a continuance at the September term of court, which was held only a few days after the homicide. ? He said it was a fact that great pub r iCity had. been given the case an I . that there was no question but wha . I the public mind was influenced by f' what was read. He took the ground. 1 however, that to remove the trial to . a nearby county would not insure its , being heard by jurors uninfluenced e by newspaper publicity, as the ac s counts of the tragedy had been pub il lished in detail in all the county new^c papers. The only way to obtain p. jury not susceptible to what had been L> written about the crime would be f to get one composed of persons wh 0 could not read or write, said his _ honor. Further, Judge Peurifoy ex , pressed the opinion that Faries could [ be given a fair trial here. He had -1 observed no evidence of excitement 1 or angry feeling toward Faries since the convening of court. In fact, the crowd in attendance on court was smaller than present at ordinary sessions in other counties, he declared. Counsel for Faries had already had * j the bereflt of one continuance and if | the financial condition -of Faries wa~ ~ | such that there had been no oppor r! tunity to have him studied by alien * ists, as it was claimed, Judge Peuri n ( fo" saw no help for it. tj Impassioned arguments for a " change of venue os. a continuance ?, were made by Mr. Blease and Mr. Mr0. Dow. The people are so wrought uo ' that nothing but the blood of Faries ' will satisfy them, declared Mr. Mc* Dow. * The trial of Faries will begin im' medinflv unon the convening of court tomorrow morning. Be will be tried only for the murder of Newton * Taylor, 13 years old, the indictments against him for the murder of Fred " Taylor, Miss Lela Taylor and Claude Johnson being held In abeyance for the time. . _ ' TODAY'S COTTON MARKET a Open 2:40 p. m. e December 25.20 26.56 y January 25.40 25.60 ri March 25.5S 25.70 1.1 May 26.87 25.60 J July . 25.08 25.27 i Local market 25c s Miss Bernice Smith of Adamsburg s *s visiting Mrs. Foster Bentley and at* | tending the Gipsy Smith meetings.

We nave no information as < i'o whether a combination exists > among manufacturers whereby the | prices of calcium arsenate are controlled, but if there is Such a combina- t iron, it would be a matter for consid- c oration by the department of justice, \ or in a proper case, by the federal t trade commission. {< MI am informc d that there has been : f i recent and quite sharp increase in't the price of white arsenic and a very t large increase since last January ' e This, of course, means a correspond- i t ing rise in tho price of calcium ar- \ t senate. The claim is made that this '? due to a shortage of white arsenic e in the United States market, to a cer-1 f tain extent, might be true, as a very' c *hort supply was produced in United ?
