the way people vote, and the kind OF

the members from NeWberry knew

did not ask me to occupy their seats
so that | might hear what was going
on, nor did they invite me to go to the
club with them, nor even to go out to
lunch. Well, reckon they we're busy
passing laws for US to abide by or to
violate. They have a rule in the house
by which no one but members and

UNFORTUNATE.

The controversy between the Jul
versity president and the Winthrop
nresident is unfortunate. A lot OF
testimony taken by the committee and
charges made were entirely foreign to
the question at ISSUE The question
involved was the charge made by Gov.
Blease that he understood that the
president of the University had sign
ed q naper of some kind asking the
Peabody board to give the University
a certain amount of money, and ask
ing or agreeing if that was done that
a large sum be given to the education,
as Gov. Blease expressed it, OF free.
niggers". The governor cited Presl-
dent Johnson of Winthrop as authori-
ty for the statement that such pa
per or agreement was in existence.
That is all there was to it. The agree
ment was produced.
AS to whether there was anything
wrong in the signing of such an agrre-
ment is another question altogether.
President Johnson made no charges
along that line. He stated that the
appeal of, the university possibly
knocked Winthrop out of large sum
which would have been given. That
may be a matter of opinion.
If there was nothing wrong in sign
ing the agreement why get so excited
about it. The governor charged that
if President Mitchell signed a
paper agreeing that if the Uni
versity were given &C. cain
sum of money by the Peabudy
board for the education of
negroes in the South, President
Mitchell had no part in the education
al system of the State under his ad-
ministration. That was the charge
and that was what was to be investi-
gated.
President Mitchell, along with a
number Of other college presidents,
signed the paper. Was there anything
wrong in it. That is the question.
There no doubt is difference of opinion
on the question. Our judgements may
be biased by our interests or our view
point 1t is unfortunate that it has
been made the occasion for charges
and counter charges between
President Mitchell and Dr.. Johnson.
1t is unfortunate that all the State
colleges, expecting to be benefciaries
of the Peabody fund, did not unite
in their appeal and agree beforehand
what each would ask. Then we might
have received more. All these
charges can result in no good to our
educational interests.
Still we had just as we'll keep the
record straight and not undertake to
muddy the water.

Now, over in the senate they are
more quiet. The senator from New
berry didn't see me either, or if he
did he did not rush out and express
his great pleasure of meeting a citiz-
en- from his home county. He looked
like he was in great pain, but l hope
l was mistaken in thinking so, for to
have the burden of the. State upon
your shoulders is hard enough without
having to suffer bodily pain. He did
mt rise and address the president
while | was in the senate. Over there
you can just walk right in the same

will stop YOU And there was Fred.
Schumpert to bid you welcome, when
he is not to busy with the ladies. He
has some sort of job there which
makes it necessary for him to give
special attention to the ladies. On
the contrary there is man sitting at

Mr.. Kibler and Mr.. Wyche were talk
ing a good deal, but Mr.. Mower, he
didn't say anything. Well, it is all
right. The least they do the better

When / read the wall Of the county
superintendent of education about the
stamps being out, | was reminded OF
a lecture l heard many years ago, |
think by a DR.. Steele, if l am not mis-
taken a Methodist minister. He was
lecturing about the war and was tell
ing about the trials and hardShips
endured by the women of the South.
Among other things he told about the
scarcity of salt, and how they used
to dig up the dirt in the meat houses
in those days the meat houses had
no foors-and how they would pour
it in a hopper and run water through
it like they used to do to make lye out
of hickory ashes, and he asked if you
had ever thought of the effect of the
announcement that the salt is out. For
the stamps to be out is almost as bad
as for the salt to be out-both pretty
deplorable situations-especia when
you can get neither. l read in a paper
the other day about a DR.. Steele being
pastor of Methodist church in Co.
lumbia. l was wondering if it is pos
sible that this can be the same man I
heard lecture some years ago. If
could find out would be tempted to
go to hear him preach

To Transfer This Design.

Tut a cake OF soap Oaundry will do,
in a pint OF hot water. stir vigor-
ously and remove the soap. Satu-
rate this design with the soap and water
mixture then remove the excess moisture
by partially drying the saturated design
or by applying a sheet of blotting paper.
Place the material or fabric TO which the
design is to be transferred on hard.
fat surface. and lay the design face
down upon the material. Cover with
dry sheet of thick paper or two folds OF
newspaper and with the bowl of a table
spoon rub. pressing hard. until the design
is entirely transferred. being careful TO
rub from rather than toward you.
When rubbing you can see IL enough
pressure is being applied by lifting the
corner of the design TO note how Well
il is taking. Do not wet the material
nor rub the face of the design with damp
fingers. To remove the design lines after
the article is completed wash in warm
water with soap. The entire process Is
very simple. and with little care you
can easily make perfect transfers to any
kind of goods.

