' The World War opened the eyes ' of the country to the wants of others. The people were willing to give and ^ ' they gave freely. In fact the country was surprised that it could give so j much, and that large amounts of l money could be collected so easily. 1 Almost any Hind, of. a drive which | had for its purpose the helping of the ' t ( ,, soldiers, or of others who needed help, had a suitable response. < j Those who are engaged in charit- 1 1 able undertakings learned something ' t-Ko methods of raising money durr ' . ing this time. What they learned dur- J ing the war has been practiced since then and many thousands of dollars have been given where people before the war did not give as freely. The present winter is going to be j a time of great suffering and the peo- \ pie are going to be' asked to help 1 ;pthefs oftentimes. There will be peo- < pie in every community who must be'* helped or there will be untold suf- ? fering. While we would urge the peo- < pie to give freely to those who suffer, 1 we must say that we believe the time 1 has come for the traveling charity ^ seeker, the man who for a salary ' however small travels from one < town to another asking help for this 1 or the other institution, to stay -at < home and confine himself to the wants 1 of those around him. We are sure 1 .that the people in this community I - * 1 A _ it- < will not be able to give mucn 10 owi ers just now; we are equally sure ,' that more charitable gifts and help I' w 11 be needed here than may be had.,' Why then should we undertake to ] help people and institutions away ^ from home? Here every dollar that 1 is given is spent for a good purpose. ; We all know that. None of it. will go to pay the salaries of solicitors. When ] we give toother people or institu- 1 tions through salaried officers and 1 salaried solicitors, we do not always i / know just the amount that goes. to these institutions. T? the above suggestions there will " be, of course, some exceptions. There are certain charities away from home which have been doing good these ' ? J-1 1 4. A * many years, reopie nave accuswraeu p themselves to supporting them, and ^ the results have justified the gifts made to them. There are obligations ; to the organization of the churches i which the people support, knowing 1 that what they give goes to a good 1 purpose and that it is wisely expend- ' ed. But generally speaking we be- 1 lieve that the suggestions are wise. Certain it is that now is no time to | be approached<. by those who seek to ] establish new charities away from * home. It will not be time to do this I until we have helped'our neighbors and have a surplus and know that the new enterprise is one deserving help. FOUR LOSE LIVES IN FIRE ] 1 Toledo, 0., Nov. 3.?A mother and < four children, three girls and a boy 1 were burned to death shortly after 6 ] o'clock this morning when fire des- 1 troyed the fruit store and apart- < ment of Wolf^ Greenburg, Indiana i avenue and Ewing streets. The dead ' are: Mrs. Greenburg, the mother, ! Eva, 15; Anna 13; David, six and 1 Leah, 9. ( The father and four other children who were sleeping in another room 11 were able to escape, but flames frus-J] trated attempt to rescue th* mother jl and smaller children. The tire was 1 discovered by one of the sons only ' after it had filled the apartment with l smoke and gained considerable headway. When firemen reached the second floor they found Mrs. Greenberg and | two children burned to death and two others suffocated seated in i chairs. j < SUNDAY AND SABBATH. The Presbyterian of Due West had the following paragraph in its last issue, for which due apology is offered: "Our good friend, The Press and Banner, whom we like to read, three times a week, quotes The Presbyterian as using the word 'Sunday,' three times in as many locals. There miie' hp snmp mistake about this. The rule in the Presbyterian office is never to set up the word 'Sunday' except in such cases as 'Sunday papers' and 'Sunday Base Ball.' " In taking'the Press and Banner to task, The Presbyterian is within its rights in insisting that when it _ is quoted .it be quoted correctly. In the same issue, howeverr in mhich the :omplamt was made, The Presbyterian quoted an article from The Press ind Banner and changed "Sunday" ;o "Sabbath." According to Webster they are joth perfectly good words, though jsage is not so flexible as "she is vrit."' ' : "Sabbath denotes the institution, Sunday is the,'name of the first day >f the week. The Sabbath of the Jews is on Saturday and of most Christians on Sunday. In New Engand the first day of the week has ?een called the Sabbath to make it as loly time; Sunday is the word more :ommonly used in all parts of the [Jnrted States as it is in England." THE DUE WEST FAIR. The Due West