n. G. Mr.. Cox has not yet arrived,
but is expected here Saturday. Mr..
III. M. Swami, formerly of Charlotte,
is stewart and looks after the feeding
OF the visitors. A force of walters,
cooks, bell boys, etc, has been secur-
ed. and seemingly everything is pre-
pared to run along smoothly. At
present there Is a sense of newness
about the building and a strong smell
OF fresh paint, but otherwise things
are going along. as If the hotel had
been in operation for a number of
weeks. instead of having Just been
opened.
The opening was by no means a for
NAL event. Although a number of
guests registered for dinner Thursday,
II was not decided until in the after
non to open UP the building to the
public for the night. There were 3S
guests to spend the first night after
the hotel had opened and Friday q
great many others registered at the
hotel From indications 1t can be
judged that the hotel will Immediately
receive a fine patronage and will be
kept well filed with guests. 7
The news stand and cigar stand
opened mp Friday with Mr.. Henry
Brinkley IN charge. This feature is
run by Mr.. j. e. King of this city and
Mr.. w. II. Strange has opened up a
barber shop in the building.

SINGLE TERM BILL INTACT.
presidential Restriction Passes Safe
ly Through Hot Fight i'm Senate.

Washington, Jan 31.-The Senate
today defeated every ATTEMPT to
amend the Works single six-year Pres
idential term resolution. When re-
cess was taken tonight it appeared
certain that a final vote on the pro
posed constitutional amendment would

ents were musterlng all possible

AS the measure emerged from the
days fight in the Senate, it still pro-
Vldes for one term of six years for the
chief Executive, and make ineligible

the past held the Office by election cr
by succession. The closest votes of the
day came on Senator Owens amend
ment for a direct popular vote or
President and Vice President, defeated
35 to 80, and Senator Paynter's amend
ment to lengthen to six years the term
Of the President who might be in Of
flee when the constitutional amend
ment was finally ratified This was
defeated SO to 80.
Proposals for two four-year terms
and one four year term. suggested to
modify the resolution so it would not
affect Taft, Wilson or Roosevelt, and
amendments to make it apply only to
Presidents elected after it's ratification
were all defeated by large majorities
Progressives and Republicans who
declared themselves friendly to Col
Roosevelt again led a fight against the
entire resolution. The Progressives de-
clared it was against the American
government principles TO limit the
right Of the people to choose a Presi-
dent. Senator Crawford insisted it
was aimed at Col. Roosevelt
I'VE are asking the American peo~
pie to foreclose themselves from the
right to call into their service the man

be hanging" declared Senator Craw-
ford. I'VE have no fear of a despot."
NO we are not afraid of a despot,"
retorted Senator Williams; neither

Trains Delayed by Breakdown.

Train No. 53 over the Atlantic Coast
Line was delayed more than an hour
Friday night by a breakdown Of the
engine between Columbia and Sumter
and Saturday morning No. 81 was two
hours late on account Of a mishaD to
the engine.
Saturday morning the steel tire for
the driving wheel became loosened
near EastOver and another engine had
to be sent out from Columbia to take
the train on to Florence. When the
first engine was detached from the
train the steel rim of the driving
wheel fell off, showing how loose it
had become and how near the train
came to having serious wreck.

self His great power, and begun His

above Scripture (Revelation iii, 21) will
be fulfilled when He comes again John
xiv, 81. For the Lord Himself shall

shall we (the overcomers) ever be with
the Lord q Thessalonians iv, 16).
IF We suffer we shall also reign with

Q.-when Moses descended from Mt.
Sinai after his interview with the Lord
God, the record states that his face
shone so brightly, that the people could
not gaze upon it and because of this
he was obliged to wear a vail wher
appearing in the presence of the con-
gregation of Israel. Would we under
stand that this arrangement was only
for the time being, or did his face con-
tinue to shine and thus necessitated
continuous wearing of the vail?
Answer-While Moses was very
handsome man, according to the ac-
counts given in the writings of the Old
Testament, yet he was far from being
as noble and splendid looking as the
Lord Jesus. This was necessarily so,
as Jesus was a perfect man, and Moses
was imperfect and blemished by rea-
son of the fact that his father was of
the condemned and perverted race OF
mankind, marred by the many CEN
turtles of the degeneration Of the race.
Moses was a type of Christ, and as the
mediator of the Law Covenant repre-
scented Christ as the Mediator of the
New Covenant, which will be estab-
lished with the house of Israel and al
the world after the work of this Chris
tian Era has been accomplished. AS it
was impossible for the people to gaze
upon the glorious radiance streamini
from the face of Moses after he had
assembled into the mountain and be-
came the Law giver, so it will be i'm
possible for the world of mankind to
see the Christ glorifed. Even as the
vail concealed the glory of Moses. so
the antitypicaI wall" the impossibility
of a human being actually seeing a
spirit being, will conceal the marvellous
glory Of the Christ. We are not in
formed in the Scriptures as to whether
Moses continued to wear the vail or
not

stress upon mere things. We care
particularly for appearances. We give
more thought to what we shall wear
and eat, and how we shall live and
enjoy ourselves, than our American
forebears ever did. Now the principal
objection to all this is that it shifts
the emphasis to the wrong departments
of life. over and over again we need
to be reminded that while man has a
body, he is an immortal spirit. Su-
preme thought should be given to SUI
preme things. Whatever in US is of
God should receive first and highest
consideration. To put ones clothes
ahead of ones spirit is to impeach ones
own soundness of judgment Give God
the right of way in life, and all lesser
concerns will fall into their right rela-
