in cloves book" time does mot
count in years or days or hours. A
thousand years truly are as but a
day. And yet as we turn the musty
pages of the book there will be those
that shine undimmed, and others will
be blurred with tears, but if love
dwells there even the tears will shine
as crystals on the pages.
Glove blossoms in flowers, sings IN
moving waters, fills the forest with
birds, and makes all the wonderful
music of Spring. 1t puts the colour
upon the robins breast, scents the
orchards with far-reaching drifts OF
bloom, and scatters the pink and
white petals over the grass beneath.
Through love the flowers change to
fruit, and birds sing lullabies at
twilight instead of mating songs"
/ 1t is a great privilege and granted
to but a few to travel life's journey
together for half a century, even
though it may seem but as yesterday
when the journey was begun. There
is another sweet blessing which love
brings to those who have been given
this great boon, if the pages OF the
book have been written with love, the
two never grow old to one another,
the spring time Of youth remains
with them the same as when the
journey was begun. To each other
thew remain the same blushing bride
and bashful groom as in the years
that are gone. 1t is wise pro-
vision of nature that it is so, for 1T
causes the halo of the spring time to
remain with them. | never look up
on a couple who have been granted
this great privilege but the words OF
Bobbie Burns in his "John Anderson,
NV Jo," come to my mind.
"John Anderson, my jo, John,
When we were first acquent;
Your locks were like the raven,
Your bonie brow was brent;
But now your brow is beld, John,
Your locks are like the snaw;
But blessings on your frosty pow,
John Anderson, my jo.
John Anderson, my jo, John,
We clamb the hill thegither;
And monte cantie day, John,
We've had wi ane anither;
Now we maun totter down, John,
And hand in hand we'll go,
And sleep thegither at the foot,
John Anderson, my jo."
Isn't it sweet privilege to climb
the hill together and when the jour-
new down is at an end to sleep in the
valley together, not to be separted in
life nor in death.
On the 18th day of November,
1869, Mr.. William c. Sigh and Miss
Sara Cannon, two young people OF
the same neighborhood, who had been
bows and girls together, were united
in marriage, and during the years
since they have lived in the saile
community and their children have
grown to manhood and womanfood
around them. and they are now at
the same place where they began

That the people of the country are
getting very, very tired of the
wrangle in the United States senate
over the peace treaty, playing poll
tics while the profteers are taking
the. country, radicalism is running
rampant, and strikes are threatening
the industrial life of the nation, is
evident from expressions heard from
one end of the country to the other.
A group of some six or seven travel
ing men, from as many states scat
tered over the Union, were telling
of conditions in their home states in
a South Carolina hotel several nights
ago, and they painted a gloomy
picture. Prices of the necessaries Of
life are getting beyond the reach of
the average wage Garner, and If the
nation runs short of coal, as it has
already run out Of sugar, the suffer
ing will be something fearful to con-
template. The fighting in the great
war ceased more than year ago, and
the people are demanding that the
senate settle the treaty one way or
the other, and turn it's attention to
domestic problems. Sugar was SELL
ing here yesterday at twenty-five
cents pound, and one could get
little more than enough to sweeten a
cup of coffee, even at that price.
Several days ago it couldn't be pur-
chased here for loye or money.
Clothing and groceries have about
trebled in price, and are still soar
ing skyward. These conditions exist
all over the state and all over the
country. The killing of people in
labor clashes has invaded the south,
and Bogalusa, Ala, was the scene Of
a pitched battle yesterday, in which
several were killed, and others in
jured. And still the senate is
wrangling over the treaty, with
very little hope of final action even
during the session beginning in
December.
The travelling men in South Caro-
yjna have about abandoned the rail-

CAPITAL NEWS AND GOSSIP
(By John K. Aull.)

Columbia, Nov. 25.-Organizations
are now being perfected for the en-
forecent of the prohibition law
throughout the country, and IN South
Carolina Prof. j. G. Clinkscales, of
Wofford college, has been made state
chairman, and DR.. C. E. Burts, OF
Columbia, vice chairman. The cam
paign to be waged will be in CO.
operation with the efforts of the
government. 1t is pointed out with
great deal of force that 'the hard
est fight for prohibition is just
ahead, and that the enforcement OF
prohibition will be more difficult than
it's enactment into law" The whole
country is catacombed with illicit
distilleries, judging by the number
that are being broken up, and the
number of defendants at each term
of the United States court, and there
have been several deaths in the
state from the drinking of wood
alcohol or concotions used as substl-
tutes for liquor. 1t is going to be
very hard to enforce the law, and it
is very doubtful if in this generation
it will ever be completely enforced.
The Florida Times-Union in a recent
editorial pointed out the rather
anomalous election recently held IN
Ohio. Statewide prohibition won,
says that paper in summing up the
situation, by considerable vote, apd
the law providing for enforcement
of prohibition was defeated; the
people to the number of half mil
lion voted against the ratification Of
the constitutional amendment, while
a few hundred less voted to confirm
the action of the legislature. The
voters also defeated the bill to
allow the sale of 2.75 per cent. beer,
<tand so the story is told. But what
it means can only be conjectured." J"
2 This newspaper goes on to point
out with a great deal of force that
primarily the majority of the mil
lion voters in Ohio have evidently re-
buked the congress of the United
States for invading the states to
regulate matters which have always
been held to be police regulations,
and assured to the several states and
sections for their own control.
But prohibition, by federal enact
M in the way of amendment to
the constitution, will be an assured
fact next January, and there is no
use to speculate upon the reasons
why. The big question now is the
enforcement of the law.

