Aull writes at Montreat must be of the A. R. P. type, because they are the ones who are strict ob- . servers of the Sabbath, and it is said to their credit. We notice that a congressman suggests that the members form a union and go on strike. The trouble about that is there would be so 1 many strike breaker mat it migni, be a very dangerous thing for the union. Government officers who are investigating the high prices and the ' storage of food stuffs found a hog 1 in cold storage that had been there for 25 years, and was frozen, and < yet the price of meat keeps going j up. < Former Governor Blease gives out : another statement and says he is ; not going to be a candidate for con- i gress and never intended to be, and ] that ho has a reason for his former ' announcement which he may give 1 out and which he may not give out. ] Those who desire to do so may guess j his reason, but he doesn't give a snap ] about the whole thing. We never 1 did believe that he would be a candi-i; date and so^said to several persons. We are not in the guessing business. < A new party is forming out in Texas and one of the things it is , against is government regulation for . everything. The tendency has been for several years to have a great centralized government, .and government control, and it is coming along much more rapidly than we thought. . * If we are to judge by the past the tendency toward a great centralized government is bad omen, but these are strange and new times and we can not always judge the future by the* past. To our mind we do not favor so much government control, but that is the tendency and ' has been for several years, and it is growing rapidly. What the end will be we do not pretend to predict. Former Attorney Generai Wickershaw suggests that the senate ratify 1 * 1 #A Xl. _ i. the peace treaty ana tnen aiier mai the amendments that some of the ' senators are clamoring for can be . made. That seems to be the sensible view to take of the problem. But the treaty will be ratified just like President Wilson says, and the lea- ' gue of nations will also be adopted. We have never had any doubt on ' .that subject. These fellows in the 1 senate had to do something and { while the delay is a little long ; drawn out they will eventually come 1 around to President Wilson. This is 5 iiis job and he was raised up for it. No doubt there will be from time to cime changes and amendments to the i league, but it is going to be adopted 1 just as President Wilson says and 1 wants it done. We would like to see 1 Tt done pretty soon, because until j the rteaty is ratified and the league < ~ -i-4?<wnn/ ? nnnn cx pnnntrv 'JJL iiatiuiia agicdi u^ivu ?uv . is not going to get down to normal. < ??j What a glorious thing it would be j 1 for many of us if we could go to that j, j nountain retreat at Montreat of 1 vhich Mr. John K. Aull writes so graphically, if we could but learn ( he lesson which he says one can not . "ielp but realize if he stays up there. Tt would be well for many of us if ve could go there and stay for a , -season, if we would then but truly j ( realize "how very small, after all, j '\re the works of men, and how piti- j ( :ul lis human selfishness, and how], nean are the petty spites which one ' observes in the dealings of human j creatures one with another." ! What a great thing it would be j Tor us, all of us, if we could but j. ealize the truth of this sentence. We should, without having to go to he beautiful mountains of western North Carolina, but many of us fail to grasp the truth even after we go :>nd roam the hills and valleys and view the beautiful scenes around this mountain retreat. We should /ret the spirit by a study 01 nature nlmost anywhere, but pity is, we do not. HELP ILLITERATES. \ The following paragraph from a tetter of Dr. J. 0. Willson to the ed- j lor of the Index-Journal is along the j ght line. We'never did believe in, arading so much the fact that so j any white men made their mark . hen signing the democratic club! j j-lls a few years ago. "You will make the suggestions, I j v. tly in advance venture the follow- 1 g: Help illiterates ail v/e can, but I, :sot advertise their deficiencies' even to prove how much is being done. Human nature does not enjoy , this publicity, and the good done will be all the more appreciated if we do no tlet 'our right hand know what our left hand is doing.' " Let us do all we can to help them reduce the illiteracy, but no good can come by telling the world about it, and it will not help to reduce it. We can of course educate the children by the compulsory attendance law, but for the adult we should o at the matter in such a way as t e list the sympathy and cooperatio. ~ the people we desire to help, and n doing so we should be careful not to offend them in any manner. We be lieve that the work is going along in a nice and smooth way in Newberry county, and is accomplishing much good, and the teachers have the cooperation and assistance of all the i people. DID RIGHT. The Lutheran synod which met in J Columbia the other day did the right thing in raising the amount from $150,000 to $300,000 for the two ' r?Alln<tqc fin/? atrark ic faa ctvioII I UJ11U WV^a VUMV AO WV U a mark to be set for the Lutherans of this State for their two colleges. ( We told President Derrick when the matter of a drive for money was first . mentioned that the great mistake ' was in not making the amount to be \ raised twice what was first proposed. ] ro go out to raise only $150,000 for two colleges looked small and the 1 people would not enthuse on such an < insignificant sum. They are in the ' habit of thinking in bigger figures | than they have