acts were not only violations of the

were directly aimed against t'".:e enforcement

acts which sought to suosutute tne riue i

orderly administration o: the laws by
the people acting through their
legally established tribunals.
"If such acts were left unchecked
and permitted to continue, and if such

would ultimately and necessarily result
in the subversion of all .aw and

This is the culmination of the night
of rioting about the Spartanburg jail

negro, Will Fair, who was afterwards
acquitted of the charge of criminal

unnappy Belgians, despite govci-umcu- ;
lal relief, the Rockefeller foundation !
and other valuable agencies, are con- j
fronted with starvation. I therefore i
beg the favor of your columns to'
say that tne Dollar Christmas Fund I
for Homeless Belgians, of which I am |
treasurer, is working ;or the special j
purpose of preventing starvation
amongst hundreds of thousands of j
Belgians this winter. For this pur- j
pose we are cooperating with the Lon- |
d.on '*S. illing Fund" a much older J
fund which has collected nearly $400,-1
000 which is expressly organized to
see that no Belgian man, woman or
child spends Christmas-tide devoid of
food and shelter.
Tiiere will be no duplicating, no j
overlapping and every penny subscrib- j
ed will go direct to the victims in;
wC-tose behalf I appeal. I believe this i
great work of mercy commands the j
sympathy of us all and more especial-;
ly in this month when American doub- j
Iy blessed with peace and plenty are j
preparing to celebrate the Day of,
Thanksgiving. inspired by this j
thought I suggest various ways in,
which you can help to avert tfhe agony j
I
nf ciifferine: which must otherwise j
confront the refugees during the com-;
ing winter. You can send a donation !
to our fund addressed to myself as
treasurer, Messrs. Henry Clews & Co.,1
bankers, Broad street, New York, or j
you can apply to our secretary, Percy;
| Bullen, 66 Broadway, New York for a
collecting card. He will be glad to
issue same to any person enclosing
references. Churc'res, chapels,' clubs, (
societies and Sunday schools can as- j
sist by a collection. Entertainment j
committees may render great help by j
sending us the proceeds of benefit.
performances. In all these ways '
friends everywhere are assisting no-i
bly. All the money received will be
cabled to Europe before December 20. j
Many heads of families and boarding'
houses have promised to "pass the
nl?te" for the homeless Belgians be
fore the turkey on Thanksgiving day.!
The needs are immeasurable. Let us
remember that no little nation in the
world's long history has been more;
grievously stricken yet no people can i
raise their heads more proudly from
the dust. The crown of thorns is
still a crown! Help us as best you
can. Your gift will surely be remembered
long a ter the war has ceased

mas day will be the less 'happy because
in some cases the gift may en-1
tail some measure of personal sacrifice.

scribers have come to him recently
and commended my observations and
| that they were the main thing for
j which they wanted to see The Herald
I and News. Well, tnat is all very kind
and I know must make the editor feel j
mighty bad and it does not in the least
sweil my head. T^.en, sometimes I
thing maybe it would be a good timo

thinks well of you and it is a good
to stop preaching before you have
tired your congregation. But here
goes. I have reached that point in
life long ago that I Triad become almost
too much indifferent to public opinion
and what people think or what they
say about me. It concerns me very
litle. I am not hunting votes. I am not
seeking popularity. Of course, I would
not be human if I was not conscious
of a little ripple of joy when people
say nice things about me and when
they speak well of me, but what I
mean is it does not disturb me when j
fcbey revile and abuse and say unkind
things, because I go alohg try
ing to do the be?t I can and to treat
every one lc'idly and courteously and
to speak toe truth, and all I crave
is for the rest to
"Let me live in my house by the i
side of the road and be a friend to j
man."
The editor tells me that he has
been requested to help work up a
sentiment, or advise the merchants to '

come on Friday. Well, I had never
thought of it but the suggestion seems
to be a good one to me and I see no
reason why it should not be adopted.
Yes, give the clerks two days for j
Christmas, and then put something in '
their stockings on Christmas eve. It'
will recall to them the good old times ;
of their youth' around the old cbirn- j
ney in that happy country home of
their childaood. There is . nothing
greater in this world than to make
other people happy. It is one thing
that works both ways at Che same
time. Wf': en you make others happy
you are happy yourself. Did you ever !
try it? If not go out and speak a
kind and pleasant word to tne nrst .
person you meet, and then take an
inventory of yourself, and if you do
not feel better I will set 'em up.
Let the clerks have two days and
Sunday too for Chrsitmas.

Mr. Editor, I wish you would tell
your reporter that I read the follow- j
ing in a paper the other day: "One
thousand churches in Kansas have:
been abandoned on account of the J
automobile. i
"This is something to cause us j
thoughtful persons to think. Person- i
ally there is nothing we like better
than to think. We often do. It has I
a strange fascination for us."
This paper was dated September 20, i
1913. I reckon things are better out!
in Kansas by this time. Maybe the i
automobiles are bringing the churches j
in. At least they should be bringing j
the people to t':e churches. I {/nought
maybe the reporter would like to I
think and they may cause him to think |
He has-been talking about the people
not going to church and about starting
a go-to-chureh movement in Newberry.
The automobiles are here and j
possibly they will help to bring in tine j
churches. The people of Newberry |

was thinking that it was not a good
idea to get into your head that going
to church was the whole show. I
am an advocate of the gc-to-church
movement because if we 'had no
churches we would soon be real heathens.
Every one should go to church
at least once every Sunday. He will
feel better all the rest of the week.
?o?
I was reading in this same paper
anot'her article by tlhe same writer on
"Why men loaf on muddy street crossings.''
and he concludes with this
paragraph: ">We suppose that we are
an old fogy; but if there is anything
we hate, it is a girl going around in a
slashed skirt until a person can see
the First National Bank." Of course
that was out in Kansas too. He did
not mean the First National Bank of
Newberry. But the slashed skirt has
gone out of fashion and they tell me
fViof +ho VinKhlo ic crniri or inn nr Viae:
ixiuu "vwwig 10 i/wvj vi
gone. They both should go and then
the skirts should be made of cotton
and the price would go up at once.
This fellow says he hates the slashed
skirt and yet listen to what he says
in this same connection: ''When there
is a slashed skirt around, we can't
keep our mind on congress. Even
when tfhere is an especially attractive
sunset beins: Dut on. our mind isn't
on the sun. We'll have to confess that
it's on the daughter." Now what do
you think of that? Isn't it awful? And
yet he says he is a high salaried editor.
But i: you really want to think, as
a good mental and moral exercise,
think on this little paragraph I saw
the other day in t>he Anderson Intelligc-ncer:
"There is in Anderson a
thoroughbred gentleman so good and
kind and true that he puts into practi>p
wp believe, tte sentiment ex
pressed in these lines from Sheridan
which he found and called to our attention:
"Believe not each accusing tongue
As most weak persons do,
But still believe that ctory wrong
Which ougfct not to pe true."
(Think on the thought here expressed
so beautifully. If you had a community
of such men and women you
would not fcave to form your go-tonhnrch
club. We are so ready to b*
lieve "each accusing tongue." In fact
most of us prefer to believe it whether
the story ought to be true or not.
I wonder if there is a man or woman
in Newberry who puts into practice
t?' e lines here quoted. Read them
over. Think on them until you ;hear
from me again. It will do your soul
good. Better than baseball or foothali
or movies or anything that I can suggest.
"Believe not each accusing tongue."
