Henry Clay came back from Kentucky to Virginia, and he was greeted by a great crowd in the capitol square in. Richmond. He had won national fame and his hearers wondered what he would say to his own people. His remarks began with these words from Scott: “Breathes there a man with a soul so dead, Who to himself hath not often said, This is my own, my native land.” He meant that the priv ilege of claiming these frfends and relatives as his own meaitt more to him than all the honors that had come to him as a na tional figure. The people of this county have been intensely in terested in the splendid courage shown by Canadians, Australi ans and other allied troops on the battlefields, but we are proud of the men of the Thirtieth Di vision. They didn’t win the war, but they did their part in winning it. We are proud of them because they were our own blood and bone and they meas ured up better than the Germans and as good as the best in the al lied armies. We would have been proud of them had the op portunity for fighting been de nied them, but they came up to the ideals that loving friends set for them. The next few days will see these men from this county back home with us again. Our hats are off to them, our latchstrings hang on the outside, and they can have from us the very best of everything we have. We would be guilty of an injustice to tFiein and'ourselves if we con fined our appreciation of them to a mere temporary welcome. These boys have deserved a lasting memorial. ^ rr ” natyurallyVarise in the wear of/^ rom busy lives. People who root at a ball game/haven’t time to nurse grouches about other thirtgs. The ball field is a good place to l^vel the people who go there. It is the candid opinion of this column that a good, baseball team is-a community asset that deserves the unanimous support of the town. -Itr should be en couraged in every way neces sary, because it will pay for the investment. We move that Barnwell have a baseball team. Who will second the motion? STARTINCTSOMETHING. While passing down, a street recently a group b£ children who were playing : on a lawn stopped while one of them cried, “Come here, quick, Mother, Sadie is going to start some thing.” Sadie evidently be longed to that brand of human natilre whose dominant gift was to start things. Some things in life ought not to be started be cause the world is happier when they are left in quietness. Some times it may be the peaceful re lations of home life, or of the store, or the firm, or the commu nity is utterly misplaced because some Sadie starts something. Perhaps the most striking fact about Sadie is a meddle some disposition which cannot be contented until her hands or tongue are mixed up in some body’s affairs. Sadie belongs to the salamander family in that she doesn’t enjoy life except when things are blazing hot somewhere. Sadie is a degener ate in that she finds no pleasure except in the torture of other people. Sadie loves to infest | schools and churches because they are doing good work, and Sadie hates to see anything good going on. Who is Sadie? Sometimes a man, sometimes a woman, but always selfish to the core. Lucky is the town, church or section that doesn’t have male or female Sadie whose chief delight is to be always starting something.

There is an old saw that we would do well to remember in these strenuous lives of ours that “all worok and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Play is an essential element not only in the life of the child, but also in the lives of the grown ups. No one can present a more un companionable bearing than the' man who has lost the spirit of play. The man who can see the reward of a day with rod or gun has a great advantage over the man who sees in them nothing but a waste of time. The man who counts the hours lost or who measure the amount of game by the price of the am mu-* mitioo that secured it is far from the viewpoint of the man who THE UNIVERSITY INCIDENT Being an outsider and being ignorant of any of the facts in the case which led to the recent correspondence relative to the continuance of Dr. Currell as president of the University of South- Carolina we cannot apeak with authority. The published facts are that in the opinion of 166 students in the institution a change of presidents was desir- ible. These young gentlemen set forth their side of the mat ter with a great deal of publicity, bringing it' not only to the at tention of the trustees, but also to the public through the col- umns of the newspapers. There in lies the more important aspect of The case. These young men had a right to secure a hearing from the trustees, because as students they make up an-im- sity. They are in the university only so long as may be necessary to secure their university train ing. Others were there before them, and still others will come after them. In view of their temporary connection with the institution, and also in view of fhe fact that the government of DR. W. M. JONES. I)r. W. 1ft. Jones some weeks ago resigned* the care of the Baptist church of Willistoitrtrf which he had been pastor for eighteen years. The church de clined to accept his resignation and asked him to reconsider. Because of sickness fie was un able to meet with his people until February, and on that dav announced that after due m consideration lie felt that Iris resignation must he insisted on. I)r. Jones has received fhe high -honor bmng -cal-Uid—to -tbo care' of the Baptist church of Barnwell which is very near Wiilistonf tire two churches be ing in ihe same Association.

And under his pastorate tine Willistoii church lias made great' advances. The total contribu tions of the church the first year he wentfhere were $625.00', Last year the church gave $4.- 144.00. Under his pastorate a , , , v beautiful house of worship has portant element of the univer-j^ een ereC £ed,. and an elegant parsonage^-and in many, many other ways the church and communitydiave felt the strong influence of his thoughtful min istry. -For many years in connec tion with his Williston pastor ate Dr. VV.
