CROWD HEAR GOOD ROADS Lee
TURE.
Road Pictures Exhibited at Lyric
Friday Afternoon.

The exhibition Of the Good Roads
pictures sent out by the United States
government and the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad Company took place
Friday afternoon at the Lyric in
stead Of at the passenger station as
they were scheduled to appear for the
reason that 1t was thought that there
would be much better crowd at
the Lyric and more people would
have the opportunity Of seeing the
pictures and hearing the lecture
which was delivered by Mr.. Boykin,
the government good roads expert.
While the attendance at the train
to see the good roads exhibit was not
as large as 1t was hoped it would be,
1t was fairly creditable and it was
stated by the officials in charge Of
the train that it was above the aver
age for towns of the size Of sumter.
Much interest seemed TO he manifest
by those who visited the train IL
the various kinds Of road building
materials md many questions about
the work were asked.
The illustrated lecture at the
Lyric, which Manager j. H. Grady
very kindly allowed the use OF for
this purpose free Of charge, was we'll
attended, the many patrons Of the
popular amusement resort being
present to see the usual motion pic
ture films and number Of others
being present to see the good roads
pictures. The lecture consisted Of
much which was said last summer
when Mr.. Winslow gave his illustrat-
ed lecture at the Lyric and many of
the pictures were identical with those
seen here previously. Mr.. Boysin's
lecture and explanation Of the pic
lures and the progressive effects of
good roads was listened to with at
tertion and interest.
After his lecture was finished
Sumter's Cotton Picture" a history
ct the picking and shipping ot the
cotton. was shown on the curtain and
;he pictures explained by Sec'etary
Smell. Afterwards the usual motion
pictures were exhibited.

LARGE AUDIENCE HEARS DIR
JONES.
Makes An Impressive Address to His
Audience of Men and Boys.

The Rev. Howard Lee Jones Of the
Citadel Square Baptist Church made
an eloquent and impressive address to
a large audience Of men and boys at
the Opera House Sunday night. He
spoke Of the need Of the Men and Re-
ligion Forward Movement and of the
good that 1t had done the whole
country and how 1t was rapidly
spreading.
His address was interesting from
start to finish and he was heard with
the strictest attention. IIis leading
point was that the church must con-
form to modern and changing condi-
tions so as TO do the most Eood
where Ii was needed. The Men and
Religion Forward Movement was a
movement which reached men and
boys everywhere and did much good
wherever campaigns had been wag-
ed to carry 1t on. He stated that he
had started out with the idea that
was similar to the Men and Religion
Forward Movement. Their movem ents
which had little life in them at
the start. but from which that life
quickly died. He had found that 1,
was different and ne had become a
convert. There could be movement
without life, but there could not be
lie without movement and the Men
and Religion Forward Movement was
the movement which was the result
OF that life In religion.
The meeting was opened by the
singing Of hymn. followed by pray-
er by the Rev. ]. p. Marion of the
presbyterian church. Mr.. Barlow
Walsh. as temporary chairman
OF the Men and Religion Forward
Movement campaign. acted as chair
man OF the meeting. He intr .Guced
the speaker in few fitting wo. Is.
After the mass meeting the com
/ WditCu W see ABOUT q
permanent organization for the
movement in Sumter. went into the
details Of what had to be done, and
Mr.. Jones explained fully what
had been done In Charleston and
what 1t was the intention of the
committee to do there. After listen
ing to these details given by Mr.,
Jones It was decided to find out
more about the matter before a per-
manent organization was formed. The
matter as to what part Of the work,
which was shown to be Of great ex-
tent. should be taken up in Sumter
was left to the ministers of the citv.
who. as the leaders in religious move
ments In Sumter. 1t was thought
could best decide on what the needs
were here and the part Of the work
that would best suffice for these
noeds.

THE GOLDEN QUEST.

The old year wanes and the shad-
ows OF twilight gather softly about its
.. passing. For a moment I pause and
look back along the great roadway
where have Jared. There has been
much Of high hope and endeavor,
somewhat Of disappointment and
weariness. here and there sunlit
gleam Of JOY and peace; but my hand
has garnered little. so little. Of life's
real accomplishment. Yet may
not bide with the dead hopes Of the
evening; for already the dawn Of the
new year hovers glimmering along
the eastern hills. and must press
forward upon my Golden Quest.
And so go forth

worth; learning the perfect service
OF the sunbeam. the perfect Joy of
the wood bird. the perfect faith of
the field flower, the perfect purity of
the dew-drop, the perfect peace of
the star; opening my heart to the
tender ministry of the trees and the
hills and the shallow brooks. even ss
a little child:
And Gcntleness
with that perfect trust In my fellow
man which springs from perfect truth
In myself; not STOPPING to suspicion
and envy OF others. and eager to for
get all bitterness and malice toward
myself; despising the low pettiness of
the sneer and the mean paltriness of
the slander; bearing with nv BROTH
er In his weakness. comforting him
In his sorrow. rejoicing with him in
his Joy:
And Honor
that honor which grows out OF I'M
swerving truth to myself: which
measures Right. not by the standard
OF man. but by the standard of Truth;
which makes me Indifferent to the at
tack OF my enemy and worthy OF the
love OF my friend: which fears the
scrutiny neither OF Hate nor Of Love
nor Of my own Soul:
And Clean Mirth
