"WALTER RYLANDER
'E. M. VIQUESNEY
Pastor Backs Memorial

The following paragraphs are from
a sermon preached by Rev. Silas
Johnson, at the Lee Street Methodist
church Sunday night on the subject,
why Build a Monument to World
War Heroes:
Text: Hebrews 2; 1 Therefore
we ought to give the more earnest
heed to the things which we have
heard, else at anytime we should let
them slip"
"One of mans shortcomings is:
We forget what we ought to remem-
Der and remember what We ought TO
forget. The purpose of this monu-
ment which we propose to erect is to
remind US of cause, of a mighty
struggle, and of the sacrifices made
by Sumter county's representatives in
this mighty contest.
There are only two questions that
need to be answered in this discus
sion. First, will it benefit us to be
reminded of the ideal which thrust
our soldiers out into this conflict?
Do we need to be reminded of the
victory they bought with their blood?
Will a reminder of their sufferings
enable US to fight and work for peace
so that wars may be forever blottcd
out? Second, are we able now to
build this monument? If we answer
the first question in the affirmative
then this question is answered also.
For we can do what we oughJ to do.
In fact, I fear that The cost OF this
monument will be so small till we
will underestimate its value.
II am certain that there is a
need to be reminded, lest we forget,
and | am firm in my conviction that
this monument will do so better than
anything else. And l would like to
give you five good reasons why this
monument:
''To Remind Us"
"First, to remind us of the victory
they won. They won for US a vie
tory commercially. We growl about
hard times, but we know nothing of
hard times. If this war had contin-
| ued while longer we might have

CHAUTAUQUA

to amount of such guarantee, also,
concede, in addition the $500 rent
for the ground, and on account of
the men not having the time to de-
vote to this, we will have to pass the
Chautauqua up for the next season.
Although we have gotten one hun
dred men to sign this guarantee,
none of them, Individually or collec-
lively, are willing to assume the re-
sponsibility of collecting same.
We think it very much to your in
terest to do this, as the ladies are
very much dissatisfied and this will
put them in a much better spirit to
work for the success of the Chautau-
qua. In case you see fit to grant
tbs concession, they agree to relieva
you of any other guarantee-no mat

PARROTT GINS
IN PRICE WAR
So Farmers Enjoy 81 90
Rate, Including Bag
ging And Ties

PARROTT, Aug. .29.-The farm
crs Of this community are enjoying a
season of cheap ginning. On account
of one Of Parrott's ginners cutting
the price of ginning from $3.75 to
$500, a misunderstanding arose be-
tween the two gins and the price
was put down to $1.00 at .Dunn's gin.
This is the price for the entire season
and is little above the retail price Of
bagging and ties, and these are in
cluded in the above price. Many
farmers from good distance are
hauling their cotton here, to get the
benefit of this low priced ginning.
On the first day of cheap ginning
tbs plane ginned 70 bales.

Americas may have no chautauqua
next season. This has just developed
from correspondence made public by
Frank Lanier, one of the one hundred
local guarantoTs contracting for the
1922 season. in which he has demand,
ed that the ladies of the Hospital as

chautauqua advance ticket sale each
year without profit to their associa-
ton, be permitted to share 10 per
cent of the advance ticket sale other
wise withdrawing as q guarantor, and
speaking, he said for 90 per cent of
the other signers of the guarantee,
which calls for $t,975 advance ticket
sales.
According to Mr.. Lanier the local
representative of the Redpath Chau-
tadua when the guarantee was being
made up at the close Of the last sea
son here, was put on notice that the
local signers would not 90 through
with the contract unless the ladies
were permitted to receive 10 PEI

by him with the head office, but the
matter has come to a showdown only
within the last few years. The Red
path concern insists on the terms Of
the contract without the 10 per cent
clause, and suggests that if Mr.. La
nier persists in his stand that ne
withdraw and remain inactive and
permit another guarantor to be OBJ
tanned in his stead. This he says he
is unwilling to do, but rather will do
everything in his power to secure for
the ladies a share of the advance re
ceipts for their labor, if the chautau-
qua returns. The Redpath concern
is said to have approached other citi-

for service against the Moors.
In faded and worn uniforms of the

Of whom have been out of work for
weeks and months. are quite ready to
forswear allegiance to the United

flag on the edge of the Sahara for
go cents a day.
Were not doing it for a lark"
they declare. Were doing it to
keep life in our bodies We're hun

When a similar recruiting station
opened in London last week it was
stOrmed by applicants, most of them
former soldiers who were out of
work and desperate.
Recruiting began here this week.
More than 400 Americans have en-
rolled thus far. Stations may be

New York.
These service men were not too
proud to fight, but they are too
proud to beg. We can't find work
for them without the public's CO.

A Needed Next in Movies.

