for economy in expenditures and reduced
taxation, while the great and
pressing need is more and better
schools with more and better paid
teachers, and better roads We have
no solution to offer for this perplexing
question, but unless we miss our
guess we can suggest a line of action
for our legislators that will help some.
The burden of taxation should be
equally distributed?not talked about,
but done. There are vast tracts of
lands throughout the state going untaxed,
and there are still greater
tracts which are bearing only a stS|H
part of their just tax. HH
And on the other hand not
tax payers would complain if t^^H
could see some results for tl9H
money, especially in the mattei^Hj
road improvement. j^B
So me offer these two suggest^ffl
for first attention: Equalization of

If Mr. Harding will imitate Thomas

PERU WILL CELEBRATE
The republic of Peru is one hundred
years old and proposes to celebrate
the centennial July next, that
being the month in which it decleared
its independence of Spanish rule. The
new republic had to fight Spain four
years before gaining freedom, but it
was worth it. One by one has Spain
lost her colonies. The United States
helped her to lose Cuba, Porto Rico,
the Phillippines, Zulu Islands and
Guam. Before that time Spain sold to
the United States the island of Cagayan
and Sibutu for $100,000. Spain
has no colonies now except a few in
Africa.
Peru is a rich country abounding in
vast mineral riches. The Republic
has sent an invitation to President in
vuinp: trip United States to take part
in the Centennial Celebration in July.

There is excitement in some
tions of the county over a bill bcf^H
the legislature to re-establish the lB

County. This question was voted ^H9
by the people recently and the ri^H|
police system was exchanged for
Magistrate's Constables. We are
in position to say how well or ba^H
the present system is working,
there is a strong contention that

From a communication recer^M

there is a growing interest in this st^H

lenient attitude toward the yrant^H

be threshed out. HI
HARDING'S INAUGURATION
Refei*ring to President-elect Harding's
opposition to a grand and expensive
inauguration on the fourth of
March the New York Independent has
this unique reference to the event:
"President-elect Harding was offered
a grand church wedding to Miss
Columbia, with brides maids and ushers
and decorations and everything.
Being a man of simple tastes he has
preferred a quiet home wedding, and
even expresed a willingness, so far as
he was concerned, to be married without
any ceremony at all before the justice
of the peace. We hope Warren will
have a happy honey-moon and that
the next four years will be full of
bless for both him and Miss Columbia.
Any how, it's a good sign that hubby
is setting out to be economical."
Perhaps Mr. Harding has in mind
the example of that great Democrat,
Thomas Jefferson, who rode to the
capital on horse back, hitched his nag
tO a DOSt- Wf>r>t ,'r. ?

?Christian Watchfulness.
This lesson Is a part of the well
known Olivet discourse, giving a prophetic
view of the course of time from
Its utterance, Just before the crucifixion
to the second advent of Christ.
The order of events in that time are.
roughly speaking, as follows:
1. The moral condition of the world
during Christ's absence (24:1-14). This
is the period covered by the parable
of chapter 13.
2. The appearance of the Antichrist
(24:15-26).
3. The great advent (24:27-31), 'n
which there will be mighty convulsions
of nature, the mourning of the earth's
tribes, and tbe gathering of the elect.
4. Warnings to God's people In view
of the great advent (24:32-51), the
time of advent unknown and unexpected.
5. Instructions to saints In view of
the unexpectedness of His coming (25:
1-80).
0. The Judgment of the nations (25:
31-40).
The present lesson is one of the
two parables designed for the instruction
of the saints In view of the coming
of the Christ. It has a continuous
application in the present time (I
Thess. 4:10-18; Titus 2:11-131
I. The Foolish Virgins Took Lamps
But No Oil With Them. (v. 3).
1. Lamps signify Christian profession
(Matt. 5:10), and oil. the Holy
Spirit (Zech. 4). Having the lamps
ami no oil shows that tiny were professors
of religion without possessing
Its reality. As soon as a man is regenerated
the Holy Spirit takes up His
abode with Him. The proof that one
Is a child of God 1r that he has the
Holy Spirit dwelling within him. "If
any man have not the Spirit of Christ,
he is none of His." (Item. 8:9). The
foolish virgins may have been of good
moral character, but they were unrcgenerated.
2. The wise virgins possessed both
lamps and oil (v. 4). They made a
profession and hacked It with a real
life of righteousness. These are the
true believers. Both the wise and the
foolish virgins slumbered and slept.
Their eyes had grown heavy and they
fell under the spell of sleep (v. 5).
This shows that as the Christian nge
lengthened the real and professing
church would cense looking for tthe
condng of the I.ord. It is unspeakably
sad that so many even of God's saints,
wise virgins, should give up the expectancy
of the return of the Lord.
II. The Comi*s Bridegroom (vv. 612).
1. The midnight rry (v. 0). Tn the
midst of the night when all were asleep
the cry was made. "Heboid the bridegroom
cometh, go ye out to meet him."
How sad It Is that the church has
lost her hope, is not waking and
watching for the return of her Lord!
2. Activity of the virgins (v. 7).
They all arose and trimmed their
lamps. There will he great activity
when the Lord comes, on the part of
both the real Christians and those
who only make a profession. The professing
Christians will then realize
that they lack that which Is essential
to entrance to the marriage feast.
3 .The foolish request the wise to
share their oil (vv. 8, 9). The revelation
of Christ will make manifest the
genuineness of our religion and expose
the folly of mere profession.
NVhen the Lord comes It will be too
late to mend one's ways.
4. The wise enter to the marriage
(v. 10). While the foolish were seeking
to amend their ways trying to buy
oil, the bridegroom came and those
who were ready were admitted to the
marnnpe.
5. The pitiful position of the foolish
(v. 11). They begged the Lord to
open the door that they might enter
to the marriage fenst. No one can
open that door but the Lord.
6. The awful Judgment (v. 12). The
I*ord declares "I know you not." Those
who put off the personal contact with
.Testis until that day shall he shut out
from tlie presence of Christ.
III. The Solemn Obligation (v. 13).
"Watch, for ye know not the day nor
the hour wherein the Son of man cometh."

