Speaking of several requests for an
opinion on the different angles of the
government undertaking to stabilize
crops and prices and so on the Cal
houn Times concludes with this para
graph.
sTo avoid any misunderstanding 1t
may be said that the government
should let it alone. 1t is bad enough
in war but worse in peace. The only
right way to fight this panic is to go
to work. cut down expenses and get
honest again"
You have got that just right, doc
tor. Keep on preaching that gospel
and after awhile may be the people
will be able to see. Always when the
panic comes is the time when so many
of US go to looking to organizations
and to legislation for relief. II times
were to get better at once then we
would forget all about that organlza-
ton and the legislation we were cla-
moring for. Good hard work and the
good old time honesty and every man
attending to his own business and
permitting others to do likewise is
mighty fine prescription, and the
thing is to get the people to take the
medicine. We all need good dose
and then we need to quit this ever
lasting whining and complaining and
expecting some one to come and nelp
ms. Work is a fine panacea for
great many ills.

new house of worship was erected,
l think, in 1866 or '67.
In after years the membership had
died out and moved away and the
church was moved to Jalapa. The
graveyard marks the spot where the
old church stood. Loving friends and
relatives meet there every year to
clean off the graveyard as a token
of love and esteem for those that
sleep there, after which they enjoy a
delightful picnic down in Happy Hol-
low at the spring of the old church.
l attended the Happy Hollow picnic
last year. 1t was pleasant indeed to
be there and enjoy the hash and pic
mic dinner served by the good pepole
of that community.
The great drawback to that COM
munity is bad roads. l think they

reference to improved roads. Mr..
Editor, keep writing for better roads
which are the foundation of a better
system of schools.

Appalling Conditions in Armenia

EXTRACTS of letter from Thomas
Mills, of New York City, dated
Erivan, February 20th.)
1.-TWO days travelling about and OBJ
serving generally the conditions of
the refugees in the city of Erivan,
Armenia, has been more than sufi-
cient to convince field man, long ia
miliar with relief work, that it is not
disease which is killing off the inhabi-
tants of Ervan-it is plain hunger,
starvation and exposure.
"Outside one of the Near East Re-
lief's soup kitchens saw shlvaring
in the cold and snow hundreds of
starving children who cr:ed 5;tterl.'
from hunger and exposure. They
kept coming in from everywhere all
day, presenting a heart-rendirg pic
ture in their scanty rags and shoeless
feet. The impending end 10 r'any CT
their short lives was plainly written
in their CLASSY and staring eyes.
Gall possible relief is given to
those applying at the Near East re-
lief soup kitchen, and a bowl oe soup
or boiled grits is given out to each
child until the kettles are empty.
Dreadful as it may seem, it is abso-
lutely necessary to turn away many
unfed owing to lack of supplies.
"The numbers of orphans keeps in
creasing to such an extent that the
Near East relief cannot hope to pro-
perly care for all and many are dy-
ing every day in Erivan. Fifteen vic
TINS of starvation were removed
from the central district of the city
yesterday"

AMERICAS AND THE WORLDS
DEBT TO WOODROW WILSON

DR.. Stephen S. Wise, Free Syna-
gogue, New York City.
gogue, New York City, in The Uni
versalist Leader.
Though history will do justice to
Woodrow Wilson, it is we'll that We
deal with him now while we may keep
alive his memorable spirit. America
breeds different types of greatness
It is enormously important for our
selves, and above all for our YOUTH
rightly to appraise our great. We
can not afford to neglect our great
any more than we can afford to can
onize our least. To praise Wilson IS
not to disparage Roosevelt any more
than to disparage Lincoln. The Am
erican Pantheon is wide and spa
cious and it's occupants are compara-
lively few.
1t may not be fair to say of Wilson
that he bore heavier burdens, world
burdens, than did Lincoln, for none
could be heavier than were Llncolns,
and he bore them alone as Wilson did.
This may be said of Lincoln and Will
son alike: Each was equal to the great
occasion that summoned; each WORTH
ly represented America in time OF
crisis at Americas highest. Lincoln
true to the heart of America, was,
and, had he lived, would have remain
ed magnanimous to the erring sons OF
tn enation. Wilson was and willed
to be no less magnanimous to the err
ing and rebellious nations of earth.
The easier thing would have been to
phate about retribution and VEN
geance. And for time the nation
would have yielded to the lure of the
lower call. Instead of that, this IA
ther of his country called upon Am

