What a Contrast

Among the citizens of Newberry
as we'll as elsewhere in the state and
nation there is, from time to time,
feasting at banquets and big dinners
after lavish expenditure of money,
Notwithstanding the cry of hard
times. Those who partake Of the food
are no more in need of it than was
Balshazzar and his friends at the. ban
quet wh .ch fcretold destruction. Still
with ti1e cry of hard times upon their
lips the people of favored America
spend money freely upon other in
dulgences which crafty for the mo-
nent. You who have all you want and
to spare read the following from ia
mine stricken land:
$50 many are already dying that
they are burying them in wagon
loads. They take off the clothes of
the dead, throw them into boxes, put
snow on the bodies to freeze them,
then transport them in piles to the
cemetery. There, twice week, they
are thrown into great holes, cross
wise, packed closely. Dogs have be-
come menace and attack piles of
bodies in droves and dig into graves.
Dead children, starved to death, are
left outside in open ways in piles,
covered with rags until they can be
hauled away"
Look at the two pictures. "Is it
nothing to you, all We that pass by?"
Even the crumbs which fall from the
banquet tables would be God-sen
to the starving ones. Those who are
already dead from starvation and ex-
posure, and cleft outside in open ways
in piles, covered with rags until they
can be hauled away" are beyond the
reach of the money wasted in riotous
living. They can not feel the at
tacks Of the dogs gnawing their ema-
ciated bodies; but what of those who
are at this very moment dying of
hunger and want? "On with the ban
quet, let waste be unconfned," if you
will, but let's stop crying hard times,
and while we are feasting in pleasure
and luxury, let US also not refuse help
for those unfortunate ones who, un-
less aid reaches them, will soon have
their dead bodies stripped of their
scant clothing, thrown into piles and
transported to the cemetery, there to
be thrown into great holes, cross
wise, packed closely"
You know nothing at all of hard
times.

CHILDREN OF NEAR EAST
CRYING FOR HELP

Columbia, March 15.-There is
many a South Carolina boy back in
his home now who would be sleeping
under wooden cross in France Dat
for the heroism of the 100000 Ar.rc,
nian troops who gave up their lives
in defense Of the vast Baku oil felGs,
Congressman Will D. Upsh2w, the
"Billy Sunday of Congress, re;ently
stated.
Experts agree that Germany's fail
ure to capture this huge oil field
shortened the war by many mnoths, ?"
Mr.. Upshaw declared. "Who knows
how many Of our boys would have
been left had that vast maelstrom of
killing continued even a day longer,
when 10000 men were giving uo tneir
lives every "a hours?
''The children Of these heroes who
made it possible for South Carolina
boys to return are asking crumos
from your tables-just enough food
to take away the singing pangs OF
hunger. Are we going to let them
starve? We would not be true AM
ericans if we did.
Hardly much bigger than South
Carolina, Armenia sent into the war
100000 troops, and most of them rev
er came back. Their women and chill
dren were left-at least such women
as the Turks did not outrage and
butcher

REPORTERS GRIEVE
TO LOSE LANDS
Group Covering Federal Building in
Chicago Send Note Wishing
Good Luck"

Chicago, March 12.-Newspaper
men are supposed to stand by and
smile at happenings and people in a
cynical manner. according to the pop
ular belief. The men assigned by the
Chicago newspapers to cover the fed
eral building "beat," however, were a
little bit different in the case of the
retirement Of Kenesaw N. Lands
from the federal ,ench.
On the famous jurist's last day in
court the federal building reporters
presented him with the following tes-
timonial hand lettered around his Pho
tograph on a large plaque:
Judge Lands:
"For newspaper men the federal
building will not be the same after
you have gone. You will take the lie
of the joint away with you.
''The good opinion of newspaper
reporters is seldom sought, perhaps,
but few men can say, as you can, that
their departure made the press room
blue.
"We've known you for long
time, Not. just because there is
copy in your fortnight way Of do
ing things, but because we think you
are an honest-to-God man and a
Judge with the right kind of back
bone.
"Good luck"
1t was signed by each of the re-
porters.

Unlike the 1921 session there was lit
tie evidence Of possible retrogression,
the greater number of measures in
troduced being to enlarge and perfect
existing departments of the state. A
move to abolish the state highway
commission reared its head in the
house for short time, but the bill to
carry out this plan was pigeonholed
in the committee room and was never
debated on the floor of either house.
A series of similar measures, aimed
at the highway department, was thor
oughly considered by the senate,
however, and Overwhelmingly defeat
ed by that body. Senator Wightman's s
bills to abolish the tax commission
and the board of public welfare were
also killed.

Sincerely,
Mrs. j. NJ. Deaton.

Such letters as these help us to
walk by faith. And then when we
steap in the school rooms or cottages,
look in the faces of the children, and
hear their simple prayers, so much
like child asking their earthly ia
ther, expecting to receive what they
ask. we feel the rebuke of our Lord
as He said. to His disciples, "Oh ye
of little faith"
Now, friends, what would you DO
or say if you were in the superintend-
ent's place with 521 applications,
some of whom are very sad cases, and
some of our best friends and not able
to help us as they have been doing!
Will you step in their places and help
US to help some of these needy cases?
We are trying to do our best for
every child in our care, and we would
ike to help others whom we know to
be in need. One pastor writes that
one of his members has two little
girls he has to leave with negro
while he works to feed them as they
have no mother. Is it any wonder that
so many of our motherless girls go
astray, when they are left for vulgar
negroes to train?
Your contribution is your com.
mand.

THE ORPHANS NEED
YOUR ASSISTANCE

While we have not been writing
very much for the papers this winter,
We have seer busy about the Economy
home these snowy, rainy and sleety
day3. The children are in school,
and they have to eat three times ev-
cry day, ard have some clothes 10
keep them from suffering with cold.
As many of our friends know, the
pecple in the boil weevil section are
not able to contribute very much now.
More than 5000 people have contri-
buted to the Economy home within
the first three years. Today thou5-
ands of these are not in position to
help us. This works hardship on
the home.
In order to take care of this de-
fciency, the trustees have selected a
number of good people whom they
believe will help the home, and the
superintendent has been busy this
bad weather getting out letters.
One day we received eight applica-
tions which proves to us that this
home is a necessity, While times are
hard we must have necessities, so we
set to work with renewed energy. The
next day we received check for $50
from an old friend of the superintend-
ent wo lives in. Virginia. The next
day we received 500 check from
Texas.
A pastor writes: "The little girl
has no one but crippled grandfath-
ed to care for her, and he is willing
for you to place her in good home
if it becomes necessary" We were
forced to place little girl the other
day, and will have to place others IN
private homes, unless we get more
help soon.
