C. T. U. and interest is growing in the local union, some facts 1^ ^ the organization may be interesting. The story of the organizing tour in 1883 of France Willard and Anna Gordon is indeed fascinating and can not fail to inspire with new zeal and courage the present day crusaders who carry on their activities under Tiiucb more favorable conditions. Miss Willard’s organizdng trip covered 30,- OOO miles, every state and territory in the nation, bvery capital city save one, and included every city of 10,000 or mere inhabitants. And so, the daunt less, magnetic, Christian woman car ried to every part of our land the ring ing motto, “For God and Home and Every Land.” This motto holds with in its compass all that makes life worth living. True to its God-given mission, the Woman’s Christian Tem perance union reaches out into every line of service, in the home, social or civic life, and touches every spring of action that can be correlated for hu- rnanity’s good. Its s<fope is as wide as the universe and limited only by hu manity’s need. Prayer ha* b'^'n -the habit and source of strength of th W. C. T. U. even befor^ Frances Wil^ lard offered the famous ree^tiod^ at the first national conventmn.^|)re res olution was, “That, recogiming the fact that our cause Is and yml be com batted by mighily, determined and re lentless forces, we will, trusting Him who is the Prince of Peace, meet argu- ment with argument, misjudgmenl with patience, denunciation with kind ness and all our difficulties and dan gers with prayer.” This resolution still governs the various chapters all ! over the world. They are not composed ' of narrow, bigoted women with a’ holier-than-thou attitude. On the oth er hand they enroll consecrated, thoughtful, far-thinking women who pledge themselves to continue to up hold the ideals and idealifm of their founder, .Mies Willard, to maintain ^the teaching all over our fair land ihat total abstinence is the only safe rule of life, that alcohol is a poison and unfit for human c-onsumption, that there mu-Jt be a gc?,pel of respect {for lawfully constituted authority and •that the hi;hr*'t idca’r of Chri.’tian patriotism m<l»t be inculcated in our young jfeoplk So with a far-reach ing pr^am foV^orld prohibition, Amerjdmization, so^I morality, child re and social service there is in th^ W. C. T. U. work a program suf- icient to inspire the enthusiasm of a stoic and rouse the n^st sluggish to action. This organization appeals to each home loving woman for such measure of support as she ,msiy be able to give its soul-stirring program of sevvice. Once a forlorh'"htope, the W. C. T. Ui has wruoght mightily for the public weal and just now is the opportunity to make its future as thrilling as its past. The real heart of Am?'rican womanhood beats in unison with the heart bf the W. C. T. U. Enlist now and help to make the world safer, hAppicr and better through the triumph of Christ’s Gold en Rule in custom and in law. The foregoing are excerpts from a leaflet sent out from national W. C. T, U. headquarters and constitute a 'all to the "women of Clinton from the newly formed union here.

MeSWAIN DOES— u. a. Bars C. MeSwain appears on the payroll from July 1,1922, to July 1,192i at $86.66 par month; from July 1, 1924, to September 1; 1925, at $63.33 per month; from August 1,1927, to July 1, 1928, at $83.33 par month. We understand that Mr. MeSwain endeavors t o explain this by stating that Sara 0. MeSwain is hia wife and that neither he nor Mrs. MeSwain received a ny part of this money, but that this, together with much of his private money was spent in paying steno graphers and typist during rush periods. Why was H necessaiy to use his wife's name on the government pa yroll rather thim the actual workers in his office? Were these rush periods caused by government busin ess or flooding his district with political propaganda in the form of congratulatory letters and speeches delivered in the Oongreesional Record and not tim floor of the House? William A. MeSwain appears on the payroll fro m September 1, 1925, to August 1,1927, at a salary ef $83.3d per month. Was this money also being used for outside or family help? ^ Jo^B.JJuJWtson placed QiL thu payjroJUuljLL 1928, to July V1929, at $83A2 per mouth, ^ January 1, 1931, at $100.00 per month, and again from Jnly 1,1931, to November 1, 1931, at $100.00 per month, when Mr. Culbertson has been a student at the Univendty of South Carolina during the entire time he was on the payroll? J. Broadus Knight, formerly of the Minter Ho mes Corporation, has been oleiA of the Military Affain eomimttee since May 1, at a mlary of $275.00 per mon th.
