Columbia June 18: The state pen- *
sion board met tobay to make appor- ^
tionment of $100,000 appropriated by s
the general assembly for Confederate 1
vetei*ans. The work is not yet com- <
plete. D. W. McLaurin said this after- '
noon that about 2,800 veterans were j
enrolled. Aid will be distributed to '
these, one elass receiving $40 and the <
others $32. There are about five times '
as manv veterans in the latter classifl- '
catioa. 1
The giant British dirigible R-34 ,
will start from England sometime to- ,
day and reach Hazelhurst, Long Is- ,
land, the next Sunday, according to ,

will be sent- to sea to welcome the (
British flyer and escort her to the ,
mooring- places. Special radia communication
bearing on weather condi- 1
tions are being sent out for the pilots (
of K-34 to use In planning their voyage
and the system will be greatly extended
as soon as the start is made. Con- ,
siderable concern is felt over the safety
of the vessel at this stage since the
giant gas bag is subject to many dan- :

Washington June 17: The farm
loan board today announcing a forth- j
oming issue of $54,000,000 in 4 1-2 !
per bonds of the federal land banks, j
The present issue will be sold at 100
1-2 direct to investors by the 12 federal
land banks and by a nation wide .
group of investment banking houses.
The last general offering of these
bonds a year ago was absorbed quick- .
ly and the securities went to a con- '
siderable premium. The forthcoming
issue anticipates the needs of the land t
basks for some months and no further
offering is expected before December. '
The new bonds, which will be vir- (
tually tax exempt, will be issued in de- j
nominations as low as $25 to matte
them attractive to small investors. 1
They will be payable in five years and ?
due in 20 years. Up to May 31, the s
federal land banks had issued $207,- ,
600,000 in bonds.
While the Villa rebels were attacking
the Carranza garrison of Juarez
last Sunday after the fighting had
been going on for about two days a
force of Americans crossed the border 1
without asking leave of anybody, and 1
put the Villistas to flight. The order 1
to the Americans was to kill all rebels
who refused to surrender. The Americans
made things very warm until the 1
Villistas cleared out, from Juarez, and ]
then they returned to their own side ,
of the line, bringing with them seven
prisoners and about a hundred horses. '
It is known that a large number of ?
Villistas were killed by American ma- ,
chine gun and artillery fire. One .
American, Corporal Chicas, of the 7th
cavalry, was shot through the lungs by '
a Mexican rebel. The action of the 1
Americans cause.- some surprise in the ,
United States. It is not known whether
the interference was with the con- 1
sent of the Carranza government or 1

The peace terms presented to Ger- i

them to choose within five days," Mr.
IJonar Law added. "They must sign
or the armistice is at an end. There
mu3t be a just peace, but a peace must
be a stern peace." The speaker said
that the chief of the British Staff had
declared twenty-three different wars
were now going on, and added: "It
is not all over. It is quite possible by
want of wisdom, by absence of restraint,
by disunion among the Allies,
and by want of unity at home to lose
not the victory, but the full force of
the victory which has been bought so
dearly."
Rumors of new outrage by radicals ^
^ to be attempted Independence Day
have reached" the departmtnt 6f justice, 1
which is taking all needed precautions i
to forestall the plotters. Officials are (
very noncommittal regarding their discoveries,
but it was evident that nothing
was being left undone to make the
attempt a fiasco. Working in coopera- t
tion with the police of cities through- .
out the country, scores of radicals are
under observation and a number have 1
been taken into custody to be held un- 1
til they can be brought to trial or ^
Har>ir to the country from
which they came through institution
of deportation proceedings. Attorney I
General Palmer is giving much of his s
time to the investigation of the plots, .
one of which so nearly cost him and
his family their lives recently. He was *
in conference today with Francisco P. i
Garvan, his assistant in charge of ^
criminal investigations. \Vi!i J. Flynn,
head of the bureau of iuvestigation, 8
will arrive here tomorrow for conference
with Mr. Palmer, Mr. Garvan and s

