Jrenwood Journal. We have just returned from the State Baptist convention which was m session in Newberry for several days, and while there were many things to impress the visitor there was nothing more in evidence than he genuine warm hearted hospitality if the neoDle. Every delegate was eady to declare that he had the bea: home in the city. The welcome ad Iress s were most cordial and full of ,'ood cheer. The home like feeling Inch the delegates had added very much ?o the meeting. Newberry's hospitality gave the convention a 'rood send off and kept it going to the end, rounding up on? of the very best conventions that the Baptists of South Carolina have bad in years. \ convention in which more aggres r've work was done and larger plana laid for the future than ever b for,j :n its recent mstory. we snan no: soon forget the hearty welcome an^ the unstinted hospitality of Dr. and Mrs. W. E. Peiham accorded Colonel Watson and th? writer during tho days that we were in their homo They are ideal hosts. But Newberry has more than hos pitality. It is a good business center with many beautiful homes, good ho tels, and a well kept city. Besides, it is the home of Newberry college which is a big assst. Whil* in the city we took occir.on to call upon The Observer and The Herald and News. We found Editor Wallace pounding his typewriter in a rush to get to pr ss not mindful of the high coct of papei as he ao copying from his files to save clipping an ex tra copy. Editor Aull was also up against it, as he too, was on the eve of getting to press. These men with their papers have done much to make 'Newfberry and are doing far more than many of the best citiz?ns cf this goodly town are aware of. It Is a genuine pleasure to, meet among old Newberry friendo, Dr. Jas Mcin tosh. R. Y. Leavell and Col. W. H. Hunt. The latter whose health has not been good for sometime seems to be improving. Law vs. Morals. Gre-nville News. The Rev. J. Dean Crain of this county has been attending the Baptist State convention in Newberry and the Newberry Herald and News was "very much taken" with him, singling him out for especial mention. Uur con temporary refers to Mr. Crain as V'thc mountain preacher w-ho comes fresh from tlie people and ^'ho is doing a great work among the mountain peo ple, because he understands them and knows them and gets down to them and talks straight and honest with them/' That is all very true. For that matter Mr. Crain is one of the foremost citizens of this groat country and is second to nobody in strenuous onrloavnr fn-r thp fl<1vanppmpnt of thp moral and material welfare of the people. According to The Herald and News, Mr. Crain said "that the passing of resolutions and the making of big speeches will not accomplish the re sults1' in the matter of observance of law and general reform. The Herald and News makes this wise comment upon his utterance: "You have to get down to the peo ple and find out what they are think ing about and what their sentiments are, and then you must show them the right way, but in order to do so you have to get down among them and understand them, and not stand afar off and make high sounding speeches and pass resolutions. And iicitucj. vcm )uu,uu h uy icjwo by the legislature. You can't have any influence by asking that laws be passed to punish a man for making or selling liquor and then turn around and buy it from him. He won't have much faith in your sincerety or your manhood or your honesty." That is precisely correct. Whtte laws of moral purpose unquestionably make for moral uplift it is generally true that morality cannot be legislat ed into people. A law amounts to very little unless it has public opin ion behind it. Mere agitation of re form through the public prints can ac complish little. As The Herald and News says, it requires personal work and personal contact with the peo ple. A great proportion of the peo ple can be reached only in this way. One strong man working for good in a community can achieve, more than all else put together. Enlightened public opinion is essential to progres sive government, but constructing that enlightened public opinion is a problem that commends the most en ergetic and sympathetic contact with the people. The demagogue has a strong popular following simply for me reason tnat ne goes direct 10 tne people. The social reformer must adopt the 6ame method. j AFTER THE GRIPPE i Vinol Restored Her Strength | Canton, Mi*s.?"I am 75 years old and became very weak and feeble from the effects of La Grippe, but Vinol has done me a world of good.

The ansvrer will appear in i the amount of interest aroused by the proposal of tho Episcopalians to ! shorten the ten commjndments at I their convention in St. Louis. ( Shall the ten commandments oe boiled down? Everybody h&3 an opinion on this > subjet. 'What is yours? ; The commandments have changed: ' J ? e ? +Vi?

The version in i Exodus is regarded as the older form. The division of verses made by the early Lutheran and Catholic churches j differs from that of the Protestants. | The Jews teach a short form to chil-i dren. The commanments have been translated into thousands of lan guages and dialects, but their essence I has never been lost. For they em : body the moral instincts of all hu manity. "Out of the heart of nature rolled The 'Duraens. cr tne JBiDie oia." ; The Episcopalians may decide to shorten the form of the command ments, or they may not. j But either way, without intending; so far-reaching a result, they will' touch the mind and the heart of Jew and Gentile, saint and sinner. They will cause the people as a whole to speak out and betray the true depth3, of their interest in religion. We live in a time of great psycho logical upheaval.

A new writer has shunted off the 1 press a volume on snpsnoa ungiisa. "He brands as guilty of this offence many of the greatest masters of style ?Aruold, Ruskin, Newman, Lowell, Burroughs , anij Wilson. Wonder | the didn't lambast Shakespeare as'an assasin of the language. Isn't it amusing? The very idea ; of some little whippersnapper is hav-, j ing the impudence to find fault with I work of these literary lapidaries. Here is another linguistic prude, |w'ho can't <be forgotten because he never has been and never will be known, yet he assumes to pick immor tals to pieces. He is a brother to some of the professors who have written} books instructing youth how to be come trained newspaper men in twen ty hours. If you want to offend a real news paper man, call him a "journalist." That word is strictly taboo in the Fourth Estate. fWfliy? Because the j ; newspaperman and the jouanrlist are | distinct species. They have nothing in common. A ncwspeperman aries to write straight English, without affectation, without erudition, under standable stuff for the average man, ! with red corpuscles in it; a journalist tries to write lite Henry James ana Ralph Wuldo Emer3on strictly ac cording to the Hoyle of the college I rhetoric texa, with mechanical pre j cision, with all life and color edited out. A "journalist" is a "higthbrow." j Usage is the supreme law of language to the newspaperman. That is why! he uses the agot of the street, the slang of the time. The newseper man writes for remocracy; the jour-! nalist writes for what he thinks is an' intellectual aristocracy, although it is: usually thre quarters bluff and super ficiality. Every newspaperman tries to writ? English correctly, but he will sacri lice lire ior meiess precision, n nc | is college bred, he soon finds that1 usage sanctions much that he thought' incorrect. He comes to atach moref value to simplicity and to good old English words teat are clear and bo strong. If the prude* and t&e purists ^ad - ^ - - * their way, the lan^itr.^c vrcuM he :no chaniial, flaccid, insipid. There w? an editorial writer once who claimed to see red every time he ran across the phrase " under the circumstances" He said it ought to be "in the circum stances," because "circum" meant "around" and so it would be sayins "under the around." One of his sub ordinates mentioned the matter to the foremost classical scholar in the South. He was greatly amused." Why, if he consistently tries to carry that principle out. lie will tear the English language all to pieces." he said. So it is with these petty snivelling purists. If they could thereby fit the language to hard-and-fast rules and reduce the whole business of ths* "queen's English" to death. TAX 2ETTRXS FOB 1117.
