Lightning De Historic Old Church Hartsville, Julv 8.?The pausing of the historic Welsh Neck Baptist church at Society If ill when it was destroyed hy fire at 9 {30 o'clock Thursday night, July 5, having been struck hy lightning, removed from t.lje F'ee Dee section h landmark rich in tradition. The steeple, nearly 100 feet high, caught the bolt as it did once before in the early '80s. The storm was similar to the tirst. It was tern tic, one peal after another, accompanied hy a little cloudburst, the hardest ruin of the seasonSeeing the tongue of flames shooting up, the pastor, the Rev. C. E. Stevens, rushed over from the parsonage across the street, and residents of the community gathered about the edifice. The flames were making rapid headway. The 80 year old treasured Bible was saved, along with a few other articles, but practically everything was destroyed. Welsh Neck Baptist church as an organization dates buck considerably more than 100 vears. The first church was erectea across the Pee I-hre river in Marlboro county. This was burned, and another was built on the same site. Later this was removed to the Darlington side and erected ut Society Hill. In time this church was taken down, und in 1840 work was commenced on the handsome structure that burned Thursday night. The residents of the community gave their time and erected the magnificent frame structure, ono of the finest in the state. It was built of heavy, unbled pine, with handmade nuils and mortised together with large pegs. Three years were consumed in the 'building and June 4, 18411, the structure was dedicated. ^ 1 he church records show that $7,169.67 was paid for the material entering the building. The work was given by the members in the community. Hence building the church cost u large sum when it was erected. At the dedication of the church the dedication prayer was said by the late Rev. J. (). B. Dargan, a distinguished divine of those days. The church is rich in history connected with the Palmetto .State. The long line of honored, as- well as pious men and women who attended the church and the many pastors who preached there would fill a volume of interest. The gracefulness and dignity of the majestic, tall, white edifice, with large columns of the brick front 1 porch and the 100 foot steeple which was built us a separate unit from the ground up at the center to the rear of the building, yet a part of it, had caught the eye of everybody passing through Society Hill. The distinctiveness of the church made an impression on all who saw it. At the top of the steeple, which held one of the sweetest toned bells of the state, pointing heavenward, was the spire with the weathervane keeping tab on the wind. It was this spire that caught the first lightning stroke, which snapped it off and tossed it headlong through the roof into a pew of the church, where it was found standing upright. In the first catastrophe the building did not catch fire. In recent years considerable money had been sj>ent on the church for a heating system, new roof, a pipe organ, costing $2,700, which was installed ten years ago. Painters wore getting ready to repaint at the time of the loss. The building and equipment cannot be replaced for $25,000. Only $0,000 insurance was carried on the 'building, and it is thought there was $800 on the organ. A loss, and a heavy one to South ( arolina, has come in the destruction of this fine old church. Boy Scout News Notes The regular meeting of Troop Two was held last Friday, July 13th at 8 p. in. We assembled in front of the meeting house where we presented the colors and gave the Oath of Allegiance artd the scout oath. T hen we marched into the house and had the roll called, twenty scouts, four officers, one visitor and one new member-to-be were present. The scouts paid their registration foes and eight paid their camp fees. The camp is to be held at Dinkins pond and all scouts are requested to pay their camp fees ami have their equipment at the meeting house by Thursday night.

Is Smith Big Enough For Chief Executive? (By Will Ihimnt) Houston, June 27.?'Phi* j* Houston, lovely and lovable, brilliant with sunshine, architecturally handsome, leisurely active, courteous and ttliromfortablf, with a library that rlv?l* New York'*, and a temperature that rivals hell. The street* are vivid with bunting, noisy with bands, and almost covered with parades. Below the hotel window long troops of cowboys pass, lassoing pretty oiaidens on the curb, who mourn when they find the capture temporary; ahead and behind the cavalcade are samples of the national political symbol, the donkey, What stirring music! Tears come to the eyes as ono recalls the Memorial Day processions of years ago, and the fine songs we sang, and the dreams we dreamt of a nation intelligent, peaceful and free. Later comes a sparsely populated prohibition parade, chanting "Glory, Hallelujah," and announcing that the Constitution must be preserved. No(, saying whether in alcohol or otherwise. There is hardly a delegate in line; they are all standing with one foot on the brass rail, blowin g off the foam. Houston is a perfect host. It receives the delegates with great warmth, with cordial and yet quiet hospitality; it meets them at the trains, escorts , them to bheir hotels in private cars, and welcomes large numbers of them into spacious homes where the southern lady radiates her aristocratic grace. I'm glad I came. And yet our coming, anybody's coining, is quite useless; for lieru, too, the convention is over before it has begun. "Al" (or, as we are told to say now, "Alfred"?as if anyone would vote for Alfred Smith) is nominated before a vote is cast; and that item settled, it does not matter a bean what the platform says about prohibition, f#rm relief, or ways and means of mitigating Tammany corruption on the sidewalks of New York. What sort of man is it that has captured all these delegates, and resurrected and united a shattered party, without stirring from his desk or neglecting for one moment the tasks which for eight