Put into practice the noble principles which t1he -Great Spirit hath given unto you, he -urged them. The Red Men were not far wrong, he said, when -they held ;that he who hunted well in the -forests of life would be permitted the privileges of the happy hunting grounds beyond. The sermon.to the Red Men by Mr. Graves on Sunday afternoon was preached in the opera house, and there was a large attendance of the mem bers of the order and of the people of the city. Bergell ;Eribe attended in a body. Seated on the stage with the speaker were the great sachem of South Carolina, Hon. Cole L. Blease, and Col. E. H. Aull, representing the Bergell tribe. Mr. Graves has attained a high po sition in the order, being at present great junior sagamore. He is devoed to its principles and his exposition of those principles on Sunday afternoon was clear, logical land eloquent. The three steps of ,Freedom, Friendship and Charity men must take, he said, if they would trod successfully the pathway of life. And running through the whole eloquent message Which be brought was the -admonition to get out into the world and get to work. lhe order of Red Men .in.

The work which tliheyhave done is not published to tke world, but iE is known by -those who have received the benefits. In his sermon to -the order on Sun day afternoon Rev. Mr. Graves said: "Ye men eof Galilee, why stand ye gaging up into .heaven? this same Jesus, which' is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner -as ye shave seen .him go into heaven."

J. C. Stribling Writes of the Prop osition for a Second Agricultural College in Pee-Dee Section. To the Editor of the News and Cou ier: In the News Lid Courier of )ctober 31 there appeared an article dvocating a second Clemson col ege, taken from the Pee-Dee Advo ate. The Advocate seems to think, judg ng from the tenor of its article, that bout the only agricultural region in outh Carolina that is worthy of any -onsideration is located in the south astern part of e ate, and that the entral star ';-- ri-tv, wealth, :nowledge -.-I ri' a- Icultural pos ibilities is iii. .a county, and hat this centr:- .tar should hang ver Benne"-vil!e. To s.- : cas:. t : 'ivocate is ot C-:L1.Ceit in its ar''t. We ail 1:. sc the necessity rir %i agri ult::ral college located in a region hat has alre-ady beaten the world in aa:y of its faIrm crops. and said re io, has be-.a c:::z-.;:c 'by nare with oil and climate that cannor be im rovet. rpon by the knowldge and and of man! The Pee-Dee Advocate, it would eem, does not approve of -helping the tee:'y, rather it-advocates a policy ai t'. -e state that would tend to make he na-turally rich soils of the state icher, an'd 'the . bleak and barren oorer. This pol.icy would tend to aake the fat of the land fatter, and he poor, poorer. It would also add aore knowledge to the Pee-Dee sec ion, that is -according to the Advo ate, already -head' and shoulders above 11 The balance of the state in its :nowledge of farming. Now, it is considered by most armers that most any fooi. can' make ,ood crops on lands where the soil 5 naturally rich in all elements th-at re necessary to grow good crops. lut, it takes quite a different kind of armer to apply the -deficient elements o our poor lands, to make them pro uce profitable crops! In other words, t takes a man with a knowledge of he science 'of is business to take up he barren lands of our state and ma'ke hem blossom again with profitable rops like the rose. Instead of only two or three per ent of the students taking the agri ultural course at 'Clemnson-as stated 'y the Advocate--there is'40 per cen-t >f the students taking the agricultural ourse at Clemson. N The tren'd of the times is' rather to vards co,ncentration in all such in titutions as Clemson, w~here the ma hinery and other equipments are very :xpensive. The day of dismemiber nent in such things is past. There s s:rength in concentration here. Georgia farmers ares just now in the nidst of a 'hot discussion in 'favor >f combining 'her several' state agri ultural institutions with one similar o Clemson. Georgia farmers think 'hey have two failures in 'the separa ian of their state institutions, where hey might have started with one in titution and made a success, instead >f two or more failures, as 'they claim o ihave in their 'state at present. We admire the pluck of the Pee )ee Advocate, but deplore .its 'wis Loin in this matter of directing Clem on college, perhaps the greatest state tgricultural college in the South. We should think it the very best hing for the Pee-Dee section for 'her armers tio send a large delegation of ier sons to Clemson and 'have them aught 'there how to grow profitable :rops on th'e 'bleak hills of the Pied nont region, and when they return to -heir 'homes in 'the Eden of The Pee Dee region their sons migh1t grow ich at an early day, and there write )ut upon the face of the earth there he great possibilities of that alluvial -egion when put under the 'hands of he scientific training of her sons. T. C. Stribling, SU IMARY OF ELECTIONS IN THE SEVERAL STATES Washington, Nov. 8.