I METHODISTS PLAN TO FIGHT ATHEISM I*?;. The movement to raise $33,000,000 pv for the educational institutions of the Methodist Episcopal Chureh, South, h is more than an effort to secure so ? - many dollars and cents for the adIf*? vancement of Christian education. It Lmeans a death grapple with atheism. This is the opinion of the leaders of the church who have made a careful . survey of the situation. The professor of psychology in one of the large and influential .colleges recently made the declaration that only twenty-seven per cent of the V. r ~ ?vnfocoArc in Amori- I ' IllOSt ^IZUllClI l V&VOTWV/A M ..... can universities believe in God and % only thirty-five per cent, of them believe in the immortality of the soul. To combat these atheistic tenden i ( . cies is one of the purposes of the Christian Education Movement of the Southern Methodist church. The j proposed $33,000,000 fund will supply I the necessary space, teaching force, j equipment and endowment and the! schools and colleges of the church x can enroll 50,000 Methodist young people each year. In the Christian Education Movement objectives there is a fund of 41,000,000 called the Christian Work-ers' Education Aid Fund, the purpose of which is to assist worthy young people to obtain an education fitting them for Christian service. Fully 75 per cent of all Christian workers, of all denominations must * * ? ^ vwx 1-. nnu receive assistance xrum in obtaining an education. The quota for the Methodist churches of South Carolina in the $33,000,000 fund is $2,267,000. This -means $1,149,500 for the South Carolina. Conference and $1,117,500 for the Upper South Carolina Conference. * % From the last Sunday in May through the first Sunday in June Methodists of, both conferences, together with -Methodists all over the South, will be called upon to subscribe to this fund. Five years will be allowed in which to meet the obligations. The educational institutions of the State which will share in the fund to be raised May 29-June 5 are: "Wof-? ford College, Spartanburg, $500,000: j . Columbia College, Columbia, $300,000, Lander, Greenwood. $300,000; / Wofford Fitting School, Spartanburg. $75,000; Carlisle School Bamberg, $75,000; Horry Industrial School, Aynor, $75,000- Textile Industrial Institute, Spartan >urg, $50;000. Always Methodism has expressed ' itself bes'. through a Christian College. The Christian Education Movement is an attempt to make all education thoroughly Christian, and to counteract all irreligious tendencies i now apeparing in certain American j schools and colleges. j ft O GASTON ROUTE 1. i I We arc having some cool weather * at present. .

Mrs. Johanna Soderhnlm Fortius I Falls, Minn., fell and dislocated her j shoulder. She had a surgeon get it ! back in place as soon as possible, but' it was quite sore ancl pained her very I much. Her son mentioned that lie! had seen Chamberlain's Liniment ad-i vertised fcr sprains and soreness and \ she asked him to buy a bottle of it. ' which he did. U quickly reliev.-d tin-1 pain and soreness and enabled her to ! sleep, which si* had not d?me for!' several days. If you are troubled! with rheumatism, give Chamberlain's > .'.Liniment a trial, ft is excellent. . i NEAR EAST RELIEF DOING GREAT WORK Columbia, May 1.?Mr. Brook Anderson, whose home is in Richmond, Va., and who has been visiting in South Carolina, is just back from the Near East. He tells the following about the work that the Ne^r East Relief is doing for the little children j in the Near East. | "The work of the Near East Relief is magnificent" he says. "The workers, women as well as men, are under fire for months at a time and undergo wartime hardships with equal risks. Not only do they risk their own lives while at their relief work, but many come heme broken in health. Among the Near East relief missionaries Mr. Anderson, mentioned Mrs. Richard Mansfield, wife of the noted Shakespearean actor. Mrs. Mansfield was under fire for three months near Marash, helping the Armenians and she was in charge for a time of the ^ orphanage for Syrian children in ^ Jerusalem during the time Mr. Anderson was in that city. After General Wilie Jones, State | Chairman for Near East Relief in South Carolina, had heard the above story, he said that he did not see how any person on this side of the Atlantic Ocean could hold back on giving | their funds to such a worthy cause. Haven't we any confidence in these workers that Mr. Anderson has just told us about? If they are willing to give up all pleasures and make such.a big sacrifice are we not willing to help them by sending funds and clothing over to these countries in order that their job will be made a little easier? South Carolina is asked to care for 2,500 of those little children. It costs $60.00 to feed a child one year..There is yet much to be done before we have come up to what is expected of us. Are we willing to pass this opportunity on and let these kiddies starve, or - ??/ -4 are we going to rally to their assist- j ance. My opinion is that we will not j let them suffer for anything that we! can give them. Wm. M. Gibbes. Jr., 211 Liberty National Bank Bldg., is the State Treasurer, and all contributions re-1 ceived by him for this cause will be | promptly acknowledged. ???

Directoi FURMAX TO HAVE STATUE TO WORLD WAR DEAD Greenville, April 30.?Furman University at Greenville is to have a statue in honor of the Furman men who served in the World War. More than 500 men were in the service and five fell, making the supreme sacrifice for country and freedom. The statue is to be a handsome bronze life' size figure of an American dough-boy, dressed in service uniform, carrying a I rifle with fixed bayonet in his left .hand and a bomb in his right. The statue will stand on a pedestal of South Carolina granite more than five feet high. It will be located in the triangle between the Library and the main building. Work is being rushed I and it is hoped that the statue can be unveiled at the approaching com- j mencement. The ceremonies will be j in charge of the college and local Legions and will be an important and j impressive feature of the commence-! ment exercises. ? i . i REDUCED FARES FOR S. S.

Sad Fate of a Ham A young man entered the village shop and complained to the owner j that-a ham he had purchased there a few days before* had proved not to be good. j "The ham is all right, sir!" insisted the shopkeeper, j. "No: it isn't," insisted the other. 'It's bad!" "How can that be," continued the shopkeeper, "when it was cured only last week?" ; The young man reflected a moment and then suggested: "Maybe it's had a relapse."

"> # MAN REFUSES TO PAY TAX ON BACHELORS Great Falls, Mont., April 29.?Declaring that "spinsters are responsible for my not being married in their refusals of my wooing in the past," William Atzinger, 3f>, a member of the board of directors of the Montana state fair, today notified the assessor of Chouteau county that he will refuse to pay the poll tax of $3 levied .by the last legislature upon bachelors. 'Tax the spinsters of the same age and I will gladly pay, but otherwise it is class legislation and I stand upon my rights," he declared. "Furthermore, I refuse to get married to escape jail and I refuse to pay a bachelor tax to escape jail." _ i Employer's Time A plumber and a painter were working in the same house. The painter arrived late and the plumber said to him: 'You are late this morning." "Yes," said the painter. "I had to j stop and have my hair cut." "You did not do it on your cm- j i ployer's time did you?" said the! ! plumber. "Sure I did," said the painter; "It! i i i grows on hi9 time." Chronic Constipation. This condition is usually brought on by neglect. Neglect to drink as much water as a healthy person requires, which is three pints each day. Neglect to take enough exercise to keep the body in a healthy condition. Neglect to establish a regular habit of having the bowels move once each day. whether there is an inclination or not. It is obvious, that to cure chronic constipation ,you must first correct your habits. Chamberlain's Tablets are excellent but will not cure you permanently, when these neglects are persisted in. Begin now. Get well and stay well. "Cold in the Head'* i3 an acbte attack of Nasal Catarrh. - - A 44 tJ? X?

The result was that the horses immediately formed new blood fluid of normal composition.
