re ferend Carlton Harris TraV-
els Through Palestine.

7 HE Southern Methodist Publishing Com
pany makes an attractive little volume
under the name Of Through Palestine.
1t is a record of the personal observations
of the Rev. Carlton D. Harris, made during
o recent visit to the Holy Land.
One now goes by rail in that realm of Bibli-
eal association; and it must have Jared
Brother Harris considerably to have heard
the conductors cries of 'All aboard for Jeru-
Salient" and Cali out for Baalbeck!' and
"Next stop will be Arimathea !"
Brother Harris says that the railroad runs
close by the place where Samson caught those
800 foxes, and fastened torches to their tails
But Brother Harris did not get off there;
he went right on to Jerusalem where he saw
many things which he regretted.
One of those lamentable sights was seen in
the Church of Christ's nativity, where an
armed disciple of Mahomet has to stand
guard to keep the Christians of different
sects from killing each other.
This painful topic is touched very lightly

italian Pope Trying 10 Dictate
DO America!

has not been SO very long ago since Cardi-
nal Gibbons was publishing, in THE North
Anaerican Revieao. his oily dope, to the effect
that Italian popery is devotedly attached to
every principle laid down in the Constitution
Of the United States. One of those principles,
of course, is complete freedom of the press,
and another is the complete separation of
Church and State.
At present, however, all three of the Irish
Cardinals IN America, and all of the Irish
priests, and also the Irish Catholics in Con-
gress are leading rabid fight on those taco
american principles
The following Resolutions are typical of
Fitzgerald's fight in Congress, and of the
violent harrangues which the Irish Cardinals
and prelates are ranting:
BE 1T RESOLVED: That if the Postmaster
General has not adequate power to exclude the
said publications from transmission through the
mails, the congressman from the Congressional
Districts within the eleven counties of Pennsylva-
MIA, comprising the Diocese of Scranton be re-
quested to urge legislation in the form of an
amendment to present Postal Laws which
will give the Postmaster General legal authority
to exclude the vile sheets from transmission
through the mails of this country and
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED: That we, the
Priests of the Scranton Diocese. two hundred and
fifty in number, and representing population Of
900 Catholics, earnestly request that Presi-
dent Wilson shall refuse to recognize any govern
ment in Mexico that will not guarantee freedom
OF worship and full protection to the lives and
the properties of the Catholics in Mexico; and
agree to restore all colleges school converts, and
churches to their legal owners, and to compensate
the Bishops, Priests and Sisters for the financial
loss they have suffered in the WantOn and law
less dissertation and destruction of churches by
Mexican anarchists and revolutionists.
BE 1T FINALLY RESOLVED That copies Of
these resolutions be sent to President Wilson, to
Secretary of State, Mr.. Bryan, to Postmaster
General, Mr.. Bureson, to our two United States
Senators, Messrs. Penrose and Oliver, to our Con-

| 1NDER our theory of government, you go
to Congress, by deputy.
You make your laws, By substitute.
You lay taxes on yourself By prory.
Consequently when [ read the account of
how the police made raid on gambling
house, near Washington, one day last week, /
wondered whether you were arrested, By dele
gate, when several Congressman" were
pinched
There were 148 gamblers taken in this haul,

us. were Several members of the National

We are further told that, ''The Congress-

mune from arrest while Congress is in SEES
sion"
Yes; that's the law.
In the olden times, the tyrants used to
imprison the peoples lawmakers to keep them
from making laws against tyranny.
Your forefathers were so afraid that you
might be put in the jug and kept in cold
storage when you went to Washington (by
deputy to make your laws, that they provided
against your arrest, unless you should be
fighting somebody (by proxy, or committing
a felony, by substitute.
Your anxious forefathers did their level
best to keep the track clear and the road
open. so that you would never be molested
while you were making good laws for your
self.
If George Washington knew that you had
taxed yourself until your Federal Govern
ment is spending three million dollars day,
he would turn over in his coffin.
If Thomas Jefferson had had any idea that
you would use his name to sanctify the doc
trines of Alexander Hamilton, he would have
considered the fire-bell of the Slavery agita-
ton very trivial noise.
If Andrew jackson had foreseen that
japanese pot, calling itself President, would
pretend to be smon-pure chip off the old
Democratic block, he would have enriched
the vocabulary of profanity with some en-
tlrely new words
However, what 7 meant to say was, that
you cut mighty poor figure when you get
yourself arrested IN a gambling house, and
then have to plead with the police to turn you
loose, on the ground that the Constitution
makes your person sacred from the law, when
you are at your post Of duty legislating for
yourself

Finest Melon of the Season.

The Advertiser is indebted to
Mr.. J. O. Herin, one of the most
progressive farmers of the Long
Branch community, for the finest
watermelon that we have seen this
season. 1t weighed Sc pounds and
supplied more than could be con-
sumed, in "a hours by The Adver-
tiser household. Mr.. Herin grew
this enormous melon on land from
which he cut a heavy yield of vetch
hay. This will be a point for
Demonstration Agent Lott in his
advocacy of leguminous crops. Mr..
Herin did not plant the melons un-
til late in May, yet very satisfac-
tory crop was made. The large mel
on which he sent us was the marvel
of all who saw it. Mr.. Herin easily
stands at the head of melon grow
ers in the county this year. We are
grateful for his thoughtful kindness
in sharing with US so generously.

Just as Expected.

