AN EVENING PRATER
If
If I have wounded any soul today,
If I have caused one foot to go astray,
If I have walked in my own willful
way—
Good Lord, forgive!
If I have uttered idle words or vain,
If I have turned aside from want or
pain
Lest I myself should suffer thru the
strain—
Good Lord, forgive!
If I craved for joys that are not mine,
If, I have let my wayward heart re
pine,
Dwelling on things on earth, not thipe
divine—
Good Lord, forgive! :
If I have been perverse, or hard, or

Good Lord, forgive!
Forgave the gins I have confessed to

Forgave the secret sins I do not see;

Help me to live!

tor Dial has dons some wonderful
work in propaganda, looking towards
a reform in this matter. '
His biggest accomplishment, how
ever, has been killing the Bursom
bill, by means of which $400,000,000
has been saved to the people of the
United States. The Bursom bill was
to all intents and purposes an outra- 1
geous steal, proposing to pension peo
ple who were never actively in the
War Between the States. If it had
passed it would have distributed
$400,000,000 to people largely in the
North and West, and would have been
an added* burden to the South without
any income, and it would have result
ed jn still further burdening the peo
ple with heavier taxes. Senator Dial
filibustered against the bill and work
ed against it through two sessions.

reception on Friday afternoon when
Mrs. J. D. Austin, Mrs. R. P. Austin

and Senate, vetoed by the president,
passed*over his veto in the House, and
would have passed over his veto in
the Senate but for the fact that Sena
tor Dial rose from the sick bed and
voted against it. It failed to pass
over the veto nf the president by one
vote, so that Senator Dial is respon
sible, not only by his speeches, but by
his vote for saving $400,000,000 to
the taxpayers of the United States.
He was personally thanked by ' thp
president for his work in opposing
this outrageous bill, which even the
Republican president cpndemned as an
outrage upon the people.
We need just such a man as Sena
tor Dial in the Senate at all times,
and it is hoped that Laurens county
will roll mp a tremendous majority,
returning him to the Senate.

"The Homespun Dress’*

% J. L. Bell of Brevard, N. C., born
in 1949 at Greenwood, S. C., sent t?
The State the other day tHe following
which he finds reprinted in the Ral
eigh News and Observer from the
Houston, Texas Post. Although quite
popular in the South during the days
of the war, the song is now almost
forgotten. The song is reproduced
here. Does anyone know the music
to it?
The Homespun Dress
Oh, yes, I am a Southern girl,
And glory in the name;
I boast of it with greater pride
Than glittering wealth or fame.
I envy not the Northern girl,
Her robes of beauty rare, ,
Though diamonds deck her snowy neck
And pearls bestud her hair.
Hurrah, Hurrah!
For the sunny South, so dear!
Three cheers for the homespun dress
The Southern ladies wear!
Entertaining in the hall were Mrs.
William Moore of Greenwood and
Mrs. J. A. Bailey. The dining room
was a setting of yellow and white,
emphasized by the centerpiece of
Shasta daisies, cover of Maderia over
yellow, yellow and white mints and
block cream of yellow and white. The
cream was cut by Mrs. Crawford
Clapp, and Mrs. William Moorhead,
and served by Missse Mary Henry,
Frances O’Daniel, Elizabeth Tribble
and Maude Ellis.
< Many friends are indebted to the
hostesses for this enjoyable occasion.
CLINTON DIAL
CLUB FORMING
Ladies ef Community Plan To Or
ganize and Work for Re-election
of Senator N. B. Dial.
A large club of enthusiastic Dial
supporters is being formed in Clinton
to bring out a large vote for Sena
tor Dial’s re-election. In order to
vote for Senator Dial at the primary
it is necessary to sign the club roll
at Workman’s Hardware store on or
before the 22nd of July. The object
of the club is to get a large number
to sign the chib roll and be ready for
the election. The opportunities for
putting through legislation of a con
structive character are very limited
when the Republican party ha& a ma
jority‘in both houses of Congress, and
has a Republican president in the
White House. Nevertheless, Senator
Dial has been able to accomplish a
great deal,

ion in Congress and elsewhere on the
necessity of refongingihe cotton ex-

Now Northern goods are out of date;
And since €Hd Abe’s ttdcade
We Southern girls can be content
With goods that’s Southern made.
We send our sweethearts to the war,
But, girls, ne’er you mind—
Your soldier love will not. forget
The girl he left behind.
The Southern land’s a glorious land,
And has a glorious cause;
Then cheer, three queers for Southern
rights,
And for the Southern boys!
We scorn to wear a bit of silk,
A bit of Northern lace,
But make our homespun dresses up
, And wear them with a grace. *
And now, young man, a word to you,
If you would win the fair,
Go to the fields where honor calls,
And win your lady there.
Remember that our brightest smiles
Are for the true and brave,
And that our tears are all for those
Who fill the soldier’s grave.