ever before, and if j 1 you desire to do something worth . < while you had better get in touch | with the current thought, J not to 1 follow, at least be in position to 1 know how to direct in the way it j i should go. With all the other de- J nominational drives being in so much |: bigger sums, it would have been very difficult to awaken any enthusiasm, I: if the Lutherans had gone out only > asking for $150,000. We are speak-' ing tiiis as one of the Lutherans. j The success for the drive will depend very largely on the leadership and the publicity which is given the movement and the right kind of publicity. The synod appointed a cen- i tral committee which will have! charge of the campaign, and it is up ! to this committee to do the job. The ! < first thing they should do is to get j a good publicity man, and we sup- j, pose there is one such among them, j, but he should begin his work right S now and he should know his business, j; The committee is to meet at the , i Jefferson hotel in Cblumbia on j; Wednesday,, and we suppose after j' that the Dlan of camDaiem will be an nounced. I The Herald and News in interested in the success of the movement from several angles. First, Newberry college is a Newberry institution as well as a Lutheran. Then the editor is a Lutheran and also an j alumnus of the college, and from j 1 these viewpoints we feel like we have j i right to say something on the sub-! iect. 1 The cause of the Christian college jJ and the Christian school is receiving |1 the attention today that it has not j" ' 1 ? 1 *1 . II I ( tiaa ior many years, ana iz is wen, i because these are the things that | , are to save our civilization and the |J country. This drive should be successful Bven in raising beyond .the amount set by the synod. And now is the time to do the work, while the peo- j pie are in the habit of responding to J the appeals made in drives. ! ] OLD FOLKS DAY OBSERVED AT ST. PAULS CHURCH |! Old Folds Day at St. Pauls Lutheran church was observed last Sun- ! day while an address in the morning ! by Mr. A. H. Kohn of Columbia and I! dinner on the grounds and another j! address in the afternoon by Mr. j' Harry H. Blease. j' Mr. Kohn was the first person in this section to suggest the observ- j < tVlfi fllS- I ! A11V.C U1 UJU uuj unu v?v , . torn first began in Grace church at j Prosperity during the time Mr. Konn j was a resident of Prosperity and a j member of that church. For some reason Grace has not observed the I day for some time, but a few years ; ago the plan was adopted by St. Pauls, and it has been kept up in that church since, and every year i brings a very large congregation to the church on these occasions. < I have attended these gatherings every year, and this year I went j down with Mr. Harry Blease in his j handsome Chalmers car with his son, Mr. Marion Blease, driving. Ke also took along Mr. and Mrs. Tom ' J. Kayes and Mr. Wyehe Dickert. S The day was very pleasant so far as ': the weather was concerned, and just!' such a day as to encourage the peo-;! pie to attend. The pastor, the Rev. o. T\ Koon, J; has been sick for a week, but was 11 able to come out, and conducted the!1 morni:;g service, bat had to turn it; < over to Mr. J. A. C. Kibler in ;he J afternoon. j Mr. Kohn was a member of this j church in his young boyhood and at-; tended the school of the neighborhood and was born not far away. He told some of tfte early nistory 01 xne church, and spoke of the boys with whom he associated in his boyhood, and of the old church as he knew it, and made a very appropriate and interesting address. At the conclu-! . "on of the address of Mr. Kohn the rastor called on Mr. E. H. Aull, who as also a member of the church in the d?vs that are erone, and though not on the program Mr. Aull made a ^ brief talk. Then came the recess for dinner! and it was one of those old time dinners so characteristic of these good people. Then there was the social hour and the people talked of the old days. ! In the afternoon Mr. Harry ' -j. ?i ^ mease maae a strung auu eiuqucm. plea for right living and the right training of the boys and girls. Mr. Kibler also called on the Rev.: J. C. Wessinger to say a few words, j The singing was fine as it has al-' ways been at this church since our earliest recollections. This congregation has a long and honorable record in its loyalty to Newberry college and has sent many of its young men to the college and into the ministry of the church. Mr. John D. Shealy, a member of bhis church, has the honor &nd the distinction of having been a member of the church council continuously for 50 years, and himself does not have the appearance of being much older than that, though he served four years in the War Between the Sections and was never absent from rlii+tT /^nvi-nrr timp f?TI JJPPnilTlt of UUl%Y UUlitig Wiiv - ? sickness and received no wound. Some time when I can get the facts correct I am going to publish a list of the young men who have gone out from this congregation and who graduated at Newberry college and who entered the ministry of the church. Somehow I feel that it will be a record of which the congregation will be proud, and it may stimulate to even greater endeavor. 1 The day was very pleasantly spent and I hope profitably. It is always ? nlnocnre -pAT TYIA tfl VlSlt thlS COn a ^i^aouiv a v* aaav . .... gregation and to mingle with these good people. It brings back the memory of other days, and happy days of childhood. I hope they will continue to have Old Folks Day and that the congregation will adopt the habit of having some of the boys to come back home and talk to them I and revive the memory of the good j old days.

