SWEET HOLY SPIRIT
It is sweet to feel the Holy Spirit .de®P within,
To feel our heart is free from sin;
To feel our soul as fresh and clean—
As flowers after a summer rain.
“Oh, Holy Spirit," “Oh, Heavenly Dove,”
Wing your way in our hearts from our Father above,
Fill us with Joy day by day.
And help us walk the narrow way.
The Holy Spirit thrills our soul.
As our faith in Jesus makes us whole;
It is sweet to know of this bliss untold.
And feel the glory in our soul unfold.
• —Rosa Bellamy, State Park.
BUILDING UP POSTWAR HANDICAPS
The rapid progress of the war on all fronts makes it
seem probable that it may not be necessary for many boys
and girls now under eighteen years of age to enter the armed
services. Those who have been or may yet be inducted, if
their education has been interrupted, are now and will here
after be given opportunity for further study at government
expense, including in many cases subsistence while studying.
The government recognizes the right of every American to
an education, and gives it to him, with interest, if his military
service in the crisis has interfered with his normal oppor-
tunities. He must not be educationally handicapp^ after the
war because "be nfielp^^oTwin Hie war.
Not only so, but the men and women who have served
in the war will bg given substantial preference by both gov
ernment and industry in the matter of employment after the
war.
This means that boys and girls now under eighteen who
do not at least finish high school will in a few years find
themselves in fierce competition in the business world vith
govemment-educated^servicemen and women who will hold
an important and well deserved educational advantage be
cause of having served, the nation^ its crisis. In other wc^s,
the boy or girl now of high school age who doesn’t continue
in school is placing heavy obstacles in his or her own way
in the matter of getting a decent job after the war.
BETTER CONTINUE IN SCHOOL THIS FALL.
WILSON’S BIRTHPLACE
South Carolina some years ago took steps to preserve
the Woodrow Wilson home in Columbia.
A board supervises the property and there is some one
on duty to keep the place up and to show it to visitors. From
time to time Wilsoniana is added. One item of interest is
the b^ in which hie was bom.
Now comes the i^ood ’ word'''from- Mrs: Cordell Hull,
president of the Woodrow Wilson Birthplace Foundation, that
A fund has been established to keep up the old^ Manse in
Staunton, Ya., in which the great president was born. Already
$50,000 has been given, and it is hoped to double the sum
80 as to provide adequate income to insure good care.
Mr. Wilson's father who with his mother lies buried in
the First Presbyterian church yard, Columbia, was pastor in
Staunton when Tommy, as he was Imown in boyhood days,
first saw the light of day. The furnishings of the house are
said to be very much the same as they were in 1855 when
the Rev. Joseph Ruggles Wilson first moved in. The child,
who was later to be such an international figure, was bom
there December 28, 1855, Ho was about 12 years old when.
he moved to Columbia, where his father taught in the Co
lumbia Theological seminary. The younger iWilson called the
residence at Hampton and Henderson Streets home from that
time until he went out into the world for himself after finish
ing college.—^The State.
—COMMON "SENSE-AT-CfflCySES- —
Adherence to basic fire prevention rules will eliminate
greatest fire dangers in circuses, says George W, Booth,
Chief Engineer of the National Board of Fire Underwritera.
Most cities permit circuses and carnivals to operate in
tents without requiring them to meet the regulations for
safety to life found in their building codes, ordinances, and
other local legislation. This is probably due to the tem
porary nature of such e^^hibitions. But the fact remains that
the combustible nature of the tents, poles, seats, shavings, hay
and straw used in connection with circuses and carnivals,
calls for stringent enforcement of fire prevention measures.
No license or occupancy permit should be issued for any
circus or carnival until an inspection has shown that the
fundamentals of safety to life, as prescribed for places of
assembly, have been met to the most practicable degree
possible.
Fire appliances shquld be distributed throughout all
tents, and operating personnel made familiar with their use.
Local firemen should attend larger exhibitions and be fami
liar with exits and fire fighting equipment “No Smoking”
announcements should be made over loud speakers, and
I>atrons should be required to discard lighted cigars and
cigarettes at the entrance. Crowding should be avoided and
facilities ];)rovided for calling the fire department which
rtKmld be made familiar with the show after it is set up.
“Safety at circuses and carnivals is largely a matter of
fire prevention and quick action to extinguish a small fire,”
says Mr. Booth. “The danger of panic is outstanding, and
ample exit-ways must be assured.”

Historic Boykm Pond
Dramod*of All Water
(Contlnned from first l»s«)
will be required on the new hlshway
location.
It is Interesting to know that the
new highway from Boykin to States*
burg will He east of the Southern Rail*
way right of way. thus eliminating a
number of the present railroad cross
ings.
The draining of the Boykin pond
required some five days time. The
water was let out by way of the sluice*
way so gradually that the thousands
of game fish in the lake were able to
/ind sanctuary In Swift Creek, the
feeder stream to the lake. Swift
Creek has probably resumed Its form
er course through the lake area, a
course that preralled sereral hundred
years ago.
The draining of the lake rereals a
bottom that is studded with thousands
iof short stumps, remants of trees that
were' cut down away back tn the din
past, when a Boykin first built the
dam that created the lake.
The new spillway that Is under con
struction now is of concrete with rail,
road Irons for gate guides. The spill
way is to have a triple opening, each
12 feet wide and 11 feet deep. There
will he nine gates, three to each sec
tion.
A control canal will carry'water to
the “old swimming hole,” which is to
be greatly improred.
All of the work, and Boykin Is a
scene of much activity these days. Is
under the direction of Bolivar C. Boy
kin, owner of Mill way Plantation
which la virtually Boykin.
A CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank our many friends
and neighbors for their kindness and
sympathy shown during the sickness
and death of our father. T. W. Smith.
