Va. < (BALTIMORE) Charleston, W. Va. Richmond, Vn Charleston, S. C. - A Card: to Owners of Rural Telephone Lines We arc anxious to see that all lines owned by other parties and connected with us are kept in such condition as to furnish efficient service. Where the owners of rural lines are responsible for their upkeep,' we want to co-operate with them. All lines require a thorough overeauling occa sionally if the best service is to be obtained. W6 recommend that every line connected with us be overhauled at 1 ->ast once a year, and that at least one experienced telephone man assist in this work. The cost of this work when divided among all the patrons of the line, makes the artlount paid by each man small, and this cost will be more than offset by the improved service. If the owners of rural telephone lines in this sec tion are experiencing trouble with their service, we will appreciate their talking the matter over with our Manager or writing us fully. We will gladly do what we can toward helping you improve the con dition of your line. SOITHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY ;; Bo* 247, Columbia, S. C.

A tribute to "the great multltu<lc of unknown men" who const it iitf tile bod y of nation, ami mi appeal for patriotism in ever> day life, Instead of on sisvlal occa sions only" marked a sjieech-. by I'resl (lent Wilson to?lay from the treasury *teps at PliffC Day exercise*.

In intnsluctlng Mr. Wilson, 8ee.re? tary McAdoo said (ho meeting was lu'hl to pay homage to "the tlag ?f our country at a time when it ban a dee|>er slgifMlcam c than ever bffore In tin* world's history,; when it Is . the ho|s> f ?f civilization." "For iii>'," said the President "the Hag does not express a mere body of VWM sentiments'. It Is the embodi ment, not of a sentiment, hut of a history and no man can lightly serve under tlmt Wag who has not caught some of the meaning of that history, "Vou do not create the meaning of a national life by any literary cxposl tlon of It, but by the actual dally endeavors ftf a , great i>eoj?le t/> do the tasks of the day and live up to the Ideals of honesty and righteous ness and Just conduct. And as we think of these things, our tribute Is to those men who have created this A exiH'rlenee. Of these men we feel that they have shown us the way. They have not been afraid to go beforf*. They have known that they were shaking the thoughts of a great |h>o ple when they led that great people along the paths of achievement. There was not a single swash buckler .'among' them. They were men of sober, quiet thought, the more effective because theiV was no bluster In it. They were fuen who 'thought along the lines jof duty, not along the lines of Keif ?.ag grandizement. They were men. In short, who thought of the |>eoplc whom they served and not of themselves. "Hilt while we think of them, and do honor to them as those who have shown us the way, let lis not forget that the real experience and life of n nation "rtt'Si with tlie great ujullttniTe ?of unknown men. They constitute the body of the nation. This tlag Is the essence of their dally endeavors. This Hag does not express any more than wjiut they are and what they desire to be; and as 1 think of the life of this great nation it seems' to me that we sometimes look to the wrong pliVces I for its sources. . ? r. : ? ? "We look to tlii' noisy places wl^ere men arc talking in the market place: we look to where men are expressing their individual opinions: we look where paruslans are expressing pas sion ; Instead of trying to attnne our ears to that voiceless mass of men who merely go about their dally task, try to he honorable, try to serve the people they love, try to live worthy "bf the great communities to which they belong. These are' the breath of the nation's nostrils; tlfese are the sinew of its might. ?'There are no days of -special* pa triotism.

There was no synipton of a feeling of disgrace on black and yel low faces, and doubtless they felt none. We suppose tha.t those fellows, are sentenced to serve terms of from thirty days to ]>erhaps twelve months for of fenses of a more or less grave nature and that these sentences were ini|>osed as a punishment. Save the mark ! Punishment O.)? -the last one of these fellows will come off that gang cooked and primed for more devilment of a more heinous character, many praying to get back Into a place-of good feed ing, regular hours of sleep and regular hours for the doing of light labor. > This presumption then, being gener ally acknowledged as correct that the chain gang system is inadequate as a corret live. or n preventive of what remcdy or system of punishment may lie devised to supersede it. in part at least '! \ nnmher of years ago it was. my ? privilege to publish a newspai>or 1n this community. In a certain issue' of that paper. 1 advocated what I then considered, and which 1 still consider a mode of real punishment that would prove an almost sovereign ?? remedy against- the commission of-coctaln forms of crime. That remedy was tho es tablishment of a whipping, post. Crimes of graver nature than the ordinary violations of the law. should naturally ls? punished, in part at least. In a sterner way. but even in the sonteiK-os imposed for the punishment' of these graver crimes, a part of M.iose. . sew*, tences should eonslsf of the whipping post penalty. . . ~ ? As punlshrflcnt for the commission of the smaller grades of crime however, I feel fully convinced that the lash properly applh dt will kill; for a tlmej at least all thoughts of further offense against the law, and constitute real and not bogus punishmcut. Wlij cannot our people look at this' matter from a common sense stand- j point. The whipping |n>st in ante ' belluni days was an established mode of punishment, and during those times we are told that the commission of I H*t t \ i-riuio> at least was reduced to a : luiniinum. Similar results can efl"*M't ??? l now by the establishment of the ante helium remedy. T.uf. no, the I soutanicntalist cries that^that mode of punishment savors much of barbar- 1 j Ism and apparently there are quite enonirh citizens who hold these mushy i sentiments to hh>ck efforts to Install a sane and sure remedy for the, ills from which wc\ have so long suffered. However that may be. It will be' .generally admit tc-d -by the observant j that sentencing the averago criminal * to the chain gang for offense* against j the law. is virtually no punishment at > nil. but is practically sentencing that off end ?? i Mttetnl h pr??i<.?^ged picnic. ; T-' 5 - \\V"A. 8cl?r?k^j VillXKI) (JKHMANS (iwir|i?

Tin- most impressive thing in the United States (luring the last few weeks has been the weight and power of our public opinion gathering to back President Wilson ill his conduct of the nation's foreign affairs. Without any sensation or noise, the whole mind of 'our people has set into resolution. The protests of those who are ntjt of us in this matter are like the squaks of some field mouse sounding across a glacier. There have been many opinions held in this country regarding the - war and much free expression of those opinions, but now that diversity of feeling Is over and done with. The situation concerns not only rights, but also the part we 'hope the United States is to. play in establishing justice a*s t lie ba , sis for conducting relations between ; nations and in enlarging freedom for mankind. When the soln>r depths of. realization aire sounded, that is what t>Uf country means to us.
