Prof. Smith Talks Interestingly on
| Community Civics.

Prof. Reid Smith of the Uniyersitv
OF South Carolina made very inter.
esting talk last night on community
cfvics to an extremely small Audience
at the Young Mems Christian Associa- i
ton, where he spoke under the aus.
pices of the Business Mems Club.
Although 1.-THE audience was sn,a1f
those present heartily enjoyed Prof.
Smiths remarks. which were in
structive and furnished his hearers
food for future thought.
In dealing with his subject Prof
Smiths chief point was that it was
the character of the citizenship which
made the character of the place. It
was not the commercial. social, politi-
cal or religious bodies, he said. which
made the community, but the charac-
ter of the people who belonged to
those bodies. In following out this
line. he pointed out that the citizen
must be taught what is best for the
community. He pointed out the nu-
merous things that "a community
needed and public opinion should be
formed SO that all OF the citizens
snouid work for those things. The
importance Of community welfare, as
tney dealt with himself and his COM
munity and the social and government

for all of those in attenaancs, al-
though the crowd was not nearly SO
large as WIS expected, the rain hav.

out-of-town visitors from attending,
The hall was prettily decorated
with paper festoons of Shriner ,colors.
green and a big Shriner 'pennant was
draped in the center of the hall. The
dance commenced shortly before 10
O'Clock and continued until two. The
music by the Rex Orchestra was ex-
Fceslent and the orohestra- proved en-
ceedingly accommodating, responding
to many encores.
A feature of the dance was the
drill given by the Sumter contingent
OF the Arabic Patrol. which went
through the six distinct maneuycrs
which the entire patrol will give at
the Imperial Shrine at Buffalo. The
drill was pretty feature Of the even

SEM AND w

Editor e. l.. Sem Of the Deadwood
Daily Telegram has suffered but tenn
parary loss, we opine, in the destruc-
ton of bis typesetting machine and
the injury done his newspaper press
by the hoodlums who broke into his
Office between darkness and dawn.
Sem has been waging war on vice
since the establishment of his news
paper, and, unlike the larger portion
of reformers, whose work is but spas
modic, he never sleeps on the job,
barring his physical requirements.
Although radical in utterance and
specific in statements, Sem his in
yariably kept within the bounds of
refinement in the language that he
has employed to set forth his views.
Therefore, there is lacking the *
cuse of undue excitement arising from
venomous comment for the act of
the wrecbers.
Sem is more fearless than the
devil, and, barring the element of sus-
tanned endurance, a quality attributed
to his Satanic Majesty, is equally act
i've within limitations. If there were
eleven other prominent men who
would stay with Sem, in season and
out of season, rain or shine, hail or
snow, notorious vice would be driven
out of Deadwood.
But, be it said to the credit of Dead
wood, but few people of the city
countenance the drastic course pur-
sued by the midnight raiders. Scores
of those who have not agreed with
Mr.. Sem with respect to the kind of
fight he has waged severaly condemn
the act which resulted in the de-
struction of his property.
There is a statewide movement to
render Mr.. Sem assistance in this
hour Of possible financial embarrass-
ment.
The Saturday News suggests, mere
ly as a note of warning to those who
resort to such means as reported
from Deadwood in an effort to throt-
tie the press, that each newspaper in
the state send MIR. Sem the amount of
a years subscription.
This would be an investment, not
a mere donation.
