ALL DAY SERVICE AT
ST. PHILLIPS CHURCH

We had the pleasure of worship
ping with the good people of the St.
Phillips Lutheran church on last
Sunday. We went out in Mr.. Harry
Blease's car in company with Mr..
Blease and President Derrick of the
college and Mr.. Marion Blease.
There was an excellent sermon in
the morning by the pastor, the Rev.
S. P. Koon, and then dinner on the
ground and in the afternoon the Lu-
ther League has special service un-
der the direction of the League. Mr..
Blease had been invited to deliver
the address before the members,
which he did, and he made a most
excellent address and gave the
young people some good and whole
some advice.
There was an address by Mr.. Hamp
Ruff and then Theological Student
Derrick spoke of the young peoples
work, and then followed the address
by Mr.. Blease.
President Derrick made a strong
appeal in behalf of Newberry col
lege, and then there was an address
by Mr.. Bernard Banks on the work
of the League. The exercises lasted
until late in the afternoon, but the
congregation seemed to enjoy the
day.
Rev. Mr.. Koon and the church
council have decided to make some
very material improvements on the
interior of the church, which they
estimate will cost around $1,000, and
though this was the first time the
matter had been mentioned to the
congregation some $500 was SUBJ
scribed for the purpose at the morn
ing service, and committee appoint
ed to complete the canvass Of the
congregation. There is no doubt the
money will be raised.
The interior of the church is to be
painted and the Sunday school room
to be arranged and some improve
ments made about the altar and
carpet placed on the floor, and then
the church is to be formally dedi-
Gated. It is new church, but be-
fore dedication it vas contemplated
to have these improvements made.
This is fine community and the
congregation is strong and growing
and moving along nicely under the
leadership of Pastor Koon.

A SUCCESSFUL LAND SALE
D. LUTHER BOOZER PLACE

Some time ago we stated that the
D. Luther Boozer place at Kinards
had been purchased by Mr.. A. ]. Be-
thea of Columbia, and that he would
cut it up into small farms and sell
them at auction. He bought the
place just about thirty days ago.
| The sale was had on Monday under
the direction of the Atlantic Coast
Realty company. The place was di-
vided into about seven tracts. 1t was
bought by three purchasers, all
neighbors of Mr.. Boozer. They paid
about $4,000 more for the land than
Mr.. Boozer received for it, and for
which we have no doubt he would
have sold it to them. It is all very
strange. But people like to buy
things at auction and in competition
with others and under the excite
ment of the moment.
Mr.. Charles, one of the men in
charge of the sale, came to The
Herald and News office on Monday
afternoon just after we had put the
paper to press and told us that the
total amount paid by the three pur-
chasers was $4,000. We see it
stated, and we are told by others,
that the average price paid was lit
tie over $100 per acre. There are
627 acres in the tract and if the
price was above 800 per acre the
total price paid is a little over $62,-
900, profit over the price paid Mr..
Boozer of $4,000. Pretty good
money to make in thirty days. The
purchasers are Mr.. Thos. j. Oxner,
Mr.. A. D. Johnson and Mr.. James
Speake. The price paid Mr.. Boozer,
as stated at the time of the sale,
was $4,000.

regardless of the personal relations
which the individual may bear to us.
The stills and liquor making will
soon disappear, but there are still
some people who believe that their
personal rights have been infringed,
when the government comes along
and restricts them in what they shall
drink, but they will soon learn bet
ter, and come to know that the gov
ernment can restrict their personal
rights, as they call them, when these
personal rights interfere with the life
and happiness, not only Of themselves
but of their neighbors, and then the
stills will disappear and future gen
erations will wonder what whiskey
was really like.

