GET OUT INO THE
WORLD---GET TO WORE
SERMON TO RED MEN ON SUN
DAY AFTERNON.
Eloquent Message Brought By The
Rev. J. H. Graves-A Large
Attendance.
"Get out into the world and get to
work," was the message given -the
Red Men bf Newberry by the Rev. J.
H. Graves on Sunday afternoon. 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. New
bery has steadily grown sincels r.
emiiation and today is one of the
in Newberry. 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."

to degree that he may command the c
i.fe, mountains which loom up before him C
ght to remove and they will obey. He
to may give all of his earthly possessions s

ves charity, but unless he possesses that c
ic;h love for God and man of which the
Flu- Master speaks in 'the summing up of ,r
ers the commandments it will all profit f
nly hi-m notheing. Free charity enables c
joy man to humbly walk the pa.th of life t
the bearing the sufferings Providence r
res places on -him seeking nothing for g

4r. 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.

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.
