C. i The third quarter of lessons introduces us to some early leaders of the Old Testament period. The first of these is Joshua. He is not, obviously, one of the supreme figures in the Bible gallery of portraits. Nevertheless he • is a great soul who look a leading part in the stirring events ‘ of a critical period. He was one of the two older men who were permitted lo enter the promised land. He was afraid neither of the giants in Canaan, nor of the fickle-hearted folk in the ranks of the children of God who yearned after ! the flesh pots of Egypt. In these days of fear and distress, people sometimes cry, “Oh for a Moses to lead us through the wilderness.’’ 1 But what we need most of all is a Joshua to lead us out of > the wilderness. t Now note that Joshua always obeyed the divine com mand. He was never guilty, like Moses, of disobedience. ! Dr. Matheson calls Joshua a prosaic man, that is, a subord inate who carried out the instructions of his chief. God did the planning, and Joshua, a willing tool, fulfilled the divine decisions. “Arise, go over this Jordan,” said the Lord, and Joshua and the people at once crossed the famous river into the fair land of their dreams. “See, I have given in to thine hand Jericho,” again cried the Lord, and this Can- < aanite stronghold soon fell, after a short seige. In both cases h is God who does the real work. He it was who separated the Jordan waters so that the people passed over on dry ground. And it was He who caused the wall of Jericho to fall down flat. Joshua was simply the obedient agent of his God. And later, at Gideon, when Joshua faced the test of a crucial battle, it is the Lord who determined the victory, first by sending a disastrous hail storm, and then by halting the sun and moon. “The Lord fought for Israel,” as the narrative says. So Joshua, an obedient servant, with the • strength and courage proclaimed by our Golden Text, [ fought under God. ! j Ly Rev. CLarles E. tJtsf&f*, * JOHUA Lesson for July 2nd. Joshua 1:1-9.

N. Brown, plaintiff, vs. Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey and S. L. Gilreath of Greenwood, de fendants, in v/hich the plaintiff asked $20,000 damages on slander charge.

June 13, 1933.—3t. , . cause the farmer getting a loan will be able to offer cash for settle ment of debts which he might not otherwise be able to pay. Commissioner’s loans are being made to reduce and refinance far mers’ debts on a longer term basis, to supply working capital and to re finance foreclosed farms. The col lateral accepted is first or second mortgages upon all or any part of the farm property, real or personal, including crops. Of course, before the commissioner makes a second mortgage loan he will ask the hold er of the first mortgage to waive foreclosure rights in accordance vith the commissioner’s regula tions. Leans are limited to a maximum of $5,000 each. These loans plus all prior mortgages or other evidences of indebtedness secured by the farm property may not exceed 75 pe? cent of the appraised value thereof. During the first three years the loans are in effect, borrowers will not be required to make payments on the principal if they are not otherwise in default with respect to the conditions or covenants of their mortgages. The loan must be re paid in such annual or semi-annual installments as will discharge the debt within the agreed period. The commissioner’s agent also points out that these are collater alized and not personal loans and that the financial condition of the applicant as well as his history must be considered, including, of course, the ability of the farmer to repay his loan. The properties are appraised by the Federal Land Bank appraiser and he uses the same general values in arriving at the value of the property to be of fered as collateral. The principal Jifterence between the Federal Land loan and the Commissioner’s loan is that the land bank loan is made only on the farm property and can not exceed 50 per cent of the normal, appraised value of the, land plus 20 per cent of the insur ed, permanent improvements whereas the Commissioner’s Agent may lend up to 75 per cent of the normal value and accept second mortgages and personal property as security. The agent points out that for the convenience of the public the sec retary-treasurer of the local na tional farm loan association has been appointed as correspondent and that farmers should find it convenient and satifactory to make their applications to this corres pondent rather than apply directly to the agent stationed in the Fed eral Land Bank. during a lull in the activities of the Department Convention of the Am erican Legion. Unusual interest attaches to tho reunion this year since announce ment by Captain J. Roy Pennell, President of the Chapter, that Col onel William Kelly, who helped or ganize and mobilize the 117th Regi ment of Engineers, one unit of the division, is to attend the annual ?neeting. Colonel Kelly, a graduate of West Point, commanded the regiment for a while in the United States, and led the men of the outfit to France in October, 1918. After he was assigned to the general staff near the end of the war, he was suc ceeded by Colonel J. Monroe John son, of Marion. Men of the Carolinas who served under Colonel Kelly have a warm place in their hearts for him, and as this is the first opportunity they have had since the war to meet with their former command ing officer, a record attendance is forecast for the meeting here. Colonel Kelly is now Vice-Presi dent of the Niagara Hudson Power Corporation, with offices in Buffa lo, New York. Headquarters for the Rainbow Veterans will be established at the Cleveland Hotel, in Spartanburg, Sunday, July 2nd in charge of Sam R. Bagwell, former sergeant of Company “C”, of the Engineer Reg iment which was recruited from this vicinity.

