The Greenwood Journal ls wrought up ovtor the fact that it is said that Columbia is against Governor Man ning. Our neighbor should remem ber the saying "No criminal ever felt tho halter draw With good opinion of the law." Colombia, along with other cities accustomed to doing as they please ls feeling the "halter draw" Just now In Governor Manning's strict enforce ment ot tho law. Doubtless there arr many in Charleston who arc Indulging in bittor invective against Govcrnot Manning, Just aa there are many in other cities' who feel tho same way about it. %vr The editorial comment of thc Greenwood Journal follows: News has reacher Greenwood that all Columbia is against Governor Manning. No oouot thia ls in part true, and it is a compliment to him rather than to his discredit. We ex pect that the blind igers and the lawless element of Columbia as well -aa the officers who do not care to do their duty are against him. All thc people who want a wide open town along with the gamblers nnd cut throats are nut at all admirers of a man like Manning. But there arc any number ot people in Columbia who are standing right by him. and rejoicing that the day lias arrived when South Carolina is so fortunate as to have a governor who is not 'satisfied with tho mere promise of enforcing the law, but who tells the mayor and pollce force in Columbia "What I want and what J must have ia the enforcement of the law, and when one department falls to do thu T Bhall call on another. Gentlemen the laws mrfst be enforced. I shall not be satisfied with mere statements that they ?re enforced when I know that there ts vlolaion of tho laws." Wo should not be surprised to hear that Charleston was against the governor also. No doubt the mayor of that city who wanta a govern ment all unto himself does not ad mire a roan of Mr. Manning's candor and honesty of purposes. But thora aro people In Charleston as in Co lumbia who do admire him. Anr* we have some people, oven in Greenwood, who aro not in love with a man tike Manning. They could not bo expected to be. How can the lawless like the man who wants to make them behave themselves? It ts a, compliment to Mr. Manning, and as for that to any other man, to have people dlsliko him. We ourself glory in tho standing that we have with some people. It makos us rejoice that wc are worthy of such consideration at their hands. WATCHFUL OE ANDERSON. Editor Qreeno, of tho Abbeville Presa and Banner. lg making a very readable paper these days, and lt ls filled with live news matters snd orlgini 1 comment, unusually free from legal phraseology to bo written by one "learned in the law." He flllf his paper every Issue with somit bright comments showing that he li enjoying the work ho has voluntarily tak'.in upon himself. Ho also ls watch ful of Anderson, and never allows an opportunity for commenting '-MI thlt city to escape. In the last Issue tx has the following: A gentleman from Anderson was In the city a few days ago admiring our beautiful yards, and out * fine homes. He states, however, that we are somewhat behind tu tba matter of streets and sidewalks. uP believes th-kt a man who has a barley patch for his cow ia the front yard, eren it he droe* milk ber in the beek yard, must have beer, raised In the country. He also says that a gentleman who will ?ot give ni? neighbor? a side-walk ttrovid be forced to double lila aub' -"-rlptlon to the pastor's salary. An? rson does /not sprinkle .IL* streets Ith sand;. ' KXPKFSHKS IlLGIMV. The Intelligencer lt? In receipt of a letter from Chairman A. C. Patcheld er, th** American Automobile Associa tion, commenting on thc recent elec tion for road bonds lu thia county. Ile says: "Sony that the good roads bond is sue got snowed U!)d?'r so badly. How ever, it is always that way in the be ginning, though it is hard to explain why people will not help themselves In order to obtain it greater help from uni.t lier source. Of