LA SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY,, JUNE 3. 1914.
LONG CREEK BAPTIST SCHOOL.
Contract awarded for Main Building
to Gaines Il Dalton, Westminster.

The committee in charge of the
matter Of securing a contract for the
erection of the buildings necessary
for the proposed Long Creek Acad-
emy, in the Long Creek section Of
Oconee, has let the contract for the
erection of the main building to
Gaines & Dalton, of Westminster.
The contract price for this piece of
work is $500, and it is a part Of
the contract that the building shall
be ready for occupancy by Septem-
ber first, next. This building is to
be two stories high, and will include
four class rooms, eleven bed rooms.
dining room and kitchen. The con-
struction will be of wood.
Contracts will be let later for the
erection of other buildings necessary,
and these will include a girls dor
mltory and commodious audito-
rum.
This school is designed to fill the
educational needs OF the upper sec
ton of Oconee, giving to the people
who reside in the mountain section
school that will measure fully
up to the standards Of the modern
nigh school and graded school Of the
towns. 1t will be under the direct
care of the Beaverdam Baptist Asso-
clation of Oconee and the Home Mis-
sion Board Of the State.
1t is the intention OF those in
charge to have everything in readi-
ness to open the first session Of this
new school early in the month of
next September. It is understood
that everything is in fine shape and
the prospects are for a great institu-
ton in the heart Of the mountains of
Oconee. The Baptist denomination
is doubtless the strongest denomina-
ton in Oconee, and the institution
will have fine financial and moral
backing from the start. Its location.
too, was happy selection. There is
no better or more healthful section
in the State than that in which the
Long Creek neighborhood is situated.
and some of the best and sturdjest
citizens of which South Carolina
boasts claim the Long Creek section
as their home.
The Baptists of Oconee and the
citizens of the Long Creek section
may well congratulate themselves
upon the launching Of this splendid
enternrise.

ance was especially large, filing the

"EbeneZer' in commemoration of the
goodness and mercies that have fol-
lowed him throughout his ministerial
life. However, the preacher did not
dwell "t length on the personal ap-
plication Of the words. "Hitherto
hath the Lord helped US" He spoke
more fully and most elOQuently Of
the changes that have been wrought
in church and State, since the year
1874, when South Carolina was call
ed the "Drostrate State" when
shadows Of war still hung over the
land, and homes and churches were
impoverished.
In his evening discourse Dr..
Stokes spoke in anticipation of the
coming forty years. prophecying-con-
tlDued betterment Of home and
church and State, a higher and sim
gle standard OF morals, the constant
advance of science and invention, the
universal cessation OF war, the world
wide spread of the Gospel, and the
federation of denominations - all
tending to the recognition Of the
common fatherhood Of God and the
universal brotherhood Of man.
Dr.. Stokes received the hearty
congratulations of his many friends
and admirers, who wish for him yet
many years of usefulness

GLAD T1D1Nas TO THE NATION.

President Wilson and his Demo-
cratic party hasTbeen .repudiated.
In the first general election, since the
New Freedom was so boastfully pro-
claimed, the people serve notice that
they have had enough Of it, =, Penn
sylvania. which was looked upon
generally as affording the most d.
rect test of the Wilson policies,
sends word to the nation that 1t rs
still Republican state and still be-
!ieves in the principle of a protective
tariff. DR.. Brumbaugh is elected gov
crnor by the largest plurality given
for that office since 1902. when
Judge Pennypacker was the Repuo-
lican nominee. Senator Penrose wins
handsomely and with an ample mar
gin to the good, in many sections
polling larger vote than his two OPP
ponents combined. This is distinctly
. triumph for the system of protec-
ton and reputation by the masses
of workingmen and business men OF
the Underwood bill and the fatp9Rs
democratic practice Of legfslating for
the benefit of Europe rather than, for
the welfare Of our own industries.
And il the Democrats take refuge,
as they endeavored to do during the
campaign, in the pretense that the
tariff really was not an, issue, be-
cause the war had altered conditions

Senate, a result that was considered
hardly possible a few weeks ago. AS
for Col. Roosevelt, his assaults, upon
whitman, after he had been dicker-
ing with him. failed to elicit the re-
Spouse he hoped for. The campaign
he made was calculated to help
Glynn, If anybody, and the. outcome
leaves the colonel as the chief figure
in a grand fiasco. Even Sulzer emer-
ges from the fray with more personal
satisfaction. He at least "got" his
man when Glynn went down. Wads-
worth's victory is smashing blow to
the Wilson administration. Thus is
1t told by the great Empire State
that neither its tariff, nor its attitude
toward the business community, nor
yet its solemn professions Of eman-
cipation for the forces Of commerce
and production, while all the time 1t
has been strangling enterprise,
bludgeoning capital and impoverish-
ing hundreds of thousands of work
ingmen, is approved.-Gazette Times.

THAI lEl:ll N ]: REBUKE.

The Times says the editor of the
West Yirginian waged an unfair
flght against its party candidates,
,rhe editor Of the West .vrgnan at.
lacked no one personally except
those who first attacked him in the
same manner. It did expose the rec
ords of many of the candidates. and
caused Mr.. Shaver, the Chairman OF
the Democratic State Committee, to
rim about 900 votes behind his con.
sressionalS ticket. Is that the rebuke
ID d Times5sa was in store for the
Republican cant idate for the Senate?
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1914-11-04

A great deal of criticism is being
made about the kind Of fight the
editor OF the West Virginian made
against the Democratic bosses of Ma
rion county, all coming, Of course.
from the Democratic ring organ and
the Democratic henchmen. The West
Virginian has no apologies to- make
ia any of them. The editor Of the
West Virginian is not now candi-
date for any office. He is free to
do and say what he believes to be
the best for the community that he
lives in. The attack against him has
been most personal and bitter, but he
will continue to fight for a better
city government and better condi-
lions in this county as long as he re-
mains the editor of the West Vir-
gilman. He will stand for the right.
and will oppose corruption and brib-
cry in elections as well as graft in
official positions, and all that is VI
cious and offensive in government.
We want II understood right now
that the fight against these things
has not ended. it has only COM
menced. The attention of the peo-
rle OF Marion county will be contis-
ually called to these abuses as long
as they exist and until there viii
re a moral uprising that will over

will be able to change the charter re-

influence Mr.. Lowe may use against
it. This is some consolation. New

as to imports. tlley~ are in no better
shape. Toward election day they beg
bed the country to stand by the Pres
ident in an individual sense They
made much of his personality, they
declared him to be the most forceful
executive, the most Influential occu-
pant Of the White House, Of this and
the preceding generation. The an
swer OF the people is expressed in
the returns in many states, and here
in Pennsylvania, where Mr.. Wilson
obtruded to name the governor and
senator, it is that respect for the
man and the office cannotabe capt.
talized for political effect and as an
offset to the things done by him and
his party to the country's industrial
and commercial hurt.
Highly gratifying is the result in
the Thirtieth Congressional distric:
of Pennsylvania, where the voters
handed NJ. Clyde Kelly his passports
and elected William H. Coleman. KEEL
ly's double-dealing the base betrayal
CT his constituents when he voted
for the Democratic tariff bill, has
met with the rebuke it so richly mer-
tied. incidentally Col. Roosevelt is
given a rebuff at the polls for his ILL

rottenness that worried them. It
was the facing Of the necessity to

made them sore. They will have to
