Johnston was greeted by many of
his old friends in Washington, es
pecially in official circles. It also be
came known here today that John
ston has a standing offer to become
an assistant to the attorney general
but has repeatedly declined it rather
than to be forced to move to Wash
ington. Asked today if he would be
a candidate for governoor two years
hence, Johnston replied: “I may be
candidate for governor. Of course,
that is two years off, but many people
are urging me to run and I may do
so. I feel that I could easily win.
There are many things I would like
to do as governor to develop further
our great commonwealth, and things
which the people need. But I shall
not enter any other contest. As to
Congress, Mr. Bryson seems to be
doing a very fine job. and is a natur
al legislator. He showed his apti
tude in this line of work as a mem
ber of the legislature and his exper
ience there serves him in good stead
in the Congress.”

Fruit Cake
Altho fruit cake may be mostly for
Christmastime, I like it any time. So
I really was delighted, when, while
visiting Mrs. Ben Epting, she served
some that she had made. During the
Christmas season she made seven
fruit cakes, three dark and four
white.
“Believe it or not,” Mrs. Epting
told me, “I didn’t taste a one of the
white fruit cakes I baked, and haven’t
had much of the dark ones.”
I can understand that, for if she
serves all her visitors as generous a
portion as she served me, she wouldn’t
have much left to taste.
“Mr. Smith”
I wonder if you who saw the pic
ture at the Op^ra House last week,
“Mr. Smith Goes' to Washington,” en
joyed it as much as I did? It was
one of the most educational pictures
I’ve seen in a long time. It taught
much to those of us who are ignorant
about such governmental affairs. If
you missed it, you really missed a
good show. Not in my opinion only,
but I haven’t heard anyone yet say
they didn’t enjoy it, and I talked with
a good many people about it.
Pipe Trouble
Although it’s nice for the plumber’s
business, it isn’t nice for everyone to
do without water on account of burst
pipes. Whether it’s nice or not, how
ever, many had to do without during
the freeze.
I knew there were a great many
having burst pipes, but it seemed in
credible to me that 60 per cent of the
people were without water in New
berry last week.
We complain entirely too much
about the things we don’t have, whe
ther they are essential or not. I cer
tainly agree with Mrs. Mae Aull, who
told me that if all of us who com
plain could go on her rounds as At
tendance Teacher, we would never
complain again. I’ve been to homes—
or would you call them homes—
where ten members of one family live
in one room, and that’s in Newberry
county. Whenever I can’t get some
thing that I want, and start complain
ing, it makes me ashamed when I
know how much more I have than so
many others.
Night and Day
While walking home from town last
week, I stopped in to see my neigh
bor, Mrs. J. J. Langford. She was
showing me over her recently re
modeled house, and we came to one
room upstairs, which Mrs. Langford
said was the day and night room. I
didn’t quite understand at first, and
she said, “Whoever sleeps in here
goes to bed with the stars at night
and wakes up with morning glories.”
The ceiling paper was white stars on
a blue background and the wall pa
per was blue setting with pale pink
morning glories. It really gives
the “night and day” effect.

MONDAY, Feb. 19th
8 p.m. Adm. 25c & 40c
(From NEWS & COURIER)
F. Theodore Rogers, managing edi
tor of the Philippines Free Press, of
Manila, landed in Charleston Tuesday
aboard the Pan American Clipper as
one of the first two passengers to
make a trans-Atlantic flight to Char
leston from Lisbon. The other man
who made the full trip is Paul Fab-
racant, of Paris and Geneva.
Mr. Rogers, a cousin of the late
Will Rogers, world famous humorist,
disagreed with the crew of the clip
per and described the voyage as
very uncomfortable and bumpy, but
was high in his praise of the crew
for its handling of the huge air
liner.
His flight followed a tour of Eu
rope in which h' 1 investigated condi
tions. Asked what he was going to
do with his information, Mr. Rogers
said: “I might say something about
it in Washington.” He left with the
crew by train yesterday afternoon
for Baltimore.
“After running all around most of
the neutral countries of Europe, as
well as France and England, flying
back and forth over the channel and
escaping submarines, bombs and all
the other weapons those barbarians
(the Germans) are using, I found
that England and France are putting
up a great fight for our civilization,
in order that people who want to
live in a democratic way may be
guaranteed that they can do so.”
Has Seen Three Wars
Mr. Rogers, who has been in three
wars, beginning with the Spanish
American, said tha most torching
sight he ever had seen in forty years
in newspaper reporting was the
British and French fleets in action in
the English channel.
He paid special tribute to the
British forces, consisting mostly of
the seas safe from submarine pirates
and murderers and their mines, scat
tered broadcast by the cowardly
brutes.”
“Those men are working twenty-
four hours a day and their lives are
not worth a s:.ap of the finger, as
their ships are blown up from time
to time. But there in those troubled
seas, open and free from the human
sharks who hold that the seas belong
to them, these men toil,” he said.
Another touching sight he describ
ed was the men of the British and
French air squadrons, flying over
Britian and France and even into
enemy territory, protecting their own
people from the enemy.
“Two things this war has brought
out very clearly are the superiority
j of the British in the air and the
marvelous work of the French
navy,” he said. Often three British
aviators contend with ten or twelve
j of the enemy. Never before have the
French distinguished themselves in
naval warfare, but they are doing so
in this war.
God on Finn’s Side
“God is fighting with Finland. I
think God got tired of all this butch
ery and savagery. God picked little
Finland as the straw to break the
back of that awful monster brute,
Russia. Three million people are
fighting 180,000,000 and beating.
“My one greatest regret, and one
I feel rather ashamed about as an
American, is that we are not doing
anything to help Finland, who is
fighting our battle. We’re doing a lot
of talking but Finland can’t fight
with snowballs and ice.”
He said one of the most pleasing
remembrances was the predomin
ant opinion among the ruling class
es and the men in the street, in all
of Europe except Germany, Russia,
and Scandinavit., which he did not
visit, that the people admired Presi
dent Roosevelt and were hoping and
praying that he might in some way
help in “bringing at ut an era of
peace, decency and justice.”
On the voyage over, Mr. Rogers
was reading “The Spanish Arena”,
and pointed to references to his own
writings throughout the book, which
he had about half finished.
