The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union Of South Carolina cele-
brated its silver anniversary Septem-
Der 1915, 1908, at Bamberg.
This organization has toiled and
struggled on amid difficulties and dis
couragements through these 25 years
Only the ones who have had the work
in charge know what the struggle has
been. Their labor has not been IN
vain. Eeternity alone will reveal
what has been accomplished. The
year just closed was one of the best
in its history.
The work of the ". G. T. I. has
grown in every way: there is increas-
ed interest in the various depart
ments fostered by the W. c. I. u.
The attendance of delegates was con-
siderably larger tt an last year. Moth
mig but heartfelt love for the work
will cause busy women from all parts
Of the Stale to pay full railroad fare
to attend such a convention.
One encouraging feature was the
organization Of a State Loyal Tenn
perance Legion. After listening to
Col. C. C. Featherstone's address one
was made to feel that the only safe
solution of the whiskey question is
abolition of the whole whiskey busi-
ness.
Prof. Guilds said: "Intemperance
has absolutely no place in the build
ing of character. His address was
uplifting. Mrs. Deitrick's presence
added more to the life Of the conven-
ton than words can tell. Her ad-
dresses were entertaining and help
full. She said: "The Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union is trying to
life the world higher" In her talk
on "Tools Of Service'' she named
three tools: First, conservation; Sec
ond, watchfulness; third, courage.
The president 5 splendid address was
listened to with considerable inter-
est.
The audience enjoyed Mrs. R. B.
Cannon's convincing address on med
ical temperance. Mrs. G. D. Stanley's
sketch Of the national W. G. T. U.
gave US some idea Of the great work
of that body.
Mrs. J. L. Minis fine paper on lit
erature was enjoyed by all. Rev. T.
G. Herbert, by his tho9ghtfulness. ad-
ded much to the pleasure of the con-
vention.
It made one feel glad to hear the
words of welcome from the mayor
Of Bamberg.
! The hospitality Of the people Of
Bamberg convinced one that those
who made addresses Of welcome spoke
the truth. Telling the best things ac-
complished by each local union was
considered very interesting feature
Of the convention.
The W. C. T. U. organ of this
State is no longer to be The Bulletin,
but Palmetto White Ribbon.
Misses Black and Delk deserve spe-
cial mention for the kind way they
treated the delegates. We are glad
the next W. C. T. Z. convention is
to meet in Columbia. This should
mean busy year to the temperance
people here, for when the convention
comes it must not find US dead, but
very much alive. "Our lives here are
mostly in the power Of other lives,
and each Of US is bound to be his
brothers KEEPER

PREJUDICE.
u L. Not Always Merely an unreason-
able Judgment.

able Judgment.
What is prejudice? Is it always
something unreasonable? Is it to
be regarded as necessarily an in
truder among the more sober activ-
tiles of the mind? Is it an enemy
of clear thinking--the counterfeit
of a true judgment: On the con-
trary, there is a certain form OF
prejudice which admits of defense.
There is a prejudice which has a
proper place in the mind and must
Be reckoncd with as natural factor
in our thinking and not as an alb
normal and disturbing element. 1t
is very easy to insist that reason
should be free Of prejudice. But
no one maintains consistently and
continuously so high an ideal in
practice. 1t is not merely that
prejudices will steal in despite our
most vigilant guard and in the face
eff protest and serious effort on our
part to drive them out. But in a
certain sense there is a true func-
ton for prejudice to perform amid
the varied activities of the mind. A
prejudice is not always an unreason-
able judgment. 1t may be merely
unreasoned. And there is vast diff
ference in this distinction, for the
Judgment which is simply unreason-
ed may prove in the course of events
to be eminently reasonable and as
| such, even in its unreasoned form,
may serve a most useful purpose in
our thinking.
These unrcasoned judgments are
absolutely indispensable in the econ.
omy Of our mental life. If We ex'
cluded all judgments which are not
accompanied by satisfactory proof
Of their validity, a tremendou:
waste of time and energy would re
suit, for it is a fundamental law o.
our intellectual activity that tn,
processes of reason by which we ar
rive at certain conclusions Otter
drop out of memory. But the con
illusions themselves remain as per
manent deposit of knowledge. TIL,
proof which we once knew and per
fectly understood may be forgotten
but the truth which it established
is lodged permanently in the mind
The history of its origin we nj
longer remember. 1t appears, there
fore, as a detached Judgment