THE furious storm aroused by the
combat between Thomas Jefferson
and Alexander Hamilton, the greatest
gladiators to face each other in the
arena of American politics, makes our
recent campaigns seem like sunshowera.
Hamlltonlans scorned to eat and
drink, and sometimes even to pray,
with the JefTersonlans. To give a
daughter In marriage with one of
them was almost abhorred as mis
L^t'iiaiiuu,
Nothing else so stirs the angry passions
as a conflict of classes or of sections.
This was both doubly bitter.
An almost solid South united with
the Northern masses In a common
dread of a strong government and In
a common hostility to the old ruling
caste In the middle states and New
England. The new parties called themselves
Federalists and Republicans.
In the first battle, when those pnrties
fought for the chair of Washington
In 1796, the result was so close
that Jefferson came within two elec
Thomas Jefferson.
toral votes of winning the presidency
against Adams. In the second buttle,
which was waged in 1800, he heal
Adams.
Contrary to the familiar story of hlg
hitching ills horse to the capltol fence.
Jefferson walked to his Inauguration
and afterward walked back to hit
hoarding house, which was only a few
hundred yards aw?y. This man afoot
dreamer and theorist, quietly ushered
in that day a more lasting revolutloc
than a man on horseback could havt
wrought with a sword and whiff ol
grapeshot.
Believing that revolutions should
begin at home Jefferson revolutionized
the White House by casting aside the
ceremonials which had been adopted
in a feeble imitation of kingly courts
Opening the doors to all, without re
gard to social classifications and with
out order of precedence, his rule wa?
"first come, first served." Determined
that the president, as he said, shoulo
cease to be a personage, he stopped
the custom of celebrating a president'!
birthday, never made a public tour
did his own marketing nnd went and
came like any other citizen. Althougt
no successor lias thrown a British minister
Into a fit of Indignation by re
celvlng him in slippered feet, Jeffersonlan
simplicity rather more thar.
Washlngtonlan courtliness remains the
standard of presidential conduct.
It wag the strange fortune of thl?
most thoroughgoing pacifist to find
himself at the helm in the midst 'of
a world at war. When the globe wai f
bristling with bayonets until it looked
like a porcupine, he calmly announces!
that pence was his passion, nnd start- .
ed out by cutting down his little army
one-half and by talking of hauling up
his seven warships. His only Interest
in iii*- Napoleonic struggle was to keep
out of It.
Nevertheless while the military powers
were fighting over little Islands
and provinces and drenching Europe
with their blood, this most nnmllifary
president, without firing a shot, gathered
in far richer spoils than the victors
In twenty-five years of warfare
divided ninong themselves at the congress
of Vienna. As Jefferson's elee- ,
tlon was a bloodless revolution, his
purchase of the Immense empire of
Louisiana, which doubled the territory
of the United States, was a bloodless
, conquest, the greatest peaceable annexation
the world ever saw. Having
ijiflde it, the flag was no more than
hoisted on the further l.nelr *?
imim my
Mississippi than he dispatched Lewis
and Clark and Captain JMke boldly to
spy out the .unexplored rivers and
mountains of the new soil, so honestly
won, and from wlileh so many free
states were to sprint;,
Jefferson is the only president who
remained the lender of his party after
lenv't.g the White House. Indeed,
the Democrats never have ceased to
wear allegiance to his spirit.
There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other dUeases

to be Incurable. Doctors prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly falling
to curs with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Catarrh Is a local disease,
