too much" eve do promise you that
if you grow cotton without growing
food for men and feed for animals,
we will all be worse off than bank

the part of religious organizations Is
becoming more and more lnslStcnt,
and in some instances the civil au-
thorities are yielding to it. The foun-
dation pillars Of civil and religious
liberty are being thus assalleu by
their most relentless foes.
Religious organizations that are
clamoring for governmental recognl-
ton of their peculiar dosaas are set
ting their sails to catch every wind
that blows. But they IRE working IN
the dark, under cover, camoufaglng
their real motives.
Thew are adopting the U-ooat
method in attacking the ship of state.
Civil liberty and religious liberty
stand or fall together. No nation can
long maintain one without the other.
They are the two compliments which
make the proposition complete. While
we are striving to make the world
saf for political democracy, we must
not forget to save the world from re-
lip;ous autocracy. A religious tyr
amy of the majority, confederated
for the purpose of controlling polirl-
cal institutions and depressing the
minority, is not whit better than a
religious autocracy of a few which
menaces the rights Of the majority.
Alliances of religion and politics
are H)ng in principle and always
dangerous to the cause Of civil and
religious liberty. The results of such
a combination can only be religious
and civil despotism.
A union Of religion with the civil
government is incompatible with the
teachings of the New Testament.
The medieval custom Of uniting the
church and the state in so-cailed
Christian nations is not an out-groWth
of true Christian principles, but is a
practice borrowed from pagan ma
tions, whose prevailing religion was
always fostered by, or perhaps we
would better say, identified with the
civil governments.
The present tendency toward at
tempting to make people righteous
and religious through the establish
ment of religious dogmas by civil au-
thority is danger signal at which
we should take alarm. Sunday laws
and universal compulsory Sunday OBJ
servance are an entering wedge, op-
ening gates for food of religious
legislation to follow in its wake. 1t
is high time that a strong voice OF
protest be raised against ecclesiasti-
cal encroachments upon our free IN
s.itutions, ard the conscience of the
individual. A complete enforcement
of the church from the state is in
harmony with Chcist's teachings, and
is the only sure basis of domestic
peace and religious freedom. Let US
keep the church and state eternally
separate that truth, justice and lIber-
ty may prevail, and that tranquility
and happiness may be promoted and
more firmly established.
Very sincerely yours,
Religious Liberty"

CONFERENCE OF FARMERS
WITH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

A group of Is or 20 farmers OF
Newberry county met with some of
the Chamber of Commerce officials on
Saturday at the invitation Of j. M.
Davis. chairman of the executive
committee and Secretary W. S. Mat
thews for the purpose of discussing
ways and means Of marketing some
Of the surplus crops. now on hand,
and also looking forward to better
cooperation batweea The farmers and
merchants iHthe matter OF marketing
in the futare. Ms. j. NJ. Davis, speak
ine for the directors of che Chamber
of Commerce, stated that the present
condition of affairs had brought far
mers and merchants to realization
of the fact that they mast work TO-
gether in the interest of all and that
he believed the merchants of New
berry and the Chamber of Commerce
stood ready to help in any way pos
sible "This condition" said Mr.. Da-
Wis, naturally turns our attention
to the question of a greater diversiti-
cation of crops on the farms"
County Farm Agent Mills said that
he believed the farmers would grow
other crops such as potatoes, corn,
oats, hay, ETC., if some fairly sure
method of marketing could be work
ed out.
r. M. Seawell of the Observer fur
nished considerable data on the rals-
ing of potatoes and explained how the
QUESTION of growing and marketing
is being handled successfully in other
sections, asserting that he believed II
could be done just as successfully IN
Newberry.
w. S. Matthews, secretary OF the
Chamber of Commerce, assured the
committee that if so farmers would
promise to grow at least one acre OF
pOEaCQGS SdCil uul ftiS lily NOA1AAAAS ~
SON he would promise that curing
house would be provided in NewDerry
to take care of the crop. Many OF
those present signifed their inten'
ton of planting small crop Of pota
toes this season.
Mr.. Seawell made the prediction
that the sweet potato. crop, within the
next few years, would become one OF
the largest crops raised in South Car
olina.
Many of the farmers of the county
have already evinced a keen interes1
in the present campaign of the New
berry Channbr of Commerce to ex
tend it's activities so as to include the
county as we'll as the city and 1t Is
expected that there will be goodlS

cultural interests on the new roll OF

together with the leakage from the
previous crops, a price from seven
to ten cents seems certain, while il
all cotton is marketed slowly or as
the spinning world is forced to. have
it, fifteen to twenty cents seems
equally certain"
Regarding credit, Mr.. Stackhouse
stated that if the facts are tas he be-
lieves them to be-, creditors will as
sist in the orderly marketing Of cot
ton, thus enabling debtors to- pay
up when the cotton is sold.
"The 1921 crop has been made
without the expenditure of much ac-
tual cash." Mr.. Ttackhouse said, ut
can be held by the farmer without
much cash: if the creditor agrees that
he hold and sell gradually, thus ZEN

dealers of the South.
"others engaged in the cotton

"and familiar with existing condi-
ton of both the domestic and for

of this large dealer. The Federal Re-
serve Banks at Richmond, Atlanta,

have recently sent out letters to mem
Der banks indicating that said re-
serve banks will go as far as the law
permits in aiding the South to mar
ket the 1921 crop and to carry over
from previous years in an orderly
manner. These banks have practically
put cotton on the same footing as
they have heretofore put U. S. bonds

Mrs. Smiths Thoughtful
Hospitality. II

some time and for that reason un-

Smith gave an sat home" in compli-
ment. to her neighbors Friday after
noon from five to seven o'clock. The
occasion proved to be one of genu-
inc pleasure to the ladies who reside
on Jeter STREET, as well as to the hos
tess herself who unfortunately had
been among the "shut-ins" for some
time on account of feeble health. 1T
gave these ladies not only an oppor-
tunity for pleasant conversation with
Mrs. Smith but the occasion also of
fered splendid opportunity for tete-
tetes among the neighbors them
ISIS a fine thing for people
everywhere to meet together and
converse amid a pleasant and whole
some environment.
1t not infrequently occurs that
are estranged and look as-
kance at each other simply because
they fail to avail themselves of the
opportunity of knowing and ASSOC
ciating with each other. Mrs. Smith
has set residents of other streets in
town a good example. And, too, why
would dt not be well for the men
folk to "break the ice" in a social
way and know each other better?

peach ice cream and cake that were
served and which were ~throughly

it was to be numbered among the
