1.-THE FORGOTTEN MAN."

AT a meeting of thc Presbyterian
congregation on Sunday morning
Rev. J. L. Flows salary was in
creased TO 81 800 Il ycar.-AldcrsOn
Advertiser.
In this era of soaring prices when
all branches Of manual labor have
had immense wage increases and
most incomes been augmented, the
minister Of the gospel, as a rule,
has been overlooked. For the
families of thousands of pastors
life has become a daily tragedy in
the tense struggle 10 keep body and
soul together on prc-war salary.
II is good, therefore, to see some
congregations remembering 'thc
forgotten man" who breaks to them

wide campaign, of the Episcopal
Church for increased membership
and interest in church affairs. He
said:
"As for amusements, immodesty
in dress, looseness in sexual rela-

chief attractions in theatrical shows
and photo plays. unbridled license
and extravaganza III all things, are
so much the established order of
the day that the most respectable

Apply these tests of literature

is evident definitely anti Christ

week letter from Senator Davis
ElkinS advising him of bin he had
introduced, authorizing the Sec
retary of War to donate captur-
ed German cannon or ficldpiecc TO
the town Of Lewisburg Mr.. Elkins
advises that the Senate had some
time ago passed bill authorizing
the distribution to cities and towns
Of certain captured war devices and
thought the bill might pass the
House before adjournment. He
suggests that the people of Lewis
burg and vicinity take up the mat
ter with Governor Cornwcll in an
effort to have him designate Lew
isburg among the places TO receive
such captured trophies.
We suggest that the Council take
such action as it may deem best
calculated to secure one of these
guns for the Old Burg.
1t is well worth an effort.

ercisns.
Judge Sharp, his Court being in
session, gave way for IN hour or
Two. just after dinner. to give the
candidates an opportunity to be
seen and heard. and presided over
The meeting Introducing the VAR
lOuS speakers.
Arthur B. KoontZ, Of Char!rston.
Mr.. LiltlcpaSe'S opponent for The
Democratic nomination for Cover
nor, was also here and was the
FIRST speaker introduced by Judge
Sharp. Recognizing the prior
rights Of the Republicans to the
time, Mr.. KoontZ said he would not
trespass on their time. He had
come up simply TO meet the peo-
plc--to see and be seen, so to speak.
but expected later to come again
when he could discuss public
questions.
MIR. koontz is a handsome, nice
looking man of most agreeable
manners and left pleasing i'm
preston. He said in substance
that if nominated for Governor the
Republicans would know after the
election in November that there
had been battle.
Maj. Bond was the first Rcpub-
Hcan introduced. He is a great big
young man with Il good record in
peace and war but said that he
claimed nothing ON account of his
service in France. He spoke briefly
with becoming modcsty and Weld
ed the floor.
Mr.. Hall was next introduced
and, in short talk claimed Clay
county's right to the Senator this
time.
Judge Sharp then introduced
Judge E. f. Morgan, of Fairmoni,
one of the three Republican can
didateS for Governor. The Judge
is good talkcr, briefly recitcd
his record and his claim to the
nomination and while sure of the
nomination and of a victory for the
q. o. p. in State and Nation this
fall, said nothing that could give
offence to anyone. We have no
space this week to review any of
these speeches. In fact there was
little in any of them to call for
special remark.
Col. -Grosscup was the last speak
er with his campaign text "a Busi-
ness Man with Business Plan"
Tho the Colonel pent most of his
time in complaining of unjust
things said of him by Judge Nor
gan'S friends.
Sam Montgomery, unfortunately
was not present or the occasion
nllght have been little more
lively. This meeting was more
like funeral or wake as com
pared with the Republican meet
lngs four years ago when Lilly was
chasing Judge Robinson around
an stirring UP the animals. Mont
gomery, the statesman from the
buckwheat fields of old Preston
claims that when the primary is
over he will have the scalps of
both Morgan and Grosscup dang
ling to his belt.
When Col. GrosScup stopped
Uncle" Henry Gilmcr took the
lloor and in a rattling talk of about
two and half minutes had the
crowd in a roar Of laughter at the
expense of the two solemn and
nlgnillcd gentlemen aspiring TO
Subernatorial honors. "Unclc"
Henry struc k out in witty vein
and every shot went straight to the
