NEWSPAPERS MAKE MEN

Many people imagine that the prominence of great

In this age the most brilliant Of men would be practically
unknown except for the work of the press in following
their step by step and reporting them to the
try at large. Newspapers have been known to pick
Of just ordinary intelligence and make them COVER
nors place them in other offices of honor and respon
sibility They commonly known favortes of the
newspaper More often is simply because they will

pontments But few succeed in getting, into
public office against the hostility Of their party press.
The press makes or unmakes them when it so desires
1t is not that the editor is of such superior nte
it. We Of the fraternity claim to be than
analysis and dissemination public is per-

career 1t is the anayzng and dissemination Of these

SEX FAMILIARITY, DANCES AND
MOTION PICTURES ARE SCORED

Grcenvillc, Dec. G.-That the mod
crn dance is leading many to wreck
age and ruin, that the motion picture
industry is not seriously undertaking
it's own reformation and its possibili-
ties for good and also for dire evil
are great, that familiarity between
the sexes among people of all ages
is increasing and that there seems
to be a breaking down of the finer
spiritual sensibilities among the peo-
pies which permits of the discussion
Of topics freely which would not have
been mentioned in society as recently
as six years ago--statements to this
effect and others regarding public
morals of today were made by Dr.. r..
c. Cranberry, of Gaffney chairman Of
a committee on social service and
public morals in a report to the State
Baptist Convention here today.
The convention opened it's session
this morning and 1T will continue
through Thursday. Adoption of this
tCpoiG vi puDllC IlioialS) loSSlllSi
with sermon tonight by the Rev. j.
Dean Grain, featured the three ses-
sions of the day. Several hundred
Baptists from all parts Of South
Carolina are in attendance
Dr.. Cranberry in his report said
that he and his committee are not
pessimists because they believe in
Jesus Christ stressed the fact that
much advancement in the right dlrec-
ton is being made in the present So
cial order. Regarding the modern
dance, the motion pictures, he re-
lationship between the sexes and 9TH
CT matters, however, he urged that
the time was at hand for the church
to take a hand. 81 know that it is
customary for church people to quiet
ly acquescc in the dance situation"
he said, "but that must change"
Prohibition, the committee declared
is a great success, not withstanding
the fact that the fight with the liquor
traffic is not yet finished.
In creasing profanity and improper

observance of the Sabbath also were
discussed. The convention adopted
the report of the committee.
At another point in the convention,
l.. E. Campbell, of Newberry, created
sensation when in the midst, of q
plea that laymen given more time to
preaching, he said: "Let the ladies
dress as they please. We are what
you like. God bless you, let'se quit
preaching so much about silk stock
ings, rouge and leg shows and preach
the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which
will save us from all SIM"
In his annual address, j. j. Law
town, Of Hartsville, urged the neces-
sity for faith, hope, religion, work,
economy and optimism IN working to
a solution of present work problems.
Senator E. G.. Ridgall, of Batesburg,
stated to the convention that che lay
men in the church are doing more
work today than ever before, and E.
P. Vandiver, banker, of Anderson, de-
livered an interesting address along
similar lines.
Regarding the work of the women
through the Woman's Missionary Un-
ion DR.. William l.. Ball, of Spartan
burg said, that the women are lead
ing 10th the laymen and the preach
ers, and he PARSED them highly for
their efforts and for the results they
are achieving. Mrs. j. d. Chapman,
of Anderson the State president, and
other officers were introduced. A re-
port proposing that the Baptists of
North and South Carolina take charge
Of the Spaulding Orphanage, at Kings
Greek, S. c., is yet to acted upon.
Follow up work in the Baptist
rs million campaign is to- be one of
the chief topics for discussion tomor-
row. The convention late today voted
to appoint women as members of
boards of trustees of women's colleges
and academies in this State
The Convention voted to investigate
the proposal that two-acrc grave
yard near Society Hill be purchased
and maintained as Goods Acre"

Father, Mother, Baby and Mother-in-Law

kKETUCHEN, N. J.-Mr. and Mrs.
lVA George Neun were married less
than three years ago. The arrival of the
baby IS months ago increased their
happiness. The young husband sug-
gested they live with his mother here
until his bride and the baby were
stronger. Here is what followed, as
she narrated it to Recorder Weber,
when she asked for separate main
tenance from her husband and the Gus
tody of the baby:
From the day we went there, my
mother-in-law never allowed me to
touch my child She would not let me
hold the little fellow or battle him,
or care for him in any way. She
would not let me caress him once, or
even kiss him as he slept.
"She thought modern girls were not
fit to be mothers and rear chill
dren. My mother-inlaw had five chill
dren of her own. do not understand
why she should envy me my little one.
She treats 1t very kindly, to be sure.

