Charleston Post: Rev VIM. Melee,
pastor Of colored Baptist church at
Sumter, has arrived in Charleston. He
is seeking contributions to a church
fund but he prefaces his conversation
with prospective subscribers by stat
ing that for four years, during the
thick Of the Civil war, he held down
the important job Of being Gen. Lees
cook and body servant. He says he is
80 years old, but his spryness has a
clear margin over his venerableness
so far. The Rev McLee's congregation
of 60 members attend church in a
building which cost $4,000, but $500
Of that amount has never been paid.
and the pastor is in hopes that he will
acquire something more than admirers
during his visit to Charleston. About
$3.50 has been subscribed, which leaves
over $500 still to be raised The Rev.
Melee will abide in Charleston a week
or ten days longer and trusts that at
the expiration of that time he will be
able to feel gratifled at the success Of
his visit.

long before he was a governor, once
told the following anecdote:

You lack caution. You must learn
not to state things as facts until they

very apt to get us into libel suits. Do

to have stolen the funds That's all

the second ward social last night
Owing to an influx Of visitors 1t was
late in the afternoon before the genial
editor Of the Bugle caught glimpse
of the great family daily. Halfway
down the social column his eye lit on
the following cautious paragraph:
"Tt is rumored that a card party
was given last evening to number OF
reputed ladies Of the second ward. Mrs.
Smith, gossip says. was the hostess
and the festivities are reported to
have continued until 1890 in the
evening. 1t is alleged that the affair
was a social function given to the
ladies Of the second ward Cinch CLUB,
and that with the exception or MRS.
James Bilwiliger who says she comes
from Leavits Junction, none but men,

were served as refreshments. The

YES, sir" said the bright pupil. 1T

the advice Is excellent If you could tell
me what 1t means"
well, for instance" said the teach
er, "supposing you want to remember
the name Of a poet-Bobby Burns.

Dill. But how is one to know that 1t

Home.

A home may be a mansion or a cave
in the side Of hill. Brick and boards
do not make a home. They make a
house. A home Is built on a founda-
tion Of love, and the upper structure
is made of self-respect and mutual
respect. The only man who deserves
home is the one who loves every
blade Of grass and every tree and bush
on the premises. and IS content with
them. The only woman who deserves
a home Is the one whose interests and
joys and fears and hopes center there.
When a man acquires home and
learns to love 1t, he becomes a good
citizen and, in all probability, a good
man. When a woman loses interest
in her home and goes off after strange
gods, she very probably loses her
character also. Home loving people
are thrifty, peaceable people with
enough Of imagination to see In a root
ed twig the towering tree that will
shade their declining years. They are
responsible and sane. for they have a
personal interest III tne state. RlSnt
men will work harder for home than
for any other prize. Having attained
it. they will fight harder to preserve
it than they will fight in any other
case. Witness the little army of Bel
gium fighting for it's gardens. Many
very rich people with many houses
have no homes. Many very poor folk
without decent shelter, make a home
of contentment and love. Four walls
and roof, simplicity, love and con-
tentment, with Gods presence and
blessing-these constitute an ideal
home, and all the wealth Of the In
dies could not make 1t more worth
while.-Fountain Inn Tribune.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1915-11-09
Opinion of Experts.

A press dispatch from Washington
published in a number Of papers, says
that military experts in Washington
are coming around to the opinion that
Germany will eventually win in this
war;" The amazing performances of
German armies in the field have
brought about this change Of opinion,
1t Is stated. 1t may be observed that
1t Is not stated who the experts are.
The fact must be recognized that the
German armies are performing amaZ-
ing feats, but the English navy still
rides the seas and Germany is locked
as tight as can be from other coun-
tries. How long can her own resour-
ces hold out? Indefinitely? 1t is hard
to believe that she can continue much
longer the struggle which has involv-
ed practically every man, woman and
child in the empire. While the Allies
are apparently simply holding their
own. to the disgust Of some admirers,
may that not be the very policy to
which the leaders have committed the
result of the war? II nibble," it is re-
ported that Gen. Joffre said last win
ter and this may be the play to make
for some time. Even our military ex-
perts are guessers and though a CIV
ilian's guess may not be worth as
much as the practical soldiers it is
hard to believe that Germany will win.

