l understand that Mr.. Ira T. Hall,

Office, is making the statement that
there must be and will be q change un-
der the new national administration. l
do not know where Mr.. Hall has secured
his information. but so far, I have not
learned that there is to be any change
and it seems a little unfair that Mr..
Hall should get signers to his petition
by claiming that he knows a change
will be made. AS l understand it the

what its course will be in regard to

Sunday Gatherings.

There was a time when camp
meetings PLAYED an important
part in the religious life of our
country, but by slow degrees
thev became conducive of more
evil than good; or at least so
thought The man who lead in
the work of the camp-meeting.
For a long time when churches
were widely scattered, and ef.
fective preachers were few, and
these few rad to travel over a
wide territory to reach their ap-
continents. it was economy of
lime. talent and strength for a
number of preachers and many
people to gather at camp grounds
for evangelistic endeavor, but
when charges became more COM
pact. and communities more
fhickly settled, it became the
Dol;cy to hold meetings in every
seperate church rather than at
) camp ground. This, together
with the fact already noted hat
more harm than good resulted
caused the abolishing OF the
camp-meeting.
But how was it that the pure
" social overran the spiritual.
and the camp-meetlng became
a failure and a source Of harm.
The people who made a Sunday
picnic out of the camp.meetlng
occasion would never have al
tempted a great Sunday picnic
independant of that occasion.
ANYTHING that furnishes oc-
casion for Sabbath desecratlon,
even if it be done in the name
of religion, is not all unmlxeo

evil. A Sunday gathering OF

which is at least doubtful.
Here's the case as we see 1t:
The picnic-the social inter
course is the feature. The sing
ing is the occasion. As in the
care of the camp-meeting no one
would get up big Sunday pic
mic independent of the camp
meeting yet hundreds took ad-
vantage of the occasion. Our
young people in this Christian
country would not think Of a
Sunday picnic all by itself. Inc
all day singing furnishes the
occasion, and for most Of those
who attend the singing is only
secondary. Thereforefor most
of them a purely social picnic
occasion with a band Of music
playing sacredairs would be
about the same thing.
This is not true of the leaders

The Old Soldiers.

In anOther column appears d
very strong article by Mr.. B. G.
johnson calling attention to the
nigardly appropriations for pen
sions to the old soldiers in this
State and the unjust discrimi-
nation in distributing the same.
There is much in what he says
for serious thought, but as the
wears go by the younger genera
tons less and less think OF the
sacrifices and hardships OF these
brave and manly men until, in
many instances, their valor and
heroism has been almost for
gotten.
The average politician no
longer caters to or solicits the
vote of the old veteran because
their ranks are getting thinner
and thinner each year, but they
are lost sight of in the scramble
and the element which can cast
the largest number of votes are
the ones now sought after.
The politician always plays
his strongest card and pulls on
the most popular string. If it
be dispensary, or education, or
road and internal Improvement,
or lower taxes; whatever he be-
lieves to be the winning card is
the one he plays, and the old
soldier is entirely forgotten.
This shows the demagoguery in
the average politician.
Carolina could we'll af-
ford to give a million dollars a
year to her old veterans. She
could do this and not raise the
taxes one particle by reducing
expenses along other lines. For
example, more money is appro-
priated year by year for higher
education than can be judicious-
IL used, and there are many
minor and unimportant officers
who are paid from the public
treasury that could be reduced
or entirely eliminated.
We owe the old soldiers a debt
which we can never pay. These
men were once the possessors of
happy homes, bouyant, vigor-
Gus and proud, but for the
honor Of our Southland, for the
protection of home, honor and
our sacred rights, laid them
selves on the alter of sacrifice.
They gave up all. home, loved
ones and happiness, and went to
the front to endure hardship,
privatations, the loss Of limb.
life and property for us. And
now in their old age and declin-
ing health they need our sym
pathy and substantial help.
Everyone of them should be on
the pension roll. No differen ;e
or distinction should be made
between the true soldiers.
South Carolinians where is
your gratitude? Nothing is ex-
-pee5ed OF the politician, for he
is after votes, but the chival-
rous men of the State should
have pride and manhood enough
to say to the politician for once
YOU must make provision to
care for the old soldiers.
