WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. D. A serious split in the ranks of the Democratic party has developed as result of a disagreement between President Wilson and William Jen- nings Bryan on the question of making the League of Nations prop osition an issue in the forthcoming presidential campaign. Democratic sentiment appears to be about even ly divided and party leaders are wondering if the fight will be car ried into the convention. That a split has occurred is admitted by all, but observers declare that the width of the break in the party ranks cannot be determined until the situation has settled down some.

RECENT DOE LAW
HELD DEFECTIVE
GEORGETOWN MAGISTRATE CON.
TENDS THAT ACT Is NOT
GENERAL

A. &. Richardson, magistrate for
Georgetown county has rendered an
opinion in his court holding the act
of the legislature passed last year
prohibiting the killing of any doe
in South Carolina for period of five
years to be unconstitutional, in that
it exempts Berkeley county and is
therefore not general. The opinion
was received by Chief Game Warden
Gibbes yesterday and it will have a
decided effect on deer hunting in
Georgetown county as well as other
counties.
The case arose out Of the trial OF
Elvo King at Georgetown. King was
charged with violating the law and
he pleaded not guilty, holding that
the act was not constitutional. Mag
istrate Harrelson heard the case and
decided that Mr.. King was within his
rights and released the defendant.
In his brief filed with the chief
game warden the magistrate points
out that the supreme court in the
case of Dean VS.. Spartanburg county
ruled that in order that law may be
general it ust be of force in every
county in the State. The magistrate
further cites thatthe general assem-
bly, erred in the passage of the act
in that Berkeley was exempt from
its provisions.
The defendant, Elvo King, contend
ed that the act was unconstitutional
for the same reason. "The law is not
general and therefore is a special act
and conflicts with Section "a OF Arn-
Gle III of the State constitution, and
therefore, without any force or eI-
feet" the magistrate concludes.
Chief Warden Gibbes said yester-
day his opinion was with the magls-
trate as he had felt all along that
the law was not constitutional.

On Growing Old

(From the Pendleton East Oregonlan)
The most inevitable-and one OF the
easiest-of the things we do is to
grow old. Yet what difference IN
the way different people do it!
You probably know, for instance
some little old lady who, although
she may not be beautiful or brilliant
is lust "nice"-which is apt to mean
that instead of bossing or scoldlng
she tries not to be troublesome or un-
reasonable to those around her. Or
rather, she does not have to try, for
it is characteristic of elderly human
beings that they seldom try very hard
to form new habits. Youth is the Pc
riod of endeavor, and old age OF re-
suits. This is the reason for the fu-
tiity of young folks displeasure at
their parents "old fashioned" ideas.
Such ideas are fixed; they will not
change.
Yet, not all elderly people are age
bound in their thoughts; many can be
tolerant of inovations, and few can
even adopt them. Such a flexible
condition of the elderly mind is, like
the rigid intolerant sort, a product
of earle, fe anA habits; it is not like
" to indicate any particular good or
evil trait in the person possessing 1t.
If the young man or woman who
feels impatient at the old folks no
tions will cease to shrug a shoulder
and exclaim 81 hope Pm not like that
when I'm DID," and will turn his at
tention to the younger generation
starting with himself, he is likely to
do much more for human progress.
When he himself has reached the age
of fixed ideas his character will de-
pend on his previous habits OF mind;
if he has kept himself free from pref
udice and cocksureness and has taken
always willing to learn better ways OF
thinking and doing, he will be likely
to remain correspondingly more ra-
tional with advancing years, and will,
in truth, not be "like that when ne
is old.

The System is Wrong.
(From the Lancaster News)

