and considerate for the young, more
sympathetic toward their impulses and
judgments, we should not be surprised
when they are not attracted by it. And
not only our young people, but some who
are Older, it may be, feel but slight inter-
est in the church and the great principles
Tor which it stands, for the like reason.
While many such are quite mistaken in
their judgments, there are PERHAPS too
many who are right when they condemn
Christian people for lack of the gracious
name. s, tolerant, courteous speech, and
gentle simplicity, that real religious faith
and he bit ought to impart to every life.
They who believe that truth is alwaya
ultimately victorious in every warfare,
that life grows better and better, and is
predestined to glorious consummation,
ought surely to be the happiest of all
people. Let it be part of our endeavor
to make this beauty visible.

Judge Harry S. Keldan of Detroit

His Honor asked the American Leg

with result that new set of ten

was impaneled.

American Legion Notes.

The fine points OF bravery are not
unknown to Governor Harry L. Davis
CT Ohio, but when he was asked to
pick the bravest ex-soldier in Ohio
to represent the Buckeye population
ut a national assemblage in San Fran
cisco, Cal, he declined the large re-
sponsibility. At his request the
American Legion undertook the selec-
tion.
Poison gas which A. NJ. Thompson,
Cheyenne, Wyo., policeman, inhaled
in France during the war four years
ago, had just caused him to lose
26 teeth, according to report made
by the American Legion. The police
man recovered from long illness
after the teeth had been removed.
Smarting red eyes among Brook
lyn, N. K, school 'children caused
several Shop owners to be hailed into
court. It was found that merchants
were selling a wartime device for
purifying water consumed by soldiers
as "toy bombs," which threw off
poison fumes upon exploding.
In Kores, where Fords cost ST.
C12.50, former members of the A. E.
F. have banded themselves together
under the leadership of M. L. Swine
heart, treasurer of the Southern Pres
Eyterian mission of the Hermit King
dom, and formed g post of the Ameri-
can Legion. About dozen ex-fght-
ers, most of them missionaries, make
up the post membership.
Former Navy radio operators and
members of the army signal corps
have organized under the auspices of
the American Legion in Nebraska and
are broadcasting market reports,
weather forecasts and weekly musi-

legion of wireless telephone users.
The aid of Mayor Curley of Boston,

fore an Yank ex-service man, "strand-

could be brought back to his Boston
home. The Legion paid the bills the
man had incurred and the officials
unwound the necessary red tape.
The superstition that all army top
sergeants are "hard boiled" took wing
when an investigator unearthed one
ex-top kick in Chicago who is spend

To Women of Williamsburg County

Please allow me to call your atten-
tion to the fact that the various DEM
ocratic clubs are to meet on the fourth
Saturday OF this month for re-crgan-
ization ard to elect delegates to the
county conventions, which will be held
on the following Monday, May 1st.
Since the average voter comes into
direct contact with the management
of her party only at the club meet
ings, it is urged that every woman
who has attained her majority, or who
will become twenty-one years Of age
before the general election in Nov
ember, attend the meeting which will
be held in her precinct on April 29th.
Of course, it is taken for granted
that each club in electirg delegates
to the courty convention will pro-
vide fo" a fair representation Of wom-
en-, but, since time immemorial, it
has been the custom to select men
only, this provision may Oe overlook
ed unless women are present as a
reminder that they, also, are citizens.
Then, tao, the delegation: chosen
the county convention to the state
convention should be composed of
both men and women; and woman,
as well as a man, should be celected
to represent the county Oh the STATE
Democratic Executive Committee.
The Democratic party now requires
that the National Executive Commit
tee shall comprise two members, a
man and a woman, from each state,
Mrs. Julian B. Salley, of Aiken, be-
ing our representative.
In conclusion, let ne say tiiat the
nineteenth amendment givss the vote
alike to the woman who wanted it
and the woman who thought she did
not want it. Neither has the right
to neglect it. 1t now becomes just
as much the duty of every woman
in South Carolina to use her ballot
for the public welfsre as it has for
generations, been the duty cf our
raen to employ the franchise for the
best interests of the statc-Shall we
prove less mindful and worthy Of the
trust than they?

Chairman South Carolina League of
Women Voters.

time, among them being the chicken
tick very serious nest in the south
west, the Australian tomato weevil,
which is not known to occur anywhere
else in America, the chrysanthemum

on these new pests with a view of

WILL BE LOCATED ON MEMPHIS
MARION HIGHWAY.

Grafton Expected to Crystal
ize at Meeting Cotton Men.

~ Memphis-A million dollar compress,
concrete warehouses, large yards and
q small city on the Memphis Marion
highway, in Crittenden county, Ark
ansas, are the probable results of an
organization meeting of the Arkansas
Cotton Compress corporation, to be
held in the office of the Grenada Com
press company, in the Falls building,
according to authoritative information
just obtained. Ground for the pro-
posed plant, which will be, the peer in
point of size, of any in the south, was
bought some time ago and recorded in
the name of Joseph Newburger.
The organization meeting is the Gull
mination of a movement that has been
on foot for six months, which prom
ises to be far-reaching in its effects
ON the production and marketing Of
cotton in the tri-state territory. The
meeting was attended by wealthy cot
ton men, all of whose names were not
divulged and resulted in the applica
ton for charter for the huge enter
prise, according to plans laid
The compress will be constructed
on the Memphis7Marion concrete road,
at what is known as Thompsons gin,
Immediately adjoining the cutoff
railroad which connects the Missouri
Pacific and Frisco railroads, distance
NJ about five miles from Memphis.
1t will be of 100,00O-bale capacity,
according to plans laid by the organ
izers 1t will be of concrete and brick
construction, with a modern sprinkler
fire system added to other modern
fire protection and the insurance rate
is calculated to be extremely low.
The huge compress will go up on
the 40-acre tract purchased recently
by Joseph Newburger, prominent
Memphis cotton man. The tract is sit
uated in the corner formed by the con-
crete road and the railroad. The deed
to the land was filed in the county
court clerks office, Marion, Ark, sew
eral weeks ago, in which the price
was revealed as s$S,600, said to repre-
sent one OF the highest prices paid for
Eastern Arkansas cutover land in re-
cent years.
1t is understood that Mr.. Newburg-
er will be largely interested in the
new enterprise and that r. L. Taylor,
whose ability as manager Of COM
presses is generally known, will be the
manager of the magnificent new en-
terprise.
The site for the proposed compress
is within 20 minutes of Front street
by truck The Arkansas Cotton com
press corporation will build a town
around the huge compress, which of
, itself will occupy the entire 40 acres.
gehis new town would be only one
fourth mile from West Memphis, about
a mile from Hulburt and less than five
miles from Marion.
Such a location, and the influence
lent by such a huge commercial enter
prise, gives rise to the speculation Of
a large town occupying this territory
within few years.
