REV. LOUIS J. BRISTOW
Takes Up New Duties as Super
intendent of Baptist Hospital.

AbbevilIe, August 30:-The Rev
Louis ] Bristow closed his pastorate
of the Baptist church here yester-
day with a sermon at the morning
service. He will leave tomorrow
with his family for Columbia, where,
September l, he will become the su-
perintendent of the South Carolina
Baptist Hospital.
The retiring pastor preached from
the same text that he used in his
first sermon here five years ago,
Acts, 2O:32, And now, brethren, |
commend you to God. and the word
of His grace, which is able to build
you up, and to give you an inheri-
tance among all them which are
sanctified."
At the conclusion of the sermon,
very much to the surprise of Mr.
Bristow, Deacon ] w Nichols arose
and stated that the church desired
to adopt certain resolutions, which
were presented and read by Deacon
j S Stark. The resolutions were
very appropriate, reciting the ap-
probation of Mr. Bristow's services,
and expressing regret at his leaving.
Before Mr. Bristow could arise
from his seat DR. C A Milford, an
other deacon, approached the pulpit,
and in a beautiful and touching
speech presented Mr. Bristow with a
large silver pitcher, token Of love
and appreciation of the congrega-
ton and other friends. DR. Milford
said the pitcher represented the gifts
of more than 800 individuals. Mr.
Bristow responded feelingly to the
resolutions and the presentation
speech, and the congregation sang
"Blest be the Tie that Binds"
The inscription on the silver pitch
er is as follows:
Presented to Rev and Mrs Louis
] Bristow by the members of Able
vile Baptist church as token of
remembrance for loving service rem
dered, 191O-1915."
Mr. Bristow has many friends in
Williamsburg county who will doubt
less read this article with much in
terest. For several years prior to
1898 Mr. Bristow was editor and
owner of The County Record, which
he sold in that year to its late edi-
tor and owner, Mr. Chas W Wolfe.
At that time Mr. Bristow left King
stree to join the army against Spain.

Crushing the Muscovite.

Germany's tremendous drive against the
Russians has put the army of the kaiser the
soil of the car All the advantage of the pres
ent war now rests with the German. But the
residence OF the Russian is as well known to Ger
many to the rest of the world. The army
now driven back will form again. and when the
German retires IL will follow him. Napoleon's
march to Moscow may be repeated, but without
the tragic fate OF the Grand Army.
Crushing the Muscovite is a game old as
modern history; II has been played many times,
and by some magnificent military leaders, but
each time the Muscovite has arisen stronger and
more capable than he was before his defeat. The
Slav is dreamer, and his world moves in cycles
Of centuries, rather than Of years. All the peo-
pies under the car have not as yet been welded
into the homogeneity essential to true national
greatness, but In the fierce heat OF the world
war they are undergoing the change and the
pounding they are now getting from the ham
mer of German military genius is developing the
fiber that makes for better coordination of ma
. tional impulse.
The Romanoff is learning from his war the
lesson Napoleon taught the Hohenzollern cen
tury more ago--that all faith not safely
be placed in the privileged classes, and that the
people must be relied upon 70 protect their coun-
try and maintain its institutions. Whatever the
ultimate result OF the present war may be. no
nation will profit from It more than Russia,
which is breaking away from medievalism and
is being opened up to the reception of modern
thought

AGAIN ZINC Ensmv,, countrr.o

The significant feature to us Of Mr. Bryans
Homecoming speech at Lincoln is the palpable
effort to arouse anew the old sectional issue ORR
glnally embodied in his arragnment Of the east
nearly twenty years ago as "the enemy's eoun-
try" At that time. Of course, Mr.. Bryan was
preaching his free silver crusade which appealed
to the debtor parts OF the country, and made
the creditors believe that II meant debt scaling
and population. The east then, more than now,
contained the creditor states, and when Mr..
Bryan set out for the citadel OF the so-caled
money power he referred TO II expedition
into "the enemy's country"
And now in his appeal TO the people for his
peace propaganda. Mr.. Bryan depicts the Allie
ghanies the dividing line separating the in
tolerant and prejudiced east from the open
ley and the west, in the evident belief that he
can rally public sentiment here by holding up
another bogy man from whose rapacity the peo-
pie must protect themselves. Instead of dwell
ing on the unity OF the nation, and the common
interest Of the entire people for the maintenance
OF peace, the covert suggestion sticks out that
the peace-lovers are to be found west of the AL
leghanies, and that the states east OF the noun
tans are inhabited by selfish money-grabbers
who want war in order to fatten upon II.
We do not believe the pursuit of world peace
is helped by injecting such sectional issue.
There may be difference of opinion as TO the
best methods, as Mr.. Bryan admits there is be-
tween himself and President Wilson, but we do
not believe that there is any "enemys country"
on the peace map of the United States.

Public and Private Employment.

One interesting feature of the European war
as affecting America is now developing in CON
nection with the manufacture of arms and am
munition in this country Private firms are
bidding for services at such high prices that
numbers OF the experts trained by the United
States are leaving the government service and
entering the employ of private firms. Super
fetal examination OF the situation would lead to
the ready conclusion that these officers and spe-
cially trained workmen are wholly within their
rights In making a change Of employer, when
the change is to their advantage. Deeper thought
win bring to view the ethical point involved

army and navy makes a certain Investment in

If the word that comes from Mexican

Victoriano Huerta at El Paso is bringing results
much sooner than might have been expected. It

discussing terms of peace No secret is made that
this determination was brought about by the ar
