Cash or Honor?

tFy0m The Philadelphia LedoerJ
Il is becoming more and more evident that
the administration has no cause to plume
itself upon the great diplomatic triumph
with which it has been credited by its ad-
mirers The policy of secrecy which Is be
ing pursued at Washington leaves us without
any official information as to the nature Of
the conversations between the German Am
bassador and the Secretary of State regard
ing the sinking of the Lusitania. The report
that no apology or disavowal will be forth
coming, but that money indemnity will be
paid, is at least plausible.
BY letting the occasion for obtaining
prompt reparation pass, by allowing a plaiG
issue to develop into a long and indeter
inmate controversy, the administration prac
tically encouraged Germany in course o.
chicanery and evasion. The superficial set
Element Of the Arabic case was but herring
drawn across the trail. The more serious
grievance remained unredressed. Nay, Ger
man insults and injuries have gone on evef
since, while the German Ambassador is per-
mitted TO continue 10 give assurances that
the event proves absolutely meaningless.
There is not visible the slightest intoltior
20 meet the demands so eloquently set forth
in the notes 10 the German government. To
do that would involve a humiliation that it
as yet sees no reason TO undergo. The Lusi-
tania was sunk with the applause OF tho
whole German nation The act was defended
boldly and unrelentingly. 1t cannot be re-
undated now with a complete wolfe face.
Why should Germany, which has shown
again and again how little respect she has
for the opinion OF the civilized world, not
defy rhetoric and throw a contemptuous SOC
20 The United States in the shape of a money
payment? A nation that will not enforce its
rights cannot expect other nations to re.
spect them. Yet even an administration that
has brought us to this pass might hesitate
TO crown the ignominy by accepting cash for
The natlonal honor.

Still Continuous.

Delibcration will continue to be contln-
.uous in a continuous Senate. Rude inno-
vators like Robert l.. Owen and Cum
Shoe Bill" Stone have been contending
that the upper chamber of Congress is
born afresh every two years, instead OF
tracing an uninterrupted existence back
to the shadows of national antiquity. The
Senate has up to now been continuing
institution. but TO statesmen like MIR.
Owen and Mr. Stone the fact that an in
sttution has long been operated on one
theory is a prima fooic argument that 1t
ought to be operated henceforth on an
exactly contrary theory.
The Senate will also continue to sus-
tain its renown as "the greatest delibera-
tive body on earth" 1t is popular to talk
closure between sessions, but when the
average advocate Of parliamentary accel-
GRAFTON actually faces the inhumanity Of
cutting Senatorial debate short by dull,
mechanical contrivance like the previous
question his moral courage weakens. He
yields to the majesty Of tradition. to the
JUNCTION of the conviction that
Senators are not as other parliamenta-
rians are, but are set apart as a body
whose wisdom can always flow unchecked,
until exhausted, for the healing of the ma
ton. Malignant absent treatment is a
sufficient remedy in the hands Of a ma
iority steering committee which wants to
pass a bill, but finds group of Senators
unable to free themselves within six
weeks Of the thoughts which arise in them
on contemplating the evil effects of the
bill in question.
The high privileges Of free and unim-
tied oratory have again been honorably
indicated. How such hour-glass defying
champions in the arena of delberation as
John T. Morgan and William NJ. Stewart
must have gloated from the walls Of Val
halla at the discontinue of Robert l..
Owen and Cum Shoe Bill" Stone!

no man in the country who has a keener
appreciation of its value. He appreciates it
well enough to buy it by the page.

Mrs. E. Barker is one of the most
active and most faithful members of
The Baptist church and also one OF
the most loyal Sunday school work
ers. She never grows weary In

sire to give pleasure to the members
of her Sunday school class and too
to arouse greater interest in the
work of the class, Mrs. Barker
gave the Is girls of her class a pic,
mic Saturday. A large wagon was
engaged and the bottom of body

Portable seat for the joyriders.