WAVE OF HARD TIMES FORCES
SKIMPlNG AT WHITE HOUSE
Mrs. Harding Must Dip lrto Presi-
dents Own Purse to Meet
Expenses
By Webster K. Nolan

Washington, April 1.-Housekeep-
ers throughout the land will be glad
to learn, on the theory that misery
loves company, that the wave of hard
times has forced even the White
House to ramble through the year on
only s323,4SO.
All householders find it somewhat
difficult these days to make both ENDS
meet. The servant problem is stlE
pressing one, and oddly enough, the
grocer. the butcher and the baker re-
ouire to be paid. In many instances
servants have been dispensed with
and economy instituted in more ways
than one.
A great deal more than the sum al
lowed is expended in the upkeep Of
the White House, most of it coming
from the presidents private purse.
These, however, are not office expen-
ditures and, though often necessary,
have to be borne by the chief execu-
tive. For instance, H. R. 1881, an
act making appropriations for the ex-
ecutive and for sundry Independent
executive bureaus, travelling expens-
es, and official entertainment expens-
es, to be expended in his discretion
and accounted for on his certificate
solely"
Travelling Expenses Deducted
Out of this sum, then, must come
the expenses of the presidents tours,
such as his contemplated visit to the
Pacific coast and Alaska, another to
Florida, another to Marion, Ohio, and
so on, all being planned for the COM
ing months. Out of this also must be

LIBERTY HILL CHURCH
MUST BE IN NEWBERRY

Editor of The Herald and News:
note in your editorial letters you
are discussing the site of old Liberty
Hill Lutheran church. AS far back
as I can remember l went with my
mother to that church when l was on
" child. My mother was raised IN
that community. The old church was
located on the Newberry side OF the
old e6 road about miles west OF
the Young Brick house near the cross
ing of the Ninety-Six and Newberry
and Laurens roads. The Ninety Six
road was cut out during the Revolu-
tionary war by Gen. Green who was
making a forced march from Ninety
Six. When he crossed the Enoree
river near where the town OF Whit
mire is now located, he rested his ar
army. From that point Emily
Geiger made her perilous horse back
ride to the low country with mes
sage from General Green to General
Sumter.
When Newberry and Laurens coun-
ties were made the old Ninety-Slx
road was made the line between the
two counties from Saluda hlver to
Enoree river.
Old Liberty Hill church was locat-
ed in Newoerry county, its location
being on the Newberry side OF the
road. was born and raised about
four miles east of the old churcn.
attended that church from my child
hood until the church was moved
away. Some of the sweetest memo
ries and associations of my life clus-
ter around that old church. My hrs1
wife was a member of that church
BEFORE we were married the recollec-
lions of the many horse back rides to
and fro we had together are sweet TO
me. Her pastor, Rev. J. D. Shlrey'
performed the ceremony that maze
rs man and wife. In after years she
ioined the Baptist church and was
faithful and loyal to her church un-
til her Lord called her to come UP
higher and be with Him.