Fair came off last] Tr'day as scheduled. It was quite a success. A large crowd was present. Persons coming from a distance. The :attle show was very creditable. The school exhibit, furnished by the graded school, was especially fine. The exhibit of fruits prepared in many ,vays by the ladies, breads, jellies, jome made candies, home mad& soap *01 both toilet and laundry purposes, lome made furniture, also many jcononvcal articles for home and family use were shown. The display )f fancy work was very fine, showing work of real artists in the line of needle work. The floral exhibit was jood and the attractive feature of the morning was the parade. A number of floats representing dairying, agriculture, poultry, stock raising, ind last but greatest of all, our comnun ty's most valuable asset, the boys and girl?, and what we owe :hem in preparing them for manhood and womanhood. The two speakers for the day," Messrs. Vance and Cobb, added much :o the interest and instructions along the lines of cattle raising and community Jbuilding.<=-A. R. Presbyterian FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. 1 Mr. Weeks will preach Sunday at 11 a. m. on the subject "The World Program for ^hr^t's Church." The '.30 p. m. subject will be "The Costy and Fatal Help." TVio vnnntr men r>f thp phureh are specially urged to be present at the meeting of the Baraca class Sunday norning at 10 o'clock. This class is aying plans for some very interestng and aggressive work. T^e church rejoiced to receive into its membership on last Sunday VIr. and Mrs. W. F. Barnes and Mrs. f. A. Bowie. TO OPEN KINDERGARTEN Mrs. Robert Williamson will open i kindergarten next week at the home of Mrs. Percy Leach on Wardlaw street. She will have the use of one of the large front rooms and the children will have the yard as a playground. The Kindergarten will have the chairs and tables and such other equ'pment as has been ap?J L.. \t? u;n jjroveu uy ju s. i anji i*ui vi mv Teachers College of Columbia University. The room will be most attractive and will be an inspiration to the children. Mrs. Williamson is an experienced kindergarten teacher having had nine years of successful work. She has a diploma from the Kindergarten Training school of the University of Nashville, Tenn., and is well qualified for her work. This is an excellent opportunity for the parents of Abbeville to give their children a good start in the way of an education and interested parents should^consult Mrs. Williamson as to terms and enroll the children with the beginners. 1 GRAND OPENING IS , TRIBUTE TO LASSES Suj Minstrel Troupe Keeps Audience in Uproar Throughout the Entire Performance. cou (Montgomery Advertiser) * e With a rirst part crowded with ing songs that went over "big" and ai a last part full of comedy with Lasses J^01 and Siim" Vermont* furnishing it, |C^'' Lasses White and his all-star min- w^' strels opened the theatrical season ^ir< at the Grand Theatre Tuesday night sc" with a fun-craving, appreciative audience that packed the house to ca- ^ pacity. If such a thine: is possible it might j be-said that Lasses himself, mads even a bigger hit than ever before, , 1 and decidedly' bigger than la^t sea-' pre son when he made his first appear- cht ance in Montgomery eft the head of his own company. Lasses was mighty good, but he was just a part of the aggregation of fun-makers. Coming next to Lasses," and without whom the undertaking would not have gone so big, was Slim Vermont,, who just seemed to fit in right to Lasses and give him an opportunity to pull his funny stuff. Slim proved to be a great hit throughout the entire performance, and he won a place i in the hearts of fun-loving- theatre-! goers of Montgomery. ' The s'ngers with the aggregation are among the best ever heard here this season. The solos were fine, with Charlie Lane, Frank Long, Bobby Gossans, Jim Pritchard, Waldo Roberts, Roscoe Humphrey, Paul Cholet and Lasses (himself) furnishing them. * Paul Cholet is looked upon by Montgomerians as one of the greatest yodelers ever heard here. He added to his popularity last night by the wonderful selections which he rendered. Lasses knocked them cold with his j "If you don't believe I'm leaving,"! and Tke his famous "Sweet Mama Tree-top Tall," the audience refused j to let him stop until he had informed them that he was "not a phonograph.' Restivo, famous piano-accordion player, was greatly appreciated with his classical and jazz selections. Taking it as a whole, Lasses White ^ and his aggregation made a big hit ^ and their reiurn to Montgomery in the future- will no doubt be welcom*- \Si ed by all lovers of minstrels. I Lasses White, minstrels will be at I f the ' Abbeville Theatre, Thursday, | 5 Nov. 10th. I J V SHARON Kf! v v [ 2 vvvvvvvvvvsj] ' Rev. J. M.
