REVIVAL OF CLASSIC GREEK
Western Newspaper Welcomes Pos
sibiIity of Its Becoming, IN
Time, a World Language.

Were one to judge from the fuss
made from time to time, one wouio
suppose there was real need of an III
ternational language. In the golden
age Of the English language the great
queen addressed the ambassador at
her court In Latin, and all diplomatic
conversation and correspondence OF
Europe was in Latin. Erasmus, the
great scholar and writer, who visited
the court of Elizabeth's father, Henry
VIII, wrote Latin works that pro-
duced an effect comparable TO that
produced by the writings Of Foltalre
two centuries later.
Much pains have been expended III
fabricating artificial language, such
as Esperanto to serve as the medlum
of communication. But such construc'
tidns have no chance of practical adop-
ton, nor could they answer as well as
actual language whether dead like
Latin or living like English.
There is language, however,
which is gradually becoming again d
living one, and which as a world IAN
guage would be ideal. The Greek uni
versities and Greek men of culture
including Venizelos himself, are en-
gagged in an attempt to restore ciassi
cal purity and perfection to modern
Greek. 1t is said that the endeavol
is by no means vain, and that gradu
ally the ancient model is being ap
preached. We may yet have the speech
of Pericles, the written language o
Plato, employed in social intercours
and commercial transactions, in con
tracts, in courts of law, in houses o
assembly. Minneapolis Journal.

guIoarians Reduce Alphabet.

Simplifcation of the Bulgarian or
biography by eliminating three letters
of the alphabet, recently ordered by
the cabinet council, has just been put
into effect. The censorship, still exist
ing here, will enforce the new spelling
in all publications.
These three letters are remnants Of
the old Slav tongue. They do not ex-
ist in the Serbian language and they
recently were ordered stricken from
the Russian alphabet by the soviet
ministry Of public instruction. Their
principal spelling is taken in some
quarters to be an effort toward closer
relations with the Serbs.

UNION SERVICE
AT GRACE CHURCH

Rev. L. P. MCGEE preached his fare
well sermon at Grace Methodist
church last evening and the congre-
cations of the Presbyterian and Bap
tist churches united with the Grace
congregation in bidding him farewell
and wishing for him many years OF
useful service and happiness.
Addresses were made by Rev. J. f.
Matheson of the Presbyterian church
and DR.. E. S. Reaves, of the Baptist
church expressing the love and es
TEEN in which they held Rev. Mr..
McGee and the high esteem in which
he is held by the community. Two
years ago he came to Grace church
and quickly made place for himself
in the hearts of the people and deep
regret is felt on all sides that he is to
go to another field.
The retiring pastor responded to
these words of farewell and his re
marks were most appropriate and
tender.
A beautiful feature of the service
was the presentation .of an elegan
gold watch and chain to Rev. Mr.. Nc
Gee with the inscriptions:
"Rev. L. P. MCGEE from the. mem
bership of Grace M. E. Church, South,
Union, S. c., 1921"
The presentation was made by Hon

annum, is $71, ,579,S99, according to
the report today of the census bureau.
OF the so leading agricultural coun-
ties in the United States, II are in
the South. But none of them are
located in Alabama, Georgia, Tennes-
see, Florida, Virginia or Arkansas. OF

These rich Southern counties de-
pend chiefly on cotton and corn. North
Carolina gets credit for tobacco and
sweet potatoes, while Texas adds
wheat, oats and forage. The richest
county. LOS Angeles, produces or
anges, lemons, hay and forage and
walnuts.
While the production of live stock
figures prominently in the resources
of counties West and North, it is not

