cHIIDREN'S DAY AT ST. PAUL

In spite of the hot weather there
was a large crowd out to take part in
the Childrens Day exercises at st. Paul
Methodist church in Bethel township,
last Sunday morning. The audience
was made up Of old people and young
folks, all of whom seemed to take
great interest in the performance Of
the children. st. Paul is one Of the
churches Of the Glover circuit, the
other two being Chapel and Glover;
Rev. ]. n. Isom is pastor. The church
has a membership Of little over one
hundred. The membership Of the Sun
day school, under whose auspices the
exercises were held is forty-eight.
For a number Of years past it has
been customary to hold Children's Day
exercises; and the programme is al
ways varied and interesting to the
members Of the good congregation as
well as to numerous visitors who never
fail to be in attendance on the annual
event.
The church was we'll filled by 1890
o'clock, and q number Of folks who
came later could not find seats; but
stood at the doorways and the win
dows. AS was the case at Chapel last
Sunday week, the interior of the
church was prettily decorated. A large
background Of white upon which was
the word, Welcome" made of ivy was
shown off to great advantage. Stream
ers of green plants and white crepe
paper were also abundant.
There was a good choir in attend
ance, who, aided by a number OF
good singers in the audience, made the
song service an enjoyable part of the
exercises. The children marched into
the church from the front lawn and
occupied the front pews which had
been reserved for them. H. K. john
son, Esq, for several years past, su-
perintendent of the hourishing Sun
day school, presided. Following is the
programme, which was begun with
prayer:
Welcome-Harold Glenn.
Children's Carols-By Minnie Stew
art, Francis Robinson, Fred Beam
guard, Boyce Turner.
Am But a Little Child-Laura
Glenn.
Welcome, Dear Babies-Janie and
Jessie Robinson.
The Kings QuestiOns-Miss Marga-
rite Bradford.
Recitation with Musical AccOmpani-
ment-Miss Carrie Beamguard.

If we remember correctly, the News
and Courier took a strong position
against the passage of the Dick law
when that measure was pending in
congress- 1t urged that the time would
come when the state would lose con-
troll of it's militia through Federal in
reference. OF course, our Charleston
contemporary never dreamed that
such thing would come about through
a Democratic secretary of war; but
nevertheless the News and Courier
predictions are being verified. The
Dick law would have never been ac-
cepted except for the money that went
with it, There are many people who
will always favor the taking of such
money as may be available, whether
they ever expect it to do good or not

We do not take a great deal of stocI

We do not take a great deal of stocF
in the argument that good men VII
not offer for governor because of then
unwillingness to go through the cam
paign of vilification and abuse neces-
sary to get to the primary. There was
a time when the argument impressed
us somewhat but not now. There are
in this race a number of as good mer
as there are in the state-good, clear
men of ability against whose charac'
ters or records no man can say aught
and as all are in the race voluntarily
this fact alone "roves there is moth
ing in the argument referred to. There
are good men to be sure, who woulc
not be willing to make the necessary
campaign for the gOvernOrship; bu
Just as good men are doing that very
thing. and there we are. After all th'
primary system is far better than the
convention system, and it is to be hop
ed that the primary system will be re-
tained.

We do not consider John G. Rich
ards coat tail swinger-not if he
was an honest follower of the move
ment led by Tillman. If he believes
that Governor Blease is now the lead
er of that movement he has a right to
say he will vote for Governor Blease
and when he says it, we do not con-
slider that he means that he stands for
all the policies of Governor Blease
either. However, Mr.. Richards need
not expect immunity from the charge
of coat tail swinging because in the
absence of recognized designations for
the two parties, coat tail swinger'
seems to answer about as well as
anything else.

If anybody is going to have walk
over for governor in this race, the fac'
has not become apparent yet. The
Conservative party has about $4,000
votes, and the Reform party has from
a. 900 to $4,000 according to the clear
ness with which the issues are repre-
sented, and the re~a@nality of the can
didates. and then there are from 3O,-
900 to $4,000 free lance voters, who are
not so closely identified with either
party. AS to who will be in the second
race even, is a hazardous guess.

