citizen who appears before the city ia
theirs and talks right out in meetin'."
Not every town, however, has among
its councillors member with sufficient
moral backbone to answer back. as did
John Hammer of western town whose
name is of no consequence. Concluding
his arraignment, the prominent citizen
hurled this thunderbOlt at the board,

| here the writer wishes to bear witness
to the wonderful staying powers Of
that mother, as, with the greatest pa
thence, fortitude and quite, she bore
up so courageously, both then and IN
the subsequent days.
On Monday afternoon at two o'clock
the funeral of Mrs. Alden was held
from the Episcopal church Of the Holy
Faith at Inglewood, California. The
beautiful church, which is considered
to be one of the architectural gems
of the Pacific coast, was beautifully
decorated with many lovely flowers
while the many exquisite floral trib-
utes sent by friends of the stricken
family all bore witness to the respect
and esteem in which they are held
Mrs. Mitchell and Mrs. Schleusener,
members of the old church choir at
Sank Centre, sang the sweet and fa-
niliar hymn, tLead Kindly Light
Amidst the Encircling Gloom" The
Rector took as a text, "As we have
born the image of the earthly, we shall
also bear the image of the Heavenly"
He spoke Of the comfort afforded by
a positive faith in comparison with
those who mourn without hope in ?
hereafter. He spoke of the hard thinge
of life, the things difficult to under
stand, the hidden things, the daily
problems which daze the human mind
at times, and ended by ikening us to
- L. Nth vrch1oy, in
arithmetic to be worked out on slatee
in a given time. With tears and drea :
we confess to the teacher that we ar"
unable to work the problem and we
fear the displeasure and punishment
because of our inability, but 10, as we
show the slate to the school master
he says, "Children, your tears beer
witness to your efforts to solve thu
problem, but your tears have also
wiped out the problem. So, he said
it would be with the love of our Father
in Heaven. It would not be punish
ment for our inability to undorstan'
the hard things of life, but forgive
ness of our ignorance. The service was
largely attended, and among the cor
gregation were many who had former
ly lived in Minnesota.
The same Rector who officiatod a.
the marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. AIDE
and who likewise baptized their it'll
bow in the old church at Sank Centre
officiated at her burial, viz: the Rev
S. L. Mitchell, now Rector of the
Church of the Holy Faith in Ingle-
wood, California.
From the Church the funeral pro
ceeded to Inglewood Park, which ie
the finest cemetery in Los Anoolee
county. There. on "Sunnv Slope" all
that was mortal of our friend was
laid quietly and reverently awav to
rest in the confidence of a certain
faith. in the comfort of reasonable
RELIGIOUS and holy hope. %

A negro boy lost his life in pecul-
lar manner Sunday afternoon. The
family lives on Mr.. Bachman Crom-
er's place in No. township. In the
absence Of the rest of the family at
church the boy, Coley McMorris, about
IA years old, attempted to get in the
house through window, the doors be-
ing locked. The window being out oe
his reach he place box so as to reach
it from that advatngtae. He had raised
the sash when the box slipped, caus-
ing him to let go to save himself from
falling. That is the supposition, as
Lis body was found hanging from the
window with the sash on his neck. The
falling Of the sash smothered him
without breaking his neck. He was
dead when found about four o'clock
that afternoon. Coroner Lindsay and
Deputy Sheriff Dorroh went to the
place. but no inquest was held as it
was purely accidental. The boy was
only trying to get into his home.

It is essential for the community

CONGRESSMAN DOMlNICk
INVESTIGATING COAL SHORTAGE

There has been talk for some TINA
of the shortage in coal. This situation
exists all over the country. In New
berry it is going to be felt by the man.
| ufacturing enterprises unless some
thing happens to relieve it very soon.
The mills here get power from the
Southern Power Company but at this
season of the year when the water in
the rivers is low they have to resort
to steam and the coal supply is short
Realizing the seriousness of the sit
uation caused by the shortage of the
coal supply Congressman Fred H.
| Dominick, of the third district, has
taken the matter up with F del Admin
| istrator H a. Garfield, Washington,
| D. c., and has asked that immediate
| relief be afforded. Many complaints
have come to Mr.. Dominick recently
! from the heads. of large textile man
featuring plants throughout the third
! district, as we'll as from the mayors
of various towns in the district, n
which the seriousness of the situation
, was stressed.
j Upon receipt of this information
Congressman Dominick promptly took
the matter up by wire with the fuel
administrator, and has enlisted the
, cooperation of that official. Complying
with the request of Mr.. Garfield, Mr..
Doniniok promptly wrote to the
mayors and mill presidents in the
third district, requesting that the in
i formation desired by the fuel admins
!. tration be furnished him promptly,
when it is hoped. definite action will
be taken by the government to relieve
the very acute situation. He has re-
J quested the mayors to take the matter
up with the coal dealers and other in
advise him promptly in regard to the
situation, and it is confidently believed
that as result of the efforts now be-
ing made, relief from the coal short
age will soon follow.
The telegraphic correspondence be-
tween Congressman Dominick and the
fuel administrator in regard to the
matter. follows:
! Newberry, S. c.. October 10, 1917.
! Hon. H. A. Garfield,
Fuel Administrator.
Washington, D. C
Coal situation in my. district is be-
coming acute. One-fourth of textile
manufacturing plants of South Car
'-olina are located within my district
and unless immediate relief is given,
production of essential textile goods
will be curtailed and many plants
probably forced to close down until
relief is afforded. There will also be
: individual suffering on account of coal
shortage No fuel administrator has
yet been appointed for South Carolina
and on behalf of our people and oar
manufacturing industries. I appeal to
you for relief Please advise me by
wire, what, if anything can be done,
and when, AMI what steps shall be
taken.

We have not changed our opinion as
to the Sabbath campaign, but having
been conscripted, and these being war
times, we decided that We would go
at the command of the commanding
officers, and do our duty as hyst we
could, even though the doing Of it was
not in accord with our views. They
saw in war it is not the duty Of the
private to question the reason why but
simply to obey.

know of the appointment though we
had some fifty to one hundred present,
and we tried to explain in as plain

INFERNAL MACHINE WHICH EX

HARMLESS AFFAIR.

Chicago. Nov. 17.-With the arrest OF
two men. one of them a German named
Mueller employed as a scene painter
at the Auditorium theater, federal
agents tonight thought they were on
the trail of persons who conspired 20
create a panic during. the operate per
formance there last hight by the ex
plosion of a bomb.
Analysis OF the bomb. which revealed
number OF buckshot, together ith a
considerable quantity of powder, gave
contradiction today TO those who were
inclined 70 scoff at the seriousness of
the plot.
The fact that the bomb contained eX.
plosives enough If ignited TO throw the
whole audience into panic convinced
officials both of the government and of
the city that its presence in the audit
orium was conceived by desperate per
sons.
The federal authorities refused to let
IL be known what had led 10 the arrest
Of the two men. or what they had learn
ed through cross-questioning them. Mu-
eller and the other suspect were held i'm
custody i'm secret They will be ques-
toned further.
