OTR NAVAL SUPREMACY.

according to reliable information
4Ae United States navy now overtops
bhat OF Great Brition. Britannia Rules
the Waves has been cast into the
.infko along with kings and other
thfngs as; the result Of the great war.
So far as we are concerned we want
te see this country maintain the SUI
s,remaey which has come to our navy.
Fop generations it has been the policy
of Kngland to depend upon her navy
rather than upon a large standing
trny. While this policy may have
,aesulted in some great losses to Brit
ian in the sudden conf1agration which
shook the foundation Of the world, En-
glish people have been able to hold
fast to their liberties without the men
ace OF a great standing army. There
is for the United States lesson in
this which We will do well to heed. A
navy amply sufficient to protect our
coasts and our commerce will never
be the menace to our freedom which
an army Of proportionate size would
be.
We need the navy. We have the
navy Let us see that it is Kept at
the top mech Of efficiency

1HH sonDHcR MEMoRIAD.

Whether or not you agree with the
form which the proposed memorial
to the South Carolina soldiers who
took part in the world war is to take
should not prevent you from doing
yonr bit for the cause. To discuss
the question of whether or not this
memorial should be a hospital, a IL
brary, home. or have some other
useful purpose is purely academic
The commission which has been en-
trusted with the job Of raising the
subscriptions is bound absolutely by
the terms Of the act which confers
their authority. Unless the general
Assembly shall rescind it's action at
the next session the memorial will be
as roughly outlined in the act. The
legislature did not take snap iudg-
ment on this question, but acted delib-
erately. No act passed at the last ses-
sion received more thoughtful consid-
Grafton, at least in one branch of the
assembly, than did this law, and it
VIII take very great pressure to ef-
feet a change.
70 refuse to. contribute to the me-
moral because of opposition to the
form Is no part Of wisdom.It is doubt
fai II the opponents of the present
Plan could ever agree among them
selves as to the best form of memorial,
so that in the final analysis the leg
istature, the Memorial Commission or
some other body would have, to de-
eide the matter.
Lexington County is not asked to
raise a sum that will tax her resources
THOSE who are asked to help canvass
for funds should work with a. will un-
til the task is accomplished.

money if they can see the results, it
is wasteful expenditure that hurts. A
more or less intimate touch with the
various departments of the State gov
eminent for the last three years con-
vinces the writer that there is little
if any wasteful expenditure of State
funds, but rather a cramping of some
useful functions for lack of proper
support. 1t is somewhat striking to
note that the United States govern
ment collected in South Carolina from
two sources of revenue only in round
numbers more than s17,000,000, or
more than four times our entire bud
get for State taxes and that we are
paying Uncle Sam at the rate 100000
monthly for the privilege of indulg-
ing our appetite for soft drinks or at
the rate of about one-fourth of all
the money appropriated by the legis-
lature for education, public health,
Confederate pensions and other neces-
sary activities.
In face of these figures can we
longer grumble about high taxes?
The great problem of taxation is
not low levy or a high assessment
as it is an honest equalization Of the
tax burden and proper expenditure.
Perhaps taxes will never. be made to
bear exactly equal on all property but
the tax commission has made a good
start in the right direction and If sup
ported by the legislature will make
further progress.

SENIOR AND ADULT ToPIc-The in.
spiration OF the Bible.
Z. Tho Characteristics of the Word
Of God psalm 19:7-11).
l. The law Of the Lord Is perfect
". y. The law here means the fuH-
damental principles which God as a
moral being reveals to the consciences
of men as binding upon the soul.
These principles are free from all
omissions and redundancies, perfect
as a moral code. 1t perfectly accom-
plishes its design, namely, the convert
ing of the soul. The effect Of the
law of God is to turn men to God him
self, to righteousness and holiness.
.. The testimony of the Lord ". y.
By testimony is meant the witness
which God bears as to his attributes
and against mans sins. This testi-
mony is plain and infallible. Those
who receive it are made wise. Those
who with open and teachable minds
receive Gods testimony are wiser
than the greatest intellectuals of the
earth.
3. The statutes Of the Lord are
right (v. 81. His statutes are the
principles given to us to fit us for the
different relationships Of life. These
are just and equitable, because they
are from the righteous God. They re-
joice the heart, because the true heart
rejoices in justice and equity.
4. The commandment Of the Lord
vs.. This brings into view the per-
sonai God who stands back Of His
law to enforce its demands. This
commandment is free from error and
deceit, and it enlightens the eyes. The
effect Of Gods law is to give man
ability, not only to understand his love
and salvation, but to be wise as to the
things about him.
5. The fear OF the Lord is clean
". g.. The reading Of the Word Of
God produces reverential fear in the
heart Of the reader. Those who have
this godly fear have their hearts
cleansed from SIN. The life and rela-
tionship founded upon this fear abide
forever.
6. The judgments of the Lord are
true and righteous wv. 9-11).
BY judgments Is meant the SEN
tences pronounced by Gods, Word.
These penalties. ARE absolutely true
and righteous; they are: conformable
to the intuitiveI moral sense Of man.
These judgments serve as warnings;
they prevent mans ;shipwreck upon
lfe's sea and, bring just return to
those who obey. ..,.. -.
u. a Prayer 70 God ". 12-1D.
1. For cleansing from secret faults
tv. 12). Those who reverently study
the Word Of God realize in themselves
the presence of hidden faults from
which they need cleansing, and they
cry cut to God"tor this cleansing. .

MRS REBECCA JAMES
DIES VERY SUDDENLY

best known and 1lost highly respect
ed women Of tbs city died suddenly
early this morning at the home of
Mrs. Margaret .-crt yomery on Third
street where she had gone for a few
days visit. Mrs. James made her
nome with Sam R. Nuzum on Locust
avenue and on yesterday went to the
home of Mrs. Montgomery. After
dinner last evening she complained
of not feeling we'll and a doctor was
summoned. After the Doctors visit
she seemed to be alright and no Sc
rlous results were anticipated. Early
this morning she was taken suddenly
worse and died within a short time
Acute indigestion was the cause of
her death.
Mrs. James was born September IA,
1S4S at Kenna, Jackson county, W
Va. She was the daughter of the late
Mr.. and Mrs. o. P. Corbin, pioneer
residents OF that county. Mrs. James
had spent practically her entire life
in Marion county having lived near
Pruntytown and near Eldora before
coming to this city to reside. She
was the widow of Robert James who
preceded her to the grave number
Of years ago.
Mrs. James is survived by two sons,
Louie T. James, of Edgemont and
Howard James of this city. A daugh-
ter Mrs. Zana iHolbert, wife of S. Ray
Holbert is deceased. Seven grand
children also survive her.
Mrs. James was a member of the
First Baptist church OF this city and
had been life long member of the
Baptist denomination. She was &C
tive in the church and with other or
CARNATIONS and was beloved by a
large circle Of relatives and friends.
She spent portion OF each summer
at Mt. Lake Park and was we'll known
to the frequenters Of that resort. She

try club road. The funeral lis an
nounced to take place Friday after
