THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1928. \ Improved Uniform International \ THE BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL. BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLOf A PAGE By Arthur Brisbane CANADA OUR FRIEND. . ANTI-THIRD TERM. ULTRA, SIMPLE DIVORCE. MUSSOLINI’S—“I WILL’’ Secretary of State Kellogg has been in Canada, well received, and nekrd Canadian statesmen say there is no danger of our country trying to annex Canada. That an- nexation idea is old and foolish. -'The United States is glad to have a good peacemaker and finds it in the people of Canada. Also, Canada is our best cus- .. tbmer, buying here more than the, British mother country buys. For several months in 1927 Canada was the best customer* we had in the world. We he!ped the Canadian North west, as we did all countries, by supplying 4 short cut through the Panama Qmal. * Canada recipro cates by buying of us. When the. St. Lawrence Canal goes through, both nations will be bettci^off. Friendship, co-operation, constructive competition should be the programme. The Senate will pasy some kind of antVthird-term bill, making two terms the law, instead of a tradi tion. It should be two ELECTED terms. A man elected once should have a second tdfrm in mind, matter how good he is, tha£ mal him a better President. Gratitude is a sense of favors to come. Senator Borah advocates only one term, a mistake. 'It takes a President one term to get over the excitement of be ing President and get down to real work. ' . . Two terms by election of the people would be a good . 1 v , Germany proposes a law to make “a simple wish” sufficient ground for divorce. \ It would not be necessary to prove guilt./ Wife or husband can say, “A continuation of my mar ried life has become impossible^ That w : l] end tt. —. , The couple must live apart one year before getting the divorce. When no guilt is proved, there will be tUF-alimonyv The richer of "the two will be expected to help the poorer. That makes our “companionate * marriage quite conservative. Mussolini continues simplifying Italy’s government which in sub stance is the expression of Musso lini’s “I will.” Only one political party is lo exrst. Only those will vote “who contribute to the prog ress of the nation.” 7 The number of deputies will be reduced from 560 to 400. It would be simpler to let Mussolini cast one vote for the whole nation. That is what happens in reality. Lesson (By REV. P. 9. FiTZWATER. D.D., Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.)

But since the persons are diverse and places sep arate, they should be treated sep arately. I. Jalrus’ Daughter Raised from the Dead (vv. 22-24 and 33-42). 1. Jairus’urgent mission (vv. 22,23). His only daughter (Luke 8:42), per haps his only child, lay dying. In this time of utter helplessness he came to Jesus for he had faith In His ability to raise her up. In the provideuce of ’ God, sorrow, sickness and death are often osed to bring needy men and women Into contact with Jesus. He showed the proper attitude toward Jesus, “He fell at His feet” (v. 22). 2. Jesus goes with Jairus (v. 24). Jairus believed that if Jesus would lay His hand upon his daughter sire would live. Such • faith always gets a response from Jesus. 3. News of his daughter’s d&ith (v. 35). The messenger who brought the news of her death suggested that Jesus should be excused from going further, as tt was now too late. 4. Jairus’ faith strengthened (v. 3G). As soon as Jesus^ heard the words spoken concerning death ;qf this' girl, he said to the father, “Be not afraid, only believe.” " 5. The mourners rebuked/ (vv. •37-39). | He now dismissed TbP' crowd and* Allowed only three jpf His disciples and the parents of The damsel to eiK ter this chamber ofTlenth r-ith .Him. 6. Jairus’ faith rewarded (vv. 41-43). i* I ' —Ue- took ibe- damsel by. t be band abd issued tbe command for her to arise. Tbe expression “Talitha curni” in the Aarnmaie seems to be freely expressed, “Wake up, little girl.” She straightway arose and walked and partook of food.. II. The Woman With an Issue of Blood Healed (Cv. 25-34). L Her helpless condition (vv. 25, 26, cf. Luke 8:43). She had been a great sufferer for twelve long years.

