SAYS CHURCHES SHOULD
USE MOVIES, CEASE ABUSING

Chicago, Mar. 4.-The statement
that the church should use the NOV
les for education, recreation and
evangelization instead Of abusing and
berating them, was made by Rev. Dan
B. Brummitt, editor of the Epworth
Herald, in an article appearing to-
day in the Herald, organ Of 100000
members of the young peoples organ
ization Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church.
IF church people will do more
than merely accept proper pictures
and will actively encourage their pro.
duction, they will hasten the day Of
better things in the picture world
said the article, which was in reply
to criticisms coming to the publishing
house because it had advertised q
movie.

MOTHER

The following tribute to Mother"
was printed in the Columbia State
of last Sunday, and will be of inter-
est to people here because it was
written by Wallace Cheatham, an
Abbeville boy, and the son of Mr..
and Mrs. John T. Cheatham.
We live through life's eternal tide,
Blessed by the words of mothers
prayer;
Can we only enter into the chamber
so wide,
Built Of the holiness of life's lone
stairs.
When mother has gone and no more
can bless,
When God has called her so far
away;
Her prayers on earth can no longer
caress,
For ourselves alone we must watch
and pray. :
We know our best and truest friend
has parted,
Her parting left this earth so lonely
and bare;
And only too true, we are so broken
hearted,
Though to each, this time of life is so
unfair.
Can we but sit and linger and long,
And pray to God, our Father, to guide
We, his children from evils of wrong,
The way mothers rules of prayer to
abide.
Another such friend on earth can
meier be found,
That had forever so watchful an eye:
Till we reach in Heavens own bound,
And cease to tread in earthly wild.
When we have been called from this
earth away,
And enter into Gods holy throne;
Can we but commemorate in but a
day,
A picture so real of Home, Sweet
Home"
Can we only picture in the mind
alone,
A minute, an hour, a day o. a year
The Sun of holy light has ever SO
shown,
Which has made life all so dear.
IT'S because we all live so near;
Hereafter We are meier so far;
Held by the hand Of mother dear,
Guided by Heavens same lone star.

FROM SEPTUS
lin Anderson Tribune)

Say, Mr. Farmer, did you ever
think the day would come when in or
der 10 get a little fertilizer on a
iI-cG:t VITA which to make a crop that
iyou would have to answer a ques-
tionarry as long as your arm and
thus let the business world know all
about your private business affairs?
! Nd il addition to this also give a
bill of sale on so much cotton which
is nothing less than, than an old
style lein-just a wolf in sleeps
clothing to fool US, that's all.
Yes, you must tell them whether
or not you own your land, if 81 how
much you owe on it and who you owe
it to. How many mules or horses you
work and if they are paid for, if not
how much do you owe on them and
who to, also any other debts that you
owe and how much and who to. Yes,
how many acres of cotton you are
going to plant and if your wife and
children are able to help you make
and gather it in case the boil weevil
doesn't gather it for you. Also if
YOU are willing to eat corn bread and
drink branch water while you are
making and gathering said cotton al
lowing of course little 2x4 agent
who sold it to call good rations,
smoke ten cent cigars with no work
attached to the transaction but turn
around in his easy revolving chair
and have you sign your death var
rant. All you are asked to do, Uncle
is to produce the cotton and haul it
in and of course there's no work
about that. And now Uncle RUDE,
you can do as you please but before
we will either answer their question
naire give them a bill of sale on our
cotton we will scatter saw dust I'M
der our crop and let it make what it
will. Just so long IS we walk up and
lick salt only to be lassoed and then
tied hard and fast we will be chew
ers of wood and drawers of water"
We can prove that some of the fer
tilizer agents are just staggering in
their sleeves about how easy some of
the cotton farmers are walking into
their chill of sale trap" L~ongfellow
tells us not to be like dunn driven
cattle but just sign that bill of sale
contract. Uncle RUDE, and e when
the time comes if you are not led to
the slaughter pen.
The Anderson county farmers
haven't yet reached the point where
they are going to sell their birthright
for a few tons of cheap guano. As
for US, we had as soon sign u cot
ton over to the boil weevil as to the
fertilizer sharks. SHANKS.

