COMMUNICATED

Editor The Times:
The colored ministers and leaders
in every community in Clarendon
county should leave no stone unturned
In having negro men between the ages
Of FL and 80 present themselves at
the polls June to register for the
selective draft according to the proc
lamation of the president and the law
of the Congress. Our men should be
made to feel the risk they run in
evading the call. Our people are not
all newspaper readers. Hundreds of
us are unable to read, and others
may feel that it is light matter that
can go unnoticed 1t is a serious Of
tense to ignore the law in this mat
ter. To insist the work it would be
much help indeed if every colored
preacher in our county churches
would explain the matter from their
pulpits next Sunday. Let it be
known that in Clarendon county the
negro men heard their country's call
and answered like patriotic men. That
in no township was the law violated
in this all important matter.
/. M. A. Myers.

Clara Kimball Young considers the
role>of Sonia Sokoloff, which she por-
trays in "The Badge of Shame" to
be seen at The Pastime Theatre on
next Friday night, the greatest part
in her film career. AS an ambitious
and noble hearted Russian girl perse-
cuted by the dread Secret Police of
that dark nation, Miss Young has a
part that gives her full scope to dis
play every phase of her remarkable
dramatic gifts.

Rev. R. T. Belvin, of Walhalla, a
member of the upper South Carolina
Conference, Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, was arrested by the
city police at the Atlantic Coast Line
station at II o'clock this morning, the
charge against him being disorderly
conduct (engaging in a fight with his
wife) and carrying concealed weap-
ons, to-wit, a pistol of unlawful SIZE
He was taken to the police station, his
gun confiscated, and he was placed
under bond for appearance for trial on
June 7th.
But this is not all Of the story, nor
the beginning of the row that culmi-
mated in free fight at the station for
the possession Of their 2-year-old
child, during which Mrs. Belvin was
knocked down and rendered uncon-
scious for several minutes. While
the fight was in progress the station
agent telephoned for the police, but
before they arrived the fight was
ended by Mrs. Belvin being knocked
down and Rev. Mr.. Belvin started to
board the train for Columbia that
came into the station just then. In
the excitement occasioned by the un-
usuel spectacle of man and a woman
lighting, crowd gathered and as
some of them seemed to block the
way to the train, Rev. Belvin drew
from his pocket pistol of large size
and business-like appearance and or
dered the crowd to clear the road
and the road was promptly cleared.
But the police arrived on the scene
just then and Rev. Belvin was taken
into custody.
. But this is not all of the story. 1t
seems that Rev. and Mrs. Belvin
have had some differences and could
not live together in peace and amity,
so Mrs. Belvin taking thei rtwo-year-
old child left her husbands home at
Walhalla and came to stay with her
sister who lives in the country near
this city. This morning Rev. Belvin
arrived at the home Of his wife's SIS
ter. He walked in and took the child
in his arms, got into the automobile
and came to this city. His wife fol-
lowed quickly and as soon as she
reached town applied to Magistrate
Moore for warrant for Rev. Belvin's
arrest for abduction Of the child and
carrying concealed weapons. The
Warrant was issued and Rev. Belvin
was arrested. He gave bond and was
released. Magistrate Moore placing
him also under bond to keep the
peace. He then proceeded to the de-
pot where he purchased ticket to
Columbia. Mrs. Belvin followed and
ascertaining from the ticket agent

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose mother insisted
on-castor Oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.

Mothers who cling to the old form OF