Bringing in New Money.

Representative Nicholas Longworth
says the American people, under the
present administration, "are riding
hell-bent to bankruptcy" There Is no
prosperity. Want and misery have
prevailed in the land. Some indus
tries, it is true. are prosperous. but
they are industries which are not sup
plying the American market but the
markets Of the warning countries Of
Europe" Since when was it esteem
ed undesirable to bring outside money
into the situation for the benefit and
endowment Of the home people? II the
American people are selling the pro-
ducts Of their industry to the foreign
ers rather than to themselves, they
must be storing up resources for very
vigorous brand Of prosperity in the
near future, II they are not enjoying
a measure Of 1t at the immediate mo-

EDITORIAL VIEWPOINT
What Various South Carolina News.
Papers Think of Various Things.

Conditions in southwest Georgia
counties invaded by the bool weevil
for the first time this summer are said
to be serious. and many farmers who
placed their sole dependence upon cot
ton are facing financial ruin. This will
be the condition in Sumter county
three years hence unless farming
methods are revolutionized to meet
bool weevil conditions. 1t may seem
foolish, to some people, to be laying
so much stress on the bool weevil in
vasion Of South Carolina, which is 8
or 4 years off, but the time for prepa-
ration is short even though an earnest
and energetic start is made at once

Whisky Drinking Out Of Fashion.
Four or five thousand people attend
ed Cherokee's county fair October %
and we did not see drunk man;
twenty thousand were in Spartanburg
to see the circus-and we did not see
a drunk man; fifty thousand attend
ed the state fair at Columbia-and we
did not see a drunk man. Oh, yes,
there were perhaps some there-but
we did not see them, and we saw a
large majority Of each Of these crowds.
And yet some people say the world is
not growing better! We have seen the
time In South Carolina when 1t was
impossible to get as many as five
hundred people together without there
being several drunk men in the crowd
Times are different now. 1t Is not so
fashionable to drink whisky these
days as it once was.-Gaffney Ledger

jected to the eligibility Of certain men
whose names appeared on this list.
Davidson and Carolina are keen ath-
letic rivals and the meetings between
the two on diamond or gridiron are
always interesting. 1t Is a matter OF
regret to the supporters Of both insti-
tutions that the teams will not meet
this year.
Statistics compiled by the South
Carolina burea Of statistics in regard
to the death from pellagra in this state
reveal two outstanding features Of the
disease: That more than 6S per cent
Of the fatalities are among women, and
that the greater number Of deaths Of
women are between the ages Of 20 and
80, and Of men between the ages Of
40 and so. OF the 1883 deaths from
pellagra during the first eight months
Of this year, 26 were negroes, or a per-
centage Of 671. The following table
shows the number Of deaths occurring
in stated periods: UP to 20 years.
white men 5; white women 13: negro
men 81; negro women SO. 20 to 40
years. white men 4, white women no;
negro men 81; negro women 242. 40
to 70 years, white men, IS; white wo-
men, SO; negro men 10S; negro women
157. Over 10 years, white men, IL;
white women, 16; negro men, 19; ne
gro women, 20. Total white men 1875:
white women 232; negro men 215;
negro women 511. It will be seen from
this that Of the TAP deaths from pella-
gra among women, 352 or more than
AZ per cent, occurred between the ages
Of 20 and 40, and that of the $40 deaths
among the men 1913 or more than Sc per
cent, occurred between the ages Of 40
and 70. Also it will be seen that in
each Of the periods there were more
deaths among white women and negro
women than for the same period Of

The "Rights" Of Liquor.
Liquor men Of Chicago have twice
recently applied to the courts for in
junction against the mayor to forbid
his issuing orders for Sunday closing;
and both times have been refused by
the courts Liquor men up that way
have peculiar notions about liquor
their right to it as property" their
right to sell as much as they can, to
whom they can and when they can,
provided they pay license. Nowhere,
though, except in South Carolina and
in Charleston have any considerable
body Of people contended that they
have a right to sell liquor without IL
cense. And why there? Plain enough:
The state sold liquor to its people;
why may not an individual? 1t will
take two generations to wipe out the
moral perversion that was caused by
twenty years Of the dispensary system.
That was the greatest Of all its curs-
es-Newberry Observer.