cial assistant.
? Praise for peanuts was voiced in t
the senate for a half hour last Wednesday.
Edible and other properties of t
the nut are extolled in bi-partisan ap- i
provel on an amendment, by Sergeant ?
Swanson, democrat, of Virginia, to the
agricultural appropriation bill propos- 1
ing $12,000 for collection and distribu- s
tion by the department of agriculture <
of inarkH information on peanut conditions.
The peanut proposal finally
was adopted without a word of opposi- I
tion. In supporting the amendment, f
Senator Swanson said $200,000,000 was ^
invested in the peanut industry which
was important In eight states. Senator
LaFollette, republican, of Wis- t
consin said he wished to "speak a r
word for the peanut" and gave a testimonial
regarding their value, declaring c
he once had gained 40 pounds on a nut t
diet. Peanuts. Senator Simmons, dem- t
ocrat, of North Carolina, told the sen- ?
ate, are valuable food for humans and
hogs, being used to fatten the latter, 1
while Senator Smith, democrat, of i
Georgia, declared they aro the most t
important antidote against the cotton
boll weevil, if planted in rotation with 1
cotton crops. I
? Nothing official has yet become
known as to what action the German s
government will take regarding the t
peace treaty. At Weimar the docu- .
mont is being carefully studied by the
national assembly's peace commission. *
Unofficial reports are that there is
great dissatisfaction on the part of the
German cabinet members and high
German officials over what are considered
extremely hard terms. It is
said a large majority of the cabinet
members are opposed to signing the
treaty, but are fearful of a reign of
bolshevism and consequent chaos in
the country should they decline. German
newspapers take a dark view of
the outcome, whether Germany signs
or not. The newspapers which oppose
signing let their pessimism run to the
extent of expecting a resumption of
hostilities by the Allies Monday if the
armistice is permitted automatically to
end. While there is nowhere any indication
that if circumstances compel
the Allied troops to advance further
into Germany there necessarily will be
fighting, the American. British and
French troops will be prepared for any
eventualitv. If a further invasion be
comos necessary the troops will march j
into (Germany in battle formation.
A separate and immediate inquiry
into the disposition of surplus food
stocks by the war department was in- J
dicated last Tuesday by developments <
in both house and senate cominitt' os. (
C. W. Hare, director of sales in ihe .
departments demobilization organisation.
was questioned at leng*n by the *
senate military committee in this con- <
nection during: hearing's on the arm> ]
appropriation bill and later a resolution
calling: on Secretary Baker tor de- (
tailed reports as to quantities of food- t
stuffs held in storage was introduced (
in the house by Representative Tread way.
Republican (Massachusetts.) In
the meantime the house special com- '
mittee to investigate war department j
expenditures met and appointed five ,
subcommittees each of which will
handle a separate part of the supply (
and material expenditures. No date i
for beginning the hearings was set. ?
however, and there was some indication
that the food question might be
reviewed aside from these five in- r
quiries. The Treadway resolution <
seeks information, not only as to food
stocks on hand, but also as to offers received
for the surplus and details as to *
ontraets under which these stocks
rere acquired. Director Hare dealt
rith some of these matters before the
enate committee. His statement that
he food administration had refused to 1
?urc ha se war department surplus
itocks of bacon, but later had bought j
similar supplies consigned to the Italan
government, drew the attention of
ommittee members and Mr. Hare 1
igreedto give details of the transact- ,
ons later. He told of an agreement with
he national canners' association unler
which a huge store of canned vege- ]
tables owned by the government is
to be marketed. Director Hare estimated
the value of the war materials I
In this county owned by the government
at $2,000,000,000 dollars but did
not know the proportion regarded as
surplus. Chairman Wadsworth of the j
senate military committee announced
tonight that hearings on the army bill
would close tomorrow and that the <
[ ommittee to have the bill ready to
report to the senate late this week.

Entered at the Postofflce at York as
Mall Matter of the Second Class.
FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1919.
The Newberry Observer calls atten;ion
to the fact that the acts of the
eglslature, just out, forbid the killing
>f rats between certain dates, under 1
penalty of fine and imprisonment. It '
8 an error, of course, explains the Ob- 1
lerver, but it is in the law, as printed, '
ill the same. The law probably was
ntended to prohibit the killing of
nuskrats.
1 , . ,
Hon. John L, McLaurin writes in a 1
private letter from Minot, North Dakoa,
that he is in the hottest political 1
Ight that he has ever had anything to j
io with. The issue is a state bank law
passed at the last session of the North
Dakota legislature, and now before the
people on a referendum to be decided
jn June 26. In brief the law is the
ame as that which Mr. McLaurin ad- ^
located so strongly throughout South
Carolina. It proposes that the state 1
:ake over a large part of the banking ,
business, especially that part of it
vhich relates to farm loans under n '
system that contemplates that the payment
of 7 per cent interest on a debt
tor thirty years will pay the debt. For
nstance 7 per cent a year on $5,000 '
ivery year ior miny years wui numou
i reasonable interest charge, and along
with it sufficient sinking fund to cancel !
:he principal. The opponents of the :
low law, it appears from the North
Dakota papers, are trying to get the
ittorney general to meet Mr. McLaurin
on the stump; but so far the attor- j
ley general has not signified hio will- ]
ngness to accept- Mr. McLaurin prelicts
that the people of North Dakota *
ire going to sustain the banking law ]
ly a majority 01 about two-thirds.