The senate committee on foreign re-
lationS is very much stirred up be-
cause of the leakage of the proceed
ings of supposed secret sessions in
connection with the Nicaraguan and
Colombian treaties. Every mem
Der OF the committee is under oath Ia
divulge nothing of the proceedings
and there is talk of instituting a
searching inquiry with view To dis
covering who has been doing the talk
ing. Some of the senators who are not
members of the committee, take an
opposite view of the matter. They Dc
not believe in secrecy anyway, and
hold to the idea that this country Is blS
enough and strong enough, and oughl
TO be brave enough to discuss all
questions in the open. There is some
thing To the idea.

The bunch of keys advertised in The
Enquirer, of last Friday, belonged to
Jeff Williams Sr., colored. who lives on
the eastern outskirts Of Yorkville. Jeff
does not take The Enquirer and prob
ably does not read; but he learned
about his keys a few hours after the
paper came out, and got them.
There is general complaint Of un-
usually dull business; but no sugges-
ton so far as we have heard, Of busi-
ness distress. Because Of the dry
weather, there has been but little grass
and therefore not much work for the
hoe hands. Scarcity Of money among
the field laborers is generally felt all
along the line, especially at this sea-
son.
A representative of The Enquirer had
the pleasure Of an automobile trip
around an extensive loop Of territory
extending to the north Of Yorkville, up
the Kings Mountain road to Mr.. ]. N.
Stroup's old place and around by Fill
bert, yesterday afternoon, with the es-
pecial purpose Of taking a look at the
crops. The route took in an area of
several thousand acres, and while some
of the crops of cotton showed poor
stands; generally speaking the pros
poets for both cotton and corn are re-
markably good. All the crops on the
extensive Stroup lands promise well.

THE STATE CAMPAIGN
Candidates Continue County to coun-
ty Canvass.

The most striking feature Of the
past few days in the state campaign
mas been the more distinct drawing Of
party lines among the candidates;
but generally the speaking has been
going on as heretofore.
At Conway.
There were only three or four hun
dred people present, and 1t was a well
behaved crowd.
Comptroller General Jones was the
first speaker. He devoted himself to
telling what he had been doing IN the
campaign. Mr. James Summersett
followed and scored the comptroller
for organizing a bonding company
with inadequate capital and using his
influence to write the bonds Of treas
urers and auditors. Mr.. Summersett
claimed that only a small shortage in
the case of a bonding officer would
smash the company and the state
would be without other security.
Gen. Moore and Mr.. M. C. Willis had
their usual tilt. Mr.. Willis criticised
Gen. Moore for the method he used in
getting the endorsements Of militia
officers, and Gen. Moore argued that
MIR. Willis was but badly informed on
military affairs.
The candidates for railroad COM
missioner made their usual speeches;
except Cansler who is in the hospital.
rhe speaking for lieutenant govern
or emphasized party lines, Mr.. Kelley
being for the administration and
Messrs. Hunter, Hamer and Bethea
being against Mr.. Hunter said that
Tom Miller, colored, Of Beaufort was
the originator Of the idea Of the Fort
ner bill, and Mr.. Fortner said that II
this is true it is evident that the negro
Miller thinks more Of the white race
than does Mr.. Hunter.
Mr. Clinkscales was so overcome by
the heat that he was unable to finish
his speech. Irby spoke in his shirt
sleeves. Simms charged that fertilizer
companies are short weighing the
farmers.
At Dillon.
There were between 500 and 1000
voters at Dillon, and the crowd was
the noisiest and most demonstrative
that has yet attended a meeting OF
the state candidates. When Richards
said that he proposed to vote for Gov
ernor Blease for the senate, there were
Kisses and prolonged applause, and
every factional reference brought
forth a similar demonstration. Mr..
Richards declared that compulsory
education would ruin the state finan-
cially and it would take forty years
to recover from the blow. Mr.. Clink-
scales made a humorous speech and
provoked quite lot of hearty laugh
ter. Mr.. Mannin" said that IL the state
should adopt compulsory education,
the school buildings would be made
quate to accommodate the children.
Adjutant General w. w. Moore,
seeking reelection, made a vigorous
attack upon Capt. NJ. c. Willis. his op-
pOnent, charging that he had made
statements regarding the militia that
were absolutely erroneous" He de-

that his present course Of treatment

strength.

