4'In men whom men condemn as ill,
I find so much of goodness still;
In men whom men pronounce divine.
I find so much of sin and blot?
I hesitate to draw the line
Between the two?where God has not."

When we fancy we have nothing
to he thankful for let us think of
the plight of the soldiers on the
firing line in the European unpleasantness,
men who for days and
weeks lie the frozen trenches, apprehensive
every moment of losing life
or lind? from bullet or shell. Oh,
yes, we have a lot to i?e thankful for.
The Charleston Evening Post's
"Greater Charleston Edition'' issued
Tuesday afternoon, was a
notable achievement even for that
enterprising newspaper. The edition
contained fifty-two pages chockfull
of valuable local and general information.
The "Greater Charleston
Edition" is well worth a close
and careful perusal.

Many of our contemporaries are
advising that it is "tine hog-killing
weather," which predication is indisputable,
hut we have no hogs
to kill, and if our friends will furnish
us the hy-products, such as
sausage, liver pudding, Kentucky
oysters, alias chitterlings, back-bone ,
and sjiare ribs, not to mention
hog's head cheese and pigs' feet,
either for cash or on subscription,
we will risk the weather 'most any
old time.
There is a sort of grim humor in '
the spectacle of two armies Hying at J
each other's throats and each one :
invoking the Almighty to aid them
I
in smiting the enemy, hip and ]
thigh. In this enlightened age it 1
seems Hagrant presumption for men
engaged in slaying their fellow-men ]
by wholesale to expect the Father
all mercies to help one nation to j
do^trov .inntlior nrwl it >civrir- of '
sacrilege to offer such petitions to
Him from whom "all blessings
How."
Few of us have a sufficiently
vivid imagination to picture the
horrors that attend the gigantic
struggle now raging in Europe.
One writer describing a battle-field
scene says that the dead and wounded
lay there, not by hundreds or
thousands, but by (ere*. Moreover,
he adds, the inadequate and 1
over-w.u'ked force of surgeons oper-'
ate on the wounded men on the,
battle-field and perform the most J
seriou- operations without giving;
* ^ anesthetic- to alleviate the agony of |
knife and saw. Think of whacking
off an arm or a leg without any'
lethal drug to allav the pain!

alarm was speedily given. The par-1
?nts had gone to church, leaving,
only the daughters at home, and it i
was some time before any assistance i1
was received, but the "bucket bri-11
?ade", as usual, was at its best and !
despite the cold weather and the
perilous position of the fire, a num- j
ber of boys and young men climbed
the roof, quickly conquering the j
flames, which, on account of the nature
of the Hue, had made but little
oeadway. Wesley Young, assisting
n the fight, was nearly crushed to |
death when the flue fell from the
roof, escaping him by the narrowest
nargin.