hers. do not want him brought

middle-aged woman who has hunted
moose, deer, caribou, mountain goats
and bears for many years in immense
stretches of territory which are still
marked UNEMPLOYED" on recent maps
Of the Far North.
She has just returned after a Sc
ries of exciting adventures in the Tes-
lin Lake country, where she spent
some time hunting moose and griz-
lilies.
To avoid-being frozen in, Mrs. Dick

kK 1LWAUKEE.-The arrest of two
1v1 pretty girls here brings out an
amazing story, which starts ten months
ago with the arrival from the rural
town of Big Bend, Wis, of Betty
Bergermeister, nineteen. Betty went
to work at the Togo Art store in the
Plankington Arcade. At dance one
night she met Josephine Van Der FL
sen. Both were of the same age, and
they became fast friends. Josephine
worked in the Kesselman-O' Driscoll
company music store, 517 Grand ave-
nue., and lived at 645 Twenty-seyenth
street.
They went to dances together. There
was always the contrast of clothes.

finest; expensive hats, gowns and

shoes. Betty's SIS a week provided
her with but few pretty dresses. For
months she wondered at the source of
Josephine's seemingly endless supply
of money. Josephine was noncom-
initial. Betty never asked.
A month ago Betty found out. She
found in Josephine's purse q crumpled
bill of sales slips Of the Kesselman-
ODriscoll store. She also found
money. Betty said nothing to her
chum. In the meantime Josephine
took Betty to Chicago, lavishing money
on her chum on several trips. Back
in Milwaukee the girls were together
a great deal of the time. Then 10
sephine received an anonymous letter
1t demanded 500, saying the writer
knew of her Irregularities and would
expose her If the money was not left
as an answer to a "blind ad" that
would appear In the local newspaper
Josephine put 500 in an envelope and
left it at the newspaper office.
A week later a second letter asked
for another 500. Developments led
to the arrest of the two girls. Both
confessed-Betty to writing the black
mailing letters and Josephine to TAX
ing money from her employers.

any strain. The hired man, Jim, was
lighter and finer of feature, and his
white teeth cleaned against the nut
brown of his face in a quiet smile
that refused to be displaced in any
emergency, and at times left the be-
holder in considerable doubt as to the
real emotions working behind
The men all wore blue overalls dark
blue or gray shirts, and heavy boots.
They were guiltless of coat or vest,
and tossed their light straw hats on
the water bench as they passed. There
was quick splashing of greasy hands
at the wash basin, followed by a more
effectual rubbing on a towel made
from a WORKOUT grain sack. The
hired man paused to change the water
and wash his face, but the others pro-
ceeded at once to the table, where no
time was lost in ceremony. Harris
helped himself generously to meat
and vegetables and having done so,
passed the platters to his son, and in
this way they were circulated about
the table. There was no talk for the
first few minutes, only the sound of
knife and fork piled vigorously and
INTERCHANGEABLE by father and son, and
with some regard for convention by
the other members of the family. John
Harris had long ago recognized the
truth that the destiny of food was the
mouth. and whether conveyed on knife
or fork made little difference. Mary,
too had found carelessness of little
details both of manner and speech
coming over her, as her occasional
"ain't' betrayed, but since Jim had
Joined their table she had been on her
guard. Jim seldom said anything, but

mask over his real emotions.

She Makes Wise Old Gotham Take Notice

NEW YORK.-The woman drove up
~ to one of the biggest Fifth avenue
department stores in a gorgeous limou-
sine, told James" to wait, and strobe
straight to one of the department
heads. Impressed by her beauty and
nOnchalant air, he offered to conduct
her personally. Her mission was to
select $1,000 worth of the most ex-
pensive sort of goods.
Having finished her purchases, the
distinguished shopper" suggested
that she pay $500 on deposit, and
take the things along in my machine,
you know" After a consultation, it
was agreed to let one of the store de-
tectives escort her-and the $4,000
worth of goods-to her home, which
she said was in Flushing. Home,
James," she commanded the chauf-
feur. Off whizzed the limousine. But
instead of driving to Flushing, the car
was taken at top speed to Young's
sanitarium, place where inebriates
are cared for.
'Be back in a moment with my hus-
band and some one to carry the things
inside" she said to the detective.
Inside, she sobbed out her tale of
woe. Her poor dear husband" she
said, was outside in her automobile,

Moose, Grizzly and Unknown Tenderfoot

qua river, said to be the widest
stream in the Yukon, frequently hay
ing to rush for the shore and bale out
the boat to avoid sinking. Every morn
ing the boat had to be chopped free
of ice before it could be launched.
While Mrs. Dickinson failed in her
objective, bagging only game of aver
age size, she did see the skin of what
she believed to be the biggest grizzly
ever shot in the Yukon.
1t was shot. curiously enough, by a
tenderfoot from Chicago. The tender
foot and his guide came across the
partly eaten carcass of a splendid
moose, evidently killed only q few
hours before. For half an acre the
ground was torn up, showing a terrific
fight had ragged.
The guide was confident the moose
had been attacked and killed by griz-
Fly, and that only a bear of extraor-
binary size could have overpowered
the big moose. Knowing the grizzly
would return later to finish his feast,
the two men waited until evening. The
Chicago hunter got his game.
The moose head, which had a
spread of five feet, was taken to Chi
cago.
Who is the Chicago tenderfoot. No
body seems to know.