liam Berley, preach al Liberty Hill

I think the last pastor of the OLD
church was Rev Bedenbaugh who sue
ceeded Rev. ]. D. Shirey.
The principal families that COM
nosed the membership of Liberty Hill
church were the Risers, Berleys, and
Houseals, who emigrated from the
Dutch Fork in the long ago.
After the Civil war old church

paid the expense of such elaborate
entertainments as the diplomatic, ju-
dicial, congressional and cabinet dim
ners and receptions.
The presidents salary is $4,000 a
wear. How much of that remains in
tact after the chief executive winds
up an expensive year is moot ques-
ton. In striking contrast to the
presidents salary, and contained IN
the same bill, is an item bestowing
$4,000 a year to the vice president.
For ordinary care, repair and re-
furnishing of the executive mansion
to be expended by contract and 9TH
erwise, as the president may deter
mine, is allotted the sum of $4,000.
Fuel for the mansion and green
houses is placed at $4,000. Care
and maintenance of the greenhouses
will eat up S9,000-a sum in excess
by several thousands of the average
American middle-class income
vile repair to the greenhouses will re-
ouire $4,000. Reconstruction OF one
greenhouse will be made at the cost
of $4,000.
Greenhouses Are Large
Greenhouses in the White House
grounds are not modest ivy-colored
summer house, with a few pots and
plants hither and yon, but rather pre-
tentious horticultural palaces which
add greatly to the tastiness OF the
mansion and set it off with more or
less artistic grace.
An iron fence must soon Re built IN
the mansion grounds between the
mansion and the south lawn area,
construction of which is to cost
$4,000. For the Improvement ana
maintenance of the grounds general
" $4,000 will be appropriated. For
lighting the executive mansion
grounds and greenhouses, including
all necessary expenses of installa-
ton. maintenance and repair, the bill
calls for the appropriation of So,6OO.
In the matter of contingent ex-
nonsos If the executive office, includ-
ing stationery, record books, tele-
grams, books for library, furniture
and carpets for offices, automobiles,
expenses of garages, including labor
special services and miscellaneous
items, to be expended in the dlscre-
ton of the president, the sum of $780,
600 has been found necessary.
Printing Costs $4,000
The single item of printing and
binding calls for $4,000.
The Office of the president may call
upon any other executive branch OF
the government from time to time
for assistance in the way OF en-
ployees. This helps to make the jog
bit smoother along executive row.
For salaries in the presidents Office
an appropriation of $4,000 is called
fora sum in excess Of the presl-
dents salary.
The salaries rate in this wise: Sec
retary to the president, $500; exc
cutive clerk, $4,000; chief clerk, s4,-
600: appointment clerk, $4,000; rec
ord clerk, $4,000; expert stenograph-
ers-one, $4,000; one, $4,000; ac-
counting and disbursing clerk, ST.
5oO;; two correspondents (not news
paper) at $4,000 each; clerks, two at
$4,000 each; four at $4,000 each;
seven of class four, two of class
three. four of class two and three OF
class one; messenger-three at S9oo
each, three at $s4 each, and three
la5orers at S72 each.

es that may be incurred by the wife

RIGGS CHAIRMAN VIC JROW
WILSON FOUNDATION

, Clemson College. April 15-Presi-
dent W. NJ. Riggs of Clemson college,
who has been appointed chairman of
the educational section of the Wood
row Wilson Foundation for South
Carolina, is making an appeal through
the newspapers to the public schools
to assist in raising South Carolina's
quota of $4,000 to the Woodrow
Wilson foundation. This appeal
should be particularly strong to the
school boys and girls of this state,
DR.. Riggs thinks, because Mr.. Wilson
spent part of his school days in
Suoth Carolina.
! For the information of those who
may not already know, DR.. Riggs
calls attention to the purpose of the
Woodrow Wilson Foundation to raise
S1,000,000 as permanent fund,
from the income of which awards will
be made to individuals and groups
who have rendered distinguished SER
vice "to democracy, public welfare,
liberal thought, or peace through JUS
tice."
State Superintendent of Education
J. E. Swearingen, in writing to DR..
Riggs, says that public school teach
ers and pupils can very properly take
an active interest in the campaign
for the foundation; and DR.. Riggs
that he will make Saturday. For some
time strong effort emanatlng from
South Carolina has been under way
to bring about his candidacy for the
office of governor. Some days ago
Mr.. Lever informed The States cor
respondent that he would have an
announcement bearing on that mat
| ter for publication April Is.

Carolinians in Washington that Mr..
| Lever will not make the race.
