(William Banks in Charleston News and Courier) A great many Columbia friends i have been interested in the recent se vere illness of Capt. J. W’ilson Mar shall, of Rock Hill, father of Fred M. Marshall, of Columbia. Although eigthy-three years of age, Capt. Marshall survived an attack of kidney colic, under the care of Dr. j Fennell, and is on the road to recov- i ery. He walks as erectly as an In- | dian chief, and his mind is as clear j as that of a lad of eighteen. Capt. women, Marshall is one of the last of those THE COUNTY CONVENTION Th£ County Democratic Convention j held in Laurens last Monday was a very quiet and harmonious affair. The old factionalism was absent and a spirit of good feeling permeated the convention. When one reflects upon some of the meetings that have been held in the past, this is indeed gratifying and refreshing. Dignity was added to the meeting by the presence of several deletes and their presence "'as | wonderful men who rode through the most aceeptab.e.

THE IDEAL OF FREEDOM. BIDDING AGAINST FORD. ONE ROCKEFELLER YEAR. Everybody knows that this country will soon be selecting Presidential candidates—or rather the country will have them selected for it. President Coolidge will be the Re publican nominee. What about the Democrat ? How do you think he will be chosen ? Here’s a description of the coming process, probably accu rate, given by an able politician: “Taggart will vote for Ralston of Indiana. Tammany will vote for A1 Smith. They will work along those lines until they eliminate McAdoo. Then they will go to a back-room and decide who is really to be the Demo cratic nimonee, and the name they choose will be the one nominated.’’ If you think that’s imagination you don’t know United States politics. In 1923 the Rockefeller Foundation did these things, among hundreds of others: Fought malaria in seven foreign nations, from Brazil to Palestine. Combined with twenty outside gov ernments to fight the hook worm. Contributed more than a million dollars to medical education in the British islands, gave half a million to the University of Alberta, pledged a quarter of a million to the University of Pennsylvania. Supported medical schools and twenty-five hospitals in China. Granted 194 fellowships in Ger many to support scientific workers. And that’s only one per cent of it. If there were not a great deal of water going over Niagara, you couldn’t get any power there. If there were not a great deal of money in the Rockefeller fortune all that work couldn’t be done. The longer you live the more you realize that Providence knows what it is about. Pleasing Shows At Yellow Tent (Continued From Page One) ed by Dr. Charles S.

As ' we grew throughout girlhood and boyhood, she was always there; there to wipe the tears away, to pick the thorus from our fingers, to kiss the bruises, to mend our torn gar ments, to cook for us, wash for us, pray for us. When we left the old home, hen’s was the last face we saw as we. turn ed the bend in the road. She stood shading her tear-dimmed eyes with her hand, looking, looking and still praying. We came back home and went again; she was always mother. Death cannot take her from us. The years are''powerless to blot out her image. Mother is mother, from the beginning to the end of.time.

The most important of ideals is the ideal of freedom. I — L And as regards freedom, FREE SPEECH and a FREE PRESS, which mean free expression of thought, whether in books, newspapers, mov ing pictures, or papers, are most im portant.

But after carefully checking up he was forced to the conclusion that the man upon whom his pistol refused to^ fire was his own name sake. After the war Capt. Marshall’s ca valry service was of great use to him, for he became a famous Klan leader in York county and led his Red Shirt company to aid in the redempt ion of Chester and Lancaster as well as doing woman service at home.
