Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Howard, of Whit.
mirc, spent Sunday with Mr.. and
Mrs. c. w. T.. Willard.
Mrs. /. d Willard and two small
children, Jack and Agnes, have gone
to Greenwood for an extended visit
with her sister.
c. c. Rochester and son, Charlie,
attended Presbyterian service at
Whitmire Sunday morning.
Rev. Hi! filed his regular appoint
ment at Black Rock Sunday morning;
very small crowd was present. !
-hlnk more people could come.
Know hey could, when it is only once
a month. There are members of the
church who never come. Even the
de@- -ons stay away. Rev. Hill said
"c were still going to have services
every second Sunday morning. Said
ne would be glad to have more come.
See if you can't manage to come
next second Sunday. Just imagine
yourself in the pastors place, and all
the members and officers would stay
away, don't you think you would be
inclined to become discouraged Z?
But where there are a few gathered
together in the Lords name, and
for no other purpose but to worship
Him, much good will be don. We
long to see more interest taken in the
church and Sunday school. Send the
children to church and Sunday school
ana come with them. Pansy.

Price of Gas Goes
Down in Paris

So"h HI dIIS
Paris, May 19.-The war of the
pump and can which has been send
ing the price of gasoline down dur
ing the past three monts has ended
in a treaty of peace between the
rivals.
The familiar red pump labelled
filtered gasoline" was introduced
into the Paris region a few months
ago by an American concern and
spread rapidly, so rapidly that the
big local refners who have large
sums locked up in cans grew alarmed
and began cutting prices against the
pump.
The pump interests responded and
between them the price of the gallon
dropped by stages from $3.50 to rs
cents. The belligerents then found
the war Improbable, came to an
agreement and raised the price by
15 cents gallon, at which advance
it remains fixed.

been planted, but this crops planting

cotton has been reduced, and corn

is badly rusted and is poor, but oats
generally are good. Sweet potato

Last week Johnny Woods, a middle
aged colored man died. He had been
in bad health for more than a year,
and had been unable during the time
to do any work. much. He had ac-
cumulated some property, owning a
tract of land and mules, but like many
other men, either white or colored, let
prosperity of two or three years ago
carry him off his feet, and I learn, got
in debt. But what wanted to say,
he was worker. He was never seen
idling away hours around town or sta
tion. If you saw him there, he was
there on business. On Saturdays and
wet days, when the majority of his
race met at Carlisle, Santuc or Union
to loaf he was at some work, often
preparing wood to sell, or was selling
around here or at Union. Up to the
time he was taken sick he was almost
always at work; then he was not able,
but he was not seen away from home
loafing. He seemed to have no taste
for it. And all this Is one reason why
he made and saved something, and
idling is why many of his race never
make much, nor save anything. John
Woods interfered with no ones bus
mess. He had the white peoples re-
spect.
This being an election year I guess
many will be starting fires under the
political pots" that I have heard
spoken of. 1t seems there is going to
be the biggest crop of office seekers
that we have had in some years. Won
der if it is because there will be more
voters, the women. People are begin
ming to talk politics. Many are al
ready talking Of reforms, and no
doubt some candidates will go to max
ing some very pleasing promises (if
they stick) and some may be called
upon to give accounts of their stew
ardship, for people just will think
they are tax-burdened, and they want
to know where it all is going. 1t is
no use to tell some, ooh, you don't
pay much," which may be true, but
he pays it in good faith, and wants
to know. Yes, I guess reform would
be good thing. There ought to be
principles as well as principals.
1 see that Governor Cooper is going
to swap the governship for farm
loan board position with $4,000 to
boot. 1t is a promition, financially,
if not of as much honor. Ten thousand
dollars is big pay. Seems most too
much for the work. / guess work as
governor of South Carolina is as much
as work on that board. Then living
cost more in Washington than in CO.

