1t was being driven by Mr.. W. l..
Mathis of Prosperity, and not run
ming fast as Mr.. Mathis is one of the

the Clinton hospital and several
stitches were made; the wounds were
not serious. The occupants had a
narrow escape from fatal injuries as

Messrs. Mathis and Coppock were ac-
companied by their wives in the car.

A Tip to Newberry
Baptist Courier.

BaptlSC courier.
At the invitation of the ladies of
that district, l recently had the priv
ilege of addressing one session OF
their conference at Newberry: The
train did not arrive in time for me to
be present at the rendering of the
entire program. The pageant of the
evening was just being completed,
and judging from what l saw must
have been very impressive and very
beautiful. It's lesson was the essence
of the gospel itself. Mrs. Maud Rey-
nolds McLure of Louisville was pres
ent and spoke few words in her own
happy vein concerning the great in
stitution over which she presides
with so much grace and efficiency.
The prosperity of the Training school
grows with the years. She now has a
splendid body of young women and
the continuous growth of the institu-
ton is constantly demanding more
room. No part of our work is more
prosperous.
1t was my privilege to speak on
Some Reasons Why We Should Pay
Our IS. Million Campaign Pledges.
When l learned after the address
that the Newberry First church was
some thousands of dollars ahead of
what was expected at this time, | felt
as if much of my address was not
neededEat that point. However, there
were many churches represented and
some of:the others were not in quite
so advantageous a position. The at
mosphere and spirit, however, were
distinctly optimistic and hopeful.
There was. no thought but that that
association would reach its quote. by
the end of April. Four of the pas;
tors, were, present and were. mani
NOUS IN this opinion. 1t was: the writ
er's privilege to be entertained in the
home of, the, bishop of First Baptist
church. Brother Babb and his. FAM
lily are charming hosts. His geniality
and earnestness have given him a
great hold upon the people, his work
is strongly seconded by Mrs. Babb.
1t was the writer's privilege also
to have some conference with Bro
ther l. H. Hunt and Brother West,
who are so deeply interested in the
work of the laymen of the state.
Brother Hunt is pushing plan of or
ganization which if carried through
throughout the state will mean I'M
mense things for the future of the
Kingdom and of the Baptist denom-
nation. The most hopeful sign of
the times is the increasing interest
and activity of the laymen. 1t is a
tragedy that during so much of Chris
tian history the church has eliminated
the laymen. His present resumption
of activity is but a revival of apos-
tolic Christianity. Brother Hunt
ought to be helped in every associa-
ton and church in this state, in order
that our laymen may together do the
things which they are so richly able
to do.

Few Try to Escape
Only SIX prisoners have attempted
to escape under the ''honor system. "
Three of these were recaptured and
punished by their fellows.
On the Saturday half holiday, base
ball games are played, with outside
teams sometimes present, and many
spectators. On Sundays, church serv-
ices of every denomination are held.
In fact, the ''honor system is based
on the Bible, Warden Plummer says,
and it is to religious influence he
looks for his results.
The prisons work is not finished
on discharge. The warden's first task
is to find the prisoner employment
with a firm which will overlook his
prison record and help him along. A
local shipyard has employed scores of
discharged men. The former inmate
comes to the warden frequently for

Bv WILL p KENNEDY.

Washington, May 28.-The First
Lady of the Land" Mrs. Warren G..
Harding, has private garden, the
existence of which is seldom sus-
pected by the thousands of visitors
who are now permitted to enter the
front doors OF the White House and
who peek through or over the back
yard hedge and iron fence. Here
Mrs. Harding spends many happy
hours, occasionally entertaining per-
sonal friends there. Through this
garden the president frequently walks
in going from the residential sec
ton of the White House to his Offices
in the west wing.
The White House gardnes are kept
in the finest artistic condition by
Charles Henlock, private gardner to
the mistress of the White House,
who has been on the job there for
IS years and for the last Is has been
in full charge of the White House
grounds and propagating gardens.
He came directly to Washington
from England, where he had been
employed under the late Archibald
Barron, superintendent of the Royal
Horticultural society gardens at
Chiswick.
The gardens, located south of the
White House, which were known as
the Colonel Gardens" of Mrs
Roosevelt, were originally designed
and planted by the late George H.
Brown, then landscape architect in
the office of public buildings and
grounds. They were entirely re-
modelled in the fail of 1918. and are
divided into two sections, known as
the east and west gardens.
John w. Weeks, Secretary of War,
is the only graduate of the Annapo-
lis Naval academy ever to hold a
cabinet position, and he comes from
a famous class at Annapolis, 1881,
which is planning to hold its 40th
reunion at the Naval academy next
month.
Secretary Weeks claims also the
distinction of being the first graduate
of Annapolis to become a member of
THE United States senate. But an
o.her one of his classmates fol-
lowed his good example and is now
in the senate-Senatcr Joseph |.
Weller of Maryland. Both Weeks

after short service. Admiral Henry

Capital Sidelights

9th congress, where he is conspicu-
ously absent When Representative
Addison 7. Smith of Idaho came to
congress nine years ago I've found
there were five Smiths in the house
and FIVE NOR in the senate. For the
first time in the history of the Ameri-
can congress there is now only one
Smith in the house. and one in the
senate-Senator Ellison De Rant
Smith of South Carolina, minister S
son. There have been 80 other
Smiths in congress and of these II
bore the name of John.
Representative Arthur NJ. Free of
California is the father of two sets
of twins.
Here's another newsboy come to
congress-Representative John J.
German of Chicago. Also, while edu-
eating himself and getting started in
law practice he helped Uncle Sam
run the mail service. He worked
his way through high school selling
newspapers. He worked nights as
postal clerk while going through
business college He worked days
as letter carrier while attending
law school evenings at Loyola uni
versity, where he was valedictorian
of his class. He worked as night
collector of mail and later as night
post office clerk during the first three
years of his law practice.
While there are several in congress
who boast that they got their edu-
cation by selling newspapers. there
is also one-Representative Charles
L. Underwood of Massachusetts,
who gives the newspaper full credit
for his education. He says that until
after he was man he had very few
books to study or read, and that he
learned to read from newspaper and
educated himself out of newspapers.
Now he is on a committee that is
framing legislation to give the ma
tional capital an educational system
that will be a model for the rest of
the country and the world beside.
