AM Till SU IIITTKK OT OF KKK J our friend*, lieu ron or Inc Spartan-' burg Herald und Hooker of the Green ville I'ivdiuont, have been very face tious in their remarks concerning this paper'a view? on 111 ? - county to county < a m (ta mn They favor doing away1 with Ute campaign meetings. We recoKiiIze them u.-< necessary, an evil lp lu- eu du red in the heul grace possi ble. Wliai i . nu dy yo they offer? None. Thi; two poper? above referred io in commenting upon our view?, iiuole only one concttiKioii without showing Hie argument that we advanced, all loo hurriedly written, we admit. Hut we return to our conclusion after ev ery way o? looking at Iii?? matter. The it We hcliuv'c that it is a nuisance, candidates neem to want (lie cam paign, and Hie people seem to want hut what eau lie done about il? Once stop till-so meetings and then: will lie a terrille howl about "lin; sup pression of free speech" and all sorts of hunk. Once call off thes,. meet ings and hear the howl that every thing is being none in the inn-rests of the rich. Among the candidates tor governor, for 'iistancc, -Mr. Mclaurin is a very wealthy mau; Mr. Manning is another; Mendel Smith and C. A. Smith arc "well fixed" in this world's affairs. Kaili of them could conduct his own campaign at the expenditure of a lot of money, while men not so Qffluei tumid sutler, and among these ure Lowndes Drowning, Willie Irby. John Ci. Richards, Carroll Sims and a few others. They can't afford to enter the race for governor against such a handicap, unless they should nappen hy some chance or other to represent some great cause. No, the county-to-county campaign Itinerary is a nuisance, as wc have said before. It is really degrading and dangerous i:: thorne. c#i ito features, but would it be any worse than any other plan? No. As a m?W of fact If this were abolished, candidates could resort more than ever to "gum shoe".methods and we would pjuv'c many such disgraceful things as the congressional election in Charleston to select a successor to Geo. S. Legare. In the name of oratory there has not bean since the founding of the world anything quite as punk as some of the speeches banded out in state campaign;? in South Carolina. ' hut 'what ?ro you going to do about it? Tliat's the question. Make no changes unless, lt is abso lutely certain that such changes'are for the good of the people.. Make no more machinery for machine politi cians. Give 'em all the rope .they want, and the demagogues and thc sel fish politicians will sponer or later Bhow themselves to the people. We stand to our original proposi tion, however, tliut when the candidate files his pledge, bc Is entitled to the respect, consideration and protctiou of thc state executive committee and campaign meetings should bc. pro tected from personalities and mud slinging. Let campaigns bc conduct led for the discussion of better tilings. SONS OF A FATHER If there ls one characteristic more than nnother that has marked the con duct o? the Orangeburg Times-Demo crat under the guiding hand of its vet eran editor. Jas. L. Sims, that charac teristic has been moral tone. Not one issue lins ?Ver gone out from un der his hand that lias not carried some appeal for the uplift of thc people of the ?tate. He bas retired from the wor kin which he has done so much good and in which he has been so suc cessful. ? Mr. Sims recently received the ap pointment as United States marshal for this state. This is a distinction which he well deserves, although aa we have said before, we would have liked to have seen some of the federal patronage distributed in this section of thc state. Hut If any man south ot Columbia iiad to get this appoint ment, would ptef?*r Mr. Sims. His character and honesty and devotion to principle arc unquestioned. Mr. Sims was elected . presi dential elector by the state democratic convention last year, and was a loyal and enthusiastic Woodrow Wilson man. Mr. Sims' excellent paper will bo in good hands. Hts chic-1 son. Jas. Ular Sims, who hu? ?hared with his father in the management of thc pa per, will hereafter be the business manager and the two twin boys, Hugo and Hepry will be the editors. -/These two boys went through Wolf ord col lege, taking many If not all the hon ors, and medals and they aro well equipped for the editor!*? desfc.1 cape* dally with the example ?nd the coun sel of their father to encourage them, We would counsel these brilliant young men to use moderation In their work and to be not over-sealous.

