BATTLED OVER PIPE ORGAN
Its Introduction into Scottish Churen'
for Which James Watt Was Re-
sponsibIe, Made Trouble.

The current appreciations of James
Watt. inventor of the Gteam engine,
have not, so far as we have seen, cal.ed
forth any protest from the Wee Frees.
Yet Watt was responsible for the
first pipe organ built in Scotland, ana
round it ragged one of the f1ercest CON
troversies in the history of the move
ment against instrumental music IN
the Scottish church.
The story of the organ Itself was
told fully when the instrument was
given year ago to the Glasgow cor
pOratiOn. 1t was built by Watt in MS
house in High street in 1852, and IN
1907 found it's way into st. Andrews
| church, Glasgow. On hearing that the
organ was to be played during divine
! service, the lord provost of the day
wrote to DR.. Ritchie, minister OF the
! church, and an enthusiastic hddler'
begging to know of him if such was
really the case" and adding that, If
| so, he would consider it his duty TO
enter a solemn protest against MIN
and the congregation for all damages
which might be the consequence. Dr.
Ritchie was also held personally re-
sponsible for "any breach of the peace
which might possibly be OccasiOned by
the innovation he had attempted to
introduce"
After being used for one Sunday
the organ was closed by command OF
the Presbytery; and then the floods
of controversy were let loose. The
friends of music were fOrcible, II Co
very polite, in a series of pamphlets
Both sides, of course, quoted Scripture
freely; and in a Presbytery minute tn
writer of the pro-organ pamphlets wa
convicted of "culpable inaccuracy ant
scandalous violation Of the truth.
History, so far as we know, does no
record what Watt thought of it all.
The old organ is now the propert

IRENE CASTLE HAS
FINE ROLE IN THE
INVISIBLE BONU'
Sophie Kerr's Novel, "The See-Saw,"
To Be Seen As Paramount
Aircraft Picture.

Sophie Kerr's popular novel, "The
See-Saw," which ran serially in a
prominent magazine and WIS later
published in book form, and has been
adapted for the screen under the
title of 1.-THE Invisible Bond" and is
Irene Castles latest picture. It will
be shown at the Amuse- u Theatre,
Hemingway, S. c., Saturday, Novem-
Der 20.
The story is about husband and
wife who are still in love after four
years of married life. The husband,
however, believes that marriage
should not curtail his personal liber-
ty and prevent him from carrying on
an affair with a dashing young CO.
quette. After the wife has endured
much humiliation through her hus-
bands action, she divorces him and
he speedily marries the other woman.
The second wife holds the same the
oris about marriage as her husband,
and the tables are turned on him
when she soon begins courting the
company of other men. A rich New
Yorker become infatuated with her
and, furious because she will not re-
spond to his attentions, plunges them
both over a high cliff in motor car
and kills himself and her. The hus-
band, getting the report of her death,
thinks it is his first wife who has been
killed and rushes to her home, where
they are reconciled.
"The Invisible Bond" was directed
by Charles Maigne and is said to fur
nish Mrs. Castle with an opportunity
to show quite remarkable talents as
an emotional actress and also to wear
some attractive new gowns.

KINGSTREE NEEDS A HOTEL.

At present Kingstree has no hotel.
The boarding houses of Kingstree
are doing all they can to take care of
our transient guests who find upon
arrival here that Kingstree affords
NO hotel accommodations.
What about the old Kellahan Hotel =?
We are reliably informed that the
board of directors of the corporation
that recently purchased this property
have decided to "hold it."
Hold it for what?
The former owner held it, and
could have continued to hold it; but,
he doubtless said to himself, whats
the use? Kingstree needs hotel, |
don't want to bother with it, and III
Just sell it to someone who willard
give Kingstree a hotel that will give
the travelling public modern hotel ac-
computations"
Well, he did sell, and sold out cheap.
Kinstreee needs a hotel and the
only thing to do is for the board of
directors of the new project to get
busy and give Kingstree hotel.
"Procrastination is the thief of
time" Time is money and money is
hard to get now, we are told, but in
the face of this there is no excuse
for the directors or any one else lay
ing down on the job and finding sat
isfaction in the resolution to "just
hold it." The former owner could
have done this.

