And we propose to stand behind evei ytU' we say, and if Some o&F the thingrs we mention in this communica.. tion does not apply to "you," pass it along Io some one say over In Ar kansas." Are w'.* justified in saying that we have fallen upon evil times? "The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the chibiren' teeth r:iie s:et on edge." The young peopk have inherited the weakrnes.ses, or had we better say the sins o! their parents, and have gone beyond in the forget fulness of Go I and Hlis will and the fintr things e0 life. rh< saddlest part about tle story of Let is, iot that it is a true story; but that it is a representative family that is pictured to us. The story reads like a i iiliir history of many a family in this year of grace, 1921. A few touches of imna' iination and the story tis inl perfectly tut inl the pre sent ag,_ Lot was a sinlcerely lover anld sinl(y Nmaker. That is why he was inl Sotmc.

Aid away they went and were gone until two. After a while the wickedness of the city brought down the wrath of the Almighty upon it. And Lot went'to warn his daughters: but "he seemed to them as all that mocked." Most of the details in this ancient story are supplied from our present day social Con(litions. Ou' young people have gone far afield. The dancing hall, the swimming ponds, the automobiles and oth'r thins have the right of way.

But after a while this better light will dawn and the precious young people will fintd out that this world is not a play house a l that life is not a frolic. Capt. J. C.

We ask E RG the boll weevil is playing havoc, and many farmers tell me they can't pos sibly make over 25 per cent of crop of cotton, on this year's acreage. I know the merchants have all the load they can afford to worry with, and perhp- more. The South could make headway all right if the farmers could only get a f.dr price for their crops. But unless there is a change for the better, it might be worse than pelleg ra. I would advise you to write your constituents in various sections and get the facts be ore making any ela borate speech or statement. I would tell you every condition if I knew them all. I don't think it has got quite to beg ging time yet, and really I believe most of us would mighty nearly (lie bofore we would beg; but I do hear a lot of begging for credit and exten sion. With best of* wishes, Yours -truly, J. C. Lanham. Rev. W. S. Trimble of Herndon, Va., preached a very forciful sermon at. the Presbyterian church Sunday morn ing, and very feelingly expressed his great love for the good - people of Summerton, and from the unusual large crowd present he was obliged to recogniize the fact that he was also loved in return. If we are any judge of a god preacher mi d a good pastor as well as a good man we would take Brother Trimble as that combination. We are very grateful to, some good looking young lady for several news items this week. That's right "Sis." when anything happens help your "Uncle Nub," out in getting it to The Times. We certainly do appre ciate such deeds of kindness. And the only way we can hope to have the kind of a letter Summerton should have is to have the assistance of the community.