Equal Rights to All.
If there is one idea that is more
Jtrongly guarded in America today *
:han any other, it is the idea of equal ]
rights to all fcnd special priviloges to
lone, and for this reason, if for no
>ther, America is safe from Bolshe- <
dsm. j
In Europe, especially in all the counries
of continental Europe, not count- ,
ng Great Britain, Bolshevism is a nat- ]
iral development of the systems that
lave existed for so many centuries? '
virtually always.
Europe has been a land of special 1
>rivilege, where has been defied the
pirit that impelled the strong to laud 1
t over the weak, where the strong es- |
eemed as the only weakness of which ,
t could be guiltily ashamed, was that !
veakness which recognized any re- \
iponsibility of the strong to the weak, j
The best possible definition of Bol- i
ihevism as it is understood and its i
Russian exponents are seek'ng to es- ]
ablish it at the present time, is the reention
of the age-old spirit and prae- i
ice without change except as to the <
dentity of the oppressor and oppress- j
id the policy of the bottom rail on <
op. The lash that the hand of the
irlstocratic nobility sought to lay and
lid lay on the back of the proletariat
-Bolshevism would place and has y
ilaced in the hand of tho proletariat
or application to the back of the auocratic
nobility. (
That is all there is to it. About it
here is a kind of poetic Justice; but
tothing to be commended. It is appli:ation
of the old Jewish law of eye for <
in eye and a tooth for a tooth not <
he law of God, but the old Jewish '
aw a law that was never sound and a ,
aw that will never be sound. It is in ;
10 wise better than the law of the
>lood feud, and that it could bring '
>eace, prosperity, contentment or hap>iness
is impossibleEngland
has been a land uf privilege *
ilso; but in England there has always J
)een a spirit of democracj a spirit
hat has feared absolutely rothing up>n
earth than to uphold wrong. Don't
et it be understood that E tgland has
lever been wrong, or that she is not
ioing wrong in many things now. But
he Englishman has always showed a
tendency and incination to do right,
rhore have always been people in
Sngland who would fight for the right,
ind the upholders of the right have
ilways prevailed sooner or later.
More victories for democracy have
aeen won on the soil of England than
>n the soil of any other country on
larth, and the fight goes on and on.
It was the best and highest ideals of
r^n^ictiiu wnivii, tu.rv.1x15 ruui 111 cm; ovu
)f America, in spite of foes from withn
and foes from without, have held
:heir own till now.
To be sure no reasonably well informed
student of the American idea
would think of claiming anything approaching
satisfactory development.
\ny one can see that socio-economic
conditions are far from perfect. Any
jne can see the unequal division of the ,
fruits of labor, intelligence and capital.
\.ny one can see lingering, even develpping

jpportunity and equality of enjoyment
:o a larger extent than in any other 1
country on earth.
There is the spirit of exclusive privilege
here and there is the spirit of Bolshevism
here. There is the spirit of
selfish disregard of the rights of oth;rs
here, and there is the spirit of re*
,-engeful hate here. But the dominant
spirit of America Is the fair deal for j
jverybody, and eventually that domilant
spirit will prevail throughout ev- 1
>ry nook and corner of the land. '
Bolshevism will never prevail in
America, even temporarily. ,

Moore repeated his proposition that he
utd associates would subscribe $250,- w

raise the balance. Those present represented
subscriptions of between
1105,000 and $110,000, and committees
were appoinieu iu tuuuuus u>?

opinion that unless the town could lra
raise at least $150,000 he would hardly m
feel justified in asking additional sub- tj(

