All the speakers were well re ceived and the hearers were enlight ened and entertained for about two lion rs. HOW DR. (jARDMOR STANDS. Il is really refreshing (o note the old-time punch and right-from-the shoulder bitting of our good friend, Dr. (!. W. (lardner, of Greenwood, who, (bongil no longer actively in Ibo newspaper business, occasionally livens Illings up about Ibo Green wood Journal shop by dipping his '.len into tho old ink bottle, -and then jolting down a few things that he thinks. And he keeps his thinker on an honest level at all times along the groat moral Issuos. At the present time Dr. Gardner talks vory plainly to Hon. Geo. Warren, of -Hampton, who Is In tho raco for the United Statos Sonatorshlp, and who evident ly ls not at all careful about koop ing all thc planks in his platform perfectly dry. Dr. Qardner produces a lotter from Mr. Warren and then reproduces his reply thereto, and tho two make qquite interesting reading just at tho present time. We print below thc correspondence: Headquarters of Georgo Warren, of Hampton, United States Senatorial Campaign, Columbia, S. C., Juno 2 1, 1920. Dr. G. W. Gardner, Greenwood, S. C.-Dear Dr. Gardner: You have probably seen that f have announced for the Unitod States Senate. Reliev ing that the sound logic of Calhoun still exists, and that tho principle ot States' Rights, for which the men of tho sixties fought still survives, I shall advocate tho repeal or modifi cation of tho Volstead Act and the enactment of legislation for prohibi tion enforcement which will recog nize the right of Slates lo logislato in regard to liquor and its uso for medicinal purposes. 1 shall also ad- : vocato the amortization of our thirty i billion dollar war debt to a much ? longer period instoad of attempting the payment of that amount In a period of twenty years. Economy In ' Congress and reorganization of tho governmental bureaus on a poaco basis are other things in my plat- i form. i If 1 could enlist your aid In my I race, you could be of great benefit hy directing a personal appeal to your close friends around the State and in your community. This, com ing from you, would accomplish more than my flooding the. Slate with lit erature, and will merit my thanks. Sincerely yours. George Warren. And here is Dr. Gardner's reply to Mr. W.trien: Greenwood, S. C., .Inly S, 1020. C. W. Warrell, Columbia, s. c. My Dear Mr. Warren: I am in re ceipt Of your letter announcing your pl;'? form, which I consider a we! one. end you may conni on my doing everything in my power lo def eal you. and I am very sure you will ibid that I am going to bave a great deal ol* help. As soon as I .saw your an nouncement in the papers, months .igo, I made up my mind what to do for you. We have the liquor devil on the run, and why do you wish, on the plea of Stales' Rights, to help hold him up? We do not need any such specious plea, and it is not going to deceive our people. Wo want no light wine business, I which means pulling down the bars to let the liquor people in. South I Carolina is very well satisfied willi tho Volstead law, and tho only thing rime and all the States need is to havo it enforced. No doubt tho liquor peoplo will rally to your support, and If you cared to accopt it. they would bo willing to put big money ?n tho campaign in your bohalf, but you may count upon all prohibition ists to look well after mon of your viows. I am giving this lotter to tho dally press, and I expect lo ask tho Bap ttBt Courier, the Christian Advocate and tho Associate Roformed Presby terian to publish it, and I shall offor lt to others. I do not think, If South Carolina were so unfortunate as to have a man of your ideas on tho liquor business elected, that ho could do much harm to the causo in Wash inn ton. At the same time I am con vlnced that it is best to keep your kind ul homo. Respectfully yours, G, W. (lardner. TWO IMPORTANT MEETINGS.

Mrs. George Seaborn was the first to ex tend Invitations to the club, mud added to tho pleasure of the after noon by an extra table. Many games were played, Miss Sue Maxwell scor ing highest and winning two pretty . handkerchiefs In a dainty basket. In conclusion of the afternoon, old fashioned custard cream and pound . cake were served. Mrs. N. L.

Boggs, 1 has favored us with a roal treat In tho shape of a liberal sample of his Carolina and Buncombe Juno ap ples, and they aro the finest wo have ever seen or tasted. Mr. J?oggs has boon "treating" Tho Courier force annually for these many years and his trees seem never to fail to pro duce perfeel fruit. He says, how ever, that he came near missing us this year because of the fearful con dition of the roads in his section, j Not only are the roads getting in ! almost impassable fix, but several of I the bridges are in such condition thal they cannot be crossed except at the peril of the traveler. The people of tho Xew Hope section, he says, are in a frame of mind bordering on re volt against paying taxes and being left isolated from the outside world by reason of inability to go anywhere over the makeshift roads that now exist. Tho editor of The Courier has boen walting all spring to make two trips- one to Tamnssee, the other to the New Hopo section-but we have boen advised by all who know the j two roads to keep off of them unless tho trip be an absolutely essential one. If we may judge thc whole of the Now Hope section by our good friend PoRgs, tho proverbial hornets' nost. would bo a cool and pleasant place to get into by comparison with New Hope that is. for some people. There's isn't a better section than Now Hope, and cleveror people don't live than thoso of tho New Hope sec tion. But lhere is a point that can bo roached beyond which lt ceasos to bo a virtue lo forbear. And tho Now Hopo people feel that the forbear ance point has boon already passed. Rainfall and Temperature.
