GOVERNOR CAUSES PEACE IN EDGEFIELD USES INFLUENCE TO BREACH BETWEEN TWO COUNTY OFFICERS Columbia. Oct. 2.—The storv of how Governor Harvey recently brought pence out of a had situation in Edgefield county has just come to light, following publication in an Edgefield paper of a report of the peace making. A personal difficulty look place be tween Sheriff Swearingen and Supei- visor Edmunds, of Edgefield county. For weeks a condition ot strain ex isted between the two officials, and there was much concern in Edgefield county over the relations between the two, men and the possible outcome. Quietly" Governor Hertfev took ac tlon. He realized that the situation should not continue. He wtote to the two men and asked each one if he vrould not' call at the executive office bn,a certain day. He asked the two to call at the same time and he stat ed* in his tatter to each that )i e had asked the other of the two to come fit the same time. After a certain amount of correspondence, the gover nor effected an arrangement whereby thipv'two men came to his office and he talked over the matter with them. a» man to man and as friend to friend. The governof made It very plain that ha was a friend to both of t-iem: that he wanted to see them make friends, in the interest of law enforcement, as well, as for personal friendship. The governor’s kind and yet manly position impressed the two men and the result was they became friends of each other again. And both went away with, the kindliest feeling to ward Governor Harvev. The troubled waters have been ?qu>ptbed over; th*. two. ps*p,fire, friends; Edgefield coun- cupied by western outfltsTand It was from these rivals that the two cham pions encountered their stiffed oppo sition throughout the season t Cincinnati, with a tine pitching staff and a team of >otmg stars, Jumped toj second place in the National League J today by taking a doublcheuded from Pittsburg. The setbacks forced t-he Pirates to a tie for third place with the St. Louis Cardinals, who defeat ed Chicago today. The Chicago Cubs, after figuring in the first division most of the sea*- HEALi on( dropped back toward the close to! the fifth place. Ty Cobb’s aggressive Detroit club landed third place in the American league, although by a margin of onlv one game over Cleveland. The In dians displaced the Chicago White Sox in the select circle by an elev enth hour spurt. Three clubs occupied the last places in each circuit, Brooklyn holding sixth position in the National and Washington in the American, Phila delphia clubs finished seventh, aban doning to Boston cellar pophions. which the Athletics have held for seven years and the Phillies for three seasons. asr peace maker and tlij grm of the Jaw is strepgthened, where if the dif ficulty between the two had been al lotted to continue, •i.h® governor told -the mho. it would have tended to weaken the public’s respect for taw. GRAND JU'Sy wilL • MEET NEXT MONDAY The Florence county grand Jury will meet at the court house here next Monday morning, prior to the opening of the circuit court. The body will have a number of indbi- ments to pass upon at this session The following are the names of those on the grand Jury: TIMMONSVILLE LADY BURIED ON YESTERDAY Timmonsvllle, Oct. 2.—Special— Beautiful and impressive funeral ser vices were held Sunuay In the Tim- monsville Baptist church over the body of Mrs. Questna M.

No other holiday of the Synagog is invested with such im portance as is attached to this day ot sout-seurebing repentance. U is per haps the most distinctly Jewish holi- ouv of the Synagog, one tiiat is most pervasive and siaies in tullest. meas ure tne ultimate goal and purpose oi Israels striving. The Messianic ful Aliment of the Jews as wo.I as hu manity's destiny is fo.evisoned in tne liturgy of tins service. The ceremonial observance of the Day of Atonement requires "the wor shipper to withdraw from all world ly cares, and, forgetful of the work aday auaiis which have occuptad s him during the year, give himself unto God in thoughts ot prayer and re pentance. The # devout tan * in the synagog from morning till evening, abstaining from food and drink, fto that by afflicting their souls they may tne better purge themselves of si?i. Under the severe discipline of this introspection and fasting the worship per exercises a larger degree of self- control in his relations with human ity and thus becomes reconciled to man and God. Set high as life's great throbbing star, tlie ideals for which the Jews nave lived and died ate on the Day of Atonement again proclaimed. In the poetic ritual of the service, sonu passages of which are acknowledged to be of unparalleled sublimity, this confidence is vouchsafed that ail men ami women as well as the children of the house of Jacob are factors and processes In the bands of tlie Creator of I lie, Universe who fashions t-he ca reers of men and women according to a divine plan whose ultimate goal is the establishment ot an era of peacqjfi and good will among men. yPo im press upon each individual worship per the responsibility of ids life and action and make him duly conscious of his Importance as an agent in fur thering the purposes of God on earth, is among the many lofty conceptions unfolded In the liturgy of ^ho Day of Atonement. v ■* y Yom Kippur has a long ancestry, and like many of the holidays and ceremonials of the Synagqi has u» oergone changes during the^ centuries of unbroken Historical existence in which the Jews have sojourned among men. In the Mosaic Code, for exam ple, on this day the high priest In the Temple performed the important function of expiation lor the sanctu ary, the priesthood and the people. in contrast to this priestly monop oly of service with its external forms of expiation, the rabbis of the Syna gog clothed this holiday with the mantle fallen from the shoulders of the prophets of Israel aud invested It with the doctrines of God’s mercy and paternal love. It is due to the teachers of the Synagog that, the Day of Atonement was divested of its sac rificial features as those detailed in Leviticus 1G:2-31 and Ezekiel 45:18 20. According to their preachment tbe conception of atonement was al tered to enforce on the worshipper the truer verdict that all repentance must he effected in the heart and soul of the sinner, the individual worship- r. Only through his own efforts uld a genuine reconciliation with and man he obtained, ue phase of the ritual in the mod ern Synagog is devoted to the re membrance of dear ones ca’tad to their eternal reward. The memorial services usually held In the afternoon of the Day of Atonement are solemn and impressive and are intended to remember not only those members of the Jewish community who nave pass ed away hut to coaim 2-norate all good and noble men and women who have served the cause of humanity, and in creased peace In the world. iiurown hack across the boundary.
