WAVE OF RELIGION
SWEEPS over JAPAN
Great Revival Of Buddhism and
C0nfuCianiSm at Hand.

Tokyo-"For the future of the state
1t Is necessary to fix the minds Of the
people on the principles of some faith,
some religion" declares the Concordia
association In a resolution recently
adopted. This organization is com
posed of leading japanese, who are la
boring to awaken the youth. The res
Olutlon, which has been forwarded to
the cabinet ministers and the members
of the diet, also says:
"Schoolteachers should not disregard
or slight or hinder the religious senses
which may be aroused in the mind and
heart of the pupil. The separation of
education and religion does not mean
that religion itself Is unnecessary"
There are many indications Of re-
vival Of Buddhism and Confucianism
In Japan. Buddhist missionaries are
showing increased efforts in Korea and
have announced their intention of OBJ
tanning stronger foothold In China.
At the invitation of Japanese the
great Hindu poet and philosopher Ia
gore is to visit Japan in October to
expound his oriental philosophy. A
great Tagore movement is now surg
ing throughout Japan.
Profound interest Is displayed in n
plan to found in that part Of China
lately wrested from the Germans a
japanese university for the study Of
the old Chinese classics and Confucian-
ism in general. The promoters, who
point out that Confucius was born In
Shangtung province, say they want to
make this university the Jerusalem
Of Confucianlsm." The idea is to
spread Confucianism and oriental NOR
al philosophy. The movement is
strongly supported by leading scholars
and business men of Japan and China,
who will bear the cost Of the institu-
ton. Premier Okuma Is one of the in
terested supporters, and prominent
scholars like DR.. Unokichi Hattori, who
will lecture ut Harvard university this
fall, will take part in the new work.

SUMMERS GARAGE
Headquarters in Newberry County For

Cars, Are Gigen Best Care.

Summers Garage, on east Main
street, is one of the largest and best
equipped automobile repair shops in
this section of the state. 1t is the
home of the Ford car, which has be-
come a necessity in every community
in this day and time. Besides selling
this popular and faithful public car
rier, Summers Garage handles a large
line of motor car accessories and is
equipped for the repair of cars of all
kinds. A full force of careful and
competent macninists is kept busy here
to do all kinds Of repairing and re-
building. cars. The garage has been
in operation for five years, and has be-
come well known all through the icoun-
try and cars are brought here from dis

try from the mountains to the sea-
board. At every gathering at which
he was to speak ne was met by long
lines of armed hersemen dressed IN
the emblematic "red shirt" giving
voice to their feeling that they would
be free or: know. the reason why"
At Newberry it was said fully two
thousand red shirted horemen met him,
hundreds from other counties.
In the end, the red shirts and the
tissue ballots elected that state
ticket. The tissue ballot" was found
to be formidable weapon in. the
hands of the minority. 1t worked in
most of the counties in the state,
enough to give the democrats the ma
chinery of government, but the ma
jority of the negroes in Newberry was
too great for even the tissue ballot"
to win. H. C. Corwin, a carpet-bagger
from Ohio, was elected to the senate
Simps Bridges, Will Thomas and Tom
Keitt, all negroes, were elected to the
house. This was the last of the "oid
guards of radicalism" III Newberry.-
But their terms in Office were of short
duration. The ingenuity Of the white
man, with the possession Of the law
making power in his hand, did not take
long to find reason for dispensing WITH
all these men but Bridges, and replac-
ing them with James N. Lipscomb SEN
ator; Y. j. Pope and George Johnstone
to the house. Bridges was retained
during his term for political reasons.
Thus after ten years of delirious an
archy, Newberry once more came into
her own
It has been fifty years and more since
our great fratricidal strife ended, and
while this generation of men have al
most forgot the causes of the war a. Id
the battles that were fought, the me1n-
ory of the women and their feelings to-
day are just as fresh and ardent az
when the guns were sounding on the
fields. The women of Newberry every
year call together the remnant of old
soldiers, spread great banquet before
them, repair to the last resting places
of the dead strew flowers and drop a
tear over the graves of those who have
answered to the last great roll call.
When the centuries roll around and
historians seek for womanhood who
they can illustrate as models of hero
ism and self sacrifice in times OF war,
the deeds of the Spartan woman will
be ignored, and it will belto the South
land they will turn, to find the heroic
mould, that will serve for all time, the
heroines of the world.
