Doctors Disagree
1 When children are irritable and
peevish, grind their teeth and sleep
restlessly, have digestive pains and
disturbances, lack of appetite, and
have itching eyes, nose and fingers,
doctors will not always agree that
they are suffering from- worms,
Many mothers, too, will not believe
that their carefully brought up child
ren can have Worms. The fact re
mains that these symptoms will yield,
in a great majority of cases, to a
few doses of white's Cream Vermi
fuge, the sure expellant of round
and pin worms. If your child has
any of these symptoms, try this
harmless, old fashioned remedy,
I which you can get at 35c per bottle
from DeKalb Pharmacy, Camden, S.

Ga. Baptist Head
Scores Conference
__
Savannah, Ga., May 26 The Savannah
Morning New. today published
a sermon by Dr. John E. White, pres.
dent of the Georgia Baptist convention
in which Dr. White criticized
the disposal of charges of stock speculation
brought against Bishop James
Cannon, Jr., at the recent conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church,
South.
In the prepared sermort which Dr.
; White delivered at the First Baptist
church here last night he said in
part:
"This is not a matter for MethojU?Uonlyy-.it
upsets US all. It is a
wound keenly felt by all evangelical
Christianity. It is especially a heavy
blow on the cause of prohibition for
Which Baptists and Methodists in the
I South stand together in close sympathy.
4 IT .
It is true that the enemies of prohibition
made much of the gambling
incident and rejoiced that the bishop
had put such a club in their hands.
This is no reason for Christians to
make nothing-of it and to shpw no
distress when the conference put/
the club in the hands of their enemies.
> There should have been sonye way
for a great church conference to indicate
its support of Bishop Cannon's
prohibition activities and, at the
same time, to repudiate his gambling
activities. The conference passed
resolutions condemning all sorts of
gambling. But it whitewashed the
gambler. It pronounced against a
public evil in the abstract, but condoned
it in the concrete.
"I am devoted to the Methodists,"
continued Dr. White, "the great Methodists
of history are my patron
saints. It would be impossible to
discredit or embarrass the Methodist
church which stands arms linked with
the Baptists under the vast burden
of the masses of the common people
of the southern states. The'general
conference at Dallas, however, has
not helped the Methodist cause nor
the cause of Christ by its refusing
to assert its conscience and its courage
in the case of Bishop Cannon.
"Many great and good tftings are
doubtless being done by the conference
of the southern Methodist
church, which whitewashed a gambling
bishop."

KENTUCKY CHAMPION SPELLER
I* Girl of 14 Who keep* Houhc For
Her Father >
*rom the coal mining region of
Western Kentucky comes a story that '
?# destined to win a place among the
many interesting legends that have <
grown out of the National Spelling 1
Bee. It is the story of how Laura '
Lucile Martin became champion spell-,
er of Hopkins county, Kentucky, and
it will become an inspiring legend of
courage and almost incredible perse- '
verance.
Laura Lucile Martin lives with her
father and sisters in a log cabin that
is not dissimilar to other log cabins
that serve as homes for families of
coal miners in the obscure village
knows as Daniel Boone, five* years
ago Laura's mother died and since
then Laura, who is now only 14 years
old, has done her best to play the role
of mother, housekeeper and school
girl.
Her household duties serj&usly
interfered with her schooling that
not until last year was she able to
complete a full school term. No
movies or radio programmes offered
diversion through the long winter
evenings. It may have been this lack
of entertainment that enabled her to
study so assiduously at home. Because
study she did?so well, in fact,
that she was able to defeat all her
schoolmates in the Daniel Boone
School Spelling Bee.
Very little attention was paid to
plainly dressed Laura when she arrived.-in
Madisonville to* compete with
other school champions in the Hoskins
County Spelling Bee?that is,
not at first. But when the bee was
well under way, the spectators who
had crowded into the Madisonville
High School Auditorium began to
make whispered comments about her.
Kventually only two spellers were
left. One was Laura. The pronouncer
gave the other, Gladys Hensley,
the word "kilogram." Gladys
missed. But "kilogram" was just like
all the other words to Laura. She
spelled it correctly and became county
champion. Citizens of Madisonville,
realizing Laura's extreme poverty,
immediately decided to raise
sufficient funds to buy her clothing
and pay her expenses to Louisville
for the state bee.
REMEMBER JUSTICE
^ .It is time for the people of South
Carolina and their governor to listen
to the voice that was heard by God
and with instant attention when Cain
for his own purposes had slain his
brother. "The voice of thy brother's
blood crieth urrto me from the
ground."
It is time to turn back and remember
that morning when two citizens
in the regular pursuit of their
duty were bearing a large sum of
money to its proper destination.
They wist not of deadly danger lying.
in wait for them. They had no
warning that two men had craftily
planned to secure by violence what
they could not or would not earn
by honest service.
Yet the stage was all set for a
grim, resolute robbery, backed by
murder, if such seemed necessary.
This is one salient fact, that stands
firm. Even eyes misted with the
sense pf human tragedy should not
grow blind to the calculated and callous
quality, of this deadly trap set
for unsuspecting brother men.
And murder was actually committed.
Out of that ambush came a
shot so well directed that Earle Belue
slumped in death. His wife and
children could jiot there plead mercy
for one beloved and depended upon;
In that moment no voices appealed
to Coleman and Johnson to spatre
their victim. No, they took matters
in their own hands, tried to rob and,
failing this, took vengeance.
There is an eloquence of mercy.
A people not moved by it? appeal
would not be n good people. Blessed
are the merciful for they shall obtain
mercy.
But as there is a time to show
mercv, there is a time to maintain^
justice. Without justice society
would disintegrate.
If deliberately planned robbery,
armed for deadly work and issuing
in murder, where no compunction or
mercy is shown, can bo excused, then
courts of justice are expensive pretenses
and the claims of mercy,
grown exhorbitant, have buried justice
along with murder's victim in
the silent grave.?Spartanburg Herald.
