about the home. By placing this
great institution in our care, He ex
pects us to be faithful in making it
a home where He can reign. When
God told Hezekiah. “Set thine house
in order", it was easy for Hezekiah
to bring to remembrance of God how
he had walked before Him. Could
we do as Hezekiah if our summons
should come? Would we feel that we
had done our duty to God. our home,
our church? The greatest plan for
home defense is to make our homes
a “House of prayer” as in Isa. 56:7.
If we had more homes that had God
for their defense, refuge, and
strength, then we’d have more homes
where the 5th commandment, “Honor
thy father and mother” is being kept.
Surely we’re living in a day when
this commandment is far from being
kept. Truly if we have homes where
God reigns, we’ll have homes where
marriage vows are kept, family al
tars erected and the Bible read. Then
we’d have homes wherein it would be
said with the psalmist, David, “1 was.
glad when they said unto me, let us
go into the house of the Lord.”—Ps.
122:1.
SAVE THE HOME
(Rev. J. A. Estes)
We are all interested in the home,
because we came from homes, we
live in homes, and our young people
plan to some day have homes of their
own. When we step outside from our
individual concerns and consider the
nation, it grows more obvious that
the real battleground for the moral
life of America is the family. We
may multiply inventions, build great
businesses, and great temples, sup
port fine schools, but there is no
substitute for Christian parents. Let
the family life decay, and there is no
magic by which Christian religion
can be maintained. Neither is there
“THE LORD’S HERITAGE"
(Rev. C. J. Matthews)
Some signs of disintigration of the
home are: Increase in divorce rate,
decrease in birth rate, lack of family
unity, increased intemperance and
adultry among married people, lack
of parental authority and discipline.
Some suggestions for correction are:
(1) Recognition that marriage has a
stronger motive than social pride,
pysical passion, or economic advan
tage. “Children are an heritage of
the Lord.’’ The true bond of union
is LOVE, not LUST. A happy home
does not lie in the direction of the
divorce court. (2) Establishment of
family worship. II Sam. 6:20 and I
Tim. 2:4. (3) Reestablishment of
the home as the center of authority.
(Prov. 22:6) (4) Christian consis
tency on part of the parents.

RALPH B. BLACK,
Treasurer Newberry County.
(Rev. J. B. Mitchell)
We believe that God would have
us place more emphasis upon the
home and its importance and place in
the realm of life. Our homes will
make and mould society, our com
munities, the world and the Church.
If this be true, surely every home
should recognize that Unseen Guest
and give Him place there. Certainly
His mercies and love should be rec
ognized at least during the meals.
Parents exerting influence upon their
children will determine whether they
shall be criminals or law abiding
citizens. The youth of our homes is
looking to the parents for examples
of good citizenship, and Christianity
demonstrated in daily life. What does
your home and home life mean to
your children ?^
SAVE THE HOME
(Rev. C. A. Calcote)
The home is the basic unit of all
human society. The moral stamina
of our nation will never transcend
that of our homes. The spiritual
level of our churches will never be
above that of our homes. Break
down the home, and you have broken
down the altar whereby men, nations,
and empires survive. Democracies,
the Christian Sabbath, the Christian
church, and the Christian home stand
or fall together. Never before in our
generation has it been so imperative
that we look to the health of our
homes, because of the subtle attack
of the liquor traffic, adultry, popular
gambling, Sabbath desecration and
tile looseness of our moral standards.
All this coupled with, and resulting
in, church indifference, general God
lessness, is a challenge to parents
who are jealous for the welfare of
their children, and to all patriots who
know what it means to save the
home.
Oliver Wendell Holmes says we
should begin to train our children
100 years before they’re born. What
emphasis such a fact places on the
short duration of their home-life!
Eighty-five per cent of our criminals
come from Godless homes. When a
youngster thrusts himself upon so
ciety as a spoiled mistake, the spoil
ing usually took place somewnere
between the home fire-side and the
front side-walk. Homes wherein
children are taught to gamble at
cards, taught intemperance by
“harmless” cocktails, etc., taught dis
obedience to all authority by being
allowed to parental oversight, are the
homes that become the breeding
places of “respectable^’ profligates.
Put a family altar hard by the nur
sery door- Let the Ark of the Coven
ant rest there . Put the Bible into
the hands of the children. Take
their hands in your hands, and lead
them to the church, and lead them to
like the things they ought to like.
Build a church in thy house, where
love in the ruling power, where
Christ is reversed, and His church
honored, and where God dwells,—
then the angels of heaven will never
cease to come and go to bless such
a home with the dew of heaven.
JOHNSTONE H. D. ICLUB
The Johnstone H. D. club met at
the school house Monday. The meet
ing was called to order and scripture
was read from 103rd Psakn. Miss
Counts talked on the subject of elec
tricity in the rural homes and how it
has made farm life easier and more
pleasant. A Valentine contest was
then tried with Miss Counts as win
ner. The hostesses, Mrs. E. B. Sligh
and Mrs. James Sligh servea hot
chocolate, sandwiches and cake, carry

