MEETING AT CHAPLIN
TO TALK OF CHANGE
Question of Getting Town and Other
Territory into Newberry County
Discussed.

,, The State.
Newberry, Feb. IA meeting was
held at Chaplin yesterday afternoon at
4 o'clock in the Woodman's hall to con-
slider the question of getting that
thriving town and adjacent territory
tinto Newberry county. A delegation
from Newberry county was present at
the meeting by invitation, consisting
of T. Roy Summer, Gus B. Summer,
|C. H. Cannon, Geo. K. Summer, Jr.,
Jas. B. Hunter, B. V Chapman. George
|B. Cromer, w. G. Mayes, from New
berry: DR.. Geo. Y. Hunter, Jas. D.
Quattiebaum, w. W. Wheeler, from
Prosperity; w. =. Shealy, W. A.
Counts, from Little Mountain. There
was a good attendance of representa-
tive citizens of Chaplin and the sur
rounding community. Col. J. II. Frick
of Chaplin presided over the meeting
and J. B. Addy was chosen secretary
and treasurer.
After the object of the meeting had
been fully explained by the chairman,
speeches were made by DR.. George
Y. Hunter, B. v. Chapman and George
B. Cromer-all strongly in favor of the
movement-and by Job Wessinger and
S. J. Clark of Chaplin, the former ad-
vocating the proposition to get into
Newberry, the latter advocating re-
naming in Lexington county. A gen.
eral discussion took place, in which
a number of citizens took part, the
prevailing sentiment Of the meeting
being evidently in favor of Newberry.
No definite line or border was agreed
upon, but the idea seemed to sbe' to
strike the Richland county line 'at or
near Killers and the Newberry line
about the Saluda river; the matter OF
detail, however, was left to a commit
tee of FIVE citizens living in the ter
ritory interested to be appointed with,
in two days by the president of the
meeting. This committee will go over
the situation carefully and make re-
port to subsequent meeting, to be
called by the president.
If this committee should make a
report fayoring the proposition. the
next thing would be survey includ-
ing definite borders; petition asking
for an election on the question would

PRESIDING ELDER THOMAS
ON THE RACE QUESTION.

Mr. Editor: Here of late we have
read through the press and heard
through negro mass meetings and
Race Conferences, many things con-
corning the negro and the ballot; and
! to our mind, some of these saying are
injuring and prejudicing our case. 1t
is true that the Negro has held few
minor Offices when he was less pre-
pared, Intellectually, for them; but he
has never controlled the government
and never will. 1t can't be true that
the negro wants the ballot to place
negroes in office; because nationally
! there are SS,o00,0G0 whites to 12,0O0,-
oOG blacks, and the same pro rata will
hold good in our counties and States
generally; but we believe we ought
have the ballot to help say what white
gentlemen ought to hold Office. New
berry county and city are blessed in
having excellent officers who give
every man his turn and square deal
regardless to color; and we believe
that we ought to be able in tangible
way to show our high appreciation to
this class of gentlemen, for their ex-
cellent ccurtesies toward us and we
further believe, that unless we are
permitted to show tangible apprecia-
ton, that these excellent courtesies
hwill not last always, and even they
themselves will feel differently toward
us.
!. Faith is ,ne substance of things
hoped for and the evidence Of things
not seen" We believe faith and hope
are twin sisters and go hand in hand.
and they are the vehicle in which one
rides to the goal and when the goal is
reached, they in fruition die. Illus
tration: We have faith in God through
our Lord Jesus Christ that we will
get to Heaven, upon the vehicle of
faith and hope We ride when once
landed we have no more need for the
vehicle. II person has no future and
if there is no need to pray or if the
future is dark and obscure and he
must forever stumble in the dark
amidst rocks and precipices, no one
could make an intelligent citizen out
of such one, nor develop the best
that is in him. And we finally believe
that perpetual stumbling in the night
with no ray of light ahead would
eventually make coward out OF an
angel.

Presiding Elder of A. NJ. E. Church,

spend the ninety days within the
narrow confines Of q cell, unless the
supreme court renders an adverse de-
cision.
The trial started June 35th and
ended July 18th With . verdict ol
guilty. The jury was composed Of
farmers, the very class Of men that
>To1nley and the other leaders Of the
Nonpartisan League are exploiting in
this state. The evidence Of witnesses
showed conclusively that Townley
and Gilbert had taught dislo5alty Mn
their speeches while the war was ct
its height and when the blood Of
American soldiers was being shed on
the European battlefelds TO uphold
the ideals Of this government and
sustain .ne country's honor.
Some Of the statements attributed
to Townley and GilYert during the
war by witnesses "-.o heard the
speeches they delivered are.
I'VE are against the war, but we
can not afford to ..-yertise it."
"Townley said that in German
conmunities it s..s all right to set
forth our views about the war 80 az
to humor them a little but not to
make It too strong"
The red flag was "the' emblem Of
me oppressed" and both Townley and
Gilbert urged It's use and condemned
action toward suppressing It: -
eve Of North ,Dakola are not afraid
Of the red Tag"
"Men should not invest money in
United States bonds and that the
United States soon would be bank
rupt Il we continue in this war"
The state proved at the trial that
Townley and Gilbert by their activi-
ties and in their speeches had been
"hampering> the. governments war