AFTER FIFTEEN YEARS. u
Jim Thompson, aged about 70 years,
.vas committed to jail last Wednesday Pi
charged with a murder committed in
;he southwestern corner of Bullock's S
IJreek township fifteen years ago. a
Thompson's victim was Isaiah Jeter, 01
mother negro. Jjj
According to the records of the cor- h
jrner's inquest in the office of the clerk \
)f the court Thompson appears to have in
been paying: attention to one of Jeter's bj
laughters. He came to where she was ^
working in the field with her father. bi
Jeter threatened Thompson with rocks. b
Thompson went away for his pistol and ja
>n his return shot Jeter four times. ,
Jeter died from the wounds. '
That was on October 3, 1904After
the shooting, Thompson left the t?)
country, and although Mr. Jno. R. Lo- b,
gan, who was then sheriff, made dili- _j
gent effort to apprehend him, the sher- ?
iff was unable to get any satisfactory
trace of his whereabouts.
Magistrate Harris was not long in yj
getting information after Thompson b
thowed up in the old neighborhood a gc
Tew days ago, and arrested him with h
but little difficulty. g.
Thompson has little to say. He
:laims to have been in Orangeburg, S. b)
[?., and Washington, D. C., most of the
time during his absence; but Sheriff
Quinn has information that he has recently
been making his home ir '
3reensboro, N'. C. As a matter of fact
the sheriff was in correspondence with
% party at Greensboro with a view to ..
lefinitely locating Thompson at the .
time he was brought in.
Thompson says that he came back to
his old home in search of some of his
people, but was unable to find any of .
them.

SALE OF ROAD BONDS.
The sixty thousand dollar bond issue.
:cently voted by^ King's Mountain
iwnship for road improvement pur>ses,
has been purchased by the Bank
! Clover for $60,000, accrued interest

The award was made Wednesday at
)on by the board of commissioners of
ing's Mountain township roajl comissioners
at a meeting held for the
jrpose, after the consideration of all
ie bids submitted.
There were eight bids in all, each of
ie different bids being accompanied
T varying conditions.
Pruddens & Co., of Toledo, Ohio, ofred,
$60,011. with the understanding
lat they were to receive a commission
! $2,706.
Spitzer, Rorick & Co., offered par
id accrued interest to date of deliv y,

