Unique is the proposition of the
Sumpter County News, which sug-
gests that displays of holiday goods
should be forbidden by law, because
they tempt people to buy. and EN-
barrass those who are unable to buy,
but who might be asked to do SO by
their children. Carrying out thia
proposition to it's logical conclusions,
merchants should be prohibited by
law from advertising their goods In
the Sumpter County News, because
a display ad in a newspaper and q
display in a window have exactly the
same purpose in view-tO tempt the
public to buy goods. Editor Williams
must pray every night Lead not tho

Gives Up Passionate.
Baltimore, Md.-The Rev. William
Wilberforce Coston, one of the most
scholarly clergymen in the Baltimore
conference of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, has withdrawn from the
church. The reason for his withdraw
al is that, being bachelor, his pro-
gress in the ministry is mpeded.
Albert Loose and George Cook, two
leading members of Chatsworth
church, of which DR.. Costin was the
pastor, told today why he had left the
church. Mr.. Loose said:
81 know that DR.. Costin has not
been swayed by monetary consider
atins, because he has declined po-
sitions in colleges that would have
paid him $4,000 year or more. He
loves the ministry, but he wants to
have the promotion that he deserves,
and he is tired OF having district su-
perintendents and finally the bishop
tell him that he will have to get mar
ried If he expects to advance in his
profession in the Baltimore confer
encs."
Mr., Cook said DR.. Costin had been
mentioned for district superintendent
but it was found that there was an
unwritten law that this position
could not be given to bachelor.
DIR. Costin himself would only say;
''The less said about my resignation
the better for me and for the Balti.
