THREE LAURENS MEN

Washington, March 10.-Governor
Cooper, who has been in Washington
during the last few days. Senator
Dial who has been in the national
capital on official business and Ad-
miral Samuel MCGOWAN, have been
the subjects of several little human
interest stories. A coincidence is
that all three are from Laurens, S. C..
Taking South Carolina's new sena-
tor first, it said that all kinds of
plans are being laid to get him in
line with various propagandas such
as woman suffrage, repeal Of the es-
pionage laws. etc., but those who
know the Laurens man are thorough
ly convinced that he belongs to the
"amphibious" class. This is the
storys about the 'amphibious.
Once an up country negro visited
the seacoast near Charleston and saw
his first alligator. Turning to his
companion he said: whats dat?'

Governor Cooper was attending
the White House conference Of gov
ernors. Some one had to pull the ole
North Carolina and South Carolina
"ncker" story again and proposed
that the two governors drink water
instead Of the real stuff. Then some
one who knew Governor Cooper said
Hes used to water; he's a Baptist.
Admiral Sam McGowan has anoth

March 7. 1913.
Dear Dad and Mary
No man can ever know what a
grand and glorious feeling It is un-
til he experiences it himself. Words
fail 'te.expssss it and all that l can
say is that it was one Of the happiess
moments of my life when I set foot
on American soil again this morn
ing.
We sailed from Brest, France, Feb.
2srd, at Z in the morning, aboard the
British Star liner Vedic- The voyage
was without incident except rough
weather and water. We also had
quite a bit of sea sickness for the
first 4 or 5 days. We arrived il
Boston harbor yesterday afternoon,
the 9Th of March, and landed this
morning. So you see we we're quite
a little while on the way over and
Of course It grew aWrul ureSome.
The people of Boston sure gave Is
a rousing reception and we certainly
appreciated it too. Lots Of cigar
cites, candy and doughnuts galore.
I am sending you several clippings
that / got out of the Boston Globe
this morning. Probably you can get
some idea of our joy from them.
Think l will be on my way South
by Monday night and expect to be
discharged in a, week Or so. Will go
to Camp Green at Charlotte from
here and will be mustered out there
Will write again as soon as I get
there.
With love to all.

AVE WE DONE OUR BEST
FOR THE FAMINE SUFFERERS!

As result of the canvass in Mex
.erry last SABBATH $556.19 was raised.
From outside of Newberry thee re-
ports have been received with a con-
tri5, ton of S29.15. 1t can not be
possible t,,st the earnest requests that
have gone. &c every community IN the
county have been disregarded The
p7oDle WHO live in the country are th,
mos. sympathetic people in the world.
Surely they have not refused this call
for the starving people Of the Near
East.
Some Have Made Excuse.
81 have given till 1 am tired CIV
ing" This Goes not help the starving
people of Turkey. Put yourself in
the place of starving man and think
of people blessed with plenty reason
ing in this way. If we rise no higher
let us at least observe the Golden
Rule. Past faithfulness does not alb
solve us from present responsibility
81 have already given to this fund. y
So have most of us. and we are will
ing to give again if the need cen
,inues. The extent Of, the need and
OFT ability to help is the measure OF
our responsibility. Some of us have
s3ent more on luxuries since we
1iade our contribution than we have
to save life. New opportunities
create new obligations. Law says
What must do?'' Love says,
What can do?"
Il have so many other calls 1 can
not give to this fund.- Duties do not
conflict. It is possible that you have
given first place to less urgent cal!
It is possible for one to be so busy
with details; that he loses sight of the
main issue. When Christ saw the
hungry multitude he said to the dis
cirles: "Give ye them to eat" "Chari
ty never faiieth."
An Earnest Plea.
If yot, 6id not take the Offering in
your Sabbath school last Sabbath be
sure to take it next Sabbath This re-
quest is made of every SABBATH school
in the county. II your congregation
and community has not had part
in this work will you not yet appoint
committee and have the work done:
The leaders who have been asked tc
organize this work in each community
have a big responsibility. Your fail
ure will involve many others who
want to do their full duty. Be sure
to send in your report by Monday
March II. This extension has been
made. Let us finish this work and
report by that time. Let us each one
form the firm resolution: IF this
work fails the responsibility will not
be on me-" The hands Of starving
children are held up to you as you
press on your busy way. Will you
give them aid, or pass by on the 9TH
er side? Today is late for mercy S
errand; tomorrow the voice that cries
may be forever hushed.