ith accrued interest to date of deliv y;
but failed to enclose a certified

The Citizens National Bank of Gasnia,
offered par and accrued interit
to date of delivery* for a commison
of $3,010.
Sidney Spitzer & Co., of Toledo, Ohio,
fered par, accrued interest to date of
jlivery, and a premium of $300, for a
mmission of $875.
The Bank of Clover offered par, and
icrued interest to date of delivery, on
tndition that the money be deposited
ith it during its disbursement
The Peoples Bank & Trust Co., of
ork, offered par, accrued interest to
ite of delivery, the printing of the
>nds and a premium of $502, condiDned
on receiving the deposit during
sbursement.
The Loan & Savings bank of Yorklie,
submitted an offer of 4 per cent
i daily balances for the use of the
oney, and the Bank of Clover offered
per cent on dally balances for the de)8lt
On the face of the bids the offer of
le Peoples Bank & Trust company
as the highest; but the commission's
assumed that inasmuch as the bid
as conditioned on the control of the
jposit, it was right and proper for
lem to also take the value of the dejsit
in consideration, and the result
as what amounted to a re-opening of
le bids on an auction basis.
The lowest unconditional bid was
lat of Sidney Spitzer & Co., which
nounted to an offer to take the bids
; par for a commission of $575.
On a basis of tbe deposit remaining
i the bank for a period of a year with
daily average balance of >30,000, the
terest at 5 per cent would amount to
1,500.
The Bank of Clover amended its bid
> as to take the bonds at par and pay
per eent on daily balances.
The Peoples Bank & Trust company
Tered to leave its premium of >502
ichanged, and pay 3 per cent on daily
ilances.
The commissioners agreed on a preimed
estimate as to what the daily
ilance would probably amount to
/er a possible period of two years,
jured both bids over the same period,
ich at the rate of interest offered and
scided that the bid of the Bank of
lover was the highest by >48.
LIBERTY AT LAST.
John Henry Powell, a negro from
cConnellsville, who was sent to Fort
aavenworth for twenty years, has
;en released from the Fort Leavenorth
disciplinary military barracks.
The release of the negro comes
irough the persistent efforts of Hon.
C Rrloo Into ohnlrmnn of Local E*
nption Board No. 2- '
The case involves one of those outLges
that have been more or less comon
in the- exhibition of military jusce
during the war. The negro was a
ctim of military procedure that does
it take into account the fitness of
lings.
It is a rather lengthy story, but shorn
.' some of its details it is like this,
owell is a harmless kind of a fellow,
ho if not crazy, is at least mentally
jficient. He ought never to have been
mt to the army in the first place. As
matter of fact he was turned down
l his first examination; but was sent
? later upon a re-examination. After
1 had been in Camp Jackson a month
2 showed up at the home of Mr. S. V.
ycock, for whom he had been work,g.
He told Mr. Aycock he had come
ick for a good night's rest and someling
to eat. Mr. Aycock reported
im to the board, and he agreed to go
ick of his own accord. Sometimo
ter he showed up at Me. Aycock's
fain. When the military authorities
ere notified they sent a military poleman
after him. Later he was sent
i Asheville to cut wood. He came
ick shortly afterward with the ex
anatlon that he was unwilling to stay
a country of "singing" snakes, ratBrs.
Investigation had previously connced
Mr. Brice and the other memjrs
of the board that the negro was
i deficient mentally that he had no
isiness in the army and they tried to
5t him out. The military authorities
; Columbia, however, refused to turn
Im back to ciVil authority. They exnined
him and decided that he was
entally and physically sound, and
ley sentenced him to Fort Loavenorth
for twenty years.
Mr. Brice felt outraged at the procure,
especially in view of the fact
iat the *wo Hardin negroes, who had
?serted and whose people were reliving
allotment money, while they
lemselves were hiding in a Lole under
stable on their own premises, had
?en given honorable discharges.
In correspondence with the authories
at Camp Jackson Mr. Brice critised
their conduct so severely that
iey declared that he should be pub:ly
reprimanded for such attitude
jainst officers for doing their duty,
ut Mr. Brice was not deterred. Parjhrasing
an appropriate Scriptural
xt, he said that if John Henry Pow1
deserved to go to the penitentiary
>r twenty years, those Hardin negroes
lould be sent up for a thousand years.
Unable to do anything with the
?ick-headed indifference of the Camp
ickson authorities, Mr. Briee took the
ise up with Secretary of War Baker,
on listed the personal co-operation
' Congressman Stevenson. Mr. Stevison
went earnestly into th? matter,
id after a few weeks Mr. Brier got a
omise that the ease would he invesgated
and adjudicated as soon as it
?uld be reached. This was back in
arch- Within the last few days Mr.
rice has received the following from
, C. Harris, the adjutant general of
le army:
"With further reference to your letr
of March 28, 1919, requesting clemicy
in behalf of John Henry. Powell,
infined at the United States discipliiry
barracks, Fort Leavenworth, Kans,
I am directed by the secretary of
ar to inform you that the unexecuted
irtlon of the sentence in the case of
j'well has been remitted. Notifica>n

