Why the name, bothered us in our youth, when the Bi- r ble was sadly neglected, while we literally roamed through the pages of h the latter book, culling much of shadow and little of sunshine. For ? it was one of these "beware-ye" publications dealing with city life. We are inclined to believe that the * lurid .talcs we read from the pages of S " " i "Sunshine and Shadow prejuun.e? . us against city life for all time. Not: ^ that a little bit of wickedness was * not appealing; but conditions as pic- % tured, were entirely to Machiavelism.l Now protections of all kinds safe-1 guard urban life. The lure is taken j away when the city becomes a nurse a to its indwellers. We know at the present time thatj t conditions were never as bad in the f city as gained by youthful impres-| sion. But we are thankful for that! I book which early turned us back to a the country for impressions which satisfied then and have grown and I developed into a fuller appreciation t of the blessings of the big-out-ofdoors. t And we believe that more and c more people are finding a fulfillment of hopes and desires in the country ! s which the city could never furnish, t There is understanding, and com- I "* * " 9 UL radeship and spiritual Diessmgs wiuiout number, not to mention health and pecuniary returns to^be found in rural life. While in the city there is isolation of spirit and worn bodies and minds. "Sunshine and Shadow" are now to be found on the farm. The lure isjS all the other way and so are the substantial opportunities. For it is not to be understood that country life is "wicked; there is just more romance in it. And since conditions have been bettered by schools, more mod- v ern living arrangements and the * promise of good roads the pull is 0 strongly for the farm. B The Indianapolis News makes the s -f^viloTirino. irvtofA^tinc enmments: ? ...b ... "The theory so commonly held a| few years ago that the farm home-' stead should fall to the least ambiI ri tious son, to be managed and exploited as best he could, has been! j largely exploded by the son himself,!" who turned out in many cases to be; a better man than the brothers and; j sisters who made a mothlike descent] upon the bright city. In the wreck-j _ age of this theory can be seen manyi thousand good farmers dragging, themselves through futile routine of city office work. Of course, whatj they are doing is useful and neces-j sary, and to the outsider perhaps j quite glittering. The exiled farm boy in the city knows better." j < ? --j i "MERIT WILL TELL." < * The following from the pen of * Major Hemphill of the Spartanburg ^ Journal, will be of interest to the old-timers here: I "Merit will tell." The President has nominated the Hon. Samuel J. ( Graham for Judge of the United States Court of Claims. Mr. Graham I is now, and has been since the restoration of the Rule of the People 1 at Washington, an Assistant Attorney-General in the Department of Justde, where he has rendered conspicuous service, recognized at last \ by the President in his appointment to the Bench. Mr. Graham hails 1 from Pennpylvafl^' '.where lie wasj:! ngaged in the practice of his pro- TJ ession in the town of Pittsburg beore he was called to the National t Capital. He is a native of Virginia, ut before finishing his course at law a engaged in educational work, tome of us who sat under his in- 1 truction at Abbeville, South Caroina, where he was Superintendent of he City Public Schools, very well I ecollect the thoroughness of has vork, so that three States may very I pell claim that they have been honired in the honor which the Presilent would now do one of his most oyal and consistent supporters. ONE ON MRS. VANDERBILT. Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt tells this tory on herself: She was doing canteen work in ^rance during the recent misundertanding in that vicinity, and devotd American soldiers in one of the lostess houses. Being a capable lancer and attractive, she was much n demand among the boys. One evening she danced several times with . tall, tow-haired doughboy who howed symptoms of loneliness and ^ aked voluably about things back in lichigan.
