xSUNNERTON News NOTES

(Received too late for last issue.)
Mr.. Editor:
We had intended to have quite
newspaper letter last week, but just
about time we got all our data lined
. u@, we took the "hu" for the second
time But it was not of our own
free will and accord to wrestle with
this malady second time. But the
fact of the thing is it has been taking
it's round again, and a number of our
speople have had it some the first
time and some the second time. But
it appears now tha conditions are
much improved over week ago.
Cotton ginning seems to be the
order Of the day and has a right-of-
way over other business. The Mann
ing Oil Mill ginnery which seems to
be the only gin now in operation in
this section is crowded day in and
day out. There are lots of seed yet
in the country, and as yet very little
market for them, and some of the
farmers are wondering if there will
ABE any sale for them later. Oul
opinion is that the mills will be glad
to ugelall seed that is in good shape
-saV4ZlRand dry-but we should not
expeat they would want any damag.
cd seed, therefore it will be well tc
take good care of what seed that i:

somewhat of a sudden change last
week and several hundred bales were
marketed here while there are still
lots of it in the country yet, most of
what is being ginned now though is
being put on the market when
buyer can be found, at price some
thing like IL to Is cents the pound.
That sounds rather cheap to 35 cents
last fall but there is "leetle" diff
ference in the quality now and some
time last September, which might
have a little to do with the price,
while one fellow said the other day
that he though everybody over here
planted Glow middling."
There was quite an upstir here
among the colored population Tues
day. A telegram was received here
Monday night from Charleston an
nouncing the death of William Tin
dals and all arrangements for his
funeral was completed and his grave
dug. Then another telegram comes
Tuesday which brought the glad news
that William was still living and hat
chance to recovery. A great crowt
had gathered at the depot to ac
company the corpse to the buryinl
ground, but upon receiving the goot
news brought smile to most of thu
| folks and they soon scattered out.
Mr. j. S. Cantey returned from
Mullins the first of the week wher
he had been for several days with hi
sick son, Rev. Sam Cantey. Mr.. Can
tcy's friends here will be glad to knov

Many Jewish Converts
Jews of Hungary Are Being Instructed
and Received Into the Catholic
Church.

Some remarkable news is filtering
through from Hungary. Budapest with
q population of some million inhabi-
tants counts nearly 100000 Jews
amongst that number.
For several weeks the Jews have
been erasing their names from the
registers of the 1sraelite community
in hundreds, and are placing them
selves under instruction in the Cath
olic religion, after which they are bap.
tized. These converts come from all
ranks of society but mainly from the
bourgeoise.
The Grand Rabbi, who is deeply con-
.cerned declares that the primary rea-
son which started this exodus is the
Jews hatred of Bolshevism which is
led by Jews. Bella Kun and thirty Of
his ministers out Of cabinet of thirty
five are all Jews.

Quoting these meetings but was seem
ingly afraid to acknowledge it-I was
about to withdraw from the assem-
blage when these ruffians created an
uproar of abuse and began to rush
me across the sidewalk with the evi-
dent intent of backing me against the
wall of the Morgan Bank and treat
ing me to a taste of their strong
arm methods.
Il managed to fight off the crowd
till could attract the attention of
traffic policeman Angus Beaton, to
whom preferred charges against one
of my attempted assailants, who was
taken to the Old Slip Station house
and subsequently to First District
Magistrates Court, where I preferred
charges of disorderly conduct and
threatened assault.
II consider the incident illuminat-
ing as showing the depths to which
the campaign of the League to En-
force Peace has sunk, when they
have to hire cheap agitators to hold
meetings in the guise of book ped
dlers, and are afraid to let their con-
nection with such meetings be known"

K. Of c. LEADERS
RoNoRED BY Pope

In recognition of their untiring work
for the soldiers during the war, James
A. Flaherty, of Philadelphia, Supreme
knight of the knights of Columbus,
and District Attorney Joseph G. Pelle-
tier, of Boston, Supreme Advocate of
the organization, have been specially
honored by Pope Benedict XIV by ele-
walton to the rank of Knight Comman-
der of st. Gregory the Great. Gable
dispatches announcing the bestowal of
this honor upon the two X. of c., OFF,
cials were received yesterday.
Mr.. Flaherty and Mr.. Pelletier have
been constantly active in X. of G. war
relief work as members of the X of
G. committee on war activities.
The Knighthood of St. Gregory is
one of the highest honors that a
Catholic layman can receive from the
Church. A few weeks ago William P.
Larkin, of New York, overseas director
of the X. of c., and Edward L. Hearn.
of New York, overseas commissioner,
were similarly honored.
Mr.. Flaherty and District Attorney
Pelletier are now engaged with Su-

What irish REPl, e
EXPECTS FROM AMERICA

to be triumph of justfce-justice that
plays no favorites. England must pay
the price for lasting peace as we'll
as other nations. America is strong
enough to do that which she considers
right fearlessly.
'sThe next editorial question is:
"'Do they want us to wreck the
peace treaty because Ireland did not
get hearing at the peace table and
England is signer of the treaty?'
For a Lasting Peace.
1--WE want to wreck nothing. But
we believe with President Wilson, that
no peace can last or ought to last
which does not recognize and accept
the principle that governments derive
their powers from the consent of the
governed, and no rights anywhere ex-
list to hand peoples about from poten-
tate to potentate as if they were prop
erty.'
"And with President Wilson we hold
also that the treaties and agree
ments which bring it (the war) to
an end must embody terms that will
create peace that is worth both guar.
anteeing and preserving, peace that
will win the approval of mankind, not
merely peace that will serve the sew
eral interests and immediate aims OF
the nations engaged