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS.
Representatives of the York District t<
Christian Endeavor societies have been g
holding their annual convention with a
the Presbyterian church of Yorkvllle v
during Wednesday and yesterday, and 5
they have been having a moct pleasant e
and interesting time of it.
The convention was called to order n
Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock by o
Mr. J- T. Fain, of Rock Hill, the presi- a
dent, and since then tho proceedings ['
have been moving along in accordance t
with a programme that was full of in- t
terest and profit to all. ?
The big Presbyterian Sunday school ^
room was crowded with bright, happy t
young people at the opening session on
Wednesday afternoon, and the initial ^
meeting was a most encouraging earn- j
est of the pleasant and instructive ses- h
sions that followed. a
After song service led by Rev. F. a
H. Wardlaw, song leader of the con- C
vention, devotional exercises were con- tl
ducted by Rev. J. L. Gates, and there t!
followed an exhibition meeting of the to
Junior Christian Endeavorers under t!
the direction of Miss Ada Saunders, e
the superintendent of the local socie- a
ties. This meeting consisted of the n
regular routine of a Christian Endeav- r
or meeting as it should be held, with a
singing, prayer and instructive talks.
After the exhibition meeting there was to
a discussion of junior methods and a
work. h
The banner for the best work of the f
year was awarded to the Junior Chris r
tian Endeavor society of Rock Hill, E
Miss Esther McMurray, superintend- to
ent, the points on which the award was Q
made being the number of prayer C
meetings and the attendance thereon, d
the contributions to missions and char- *
ity, and the number of visits to the 8
sick, with other manifestations of t
steadfast activity and zeal.
Beginning at 6 p. m-, Wednesday
evening, a oanquei was lenacrea 10 an f
the registered visitors by local Chris- J:
tian Endeavorers and the congre- .
gation of the Presbyterian church. *
This was a most enjoyable affair,
greatly enjoyed by the grownups as
well as the young people. The good ].
things to eat and drink were choice _
and abundant, and the toasts and talk3
were most appropriate. i]
After song service Wednesday nighC n
devotional exercises were conducted by
Rev. J. E. Mahaflfey, and Rev. E. E. ^
Gillespie, D. D., pastor of the Presby- t
terian church, delivered an address of
welcome, which was responded to by
Miss Cora Hardin, of Chester. Then t
followed the convention address of the j
evening by Rev. L. P. McGhee, pastor f
of St. John's Methodist church, of t
Rock Hill. <
Rev. Mr. McGhee's subject was the t'
"Task of the Church After the War."
He handled the subject in a most t
able manner and in a most orthodox ,,
style. There will be no" universal v'
church or departure from the tenets
that have always been taught by sound n
expounders of Christianity, he declar- j,
ed. The main change in the church
usage of the past will be general recog- ?
nition of the duty and wisdom of giv- .
insr DroDer attention to the instruction
of children. He cited the great example
that has been furnished by the
Jews, who by taking up the proper
training of their children from earliest
infancy have firmly planted the great v
principles of their religion in their ?
race throughout all time. He cited the *'
various reforms that have been developed
in the Christian church at various r
times beginning with Constantine and 0
coming on down to the time of Calvin, P
Luther and others, and showed how J]
the reformers gave their atteh^ion to *
adults rather than children, how they Jj
sought rather to save the lost repro- ?
bate rather than preserve in its purity 1
the spotless soul of the child as it came ?
from God. His conclusion was that
the task of the church after the war ?
is to take hold of the children in the h
cradle and rear them up along the path c
which Christ has made for them, and J
which God would have them to follow. '
All the time not taken up by the
regular jbrogramme In the convention
hall, is being filled In with rounds of >
entertainment, teas, parties, automobile
rides and other diversions that "
make the stay of the visitors delight- f
ful to all concerned.
Yesterday morning's programme was
opened with song service led by Mr. .
Wardlaw, followed by devotional exer- .
cises conducted by Rev. B. H. Waugh, .
of the Baptist church of Yorkville.
The remainder of the programme up j

