THERAN PUBLISHING HOUSE
United Synod Decides to Build in
Oolumbia -Th' Site Has Been
Secured.
The State..
Charlott6, N. C., July 14.-The pub
lication committee of the United Syn
od of the Southeran Lutheran church,
in session at Dallas, N. C., this af
ternoon made a report recominending
the establishment of a Lutheran pub
lishing house ait Columbia, S. C.
Through its chairman, Rev. W. L.
Seabrook, the committee relorted
that )rivate parties inl Columbia had
offered the church a site in the (-eie
tre of the business section of tle city
for $14,000 and that several liberal
donations of eash to a publislhing
house project had beeln Offered by
Columbia citizens. The report stated
that by means of.these contributions
and first. and second mortgages on the
Ioperty, 1mle)10 filids could be se
cured wherewith to erect a bnilding
and11l equil) it for a Iblishinlg house.
The property is stated to he,a -ood
investiment and at any tine it could
he sold( for man.111y times-, its cosi.
After leigthy debate. the syiiod
adopted the repor-t of the-colmmittee
and a resolution of Dr. Seabrook that
the propety be purchased amid the
publication house established.
The synod adjourned tonight to
meet again in October, 1908, in Sa
vannah.
For several years the organ of the
Southern Lutheran clrch, The Luth
cran Visitor, has been publish in Co
lumbia, and recently the Rev. W. H.
Greever, l)astor Of the St. Paul's
Lutheran church, has been the editor
in-chief. It. has been the purpose for
some time to develop this paper and
extend the business here, and this ac
tion of synod makes that project a
certaiinty.
Tlie site of the publishiii.g house is
inl a prilil)ipl blusinless locillity and
the purchase price is $14.000. All of
the deeds aid traisfers have niot yet
been made complete, and it is not yet
thiloulit advisable ho make tile defi
nite location knowii. Whei the legal
formalities are finished, tle synod
will at oice-in fact has instructed
its committee to proiceed with the
work. An architect will be imniedi
ately employed to draw plans for the
renovatioin of the pwesenlt structure
and the addit' .n thereto. The build
ing will be thi . tories in height and
of large and stio.antial size, occu)y
ing approx ia tely 50 feet frontage.
From this niblishiig house will Ie
issuted the various Lutheran periodi
cals and in time well nigh all of the
literature for Sunddy school and oth
er work inl this State and adjoin
inr Southern territory.
rhe commi--it tee appointed by I Ie
synod( ponisists oif Rev. WV. L. Sea
br'ook, chmairmani; R1ev. .John1 W Hor
rine, of Charleston, Dr. .J. A. B. Schier
er and, Dr. George B. Cromer, both
oif Newberry, and Hon. D. Frank
Efird of Lexington. This committee
will hold a meeting about September
1, to for'mulate further plans and to
elect a permanent editor for the Luth..
eran Church Visitor.
The new publishinig house will mean
much to Columbia, in that many skill
ed workmen will be brought here in
addition to those already in this
line of work in this city. Not all of
the building will be occupied just af
tor. thet establishment of the enter
prise, by this business itself, and in
the vacant space thus afforded there
will probably be two stores on the
first floor, some new business will be
established. Some of these are al
ready'on foot..
Among those who have been parti
cularly active in gettinig plans formu
lated for presentation of this offer
to the synod at its meeting at Dallas
was Rev. WV. H. Greever oif this city.
Mr. Greever, a ptriotid Columbian,
thinks that there is- no place like this
city for the establishment of such a
business. He has beeni actively con
nected withl the Luthei-an publientions
for some years.
The cost of the building and prop
erty will be about $~30,000. In mak
ing the offer to the synod on Satur
urday Mr. Greever said that the prop
erty could be sold ot an advance of
the price asked, $14,000, at any time,
and that a first mortgage could
easily -be secuied amounting to $20,
000 and that a second mortagage of
$10,000 could be arranged, thus en
abling the committee to arrange for
the purchase of the property, the
erection of a building and the provis
ion of equipment and that this could
all be accomplished for $38,000, lear
ing only $8,000 to be secured in addi
tion to the anouiit. seenred from the
mortgae. Tle Lutheran denomiiia
tion in Columbia has contributed
abo'ut $1,000 towarls the work.
(In this statement the State is
mistaken. Tie utheran Visitor was
Imblished for twenity years in New
beri.y and s,ould have remained here
and the Imb!Cation house should have
beenl established here, anld would if
our business men would have takenl
the least initerest in tihe matter and
given those whostruggled here so many
years to Teep the paper alive, tihe
least encounar1ement.-Ill. H. & N.)
JONES AND' BLEASE.
At Orangeburg Meeting Newberry
Candidates Discuss Local Con
ditions.
The following is part of the report
of the Orangeburg meeting:
Senator Cole. L. Blease braved
Orangeburg's public opinion by op
posing negro state college here and se
cured applause. He stated Manning's
legislative record amid some hostile
remarks and hurrahs for Manning.
Mr. Blease in.ijeeted much vigor in
to his remarks and at first seemed to
face an entirely hostile audience, but
he was roundly cheered as lie pro
ceeded amid cries of ''tell it all,''
''hurrah for Malning,'' ''le'll beat
you,'' ''go it Blease,'' etc.
When Jones, of Newberry, spoke
lie read a let ter froin Chief of Po
liee Harris, of Newherry, stating
there is marked il'proveiellt. in con
ditions there since tihe dispensary
elosed 111 aind that lie law and ordi
naIces against the sale of liquor are
beinx riuidl'y eiforced. Mr. Blease
proipfly10 arose aid asked Jones,
'Didn't lie know that the chief of
police had circulated a petition and
did all he could to vote out the dis
pensary in Newberry?''
Before lie could reply, Mr. Blease
shot this question: ''And didn't you
write a letter to the mayor of New
berry to the same effect and lie refus
ed to reply? '
Mr. Jones: ''I don 't know why he
refused.'
Mr. Jones declared Blease had been
repudiated by the people of Newber
ry.
Mr. Blease: ''How maiy democrats
voted inl that eleetion? Not one-third
of the white voters.''
Mr. .Jones: ''You are mistaken.''
By this time (lie two men wvere fac
ing eachl othier thiree feet ap)art. Jones
had rushed towards Blease in a defi
ant attitude and Blease met him brist
hing with a volley of talk and ques
tioiis that w.ere almost drownued by
yells from the crowd. A rough house
seemed imminent, b)ut throughout the
din was heard this much:
Blease: ''What kin to you is C. C.
Davis, who 'told all those things to
the investigating comtte'
Jones: "'He is my brother-in
Blease: ''That's why he is back
ing you in this race.''
Jones -"'You cannot say anything
about him.''
Blease: ''When he said that I was
Hub Evans' otte.rney lie lied.''
Mr. Jfones reply could not be
hteardl and Mr'. B;;eas' followed with
this question:
'' Ain't you time man who told Lyon
and Chmristensen that Davis wvould1
testify to these things?''
-Mr. Jones admitted this andl de.
celared lie had had a great deal to dc
towards %nrthieing the investigation.

it looked as if lie was ready for' an on.