The Journal has contended all
along that while up to this time the
whiskey forces had been apparently
making no effort to stay the prohi-
bition landslide in this State, it
could be counted certain that they
were not going to let prohibition
win by default. We declared that
it was contrary to their custom to
sit idly by and see whiskey voted
out Of any city, county or State.
Sure enough the first move came
some two or three weeks back when
an effort was made to secure an in
junction which would have prevent
ed the election. This effort failed.
Now comes an announcement out Of
Columbia that ''the Local Option
League of South Carolina" has been
organized with headquarters in Co.
lumbia, and that the league proposes
to make vigorous fight against pro.
hibition in this State. Strangely
enough no names of any members
connected with the league were given
in the dispatch sent out from Co
lumbia. The people of the State
would. like to know who is at the
head of it.
1t makes no difference if two doz
en- Local Option Leagues of South
Carolina" are organized, prohibition
is going to carry in this State mex
month by a tremendous majority
Indeed we believe that it will carry
every county in the State with thu
possible exception of three or four
South Carolina is just as sure t.
vote prohibition as cold weather ii
to come this winter.-Spartanbur9

The Old "War Horse" Says
Vote 'Dry" Ticket.

Mr.. Editor:- Please allow me
space in your paper to write few
words on the blind tiger. We see it
is still being used around here aud
elsewhere. If we go to picpics or
any place of enjoyment, we find it
there. heard a fellow say some
time ago he couldn't talk to a girl
If he didn't have little whiskey
along. l always thought different
from that. If / had any they would
not talk TO me. But the day has
changed since then, 50 now let's
get in style. We might as well he
out of the world as to be out of the
style. When the ladies go to buy a
dress they get as little as necessary
to make one, SO let's do without the
blind tiger entirely. The law is be-
ing enforced, but it can be better
enforced if the good citizens will
pull together. Now remember the
l4th of Septembr and 60 the polls
early, take your wives and sweet
hearts along to seq that you vote
dry. The ladies are going to the
baseball games with their husbands
and sweethearts and l think some
times they could vote better than
the men. Even the old time darkies
say if they could vote, they would
do all they could against blind I'll
gers. 1t is our duty to fight it all
we can.

Growers of Asparagus Held
Meeting in Aiken Saturday.
Nc Cormick, S. C.

Saturday afternoon at the court
house, a meeting was held of the
South Carolina Asparagus Associa'
ton, and the members present we're
addressed by Mr.. Arthur r. Rule,
vice-president and general manager
of the North America Fruit Ex-
change.
The South Carolina Asparagus
Association is new organization
formed by the amalganating of clubs
which had been formed to procure
lcheaper rates aad Ito facilitate the
marketing of the product.
The town of Trenton, Ridge
Spring, Willlston, Blackville, Elko
and Hattieville were among the
prime movers in the organization OF
the large association.
The officers in charge are Mr.. }.
B. Knight, president; B. Il. Till
man, Jr., secretary and treasurer.
The directors of the association
are: F. T. Carwile, Ridge Spring,
B. NJ. Asbell, Ridge Spring; B. R.
Tillman, Jr., Trenton; M. q. Kitch-
ins, Williston; P. L. Shuler, Viii,
liston; D. E. Crouch, Elko; B. M.
Hair, EIko; Idis Bradham, Hattie
vile.
The association had extended an
invitation to MIR. Rule to come te
Aiken and advise the association as
to The best methods of shipping the
asparagus, and to see if the NORTH
America Fruit Exchange woulo
handle the associations product
Mr.. Rule gave the members who
had assembled an entertaining
talk, and if some of his suggestions
are followed out, there is no reason
why this section of the state can
not become the leading asparagus
market. Mr. Rule said that the
product of the association reaches
the northern market a. time wber
the market is hungry for the edi
BILE, and the prices will repay those
who ship the asparagus.
A tentative agreement between
Mr.. Rule and the association was
entered into, ana Columbia as
central shipping point was talked
of. If Columbia is chosen as the
shipping point, sales manager fur
nished by the North America Frui
Exchange will have charge of tht
office, and this manager will be as
sisted by local managers at the scat
tered shipping points.
The amount of asparagus to b'
shipped is around 80 cars for tai
season at present, but as the raiser
of truck realize the advantage O
the market, the number of car
! shipped will increase.
; Committees have been appointed
} to selects uniform crate and hav
, them properly labeled, which MI
Rule claims is one of the best fea
lures of the associations enoeavor
/ to put South Cardinals asparagu
/ on the market.

Rev. ]. E. Johnston Dies Sud
denly.

Greenwood, S. c., Aug. 27.-His
friends in Greenwood were greatly
shocked this morning to learn OF
the sudden death of Rev. j. E.
Johnston at 12 o'clock last night at
his home near Phoenix. Mr.. John
ston, with a number of his neigh
bors, had gone to the assistance OF
Mr.. jeff Witt in the attempt to ex-
tinguish fire in the latter's resi-
dence and died while on his way to
the we'll on his own piazza for a
bucket of water. He fell as he
climbed the steps and expired al
most instantly. DR.. Pratt Hender-
son, who was only q few feet dis
tant, rushed to mis- assistance, but
found him dead.
The funeral service will be con.
ductel at the residence Saturday
afternoon at 2 o'clock by DR.. E.. j.
Smith and interment will be made
in the Ninety Six cemetery at 4
O'Clock.
Mr.. Johnston was one of the best
know Baptist ministers of this ser-
ton of the state. He had served six
years as pastor of Bold Spring, Da-
mascus and Mt. Moriah churches
and during that time had nude
friends of all his acquaintances of
all denominations throughout the
country. He was a good preacher
and universally beloved man. His
death has cast gloom over the sec
ton of the county where he was
held in the highest esteem.
Mr.. Johnston was a native of
Newberry county, having been born
near Bush River church 46 years
ago last October. He married Miss
Ellen Suber of Newberry, and is
survived by her one SOD, j. E. Jr.,
who is IA years of age.
Mr.. Johnston received his collie
giate education at Furman Univer-
sity and was later graduated from
the Baptist Theological Seminary
at Louisville, KY.
