HEROES. « We have talked of heroes, dreamed of them, and hoped 0 . « that we ourselves would some day do something heroic, but actual heroes we have rarely aeen. All this i* true because as much depends on the seeker as much as on the hero that ia sought.* With the demobiliza tion of the colored soldier* from this State it is no unusual sight on our streets to see these men wearing overseas caps and wound stripes. A year ago they were farm hands or labor ers, whose lives went at the farthest to a visit to a nearby city. Today these farm hands of yesterday have seen more of the world than a great majori ty of our people will ever see. They have passed through the fires of battle, and have been tempered by the hard discipline of military training. Their sol dierly carriage is an outward indication of the inward change w rought in them by their expe riences. As they relate their experi ences#^ their admiring friends who are made up of all ages and both sexes of their color, they are to their hearers* as great heroes as ever walked the earth. We should remember that these farm hands and la borers who served N with the Verdun too good for these sons of theirs who have written their deeds before the world. The very cheapest thing we can do for them is to give.them a noisy lip welcome, in which colored bunting and -brass bands shall predominate. These soldiers have proven themselves men, and they deserve just that hon or which would be most accept able to the truest type of man hood. It will not suffice t6 have an outpouring of our people to greet them in Charleston when they arrive, or at Camp Jack- son when they are mustered out. When they have laid aside their uniforms and take their places in civil life again beside the men who stayed at home, we should remember that we owe them an abiding obligation of honorable assistance. Our gains during the war were due to their going in order that we might stay. If we fail in this duty to them we would be but little better than the Huns whom they helped to defeat. French at Verdun have domr 'well in driving back the Ger man military machine. . We should also -remember that among those who have helped to write the stoyy of the cour age and heroism of tn& Ameri can soldiers were colored men. of Barnwell County. THE THIRTIETH DIVISION. A news item that will bring great pleasure to many of the readers of this column is the announcement that 4he Thir tieth Division is booked to sail from France on March 10th, al though no announcement has been made of the port at which they will debark. In that gig antic conflict which ended in November, not many divisions were hble to rise’to the highest mark. Many of them never had the opportunity to do ,so. Along with the Canadians and Australians must be- written the deeds of the Twenty- seventh and Thirtieth Divisions. It was no turn of chance that COMMUNITY STANDARDS. No stream can rise higher than its source. No communi ty can rise higher than its standards prescribed by itself for its people. The outward and viaible life uf a community is the index to its inward and hidden standards. It i.C one thing to brir)g influences from without, it is another and bet ter thing to raise the standards from wilhip. What is tfce .^andard of your community on education? Here is a district that adjoins yours which has a nine months’ ses sion* The opening day of its session finds present children from all kinds of homes who are determined to attend every day until the session ends. While your district has a short er session, and many of its pu pils arc satisfied to attend only a part of that time. Wherein lies the great difference be tween the districts? Is it a matter of taxes or any other fi nancial question? It is pri marily the difference between standards of education. Ope is satisfied with less than the oth er. I know-that some farmers feel obliged firkOep his children from- school to- - aftdafc hr fann ing, but here in another dis trict is another farmer simi larly situated who somehow manages to keep his children in school all the session. The edu cational standards of any com munity cannot permanently rise above the standards of its people. Sooner or later we - must come to the conviction that ed ucation is the bedrock of pros perity;.. This means not only the foundations as laid in the pub lic schools, but the enlargement of our knowledge. The farmer who takes and reads good farm journals is a better farmer than the one who doesn’t. The mother who is willing to know from books and magazines what other mothers are doing for their children, is_ a -better mother than the one who is the supreme law' to herself. We are not alone in working at the great problems of humanity, and it is criminal in us to shut ourselves up from the experi ences gained by others.

Add to this an extra $10.00 fora good farm journal, and some magazines for the special interests of dress and housekeeping, and that home will become the deader of the community. The educational value frorp these sources will pay handsomely in dollars and cents. Education produces leadership, while its lack calls for leadership from without. THE SUFFRAGE LOBBYIST. We have seen many cases in which propaganda has been the most powerful agency in se curing the passage of new laws, but propaganda is the agency of the lobbyist. In its best usage the lobbyist is the .representative of some busi ness interest who can by rea son of his greater knowledge of the interests involved can give the lawmakers expert tes timony. In Its “dangerous usage it is when some interests try to influence the lawmakers to do or not to do a certain thing. A recent article on the lobby ing activities of the woman’s suffrage league affords an ex cellent idea of lobbying as a dangerous menace. Miss Maude Younger has this in charge so far as it relates to Congress. It consists primarily in securing every detail in the past life of each'Senator and Representa tive.

Among the facts record ed are his ancestry, religion, ed ucation,, Church offices held by him, labor record, military ser vices, newspapers usually read, hobbies and recreations, health and personal habits, political^ life, and whether supported prohibtion or not, and lastly, the number of votes cast in his district for and against him. Now the purpose of all of this information is to secure his vote for,suffrage, and if he, escapes, AY your smoketaste flush up against a \ . listening post—and you’ll get the Prince Albert call, all right!