ADMISSION TO THE BAR.

The Press and Banner would not
deprecate the value of training for
the bar, nor for any other profession
OF calling. It is undoubtedly advis-
able that the young man preparing
for admission to the bar should Sc
cure all the college training possible,
as we'll as the best legal education
possible. Wherever opportunity offers
the prospective lawyer should be glad
and willing to comply with the sug-
gestions of The American Bar Asso-
citation that before one can be admit
ted to the bar he must have two
wears of college training and be a
graduate of a three year law school.
We have known a great many law
yers who practiced law without ever
having been students in either a col
leee or a law school. Some of these
were good lawyers. Many of them
were. Most of them we think
would have been much better lawyers
had they been able to secure a col
lege education and then perhaps
training at a good law school.
But while this is true, it is never
theless also true that some of these
men would never have been lawyers
at all had the requirements been that
the candidate for admission to the
bar must have a college education
and then. a law school education.
Such requirements in the future will
make it impossible for a great many
young men to practice law who might
otherwise become great lawyers.
And it must be remembered that
not every educated man attends a
college. AS advisable as it is to
secure college training and it is not
indispensable that this be done be-
fore a man may be an educated man:
And while It is desirable that as many
candidates for admission to the bar
as possible attend law schools, it is
not at all necessary that this be done
in order to secure a good legal edu-
cation.
. And it must be remembered too
that it is becoming harder and hard
or each year for young men and
women to secure college training.
The tuition, board and other
charges in the better institutions Of
the, country r 50 high that it is
only The most fortunate who can at
tend these institutions. When it is
considered that it will cost from
five thousand dollars to seven or
sight thousand dollars to secure two
years training in a first class COL
lege and then three years training
in q law school, it becomes evident
that the doors are closed to many
ambitious and promising young
men.
We do not give much considera-
ton to the claim that the ethical
standards of lawyers who graduate
from law schools are higher than
those who do not attend these law
schools. Our experience is that good
lawyers and bad lawyers alike come
from the colleges and law schools,
and are to be found amongst those
who have not attended law schools
or colleges
We might say in passing that
those colleges and law schools
which expect to come nearer per-
forming their full obligations to the
public should take counsel as to
how the expenses Of students at
tending them may be so reduced as
to afford opportunity to more and
more young men Of the country.

Lodge, the Unconscious Humorist.

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge is one
of the best unconscious humorists in
the country. After asserting that the
methods employed by the Democrats
in exposing the infamies of tine Ford
ney-McCumber Tariff bill for post
poning the arrival of a period of
stability, he said:
business could not fully recover
while uncertainty existed as to the
tariff rates."
The Republicans came into control
OF both branches of Congress follow
ing the general elections of 1918.
They have been in full control of all
branches of the Government since the
Fourth of March, 1921. 1t was not
until a few months ago that they have
even attempted to revise the tariff,
and their present efforts are exciting
the ridieule, contempt and denuncia-
ton of even their own party press.

Morse Pardon Petitions Increase Moral
Turpitude.

The attempt of Attorney General
Daugherty to shield himself In the
Morse case by getting behind the
petitions for Morse's pardon signed
by Senators and Representatives and
other prominent men has not created
the favorable impression evidently
hoped for and expected. These petit
lions were obtained by the wife OF
Charles w. Morse based upon repre-
sensations that Morse was in a dying
condition, and few men are able to
resist the appeal of a sorrowing wife
and mother in such circumstances.
Instead of strengthening the At
torney Generals position, it has
strengthened the case against him in
the minds of those who had taken the
trouble to analyze it. 1t is admitted
now that President Taft was deceived
as to Morae's condition, and these
Senators and Representatives obvi-
onsly also were deceived. Therefore
the moral turpitude Of those who
practiced the deception is all the
greater because il was practiced npon
such O great number Of men actuated
by humane feelings and motives.
