HELPING GOOD THING ALONG

Two yourr fellows recently at
tended a tea For which they had
bought tickets at ID cents each
The profits were to go to charity
One of them, after consuming
four cups of tea, six ham sand
witches, a plate of bread and butter,
two teacakes, FIVE jam tarts and
four large buns, was passing his cup
for the fifth time when he turned
to his friend and said in a serious
tone: '~}-@ ~

age good thing of this sort. Its

People who kicked because the
temperature dropped down to the
point of frost here last winter, are
referred to the dispatches in the pa
pers today, which tell of the terrible
weather conditions in California.
Wind, hail, snow and sleet have COM
bined to wreak havoc on the Pacific
Coast, with millions of dollars dam
ages to property, and some loss of
life. A fire is right cheerful some
evenings during the winter down
here, but we never have icicles hang
ing on our fruit trees as they did in
southern California yesterday.

ideas; why are the people at home
so slow to appreciate the advantages
lying right at their doorway? This
is only one indication given of what
the future may bring, but whom will
deny that Lakeland will grow in ev-
cry direction
What has Lakeland ever done for
her winter visitors except of course
to receive their money? We must
get to understand that they are due

this time, but we must have more
than that, a place in the park where
ladies and elderly people can enjoy
themselves with small games of var

We have at this time somewhat

The derisive sun arises

The derisive sun arises
Ger the city 1t despises,
In the overwhelming scorn of noon
to stare;
And the moon and stars attend
her,
Wounded with her poisonous
splendor,
Jeweled bells and sceptered crime
scraped despair.
10, the Holy One will damn her
In her glory and her glamour;
With the lightning touch of Midas
everywhere!
Legend nepthaline of nation.
But a gorgeous desolation,
And alas! for noble manhood, never
there!

The Babylonian Doom

Il will make man more precious
(rare) than fine gold. Isaiah,
1912.
Oh, the lordly pleasure houses,
Where the cymbal shakes and
rOuses,
Where the winged beasts the top
ping heavens dare!
Roses, roses, red and yellow,
Date and citron over-mellow,
And the mighty molten river lang
uished there.
Rushed her heroes forth to glory?
Left she purple song or story?
All, her glory was the gardens in
the air!
Did the star-lured Magi steer her?
Did despised helots hear her?
Aught devised for Lazarus-earth of
good or fair?
Skies that plead, the murmurous
fountain,
Suur:se-seraphs DER the noun
tain;
Never dream divine perturbed her
drunken care;
Broidered beds and houri-pillows,
Rose hung boats on siren pillows,
Music. musk and myrrh enamoured
all the air.
From seraglio, fame and palace,
Popped throng forever sallies.
Scathed victims of more than Mo-
loch's lair!
Fen the dead all vamped in cruel
Crimson vaunt of throbbing jewel,
Did for golden doom of sepulcher
prepare. I'LL.

Anchorage G. o. P. Out with Flourish Republicans in New Railroad Town Claim Biggest Club in
 Alaska.

The following statement concerning the newly formed Republican Club at Anchorage was telegraphed yesterday to the Gateway by T. R. Needham:
 ANCHORAGE, Dec. S.-At the meeting at which the Republican club of Anchorage was formed the other evening the enthusiasm was so ap- parent that all loyal Republicans were highly gratifed. It was made par ticularly evident that the ladies of the town will take as much interest in bringing 8 Republican victory as the men. At the meeting appeared many of the prominent women all of whom seemed to feel the responsibility of suffrage, and to be glad of opportun- ity of increasing their influence in the community. Choice selections were rendered by the Foster orchestra which added a social side to the otherwise old time Republican rally. The enthusiasm shown and the num- Der signing the club roll. which is open today, point to the organization at Anchorage of the largest Rcpubh- can club in Alaska. About one hun drcd and sevcuty-fve people were in attendance.

Rev. T.. V. Babb Of Easlcy has ac-

on the work the first Of January, or
sooner If the Easley church releases
him before that time. Very fine re-
ports have come TO Ncwbcrry concern
ing the new pastor, and not only
his own congregation is interested in
knowing something Of him, but the
entire community are interested to
know what sort OF man he is who
is to play so important a part in the
moral and religious and social life
of the city.
Mr.. Babb'S age is not stated, but
his picture shows him to be a young
man as do also the dates Of his grad
uation at college and university and
his entrance into the ministry. He
has spent only three years in the min
istry all in IIaslcy.
1t is an interesting fact that Mr..
Babbs grandmother was a Ncwbcr-
rian. His father, Mr. G. a. l}abb, lives
in the western portion Of laurcns
county, whCrc the subject of this short
sketch was born. His early cdnca-
| lion was obtained at the country
schools Of that community. He en-
tered Furman university, at Green
Vile, graduating with the degree OF
\. b. in 1908. From Furman he went
Immediately to Colgate Theological
Seminary. Hamilton, \. Y, for thcolo-
gical training, graduating there in
| 1911. He came back to South Caro-
lima and entered upon the pastorato
of the Baptist church at Easlcy, and
has served that church since Jan
nary, 1912.