course, sooner or later South Carolina will have n State law whore hy the State itself will cooperate with the counties in the handling of the main market roads." This association ls very active In promoting good roads campaigns, and is always anxious to spread the good roads propaganda. In this connection lt will be remctn bered that Mr. Albert S. Farmer is a" director In this association which ls tuition wide In Its scope He ls also one of lin' most enthusiastic of good road's enthusiasts. THE V. >L <. A. Tlx- Anderson Y. M. C. A. ha/ been forced to close. The Green ville v. M. <'. A. ls not beyond the possibility of such an unfortunate necessity. Are the business men willing for our institution tu close its doors? Are we so careless of the values of the Y. M. C. A. as to deny lt the support which lt needs? This city would be acting in an extremely unwise manner If lt failed to accord the Y. M. <'. A. the assistance need ed. The campaign is now on The test Is at hand, and before many more days we sh'.ll know Whether or not our citizens are willing to 6ee one of tho best Institutions closed for the time being. What is our answer to the situation? Shall wP be negligent, or shall wc be loyal to a cause the worthiness of which is unquestioned? -Greenville Newj. NOME TM; KIM SMS. The following comments from The Tiger published by the corpB of cadets M Clemson College will be of intercisi and appreciated: Our dally song: "Anderson, My An derson." Everybody, all together, "Anderson ls my town." Whcr0 is the follow who snhl "I don't want to go?" Echo answers, "where?" We shall cease prablng Anderson perhaps-when we die. Why did many cadets arlBe carly in the morning after their return from encampment and get a return tlckot? An easy guess, stranger, if you had been there. We came, we saw, we were con quered. The cleanest and the most gracious city We ever did strike, ls what the corps of cadets have to say about An derson. We wisbj to exprc;B our sincere ap preciation to the newspapers of An derson for the manner in which they devoted a largo amount ot valuable ?pace to our interests. They reflec ted the unparalled hospitality of their citizens ba each day's newsy issue "The Anderson Dally Intelligencer' was kind enough to visit us in our tents each morning after reveille. Several copies were placed In ouch tent every ' morning In some myster lous manner, ut tho request of their generous editor who had our inter ests very much at heart. Tho entire corps took especial delight in gather ing round the camp fires and reading each morning's issue. Tho chamber of commerce of An derson subscribed ?orno 1400.000 for our encampment expenses. A pro gressive bunch of citizens they arc. This illustration serves to show the goodness of the Anderson people-the women especially-more than we could describe In any amount of words. A cadet walking out to camp, was hailed by a lady who asked whore he was going. He replied: "I am going out to camp for dinner." She took him in thc car and then asked him to take dinner at her home. And, of course, ho did. Not only did the live dally news papers of Anderson devote consider able space to our interests during the encampment, but tuey seemed to take pleasure tn circulating the good re porto of our conduct to newspapers throughout the whole State. Eve;; the chief of police of Ander son waa loud in his praise of our con duct during tho encampment. "Tho Tiger" has not come forth lawn his den during the past two weeks because-the first week he was fully occupied in standing off his arch-on erny, exams; and th? second week he was gone on a Journey into a veritable "land flowing with milk and honey." The editor of the Anderson Intelli gencer probably did not know how near the truth he waa striking, when he stated In aa editorial betote we went over to Anderson that some of the boys might and Anderson a very dMlrablejpisce tojocate tn after ige.