(Acts. 2:1D. and it proves the mercy of
the Father, who gives to every child
a personal and direct message. The same
thing is accomplished at home when we
seek to have every man, woman and
child in our land the owner of a Bible.
Our Bible societies are laboring to this
end constantly, and every minister urges
his people, young and old. to. possess each
one his or her own Bible, since it is a
whom He has created We are beginning
to name our Sunday schools 'Bible
schools" and with good reason: for while
the purpose of these schools is to lead
souls to Christ that He may redeem them,
1t Is also necessary that they should be
instructed, as was Timothy Oh Timothy,
3:15), and led to know the story of Him
who died for them. No school is fulfill
ing it's purpose unless it makes the Bible
the corner stone of its teaching.
What is done by missionaries for the
people TO whom they minister is neces-
sary also for u.s. Let US think of the
steps. And. first, there comes the per-
sonal ownership of Bible. This is not
so easy i'm foreign lands, though sooner
or later it is accomplished. but 1t is pos
sible for us. Every one should have a
Bible as a personal possession; not "a
Bible in the home" alone, but Bible
which l can call my Bible 1t should
be kept among my most sacred treasures,
room And it should be used. We need
not be afraid of wearing it out, or of
marking in 1t the texts which have helps

of poetry or cards or mementoes which
are associated somehow with our personal
and intimate experience. Some one has

foreign Missionaries.

Nm these days, when America is taking
- such general interest in foreign mis-
sion work. it is interesting to read of the
zeal and self-sacrifice that prompt those
who go into far-distant fields to work for
God and humanity. The following account
Of the voluntary offering of self to such
work is a matter of current history. None
will read without admiration and edit
cation Of the conduct of these heroic
women:
Bishop Merel of Canton recently petit
toned the Most Rev. Paul Bruchesi of
Montreal to send him some Canadian
nuns to care for the lepers in China. The
archbishop wrote in answer to Bishop
Merel that he had asked the Sisters of
the Immaculate Conception to undertake
the charge. Here is an extract from the
letter:
- weht to the convent. The nuns
knew my errand. l addressed forty of
them, and 1 said: MY children, the
work / propose to you today is one that
will involve self-abnegation and sacrifice,
but beautiful and glorious as the charity
taught by our Divine Master is the care
of the leprous women. Will you take it?
stand up" My dear bishop. at once all
forty nuns stood up and signifled their
readiness for the mission. The matter is
therefore settled, and 1 am pleased that
it is. Your leper settlement will be
placed under the care of the nuns from
Montreal, and this will be, am certain.
a source of blessings and graces for your
diocese. Our missionaries will go out TO
you in the spring."

pose. And in those cases where they re-
turn to their native land 1t shall be to
carry back a worther civilization and
a larger life.
And we may offer them the gospel of
our Christ, as the greatest boon we have
to bestow, and they. through Him. shall
come at length to see that all the great
ness OF the genius OF America comes from
Him.
Nv. HOW MAY WE BEST DO THIS?
There are three methods OF approach
which we may use. that will best help
us in our helping Of the Italian immi-
grant. We may be courteous; to cour-
tesy all men respond. We may be con-
siderate; they do not know our ways
or words. We may be Christian in all
our dealings with them. Then these
descendants of the Caesars. and many a
noble race besides, who have come to
bear or share our burdens with us will
seek to know our Savior and with Him
will find the best we have to give.

true, so far as 1t goes, but 1t is incom-
plete.
The truth is that a good name is
worth more than great riches, both lit
orally and figuratively. The reason is
this-that business is done upon credit.
and the basis Of credit is belief in the
borrowers integrity The very word
credit comes from the Latin 'credo,"
meaning believe" Banks won't lend to
men whom they can't trust. no matter
what the would-be borrowers assets may
be.
Il know lots of men, business men. too,
credit is unquestioned That is not be-
cause OF the belief that they have the
money back of them, but it is because
people believe in the man 1 have known
given him a check for million dollars
when / knew he had not a cent in the
world.
Commercial credits are based on
money or property or character; and the
first of these Is character man / do
not trust could mot get money from me
on all the bonds In Christendom; and
that. / think, Is the fundamental basis
of business"
These are not the words Of a preacher,
or a moralist. or a theorZer in ethics and
philosophy. They come from the man
who dominated the business and bank
ing of this country to greater extent
than any other person has before or Is
likely to do again: and they were spoken
by him while examined under oath. They
are the words of the late j. Pierpont
Morgan. and from part of the testimony
given by him before the PuJo committee
investigating the alleged money trust.
Honesty Is the best policy" Even
from the crassest, most material point Of
view it's good business" to have a good
character, for IL increases ones buying
power. And the proper time to start
building the good character is now. The
young man who carries the Golden Rule
into his place of business won't lose by
it. even though his policy be based on
commercial rather than on religious mo-
