The Summerton correspondent of the Charleston News and Courier gave an account last week of "the largest and most representative meeting eve held in Summerton to discuss pub:ic.measures." As the cor respondent says, the meeting was primarily in the interest o school matters, but the occasioI was improved upon to obtain the vievws of the community ir rezrd to matters that will be brought up in the leg islat ure. After a full and freE disc ission it was decided as ad visa :le to issue additional bond. to the amount of $6,000 to com plet- the handsome new graded sch' ol building. In the furthei disc ission of public matters o intE :est, it is said that the sen tim at of the meeting was un dou stedly for prohibition; tha1 the meeting put itself unani moi sly on record as being it favo~r of the repeal of the lien law; and finally tha1 tha "the meeting also- express ed itself against the propositior of 1* vying an additional tax upot the :ounty for the purpose oj building a new court house al Mai. aing." T Lis last sentiment is the most notable expression of tha1 not- "le meeting. There is litth comfort in the implied fac1 that this was not the unanimonm sentiment of the meeting, tha1 som- of the citizens present dii not .ake that view of this im port ant matter. The strikinE part in the reported sentimen of th.e meeting is that the oppo sition was to a "tax on the coun ty to build a new court house al Manning." There does not ap pear to have been any express ed opinion against the need and desirability of a new couri house, nor against the necessity of a special tax to erect suc needed structure. The opposi tion was to a tax on the count2 to build a court house at Man Inng. A new court house at Man ning would not primarily noa principally benefit the town o: Manning, if the objection i. founded on that narrow view. The proposed new court hous' would be for the use and benefi1 of Clarendon county, which is corporate entity, and such building would necessarily be erected at the county seat. Man ning is the county seat for ade quate geographical reasons and not from favoritism in any sense We all recognize and admire th< energy, enterprise and loca: pride of the people of Summer ton, and we are proud that the: are a constituent part of Clar endo'n county-in fact it is matter of rejoicing that thi: relationship is inalienable. We trust that our good friends it Sum merton, none of them, wil lose sight of the moral of Esop's fama1liar fable about "The Bell: and the Members." It is no1 impc rtant in using this illustra tion to give Summurton the position of head, feet, hands o: belly of Clarendon ,county--only to hc ld that she is a part or par cel of the county, and as suci that she should recognize and duly honor all other parts of the coun ay. Pos.sibly a better ill ustratioi of the~ existing relations would be te' use the words of the Apos tie F:tul when he said: The body is nc i one member, but many. If tb ' foot shall say, Because] am n.)t the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body : If the whole body were an e: C, where were the hearingi If ithrere thehearing, where were the . melling? * ** But now are taiey many members, yet bui one laody. And the eye cannot say t'nto the hand, I have ne need of thee; nor again the hand to the feet, I have no need of ycu. Even so we are all, Sum merton, Salem, Santee, Man ning and the Fork of Black~ River, all members of old Clar endo; ; we each have need of all the o hers, and we should all pull together for the greatest advai cement of our common county. Lend a hand, Summer ton! One of the most notable occur ences that has been reported in South Carolina for a long while was the capture last week of a band of yeggmen or' safe-crackers by citizens of Van Wyck, a small town in Lancaster county. The men were armed and equipped for devilish work and at least one of them has a penitentiary record. It is matter of regret that the law of the land does not provide for sending such men up for life on general principles. They are not worthy of liberty, for men who go throiugh the country armed with pistols, razors and dynamite have bur glary, arson and murder in their hearts, and it is better that they be punished for their intentions than to wait until they have Worfds Debt to the Tew. (A Sunday Sermon, by Dr. Madison C. Peters.) What advantage hath the Jew? Much every way.-Roman I1 1. 