Lowndesville, April 16.-The new
Methodist church was dedicated by
Bishop Darlington on last Sabbath
in the presence of at least $50, who
filled the pews, Sabbath school room
and aisles to the fullest capacity
The Bishop chose as text, Psalms,
84:2. "The Lord loveth the gates OF
Zion more than all the dwellings of
Jacob" With this Scripture as a
basis he proved to his listeners in
language, pure, simple and convinc-
ing, that the goth Century church OF
Christ is the greatest Institution in
the world. Bishop Darlington, by
his pleasing, informal manner won
his congregation at the start and
held them under the spell of his elo-
quent sermon until the close of the
services. He has a fine pulpit ap-
pearance and is a magnetic speaker,
whose tender, sympathetic nature
shone throughout his entire dis
course. It was the privilege of a
lifetime to listen to- the eloquence
and inspiration Of this gifted man,
who is the youngest bishop that has
ever presided over the diocese of
the two Carolinas. The dedicatory
service was short but impressive,
conducted by the Bishop, assisted by
Presiding Elder Leonard, Revs. ]. F.
Anderson and W. S. Martin. The
schoir rendered a beautiful musical
program, assisted by Messrs. Jones
and Rast of Anderson, and Mr.. Thos.
Baskin of Iva, and a quartette from
Greenwood, Messrs. Arlington, Ruff,
Grengin, and Geo. Harper. Mrs.
Robt. Moseley was organist. Due to
the thoughtfulness of Mr.. D. L.
Barnes, handsome purse was given
the Bishop, much to his surprise.
Everybody rejoices with the Metho-.
dists over the erection Of their beau
tiful church and the entire town is
proud Of it.

The Old Order Passes Away.

For the past several years the successful candi-
date for governor of Florida been elected upon
direct issue espoused by him in presenting his
candidacy to the people. In the contest between
Captain Broward and Col. Robert w. Davis, it was
the drainage of the Everglades, and the opening of
that body of land to homestead by the people.
Park Tramme1l elected on his personal popu-
arty probably but the failure of his opponents to
wage an aggressive campaign doubt contributed
much to the Gilchrist won on the local op-
ton issue against statewide prohibition, and
Cats his fanatical opposition to the Catho-
lies and promise cruelty them
But what of the two great issues that Broward
and Cats espoused Thousands upon thousands of
dollars of the states money has been spent upon
the Everglades project and the Glades remain I'M
drained while if they should be drained not a
single will be open to homestead.
The Catholics still among enjoying the
right religious belief guaranteed them by the fed
eral and state constitutions, and of the gov
ernor's has married sweet Catholic girl and
taken her his fathers home. Thus the two
greatest issues of the past twenty-five years a
nullity.
What will be the main issue of the candidates for
governor the editors mind at present
it appears that the issue between Cary Hardee and
Van Swearngen, the two leading candidates. will be
conservatism and radcalism.

No Change in Congress.

j. H Smithwck leaves today Washington,
after spending few days in Pensacola and other
West Florida towns flying visit his constitu-
ents, whom he is serving with much honor.
Mr. Smithwic5, while not native of Florida ha s
no who has represented this district is
better known better liked. A man of the people,
knowing the section thoroughly he does, he is
in position to them effectively Popular as
he at the time of his election, his popularity
increased four-fold, and he goes back to Washing
ton with the assurance of splendid support.
The Milton Gazette, which is supporting Mr..
Smithwck, most of the West Florida news
papers, has this to say of his candidacy:
Hon. j. III. Smithwick, who is home from
Washington for short visit during the congress
sional recess came up from Pensacola for a
short visit today while enroute to Panama City.
Mr.. Smithwick is in prime condition physically,
despite the fact that he has been putting in from
ten to twelve hours day looking after the
country's interests since May.
To say that Mr.. Smithwick is making good as
representative not only Of West Florida, but of
the entire state, and member the
great national congress is but stating a that
even his opponents will attempt to deny. He
convened last spring. and became familiar with
workings OF that body before he entered
upon the active duties of his position. Since
then he has been constantly the job attended

toward women's work which tends to
undervalue it because it is done by
women; and because of the weaker
bargaining power of women, which has
led them to accept less for their work
than men receive, it is recommended
that the reconsideration commission,
in fixing the salary scale, give spe-
cial study to these classes of posi-
tions chiefly or entirely filled by wom-

shall not be less than is due for the
skill or training required, and not less
than is paid to men for work of cor

Florida Press Opinion,
Shall the Government Pay for Publicity !?


Now that the war is and the necessity for the
tremendous campaigns of publicity practically
over, it is being seriously suggested that the
ment hereafter. enter into regular advertising
tracts with the newspapers of country for such
publicity as it needs and for the advertising
actly as the individual business is required and
expected to pay for it
And it may be said. the government itself is seri-
ously considering the proposition with the hope OF
dealing fairly and equitably with thousands of
publications of the country.
Probably government on earth received a

try We'd with each other in spreading before their
