alleviate the suffering and save the
child but God called and the little
fellow went to join the other broth

nine summers, much beloved by his

been adopted in a modified degree IN
Newiberry with our City clock.
We have a clock that keeps excel
lent time and seems to be perfectly
regulated, for I have noticed for the
past three or four months it has been
Just exactly four. minutes slow, which
shows that if it were properly set, 1t
would keep correct time. Last week,
it suddenly changed and now it IS
running about eight minutes fast,
and I notice this morning that the
Graded school bell has adapted itself
to this time. This undoubtedly causes
embarrassment and useless trouble to
many mothers in town in getting
their children off to school nearly ten
minutes earlier these late mornings,
and besides it causes trouble and in
convenience with the business man
who usually has watch that keeps
the correct time, and he is thereby
forced, in making or keeping engage
ments, to guess whether he shall act
by the correct time or by the city
time.
This could be easily remedied by
asking Mr.. Strickland at the Tele-
oraHh office the correct time. setting
the clock by that time and then we
would all know "where we are at. -
If nobody else will attend to it,
would suggest, Mr.. Idler, that you
look after it yourself for you tell us
that you have nothing to do and |
am satisfied that your time would be
occupied in a good cause, if you
would look after it.

Now, that is very nice and I feel
highly eomplimented for tobe a gen.
tleman Of leisure, whose only business
is to look after the comfort and hap
piness and welfare Of the people Of
the community, is a distinction a
citizen less important than I am
might be proud of. Of course I will
have this bell or clock matter attend
ed to at once. It is too bad to have
our people going too fast and it was
equally as bad to have thepa moving
100 slow. 1t is just as easy to have
the right time and the town clock
ought to be the standard, but you
know bigger towns than Newberry
have had trouble regulating their
town clocks. Columbia, for instance.
Now, Mr.. Mayor, cant you have this
town clock adjust itself and get the
correct time every day at noon? Sup
pose you try it. I want to report on
it Friday. Do it now.
How would it do fot Uncle Briggs
to get an opihie.i as to whether or
not the old couft house could be sid:
The more I think a bout his sugges-
ton the more I am getting around to
his idea. Almost anything will be
better than what We have now. The
town could buy it and put up park
all around it. Of course, the price
would not be large. I would be op-
posed to selling it to individuals or
private parties. It would take con-
siderable money to put it in condl-
ton for a library or rest room, but
once repaired it would be al excel

public meetings. We have SOME sort

The Columbia State is fearful that if they ever begin cutting up States to settle local quarrels there may come a time when the national flag will not hold all the stars that will want a place in 1t. There might be danger of overriding the job. but some of the States are large enough to be cut in- ! to smaller parts and still be large enough. When we look at Rhode Is- land at one extremity and Texas at the other we can see the vast differ ence in area, and between those two extremes there are States of almost every size. Texas would make half a-dozen States and each large enough for all practical purposes, and there are others that could well bear divid- ing, but when it comes to the work of division there Is always difficulty about satisfying all localities. and per haps it will always be the case. It is not an easy matter to divide a State satisfactorily.

THE ALABAMA ATLAS.

Judge weakiey. the Alabama Atlas, who with help of the other two mem, bers of the Great Trlumvirate. Rev. Brooks Lawrence and Governor B. B. Conner, las arranged all mundane af- fairs for the people of Alabama, threatened in his speech at the court house Thursday night to have the Methodists of Alabama remove the Methodist woman's College from Montgomery if saloons were ever opened again. in this city, Never di,I our Atlas appear more egotisticaI than he did in this declaration. with his purpose plain and with confidence that he would be able to carry out his t.'reat. Intolerance assurediy has gone forward with gigantic strides. when the representative of a political cause utters such statements.
 Judge weakiey should know, and if he did know he suppressed the fact that the Methodist woman's College was located in Montgomery when no one was giving thought to the saloons or prohibition question. When the leaders of the Meth odist Church accepted the liberal of- fer made by the City of Montgomery and wisely decided to build their col lege in this city. noted for intelligence and for culture 1t was upon the basis of securing the right place.
 The people of Montgomery mani- college and of their own funds gladly gave s50,oo0 to the institution. Prom- inent members of that church in Montgomery assisted by patriotic Montgomerian gave a splendid site of fifty-eight acres adjoining the city, and which is now easily worth a thousand dollars an acre. It would be good business for the Methodists to adopt Judge Weskley's suggestion. They could sell the land. add the pur- chase price to the s50.0oo given them  by the people of Montgomery and with that s1os.ooo move the college to Bir- mingham. that city, so famous for its quiet and good order Birmingham, no doubt, would give them an equal sum for the college, but the Meth odists of Alabama are not the kind of people to follow such a suggestion, which involves the breaking of a di- rect contract. We present that threat to them. however, as an example of Judge Weakley's leadership.
 What is justice. what is a contract, what is a pledged word, what are facts --that they should be considered when man is making a plea for the amendment and incidentally to ad- vance his own political fortunes?

CATCHING AND HARNAssrNG.

We call to mind an old couplet, re- ferring to electricity, which ran some- thing like this:
 Twas Franklin's hand that caught Twas harnessed by Professor Morse. but we suspect that if the Professor were living he would admit that he did little more than sput the bride on the animal Most of the harness has been put on since his day, though it must be admitted that he showed the way 1t could be done by others who came after him. He proved to the world that messages could be sent over a wire by electricity, but he was far from foreseeing the many other uses to which the fluid could and would be put. It may be that those who came after us will see wonders as surprising as have followed the first experiments with electricity. Morse could not look half a century or more ahead and see what would be done, and though 1t may seem to us now that there cannot possibly be such developments as this generation has witnessed we cannot be sure of it. We know something of the past and present, but nothing of the fu- ture.

There is liable to be much confus- ion over correct convictions on the pending amendment question. some contend 1t Is whislSey or no whiskey: some contend 1t Is prohibition or no prohibition. We do not agree with either. true temperance man can oppose the amendment and not offend any true moral or religious convic- ton. Many true temperance men op- pose prohibition. Temperance is be- yond doubt moral ouestion-yea' heavenly virtue. NO drunkard or glutton shall enter the kingdom or heaven" When man is temperate for his own good and. too for sake of his neighbors, then he has heaven. ly virtue. The man in jail can't steal or kill or do any known crime to in- jury of another, but are these virtues In him behind iron bars? They are "Statss aprtseas svtstuessvs lsows is.s hts' heart?

Then he has not the real vir- tue. Tear down the prison wall or the mail and he will get it:
 We have prohibition over the whole state--State- wide prohibition--the drastic Fuller bill and han dozen otn- CT bills. Many men. temperance men, abstinence men, prohibition men say. let the law stand and be tested where it is; do not favor its going into the Constitution. It Is now in one book, the Code; I oppose its go- ing into another book-the Constitu- tion-the Code Is main place for It; there it has a penalty and can be en- forced: In the Constitution 1t will be without power" is this moral ques- tion? It Is not moral question to say we have prohibition in most drastic form (so say they who drew 1t and voted for it). but We want 1t in the Constitution? It is not immor- al to say yes--we have the tightest of the kind in the world and that is enough.