The Southern Cultivator, a farm
paper published in Atlanta, thinks
the salvation of the farmer lies in
the diversifcation of crops-the "hog
and hominy" doctrine, which has been
preached since the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary, but
which has been practiced by few
farmers in this part of the country.
Says the cultivator:
1--WE have hundreds of farmers
abusing their calling and saying they
are going to quit. We do not blame
any one for quitting if he can do bet
ter elsewhere. We have never been
one of those to cry "stay on the
Farm" or "Back to the Farm" This
is all gotten up by men who want
farmers to make cheap living for
them, while they stay in the cities.
But we do want to champion the truth
always and to help those on the farms
in every way that we can. Now, the
farm is not to blame for our troubles;
the fault lies in the system that we
are following. On our recent trip up
North, we found that the farmers in
the grain belt Were ten times as well
off as the cotton farmers. Why?
They grow something to e2t. They
could live at home and sell the surplus.
They do not require so much labor
to produce a crop. The cotton farm
er produces what he cannot usie-what
he must turn into quick money-what
the buyers and mill men are always
planning to get as cheaply as posi-
bic. We farm to make money and
this gets US into trouble. If we
farmed to make a living the money
would come in as a by-product. 1t
would be far better not to abuse the
fundamental calling upon which all
others rest, but to plant more wisely
to make it more Independent. 1t Is
not farming that causes our trouble
but it is the way we have been farr-
ing. Nov Hundreds will quit anoth".
year, and we do not wish them I'LL,
but on the other hand we wish them
well. Still they will find that trouble
does not dwell in the country alone.
To those who will endeavor to change
for the better another year, we ex-
tend a cordial hand. Farming in the
cotton belt can be made to pay. 1t
can be made business that will give
in return a fair profit and much pleas
ure. But to get this much out of it,
you must put into it wise planning
and conservative work. Three thous-
and years ago the old Lotus found
this much out: "That prudence was the
better part of valor.p 1921 is year
to practice this old adage."

THURSDAY. NOVEMBER IL, 1920

For every dollar the Southern
States contributed last year to the
Red Cross, the organization spent one
dollar and twenty-five cents in this
section of the country. The Red Cross
uses its funds where needed, no mat
ter from whence the money comes.
The Red Cross used last year three
and three-tenths per centum for ad-
ministratioon, rents, and all other ex-
penses, and placed ninety-six and sew
en-'enths per centum directly towards
relieving human suffering and pro-
noting human welfare.

In Mem0rium.

At her home near Greelyville, on
the evening of November 18th, 1919,
Maggie Montgomery Greene, wife OF
]. E. Greene, quietly passed into the
home of the blest.
"Ah, broken is the golden bowl
The spirit flown forever;
Let the bell toll, sanity soul
Floats over the Stygian river"
Besides her husband and one daugh-
ter, Miss Hazel Greene, she is sur
vived by her mother, Mrs. S. l. Mont
gomery, and the following sisters
and brothers: Mrs. Aussie Tate Mrs.
J. E. King, Mrs. R. d. Footman' Mrs.
| ]. L. Lesesne, Mrs. w. D. James and
Messrs. Clarence and Alex Montgom-
cry, all of Greelyville, Mr.. S. W.
Montgomery of Kingstree, Mrs. W.
N. Clarkson of Heinemann, and Mrs.
It. C. Coker of Newberry.
Early in life she became member
of the Presbyterian church, in which
she lived a consistent member. She
was sufferer for many months, but
was brave, cheerful and patient under
her invalidism, abeautiful example OF
a noble christian woman. The great
est thing in her life was her firm
trust in God. She was not afraid,
and her thoughts were always for her
loved ones. She was loving, kind and
faithful in all the relations OF life.
She served others, herself she forgot.
Her unselfshness was shown by the
comfort and sunshine she brought
into the lives of others.
A strength of will, determination
of purpose, an unfinching adherence
to duty, united to a heart filled with
love and sympathy, binding those near
her with the strong cords of deep abid-
ing love that the hand Of death can
not break.
No longer does the weak and mortal
frame incarcerate the eternal. She IS
gone. And yet the iving,iistemng
spirit can almost seem to catch the
faintest ultimate echo of her straln'
borne back across the river. Her
Father tenderly led her faulterlng
footsteps gently to "the valley OF the
shadow of death" and in His loving
arms He bore the trusting spirit over.
But who can say her loved ones are
forgotten in her joy? Or that the
soul so watchful before does not steal
back to earth again to whisper cheer
and comfort to the listening ear
She is gone; but memory, prompted
by love, clings to the relics OF the
fading past so tenaciously that her
influence cannot die.
"In the land where the roses never
fade,
Where no sin, neither sorrow, dare
invade,
We shall meet our loved ones there
And eternal joy share;
In the land where the roses never
| fade"

