The heaviest rain that has ' alien in this section in many a day came 011 j "Wednesday. The small streams were j swollen and the mail carriers had a i i time getting in from their routes. The roads are in fearful condition but all this does not seem to impress the people with tlae importance and neoesr?m*Tvor anvthine- to make per- j ?iijr wu. 0 inanent roads and to provide some means for their maintenance. Every one is talking about the condition of the roads "but when it comes to making some provision for their -proper maintenance there is no one at home. We have had about two months now with only three or four days of sun>io<5 n/vt onlv nut tine roads axsiiiv:. 11 uuo uvv v * ? in fearful condition but it has kept many (farmers from sowing their wheat and oats.

The testimony of the reformed yeggman, ;McCarthy, in tfte preliminary hearing of the yeggman, O'Day, in Columbia the other day, and "ivhich i.s printed in this issue of The Her aid and News, brings out a very siring (human story and one^ which should he brought more forcibly to the attention of the Cfrrisitan people of this generation. We suppose human nature has been very much the same since the days of the apostles when the Christ twent about and tried to impress the lesson that he had 1 -3 +V, ^ come to save me iwss <mu .uvt saved. 'McCarthy says that he tried very hard after he <was convicted of the error of his ways to live right, but ho was hounded by detectives and others and \Maen he managed to get a posi tion and was making good in it some one was always ready to tell his employers that he had "been a yeggmau. He says: "Detectives, Pinkertons and others, caused me tc lose or forced me to give up position after position." The same old story. When a man wrong, and gets down there is no one to help him on bis '-'eet, and encourage him to live right or give him a chance but there are always a lot of good Christian men and women ready and willing to keep him in the ditch and shove him further down the hill. Further on in his testimony he says: "For some months I was confidential man for the superintendent of the Adams Express company at Philadelphia. I could fcave stolen $50,000 most any day tne time I held this position. The Pinkertons told the superintendent of my past. I was dropped." Instead of helping this man to be a man and a good citizen and to lead a life that was upright and honest the minions of the law and others were always ready to do him injury and to make it impossible for him to be a T>etter man. It is the same rule followed by man so-called Christians, not only in the case of reformed yeggmen, ^ut of any one els? who has misfortunes or reverses of any kind. Instead of lending a helping hand they use their energies to keep him under the ban. :It is the story of Mary {Turner in the strong novel "fVVithin the Law." Mary Turner was a young lady of good lamny and good Diood vno iosi n-er fatfcer and who had to work in a de<partment store for the means of a living and on a wage that barely gave the actual necessities. She was wrong ly accused of theft and was sentenced and served a term. .After coming from prison she secured work and every j time some one came along and to.'d that she . ad been in prison and she lost her position. Then she determined in her desperation to live within the law and to see v.t at could be done. Sbe prospered and got her revenge. There are many things done within the law that are a great deal worse than those tor which many a man or woman is kept down and forced by what are denominated the Christian people of the country, and tn-e world is not growing much better along that line. It will continue to be so as long as money is King ana iuie?. ARE WE NEUTRAL? In the great war that is raging in Europe the United States claims to pe neutral. The appeal has been made for us to send help to the starv- j in? Belgians and we have responded | i to the call. Alongside the ship carrying supplies 0'.' food and closing to fhe starving Belgians goes a ship carrying munitions of war such as powder and guns and cartridges to help produce more suffering and starving. Is that charity and is that the spirit of neutrality.

Senator (Hitchcock is right. We are helping to continue the war. The editor of tfae flatherland says that 'were the war material from the United States withheld, tlie war would come to an end in sixty days or less." II that >be true is it not also true tfrat otatoc- ic. fwnt.rftmtine to '.lie umiw ? ^ ~ ~? ^ the continuance of the greatest war of the world? And the United States is not sending any aid to u-erman hut only to the triple entente. iAnd yet she is a neutral nation. The editor of the Fatherland euumerates some of the war material that the United States is fu'rnishing to the allies and without winach they could not carry on the war. And yet the United States is hands off: "Two 'hundred thousand rifles, caliber .303, ifrom the Remington Arms company.

President Wilson some time ago j set apart one Sunday for special pray- j er for peace. It v.as observed pretty j generally. Vet on week days sine-* *i -en and at the time we have been irtd were manufacturing war material and shipping it to Europe to continue the war. Where is the consisteny? Prof. Flugel, shortly before ins j I death, wrote a pamphlet tha^ contain-j ed some theological observations on j I ' the war silnaJon. He ?avs in tbi^ i pamiO let that hp wculd call "the sup-1 plying of dynamite to warring nations j in combination v,ith prayers for peace j the superlative of .blasphemy and j hypocrisy.'' And Prof. Flu gel is not far wrong. He is quoted in Literary Digest a & saying more explictly: "Do American -firms really ship on ! I week-days such goods as will help to protract the war, and do their principals and clerks really pray on Sundays for the stopping of the war? Does the American government countenance such things? Do the American peo-ple approve o>? such tfcings? Do American ministers know of such things? "If they do, then I beg to make the following theological suggestion: "Since peace-makers are addrest on Sundays to the same deity which on week-days seems to send his blessings to thp commerce of this prosperous | country, I suggest that you should, in j the interest of your mercantile parishioners, ad-dress now and then a fervent prayer ifor the safe conduct and happy arrival of the dynamite and gunpowder at the '.oreign harbors, that the dynamite may blast away the nigat of darkness in those heathen lands, and that more and more and more such orders may come, forever and ever. "Of course on the same Sundays on whim you pray for dynamite or- j ders, you ought not to pray for a | speedy Tieace; hew could more or-1 i ders 'be "filled if peace should come?! (There must be logic in everything.) j No, you might alternate and pray one! Sunday for peace (as our president +Via npyi frvr dvna-I IUIU IVS tu UV/ auu cm, ^ ?? - ? raite orders (or perhaps all the rest of tie fifty-one Sundays?) And possibly you might interest our mission- j aries in presenting this new inter- j pretation of the gospel of American neutrality. "I said this as a theological obser-1 | liver, a logician, and a practical man, j 'but let me speak now as an Ameri- j can citizen and in dead earnest. I | confess that, compared with all this, hypocrisy, it seems to me to be more I decent and manly and infinitely less j hypocritical to disregard openly?not! secretly?the wise and sane and truly Christian advice of President Wilson j and to loIIow the charming advice THE STATE OP SOUTH CAROLINA, COUNTY OF XEWBESRiRY, By C.
