WHEREIN SOMEBODY ERRS.

To one removed from the scene of
action, though by reason of such re-
moval better able to see the issue
without prejudice, it would seem
that the North Carolina court
slipped a cog" in letting down Ma
jor George l.. Peterson, now an Of
ficer at Camp Jackson, who was
tried on the charge of embezzlement
of $1,000 from the State while acting
as disbursing officer of the North
Carolina national guard. That is
on the assumption that Major Pc
terSOn really embezzled. The court
however, found the officer mot
guilty" and that is to be taken as
meaning that officially Major Peter
son did not embezzle. Fact is, the
army officer, who has the reputation
of being right much of a politician
'OhH III cdlIpSOu county, Wnofe the

up the amount of the alleged defal-
cation with the State treasurer at
the time of his arrest, and while in
a general way that is usually taken
to mean that prosecution will be
dropped, it was not so in the case OF
Major Peterson, and he was tried
and acquitted.
Now, Major Peterson wants his
$500 back, and who blames him?
If he did not embezzle the funds en-
trusted to his care, and the court has
said that he did not, there is GER
tainly no reason that the State should
keep his money. Indeed, his inno-
cence is not open to question, or,
If so, it is to give the court a slap in

Watson Bell, Of the Spartanburg
Journal, had his feelings hurt the
other day when he overheard a visi-
tor remark that Spartanburg was an
awful town and he would like to get
away. Bell doesn't think the visi-

heaps no blame upon him for feeling
that way.

Terminal Auditorium this year will
represent the survival Of the fittest-
no more eXperiments-the result of
long experience and the utmost skill
in automobile engineering.
Greater than ever will be the dis
play of automobile, truck and tractor
accessories, lubricants and other fit
ments. Profiting by the experience
with the first national exposition of
accessories in Chicago last summer,
the management of the Toledo auto
show has given special attention to
this most important branch of the
automobile industry and visitors will
find profitable surprise in store for
them.
The great corps of decorators have
nearly completed their work of trans
forming the mammoth auditorium in
to an amphitheater of patriotic grand
eur. SurmOuntipg corner pieces of
each booth are standards and shields
of the national colors, topped by gilded
American eagles. The red, white and
blue color scheme is carried out by
the thousands of electric lights which
stud the-canopied ceiling, and 'Old
Glory" everywhere.
Besides the superb municipal pro-
grams each afternoon and evening
the pleasure and comfort of the visit
ors is further assured by cosy rest
rooms for the ladies and smoking
rooms for the men.

Sunday School Lesson
COMMENTS BY REV. ERNEST BoURNER ALLEN, DID,
Pastor of the Washington Street Congregational Church
and the Marion Sunday School, Toledo, Ohio

was told by his mother that in heaven
every day would be Sunday! He
pondered the statement for a time
and is then said to have inquired
whether his mother supposed he
would be allowed to go down to the
other region and play with any little
boys whom he might find there F!
There are forms of play which are
perfectly proper for child on the
Lords Day. He ought not to be left
to shift for himself. His reading
should be carefully selected and en-
couraged. The Sunday School and
the Church service are wholesome
places of education and help. The
home which omits these from the life
of it's children is deliberately depriv-
ing them Of great inspiration and
reinforcement for their life duties.
II the parents who look back with
a measure of regret upon some method
of observing the Lords Day in their
childhood would earnestly turn their
attention to making the day a CHEEKY
one for the children around them, a
great deal of good would be accom-
plished. 1t is not enough to whine
and criticise about the past 1t is
our duty to make the present what is
should be.

