HE'S so DlSINTERESTE

The Bonne Tewe Star pretends
that it is neither for nor against
any particular candidate for State
Office but its editor is for Halves
all the same, and he never misses
an occasion to misrepresent and
slur Mr.. Folks supporters. In its
issue of Inst week he accuses the
friends of Mr.. Folk in this county
of fostering the plan adopted by
the County Democratic Committee
for selecting delegates to the Jop.
lin convention where the delegates
to the Democratic National Con.
vention are to be elected, and of
having sinister motives in so doing
That is not true in any sense !;
nor is it true that Hon. X. Il. See,
who was here in Mr.. Folks inter

Judge Fox, who WAS not a cltl.

Judicial nominating convention, so
that he could trade aud use 1t for

"Years Have Less Than Anything Else
to Do With Her Aging"

That a woman may not continue to
be a member of a young peoples
church society after she is 80 years
of age-according to the action of the
United Presbyterians of Greenville,
Pals a rule that may we'll be serious
" opposed. And to say that a woman
of 80 to too old to belong to a young
peoples bible class is quite preposter-
GUS
It is, of course, as absurd to say
that a woman of 80 is old as to say
that a woman of 40 or 80 is old. In
fact. it is quite possible to agree with
Amt Louisa Eldbridge when she says
on this subject:
Years have less than anything else
in the world to do with the aging of
woman There are some women who
never grow old, and some who have
never been young. Age is a matter
of temperament. a woman in her 30th
wear has lust awakened to the posi-
bilities Of life.
Save in the womans suffrage states,
where the age of a woman is made of
record in the registration lists, there is.
moreover. no way of determining when
\ woman is q or more. 1t is there
fore difficult to see how the Green
Vile system can be made practical. No
vouns woman of 80 in a bible class is
going to admit that fact. a woman Of
90 who looks to be q. or even IS, as so
MANY do. is a foolish creature when
she declares that she IS no longer eligi-
BILE for the young peoples society. And
if she is so foolish. where is she to go?
To the middle-aged study class. where
her bubblirg youth would be entirely
ont of place. or to the old folks bible
society. where she would appear mere
infant? Rather would she sever her
connections with church that made