-The election If Jo.hn M. Pattison, Democrat, as : f Ohio by approximately ;o.oco plurality over Myron T. Her ri: the prese'" Repufolican govern i-:an mmediate appeal by William R. H ear::t. te Municipal Ownership canckidate for the New York mayoral ty t-o the supreme court 'to contest McClellan's reelection in- that city on the basis of alleged evidence of whole sale illegal acts at the polls; a plur ality of 3,485 votes for McClellan; an immediate contest by the Fusionists in Louisville in the courts against the election of Democratic municipal offi cers and members of the legislature, were the developments in today's elec tion aftermath. McClellan's plurality is the mini mum on record for a successful rmay oralty .candidate in New York. Mr. Hearst's managers claim evidence of illegal acts against i,ooo inspectors of election and *that 30,000 of his adher ents were turned back from -the polls because their names already had been voted. District Attorney Jerome has announced he will. immediately make a searching investigation of the al leged wholesale frauds and has order ed the returns from the eiglhteenth and sixth assembly districts to be care fully guarded. These are the home dis tricts of Tammany leaders, Murphy and '?Tim" Sullivan. All through Ohio the belated re turns showed Republican losses and Republicans concede Pattison plural ity reaches 25,000. Te democrats claim Pattison's plurality approxi mates. 55,ooo, which would elect the entire democratic 'icket. The legis lature is democratic. The city party's (reform) plurality in Philadelphia is 43,333 for sheriff. The upheaval was the greatest in Pennsylvania for many years. The Maryland legislature is demo cratic and Atkinson, demiocrat, for - comptroller is elected. In Rhode Island, the republican gubernatorial candidate has a plurality of 4,342. In Massachusetts, democratic threats are made of a recount of the vote for lieutenant governor. Dr-aper, the i-e publican candida-te, having received less than 2,000 plurali.ty. Fvery can'didate of the Union Lalbor party in San Francisco was elected by substantial majorities; in Salt Lake, the -anti-Mormon victory is made oo.mplete by the election of the en tire 'American party city ticket. In Kentucky the legislature whidhs will elect a successor to Senatora Blackdburn is heavily .democratic. The democrats elected a mayor in Louis ville by abou't 2.500 Nebraska was swept by the re'pub licans. Returns from other states and ci-ties show no notable changes. A Comparison. Alany men think that newspaper men are persistent dunners. By way. of comparison. le: us suppose a far mer raises '.ne 'thousand bushels of w~h eat a year and sells this to one thousan-d persons irn all parts of the country, a greater portion of them, say. "I will ~hand you a dollar in a short time." The farmer cares not to be "small" and says. "Airight." Soon the one thousand bushels are gone, 'but he 'has nothing 'to show for it, and he 'then realizes that dhe ha.s fooled away his whole crop, and its value is due him in a thousand little d-riblets, consequently he is seriously embar-' rassed in his' business because 'his debtors, -each owing him one doflar treat it as a small matter and think it would not Ihelp much. Continuing this kind of business year in and year out as the publisher does, how long would he stand it? A mno.ments thought will convince any one that a publisher has cause for dunning some life of your companions. There is no conflict between true fraternal order and the churcl, Christ. Christ alone can give to 'n the new life needed to help men to noble deeds of charity. May we cl; ty'e humble position of helping .th new born creatures to bless world by deeds of charity. Brethren of -he Improved Order Red Men, the Great Spirit has cc mitted into our hands rhe princil and secrets of our noble order.