The Toledo Automobile Show

Careful survey of industrial condi
tions at the beginning Of this year
indicates that the farmer has risen
to the head of the ranks Of producers
of the nation, and with his rise he
feels his power and comes forth in
the full, fresh vigor of a new con-
( queror, with solid wealth from his
stOrehouse, demanding the best there
is to be had for the equipment and
maintenance Of his business.
The agriculture has at last become
an intensive business for everyone
who owns bit of soil that will grow
grain or vegetables, and he is begin
ming to find that he can reap from the
, land dollars where his father and
grandfather only culled a few pen
MES
The entrance of the United States
into the great world war has not only
forced the necessity for intensive ag'
riculture, but it has refined the auto
mobile up to the highest degree as an
implement of universal necessity and
made the employment of the gasoline
driven vehicle Il mark of intelligent
thrift.
This lesson of the great war will be
most forcefully presented at the tenth
annual Auto Show, to be held in the
| Terminal Auditorium in Toledo the
| week of~February IL to 16, under the
auspices of the Toledo Auto Shows
Company and the management of H.
v. Buelow
The 1918 show is sure to give
greater satisfaction than the former
successful shows, because it will sub
ordinate luxury and fashion to econo-
mical utility. the new models having
| been brought to the highest state OF
! perfection and durability through the
lessons gained by the severe usage of
thousands of automobiles on the Eu-
ropean battleiields and in the big
American training camps.
The success of General Manager IL.
| V. Buelow in staging his great ma
| tional farm shows In Toledo has
brought him in intimate contact with
| the necessities Of agriculture and the
desires OF the government for increas-
ed production. Equipped with this
knowledge, Buelow has departed from
the old rut and has arranged in this
| show to give the nation what it wants
most just at the time when it is most
desirable-the highest perfected types
of passenger cars. tractors and trucks
for every use in city. town and coun-
try. with emphasis on the business
utility of these vehicles.
This show will demonstrate how
the automobile is winning the war
at the battle front by transporting
troops, munitions. supplies and equip
ment, as nmbnances for conveying
the wounded. in the form of travelling
kitchens and bakeries; on the farm in
the form OF tractors for plowing and
cultivating and as farm trucks fOl
marketing the crops and bringing pro
visions from the city: between mar.

III.-Preparation for the Lords Day.


DR.. J. r. Miller tells the following
story and makes practical applica-
ton. 'Some years since a party of
Americans were about to leave Cairo
for a journey across the desert. Be-
fore setting out they bought vessels in
which TO carry water. Each one chose
the kind of vessel that pleased him.
One picked out vessels of brass.
Another purchased porcelain vessels
Of rare beauty. A third, however, took
plain earthenware bottles. The way
across the desert was long and weari-
some. The heat was intense. Every
drop of water was of value. The brass
/ vessels heated, and the water was
made impure and unfit for use. The
costly porcelain jugs cracked in the
heat and the water was lost. But the
plain earthenware bottles kept the
water pure and sweet until the jour
ney was ended.
I'VE go out every morning to trudge
| over desert paths. We should be sure
that on the Sabbath we make prep
aratiOn that shall not fail us on the
journey. Mere idle rest will not give
| it to us. We cannot get it from the
! Sunday newspaper, from the latest
novel, from mere literary books. OF
from Studying works of art. But
| if we turn our faces to Gods house
| on Gods day, and commune with
Him, filling our earthenware vessels
/ of faith and love with the water OF
life, We shall not faint by the way"

Our people must awaken to the reali-
cation that this is not a civilized war and
that we are fighting a nation Of the highest
civilization which decided, long ago, that
this should not be a civilized war. The dis
position of the Anglo-Saxon races to take a
sporting and chivalrous attitude toward their
enemies was discounted in the German
school of warfare. Plans to take advantage
of it were eagerly and scientifically arranged.
The use of poison gas, the dissemination Of
disease germs. the bombardment Of unforti-
fed cities, the despoliation of the young
women of captured territory, the sinking of
unarmed passenger vessels, were all details
of a deliberate preparation for ~frightful-
ness, and the utmost care was taken to keep
the murderous planning secret, so that its
effect might not be lessened by anticipation
of it. The Prussian manner of thought and
the conception which the Prussian has of
warfare make it impossible for us to treat
him as a Christian and civilized opponent"