roads for the automobile, ana all ol
them are talking good roads. The
farmers are heavy investors IN auto
mobiles and trucks and tractors, and
they are demanding that the highways
be improved. The situation seems
very bright for some kind of good
roads legislation at the next session
of the general assembly, which will
at least be start towards a state
system of permanent roads.
The next legislature will have a
fine opportunity for constructive
work along a great many lines.
1t will also be called upon to vote
upon the equal suffrage amendment,
and this vote promises to be close,
though the suffragettes are extremely
hopeful.
Mr.. J. Skottowe Wannamaker, OF
St. Matthews, president of the Amer
lean COCCOl dSSoCidGlOii, e'AiA '
the South Carolina Cotton assoc1a-
ton, has issued statement in which
cotton banking and export corpora
ton is urged. He advocates an en-
largement of the state warehouse
system,. of the establishment OF a
bank to finance the crop, and OF a
company to market it. This was the
idea of the trainers of the present
warehouse law, which was enacted at
the extra session of the legislature in
1914, but it was impossible to get
through more than the bare ware
house system at that time.
The idea of ,asbank and a market
ing corporation is good one, and
such solution of one OF the many
problems connected with the raising
and selling Of cotton is coming sooner
or later.
Many of the farmers over the state
are preparing for the advent OF the
boil weevil, and getting ready for
other crops.

A very interesting case was tried
over in Camden at the term OF court
now in session, in which young
white man was convicted of murder
in connection with the killing Of an
aged gentleman, who was known to
carry large sums of money on his
person. Mr.. George GLADDEN. was
killed about daylight on September
3, while on his way to his work at
the plant of the Hardaway Contract
ing company, on the river, several
miles from Camden. He was shot IN
the back. He was known to have
had $4,000 in cash day or two be-
fore. He had left 5000 at home the
morning he was killed, and is sup
posed to have had the remaining
s1,40O on his person, tied in a little
sack attached to his suspenders,
when he was shot to death. His
clothes were ripped open, and the
sack containing the money was gone
when the body was discovered. 1t
is said that he refused to trust the
banks and that is the reason ne kept
his money on his person. Melton
Banks, about 25 years of age, also
an employe of the Hardaway Con-
tracing company, was convicted OF
the killing, with recommendation to
mercy, and sentenced to life I'M
prisonment. The evidence was purely
circumstantial, but satisfied the jury
of his guilt beyond reasonable
doubt. Banks was soldier at Camp
Jackson during the war, and was
member of the Military Police in the
city of Columbia.
An airplane has been giving exhi-
bition flights in Columbia this after
noon, in the interest of the Caro-
lima Aircraft corporation, which is
composed of local business men and
plans to sell airplanes through this
lection. The plane was brought
from Augusta in fifty minutes. 1t is
in charge of Lieut.. E. T. Gaines, of
Trenton, who was a member Of this
country's flying squadrons in France
during the war. The fair grounds are
being used temporarily as a landing
field, and passengers will be taken
for flights each afternoon from 2 to
6 o'clock.

Organ as Soldiers Memorial


In memory of Captain William S.
Sistare. Jr, Middlebury 10, who died
from influenza while in the active ser
vice of the United States army last
fall his friends in college and else
where are attempting to raise the sum
OF $4,000 for the purchase of a pipe
organ which is to be placed in the Con-
gregational Church at Sapporo, where
Sistare's father-in-law, George M. Row
land Middlebury $50 is stationed as a
missionary.
Mr.. Sistare's widow, who was Pau
line Rowland, Middlebury 1875, plans
to go to Japan the coming autumn
and take up her work in the islands
where her father has labored for thirty
two years and where the late Captain
Sistare had hoped to invest his life.
Sapporo is the capital city of the pro-
vince of Hokkado, and a particular
feature of Mr. Rowland's church in
this city of 100000 population is its
influence in musical culture. The
friends of Captain Sistare have there
fore felt that the gift of an organ to
this church would not only serve as
fitting memorial to him but also as
a means of raising the standard of
music in that oriental community.
