voters were probably various; some
doing so for strictly moral reasons,
others for business reasons, and still
others in hopes of that being a step
toward high license. One advantage
which the close of Mannings dispen-

crease Of trade to Summerton.

r. Dingle who have not long since
returned from the recent session Of
the State Legislature. Both of these
gentlemen farm quite extensively near
this place. and one of them, Mr.. Din
gle has become a noted corn and
oats raiser. He will probably again
enter the State contest after having
once already carried off the prize for
the largest production Of corn to the
acre. We must not expect Mr.. Scar
borough to devote his closest atten-
ton to his farm, as we understand
that he has something Of greater i'm
portance to occupy his time. In view
OF his prospective race for railroad
commissioner in the next campaign,
we wager that he will not be idle
during the intermediate months. For
as was said of "Col. Davy Crockett
(whose coons always came down Of
their own accord when they saw him
walking around the tree) he general
ly goes after what he wants, and is
pretty sure to get what he goes after.

Farmers Ready for New CrOp-Base.
ball Season Opens-Persona
Note.

Summerton. March 22.-With one
accord merchants. farmers. and
sportsmen alike are getting in shape
for another seasons business. Heavy
freight Is being received daily, and in
the stores clerks are engaged dis
playing the new goods which Dame
Fashion has seen fit to put on the
market. This seems to signify a ris-
ing wave Of business activity in that
direction.
On the farms, preparations for an
other crop are being pushed forward
with unusual rapidity. Owing to the
phenomenally mild winter, greater
progress than is customary for this
time of the year has been made.
Most of our large farmers have plant
ed corn; and some who desired so to
do were delayed on account of the
scarcity of corn-planters. The de-
mand for these machines has been so
great that our two hardware stores
(Summerton and Colclough Hard
ware Co.'s) have been unable to meet

In the field Of sport the "ball was
started rolling" on Friday afternoon
by a game between the town team
and the High School boys, resulting
in victory for the town. For a
week or more, the Baseball Park has
been alive in the afternoons with
players who are practicing for the
coming season. Summerton takes
great interest in baseball, and al

HE HAS RAISED TROUBLE.

Now 1t comes about that a Brook lyn preacher Is liable to have all of New England on his head, by sneer- ing at the Puritans and publicly re- ferring to them as "a band of luna ties" Not only Massachusetts. where the Puritans first hit the American continent, but all the rest of New England will resent such an appella- tion as applied to their first settlers.
 The Hartford Times, for example, says that lunatics were about the last thing they were" though 1t prob ably doesn't mean that they develop ed into that condition after they landed on our shores. "They were," says The Times. "a body of men who believed with all their hearts in a theological doctrine ana meant to en- force 1t among themselves. They made their laws for their own little group, and they compelled recognition of them. If they were alive today they would see things very differently be- cause all the conditions have changed. It may be that too many of their pro- scrlptions have fingered into a new time; it may be that they were too harsh for their own time. but they had suffered for their belief and when they were free from outside control they did what they believed to be re- quired by the faith they held, whether 1t restrained them or restrained oth- CTS from yielding to natural impulses New England itself is a proof that the men who made 1t were not fools."
 It is not perhaps to be wondered at that a New England newspaper de- fends the Puritans. They were in some sense the founders of that sec tion. Their treatment of the Indians was in many instances unjust and ac- tually dishonest, as all know who have read the history of those times and events, but possibly they acted according to their lights. As The Times remarks, they had been op- pressed and persecuted for their re- ligion in the old country. and when they found themselves free they didn't
The Montgomery advertiser., 1909-12-29

know how to appreciate liberty. In some respects they were bound harder In New. England than they were in the old country. for here they were bound by fetters of their own forg- ing.
 There is no need to try to excuse or paIliate the intolerance and bisotry of those early Puritan settlers of New England. All that we of this enlight- ened age may do is to laugh at them or pity them. or both. When we now read of the laws and ordinances pass ed and enforced by them we can only wonder how Intelligent human beings could be so utterly bigotted and nar- row-minded. Both religious and per- sonal liberty were disailowed and the whole lot of them hardly dared breathe except by rules laid down by their elders. Just what they would do or think if any of them were now living is not for any one to imagine, for we cannot put them in our place. any more than we can put ourselves in theirs.

 Those who gave credence to the claim of Dr. Cook to have reached the north pole need not be disconcerted by the verdict that his cIaim is unfound- ed, or the gleeful self-satisfaction of the first.

 Nor on the ather hand. need those who now loudly proclaim Cook as the greatest faker that eyer lived, plume themselves upon having anticipated the verdict of history.
