Chlps, L have one question to ask
you concerning the Scripture, and that
Is where was Lazarus soul when he
lay in the grave four DAYS before
Jesus raised him from the dead? While
l am not pretending to argue Scripture
with you, but | have asked several
men this question aud have not found
any one able to answer it. You will
find shis Scripture in the 11th chapter
OF st. John and the 18th verse.
! have been informed that Mr.. Geo.
;. Merchants house was broken into

Rev. Il. w. Bedenbaugh preached
his fairwell sermon ut st. Lukc's last

Mr. Il, e. Amick, of near Prosperity,
visited in this section this week.
L have been considering the
classified list Of acts passed at tho re.
cent session Of the Legislature and
made careful considerations of the ap-
preparations for current year and find
many appropriations made which wc
could very easily do without. For
example, you can take higher educa-
lion and you find the appropriations
for this year as follows: For some few
as the public institutions, South Caro-.
lima College $42, ,557, and for the South
Carolina Military Academy 1928, 25O,
and for Winthrop Normal and Indus
trial College $G9,872, and for tho Col
ored Normal College $4,000, and all
these institutions are said to be for the
benefit of the poor mans children, and
after all these appropriations for them
poor man can send his son or daugh-
ter to any other institution lust as
cheap as he can send them to ons OF
The institutions which are receiving n
hig appropriation each year from the
State treasury, and VIC don't see why
SO many Of the members of the Legis.
lature and Senate raised such q howl
about John l.. McLaurin working to
have postmaster Baker Of Lake City.
South Carolina, family given 81, 900, and
for the lynching of Baker when he was
only trying to carry out the law of the
State and at the same time they were
making an appropriation for O negro
college Of $4,000 for tho support of the
institution. We believe it no more
than right to give the West Indian Ex-
position of Charleston an appropria.
tion of $50,U00 she pays large amount
of taxes, and If tho State would have
given nothing they could not have ex.
pectcd any other State in the union to
help them out any. But as 10 the high
cr education they had better have
made appropriations to build wo
poor farmers good roads, as it would
have been much more beneficial to the
poor man, and 1t looks like almost
every appropriation was made in be.
half or the towns and cities and rich
men. we were promised last summer
at almost every campaign meeting by