COLUMBIA, June 22.—In com plying with a request from Julian H. Scarborough for an official op inion on the legality of notes au thorized at the 1933 session of the state legislature for the settlement of certain school obligations, John M. Daniel, state attorney general, ruled that the notes issued under the act to pay school teachers and bus operators “are legal and bind ing obligations of the state of South Carolina and for the pay ment of the same the full faith, credit and taxing power of the state is irrevocably pledged.” The opinion in full follows: “Complying with your request for an official opinion as to the legali ty of certain notes authorized for certain school obligations, under and by authority of an act entitled: “ ‘An act to provide a schedule of state aid for public schools; to buy and impose additional income taxes and licenses; to levy and im pose a license tax upon wholesale and retail dealers in malt and vin ous beverages; to provide for the issuance of notes for certain school obligations; and to prescribe pen alties for violation of the terms of this act.’ “Enacted by the 1933 session of the general assembly: I beg to ad vise that it is the opinion of thh office that the said notes issued un der the authority of said act to pa: the amount due school teachers and operators of school buses, are legal and binding obligations of the state of South Carolina and for the payment of the same the full faith, credit and taxing power of the state is irrevocably pledged.” Under authority of the act re ferred to approximately $3,500,000 in notes were issued and distributed among the counties on the same basis as were made under the 6-0-1 Jaw.

X MUZZLBT THET DOG Spartanburg Journal'. With the heated season coming on in its intensity; this is the time of year when the free running of unmuzzled dogs is a subject fraught with tragic possibilitifes. Whatever local ordinances or regulations, if any, .owners of dogs should not wait for officers to see to enforcement. They should have consideratioii enough for the public and members of their ' own families as well to muzzle the pet canine if they in sist on letting it run free or at will. A dog doesn’t have ttr have the- rabies to make his bite or the con tact of his sharp tooth against your skin productive of serious painful sore and infection which the in- ense heat aggravates and accentu ates to the fullest. A muzzle will eliminate possibilitifes of accident, danger or injury: And too in hot weather dogs should be provided with free, easy access to drinking water at all times. — x THE HOG SURPLUS Unlike the excesses of some oth er commodities, the excess of hogs in the home market has not been piling up in warehouses. Rather, t is actually being consumed. Pork a relatively perishable product, md is moved through to the con- mmer as rapdily as possible for vhatever price it will bring. Some parts of the carcass may be cured and placed in storage, but there has not been the normal accumulation of new stocks for some time because packers have feared a loss in sucli operations. Storage stocks of pork on May r, 1933, were 21 per cent smaller than those of a year eralier, according to- the U. S. Department of Agricul ture. Lard stocks were 35 per cent smaller and the smallest on record- for that date. The total re duction of pork and lard stocks r "m those of a year earlier was "uivalent to about 1,300,000 head r market-weight hogs. This large c-antity has been shoved on the : .arket. ; In one of New.
