Nothing to do but work,
Nothiitg' to eat but fodd,
Nothing to wear but clothes.
To keep, one from going nude.
Nothing to breathe but air,\
Quick as a flash its gone,
Nowhere to fall but off.
Nowhere to stand but on.
Nothing to comb but hair,
Nowhere to sleep but in bed,
Nothing to weep but tears, N
" Nothing to bury but dead. -
Nothing to sing but songs,
Ah, well, alas, alack,
Nowhere to go but out,
N Nowhere to come but back.

Nothing to see but sights,
Nothing,io quench but thirst.
Nothing to have but what we’ve got;
Thus thru life we are cursed.
Nothing to strike but a gait;
Everything moves that goes,
Nothing at all but common sense
Can ever withstand these woes.

with the spiritual needs and the great

of the administration’s policy., toward
China, announced by the secretary of
state before his departure for Wash

gone over both the Chinese and for

There were . no developments in

Washington, July 13—Supported by
specific presidential approval of the
^policy he has mapped out for dealing
with the Chinese problem, Secretary
Kellogg was back from his interrupted
vacation today awaiting results of
conferences in Peking and elsewhere
through which the protocol powers are
expected to work out ways and means
of insuring the protection of their
nationals in China.
There was no indication that the

senator, here today from his home at

favored something more stringent
than the proposed law against evolu

his intention of sponsoring. > \

“This would eliminate the neces

evolution in the public schools of
South Carolina.. By passing an even
more stringent law, I believe much
good would be accomplished,” Sena

ginia, to succeed Frank Wv Mondell, J^ 88 at P*^. on ; Senator Blease wid
diplomatic conversations in various
capit
capitals had as yet reached a stage
where the exact course to be followed
could be forecast. As Mr. Kellogg
himself pointed out after his confer
ence with President Coolidge last
week at the summer White House, the
policy of the Washington government
was based oft the desire to give effect
to the commitments into which it had
entered with aspect to China at the
Washington arms limitation confer
ence.
it was absurd for anyone who pro
fessed to believe in the. Deity of
Jesus Christ to think that they
could also believe in the theory of
evolution..
“The two beliefs cannot be recon
ciled,” Senator Blease declared.
“Therefore if a MAh believes "in
evolution he certainly does not be
lieve in the Deity of Jesus Christ.
But aside from the question of here-
aiter, can there be any better doc
trine to live by than that of the
Golden Rule, prescribed by Christ ?
It makes one feel better in his daily
relations with his fellowmen to prac
tice it, even if there were no hereafter.
But reason tells us there is a future
abode for the soul, another place in
which man must give reckoning for
his earthly deeds.”
In a style which made him famous
over this state, using satire and sar
casm, Senator Ble&se then attacked
the theory of evolution and those who
profess to believe in it.

1924 this revenue had decreased to $81,667-22, a decrease of sixty-four
^er cent. The first five months of 1925 yielded us a passejiger revenuf
of $23,011.28 against $30,831.88 for the same five months of 1924. ThiiN
was a decrease of twenty-five per cent within the last year.
1
We originate only seventy-five per cent of our passenger and twenty
per cent of our freight traffic. - This means that other communities con
tribute twenty-five per cent of our passenger traffic and eighty per
cent of our freight tonnage. 1
I
There is now scarcely any demand for local passenger service on any
of the railroads. This is specially true as to. the Columbia, Newberry
gnd Laurens Railroad, because it is paralleled by a splendid highway,
passing through every town and city between Columbia and Laurens.
f¥l
Train service cannot be arranged to compete with the frequent and con
venient service that automobiles afford along this highway.
For several years the Company has sustained’ Jjeavy loss in operating
particularly Trains Nos. 54 and 55. As an illustiration, on May 21, 1925,
Passenger Train No. 54 handled only seven passengers between Colum
bia and Laurens, the revenue for this entire trip amounting to only
$2.93. While this is an extreme illustration, it has become a well estab
lished fact that these trains do not pay the Company the cost of operating
them, and their operation has been and can be continued in the
only at a heavy loss.
The Company wants to discontinue the operation of these two trains,
and believes that this service can be withdrawn without any substantial
inconvenience to our patrons or the general public.
We believe thAt such action will have the approval of the thinking
~..v.—:*■ 4.v_4. a- •' . . - • -
public. We submit that it is not wise to require Uie railroad to furnish
service at a loss when there is no substantial public demand or necessity
for such service. This takes away mone$ r that the railroad should spend
in improving and perfecting the service that its patrons really need and
demand from it. • 1 . . ,
The Coippany wants., to discontinue Local Passenger Trains Nos. 54
and 55 because they can be operated only at a heavy loss, and because
pur patrons do not need and do not use these trains. We believe that
these trains will not be missed, and tha^ the Company can better use
the money that it is now losing on them *m perfecting the other service*
that our patrons really need and use. .
Isn’t this a fair proposition? If you think so, won’t you help us by
writing us a Iqtjter telling us so? _ ‘

i President.
