God until these things are changed.
Especially are we surprised and as
tonished at the recent attitude OF the
church of Christ-.on the increase OF
a desire to bow to racial prejudice, TO
narrow the bounds Of human brother
hood, and to segregate black men In
some outer sanctuary. This is wrong
unchristian and disgraceful to the
twentieth century civilization.
or the above grievances we do not
hesitate to complain, and to complain
loudly and insIstently. To ignore, oV-
erlook, or apolize for these wrongs
is TO prove ourselves unworthy Of
freedom. Persistent manly agitation
is the way to liberty, and toward this
goal the Niagara Movement has start
ed and asks the cooperation Of all
men of all races.
At the same time we want to ac-
knowledge with deep thankfulness the
help of our fellowmen from the aboli-
ZIONIST down to those who today still
stand for equal opportunity and who
have given and still give of their
wealth and Of their property for our
advancement.
And while we are demanding, and

demand the rights enumerated above,
God forbid that we should ever forget
TO urge corresponding duties upon our
people:
The duty to vote.
The duty to respect the rights Of

The duty to work.
The duty to obey the laws.
The duty to be clean and orderly.
The duty to send our children to
school
The duty to respect ourselves, even
as we respect others.

were shipped over their line, t!
bulk of which came from beyond
the State. This whiskey was
consigned to Chesterfield and
Ruby, where there are no dispen
saries, and much of it was con.
signed to fictitious names. As
much of the whiskey which comes
to the Cheraw express office con
signed to points on the Chester
field and Lancaster Railroad is
taken out here and carried up
by hand, there is no way of tell
ing how much really is transport
ed by this road in the course of a
year. l. will be noted that the
record mentioned is for the past
Six months, and does not include
the Thanksgiving and Christmas
holidays, when the business is
supposed to be many times in ex-
cess of that or any other season
of the year. To keep the record
straight, it should be added that
while the books of the railroad
company show that freight was
paid on So tons of whiskey, that
these figures do not represent
accurately the amount carried, as
one quart or one gallon is billed
as one hundred pounds under the
regulations.

TO the Women of Lancaster

To the Women of Lancaster
County:
At the last meeting of the
Lancaster Chapter, DAUGHTERS
of the Confederacy, resolution
was adopted that a special ap.
peal be made to every woman
in Lancaster county to contri-
butte one dollar for the purpose
of erecting a monument to the
Confederate soldiers.
AS soon as this resolution was
adopted each of the IA women
present promptly handed to the
treasurer the amount requested
We want every woman in the
county to do likewise. The
amount now on hand is 81 900
and we wish to raise at least
ST. 800 more. This can easily
be done by the women alone if
they will all unite and help in
this worthy cause. This sacred
duty which we owe to the brave
men who obeyed their country's s
call and left home and family
to bat le for southern rights has
been 100 long neglected. Forty
long years has elapsed since the
remnants Of the most valiant
army that the world ever saw re-
turned to their desOlated homes.
We should delay no longer in
showing our appreciation of
their heroic devotion to duty by
erecting a suitable memorial in
enduring stone.

us yet,
Lest we forget lest we forget. "

ment in Saturdays issue of The
News, the Rev. r. Lee Robin
son, Of Camden, Ala, preached
in the Associate Reformed Pres
byterian church last Sunday,
both morning and evening, to
good congregations. His ser
mons were strikingly forceful
replete with originality, we'll de,
livered, and were greatly enjoy
ed by his appreciative hearers.
Mr.. Robinson's text at the
morning service was the 14th and
10Th verses of the k14th chapter
of St. Mary: And wheresoever
he shall go in, say ye to the
goodman of The house, The Mas
ter saith, where is the guest
chamber, where l shall eat the
passover with my disciples 2"
"And he will shew you a large
upper room furnished and pre-
pared: there make ready for
u.s."
Mr.. Robinson drew some in
teresting and instructive lessons
from his text. He first explain
ed the meaning of "guestcham
ber" and upper room," the
former being in Oriental coun
tries not the choicest room in
the house, as is generally the
case in this country, but the
chambe&in which guests place
their footwear andaIs, etc. =,
and also their saddles when they
come riding beasts of burden.
The guestChamber therefore Ie-
ferred to in the text was proba
bly, the most undesirable room
in the house for the purpose OF
occupancy. 1t was one 10 which
the host would never think of
assigning guest. The "upper
roOm," on ;he other hand, was
the best at the command OF the
host.
The man referred TO in the
text, whose name is not given,
was to be commended for giving
his Maker the very best he had.
He thereby set an example
which all mankind should fol-
low. A majority of the people
of today give the Lord the
"guest chamber" instead Of the
"upper room," reserying the
lat er for themselves. But com
paratively few PEOPLE cheerfully
give the Lord freely of the three
things required Of them: their
time, their possessions and their
personal service. Mr.. Robinson
strongly emphasized the signifi-
canoe of each of these require
ments, using for the purpose
apt illustrations. In conclusion
he showed how important 1T is
for man in every instance to give
the Lord his "upper room" in
this life if he expects to receive
the best at His hands in the life
to come, in that home of many
mansions.
As is we'll known to many of

A BIG BOOST
FOR OUR JIM
&ACY AND READABLE RECORD
OF TAWNEY's INSURGENCY.
Something for the Worst Families Of
Winona to Peruse and Pass Around
and Shake Their Heads About-A
Dangerous Type of Man Who Does
His Own Thinking.

New. York, Dec. 23.-The New York
Times Washington correspondent has
turned his attention to Congressman
James A. Tawney Of Minnesota in the
following dispatch to his paper:
The biggest news of the week, from
a congressional standpoint, has been
the announcement that James A. Taw-
ney of Minnesota was at the head of
new revolt. 1t was we'll known afore-
time that Tawney was the incorrigible,
untamable wild Indian of the republi-
can reservation, but for few days the
leaders of the house in the fifty-ninth
congress had an idea that they had sup.
pressed Tawnev by promoting him to
the craftsmanship of appropriations, tho
best committee in the house after ways
and means-indeed. the best committee.
anyway, except when big tariff bill
is under consideration.
1t was a painful mistake, based on
an utterly insufficient appreciation of
the extent to which James A. Tawney
does his own thinking He is not an
insurgent for the love of it; he is an
insurgent because he will think for
himself, and on occasion the path Of
thinking for ones self leads past the
machine line of march.
If you abruptly ask a discriminate
ing looker-on in Washington who are
the men Of real brains on the republi-
