The men of political bent are never absent and through their words can didates and officials are weighed in the balance of benchpvistic opinion with the frequent revivaj of political fueds and the breaking^of oratorical lances. The occasion is often a’strik ing example of political genius gone to waste and one senses the los£ which the government sustains through- the ab sence of some from the halls of' con gress.

Clark, editor of The Monroe Advertiser, For syth, Ga., who is in the city attending the Golden Jubilee celebration. Mr. Clark is one of the most capable and best known newspaper men in the state of Georgia. We know his column will be thoroughly enjoyed by our large family of readers: Hon. M. JF. Ansel, president of the board, presided, and the following members were present: Synod of South Carolina r Ex-Gov. M. F. Ansel, Rev. John McSween, W. It sometimes appears that the labor unions advocate a form of unemploy ment which does not eliminate the pay roll. One cause of so much pessimistic talk during recent years is that peo ple have come to regard the necessity of getting rich slowly as equivalent to hard times, When bne contemplates the great number of the ways that lead to hap piness in this world He does not find ■it easy to? find an excuse for an ex tended case of the blues. If the controvery concerning evolu tion waxes much warmer it 1 may be seemly for Some organization for the prevention of cruelty to animals to become a party. - « • • . - Fashion authorities have decreed that skirts shall be shorter/ That will be awful if they start, from where they already are. Even so, there are reprobates who will make no'object ion except that the abbreviation does not apply to the prices.: aOne reason why the American home has lost-some of its power is that the fathers pay more attention to* their business and the mothers give more attention to their social engagements than they do to the training of their children. rA Citizens of thw country may be roughly divided into two classes. One class contains the ninety per cent who are living beyond their means, and the other class is made up of those who live within their; means, meet their obligations and are regarded as tightwads. . , . ,, . l * ... * W.

It was. once a custom to compare the very rich to an ancient king knowh by the name of Croesus or to that"upper surface of the lacteal fluid of the cow, known as cream, but it is amply suffi cient now to-say that a person is-«a rich as the Floridians are reported to be* • i’he majority of newspaper editors and bankers would be much richer than they are if they would success fully charge for the advice which they so often vouchsafe to the farmers. It is. about as good as a lot of the ad vice -for which lawyers and doctors make a charge, but it is very doubt ful whether there is any considerable market for it. THE HOME-COMERS “Some day I’m go;*j home. So runs the dream oT all the roaming world. It is a dream which reaches every heart, regardless of the far land into which it may have wander ed. It turns the prodigal back with the tender thought of his father’s house and leads him past the spots where his substance was squander ed and brings- him to the , beloved home the memories of' which had fol lowed him like music.'. It touches him to whom fortune has been kind in alien lands and graves, upon the tab lets of the heart a message which ever calls for an answer which may lead back to a cottage or to a palace of distant days. It makes crusaders of us all in an attempt to rescue from the past'those cherished faces and scenes which cannot be blurred by level years of lonely toil or by the tide of new experiences. The dream of those wha^wpuld go back is one of the rare dreams of mortals which may be answered by the dreamer. All roads lead home ward to those, who have the willing ness to go. It is a curse of the present age that we think ourselves too busy to heed the call. In giving ourselves to those exacting tasks which appear to be plain duties we too seldom take time to refresh our hearts at ‘those deep springs from which have gushed the ideals and inspirations which have moulded whatever was worth while in the ac tivities of later days in other sur roundings. The fact remains, how ever, that this insistant call of the past cannot be silenced and those who do not heed it are poorer because they remain too much aloof from some of the most valuable associa tions of life. While this call of the homeland is familiar to each of us, it is not so easy to analyze. We know that a strong man may be moved to tears by a song which in poetic beauty and melody, recalls the scenes and faces of unforgoten days. So simple a document as an old letter ., pr . so small a thing as a faded flower wilLj-i open the floodgates of recollection and melt the heart. It is evident, therefore, that the dream of those who would turn hdmeward has—bo- W. Stone, A. C. Todd, C. M. Bailey, Rev. F. W* Gregg, D. D., W. P. Ander son, Rev. W. H. Boggs, Rev. L. Ross Lynn, D.

Nettleton Shoes ' ' One of the pleasing phases of hu man experience in connection writh a town like Clinton is that there is no change except from good to better The honored and useful institutions grow, the homes and business build ings multiply and put on new beauty the town abide with the old attract iveness which holds the heart of all who have li^ed here for a time. The gifts of culture, generosity and hos pitality which have through many, years given power to the town have no need of change or improvement.”^ *! - I— 'j r THE BENCHOVIKI There is a class of philosophers who form a part of the citizenship of every town and county. They are usually disciples of the simple life and, wear ao insignia of rank or distinction of garb which sets them apart from those who are not accustomed to give mental concern to the varied prob- leVns of existence. These philosoph ers, somewhat like their ancient pre decessors, are peculiar mainly in re gard to the places where they assem ble for the purpose of engaging in mental gymnastics. They yield to the lure of the bench and if there be no such convenient and comfortable an hind it the pulling power of memory. Memory twines its wreaths of glory about the faces and personalities of the homefolks. The worth and beau ty of the members of the family circle are magnified through the vista • of the years. We carry with us a tender recollection and an abiding love for the home friends. They were the Jonathans who stood with us by the golden gates of youth and we do not willingly let <lie the sacred associa tions of girlhood and boyhood. * ■ There is a fie of memory •also which connects itself with places. The tides of fortune may bear a man into places which are piaterially greater than the spot ^whlch he once called home. He may be familiar with cities the palaces of which are fit for the dwellings of kings. His lot may be while the more steriihg attractions of t cast in a city which has played a great part |n the history of the world. He may be the citizen of a city 'with streets, almost touching the beauty and music of the sea. Such cities as these, however, have rip such enduring foundations in his memory and love as the little village where he first saw light of day "and became acquainted with the smile and patience of love. The old scenes, never sink below the horizon of our imaginations and they enter into the gladness of., turning homeward. " . / Hope is another element df the urge which leads us back home. No mattefr how long we may have been away, we expect the same hearty wel come and unfailing affection. It is the only place at which the broken threads of yesterday may be woven together again with no loss of atrength.