The League and It's Sponsors
Backed by British Capital

Shaemas O'Sheel, the New York
poet and publicist, in a statement is
sued on July Is charges the League
to Enforce Peace with conducting a
furtive and deceptive campaign on
behalf of the>League of Nations and
alleges that English ruffians, appar-
emily are planted in audiences lis.
tening to discussions on the subject
Of the league for the purposes of in
timidating and browbeating American
citizens who are opposed to the
covenant. Mr.. O'sheel's charges are
based on his experience during an
exciting half hour at Broad and Will
liam streets on the afternoon of July
is, iq,which he narrowly escaped vio-
lence and caused the arrest of one of
his threatening assailants. Mr..
O'Sheel's statement follows:
midway between the Stock Ex-
change and J. P. Morgan & Company's
Bank observed today a meeting gath
cred about taxicab surmounted by
sign reading League of Nations
with the name of some employe of the
United States Bureau of Education
and of Solon Fieldman a notorious agi.
tator. Mr.. Fieldman, who apparently
has had no occupation during the ten
years have known him except selling
his oratorical ability to the best bid
der, was holding forth in praise of the
League of Nations to an apathetic
audience.
"Mr.r Fieldman invited questions
and I asked him who was paying for
this meeting. He ignored the ques.
tion but on each occasion when he
invited the audience to put further
questions I repeated the query in one
form or another, such as Who's pay:
ing you now, Sol?' Under whose
auspices is this meeting being run?
and why don't you display the name
of the organization on your sign?'
also asked him when he ceased tc
be Socialist.
"After Mr.. Fieldman had ignored
my questions for long time, the
audience, thoroughly siding with me
demanded that he answer. Instead Of
doing so, he started a long eulogy
of President Wilson as the greatest
living man, but this failed to deceive
the people who again demanded tt
know under what auspices this meet
ing was being held and who was
paying Mr.. Fieldman and the chauf
feur of the taxicab..

SALVAGE Department"
STARTED IN PITTSBURGH
BY the st. Vincent de Paul Society
Proceeds Will Benefit Poor
Children.

! The st. Vincent de Paul Society Of
the diocese of Pittsburg is about to
inaugurate a Salvage Department.
Other charity organizations through
out the United States have had such
Salvage Departments for years.
This now means that the local St.
Vincent de Paul Society is about to
turn into money, for the. benefit of the
Catholic poor children of the city, the
waste material that has hitherto been
destroyed, or given away to others.
A manager has been employed and an
Office has been opened. The manager
of the Salvage Department will give
his entire time to the work of collect
ing AND marketing of all waste paper,
books, rubber, metal, discarded
CLOTHES, etc.

that certain individuals were back
ing the meeting l at once asked
that he name them, and the audience
seconded the demand. Mr.. Fieldman
tried another tack by saying he was
still Socialist and that he paid for
the taxicab himself out of the profits
of the sale of book about the
League of Nations which he held in
his hand.
'This book he said was prepared
by an employee of the United States
Bureau of Education and had been in
tended for free distribution by that
government bureau, but for political
reasons it had been decided to issue
it through a publishing house, from
whom he bought copies and sold them.

shouted that the police had stopped
him from selling them on a previous
day, so cornered by the relentless
question as to who was really back
ing the present meeting, Mr.. Field
man took out card issued by the
League to Enforce Peace read the
names Of ex-President Taft, once
upon time would-be President An.
ton B. Parker, and other corporation
lawyers and representatives of big
business interests, and the wording
of the card which appointed him a
speaker for the League to Enforce

"The audience was now jeering Mr..
Fieldman as he perspired in the con-
fession that this effort to dissemin-
ate views favorable to the League of
Nations through the literary product
Of a government employee and the

Ing In their grasp, excusing them
selves by the plea that they could not
interfere in the affairs of other states,
your nation, conscious of it's mission,
listened to them and braved their op-
pressors' wrath in succoring them.
1t must surely be a source of pride
to Americans, as 1t is a source of
hope to us, to reflect that never have
they undertaken a cause that they
did not bring to triumph. The Latin
nations, as we'll as Poland, Hungary,
Greece, are now free states. Ireland,
the one remaining white nation in the
slavery of alien rule, will similarly be
free unless Americans make scraps Of
paper Of their principles and prove
false to the traditions their fathers
have handed down to them.
The leaders of the Revolution that
made America nation, while admit
ting, as we do, that a minority has it's
rights, would not concede that the
will of the minority should be allowed
to prevail as a perpetual veto on the
will of the majority. Rule Of the peo-
pie by the people would by such a
concession be reduced to an absurdity.
The very same catch.cries and the
very same tools were used by the
British government against the lead
ers of the American Revolution as are
being used today against US. But
your leaders acted and so have we
acted. The majority behind them JUS
titled them. Our majority more than
justihes us. They proclaimed their
independence and their republic. We
have proclaimed our independence and
our republic.