years he has done so well ? There is something irresistible in him?a personality whose color and lure make Hoover seem infinitely remote, impossible for th^. common {>eople to understand or lovo. What is the secret of this pervading popularity ? There are many elements in it, running from racial considerations to astute expenditures; but beneatli them all is the fact that Governor Smith is not so different from the average man, either in character or in name, but that affection can mount to him. People will admire Hoover, but their hearts will be far from him. They will sing "AP? My Pal," but not even a college cheer leader will persuade them to sing about the man who wishes to bring science into government. They will call Smith his first syllable, and it will be dif| hcult not to vote for a man with whom one is so friendly. That first name will be worth half a milliori i votes; and even the last name should bring a hundred thousand. Millions more will go to Smith because he symbolizes perfectly the ultimate dream, in every American I heart, of rising from poverty to honor and power. Think of it, a boy? born in lowly South Street, New 'York, son of a truckman and a wild Irish Rose; selling newspapers to help keep the wolf away; sent to work at the age of 13; earning a, simple wage as clerk in Fulton Fish Market. and then as a laborer in a pumping station; so then the old shibbo eth is true, that in America any lad can rise from newsboy to President 1 Nothing could he more romantic, or more like the stories we used to love; and nothing could appeal mure passionately to the American soul. For this is precisely what America has meant to all the world. Many men have risen from poverty to greatness; what stands out here is the spectncle of a man coming from politics to statesmanship thru all the mire of machine subserviency; see him at the beginning of his career, handsome, sociable, and happy as n pauper; supplying speeches or demand for any Tammany candidate, good, bad or human. "He could be counted upon to tak< orders." says a sympathetic hiogra phor; "he was .safe, sane and regu lar." In 1904 he is rewarded with i nomination to the assembly, ant there he serves the "organization" si faithfully that all the liberal pres: denounce him, and the Citizens Unioi blacklists him as having "on most is sues of importance stood against tb , public interest." He "shows not the stightest erl dence of independence"; he under- i blend* that independence is no open sesame to public office, and suspect* that if he rebels against the sachme* i he will soon be as dead as a New i York Governor who was impeached I for honesty. ? So it goes for Id years, as As- i semblyman, Sheriff, Senator and t Governoi. Ihcn suddenly, in 11122,* he 1 revolts against Murphy, MoCooey and Uhe other uncrowned kings of , metropolitan Democracy; he ignores , all consideration of expediency, i stands his ground, and wins; this is the birth of the second A1 Smith, the metamorphosis of the politician into a man trying to be a statesman; the j worm turns, and hatches into a creature with wings. 1 From that moment his flight as- ' cends until the organization become.i ' as secondary in his administration as the husband in a modern family, lie ceases to rely on tipsy brown derbies and prima donna smiles; he forgets eifeVything but his work, becomes so .interested in it that it is his recreation as well as his duty, and takes the place of presidential ' fishing or hobby-hoss riding. "I have faithfully, honestly and solely given every minute of my time to the business of the State of New York," he says; and it is so. Above all, he can efface himself, and take advice, and delegate strands of his power to competent subordinates, whom he appoints without regard to party or creed. Thru them he atones for his own lack of a formal education, and shows how character can employ intellect, whereas intellect without character is like Buridan's ass, poised and starving be- , tween arguments, torn between wish- es without will. Nevertheless, in all fundamental things he relies on his own judgment. It is be who defends the Socialist assemblymen when the Republican Legislature ousts them for Christianity; it is he who stands in the way of the Lusk bill that would have made thinking illegal in New York; it is he who consolidates the business of the State into a minimum of departments, under responsible cabinet heads, limits their expenditures by executive budget, and makes the government of his State a model for all America. It is he who shows the way, even to Congress, in protecting the common-wealth from unsocially 1 acquisitive enterprise, by State conI trol of water power. State supervision and aid of housing corporations and welfare legislation standing between the worker and ruthles9 exploitation. -It is he who takes the most complex problems of administration and finance, pierces thru their verbose technicalities, and makes them intelligible to the electorate. Politically, this uneducated man has been our greatest educator. It is this record that has made him stand out so high above his fellow Democrats that at this convention no one can think of any name but his. Back of the record, however, is the man. "In the end only personality counts," as Goethe said, and it is personality that draws even his opponents to Governor Smith. We admire his simplicity and kindliness; we admire his honesty, which is as great as his associates will permit; we admire his courage, his brave admission, in the teeth of his enemies, that he has not dhanged his views on the only saure that threatens hi* defeat. Above a)}, we admire hie loyalty ?to his tasks, to his faith, to his uOther (with whom he spent every Sunday morning, even in the days of lis greatness), to his wife and fam? ly, even to his organization; he has lot, in the years of his prosperity^ Lurned his back upon the friafld* ()/ lis youth. He is a good man. May he be lominatjcd by this convention, and by %n overwhelming vote elected Goverlor of New York forever in,lD30.
