A Much Misunderstood Woman

"Wife of Minister Entertains Women" says a
headline. The article goes on to say how the wife
of Presbyterian clergyman in nearby town
entertained members of society. We wonder
how many church members ever stopped to say
kind word for the preachers wife, or know
what trying position she holds.
Every member of the congregation believes
he or she has right to criticise the preachers
wife, and they exercise that alleged right with
an acerbity and cruelty that makes us shudder.
If the minister's wife wears black, she ought to
buy clothes with bright colors. If she Wears a
hat with pink ribbon she is accused of being
giddy and flighty. If her sons and daughters
enjoy life, she Is scolded for being an unfaithful
mother. If the boys and girls are serious mind
ed, the mother is chided for not rearing children
that shave some life about them" If the pastor
wears frayed tie, because his congregation does
not pay him enough salary to afford better tie,
the members blame the poor wife for permitting
her husband to wear shabby clothing. If the
poor woman is ten minutes late at meeting of
the ladies' aid society because she had to attend
to the baby some carping critic berates the
preachers wife because she cannot keep ap-
pointments.
A preachers wife has few joys in this life
We hope she gets more than the allotted share
when she enters the golden gate. Besides her
cares, she often takes care of the sick in the
congregation, helps dress poor children, does mis-
sionary work and what not, and the thanks she
too often receives is ungrateful criticism.

Abe Martin asks, whats become O tn Teller

Etation?" The answer is that the generation has
almost died out. The log cabin school and it's
successor, the little red school house, are mark
ters in the growth Of Indiana's school system. In
their places stand sanitary buildings construct
led according to plans that are the last word for
buildings to house school children. With the dis

The Automobile Parade.

The automobile parade of about
ilfty~ cars on yesterday afternoon was
feature of the Fashion Show Day
events which attracted no little at
tention. Not as many cars as had
been expected joined in the parade,
but there were still sufficient to make
it quite q display. Many of the cars
were decorated with banners Of va
rious mercantile establishments,
while others merely carried the name
of the agency which handled them.
A feature of the parade was the
large number Of Dodge cars in it. The
Sumter Motor Company had sent out
notices to all of the owners of Dodge
cars that they would wash up the,
cars free of charge, If the owners
would run their cars in the parade.
Many owners took advantage of this
opportunity to have their cars clean
cd up free of cost and as result
there were about forty Dodge cars in
the paraue. IHcrc were also a num-
Der of Overlands. or other cars,
there were a variety. but not sufii
cient number of any one make to be
noticeable.
During the intermissionS and pre-
vious to the beginning of the pro-
gram of fashion events, Metz's band
played selections which charmed the
audience, the music being the best Of
its kind which has been heard in
Sumter in long time. Everybody
was Immensely pleased with the mu-
unreservedly for securing the services
of the band.

In urging that the negro students

In urging that the negro students
hitch their wagons to a star, the race,
just up from slavery, was cordially
commended for it's entrance into pro-
LESSONS and the varied phases of COM
mercial life. You are coming into
higher things" they were told. They
can't hold you back despite what L
or any other man may say" he said,
while the auditorium roared with
cheers of approval.
B. w. Nance, president of the uni
versity, was reared in Newberry coun-
ty, and the Newberry negro was the
choice OF Mr.. Blease to head the State
negro college at Orangeburg, when
an attempt was made to oust Miller,
the president of that institution, dur
ing the Blease administration. Nance
himself took occasion at the conclu-
sion Of Mr.. Blease's speech TO
deliver another laudatory speech
in which he recalled the early efforts
of Mr.. Blease at the Newberry bar,
when CrOmer and Johnstone ami
Schumpert and Welch and the late la
mented Pope were the giants in the
legal profession there" These had
dwindled into the proportions of
mere pygmies" in comparison with
Mr.. Blease, before Mr.. Blease was
elevated to the governors chair,
Nance argued. The president Of the
school commended the examples of
Mr.. Blease and Bishop ChappeIle to
the students as worthy of emulation.
Both, he said, were known throughout
the United States and it was only
through their zeal and adher-
ence to worthy purposes that they had
been able to carve their way through
untoward circumstances.

The second scene showed the
"ouns couple waiting Pn the arrival
or their guests for their house party.
The guests soon arrived in travelling
suits, ladies and gentlemen, with
their grips and satchels and soon got

conversation.
The third scene was a reception
given for the party, where all were
enjoying themselves in various ways
their dresses being according to that
prescribed by the dictates of the fall
fashion guides.
evening gowns and suits were
worn In the next and final scene
where cards were being played and the
fun was running high. However, the
game was broken up by the arrival of
a Very important telegram telling of
the big special display and sale of
goods at the Sumter Dry Goods and
Sumter Clothing Companies on the
morrow. and the curtain went down
as the members of the party depart
ed for their rooms, each having in
mind the kind of dress or suit he OK
pected to choose for herself or him
seie on the succeeding day.
AS stated above the gowns were
beautiful and there were many nifty"
suits displayed, but each one cannot
be described because of lack of time
and space. If the reader does not

wisely and as a result of judicious
selling you can make up very
largely for the shortage with
which you are confronted. The
present crop should bring Is to
20 cents. Good cotton will bring
Is cents now, and with the estab-
lished fact that there will be a
very short crop, prices will climb
steadily upward.
Notwithstanding unfavorable
conditions, with the best possible
prices obtainable. the crop should
not fall far short of last years

SEPTEMBER FIRST

Today begins another business
year for the South. The season
does not open auspiciously, yet
encouragement should not take
hold of us. Crop prospects are
not fattering, yet on the other
hand we may find compensation
for this loss in the high prices
which are due to prevail.
In holy writ seven lean years
and seven fat years were shown
in the parable of the lean and
fatted cattle, and in considering
the present state of affairs we
must not forget that more than
seven fat years have been our
portion. This country has bios
sotned like the rose. 1t has en-
joyed a prosperity greater than
it has known for half a century.
The avenues of business have
been filled with prosperous mer-
chants, farmers, bankers, me
CHI MICS, laborers and professional
men. Farms have improved in
value, good homes have been
built and cities and towns have
enjoyed unprecedented growth
and prosperity.
Remembering these, we should
not be discouraged if the imme-
date future does not present a
roseate hue.
Do not pull up and leave. Stay
on the job and fight it out and
you will be the winner. Josh
Billings said: ''Konsider the
postage stamp. It's usefulness
konsists in sticking to a thing till
it gets there"

STRIKE

Failing to effect a satisfactory
compromise, the railroad manag-
ers and employees who have been
negotiating through President
Wilson for a settlement of their
differences, broke off all negoti-
ations. The employees who were
in Washington as representatives
of their brotherhoods left a sub
committee in Washington and
departed for their homes.
President Wilson went before
both houses Of Congress and laid
before them the plans which he
hopes to be able to run the roads
regardless of the position taken
by the roads and the striking
employees.
Congress will no doubtjoin the
President in protecting the public
from the disaster that would fol-
low a tie up of the roads for any
length of time. Public sentiment
is with the President in his eff
forts to avoid any unnecessary
inconvenience or loss resulting
from the strike. Who is right
or who is wrong is a matter the
future will have to determine.