1T is generally admitted that the moving picture
i business has reached period of uncertainty
which is more than a reflection of the general in
dustrial depression. Both the movie fans and the
producers asking: what next?" Sensations
and thrills are about exhausted and unless the silent
drama can progress a step further into the world
of art the public may revive its lost appetite for the
spoken drama.
+ 1t would seem to be the psychological moment
for some film producer with breadth and vision to
develop series of educational films and childrens
films The parents and teachers of the country
would rise up and call him blessed and his financial
reward would not be lacking providing he had the
imagination to reach the children. So far the So
called chidren's plays have been done from the
elaborate expensive settings for the names of
films would find his expenses decreased without
lowering the artistic standard of his work.
This is not wholly uncharted field for already
several States have developed moving pictures for

extension department of one Western university has
produced for in the schools and churches of that
State numbers of excellent plays based upon the
literary classics as we'll as educational films to
vitalze the teaching of history, GEOGRAPHY and
other subjects. In one State over 700 schools and
churches are equipped to use these films that are
sent out for a small rental fee-
But few States have facilities or funds for such
work though their educators are awake to the in
estmable value Of the moving picture in education.
Some wise film maker should supply that need as
well as supplying moving picture houses with real
children's plays.

Simply Of Course.

TT SHOULD be no more worthy of comment
II that former President Wilson viii be especially
invited to attend the Armistice Day observances,
than that former President, now Chief Justice Taft
will be so distinguished. That Mr.. Wilson will
have place of honor on that occasion and the
opening of the conference is of course. This IS not
politics; it is just courtesy; but more, it is
assumed without the saying anything else would not
occur to those in charge of these programs.
Mr.. Wilson, with real excuse of serious illness,
had he cared to use it, went, it were, from his
sick bed to show President-elect Harding the cour-
tesy of accompanying him to the Capitol for the
inaugural ceremonies. This was custom. 1t was
an official act yet had the personal element. The
Armistice Day and conference ceremonies are OF
the same character
One Of President Hardings finest qualities is a
splendid spirit OF genuine, kindly cordiality This
comes from sincere liking for his fellow men, a
total absence of that littleness which is personal
1t is not possible to imagine him deliberately slight
ing Mr.. Wilson or treating him otherwise than with
the utmost consideration, and thoughtful kindli-
ness. Mr.. Wilson knows all the foreign delegates.
He met and acted with them in his official capacity.
1t would be almost impossible for them not to pay
him the personal courtesies required by foreign
custom.
No one certainly would have it otherwise.
Americans would resent, as Americans, any slight
to man they had twice honored with the Presi-
dency, and his inclusion in the ceremonies at Arl-
ington and of the conference gathering is just as
much "a matter of course that they would hardly
be complete without him. He was commander-in-
chief of the armies which went to France, of which
the unknown soldier" was one. He represented
American idealsm to all the Old World and this
conference is sequence of the Peace Conference
at Paris of which he was of the chief char
acters.

Crimes and the Negro.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
The long-looked-for has come at
last! For the past few weeks some
of US have been wondering what
on earth has come over our native
land: now we begin to feel quite
homefike and comfy.
Several days ago a Greek died
suddenly in church and his priest.
not a negro, was arrested for kill
ing him; an Italian was butchered
in his home and no search was
started for burly negro; a little
girl OF IL was found In a wood,
barbarously murdered. and no
bloodhounds were put on the track
Of some simple minded negro; lit
tie Mrs. Eastlake was killed in a
way too horrible to think of and
for several days, to our unspeak-
able establishment, not a word was
said about looking for a negro.
Miss Knox, however, puts an end
to that According to a Sunday
morning paper. she is quoted as
saying. 1T seems to me such a
crime as only brute, positively a
fiendish negro, could commit"
So now all that is necessary is
to go out and pick up some ragged,
homeless negro and offer him up
for sacrifice and the mystery is
solved, the ends OF justice served

Plea for Fruit Vendors.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
The regulations under which
fruit vendors are required to dis
pose of their goods are certainly
to be deplored. It always appears
that laws are more stringent upon
the hard working labor man.
A few days ago had occasion to
observe q fruit vendor. a poor
Italian. pushing his cart laden with
salable wares, with extreme energy
In an effort TO avert collision with
a careless automobile driver. After
succeeding in doing so, he pulled
up to q curb where stood a police
man q few feet away. He walked
over to the officer and meekly but
politely asked him in broken Eng
lish IL IL would be all right to park
his cart at certain spot for a few
minutes. No doubt after going
through the ordeal to gain safety
for himself and his only means OF
livelihood. the poor fellow was
nervous and tired, which was quite
apparent by the great amount OF
perspiration that streamed down
his face. The policeman spoke very
roughly and so. frightened the poor
vendor that he ran to his cart,
hastily retreating down the street
Not only was an eye witness to
this scene. but numerous others,
and the remarks that were made
within my hearing distance are suf-
hcient for me to say that full SYM
pathy was with this poor vendor.
II these poor foreigners come 70
free and democratic America 70
seek fortune, and above all liberty
and Justice and are legally adj
nttted and eligible 70 citizenship,
why deprive them OF the means TO
earn an honest living for them
selves and their families.

missioners Of the District OF Colum-
bia win modify these regulations,