ANDERSON MAN TAKES THE "DIVINE HEALING" WENT TO ATLANTA FOR THE TREATMENT BELIEVES IN CURE Suffering From Tuberculosis, Charlie Bowie Had "Hands Laid On" In Atlanta Prom Atlanta cornea thc news that all Atlanta bas been stirred during the past week on account of thc mar velous feats performed by Mrs. M. B. j Worthington-Btter, "th"e divine lieal ? er." Sucli an impression has been I made that people have gone to Atlan ta from ali parts of the country during the past week; among' these being j Charlie Howie, a young Anderson man. Mr. Howie returned to the city Sun day after having "hands laid on" him by the divine healer. eHfs faith in the cure is strong: nilt is- sald that Mr. How ie who is i suffering with tubercu losis was treated in, the following mnnners: ? . " . The singing grew louder as the young man seated himself in the chair. "Where the hcallD?$ \ ;\y?t?rs flow" shouted the singera^''Wjtere.the heal ing waters flo>f^|?iiU . The 'young man iii tho chair leaned back With his hands raised while Mrs. Ettcr laid seemingly violent hands on bia shoulder, lita throat, his face. She called oo bo him to>r3e.U?ve_ in the Lord to have faith. She rb?be'd his chest. Pretty sooh the yoting man arose, waving hts arms. The singing stop ped as he stumbeld off the platform with tears of joy atreaminp from his eyes. A womuc-advanced half-run ning down td the aisle to meet him. She was crying in long sobs. At the first row of benches, the young man leaped to the top of them and fell into J ncr arms. They sobbed and wept crying, "Thanks t? Jeana. Glory to God." Afterward- a reporter asked Bowie if he was really healed. He said (hat when Mrs. Etter was tresting bim ho could feel a shiver pass through bis lungs, that ho believed he was healed, but time alone would show. The following is the Impression made upon a newspaper reporter by teb "divine healer's" actions and tre mannci in which the meeting was con ducted "Up anddown the .rostrums*' ducted : "Up and down tho rostrum strides a little woman all ni white, white hair while dress, a white knR shawl over ber shoulders "Praise the Lord. sisters" she shouts, vBelieve In Him and be heal ed" She ls Mrs. M. B. Worthlngton Etfer, "divine healer." "From the knclinge people all around came shouts and amens. But meit of them moan in a weird swell ing sound like some Arabian desert sang that rises and falls and swells again. "A woman kneeling In the center of the rostrum begins to sway back and forth and about The others cease all but the low crooning noise, while she cries aloud on the name of Jesus. Gradually she works herself Into a frenr.y of prayer her body rocking to and fro to the accompaniment of the maning all around,, her hands raised to henven, her face streaked with tears. "She breaks off with a loud sob and there ls momentary quiet. Mrs. Etter walks to the front and tells all who are In need to come forward. "Tlie men and women crowd around the plntform and kneel.. A window ls raised on a back room. Here a wan faced woman Hes listless in hedi The lame,, the bait, the blind, struggle to ward the platform. The. healing ia about to begin. "On one side of th*.platform a num ber of converts gather around a plano and begin? to sing. On the other ? mother advances leading a little girl by tho hand. The girl is totally blind. She sits down In a. chair. Below the rostrum a. woman holds a bbay In bei arms, Ahe child's mouth covered with sores, a deaf mute, a crippled boy. os crutches, crowd together around thc woman of white. : "While the singing ?riC?eased In fer vor on one side. ?rs.

One could hardly hear what she said for the storm of singning, the clapping of hands, the stamping of feet on. the rostrum, the moans and prnyera. "Thc old lady said both drums had been desrtoyed. "Praise tho Lord." yelled Mrs. Etter in one car. "Prpisc Hhn!" she yelled in the other rubbing fiercely with her hands. "The smile on the" old lady's face was very wistful and she .looked up with a pitiful light in her brown eyes. Mrs. Etter and her man assistant worked like Trojans, shouting and rubbing with their hands. "The old'lady clapped her hands af ter a while and rose, a puzzled expres sion on her face. She could hear, she teid Mrs. Etter, but couldn't distin guish the sounds. But she could hear the shouts and the music." o o o ooo o o o o o o o o o SUNDAY srZZLKUS o o o o o o o o o o booo o (From the sayings of Hilly Sunday, the . Evangelist.) The lord will say on the day of judgment to the hypocrites, '*Stand over on the left, there, the elevator will be golnd down in a very few min utes." God will damn In the hottest way any merchant that will make his clerks lie to Bell a few dirty goods from his shelves In order to put'the money m the till. He will damn you, whoever you are." All your wealth cannot give yon as surance of life. What you want ls. future hope, not present possessions. Away with the Idea that you have to serve the devil to have a good time. Think what you get when you give np the devil. You got happiness and heaven Instead of hell. If, you are behind the hypocrite, you are the smallest specimen of human ity 1 have ever seen. I can as soon think* of a revival in hell as one in the UnlveTtity of i Chi cago. I'd rather walk to. beaven ovnr a atOny road with bleeding feet than to ride to hell with dirty money in my pockets. Many a map ils a drunkard because he didn't have grit enough to say "No" the first.time ho waa offered a drink. Some of you people don't.believe in the devil. You aro big fools. The most respectable stoner has the biggest drag .with the devil. I'd rather undertake to save ton drunkards than one old financial Shy lock- It would be easier.
