"In men whom men condemn as ill, I hi i so much of goodness still; Id me.i whom men pronounce divine, I fir.d so much of sin and blot? I hesi tate to draw the line Between the two?where God has not." THURSDAY. NOV. 12. 1914. The recent elections throughout the country reduced the Democratic majority in Congress from 140 to 23, while the Senatorial majority < has been increased to 14. The "Solid South" remained solid, while the "Hull Moose" is almost an extinct species, the party Injuring that emblem l>eing hopelessly beaten wherever there was a candidate in the field. It looks like the irony of fate for 1 the farmers all over the country to have made almost the biggest crops on record and yet many of them cannot sell the fruit of their lal?or at the cost of production. It is mighty disheartening, hut they have done all within their i>ower and present conditions could he neither foreseen nor avoided. "Tis not in mortals to command success, hut we'll do more, we'll deserve it,' i< a good motto for our Southen farmers this year especially. To Our Subscribers. The time has come when it is absolutely necessary to call on our delinquent subscribers to pay us what .they owe on subscription. We have put off this disagreeable matter as long as possible, but with the heavy obligations facing us, it is imperative that those who take the paper come to our aid. We realize that conditions are such that money is scarce, but we have put the price of the paper down as low as possible, even if we collect from every subscriber in arrears. And, honestly, we believe that nine-tenths of our subscribers are able to pay the small amount they owe us, but it is reallv so small that some seem to think that we don't need it. Remember, friends, that while it means a few cents to you. in the aggregate it means over a thousand dollars to us, and unless we can collect these small amounts from all of our subscribers, our entire year's work goes for nothing. ' We keenly appreciate the hard ^ times prevailing, as they hit us as 1 hard as any other class,and perhaps a little bit harder than some, for we have to buy every mouthful we t at (except the gifts of our gener- j; ous friends once in a while) and every stick of wood we burn, besides ' other necessaries Provisions are ' going up and everything in the way 1 of printing material is soaring along ' 'with them. Only the price of the paper remains the same, and we ' are entitled to that?don't you 1 think so? Don't wait on the other fellow, now, but look at the label on your * # j paper and if you are behind please let us hear from you. tf WHITE OAK CHIPS Picked lip During the Week by Our Wideawake Scribe.

Mr Bryan was born in Bladen j county, N C, in 1849, and moved to 1 Williamsburg county, S C, in 1877. [ He died October 27, 1914, at the age of 65 years. When Mr Bryan came to this county he was as fine a specimen of manhood as could be found any- j where. He engaged in the naval stores, lumber and timber business,) in which he was quite successful up; to 15 years ago, when his health gave way. Since that time he has been a great sufferer, undergoing two operations, and at times his suf- ; ferings were almost unbearable, yet1 he never lost hope or his will |' power or energy, but manfully , fought the battle of life as well as! his health would permit until the; i past spring, when he was taken with i pellagra, which was more than his weak and feeble condition could1 withstand. He was a kind husband, a tender and affectionate father, and no son in as more attentive to a mother than was he to his up to her death. He j leaves a widow,four sons,one daugh- j ter, four grandchildren and three brothers to mourn his death. He told one of his sons the day he iied that he was ready and willing ' to die and hoped the Lord would soon take him. His remains rest in ' Union church-yard to await the res- 1 urrection morn. Afflictions, though they seem severe, Are oft in mercy sent. B. . I; CEDAR SWAMP SCHOOL. ^ _ Benson, November 9: ? Cedar Swamp Graded school opened October 1 with a total enrollment of sixty-four.

IHANIiEU IU DKim Change Requested to Conform to Name of Raflway Statfon. Washington, November 10:?Inquiries came to the postoffice department today from a number of newspaper correspondents, some of them representing important papers outside of the South, as to the significance of an order issued on this date by the Postmaster General changing the name of "Taft." a fourth-class postoffice in Williamsburg county, to "Bryan," and continuing William D Bryan as nostmaster. Similar interest was shown by the news-gatherers of the Capitol last year when an Arizona postoffice had its name changed from Taft to Wilson. The department explains that the change was made at the request of the nostmastmer and natrons of the office to avoid confusion, as the name of the railway station from which the office gets its mail is Bryan. The request for the change was submitted through Congressman Ragsdale, in whose district the office is situated, according to the record. The first recommendation of the railway mail service was against the change, on the ground that there is still on the list of South Carolina offices, as a "discontinued office," the name of Bryan, Colleton county, which must be carried on the postoffice register until July 1, 1915. Later the request was submitted again and the change was approved without comktr fViQ oomo an + Hnrifrv UiCIK VJJ VIIW cuuiv uubiivi ivj The Christmas Thought. Ideas on Christmas giving are rapidly changing: among the sensible. Those who think as they give are looking for a year-round service as the important thing. In a week of shopping, with all its strain,you will not find a better gift than a year's subscription to The Youth's Companion. It offers its service, its clean entertainment, its fine suggestiveness week after week; and the end of the year, which finds many a gift in the attic, dust-covered and forgotten, brings The Companion again, with all the charm of last Christmastide. No American monthly at any price offers the same amount of reading. and none can offer better quality. Less than four cents a week provides this best of Christmas gifts? $2.00 a year. If you subscribe now, all the remaining issues of the year will be sent free, and The Companion Home Calendar. A copy of the calendar is also sent to those who make a gift subscription. Send for sample copies, and the forecast for 1915. The Youth's Companion, 144 Berkeley Street, Boston, Mass. Xetc subsm'/ifivit$ rev iced <0 this rjfice.