HOB for April ll, UM."., Dy Dr. Watson li. Duncan. Scripture Lesson- Samuel 16:4-13. Golden text-1 Stfmuel 16:7. Lesson? From the Lesson. Some places are made famous Ly the characters they produce. The scenes of our present lesson were en acted at Bethlehem, the home of Jesse thc father of David. Jesse's family belonged to the tribe of Judah and were direct descendents of Boaz and Ruth. Many precious and pathetic memories arc connected with Bethle hem. Here was the scene of Jacob's great sorrow, the death of his belov ed Rachel, whose grave is still mark ed by a little white-domed mosque on the Old Jerusalem Road. To this vi lage Ruth came from far off Moab's Mountains and here she blenmed in the fields of Doaz, not only gather ing sheaves, but winning her way to the heart of her kinsman who after ward became her husband. David was the great-grandson of Ruth and it was his name, that made Bethlehem famous. A greater one than David, however, was born here. "O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee ile! Above thy deep and dreamless Bicep Tho silent atara go by; Yet In thy dark streets shineth The everlasting light; The hopes and fears of all thc yearB Are met In thee tonight." Obedience is tho test of high and holy character. "And Samuel did that which thc Lord spake." Samuel had been rejected because of his disobedi ence. Por a time even after his re jection, he was permitted to act In the capacity of king and God bad already selected another and commanded Samuel to anoint the Divinely select ed successor of Saul. This was not a pleasant task that God assigned to Samuel. To discharge it meant the incurring of the hostility of Saul. To obey God's commands is not always pleasant or popular, but it ls tho only safe course. Obedience had been the guiding star of Samuel's life; it was too late to deviate i.?\>m lt now. "I'll go where you want me to go, dear Lord, Over mountain, or plain, or sea; I'll say what you want me to say, dear Lord, I'll be what you want me to be." Heart power ls the Divine measure ment of manhood. Tho Lord looketh on the heart." Even the prophet was ready to accept Eliab, with striking countenance and stately stature, as the Lord's anontcd; but he measured by the wrong standard. Great spiri tual and moral tasks must be commit ted to iden of great heart-power. Greece measured the head, and Romo measured the body; but God measures the heart. Jn purity Mt* the secret of power. "My strength ls as tho strength of ten, . Because my heart is pure." It ls the heart that makes possible tho great spiritual visions. ''Blessed are the pure In heart for they shall seo God." Evil clouds the vision, but purity clarifies it. To Sir Galahad, tho spotless Knight ot King Arthur's Round Table, alone wps given the vision ot the Holy Grail. The Divine calls usually come to Ute busy man. "Behold, ho keepeth the sheep." Gid eon's call to deliver Israel came while he threshed wheat. It was while the shepherds watched their flocks by night, all seated o. the ground, that thc angel ot the Lord carno down and glory shone around. The first disciples were called from their nets and boats to follow thc Christ and become fishers of men. Matthew waa at the receipt of custom when discovered by the Christ and called to greeter service. Our own capacities and aptitudes must bo supplemented by the endue in ont of the Spirit nf God. "And the ftpfrlt of the Lord came upon David from Out day." Standin? on tho banks of the Jordan and under the Mun heaven, tho Master experienced til? Baptism of Power by the descent of the Spirit: He said to Ute Dire!* plea, "Ye shall recelvo power, the Hoi.- Spirit coming upon you, and ye shall he my V:,r,sa8es, both in Jeru salem, In Judea, and In Samaria, and unto the uttermost part* ot the earth." It ts thu enduoment H at qualifies for the largest service tn all departments of life.; With it, we succeed; with out lt. we fall.-Southern -Christan Advocate. Mes ? Feet Like 1a.

H' MISSIONARY WORK IN FRANCE The Council baa maintained two deaconesses in the Houma Mission this year. Houma is the center of the richest country of the United States the "Sugar Bowl ot America," it is called. Only four hundred square miles of this land ls under cultiva tion, while one hundred and forty nine thousand people get their .tving there. It is, perhaps, the most dense ly settled rural section within the United States. In all the Protestant Churches combined there are not more than one hundred thousand white Protestants, leaving ninety nine thousand people as much un evangelised aa any other section con trolled by Romanism. The mission &t Houma was opened clx years ago, when Rev, C. V. Brelt haupt and bia wife were sent there by the Louisana Conference. One con gregation had been organized at La Fourche Parish, with some fifty ad herents or probationers, a short time before he went there. Now there are nine congregations or communities, to which this pastor, two deaconesses, one assistant French pastor, one lo cal, preacher, and five exhortera min uter. These French - workers have been converted and gotten to work In thtje six years. Miss Iles, our first deaconess there* has had charge of the country work this year, while Miss Kate Walker has worked i?. the town of Houma. There are r ighty miles of ibis rich, densely populated section along Ter rebonne Bayou, where one never-gets beyond the eight ot houses or people, lt Is eighty miles ot "front yards," as these French people hive bought small acreages fer truck gardening or sugar cane patches. The nun ea are small cottages, built much Uko each other. A message can be sent from one house to ano*' .?*r the*s full eighty miles. Outgoing Millenaries, Misa Blanche Howell.