the credit ~. ne discovery of the
stills reported in the last issue to
whom the credit really belongs.
The credit for the discovery of the
stills in No. 8 township as reported
in the last issue, as we understand
from the officers themselves, is real
" due to Revenue Officer Rector of
Greenville and Rural Policemen
TAYLOR and Dorroh, and in order to
have the cooperation of all the law
officers of the county in running
down the illicit distilling Of liquor
and bringing the violators of the law
to justice they invited Policeman
Duncan of Prosperity to go along and
assist in the raid, which he did. An
other error in the report of our cor
respondent, as we learn from Sheriff
| Blease, is the statement that some 40
gallons of whiskey was found at the
home. of Mr.. Morris. AS matter
of fact, no whiskey was found at the
home Of Mr.. Morris at all, though
still was found at his house. The
liquor captured was found at the
house of the negro Jim Green.
We regret these errors because it
is always the desire of The Herald
and News to give credit to whom
credit is due, and to render unto Cae-
sar the things that are Caesars, and
we are sure there was no intention
on the par of our correspondent to
do injustice to any one, or to fail to
give credit where it should have been
given.
While on the subpect we desire
to say that we do not play up the ar
resting and bringing to justice the
violators of the liquor laws any more
than we would the bringing to JUS
tice of the violators of any other law.
In fact, we think that there are other
laws just as important, and the in
fringement of which should be pun
ished just as much, as the violators
of the liquor laws. For the past rs
years it has seemed that in the minds
of some of our good citizens it was
more important to enforce the laws
relating to liquor than any other law,
and the legislature and some others
have spent a great deal of time dis
cussing it. We would be glad to see
or to know that every drop of the
lie stuff was in the bottom of the
deep blue sea, or somewhere else
where we could never hear of it.
Then we might have time to devote
a little bit of thought to some other
things that are going on around us
all the time, that are doing as much
harm if not more than liquor ever
dreamed even in its most palmy days.
Whenever any one does anything
worth while The Herald and News
has always taken pleasure in COM
needing him for it, and we do that

WAR IN EUROPE
\ BIC MOTOR AID
Struggle Across Water Gave Au-
tomobIIe Industry Big Boost
Right Here at Home.
CARS GIVEN OPPORTUNITIES
During Great Battles People on This
Side Found Out Many Benefits Of
Motorized Transportation In
Various Ways.

Wonderful as was the work Of the
motorcar In Europe during the last
few years Of struggle there, and de-
spite the vast angles of future devel-
opment which were opened by the au-
tomobile's accomplishments In the bat
tie zone, the biggest thing that the war
did for the motcrcar industry was done
here at home.
This is the opinion Of O. A. Pfefrer
general manager Of large motorcar
corporation, and what this big thing
is expresses concretely Mr.. Pfeffer's
idea Of the future of the industry. AL
though he believes that the true sig
nificance Of the stay-at-home work Of
the automobile will come only In the
light Of more mature retrospection, he
believes that some of its most promi-
nent features are apparent even to-
day.
Pave Way for Prosperity.
"What motorcars did right at home
to win the war did more, in my opin-
ion, to pave the way for more pros
porous future for the automobile in
dustry than any other one thing" said
Mr.. PfefIer. II realize fully that right
now we associate the war and the au-
tomobile with the splendid service and
incalculable benefit which motorized
transportation was to the armies in
the field, just as we associate the sol
diers part In the struggle with the un-
questioned heroism OF the men In the
front line trenches.
'But, in the same way as we neglect
the greater majority Of the fighters
who battled at home, we neglect the
much greater army of motorcars which
went into the struggle on every road
in the United States. But. because
we were so close to the. stay-at-homes,
1t is hard to get the proper perspec-
tive on them.
Touches Vital Spot.
II think set my finger ON the vital
spot when I recall the fact that dur
ing the wer more people found out
the benefits Of motorized Transports
ton from both the business and rec
reational side than ever had known II
before.
"The business men who were forced
to speed up their daily life and found
that speed could be obtained by the
use of an automobile; these same
men who discovered the vocational
benefits of the automobile, which
could be utilized without loss of bust
ness. time or efficiency; those who
tried the motorcar in their business
and daily life as an experiment and
found the results were far better than
they had expected-all these were
awakened by the work Of the automo-
bile at home"
