wanted to carry it home with them.
I was also impressed with the
strong program. Some of the tirest
talent in the world was there. Among
the addresses that most impres-eu
me were those by W. C. Pearce, Dr.
E. 0. Watson, J. B. Green and F. W.
Greggs-To appreciate them, it woulr
be necessary to hear them. Mrs. E.

Another number on the program
that deserves special mention wa?
the paper read by M -s Ida M. Fish-
bume. Colleton’s county secretary.
It was brimming full of thought ano
original ideas and was expressed in
the choicest language. Mr. W. C.
Pearce, the international superin
tendent dff the adult classes, spoke of
it in the highest terms, saying to the
audience among other, things: “That
paper alone is worth coming all the
way from Chicago to Rock Hill to
hear.”
Not only were the addresses inspir
ing and helpful, but perhaps what
impressed me most was the whole-
souled, Christian spirit that pervaded
all the sessions of the convention.
Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians,
Episcopalians, Christians, Lutherans,
all mingled in delightful fellowship.
Denominational differences were for
gotten for the time in the contem
plation of bigger gnd grander things
—the whole wide world for Jesus
was the motto No other thought
seemed to enter their minds. The
all absorbing theme was how to
reach those who are not in the Sun
day School, and then how to teach
them. Self was forgotten in the de
sire to reach and help others.' Ser
vice for others was the keynote of
the convention.., ’* J- E- P.

There are. several new advertise

reading. C. D. C. Adams, who is
selling out, ha s page, and Taylor's

Majors. A. Maryin of White Hall
was among the prominent visitors
to Walterboro Friday.
Ruffin, Feb. 26.—On the 8th Inst,.
J. E. W. Morris of near Ruffin, had
the misfortune to lose his dwelling,
kitchen and smoke house by fire.
The fire was discovered about 11
o’clock in the morning and nothing
except a little of the bedding out of
one room was saved. The origin of
the fire is unknown.
As it is impossible for Mr. Morris
to see all of the kind people who
helped him in this trouble, he wants
to thank them through the columns
of this paper for all they did for him
and family.
CARD Of THANKS.
We wish to' extend our sincere
thanks to all those who were so kind
to help us In our sorrow and trouble
in the bereavement of our dear hus
band and father, J. A. Linder,
whom wa laid to rest Friday at one
o’clock. As all know, |he parting
was Wd.
Mrs. J. A. Linder, Sons and Daugh-
Columbia, F'eb. 24,*-Special: For
some eight or twelve years we have
had an opportunity to support a can
didate for Governor of South Caro
lina whose platform was “Prohibi
tion.” Men voted for such men be
cause they wanted prohibition. Time
after time they let alone other good
men, and worked for the candidate
who would abolish the liquor law.
Honorable men have been in the
race, men have made the race who
were well known busisess men all
over the State. Now again are we
to be handieapi>ed or election day
when there is a name on the list that
represents a prohibition Governor?
We have tried this for six years and
more. The General Assembly early
in 1910 says “no State-wide prohi
bition for South Carolina” are we to
vote for the Prohibition Candidate
once more? R. 1. Manning says pro
hibition if you want it others say “I
want prohibition.”
Let.s vote for a man who is will-
in K for prohibition but does not use
it to frame his platform, for it looks
to some of us a* if it is no use to run
a prohibition candidate and lose
our votes when there are others
whom we could be so interested in.
I would like to see a few lines from
J. B. D. By the wray Mr. Editor is
J. B. D. still in the County and is he
a subscriber to The Press and Stand
ard? Havent heard from him in a
long time.
E. E. A.
[Yes, J. B. D. is still in the County,
though his silence does not indicate
this fact' He also gets The Press
and Standard regularly.—Editor.]
BETHEL SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT
The highest ideal of manhood that
the world has 3 et seen now hovers
before the minds of the Christian
nation. But alas! how extremely
small the number of those who ever
approximated a realization of it.
Geniuses may shoot above the com
mon level, but they do not fill out
the ideals of men. The ideal man is
he in whom every endowment of his
being is developed in harmony with
every’ other, and each to the highest
degree of which all are capable.
The one grteat aim of all education
is, of course, to secure the highest
type of men. In strict accord with
a people’s conception of the highest
type will always be its method of ed
ucation; and the nearer its approach
to a realisation of its conceptions the
more exact and philosophical will be
its educational methods. The great
est glory of any nation, country or
time is its great men—men whq are
great not alone by great talents or
by deeds of great daring, but by
great exeeUenoa of character and by
nobleness of purpose and acta. To
multiply for itself such men and
fomeahas been the great aim at
Bethel this scholastic year.
The honor roll for last month con
sists of tits following names with av-
etages:
Miss Lisha Bryan, 94.
Mias Lula Bryan, 98.
Him Essie Bryan, 93.
Mim Yonah Ulmer. 91.
The entertainment will be held in
Bethel M. E. church on the night of
March 4, ^t 7 o’clock. Everybody is
invited to attend. Bp on time.
