PASTOR FORCED TO RESIGN
Because Soldier Wasn't Church Mem
ber He Didn't Want to Bury Him.


The Rev. DR.. Henry d. Coe, pastor
Of the First Baptist church Of Bristol,
Conn.,, has rendered his resignation
following a controversy because OF
his refusal to officiate at the funeral
of a soldier, q Bristol veteran who was
killed in action and whose body was
brought from France for burial.
Arrangements had been made by
Seicheprey Post of the American Le-
gion to take charge Of the funeral OF
the soldier, Private William Schaeffer
of Co. D. 1O2nd Infantry.
Arrangements included remarks by
DR.. Coe Officers of the Legion were
informed by DR.. Coe, however, ac-
cording to the report they made to the
members, that he would be unable 20
officiate, inasmuch as Private Schaef-
fer was not member of the church.
The Legion officers then visited the
chaplain of the post, the Rev. Ernest
L. Wismer, pastor Of the Bristol Con-
gregational church. who directed the
Legion to have the body brought to
his church, where the services were
conducted.
The board Of dcacons of the church
called special meeting and Vernet
Duttcn, Commander of the Seicheprey
Post, testified regarding the conversa-
ton he had with DR.. Coe. The pastor
told the deacons that he could not Of
ficiate because of previous engage
ment.
The board of deacons holds that
whether or not the boy belonged to
the church, the fact remains that he
should have a Christian funeral in
whatever church the American Legion

Edgeheld, s. c., Oct. Is, 1921

Mr.. T. D. Wood,
Fountain Inn, s. c.
Dear Mr. Wood:
Upon receipt Of your message this
morning l got in touch with some of
the more intelligent negroes and will
endeavor to send some help up your
way next week.
The people in your immediate Sec
tion no doubt feel just like the farm
ers of this country felt a Year ago.
that they could make one more crop
and get rich before the weevil did any
damage. The result Is 1t is taking
around ten acres to the average to get
a bale of cotton.
George T. Swearingdon,- of Trep.
ton, is the most progressive farmer
we have, running about 100 plows or
more, with as good land as there rs In
the state and in high state OF ctil-
tivation; where he has been making
a bale and upwards to the acre, is
getting a bale to each four acres, with
all the poison and fast cultivation and
early planting; SO If yct can DO any
thing up there to make tho people
actually realize their condition, you
will certainly do a great good. You
will make very little cotton another
year, and you can gamble everything
you have got on it. The conditions
here are deplorable; in the clay Sec
tion, which is the character or land
you have, about a bale to the plow js
the average. How the negroes are yge-
ing to get through the winter Is a ser
ious matter with land owners,as, they
have no work to offer thcp. ''. "~'''~@
On top of the debts Of this year,
though they are small there :is "a
heavy carry-over of debts from last
year, and that makes they Situation
the more acute. You have seen ,,the
barren fields in passing throusht ION
the train, and you saw the best por-
tion of the country. Prauticallyoall
of the cotton has been ginned, and
there is nothing to do around here's
If you have any man In your sec
ton who has not been in the asylum
who does not believe the weevil Is
going to hurt him, ask him to. take
trip through this section. It is only
ar hours ride by automobile from
Greenwood, and when he gets back
home he will have a different idea
about this matter. They had better
proceed to get oats in the ground.
and buy seed corn, because they have
got to make their own living out Of
their own land. OF course very few
people are capable Of having proper
conception of what the boil weeyil
amounts to, and hence they will make
preparation, to make another big crop.
and then you are going to see a lot
of that high priced land bought on a
credit go through the sheriff's hands.
Many people who are in line for the
weevil look upon it about like they
do judgment day, that it will not come
during their life time.
With kind personal regards.

Washington, October 2S.-An apology
to the house which attempted to eXpel
him was made today by Representative
Thomas l.. Blanton DemocraD of
Texas, in a letter to Speaker Gillett,
read to his colleagues and warmly ap-
plauded-especially by Republicans.
The Texan, occupying the same seat
from which he arose to defend him
self against the charge that he had
printed h the Congressional Record
an obscene affidavit relating to con-
versation between two printers, took
no part in the brief discussion pre-
ccding the presentation of his apology.
The letter was sent to the speaker
and laid before the house by Repre-
sentative Wash CRepublican) OF
Massachusetts,, acting in the formers
absence.
Speaking in behalf Of Mr.. Blanton,
Representative Garrett of Tennessee,
reading asked that four words used
BY the Texan in answering Represen-
tative LongwOrth (Repubiican of
Ohio be striken out of the perman-
cnt record of congress on the ground
that they had been uttered in the
stress of debate and were not intend
ed. Representative MOndell of Wyom-
ing. the Republican leader, objected.
Mr.. Longworth had asked Mr.. Blan-
ton if there was any truth in the re-
port that he had expressed a9 intcn-
ton of sending out 100000 copies of
his speech, expunged from the record
last Monday, and he had replied that
il financially abe he would put it in
the hands of every male voter in the
country just as it is.
1t was agreed among Republicans
that Mr.. Longworth had put the Texan
on Il limb" and that probably two
score. who had been in doubt, voted
for expulsion, simply because of the
MEMBERS own statement.

mated the words Just as it is" be-

Washington, D. c., Oct. 26-How
old are you?'
People have always lied in reply to
that question. Criminals seeking to
conceal their identity, women wishing
to appear younger than they are (that
is all women past 20), young couples
seeking marriage licenses, men seeking
jobs, have all made a practice Of claim
ing whatever age seemed most con-
vcnicnt and not too obviously belcd by
their looks. Young boys wanting to
be soldiers and sailors ciaNn to be old
er than they are. Professional ath-
letes frequently claim to be younger.
The list might be heightened indef-
nite!y
Well, science has found a new age
test, which will make it much hard
er for any one, who can be subjected
to an investigation, to conceal his age.
This scientific test was first used quite
recently in connection with Chinese
immigration. According to the law,
Chinese fathers in this country may
bring in sons under 81 Now a China
mans age is the hardest thing in the
world for an occidental to guess. The
Chinese face is slow changing mask.
A Chinaman' of 90 often looks almost
like one of 40. So that horde Of sons
claiming TO he under y were pouring
into this country and no one could
succe ssfully dispute the claim-until
=. the N-ray was turned upon the prob
lem.
! The doctor who tells the story eX-
p,aincd that age can be determined to
a considerable extent by looking at the
bones of the individual with the X-ray.
The doctor added that N-rays might
he used to advantage in other con-
rections to determine age. For in
stance, he suggested that it might be
employed in issuing marriage licenses
when the couple appears TO be of un-
certain maturity And if women ever
become so eager 10 vote that they
CAIN to b, OF age before they really
are. it might be used to test their
claims.

went on to recount some interesting
experiences in this field Of medicine.
The life Of an N-ray surgeon has
tragic east because constant use of
the rays and exposure to them is apt to
result in cancer or terrible burns.
Danger from burns is less now as the
doctors have learned better how to
handle the rays. But surgeons still
give their lives, because the powerful
rays that destroy diseased tissue so
thoroughly also prey on healthy
tissues.
knowledge of the dangers to be eX-
peclcd, however, does not seem to deter
doctors from entering this fed OF
medicine. Much experimental work is
being conducted To increase the uses to
which X-rayS can be put. Regardless
of themselves. surgeons are eagerly
testing new possibilities OF N-rays to
diagnose internal troubles such as
tuberculosis. and to cure diseases

um.
But the surgeons life has its light
