CONFIRMED ABOARD SHIP
Roman Catholic Priest Presents To
Episcopal Bishop
On his way back to the United
States from service in Trance Bishop
Guerry had a most unusual experience
aboard ship. Two men, one a
member of the crew and the other a
soldier in khaki, wished to be confirmed.
A roman Catholic priest who
had also been at the front was
among the returning pilgrims. He
was asked by the bishop whether or
not under the rives of his church it
would be p oper for him to present
the two candidates for confimation
and the Roman Catholic said that it
would be and that he would be pleased
to present them, which he did
with the Book of Common Prayer in
his hands and reciting the form prescribed
in the book?"Reverend father
in God, I present these candidates,"
etc., etc.?before the Episcopal
bishop clad in the vestments of
his office sitting to receive the candidates.
Picture the scene if you can
?a great ship in mid ocean coming
back to America loaded with brave
men who had proved their courage
on many fields fighting for God and
humanity, a Roman Catholic priest
presenting to the bishop of the Episcopal
communion two men seeking
to identify themselves with the
Church of God and being accepted
with all the solemnity due the occasion!
What a subject that would be
for the brush of the artist and what
a lesson it teaches that after all we
are all very much the same.?Spartanburg

Stevenson Repels Slur Cast At South
Replying vigorously and spiritedly
to a statement made on the floor of
the House by Congressman Fairfield,
of Indiana, that "the South was turned
over to the dominence of an irresponsible
and ignorant constituency
in the days of reconstruction," and
making other allusions of an equally
unfriendly nature against the people
of that section, Congressman Stevenson
of South Carolina, characterized
such statements as being utterly unnecessary
and largely overdrawn and
a gross mistatement of the real
facts.
H*AO mnok l'mnrAQCoH M
& TVMO 'Ttl J UtUVU vtjwvu)
Mr. Stevenson sa^d, "with some of
the statements made by Mr. Fairfield.
He deplores the static condition
of the South politically and from
a business standpoint. That static
conditions possibly does not appeal
him but certainly from a patriotic
standpoint it ought to appeal to people
who are loyal to the institution
of this country and who are loyal to
the people who carry the inforcement
of the law as their responsibility.
"When has there ever appeared a
headline in a newspaper showing the
mailing out of those charged with
the maintenance of the dignity of
kftwiK.- rlftcirvnAr) Ia rioctrftv
uic iv n uvu uuoi^iivu w uvw?* vj
human life and destroy the ability of
humanity to care for itself, as emanating
from'any Southern State?
And yet within the last few weeks,
within the confines of the great metropolis
of this country, whose static
condition, I have no doubt, appeals to
the gentleman from Indiana, we have
seen bombs mailed, to law abiding
people in every section of this country,
including a distinguished member
of this House, who faithfully
discharged his duties (here and who
was mailed a bomb because, forsooth,
he was attempting to prevent the
destruction of the pure and static
condition of, our race in this country
by the prevention of undesirable immigrants
being brought in here.
"Now, the gentleman made another
statement and in this he is entirely
incorrect. He stated that he South
was turned over to the dominenceof
an irresponsible and ignorant constit-iion/?\
in rtavs <vf th?> reCOn
struction. He has missed his history
again. It was turned over to the
Conscienceless carpetbaggers who
came from those States where conditions
are not \ so static today and
who dominated ^he colored man and
used him as a tool with which to oppress
and rob those people who had
any stake in this government. It was
not the ignorant colored man. It was
the depraved and debased carpetbagger
who made the South sweat blood
for her stand in the war of the sixties.
"One of them elected from my
State and the district which I represent
upon the floor of this House,
acknowledged that he sold a cadetship
at Annapolis for $2,000 and one
dominence of the irresponsible and
at West Point for $2,500 and was
promptly expelled by this House only
to be re-elected by the same constituency
who had elected him before,,
and he was sent back here to have
the door shut in his face.
"Those were the people. Do not
lay the misfortune of the South upon
the poor colored man. who has
mflHp a e-ood citizen since he and we
have shaken off the shackles of
those people from our hands."
South Carolina, he continued, had
received seven out of forty-three
Congressional war medals given for
bravery in France.

THE EXPLANATION
Nature placed the growth-promoting

Scott's Emulsion
is so definite in its help to a child
of any age. Latter-day science
reveals that the "vitamins" are

Electric Fans And Day Current
Mr. Dave Silverman, one of King