HERBERT JAMES McCUTCHEN,
who died November 16, 1918.
Two sad, long years have passed
Since that great sorrow fell;
Gone in his age of beauty,
Gone in his fairest bloom,
Buried from US forever,
Deep in the silent tomb.
The rose that is sweetest and fairest,
Is the one that is killed by the frost;
The love that is sweetest and rarest
Is the dear one / have lost.
He has left me sad and lonely,
Not allowed to say good bye;
But hope and trust to meet
In that land beyond the sky.
Oh, why was he taken
So young and so fair,
When earth had so many
It better could spare.
Hard, hard was the blow
That compelled US to part
From the loved ones so near
And so dear to my heart.
Surrounded by friends, l am lonesome;
In the midst of my pleasure, / am
blue,
A smile on my face and heart ache,
Longing and yearning for you.
There are two things death cannot
sever:
Love and memory-they live for
ever.

dustrial centres, and those who rep
resent them in the labor unions and
in congress, are getting ready. to op-
pose politically any effort to restrict
the importation of meats and food
stuffs into the United States. Very
we'll. Let's 60 to the mat on that
proposition; the sooner the better.
We called attention last week to
the fact that huge quantities of frozen
lamb and mutton are being dumpted
upon our markets, and protested
against the procedure. The laborites
have gone about the limit now in their
insolence. The war made them mas
ters of temporary situation. Their
successes in forcing high wages, short
hours and almost universal inefficien-
cy has turned their heads. They as
sumo to dictate to the rest Of the
world, and they are riding for a Ger
tain fall They cannot put top-notch
wages and cheap farm products over
at one shot. They would work eight
hours a day for five days in week
at unheard-of pay, and have food and
clothing doled out at prices involving
the poor devil who grew the grain
the live stock, the woodland worked
from twelve to sixteen hours day
for six or seven days week in loss!
It can't be done. Labor has not yet
got its hand absolutely upon the
throat of production in these lines,
and will so discover within the next
twelve months.
The "Japs" may not come in. The
Chinese may not come in. The en-
ployer may not contract anywhere
abroad for help to operate farm or
factory. Labor is protected to the
very hilt. When the farmer wants
protection, however, it is different.
Could selfshness find higher express

The Gazette stands for American
markets for American food products.
In the prosperity of the American
farmer lies the prosperity Of every
American laborer, as well as mer-
chant, manufacturer or banker. If
farm products are costing consumers
too much money it is not the fault OF
the farmer. If the consumer wants
to know the real truth let him smoke
out the small retailer everywhere.
And in smoking him out let the ex-
pense and selling costs of the retailer
be scanned just to see how much his
rent and his help are responsible for
the prices charged for the food pur-
veyed. What figure does the carpen-
Ter, the plumber, the bricklayer, the
electric light worker, the painter and
plasterer cut in the matter Of city
rentals?
There is one thing sure; the aver
age farmer today, at present prices,
Is getting vastly less for his labor
and his products than the wage-earn-
ers in town and city. One locomotive
freight engineer, for example, was
earning over s400 per month before
the late raise in pay. He no doubt
favors free trade in wool and wheat
and meat also. But he is not going
to get it if American agriculture has
real friends in Washington.
No man likes to take loss, but
we all have to do so at times. Prof
its are not reapcd every year in any
line of productivity of which we have
knowledge. Except in wartime no one
can be guaranteed a profit in his bus
mess operations. The cost-plus prop
-orsition has been an expensive luxury.

TEACHER CONDEMNS
TOO MUCH DISCIPLINE

That too much rlgldlty and restric-
tlon are maintained by school teachers
was the charge OF Miss Patty Hill, or
the Primary Grade Teachers Training
School OF Columbia University, In an
address at ahe New Century Club last
night 10 the faculty and parents OF
pupils OF Tower Hill School. An en-
vlronment OF democracy. not autooracy
was needed. Miss Hin said. She said
that In this country. a democratic
form OF government is the form used.
therefore teachers should not lay down
too many arbitrary rules, nor govern
with too stern a hand.
"A school should be a place OF
health and yet the average child
loses weight and grows in height too
rapidly upon entering the lrst year
at school. There is a strain on his
system not because OF study. but be
cause OF the physical restrictions. He
Is not allowed TO move about or to
speak. His body Is crampcd by dis
cipllne."
The average primary school teach
er's idea OF discipline was TO have all
OF the children sitting or standing In
rows and perfectly motonless. Miss
Hill said. She added that this was
not only unnecessary. but injurious.
