Tin Lexington Dispatch
tfeanesday, February 24,1915.

D. B. Haltiwanoee, Associate Editor
Entered at the Post Office at Lexington,
O., as seoond class matter. .
The. city drive and seats on the
State House grounds in Columbia fills
a long-felt want and adds much to the
^ beauty and attractiveness of the
grounds. Columbia is always coming
to tb? front, her civic organizations
being always on the job.
The Lexington Board of Trade should
make an effort to get the morning
train from Colombia to come a few
hoars earlier. This present schedule
r* .works a ^rhat hardship on all of the
B. F. D. carriers between Colombia
and Augusta, as well as an inconvenience
to the pablic. It wonld be a
great blessing to the community and
^ to the public generally if the railroad
could he induced to run up the schedule
an hour or so earlier.
Now is the time for all our peoopla
to get together and push for a greater
County Fair this fall. The executive
committee has under advisement the
proposition of changing the location
J k.:u:MMa ;<-a
or cue ^rouuus auu uuumu^s uvu
prevent location to a point near the
station,, which., within itself,, would be
a long and progressive step. A great
drawback to onr fair in the past has
been the long distance from the depot,
which necessitates extra cost and expense
of getting to the grounds. It is
to be hoped that the committee will
succeed in poshing the matter to a
Successful conclusion. It would mean
a big boost for Lexington and for the
Fair association.
Go to Church Sunday.
Sunday, February 28th. has been
set apart as go to church Sonday for
the people of Lexington. On this dav
it is hoped that every church member
will go to his respective place of worship
for the morning service. If you
have not been in the habit of going to
chutch. come, attend this service. If
yon have a friend or neighbor who
has not been attending church bring
him with you. Let us have a real
family reunion of the household of
God's children. Let ns gather in our
own churches and there be fed upon
that spiritual bread of which Christ
speaks: "Men shall not live by bread
alone but by every word that proceedeth
from the mouth of God."
if God bids yojr come to His house^ we
bid you come and let usv worship together
again, let us get acquainted.
Let us make this a great day in our
town and fill our churches to the
capacity. We are expecting you and
waiting anxiously to greet you there.

u. 3. is xnreaxenea says xan
Morristown. N. J., Feb. 22?The
United States is threatened with a
serious invasion of its rights as a neutral
by the warring nations of Europe,
and in preserving its commerce with
those nations is face to face with a
. crisis, in the opinion of former President
William H. Taft. In the solution
of that crisis, should it arise, no
jingo spirit must be allowed to prevail,
Mr. Taft adyised; neither pride
nor momentary passion should influ
ence judgment.
"And when the president shall act,"
Mr. Taft declared, "we must stand by
him to the end. In this determination
we may be sure that all will join,
no matter what their previous views,
no matter what their European origin.
All will forget their differences in
self-sacrificing loyalty to our common
flag and common country."

War and the U. S/ Preparedness
are Topics of Debate
Washington, Feb. 22 ?War and preparedness
for war were the sole topics
of debate today in congress, the senate
discussing the army bill aod the
house working on coast aerense appropriations.
Chairman Chamberlain of the senate
military committee gave notice
that legislation for an army of 250,000
men and a reserve system would be
taken np at the next session.
*4With re-organization along the
lines " said he, "the United States
will be in position to meet all dangers
Within or without the nation."
Senate Republicans began a fight to
pat a larger submarine bnilding program
in the pending naval bill than
has been provided by the house.
8enator Smoot today introduced an
amendment for 50 submarines of a
sea-going type and 25 smaller ones.
For the first year it would appropriate
$30,000,000.
"The European war has demonstrated
beyond any question," said
Senator Smoot: "that submarines are
invaluable for coast defense. That is
the sort of defense we want more than
anything else."
In the house, Representative Gardner
declared that at the present rate
it would be 18 years before coast defense
guns had sufficient ammunition
for and hour's engagement, and that
the coast fortificaticns could be taken
from the rear.
Mr. Gardner quoted from a report
made iu 1906 by the national coaSt
defense board, saying a hostile fleet,
should it gain control of the sea, could
establish a base at the entrance of
Chesapeake bay, "without coming
under the fire of a single gun, and
pass in and out at pleasure.
"That report was made nine years
ago, but not one spadeful of earth has
yet been turned in fulfillment of any
fortification project for the defense of
Chesapeake bay,'' said Mr. Gardner.

John J. Taylor, carpenter, Main St.,
Lexington, says: "I had a constant
pain in rny back, which bothered me
so that I could .hardly work at my
trade. At times, I was scarcely able
to bend to pick up my tools. The
kidney secretions were too frequent
in passage, causing me to get up a
number of times each night. I was
aayiaea to rase uoan's Kidney -fins

Attractive Home Religion i
What are the things that make m
attractive character? We may get a
better start for our stud}* of graces by
beginning with faults. You have seen
people who were disagreeable in their
homes. What was the matter with
them? There have been nights when
you have been ashamed of your home
conduct daring the day. What had
you done that you were ashamed of?
How well you know the un'pleasaut
list! But let us put them down again
that we may face them frankly. Selfishness,
wilfulness, impatience, un
Imivlino^u tinurillinr,
rGiiij(Jii<iUU;UCOr5, iiuionuvco, tiiiijgnesa
to forgive, shirking, faultfinding,
unfairness, partiaiicy?tiiese are some
of the bitter things that spoil our
homes.
The way to be attractive is just as
plain as the way to be unattractive,
though it may not be so easy. Let
us put down the other list. See how
fragrant the very words are. They
are like a breath from heaven. Tke>
represent soul flowers that every one
of us may have growing within, and
? * U ? TT
they will maKe iragr?ui> nuuirs. uueeifishness,
submission, patience, reasonableness,
gentleness, forgiveness,
industry, charity, fairness.
Wheie can I find these graces that
will make my religious life attractive
to the peoplo of my home circle ?
They are all gifts of Jesus, gifts of
the Spirit. They are priceless, yet
they are mine for the asking. Is it
not worth while? Jesus died that we
might have them, and so be like himself.
Our lives must be samples of
his life, and they can be and will be
such when we let his life, in all its
fulncs-", into our hearts to take the
place of the old life o self and sin. |
