Tense In Europe That It really exists in this
country is unbelievable to Europeans. In
Munich, an American woman of remarkahle
descriptive talent spent two hours explaining

oeeween american men and women. She took
tremendous pains TO make clear that our men
ana women associate together upon a basis oS
comfortable platonc UNDERSTANDING She az.

her father and mother. As the two watched

GONE OF the freshest facts in life can be
found most frequently In archaic quar-
ters; in sacred books. in classical books
nay, in copy-books. And one Of the truths
that grow truer a mans experience accumu
lates is this very old one: That men need
religion primarily to prevent them from wor.
shipping idols.
However, TO take the case IN point Mr.. Ber.
nard Shaw, who sees much deeper into the
modern difhculty than the oldfashioned Agnos-
tics do. said thing that seems 20 me very
true. He said that Secular Education will not
work; because II really means that the reason
for not doing wrong is that you win be eaAed
II you do. II might be put another way: That
II you want the child himself to struggle to
save his soul, you must give him the idea Of
something that is present when he is strug.
ding alone. This shocked poor Mr., Blatchford

Buggy Broken in Collision.

From the Daily Item, Nov. 9.
Last night Willie James, colored,
ran into the buggy Of c. E. WadfOrd
with his automobile near the BrogdOn
place several miles south of town.
The negro was arrested by Rural Po-
liceman Sam Newman, but was later
released when neither Wadford nor
Mr. Brogdon, who had made the COM
plant turned up. Mr.. Wadford and
his wife were in the buggy at the time
the automobile ran into it and al
though both were thrown out, neither
was injured.
The negro denied knowing anything
about the accident, but his was the
only automobile on the road at the
time and another negro, who was near
by when the collision occurred. iden-
titled James as being the driver OF
the automobile.

CIVIL COURT CONVENES.
Schabclitz and Naples Cases Taken up
Monday Morning.

From the Daily Item, Nov. 9.
The court of common pleas for
Sumter county convened this morning
with Judge Hayne f. Rice of Aiken
presiding and at once got down to bus
mess.
The first case called was that Of
William Bultnlan and others against E.
Schabelitz and others. The case was
one to recover from the bondsmen for
work which had not been properly
done. A verdict Of $342 for the plain
tiff was returned.
The next case called was that of
Hercules Naples against Katie Spen-
Ger. This case is one involving the
ownership of ten acres of land, and
had been tried at a former term of
court, when the judge directed a ver-
dict. Upon appeal, new trial was
ordered and was taken up today. The
attorneys in the case were Messrs. ].
H. Clifton for the defendant and NJ.
w. Seabrook for the plaintiff.

Cured in the course Of raising and
marketing the cotton crop, but which
cannot now be obtained from the usu-
al sources of supply because of the
extraordinary conditions prevailing in
the money markets and in the trade Of
the world.
THE amount of this fund is barely
more than l per cent of the total out
standing loans and discounts of bank
ing institutions in the United States
and is much less than the amount Of
cash usually employed in marketing
the cotton crop. Nor would even this
small part of the banking capital of
the United States become impounded
as a result of the plan; but upon be-
ing lent. would return at once into
general circulation.
Il am unable to see how such a plan
could be thought to fall within the
purview Of the antitrust laws.