Com. on arrangements, j1 BLEASE NOW SAYS HE WILL NOT RUN i Says That He Never Had Any Idea j of Doing So. News and Courier. ; Columbia, Aug. 16.?Despite his i statement of several weeks ago that I' Ke was a candidate for congress from j the Seventh congressional disrtict in | the general election to be held Octo- j: I ber 7, Cole. L. Blease, former gov- . ernor of South Carolina, in another statement issued today, said that he is "not now, has never been and < never expects to be a candidate for that office." His last statement says that he had a reason for making the announcement that he did, and at present he will let any man suggest to himself what that reason was. It was intimated in this correspondence last Monday that Mr. Blease would not run in the general election. His. friends have stated that he made the statmeent that he did in order to get the white people hn register in his district so that the ; ~ ? ? o negro registration, which is only about 2,500, would not be a menace. However, in his first statement, he I called on his factional followers to !: remain away from the primaries so ! that they could support him in the j general election if they so chose. I; Since Mr. Blease made his former 1 announcement he has come in for a ' - i deal of criticism for his stand, both i by newspapers and by individuals, j Candidates now making the. canvass ! ALLS rnn ^UI\ Ab; Also* } Let i these bushc \ V Wm. S for the Democratic nomination in the Seventh district have stigmatized Mr. Blease's action as a "bolt" "in effect an appeal to the negro vote." In reference to these candidates Mr. Blease, in today's statement, says that they should thank him for his announcement, "for they Would not have had any <*ch without it, as they haven't brains enough to make an intelligent argument upon important issues." The following is the ex-governor's statement: "I have never had. any desire to be a congressman, am not now, have never been and never expect to De a candidate for that office. "I had a purpose in making the announcement that I did in reference to the Seventh district vacancy and may some day say what it was, but at present I will let each man suggest to himself my reason, and don't care a finger snap for the reason that he may accept. "My intimate friends knew that I j would not be in the race, and I so stated by letter and in person to others; in fact all my associates knew that I would not accept that job if offered it unanimously. "I received by letters and personally many assurances of support and some people would be surprised to know how many endorsed my position and the names of men who promised support; they being, like myself, tired of such primaries as we have had in recent years. "Certain announced candidates for the place should thank me fori -<.U? i tnax announcement,, j.ur mey wuuiu not have had any speech without it, j as they haven't brains enough to j make an intelligent argument upon important issues." Entertainment at Silvenstreet. We want to say to our friends of the Improvement association of the Silverstreet school that we are not in the habit of accepting an invitation to attend a function such as they had on Friday night, and then not go, especially if we are in any way a part of the program, however unimportant our presence might be. : But about the time we would have ! started it began to rain and the [ clouds were lowering and to all ap- j pearances it would have been just j and right to conclude that it was raining all over the world. And yet i we were told on Saturday that the | ram cid not extend more than a mile beyond the corporate limits of the j town. ahvavs en 'oy going* to ' - j k MRlPm anm a?

Silverstreet, and have always gone when invited by the ladies and friends of tfce school, and we do not need much of an excuse to go. We feel that it is due that we should make this explanation. . Not that we had any special message or that our presence would have added to the occasion, but we promised Mrs. Blair to come, and we intended to keep the promise. We feel an especial interest and 'pride in this school, and stand ready at all times to do what we can to encourage and helD in promoting whatever may be i helpful. We understand that the entertainment was a success and pretty well attended, of which we are gglad, and we desire to assure the ladies of this good community that we stand ready at any time to assist and help them in the good work of their association, that we may be able, and will esteem it a pleasure to have them command our services.
