Louisiana ia the only Southern ( state, we believe, that has not at some time or other, had a moratory act which was not thrown out by the courts. Decisions against u stay law , have been rendered in Florid?, Geor gia, Misslppl. Missouri, North Ca roll na. South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas i and Virginia. Suppose this strte should have SUCH , a law; suppose tb? courts should ad mit that ii ls constitu? Ional. Then we would have one lone stat?' i with such a law.

Just the same as lt has been with re gard to' other political contesta this' year. The paper has not been actively' at work for any one and our columns have benn open alike to all the can didates . But now that the campaign is drawing to a close we feel that the naper would bs recreant to lu duty if it did not express the opinion that Mr. Aiken should not be left at home. Wu say this with due recognition of the ability of hiv opponent. Mr. Dom inick, who has made a gsme fight and will be heard from again. Mr. Aiken has made an efficient congressman; there can be no. ques tion as to thut.

The reasou why the South ls now et the mercy of conditions ls be cause landowners stipulate that rents must be paid in cotton. In lieu of cash. , The present crisis ls not fer hasty, ill timed or undigested legislation. What the country needs ls something to stahalrse thc credit of the South, not to place lt in Jeopardy. Tho merchants, thc bunkers, the landowners, who hold mortages or notes surely will not be grasping at this time. They will be lenient. No honest man will suffer, and no honest man will repudiate his debts. A stay law is not needed. There ls, thank God, a "stay law" written in the hearts of our men of South Carolina who have been carry ing the burden of building up the Btate, and that moratorium is: "Love Thy Neighbor." The people of South Carolina will be brothers In this cri sis and every true man will he true to his neighbor. . btmks bjrlilmBeif -and hts nrcdeceasora. j While that was nothing but right, j and common!yittriesty.i'yct^h?w few *i ty.1 I * T jr i others would do that when advised and urged by ?boin; lawyer*, to d<* othfer w,BO?^5?7f mri o i ??j.

Thero is no doubt ot the fact that Mr. Aiken stands well at the White House and with the members of the cabinet. All of them know bim and respect him ror his honesty and ability, and for the dependence that they know caa be put In him. They know him ann he knows theta and ?hey can work together in harmony. A new congressman would have' to bo broken io, at best, and there would be risk to rna that he might not be ebie to work in harmony with the Pr?sident-that through lack of har mony, he would be a source of woe ness and embarrassment to the ad ministration, rather thsn s source ot strength and eonrage, which will be so badly needed.

I wish to tell cf the great meetings J have been in at White Plains and Bea ver dam, in Anderson county, at my old home churches. I left home August 11th, went by private conveyance, reaching White Plains the same day, espectlng meet-] lug at night, but the church had ar ranged for two services each day. So ? tho next day we found the church, with the pastor, Rev. Henry Martin, in the great work for our Master. Prayer service at 10 o'clock, preach ing at ll and 4:80 o'clock and a great band of willing workers ready to lead in prayer and to bear testimony to the love and goodness of God and to help ic any way for the advancement : ot the cause of Christ i am much pleased with Pastor Martin, being so earnest-in creaching the cospel and so friendly, with all he meets. It makes any and all:f4?l wel .corop and nt home -0mupr?5?3- Sc we bad a great meeting from, start to finish, with L'S added to. tjij? church 24 for baptism, the ordlpnnfce of bap tism being on Sunday morning, the 24th.

MW/tjb' pjoaall boys that had just Joined, ready to stand up and boar testimony for Jesus who had ? saved them. It was great to be tn auch a great revival and also to meet with old friendo some we had not aeen in years, ..:ri.d'to'near them talk and pray was more j,y than tongue can tell. Then from White Plains to Beaver dam for service at night on the ICth. Found a large congregation, with the pastor, Rev. Burriss, and he is a fine preacher, too. And so friendly. It makes any one feel at home and free to take part In the service with him. So I continued in service here until Wednesday night. 1 enjoyed it very much, but only two had joined up to this time. 1 am so glad God has bless ed rae to be In those old home churches and the glorious meetings once more In life, and to meet those with whom we had worshipped in days gone by. While many has been called away, it makes me stop and think as to how soon tbe call will bc for me. Jost be ready and all will be well. Well. I want to tell something about the homes I was in. I visited 48 different homes and was awt y only eleven days. 1 found prosperity in most all homes. While all of them'are not Christians, they should be, for God ls so good to all. We all ought to' b saved, so d6 your bfcst. ' " ' To See the grest crops nf corn and cotton, ft ls wonderful lo behold. While dome sections aro dry and thc crops "cut short, yet they have been eaey worked'. Other sections the crops are tine arid we should all be bo thankful for, this, especially after a dry year.
