Noble souls die for truth iut contracted minds and uneflllglilned souls move on undisturbed by rrors of inconsistencies. Truth is ternal. What we xcall new truth is illy a new way Of apprehending it. 'he earth was round in spite of its ate discovery in the fifteenth cenury. Chemists are constantly disovering new elements but the elenents are not really" new". Thev have xisted since the hills iin order stood. It seems as if the face should apireciate its pioneers more, but every ruth-hunter who appears is martyred 'he world's greatest benefactors are lisclaimed. It is however thrilling 0 gaze upon the stalwart figures of ruth as they stalk across the-Jstage f history.

After many 'months of silence, which no doubt gave rise to the question as tG whether or not Beaufort is stillin^outhC arolina, we have again started'our correspondence^ which we intend to continue in order to keep, the public informed of our activities in the lowest part of the State. The people of Beaufort want to express their-admiration of the wonder-, ful courage and determination of the j Editor of the Palmetto Leader, Attorney N. J. Frederick, in handing the Ben Bess case, and although, the lat-| esi, uecison relative to the case mayi he somewhat discouraging buVltttow ing the Judge Townsend as we do?: having lost a well merited case un- j der him?iwe somewhat expected an i adverse fUpisinn. hut ni?.-n I- mni inir Attorney Frederick as tve do, we 'are confident that the adverse decision is but an incentive to him to make fur- j ther and determined attacks at the t unprecedented fumble of his Excellency, Mr. Richards. We are of the, opinion that both the Attorney General and the Governor must have stu; died law at the "University, of Prejudice." Well, "TIME" 7 the most lea^nde judge, will have his sayso about the matter. We-jtvonder why the colored-people of-this state, and we refer to' all of the intelligent colored people, cannot or will not come to their political senses and make an effort to nip-inthe-bud the rapidly rising "Lily-white Party." We recall at 'a certain convention, a certain gentleman, in introducing Dr. Sims, President, of Allen University, referred to him as the coming U. S. Congressman from the 7th district of South Carolina. The writer does not know whether the gen tleman was speaking' ironically, but he does believe that if a systematic effort is made by ALL of the colored people 0f the State, Dr. Sims could at east cause the white Cbngressnian from that district to sit up and take not put the program'over, but it requires the. combined, foilC.es 9? all,the , "ntelligent. colored men of the state.No such effort can be -nrmde, however until we succeed in ridding the State " ->f "Mr. Boss Tblbert," and his COLORED henehmen.?Indeed, "Buss Tol- ' bert" is to South Carolina what Dr. Straton says A1 Smith is to America.

We understand that the church debt isf ontii'ely liquidated, and there TS a~ wonderful spirit of cooperation on the | part of the entire membership. The Wesley M. E. church, under, the efficient leadership of Rev: McMillan j is rapidly liquidating her debt caused by th^-ecertt renovation of the church; building. Although, the membership^ is small,' a 'more unietd congregation cannot be found in the city. 'The Grace A. M. E. church, with ReV.

We Understand that this church is , planning a great rally for the pur-!' -pose-of renovating-the-mterlor of her 1 building. No wiser step could be ta-[ -keftr-?Inasmuch as ull of the churches have been lecently renovated, let > us the citizens of Beaufort, regardless of denominational affiliations, help Grace A. M.

The schools of Beaufort wll begin their-fall session on Sept. 17th.