YORKVILLE. S. c.:
TUESDAY, JUNE 80, 1914

The estate of the late Senator Ste
phen B. Elkins has paid the state OF
West Virginia inheritance tax to the
amount of $75,666. That looks like a
big lot of money to come from one
estate; but the question suggests itself
as to whether after all, it is equal to
the amount the senator probably dodg-
ed in lust taxes during his lifetime.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1914-06-30

five years is still there to be sure; but
it is being treated by both sides
a respect that has never been accord
ed to it before, and that is worth some
thing. We believe that thousands and
thousands of votes will hinge on this
question this year as usual. and we
look to see men elected and defeated
on it. This is as it should be, and as
we hope it will be as long as the old
question remains; but all the same the
absence of bitterness is gratifying. We
hope it will not show up again.

They are getting Senator Lodge vi
a tree because of his too great friend
shin for the beet sugar trust. Post
office inspectors who have been inves'
tigating the matter say that the sena-
tors postal franking privilege has beer
used for the benefit Of the trust to the
amount Of $4,000 in circulating the
literature of this organization. 1t is
question whether to get after Senator
Lodge, or to make the beet sugar peo-
pie pay the bill.

ACID STOMACHS ARE
 DANGEROUS
Common Sense Advice by Distin.
 guished Specialist.

Acid" stomachs are dangerous be- cause acid irritates and inflames the delicate lining of the stomach, thus hindering and preventing the proper action of the stomach, and leading to probably nine-tenths of the cases of stomach trouble from which people suffer. Ordinary medicines and me- dicinal treatments are useless in such cases, for they leave the source of the trouble, the acid in the stomach, as dangerous as ever. The acid must be neutralized, and it's formation pre- vented, and the best thing for this purpose is teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia, a simple antacid, taken in little warm or cold water after eating, which not only neutraliZes the acid, but also prevents the fermenta- tion from which acidity is developed. Foods which ordinarily cause distress may be eaten with impunity if the meal is followed with a little bisurat- ed magnesia, which can be obtained from any druggist, and should always be kept handy.

First Epistle of Paul to the
 CORINTHIANS.
CHAPTER 2.

CHAPTER 2.
 And I, brethren, when l came to you, came not with excellency ot speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
 2. For l determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
 8. And I was with you in weak ness, and in fear, and in much trem- bling.
 4. And my speech and my preach ing was not with enticing words of mans wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
 5. That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
 G. Howbeit we speak) wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
 7. But we speak the wisdom of God in mystery even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
 8. Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

The Dawn of Christianity
As Described in THE NEW TESTAMENT Translated from the Original Greek.

9. But as it is written, Eye hatl not seen. nor ear heard, neither nave entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared loi them that love him.
 10. But God hath revealed then unto us by his Spirit: for the Splrl' searcheth. all things, yea, the oeel things of God. H..
 Il, For what man knoWeth tht things of a man, save the splrlt ol man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, bu' the Spirit of God.
 12, Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the splr1' which is of God; that we might kno" the things that are freely given to us of God.
 13. Which things also we speak not in the words which mans WIS dom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
 IA. But the natural man recelveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto hlm neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
 15. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
 16. For who hath known the, mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him But we have the mind of Christ.

BRYAN WARNS
 THE MEX|CANS
Carranza and Guitterez Told They'll Be Held Responsi.
 ble for Border Firing.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Secretary oi Bryan announced today that he had sent warning to General Carranza and Provisional President Guitterez that he will hold them both responsi- ble for compliance with this govern meHt's demand that the Mexican con- batants cease firing across the line at Naco and elsewhere on the border.
 The warnings conveyed no ultima tum, but it is expected the display artillery at Naco will prevent any further firing.
 No reports have been received from General Bliss, who has arrived at Naco to take command of the situa- tiOn.
 The news generally from the Mexi- can capital today is that the city is quiet and that Zapata and Villa are still there.