D. A. r. Meeting.

The Old e6 District Chapter, D.
A. R. held it's regular monthly meet
ing on Tuesday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. Belts Cantelou. The
session was devoted entirely to busi-
ness, after the opening exercises of
prayer by the chaplain and the sing
ing of America by the chapter.
A report from the Revolutionary
graves committee showed that twen-
ty-eight graves of soldiers who had
fought during the Revelation and
who were represented in this chap
ter had been located. Application
blanks for government markers for
sorue of these graves have been re-
ceived and the next duty of the
chapter will be to see that these
headstones are placed. The commit
tee consists of Mesdames B. E..
Nicholson, Maggie T. Hill and D.
B. Hollingsworth.
As it was the close of the first
years work of the chapter very sat
isfactory reports were heard from
the retiring regent, the registrar and
the treasurer. Each of these reports
showed the chapter to be in flour,
ishing, working condition. Three
new members were voted in. Misses
Hortense Padgett, Pearl Padgett
and Natalie Padgett. AS soon as
their papers are approved they will
be entitled to all of the chapter
privileges.
The election for officers was no "
in order. On account Of Mrs. Wood

Prohibition Cantata.

On Friday evening i'll the opera
house the can,ata, "A Saloonless
Nation in 1920" was given by one
hundred and twenty-eight young peo-
pie and children.
The county prizes in the essay
contests were awarded during the
first part of the evening, the four
prize winners being as follows:
Miss Florence Minis of Edgeteld
High School five dollar gold piece
for best essay on THE benefits of
prohibition in South Carolina" and
two dollars and half for the sec
ond best, won by Miss Nellie Bry-
ant of the Wayeross school, Miss
Ruth Cain, teacher. The first prize
of FIVE dollar gold piece for the
best essay on why the cigaret
smoker fails" was won by Dewey
+, Carver of Wimberly school and the
second prize by James Porter of
Edgefeld graded school.
On the platform were Dr. Pen
dleton Jones, Mrs. T. Fl. Rainsford,
superintendent Scientific Temper
ance instruction department, Mr..
il Minis and the four prize win
ners. The prizes for the High School
subject were awarded oy DIR. Jones.
and the Graded school by Mr.. Minis.
The first scene was participated
in by about sixty children and was
the most brilliant and spectacular
scene ever presented in the opera
house.
The tableau Hang 'em on the
dry line" was splendid presenta-
tion of the ls dry states, made plain
10 the audience by little Elizabeth
Lott who enjoined uncle Sam to
wash old South Carolina next"
Uncle Sam Immediately put the old
spotted state in the tub and we all
believe we will have all the blots
on the fair old state clean by Sep
tember IA.
Professor Ross was typical uncle
Sam, and Miss Abbie Bryan render
ed the part of Columbia with beau
tiful effect. A very wise head re-
marked .hat this cantata should be
carried all over South Carolina as
it was better than any sermon or
lecture on the subject which could
be made.
The second scene brought upon
the platform The various classes OF
people in America who were effect
ed by this evil and their views. The
United States army was represented;
the Indians, the negroes, and last
came a company of young ladies
bearing on their breasts the names
of the suffrage states and saying In
concert, Eve wan6 national prohi'
bition, we want woman's suffrage,
we want a saloonless nation, we
want stainless flag"
The elimination and climax or
the program was the entrance of
fourteen little girls, as Home,
sweet home" was sung, conveying
the idea that all the effort was
fer the happiness of the home
and the saving of the children. The
audience joined in singing America.
About ST. was made.

eAccHus-eoo OF WINE.

In NEUROLOGICAL lore, among many
more
There stands forth God Divine;
A God of the high, God of the low
Worshipped by rich, "orshipped by
poor,
Was Bacchus-eod of Wine.
Throughout the years midst mirth and
tears
He's held his steady sway
Ger nations young and nations old,
Mankind weak and mankind bold
Will he reign forever and aye?
Since all time in every Cline
He's been toasted by poets sublime,
This stesler Of brains, this robber Of
Drawn,
This weakener of nations spawn,
Subtle Baechus-God Of the Vine.
He is usually there, it matters not
where,
The same to him, the place or the
time,
The palace great, the howell drear,
The harIot's hate, the drunkard's
leer
Have charm for this God of Wine.
So when we think of the habit of drink
And it's detriment to all mankind,
Breeding anger, breeding hate,
Making Us damn our fate,
Bacchus should be called God of
Crime.