Cooper:-In sad, but loving remem-
brance of our dear husband and
father, Jahue Walker Cooper, Sr., who
departed this life November 4, 1919.
One long, sad year has past,
Since you were laid to rest,
Time cannot heal my wounded heart,
Or fill the vacant chair;
/ miss your kind and faithful care,
/ miss you everywhere.
How l miss your love and greeting,
And the clasp of your dear hand;
miss your counsel and affection,
l miss you from our little band.
o, drealy days, O., restless nights,
The pain that you did bear;
Your dear old heart, SO full of love,
Did ache and beat so slow.
l tried so hard to save you,
In vain l tried to sooth;
Till Goo, in his mercy whispered
And the angels bore you away.
Mute is the voice, still the heart
That I loved so well and true;
O., bitter was the trial to part
From one so good as you.
All through the morning hours,
o, dear, l miss you so;
And as the evening shades make
Shadows in my door
'Tis there for years l met you,
'Tis then | miss you more.
But Pm weary and lonesome, my
darling,
In this desolate life without you.
How l miss you, Walker, dear,
Only God can understand;
Yet again l hope to NEE: you,
There in heaven with joy and greet
ing,
There no farewell tears are shed.

November the fourth has come again,
The saddest day of the year,
For on this day one year ago,
Our daddy was taken away.
Time cannot heal our wounded hearts,
Or fill the vacant chair;
We miss your cheerful, smiling face,
We miss you, daddy, everywhere.
But one thought comes in all our sad
ness,
He is free from all sin and pain,
And we trust when our journey is
ended,
We shall meet our daddy again.

THE MAN OF THE FOREST"


 The scene of Zane Grey's latest novel, The Man of the Forest" is laid in Arizona, partly on huge ranch, partly in the magnificent "senaca" where Milt Dale, the man of the for est" and of course the hero of the book, lived alone. wonderful region of hills and dales and rocks and wood- land, isolated on all sides by the southern Arizona desert-the virgin home of elk and deer and bear and lion of wolf and fox. and the birth land, as well the hiding place, of the fierce Apache" still something of a menace at the rather indefinite period to which the tale belongs. To Helen Rayner, aged twenty, and the hand- somest of all the handsome Auchin- closses, one particular section of this region, section she named Paradise Park, eventually became very dear But nothing was further from her thoughts than an enforced encampment in the forest. when, accompanied by her younger and very pretty and enthu- siastic sister, Bo. she came from her home in St. Joseph to stay with her uncle, old Al Auchincloss. who had de- clared his intention of making her his heir. In those days the arm of the law was not long enough to reach out over distant Arizona. He lived longest who drew quickest and shot first. and the might of the strongest reigned su- preme.
 All the dwellers in that region knew old Al Auchincloss was dying. and that his chosen successor was a young girl, and tenderfoot at that. So a certain Beasley, "one of the two biggest ranchers and sheep raisers of the White Mountain ranges" made a deal with the notorious gang headed by Snake Anson-an outlaw with whom he had long been secretly in league--to ab- duct Helen Rayner and hold her cap tive until her uncle was dead and Beasley in possession of the Auchin- closs ranch, of which he claimed. quite wrongfully, that old Al Auchincloss had cheated him. It was as nice little plot as heart could wish for. and might have worked out to the Queens taste-if not to that of Helen Rayner- had Beasley and Snake Anson chosen some other place in which to discuss 1t than an old and abandoned log cabin in the depths of the woods. For it so befell that when they and their confederates reached there the log cabin was already sheltering a guest in the person of Milt Dale. who had taken refuge within from the rain Mift Dale was far from being on the best of terms with Snake Anson and his gang. so when he heard them com ing he quickly mounted the ladder to the loft above, where he lay and over heard their conference and all the de- tails of their pleasant little arrange ment. Being a brave, honest and chivalrous man. the plight of the un- known girl appealed to him and he made up his mind that he would not abandon her to a fate which. as he very well knew, would probably prove worse than death. but would himself take matters in hand and thwart Beasleys schemes.
 It is with this situation that the story opens.
 The story has plenty of incident and though it contains too numerous and too long passages of description. not afew of them are well done. while
