sisted III a march around the church by
several of the members and children
bearing banners with inscriptions Of
tll lIjtlHlltt tlNiiS.
The whole procession halted before
the audipnre and the leaders explained
the branches and divisions. The pret-
tiest demonstration which was given was
that by the children, who in unison eX-
planned what they made it their duty to
accomplish.

DENIES THE STORY.
Hotel Clerk Says That Rev. q.
w. rIorrow Did Not Try to
Buy Beer of Him.

An article appeared in the Evening
Argus last evening relative to Mr..
George w. Morrow, the president of
the Anti-Saloon league. 1t was stated
in the article that Mr.. Morrow asked for
beer of the clerk at the desk Of the
Pavilion hotel. The reporter who wrote
the item says that the information was
given him by w. A. Noyes, the clerk at
the hotel.
1t now develops that the clerk denies
absolutely telling the reporter any story
of the kind. No one was present to
hear the conversation but the clerk and
the reporter, and it is simply question
of veracity between the two.
The Evening Argus now believes that
the story was not only untrue but with
out foundation.
The Evening Argus had no desire to
belittle Mr.. Morrow in any way, and
the article would not have been written
but that it was believed to be true, and
secured on reliable authority
The friends OF Mr.. Morrow are con-
fident, that, however ardent his zeal
may be in promoting the cause OF pro;
hibition, he would not stoop to unmanly
or unchristian methods of attaining his
ends. OF his earnestness in furthering
tbe cause of total abstinence there is no
question, and as to his personal conduct
of affairs there have been no criticisms
thus far.
The Evening Argus regrets the occur
renee as it would not knowingly place
Mr.. Morrow in false position and is
glad to be be assured that he has not
personally utilized methods in conduct
ing his crusade against intemperance
which might subject him to criticism
From the Montpelier Argus Of Sept. 20.

1t is indeed a grevious mistake that
should lead to the publication of such
an article as appeared in the Argus Of
Tuesday in regard to the Rev. George
w. Morrow, when, as has been since
learned, there was utterly no foundation
to the story. The TELEGRAM took the

News from Old Rocky River.

General Green has again visited
us, and without welcome, and has
made much appearance since the much
needed rain that fell last week.
Wheat and oats are growing very
rapidly at the present time, and we are
hoping to reap large crop.
Our venerable old friend, Mr.. E..
Hall, who has had q very severe case
Of the we'll known la grippe, has recov-
cred and is out again.
Messrs. Clayton Hampton and Ross
Price, of this fairview, made anew call
on some girls Of the Flat Rock section.
Ask them did the evergreens get killed.
I think by the way one of our nearby
bachelors goes up the country once
every month and stays all night and
the next day and part of that night,
I think there will be quite a change
this time next year.
Messrs. E. Hall and B. C. Alewine
went to town last Friday on personal
business.
Messrs. w. P. and L. McNIahan, Of
Fairdeal and Belton, spent last Tues
day night with their father in this Sec
ton and returned Monday.
One of the meanest tricks q man can
do is to break open other peoples let
tiers, and say there were no mail. This
has been done recently, and tits a yio-
lation of the United States postal law.
Next third Saturday is Memorial Day
and Sunday communion day. Let all
come that can come and hear our good
and humble preachers. DITTo.

In Mcm0riam.

Mrs. Elizabeth Sears died at her
home in Fork Township atSunset last
Sunday, April 30, in her S1st year, she
having been born January 2, 1919. She
had been a sufferer for twenty-five
years; going much OF the time on
crutches. but not until recently did her
months past she was never out OF bed
and declined. steadily through great
suffering to the end.
She was daughter of John
Whit, and was born in Greenville
County, where she spent her girlhood.
but removed with her parents to the
eastern side of this County, between
Williamson and Belton. Here August
Is, 1885, she married William Sears,
who, the next year, served IN the
Florida Indian War under the distin-
guished Pierce NJ. Butler.
Mrs. Sears was the mother OF thir-
teen children, all of whom grew to ma
turity. Eight Of these survive, lnclud-
ing four maiden daughters, upon whom
the sense Of loss and bereavement
seems to bear most heavily, for they,
with the old mother, constituted the
immediate home circle. Three OF her
five sons, the others being too young,
were in the Confederate army, and
one, Jasper n. Sears, member of the
Fourth S. C.. Volunteers, was killed in
the summer of 49, Her husband, who
was q man Of exemplary traits, died
nine years ago, and she assumed and
carried forward with excellent judg-
ment the affairs Of the farm and home.
She never made a profession Of religion
till rather late in life, when she joined
the Methodist Church. She never
paraded her religion, never proclaimed
her piety from the housetops, but deep
down in her soul, we have reason to
believe, her faith was hid with Christ
in God, and her last hours she talked
of her fearlessness Of the King OF Ter
rors, of the rest she would soon enter
upon in the mansions of glory and OF
the greetings Of loved ones gone before.
Her body was laid to rest Monday
afternoon, at Cedar Grove, beside that
of her husband, in the presence of q
large concourse Of friends, the services
being conducted by her pastor, Rev: L.
l.. Inabinet. X.

a great deal of the feelingmanifested
in Germany, England and America
with respect to each other is pure CO.
5quetry. Some Of the absurd remarks
made by the extreme German press
about this country wear upon their
face the spitefulness OF mere Jealousy

whois not attracting as much attention
as she thinks she deserves. The meet
ing OF Germans in Chicago to declare
vehemently against an alliance OF the

good deal OF this feeling. There IS

5 The punishment inflicted upon Sam
Hose the negro recently lynched at
Palmetto, Ca, was horrible. But in
comparison with his crime it was very
mild. The full truth Of the negro's
horrible crime has not and never will
find its way into print, because it is so
sickening,; loathsome and repelant not
even the sensational press is heartless
enough to lay the naked truths before
their readers. We do not wish to be
understood as advocates Of lynch law,
but when brutal negro or white man
commits the same crimes that Hose
did we say hang him! burn him! do
anything to avenge such outrages and
teach such brutes that our women will
be protected! Let editors of the "bloody
shirt" papers in the north inquire into
the facts of Hoses terrible crimes and
then bring it home to some OF the loved
ones of their own households, and we
venture they will then be ready to
commend the action of the citizens of
Palmetto.
