WILSON'S VICTORY HAILED
London Editors Rejoice Over Presi-
dents Reelection

utul = NS-CiSStiOu
London. Nov. 1.-THE reelection
of President Wilson is welcomed by
The Weekly Nation as an event
favorable both TO peace and to the
cause of State liberty, and the pa
per thinks that his election offers
hopes of an earlier end to the war
agony than any nation enduring It..
can yet foresee. William Henry
Massingham, the editor, in a special
note referring to President Wilson,
says:
"The resources CT the European
craftsmanship are not so rich, nor
are its personalities so inspiring that
it can readily dispense with an acute
powerful and in some degree pro-
phetic intellect the head Of the great

trates' constables might be protected
in enforcing ejectment writs against
striking operatives Of the Equinox
and Gluck Cotton Mills, who occupy
cottages on the mill premises, and
are alleged to have resisted in arms
the magistrates process.
Recourse to the militia was taken
after Sheriff Ashley, the highest
peace-officer in the county, had tele-
graphed the Governor that he had
not vet served the writs.
"I will do this work" the sheriff
said, according to my own Judg-
ment, and if this don't suit you, you
can send up here and do it yourself.
Governor Manning said that he had
resorted to the military only in the
presence of failure on the part of
the civil arm. The troops will reach
Anderson tomorrow morning.
A. strike has been i'll progress at
the Equinox and Gluch mills for about
two months. The State board Of con-
Citation and representatives Of the
Federal Bureau OF Mediation and
Cancellation have several times en-
deavored to adjust the controversy.
The strike resulted from a demand
by the operatives for 10 per cent
wage increase. This was refused by
the mill management.

oBJECTEoNAL WORDS.

During the meeting of the Protes-
tant Episcopal Convention in St.
Louis recently proposal was made
to substitute the word "condemna-
tin" for "damnation" in several col
lects.
Many people of all denominations
have expressed themselves in IA
vor of eliminating the word
elimination" not only from prayer
books and creeds but from the Bible
also. 1t is harsh word and CRATES
upon the ears Of the present genera
ticn. Four hundred years ago, when
the King James translation of the
scriptures was made, twas not so OBJ
jectionable, but there is no good rea-
son why our English translators
should not have used the word ICON.
demnation" in every place, and not
locked for such a harsh synonym.
There is another word which is
equally repugnant to many. We re-
fer to shell" which abounds so often
in creeds, prayer books and the
Bible. This word is more to be de-
plored than the word "damnation".
The King James scholars translated
several words by one word, "hell"-
the Hebrew "sheol', and the Greek
words "hades," "gehenna" and "tar-
tarus." One of the creeds says
Christ descended into "hell." Peter
in his reference to the Saviour en-
tering the unseen world uses the
word "tartarus," the place Orpheus
penetrated in searching for his be-
loved Eurodyce. The description
of this place as given by the ancients
is in marked contrast to
the abode of the lost described by
Dante. Orpheus and Eurodyce are
represented as eventually trayersing
the Elysian fields happily reunited.
Some modern translators of the
Bible give the original words. "sheol,"
'!hades," "gehenna" and "tartarus"
and let the reader draw his own con-
illusions.
We are aware of the fact that
modern translations of the scriptures
do not appeal to the great majority
of church members. They strangely
imagine that any one who would
dare use synonym or word which
gives more accurate translation is
committing an objectionable sin.
Such should remember. however, that
the old Testament was not written
originally in English. but in Hebrew
with slight sprinkling of Syriac
and Chaldea) and the New Testa-|
ment in Greek, and that our version
is translation. No translation can
be absolutely perfect, and when
scholars of the twentieth century,
many Of whom far surpass those in
the days of King James, make. more
literal translations their labers
should be appreciated. Il
When the English translators be.

revoke a ruling issued when the Mex

about $4,000 men still held in the

The latest information of the depart.
ment is that about 100000 Natlona!
Guardsmen now are at the border
With the $4,000 regulars there and
5000 additional men called from, the
reserves, officials estimate that there
is sufficient force to cope with an!
present emergency. and will make un
necessary the dispatch OF any more
guardsmen until they are completely
Quipped and organized. Published
reports that use of general draft was

Guard ranks were denied by the de-
partment tonight. The following state
ment was issued by the official press
bureau.
