MR. TW|TN PAYS
TRIBUTE TO WILSON
Says President is Man of No
Ordinary Character.
ALL LIKE TO HONOR HIM.
Glad to See Such Good Report of
Methodist Church i'm Mt.
Carmel Section.
To the Editor of The News:

To the Editor of The News:
Harry Foster called to see us last
Sunday, took dinner and spent most
of the afternoon. We enjoyed his
company He Is outspoken and has
mind of his own and when he as
serts his principles he is unyielding.
We think he is much after his faith
er's style. He has been in politics
and knows persons in every section
of Lancaster and their characteris-
tics. In other words he is good
judge of human nature; at least
think so. He is interesting and able
to talk about men and things rapid
Iy and therefore you enjoy his style.
He attended the Presbyterian church
before he reached us. OF course,
that was the right thing to do and
it was evidence to me that he is
good Presbyterian. 1 asked him If
he married a Lancaster lady Zone or
two of his brothers found wives out
side of the county, which no doubt
Hbrompted the question: He said
no, that he married in Fairfield and
] found out that she belonged to the
A. r. p. church, and of course, is
good woman. There is no discount
on a genuine "Seceder," and our
friend Harry is to be congratulated
that he has captured such a prize.
His mission in this state (Georgia)
and section, as 1 surmised, was look
ing after the interest of clients, in
York county, South Carolina, who
have been selling their wares (bug-
gies, etc., in this section, perhaps
for years, and in all probability have
some bad debts on their hands.
hope Harry will be successful and
will come again.
Not long since 1 saw a publication
from some of the leading Catholics
of the country, which conveyed the
idea that they (the Catholic church)
were leaders in moral reform. The
church takes strong ground against
divorce laws as they are now enforc-
ed in this country. They condemn
modern dancing, some late novels and
especially condemn the late dresses
worn by the would-be fashion lead
ers. OF course, we all agree that
these things are wrong, but for the
Catholics to lead the Protestants in
such matters is the surprise. 1t
really looks as If the bottom rail
were on top. Let all churches fall IN
line and strike while the iron is hot,
not only as regards the evils men
toned above but other sins and
wrong doings.
al see that Brother Truesdale is
Vending his valuable services to a re-
vival meeting in your town and l
hope and believe that a moral uplift
will be the result. BY the way, 1t
looks to me that Brother Truesdale
is overworking his strength and will
soon break down. / see from The
Southern Christian Advocate U take
the paper) that he is in demand all
over the state, and as said, it looks
to me as if he is over worked. If
know the man or his ancestors, and
I think / do, he is not far from his
nativity when he is in Lancaster. /
have no doubt his relatives lin South
Lancaster and North Kershaw coun-
ties) are proud to acknowledge his
kinship and feel honored that they
have one so worthy Of praise.
President Wilson is getting every
thing he asks for. In other words he
is managing the boys. 1t is surpris-
ing what he can do. A man taken
from the ranks, without experience,
doing what he has done and is do
ing is no ordinary character. True
he has been a teacher, but has only
been in politics a few years. There
seems to be no friction. He (Wilson)
gives orders and they are obeyed.
All his subjects delight to do him
honor. The recent elections COM
pletely vindicated his policies and so
far as we can Judge his Mexican
policies suit everybody. and 1t is to
be hoped that war and bloodshed will
be averted By all means let the
country be saved from a conflict at
arms, and II 1t so turns out that war
with Mexico is averted, President
!, Wilson will deserve all the credit
therefor. =
Some writer's for The News fail to
sign their names thereto. am
sorry 1t is so. always want to
know the authQr of printed articles
and am sure most persons want the
genuine name to newspaper articles
so that its true merit can be esti-
mated. Let all such correspondents
take notice and govern themselves
accordingly Subscribe their names
to their articles, and not A. b. G. etc.
Rev. Mr.. Carter of the Lancaster
circuit recently reported upon the
standing OF the churches in the
bounds of his work and what he said
about Mt. Carmel was peculiarly in
teresting to me. ! often think OF the
church and fancy know its sur
roundings, but the report OF Brother
Carter convinces me that misjudged
the situation. / thought that since
Brothers Ruffin Bennett, w T. Van
Landingham and others left the
neighborhood and of those that re-
main who are Baptist (died in the
wool and hence no chance to break
into their ranks) that the country
but as said, misjudged the situa-
tion. Hear what Brother Carter