That is news. - * —— At Rockville, Conn., a white girl, nineteen years old, descendant of a general on the Southern side in the Civil War, also claiming an cestors on the Mayflower, secures a license to marry a mtllattoT The _ girl’s mother consents because she thinks it is “for the best interest of the couple.” Intelligent men, white and black, will agree that that is decidedly man and the womafti, and all of r both races. , The .poor Heine felt differently about it long ago. Shocked to bear that a white clergyman w r as to be tarred and feathered because h(L allowed bis daughter to marry a negro. Heine exclaimed: “Qi; Freiheit, due boeser Traum!” “O, Freedom, thou ■" : <'ked dream.” n ——■ 4 ^ A young woman, well educated, married to a scoundrel, followed him and, his.fortune/;.and will soon be hanged with him in Canada. She", was with him when he mui> -dered a taxicab ’driver. An effort is made to save her from the gallows and the girl amazes her friends, saying she does not want to be saved. “If he bangs., I want to bang with him.” That should amaze .nobody. It . might be amazing if a man said it: /V woman i* willing to be Inlrned with her children, or hanged .yvith her husband, when she tikes him. It is part of the female disposition. 2. Her faith (vv. 27, 28). She? pPss'essed a real and earnest faith, r For a poor emaciated • woman after twelve years of suffering to press her way thtouglma thronging multi tude shows that^ she possessed a de termined purpose. The test of the ac tuality and quality of ones faith Is the activity which ’ characterizes the life. Her faith was so strong that she believed contact with the Master’s garments would' secure the needed help. Though her faith was strong, it was imperfect. She only knew Him as a wonder worker, but through this experience she came to know Him as a compassionate Savior. 3. Her healing (vv. 20-32). As soon as she touched the hem of His garment she experienced in her body H Is healing power. Jesus Hhtt self was conscious of the outgoing of virtue, therefore inquired, “Who touched me ” to which, the disciples, replied with amazement^ “Thou seest the multitude thronging thee and say ear rhon, “Who touched me?” 4. Her confe?sion/(v. 3.1; ef. Luke. 8:47). She thought secretly to get the blessing of healing, hut Jesus per ceived that virtue had gone out from Him and had her make a public con fession. 5. Jesus’ words of encouragement (v. 34). With the communication of Hi* healing, virtue, He spoke most gra cious and comforting words to this poor woman, teUing her tluit it was her faith, not her touch that had saved her. Faith does not need to face dan gers and to exhaust itself in active endeavor in order to gain Christ’s blessipg. All thqt Is required Is a trusilllg prayer. N<^t only did she gain the blessing, but had the distinc tion, of being the only woman on rec ord as having been addressed by Jesus aS “daughler,’ , which shows His spirit of tenderness fb th<^ who come to Him with their ueecl?. Washington, Feb. 20. letter to. Attorney General John M. Daniel which followed one sent a few days ago in which the National Fer tilizer association offered to cooperate wholeheartedly in making the investi gation of fertilizer prices in South Carolint, Charles J. Brand, executive secretary of the association, declared that the companies are not attempt ing “to gain back in one year the.. : © enormous losses of last year” as has been charged. “Last year’s losses, which we esti mate at $21500,000 in South Carolina, have been largely absorbed by stock holders of these companies, some of which are banks which have had prac tically to go in to th^ fertilizer busi ness to protect their previous ad vances,” Mr. Brand declared. “The companies realize that it is impossir bie to regain their losses in any one year; many will be fortunate to re coup in ten years. Most of the loss is gone forever. The price this year does NOT include a single penny of reclamation of last years serious losses. ' . “The companies are placed in an un fair position when their prices for this year are compared with last year’s prices,, because last year’s prices lacked from $3 to $5 a ton from covering* the- manufacturer’s costs of production. “A more proper comparison is this year’s price lists \vith those issued * about the same time a year. ago. The announced prices for both years are practically the same. Therefore, the industry is not charging any more than a normal price this season. In fact it^s sub-normal, considering pres ent cost of raw materials.” Says Congress Should Help Farmers. In his letter, Mr. Brand, who draft- ed the original McNary-Haugen Sur plus Control bill w*hich has received general approval of farm 'organiza tions, including the cotton coopera tives, pointed to a fundamental situa tion pertaining to agriculture in gen eral which he said needs to be reme- diejd. “The preseilt dissatisfaction with fertilizer prices,” he said, “is an un fortunate, but nevertheless usual, af termath of dumping distressed *sur-" plus cotton on the market which from time to time plunges the price ~ of cotton below its intrinsic value to the world. ~ “We all remember the disastrous prices which prevailed in the fall of 1926 when w-e made an 18-million bale crop which sold at 8 to 12 cents. This meager price so impoverished .the farmer that he could not buy his regular quantity of fertilizer or other supplies last year. This resulted in nearly a fifth less fertilizer being in 1926. • 7 “With this smaller demand for fer tilizer, the companies were forced to abandon their announced quotations and scramble for business at much reduted prices, as many of them thought, in order to liquidate their inventories. r “Then, last fall, owing to a- In a second |jj on cro p f the farmer got 18 to 21 cents for the bulk of his cotton, anjd thus today he is in a much better position financially. But it is a great pity that the 18-million bale crop of 1926 brought the South $330,000,000 less than the 13-mHlion bale crop of 1927. Despite the fact that the south ern farmers in 1926 produced the biggest cotton crop in history, they suffered a general loss,*which was re flected to all businesses connected with farming. When this fundamental sit uation is met by -Congress, which I sincerely hope will be done during its present session, the State of South Carolina, the South and the Nation will be immensely benefitted.” . > • /* A PHiful Performance. it ♦1195 foracar you're entitled to In looking through an exchange the other day, a strong editorial was found boosting the home “merchant” to the skies and warning all and sun dry to “trade at home.” Curfosity prompted us to look through the ad vertising columns of the paper which was well printed, newsy and alb gether creditable but not one of the much boosted “merchants of the home town’’ carried a line cf advertising.