paid tribute to the dead man:
Yesterday in Washington, the cap
ital of the nation, there was laid to
his rest, until the trumpet call of the
re ellie of the judgment day, the un-
known soldier.
1T was fitting that our own and
other nations should join in honor to
this hero, silent in death. He sleeps
the last long sleep, in beautiful Ar
lington, in the lands that have come
down to us from George Washington
and Robert E. Lee.
"There, in a wonderful structure
built by human hands, what more fit
ting place for the gallant dead of our
country than in this former home of
Washington and Lee, our greatest SOL
diers.
"But today, we are present at a
scene more striking still to us. For
we are laying away to his long sleep,
in the earth for his sepulchre, with
the blue vault of heaven, work Of God,
for his canopy, the soldier known.
1--WE read in the Bible that a king
of the ancient times would take the
tallest, strongest of his men to be his
bodyguard; and here, the Heavenly
Father has reached down and has tax
en- one Of His tall, strong sons to be
in the bodyguard of the King of
Glory.
"Take comfort, you, the inner cir
Gle of those who loved him, take COM
fort from this day.
wn ministry Of 26 years, I have
never before seen funeral like this.
Once, in another part of the county
at the funeral of very popular man,
Sheriff FAINT said that if he could have
as many people come to his funeral
he would not mind dying. This vast
gathering today is the response of our
hearts to his wish.
"Sleep on, beloved, sleep and take thy
rest:
Thy precious head upon thy Savior's
breast,
We loved thee well---but Jesus loves
thee best,
Good night. Good. night. Good
night"
The benediction was pronounced in
unison by the ministers present.
The grave was literally banked un-
der the flowers sent by sympathizing
friends. &tt

HUGHES PROPOSAL
STIRS DELEGATION

Washington, Nov. 13.-Delegates to
the arms conference had not decovered
day from the shock of Secretary
Hughes blunt presentation yesterday
If the proposal for immediate reduc-
tion of the fleets of Great Britain, the
United States and Japan, and for a
ten year naval holiday.
The concrete terms of the American
plan, laid before the opening session
IF the conference on limitation of
ornaments, were still in the hands of
he naval experts of the other two
powers chiefly concerned.
Pending their conclusions, no fur.
ther step is probable. The spokes-
men here for Great Britain and Japan
have nothing to add to their previous
guarded comments on Mr.. Hughes
suggestions. AS far as they went,
these statements were encouraging
and it was certain at least that no
possibility of flat rejection of the plan
existed. Without doubt it will form
the basis for reaching whatever con-
illusions the conference brings forth
With further time for study by in
terested officials of all nations, the
American plan began to stand out to-
day in its true proportions. Appar-
emily it is far more than ten year
naval holiday that is projected, cou-
pied with immediate heavy reduction
Of the fleets of the three powers. Be-
vond that is third, equally blunt and
direct suggestion for continuing
agreement, to limit the size of battle
fleets permanently. That is what Mr..
Hughes naval replacement plan really
amounts to.
In naming the ships to which each
main battle fleet would be cut if the
American plan for immediate red,ic-
Ion was accepted, Secretary Hughes
etatement shows that Great Britain
md the United States would be on NJ
>vnct equality in the number of BIT
tleships, but the British would reta,r
= addition four battle cruisers. Tho
proposed japanese fleet would he com
posed of six ,battleships and four bat.
tie cruisers, while the United States
would be content with battleships
alone.
This may prove significant as the
discussion proceeds, some naval off
GERS believe. 1t appears probable that
in proposing to agree that. b5th of the
island powers should be provided in
equal numbers with those newest ad-
ditions to the main ceets of nations
while the United States made no at
tempt for 10 years at least to equip
the American fleet similarly, the
American delegation to the arms con-
ference sought to convey a very def
mite assurance that America, as Presi-
dent Harding told conferees, came to
the discussion with no selfish purpose
Eo serve.
\ REIMBURSEMENT by the United
9tates of any battle cruiser eler rent
IN her fleet, some officers said, at once
indicated clearly that the navy was
not maintained with the deliberate
idea that it might some day think it
advisable to raid the sea commerce of
the two insular powers or either of
them. Battle cruisers would be inval-
liable; perhaps vital to successful
prosecution of naval war across the
Pacific IL waS said
