ABOUT ROMAN
CATHOLICS

Some people believe one thing,
others something else, but nearly
every real American wants to know
both sides of a question before he
approves or condemns.
We make it our business to tell the
truth about the Catholic Church
Her doctrines, Her ambitions, Her
system and Her authority. fl you
would like to ask question write us
and you will receive courteous re-
ply.
We have nothing to sell, no charge
to make. Just a simple question
brings a truthful answer-and moth
ing else.

Columbia Record.
Rumor has it in Columbia that
Former Congressman Asbury F. Lev
er of Lexington county may resign
his position on the federal farm loan
board either now, or else Immediately
after the Inauguration of President
elect Harding next March. No con-
! firmation of the rumor, however, has
F., come from Washington.
It is rumored also that the Repub-
licans are out with a big scoop" for
the pie that is ready for serving in
South Carolina. "To the victor be-
! longs the spoils," say leaders of the
party in power, and it is probable
that number of changes in public
;; office will be made next, year,, A
number of these are in Columbia,
and the 1921 personnel Of federal
Office will be matter of keen inter-
est throughout the state:
IS Mr.. Lever for severafsyears repre-
Sc Serted the Seventh South Carolina
district in the lower house of con-
gress, and when the Democrats were
in control of the party machinery,
was chairman of the house commit
tee on agriculture. His decision to
enter the race for the senate of the
United States and his withdrawal IN
1916 was an interesting event in the
history of the Palmetto state. Sub
sequently Mr.. Lever left the house to
take an appointment as Democrat
ic member of the farm, loan board.
AS the members of the board are
selected with references to the two
leading parties it is probable that
should Mr.. Lever desire to continue
in his present position he could do so
as none doubt his ability, but the
question as to whether, having been
close to the Wilson administration,
he would care to hold Office under
Harding is another matter.
Some of Mr.. Levers friends are
authority for the statement that the
. former congressman is almost cer-
tain to get into the race for the gov
ernorship of South Carolina in 1922
and they profess to say that ii might
not be greatly to his advantage to
hold Office under the Harding admin
istration until just prior Co the South
Carolina election, then resign and en-
ter the race.

astonished, and says he never dreamed
of such visitation; but the fact that
he is wearing his Sunday shirt, and
has his hair parted in the middle,

'There is no serious objection to a

hypocrisy, for no man can be thor

very wealthy and they are looking TO,
large tracts Of land like you have here
in Canada and they will be coming
in great numbers in the late fall and

There's Ape thing about these shoes