LOCAL LACONICS
Fort Mill Disturbed About Liquor. ,i
Fort Mill June 17: At a call meet- '
ing of town council last night the mat- a
ter of the prevalence of drunkenness P
and the illicit sale of alcoholic bever- v
ages was very exhaustively discussed
and ways and means of coping with
v>o situation considered. It is believed
that illicit stills are being operated t;
near Foil Mill and that the bi-weekly n
quart law of the adjoining state of s|
North Carolina is being used to secure .\
quantities of whiskey for sale in this si
territory. At least one organization |j
has invoked the aid of the state offi- |t
cials and the local authorities are con- ;>
tinually working for evidence to approhend
and convict the outlaws. r
Another Bullock's Creek Still. 11
Constables Coy Jones and H. L. 1,
Johnson broke up a still on G. M. Hor- j,
ton's place on Bullock's creek in Bui- j-.
lock's Creek township, last Sunday.
The still was made of a forty gallon w
gasoline tank, buried in the bank of a
branch; a singling barrel and n worm !.j
A galvanized iron pipe led from the ^
still to the singling barrel. The worm
was of copper and of the most approved
manufacture. The officers got no
positive information as to the ownership
of the still; but they got some o|
very strong suspicions. One citizen, '
for instance, told them that he did not O
know who was running the still, but if v
he did know he would not take the rJ
trouble to walk across the street in or
- |M
der to ten aoout it.
I>i
Neighbors at Ramah. w
A neighborly kind of people are peo- tl
pie of the Ramah section, as was evi- tci
denced by an incident that occurred oi
there this week. The family of Lleek r<
McCarter, including himself and sever- pi
al children, was stricken with me. sles. w
They are people who deservedly stand in
high in the estimation of folks who
know them. Because of the illness of
the workers the crop went to the bad.
The situation was brought at the atten- '
tion of Ramah congregation last Sun- _
day, and on Tuesday morning eighteen
hoe-hands, including two negroes, sent
by employers, appeared in the fields at
and went after the grass. By noon the M
task was completed and Mr. McCar- ye
ter's crops were in as good shape as if wi
they had been getting all that was 11
coming to them. Otherwise they would W
have been lost. de
No Hope for Beer and Win?.?Cerlin
defeat for efforts to have conress
except beer and wine from opertion
of the wnr-time prohibition law '
ras seen in an overwhelming: vote of
5 to 11 in the senate against an ex- ^
mption proposal.
By that margin, the senate tabled a
lotion by Senator Phelan, Democrat,
f California, to add a rider to the
grlcultural appropriation bill for aplicaticn
of the war-time prohibition
tw to distilled spirits alone. The sen- 1
iment of the senate thus expressed in t
he first test vote of this congress was
aken generally to sound the death
nell for measures designed to permit
se of beer and wines under the warime
legislation.
A new tact was taken in the house 1
y advocates of suspension of the war- *
ime prohibition law's provisions in so
ar as they affect beer and wines. The
louse* judiciary committee received
nd agreed to vote next Saturday on
n amendment, by Representative l
lard, Democrat, of Ohio, to prohibilon
legislation which would authorize
he president to suspend the war-time
ian on beer and wines. Rejection of
he amendment by the committee genrally
was predicted. The committee 1
lso decided to recommend enforce- *
tient of prohibition by the internal
evenue commissioner, and not by a
pecial prohibition commissioner.
Disposition by the senate of the Phean
proposal came after little discusion,
except by Mr. Phelan, and none l
y advocates of prohibition. The Call- .
ornia senator urged that the senate's ~
ules against legislative rideis on apiropriation
bills be set aside to make ,
lis rider in order. As such motion re- :
uired two-thirds majority, Senator
Ironna, Republican, of N'orth Dakota,
eclared that interminable debate
rould be entailed and moved to table n
Senator Phelan's motion, shutting off "
urther discussion.
Baptists Will Raise Big Sum.?South ^
Carolina Baptists are already at work 8
i! plans to raise their share of the
75,000,000 fund proposed to be collected
rom Southern Baptists for the church
xtension fund. The state's quota will a
irobably be over $5,500,000 and will be g
pportioned in the pro rata share j
mong the over 1,100 Baptist churches j
n the state. While no actual solicitng
will be done until late in the year _
auch preparatory work must be com
netea Derore me campaign Degins.
'he raising of this large fund i3 due _
o the foresight of leading men of the 1
outh who put the proposed compaign 8
lefore the Southern Baptist conven- "
ion at its meeting in Atlanta last 8
-lay. This drive for $75,000,000 was "
ormally decided upon after the Mehodists
had been successful in their
35,000,000 campaign for reconstruc- j
ion and extension work. <:
Some of the causes to be contributed 5
0 with the great fund are state mis- j
ions, home missions, Sunday school .
york and all its departments, the eduation
-board, colleges and academies, .
sinister* board and the board of min- j
storial education. With these and rj
ther agencies of the faith to be helped i!
South Carolina workers believe the *
ask will be accomplished.

uissioner's letter discloses no provisos
whatever allowing an individual 1
he privilege of securing any alcoholic

se. The commissioner refers to this, 4

many calls for Soda that we have
bought ten tons more. We expect to
receive this Soda the early part of next

write them if we succeeded in getting
the Soda. We will notify all parties
through The Enquirer when the Soda

"THE GIRL OF TODAY"?
Is truly a vastly different one from
the girl of your grandmother's time,
and if you ask us, wo prefer the modern
one, too. Corlnne Griffith Is the
particular damsel, and to say she fits
the role Is putting it mildly: A thrilling
romance is woven through this tale
of the girl who dedicates herself to
fighting German plots In her native
country. The story was written by
Robert W. Chambers, which bespeaks
tense dramatic Interest and love appeal,
and you'll find it all there in m
buckets full- ^