But big salaries make cost

any, who will sing, "Blest be the tie

the ground runs the tap root which f Scut will cause the great tree to die. It IS a very Important part of the whole tree.
 So If we have or believe even a small vital truth we are in a sense connected with an the truth and as we practice the truth we know we come into knowledge of other truths We do not always see the results Of our being true to what we believe, but there are results just the same. Noah believed that God wanted him to warn the people of impending doom. They probably laughed at him. but his warning proved true and you know the results. He saved his own family and no other. but the reason that the generations since have heard the story. of Noah. is that he was faithful to the things that he knew were right So with Abraham. He practiced the things | he knew, and because he did so. he is known to US as the friend of God" Let us follow at any cost the things We be- lieve and know to be true, and other truths will be opened Up to us.p

NOON SHOP MEETING AT

The employees of the Richmond Radia-
 tor Go. were much interested atythe noon
 meeting under Y M. c. A. auspices on
 Tuesday at which Rev. R. |. Roberts de-
 iivered a very earnest address on the topic, Doing the Things We Believe. Among other things he said. @One of the things we all notice is that while most men have their beliefs far too many of us fail to live up to them. It does not make 50 much difference how much or how little we know. The important thing is that we do what we do know to be right It is far easier for me to preach than it is for me to practice. Every man knows at Least a little of truth, and if he follows that which he knows he will be led into more truth. The important thing is that we believe in at least some truth, That we learn that any one truth is a part of all the truth.

APPEAL TO WOMEN FoR

THE NEAR EAST RELTEF|
 Mrs. George Maynard Minor of Wa ' terfoFd Apresident general of the D. A r.. IS one of 90 leading women who have organized the wonens emergency com nlttee to meet crisis thre catching with death 25s0o0 Armenian children now un- der American care owing to decreased contributions of the Near East Relief 4 must turn into the streets to die 25,oo0 of the 100000 children now being cared Tor Tn it's orphanages, unless immediate action is taken to save them Tn this emergency, Mrs Minor and the other. members of the committee appeal to IAuerican women.
 Mrs. Minor bases her plea for the lives of these children of Armenia on our Kindred ideals and contras sting fates. Her appeal follows:
 The traditions of liberty and equality that come to American women as part of their splendid heritage should prompt them at this time 10 respond to the cali or Arnenia's dire need. It is g, nation n1artyred for the faith we profess; it's people have stubbornly refused to re- ncunee Christianity at the price of safe 1 ty. EstabHshed government, the most precious family ties, and the rights Of individuals have been ruthiessly swept away in Armenia
 Here in America. we owe cur colona- zation to courageous men, who faced the dangers of an unknown wilderness ra- ther than compromise their faith. From our earliest days women have been rev. erenced and protected. The pioneer mo- ther enbodies our most noble tradition. Science and education has brought the conservation Of child life to high standard. and all our thinking bears on ways to make our children happier.
 Tn Armenia how different the picture Medieval degradation Is paraleled. The men are dead or in captivity: thousands of women are prisoners in Turkish ha- reTns. It is a nation of children. and those mothers who have managed to re. main with their babies find 1t irnpossi. ble to procure food So they crawl away to die. desertine their children in ths hope that the Near East Relief work. I CTS will pick them up and save them from starvation
 To understand present conditions ir that unhappy country is to realize that America is the most fortunate country ir the world Over here. the traditions oi faith and courage fostered the riches beliefs destroyed a land rich in culture and faith.
 We who have succeeded. mus il erty.'
 Conditions in Armenia are desperate Latest reports tell of a situation worse than in the most wretched parts of Rus sia. of 15 or more people d day founf dead from starvation in the streets O the capital of starving people taking tn dead bodies from cemeteries for food. 0 orphanages sovercrowded and outside th, doors the sound all day of cnilren vail ing. hoping to be taken in.
 It is to save from these horrors 25,B0l children now under American care tI1a Mrs. Minor and other members of tn Committee make their appeal