2. Wherever Paul looked the present condition and the future of other nations seemed brighter than those of his people. The social and material advantages of other nations they had not. And to the imaginary objector, "What advantage hath the jew?" Paul, placing spiritual advanta ges above all things, answered: "much every way." And nearly nineteen hundred years of histo ry have approved Paul's judg ment. To the jew who measures advantage only by the standard of worldliness there is outwardly no advantage in being a jew. In Rome, where the jews lived only on sufferance, one of the greatest indignities to which they were subjected was their compulsory participation in the races on the Corso at the Carni val, where, amid the jibes and jeers of the attendants, jews were forced to race with assess, buffaloes and barbary horses. Even to-day in Russia, to cel ebrate Easter, the mobs, singing anthems of praise to Jesus the Jew, sweep His unfortunate L brothers through the streets, outrage the womanhood of their daughters, butcher them in cold blood, and then pillage and burn their dwellings, while priestly murders, with the sword in one hand and the cross in the other, sing Te Deums to the Most High and swing their unholy censers in the air in thankfulness for the slaughter of His chosen people. From a worldly viewpoint even in America the question may be asked: What advantage bath the Jew? Here he has a double claim to recognition-the claim of the man under the wide tolerance of the twentieth century, and the claim of the American citizen un I der the broad spirit of the Amer ican Constitution. America grants liberty to the jew, but to a great extent denies him fraternity and equality. At t many socials, professional and even political clubs he is ostra b cised fro-n what is called socie ty; he cannot send his children to thQ select sprivate schools of the country, he is lampooned on the stage and caricatured in the papers. In many of the hotels and summer resorts conspicuous signs are displayed, announcing: "No Jews wanted." I have'seen jewish childrengo home from our .public schools in tears because of the offensive epithets with which they were taunted. These are b not only not advantages, they are curses. INowhere on earth for near two -thousand years has the jew had Sany material advantages. But -Paul recognizes the superior value of spiritual force, and that -is the reason he declares that the Sjew has much 'advantage every way. The jew has given to the Sworld its best gifts. He died that others might live; and man Skind has used his body as a step bping-stone on which to rise to Lhigher planes. LNeither Mirabeau in the SFrench Revolution, nor Patrick Henry in the Virginia House of -Burgesses, nor Samuel Adams in the only colonial days, ever said -a more thrilling thing than was said by Benjamin Disraeli in the IEnglish House of Commons, in -reply to the taunt that he was a jevs: "Yes, I am a Jew, and -when the ancestors of the hon ~orable geneleman were brutal savages in an unknown land, Smine were priests in the Temple." 1And he reminded the Christians Iwho scoffed at him that at that very time the Christian world was divided between. the Protes tants who worshipped a jew, and the Catholic who worshipped a Jewess. Long before Socrates taught philosophy, or before Herodotus -wrote history, israel had an or ganized civilization. It had lite rature before most nations had letters,and art while other na tions knew only war and savage .y. Drader quotes Cabanis. as saying that "they"-the Jews "were our factors and bankers before we knew how to read." While the ancestors of Euro pean kings and nobles were re velling in coarseness or ignorant ly bending- their backs to . the commands of their superiors,the Jews were the torch-bearers of the world. They were .usty and vigorous before Babylon or Nine veh reared their temples to the sky; they were learned before Rameses I. cut his heiroglyphics on the obelisks of Egypt; they were skilled architects before the Pharaohs dreamt of laying the first stone of the pyramids; they were warriors skilled in arms before the Grecian hosts swopped down on the plains of Troy; they had cities before Romulus and Remus traced the walls of imperial Rome, and they had poets, bards, philosophers and scholars before the blind beggar of Scios lisped his lisped his numbers in the myrtle groves of Greece. They have seen As syria, Carthage, .Babylonia, Greece, Rome sink under the ru ins of their own magnificence; they have witnessed the ascent of the Crescent and looked upon the rise of the Cross; and through all they have kept their eyes calmly, steadily on the Star of Israel, whose light burns as bright to-day as when it first rose over the eastern hills arid shone down on the shepherd kings of Chaldea; and, though they have lost their country, they still look to the Star of Ja cob to guide them back to the in heritance that should be theirs. We cannot realize all the Jew have done for civilization nd progress and enlightenment un til away and view the vacum that would be left. Science would become bald and ragged, some of the brightest jewels would drop from the crown of literature and the fairest garments would be shed from the shoulders