NEWSPAPERS HARD HIT.

The New York World of Saturday
carried a full page advertisement
from the New York Evening Jour-
nal, which is probably Mr.. Hearst's
most important newspaper property,
announcing an increase in price to
three cents. Some time ago the Even
ing Journal doubled it's price, jump
ing from one cent to two cents. 1t
announces that the increased cost Of
publication forces it to make. another
Sc now. Most Of the other after
noon newspapers in New York are
still two cents but it is probable that
they will have to follow the Evening
Journals example. White paper In
the opep market is worth six times
as much as it was a comparatively
shc/t time ago. The price is still ris-
ing and it is hard to get. All over the
country newspapers are jumping
rates to meet soaring costs. In De-
troit last week the papers made fifty
per cent. increases.-News and Cour-

With Senator Johnson as mis- running
mate, if the latter might be induced
to accept second place on the ticket,
the ticket would be a vo,e winner,

NeWn 'TTy ueTalQ.. =
The Cokesury; district conference
in session in Central church from
Wednesday evening, adjourned Fri
day afternoon. The conference is
composed Of the Methodist churches
in Abbeville, Greenwood, Saluda and
Newberry counties, and embraces
twenty-one pastoral charges, under
the presiding eldership, of DIR. Jas. w.
Kilgo of Greenwood.
All the. pastors of the district were
present except Rev: o. N. Rountree
of: Plum Branch. Only twenty-five Of
the lay delegates were present of
aout seventy-five chosen from the
1everal pastorates- the many ab-
sences being due no doubt to the
very busy time with the farmers.
DR.. Kilgo presided over the confer
ence, and Rev. S. H. Booth of Water
loo was secretary. The opening SER
mon before the conference was
preached Wednesday evening by Rev
S. H. Booth. The sessions Thursday
and Friday were taken up with re-
ports from the several charges in re-
lation to their spiritual and financial
standing and to the various interests
of the church, educational, mission
ary and so on. The reports were of a
gratifying nature. 1t appeared from
the reports and the discussions that
all the congregations nave made SUBJ
stantial increase in pastors salaries.
Among the visitors to the confer
ence were DR.. Jno. o. Wilson, presi-
enl of Lander college; President G.
T. Pugh of the Columbia college;
Rev. T. C. O'Dell, superintendent of
the Epworth orphanage, and DR.. VIM.

Indiscriminate Bonus Waste at the
Sacrifice of True War Relief.


wants to hand out bonus payments
right and left regardless Of whether
the recipient needs or deserves a
bonus simply wants to buy votes for
himself, cracking open the National
Treasury to pay for them.
This is a desecration of the altars
of patriotism in the fragrant betrayal
of the interests of the country, the
welfare of the public and the good
repute of the armies which broke the
Hindenburg line-all sacrificed to the
vote seeking appetite Of political
jobbers.
It is an unspeakable insult to the
outstanding duty performing Amer,
lean who is not for sale to bribing
Congressmen or to anybody at any
price. Thousands of our returned
soldiers would no more. demand the
bonus than they would demand the
nations shame. Thousands Of them
would no more take it than they
would take poison,
It is an immeasurable wrong to the
temnted creature who may feel that
the bribing Congressman, because OF
his bonus purchase price, has a
stronger claim upon him than the
priceless duties, obligations and
ideals of American citizenship.
1t will be an everlasting blot upon
this as yet stainless nation ii one
man, one woman or one child that
has become helpless, hopeless VIC
tim of the war is not cared for gener-
ously and gladly by the American
people so long as there is need of
such care. But every dollar of war
relief that is misplaced anG misused
where it is not needed, where it does
not belong, where it ought not to go,
will be a dollar subtractec from the
help due to those that imperatively
require and incomparably merit help.
If billions of dollars are thus scat
tered and wasted not because they
are needed or deserved but as mere
bribes for votes when those billions
ought to be used or saved for the
suffering, then it will ,neyeg be pos
sible to, give full justice; and ade-
duate help to those who ofdo%need and
% deserve, and who-God pity them