Philadelphia, Feb. 8.—The inter
nationally famous library of the late
A. Edward Newton wi’J be sold at
public auction at the Parke-Bernet
Galleries in New York, beginning
April 8.
The library contains more than
2,000 rare books and papers and is
valued at more than $1,500,000 by
some dealers. Among the treasures
in the collection is a famous Earl
of Carysfort copy of the first folio
of Shakespheare, for which Newton
paid $62,000.
Manusci pts of Charles Lamb’s
“Dream Children” and Thomas
Mardy’s “Far from the Madding
Crowds”, along with a number of
first printings of Dicken’ “Pickwick
Papers” are part of the library
In his will, Newton requested that
the collection be broken up and sold
so that other bibliophiles could en
joy the pleasures he experienced in
building it.
The treasures will be dividedi al
phabets ally and placed on the block
in three parts. The first from A to
D, will be sold on April 8, 9 and 10;
the second, from E to M, will be
auctioned on May 6 to 7, ana the
third section, from N to T, will go
on sale sometime next fall.
Newton was recognized as owe of
the greatest authorities on Dr. Sam
uel Johnson and was the first presi
dent of the Johnson Society of Great
Britain. Just before Christinas the
library of Congress published a
brochure in his memory in which
Archibald MacLeish, Congressional
librarian, referred to him as “so long
the most famous and most influential
of American book collectors.”
Newton began his collection with
the purchase, fifty years ago, of
Hazlitt’s “Montaigne” for $40. All
through his lifetime his only interest
was in his collection. An amusing
anecdote is told about a young Bri
tish girl who introduced herself as a
captain of a hockey team.
“Hockey,” he remarked, “Oh yes,
it’s game, is it not? Do you play it
with cards?”
Among the almost priceless items
which found their way into his
bookshelves is a “suicide letter” writ
ten by Harriet Shelley, wife of a poet
shortly before her death. Another
is an autographed sonnet by John
Keats entitled, “A Dream after Read
ing Dante’s Episode of Paolo and
Francesca”, with many marked pas
sages and drawings by the autnor.
Also on the shelves, is an original
manuscript map for Stevenson’s
“Treasure Island”. There’s a copy of
the original first edition of Boswell’s
“Johnson”; a first edition in its ori
ginal wrapper of “Omar Khayyam”;
a first edition of “Robinson Crusoe”,
and the original watercolor of Wil
liam Blake’s most famous drawing,
“The Morning Stars Sang Together”.

MRS. T. D. MARSHALL
Mrs. T. D. Marshall died Tuesday
morning February 6th at their home
in Columbia at the age of 72. She
had been ill since Christmas. Mrs.
Marshall was formerly Miss Marion
Spearman of Newberry, having mov
ed to Columbia in her girlhood in
1884 with her parents James and
Kate Leavell Spearman. She was
the granddaughter of the late Colo
nel John R. Leavell, long one of the
most prominent citizens of Newber
ry.
Mrs. Marshall was the wife of T.
D. Marshall of the Marshall clothing
store of Columbia, to whom she was
married June 21, 1887, having lived
happily in that relation more than
fifty years. She was of many noble
characteristics and beautifully de
voted to home and church and exem
plified in life these virtues of woman
hood.
Funeral services for Mrs. Marshall
were conducted Friday afternoon by
the Rev. F. Clyde Helms, pdstor of
the Shandcii Baptist church, due to
vacancy of the pastorate of the First
Baptist church of which she was a
devout member. Many beautiful
floral tributes attested to the high
esteem of her many friends. Inter
ment was in Elmwood cemetery.
Two former Newberrians, Richard
M. Caldwell and Dr. W. P. Houseal
were among the group of honorary
pallbearers.
FISH PROPAGATION FUND IS
OBTAINED
Santee Authority Secures Money for
U. S. to Put Up Small Dams
BOY IS RESOURCEFUL
Hampton.—Joe Altman, seventh
grade pupil of Hampton, found a
practical use for the kitchen cabinet
without ever having taken home
economics. The lad was assigned a
letter to be brought in for the next
day’s recitation; the letter was to
be written in ink.
When time came to. study th«. boy
discovered tljat the much needed
ink was lacking. Not to be out«*ine,
he went to the kitchen, opened the
cabinet, and took out a bottle of
cake coloring. With this and pen
he turned out a neat letter.
The secret leaked out when Joe
was questioned by teacher about the
color of the ink, and his reply
brought forth an apt commendation
for the lad’s resourcefulness, in
spite of the violet “ink”.
Steps for fidh and game propaga
tion and protection in the Santee-
Cooper basin areas already are be
ing taken.
The South Carolina Public Service
(Santee-Cooper) authority has ob
tained funds which will assure pro
tection of fl^h life, Robert M. Coop
er, general manager of the project,
divulged.
The entire project area has been
declared a game sanctuary for five
years, under state law. A. A.
Richardson, chief game warden,
has charge of the protection of wild
life in all properties secured by the
authority.
A 2,000-acre sanctuary for ducks
and geese will be created in the
Pinopolis reservoir area.
“The South Carolina Public Ser
vice authority has secured $200,000
exclusive of its loan and grant
agreement with the public works ad
ministration, from a fund available in
Washington and has turned it over
to the United States Fish and Wild
life service” (formerly the bureau of
biological survey), Mr. Cooper eaid.
“They will construct secondary dams
across the mouths of small creeks
and inlets flowing into the reser
voirs, in order to maintain c. con
stant water level, so that propaga
tion of fish will be guaranteed.^
Such a step never has been taken
in connection with any other hydro
electric development in this section,
Mr. Cooper said. That fact ac
counts for the dimunition of fish in
Lake Murray, near Columbia, he ex
plained.
The Santee-Cooper authority is
not permitted to use its regular
funds for anything other than con
struction and related costs. It there
fore is working with appropriate
state and federal services in de
veloping these conservation plans.
Many women are employed in
munitions factories in Australia,
causing a shortage of domestic ser
vants.
