DoEsNT OPPOSE DISCUSSION.
Rey. Nich0kon Explains His Position
as to Uron Meeting Discussions.

=
Editor$.Seowee Courier: I noticed
in your paper of December "a, 1913,
an article 81 isded by C.. r. Abercrom-
bic, Moderalor, and&B. w. James,
Clerk pro tsn, which said, among
lothes hat $ the union meet,
Ting OF the Twelve-M Mile River Asso-
citation met with Stamp Creek Bap
tist church, in Oconee county, on
Saturday, November 20, 1913; that
| in the absence of program the un-
ion decided to take up the Six-Mile
Baptist Academy first; that the dis
cussion was opened by Rev. S. e.
Garner and spoken to by Rev. II. A.
OKelley, Rev. Fl. f. Wright and r.
w. James. The discussion (the ar
ticle said) was opposed by Rev. w.
II. Nicholson and j. r. Meece."
The SiX-Mile Academy was ably
discussed by Rev. S. e. Garner, and
Others touched upon the subject, but
principally discussed other matters.
do not oppose the discussion of the
academy, nor do | oppose the acad-
emy itself. / proposed that we give
half or three-quarters Of an hour
!, to the academy for discussion by
IReV. S. E. Garner or some other able
| nan. and that the union arrange a
| ppgram and have a union meeting,
alW not disappoint the people and
| haS the good ladies going to the
troWle of fixing for the union and
comRg out in the cold to hear dis
cusslSps asNto the selling of beef, the
cuttinS of wood, the apparent extrav-
aganc3of burning wood, and many
other tNngs too numerous to men
ton. @h
What \ opposed was, not the dis
cussion DNMr. Garner or others bear
ing on theRcademy, but the folly o.
| indiscriminae and uncalled for re-
| marks, IN m way pertinent to the
point, that WNre made by some 9th
ers-remarksN Nhat certainly could
not in any waNbenefit the academy,
the union meeting or the associati ton,
Contrary to my being opposed to
the free and open discussion of the
SiX-Mile Academy ! favor it most
heartily, and not oNly as to this one
institution, but as u all others that
have a bearing uponNhe educational
facilities of our community, county
and State.
The report Of the Meeting, how
ever, has given, in certain Quarters.
an entirely erroneous iniptession, to
| the effect that both | and Mr.. Niece
are opposed to the acadeIk's being
discussed in the union Meetings.

verse Is true. w. Fl. Nicholson.

quit because / could not see that any
body cared for those letters. | have
since learned that at leasS some of
your readers, both in and out Of the
| State, do care, and have, therefore
decided to write again.
Columbia Is much wrought up
over the s'red light" part Of the city.
AS q consequence i have recently
heard two setmons on the srhifet OF
I"Christ at the we'll wi IN
/ OF SamariaS and countless n & 4 n gttes
in the Legislature proposing ways
| and means to rid the country of such
characters. 1t appears to me that
this subject, like many others dealt
with by ministers, lawmakers and
| other professionals, is being mis-
treated-they seem to be treating
| the sign of a disease instead of the
cause of it.
In both those sermons, and in all
! those speeches, / do not recall one
single word that will mend the stu
alton for the reason that there is no
| proposition to remove the cause
and that is the only successful way
to treat any malady. What is the
cause of this sad, blighting, shame
full, disgraceful, fostering sore that is
dragging so many Of our youth, both
male and female, down to a hell
right here on earth? The answer is.
the love of money. There are con-
tributory causes, but "the love of
money is the root Of all evil" This
greed for money, this grinding of the
poor to get 1t, has made so many mis-
cradle homes that young girls, to bet
ter their condition, go out into the
world and become the prey OF many
such brutes as have contributed to
their condition and who are waiting
for the opportunity to make that
condition immeasurably worse. You
need not preach to the young to stav
in miserable homes and submit to
present ills rather than fly to those
they know not of. If YOU would keen
them at home you must make those
homes better.
Now, with all our churches.
schools, reformers, lawmakers, do
you see any earnest attempt to pro-
tect this class Of people, to help them
have better homes? No, but you see
them pushed harder and harder
against the wall. The poor man
pays more for the use of money than
the rich; the poor man pays more
for land than the rich. "To him
that hath shall more be given; "to
him that hath not shall be taken
away even that which, he seemeth to
have"
What good does it do to talk about
loving your neighbor? Who cares
for his neighbor? Why, they don't
know their negihbors, and they don't
care to know them. If they did, a
few men in this town could remove
this great curse in a very short time.
Maybe, when the women vote. they
Will better things. Who knows?
they cannot make it much worse.

The committee on Woman Suf-
frage had hearing before the COM
mittee on Rules, House of Represen'
tatives sixty-third congress second
session on resolution establishing a
committee on Woman Suffrage Dec.
8. and 8, 1918.
Below are excerpts from some of
the speakers. Others win follow
from time to time:
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw opened the
meeting with a few remarks before
Introducing the different speakers.
She said in part: "our purpose is
to ask your committee TO appoint a
committee fin the House on Woman
Suffrage in order that we may have
hearings and have these hearings
discussed by a committee which 10
not so burdened with other busi.
ness, as is the Committee on the
Judiciary. We have not asked the
Judiciary Committee that they
should believe in woman suffrage or
that they should express any opin--
ion upon the question whatever. 1t
seems to the women of these United
States that a question of SO much
Importance that the parliaments Of
Europe feel under obligations to dis
euss and act upon It is at least of
sufficient importance in this great
Republic Of ours, SO that the COM
mittee which has It under consider
alton shall be such committee as
shall be able to give time to It's
consideration and report 1t to the
House."
"We are called upon to help pay
for all other committees. Why should
We not have one Of our own? We
do not hesitate to pay. or object to,
the tax upon us for many and var
led committees.
There is committee on Indian at
fairs. Are the Indians more impor-
tant than all Of the women of Amer
