Columbia, April 19.-Editor Kco weo Courier: Tho attontion of your readers is called to tho dosporate at tempt ol' tho opponents of national prohibition to break down tho in?r alo of ibo splendid Salvation Anny. Xew York city has a $500,000 drive on for their work. Tho chairman ol' tho committee, Jamos Spoyer, ls the hoad of the banking linn of Speyer & Company. Mr. Spoyer is also one of the vice ptv Jdents of the Associa tion Aguinst the Prohibition Amend ment. When tho newspaper reporters in formed Commander Evangeline Booth that Mr. Speyer was a "wet," sho said: "Mr. Speyer ls an old and esteemed friend of tho Army, but 1 tbink ho will havo to change bis views if ho is to continue as chair man ol' our drive. Our stand with re spect to prohibition is what lt bas always boen--absolutely tec-total." iBccnilSO of this consistent attitude tb.e "wets" are trying lo punish ber. She refuses to recode, and will stand regardless of costs. lOne of New York's great politicians, who has tbe power to do what he says, has prac tically threatened to withdraw ibo Salvation Army's permission to soli cit funds in the streets, on the ground that this utterance of Miss Booth is "politics." Miss Booth's address is 120 West 14th street, New York City. We cannot and must not forget the splendid work of this organization during tho war days. Then they sac rificed and rendered glorious service for ibo brave men at homo and on foreign Holds. The thirty organiza tions that are opposed to national prohibition are certainly desperate when they resort to such measures. I.et every ex-service man that ap preciates the services tho Salvation Army rendered during the great World War send encouragement lo Commander Booth. Fair play must win. E. M. Lightfoot, Supt. S. C. Anti-Saloon League. Has an Improved Sprayer. Cheraw, April 19.-Ono of Che raw's best citizens has the invention habit, j. M. Braslngton has invented and is manufacturing hore in Cho raw a number of agricultural ma chines of undoubted value to tho farmer. The boll weevil got into Mr. Brasington's head, so to speak, and hatched out a boll weevil extermina tor. Tho feature of this machine is that it has force pumps which spray water upon tho cotton plants to hold tho calcium arsenate, which the same machine also dusts upon the plants. Thc machine is horse-drawn and may bo used in daytime-a decided ad vantage over thoso that are used only at. night, after the dew falls. There is already a great demand for these machines A pilo of gold loaf ono inch high would contain 3 00,000 sheets if all were hammered as thin as possible.

(By Beulah Powell, Westminster, S. C., Rt. 5.) Tho wind was blowing a gale, and tho sleet was coming down vory fast, a3 Martha Jones sulked in tho corner on tho lounge. She had planned to attond tho big ball gamo that after noon and was compelled to stay in doors because of tho bad weather. "I boliovo there is bad weather every timo 'I plan to go somewhere and have a little fun," she said to her aunt, who was sitting by tho Uro, quietly knitting. "No, no, Martha; not so bad as that! Tho weather doesn't seem so bad when ono's time is occupied," said tho aunt. Martha still sulked. Tho aunt continued: "Why do you not make somo gifts for tho littlo children at tho orphanage? You know Christmas will be hero soon." "Pshaw! Tho orphans don't inter est me in tho least. How absurd of you to suggest such a tiling, Aunt .lennie." "1 suggested it because I thought you would enjoy doing something for the littlo orphans," her aunt said, calmly. "Enjoy lt! No, 1 wouldn't enjoy it. if 1 had my way I'd not have an orphanage In this town," stormed Martha to her aunt. Just then their conversation was interrupted by a loud knock on the door. Martha, upon going to the door, saw ono of tho most pitiable spectacles that eyes over rested on, for there stood one of the most rag ged and dirty little boys. "Please, ma'am," bo said, "could n't you give mo a biscuit or soinc ; liing to oat? 1 haven't had anything to eat sineo yesterday morning." "Where is ymir home?" nsked Mar tha, her voice more gent?o than when she had spoken to her aunt. "Daddy and mamma are both dead." ho said, as ibo (oars bogan to lind their way down his little pale and pinched face. Martha's heart was moved, and she gave the lil tie fellow a good dinner, then carried him to the orphanage. When she returned home she said to her aunt, "I'll never say such things about tho orphans ngain; and I don't think tho weather is so bad after all." "I am glad to hear you talk thal way," her aunt answered. It is much better to be cheerful than to sulk when you can't get all things your way.
