With regard to Rev. r. {. Hickson
of Gaffney, we will say that we know
him. He was formerly resident oil
Yorkville. and the writer was person
ally acquainted with him. This writer
has not seen him for more than twen-
" years. but has been cognizant with
various OF his activities in that time.
Rev. r. c. Hickson is forceful char-
acter, able and energetic, sometimes
right and sometimes wrong. He has
done some things we have not been
able to approve. Possibly. IL we thor
ourhly understood the circumstances
we might look upon some OF those
things differently. We can very read
lily understand how he could get INTO
trouble on the loyalty question. He
has never hesitated to say what he
thought. regardless Of anybody, and
these are times when a man must be
exceedingly carefni as to what he says
about the war, Snd also perhaps about
things political. But we have never
been able to take seriously the idea
that MIR. Hicksor is really disloyal to
his country. Tbs contrary may be Ju-
dicially established. and II it Is so
established it will have to go at that.
Until, however. we have been con-
fronted with stronger evidence than
we vet have. We will still be Of opin-
ion that our old acquaintance Is the
victim Of the get even spirit Of some
of the people he has contraried. rather
than any actual feeling Of disloyalty to
his country or desire to hinder the sue
cessful prosecution oe the war.

only by having the high school within
reasonably easy reach. A rural sys-

schools Is already an easy foundation
for high schools. AS matters now
stand such schools are already sacri-

own proper field by trying to do work
they are not properly fitted TO do. The
primary school is one thing and the
high school is another. Change it so
the primary school may devote all its
efforts TO its own particular field. and
there will be left over something for
the high school. Give the high school

ern senators who oppose any govern
mental action toward fixing the price
or cotton presented their ccse to
chairman Barach Of the war Industries
board on last Wednesday. Mr.. Ba-
ruch promised to confer with the sem
ators again after he had had an oppor-
tunity to discuss tho matter with his
associates Of the board.
1t was agreed that no announcement
would he made On the subject until
after a second conference between Mr.
Barrch and the senator's.
Senator Smith OF South Carolina,
spokesman for the senator's, made the
Following statement:
Mr.. Baruch met with the repre-
sentatives Of the cotton producing
states acco' ding to appointment. Att

phases Of the subject were discussed,
II was agreed that Mr.. Baruch was to

After the War.

What is coming after this war in the
way OF social. political and religious
conduct?
That is an interesting question. and
a question well worth lot OF earnest
study. especially on the part of those
remaining at home.
There are some facts and conditions
from which fairly plausible deduc-
tions may be made, but the man who
thinks he can get a clear conception OF
the future is mistaken.
AS a matter of fact, there are few
very few. who have 4 reasonably clear
conception of the conditions as they
exist right now.
The man. of course. who Is inclined
to accept existing things rs right be-
cause they exist that way, is very
common and at the same time very
dull.
There are some things about the
state in which we find ourselves that
are right: hut there are very many
that are wrong. While to a large ex-
tent we are governed in our daily life
and conduct by fundamentals cstab-
lished by God Almighty himself. to an
other large extent we are governed by
traditions and conventions which, II
traced TO their beginning. would he
found to have had their origin in the
whim of designing individuals who
sought only their own precedence and
power.
Mention some of them? Yes, we
could mention a number that appeal to
us in that light; but we do not care
TO. 1t Is not for us to undertake the
revision and overhauling of social con-
ditions. We have but small desire to
tackle even the most obvious OF such
abuses. because we know we would
have only our labor for our pains, and
we are not hunting extra trouble just
at this time.
But the men who go to the war are
going TO have many Of their ideals
shattered and many of their ingrainrd
beliefs overturned. They are going to
see the real meaning of life more clear
ly than they have ever seen II before
and they are going to be less tolerant
of sham and fraud than they have ever
been. We say this because there Is
nothing better calculated to inculcate
the plain. unadorned realities of life
than are hardship and danger.
What Is known as the Civil war ef-
fected a complete change in southern
ci, iliZation. 1t overturned business,
commercial. labor. social and political
conditions. This war is taking as
large a per centage of men out of the
south as did the Civil war, and its ef-
feet on the future life Of our people is
going to be as great.
As 10 what the changes are. we do
not care to try to describe: but of this
we may be certain. 1t Is the soldiers
who are going to dominate everything
after they come back-things social,
things political. things Industrial and
things financial and commercial. They
are going to get their new ideas by
contact with the world at large, and
they are going to apply those ideas to
the conditions with which they have
always been familiar with the result
that the things in their past lives and
environment which fail to measure up
are going to be changed to suit their
new notions Of what ought to be.
