SATURDAYS DAILY HERALD
IN GREAT DEMAND

While Saturdays Daily Herald ex-
ceeded the combined issue of the
Daily and Weekly Herald by over 500
copies, the supply is exhausted. One
man had the paper mailed to 100
names, while a number of merchants
and business men bought as many as
fifty copies each to mail out to
friends and to advertise Columbia.
The place the Daily holds with the
reading public was clearly shown
Thursday. AS this was Washington's
birthday, there was no delivery by
the rural carriers, hence our country
subscribers did not receive their
papers. Some of these subscribers
could not wait till today to get the
news, but drove to town and came to
the office for copy of Wednesdays

missed the paper SO much that they

DAILY SCRIPTURE READINGS.
For the Forty Days Of Lent.

Search the Scriptures"
What saith the Scriptures"
What words that speak unto you
they are spirit and they are life"
One of the duties of Lent is the
study Of Gods Holy Word. Many of
the Church's children feel the need of
some systematic outline for their BIZ
Bile reading-something shorter than
the Lessons appointed for use in the
services of the Church, and at the
same time some course taking in reg
ular order a special subject. The fol-
lowing order OF reading for private
use follows In chronological order the
events in the life of Christ from the
Temptation to the Crucifixion. In
Holy Week the main event of each
day is given, except the Tuesday Of
Holy Week, which is so full of the
acts and sayings of the Blessed Lord
that 1t is possible to give only very
small part
before reading the portion Of
Scripture appointed for each day,
kneel and say the following:l ~
Blessed Lord, who hast caused all
holy Scriptures to be written for our
learning: Grant that we may in such
wise hear them, read, mark, learn,
and inwardly digest them, that by
patience and comfort of thy holy Word
we may embrace, and ever hold fast,
the blessed hope of everlasting life,
which thou hast given us in our Saw
Jour Jesus Christ. Amen"

[From The Trtbuns RuEsau.l

Washington. Nov. 16.-Army officers do not

the 25th Infantry These Negro soldiers were
summarily separated from the army service on
account Of outrageous conduct at Brownsville
Tex, the military authorities declare in the in
terest Of discipline and example to other
troops who might be similarly inclined. The
soldiers of the 25th Infantry battalion had every
opportunity TO disclose the real offenders, and
when the investigators met with obstinate ST.
leuce the riotous conduct became that OF the
organization and not merely the acts of indi-
viduals.
The President simply supported the military
authorities in holding that those who had
shielded the wrongdoers were as guilty as the
latter, and as IT became impossible to discover
those who had committed the crimes 1t was
necessary. unless discipline TO be ignored,

nine years while forty-four had less than five
years service.
Those who fully understand the situation do
not perceive how any other action could have
been taken than that pursued by the President.
If he had ignored the situation they say, and the
rioting had been renewed at any time, the ad-
ministration would have come in for much
blame. II was out Of the question also 10 make