of art. The Jewish race has given the brilliant Halevy and the versan tile Heine to poetry, Maimoni des and Spinoza to philosophy, Mendelssohn and Meyerbeer to music, Israels and Mosier to pa inting, Antokolski and Ezekiel to sculpture, Disraeli and Zang will to literature, Marx and De Bloch to political economy, Lom broso and Nordau to sociology, Sylvester and Jacobi to mathe matics, Goldschnidt and Hers chel to astronomy, Neander and Eder scheim to history, Beacon sfield and Benjamin to states manship, and thousands of others who, by their genius in every walk of life and every field of human endeavor, have elevated and ennobled humanity while re flecting lustre on themselves. To belong to such a race, a race which has produced proportion ately a greater number of great men than any other of whom his tory bears record, surely must be a proud boast, an advantage to make the blood tingle in Jew ish veins, as it did in those of Paul the Hebrew Apostle. The Jew has given the Bible to the world and with it the knowledge of the only true and living God. He has given Moses who, in the Twelve United States of Israel, gave to the world the first republic. The intense re ligious spirit of Puritanism had for its prototype the old Hebrew Commonwealth, and the Ameri can Republic was built along the lines of the government of the Hebrews under the, Judges, which was democratic. as distin guished from kingly rule. Jesus, the ideal of the race; Jesus, whom Spinoza called "the symbol of Divine wisdom." whom Kant and Jacobi held up as "the symbol of ideal perfection;" of whom Strauss said, "He remains the highest model of religeon within our thoughts," and Re nan declared, "Whatever will be the surprises of the future, Jesus will never be surpassed" this Jesus was a Jew.

J. M. WOODS, Chr'm. Comn. CHARLTON DCRANT. In Memoriam. At 8 o'clock in the morning, on the 14th of November, 1907, the spirit of Mr. Dallas F. Mahoney passed away into that great beyond, and the suffer ing which he had borne without com plaint for Dearly a year was ended. The watchers who had felt that the hours were numbered understood, and with all their griefs knew in their hearts the.t the summons was a call from God. His death, which had been expected, nevertheless caused great regrets in the communitg. His great kindness and disregard for money-maxing made him a poor man, when he might have been rich, but he was happy throughout life, and supre mely contented with what ever came his way. His chiefest joy was to be of service to his fellowmen. He was al ways ready and willing to help or give advice in any way he could. He passed through life in a simple, humane manner, loving and beloved. He was of a kind and sympathetic na ture, full of energy and spirit, always takinif an active interest in public mat ters. He was a Confederate soldier. for as a m.re lad he went into the war between tae States, and served faith fully and well. He was a loyal South erner. Mr. Mahoney was a good citizen, he also was soul of hospitality, and when in health Et was his greatest pleasure to entertain his friends at his home. lie was a true and devoted father and hus band. His body was laid to rest at Calvary, where a Iarge assemblage gathered to testify their regard and esteem to one who in life was beloved by them. The gre.ve was covered with many beautiful floral tributes. The funeral services wereconducted by Rev. .. N. Tolar, of Summerton. We extend our sincere sympathies to the bereaved family, and commend them unta Him who says, "come unto me, all ye that labor, and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." D. Silver, S. C.

Manning Grocery Co I Exchange Your Cotton Seed for Meal Director R. J. Redding of the Georgia Experiment Station, says: "Cotton Seed Meal is a cheaper and more effective ferti 4+ lizer than cotton seed." "A farmer should never use cotton seed directly as a ferti lizer when he may exchange it for a fair equivalent of meal." "According to chemical analysis of each, 886 pounds of cot + ton seed meal are about the equivalent in content of plant food, to 2000 pounds of cotton seed. But owing to the superior me $ cbanical condition of the meal and its' consequently greater, or + more prompt avaihbility, it is safe to assume-tha;t 800 pounds of meal are the full equiva- + lent to orie ton of seed. erefore, whatever excessabove 800 pounds of meal the' $ farmer can get in exchange for a ton of seed, or by selling the 3 + seed and buying the meal, less -the cost of -hauling or freight + ing, is so much clear profit-in comparison with using the ton of + seed directly as a fertilizer. Director Redding has proven by actual field experiments + that the above statements are right, and by exchanging your seed with us you can reaize nearly 100 per cent. profit on the transaction.
