good juvenile court Judge willtry
to learn allhe can concerning vol.

The work of the juvenile court
judges are doing is not less i'm.

scope, than that of the circuit
judges, which latter is necessa-

POLITICS

Politics is q common noun
very common. 1t is now com.
mon gender. It is either singu.
lar or plural, depending upon
whether one refers to South Car.
olina or the United States. 1t is

Noah the first water commission,

full Of violence" It's habitat and
distribution is co.extensive with
with the continents and zones,
and 1t flourishes under all clima-
tic conditions and under all signs
Of the Zodiac. It belongs to the
life everlasting genus, yet it
blooms only once every two
years. November is the month
of harvest, although unlike other
crops, "thrashing time" comes
first. In Surry county the grow
ing season Is now on with each
day bringing to light some new
bud" Politics'is to a politician
what cold clear water is to a
brook trout, what clover is to a
stall.starved COW, what an order
of hamand eggs is to a fat drum.
wer, what "intrust" is to a ban.
ker, what q news scoop is to a
newspaper, and what gas is to a
famished Ford. But in spite Of
it's universitality, it always fur.

always command interest. Not
withstanding its age and Its var.
led history, however, there, has
never been q candidate for a po'
htical affice who was not showed
into the political race by his ma
ny friends A political cam
paign is now on and will continue
togrow and develop until after
the election in November, at thai
time plans will be launched fol

scope, purpose and achievements
of the Christian religion and Of
the Presbyterian church is the
extension Of the kingdom of God
throughout the world may be
better understood and rendered
more impelling."
In recent years ministers and
church boards have begun to see
the value of publicity in the
form of news articles and paid
advertising in newspapers and
periodicals. But the possibilities
Of publicity have not been realiz-
ed to anything like the degree
that they could and should be. A
newspaper contains news sto-
ries and advertisements. Anews-
paper exists because people are
interested in what happens.
Without newspapers the only
means the people would have
of learning news would be con-
versation, 9 slower, less accu-
rate and much less comprehen-
sive means than the printed COL
umn. A church that does big
things will be talked about. Why
not tell these achievements in
the newspaper SO that more peo'
pie will know about them?
An advertisement IL snsws
story about the particular ser.
vice or commodity that ! bust,
ness establishment has to sell. II
| is designed to bring in profit to
the advertiser, so he pays for
the space used. Now If q church
has some definite service it wish
es to sell the people why not ad-
yertise its 1t costs money to op-
crate q church plant. Perhaps
more than q million dollars is In
vested in church property In this
city. 1t is q business PROPOSE
tion to increse the eAiciency OF
this property. To acquaint peo-
pie Of the service that the church
offers would certainly iustify the
necessary expense. = Winston ~

In a column article in the
Searchlight Cyclone Mack tells
why he joined the Baptist church.
According to his statement the
Methodist conference dropped
him ten years ago without expla-
nation, after he had done two
years of fine work as supply pas
tor. His original application to
join the Methodist conference
he now sees was the biggest
mistake any man ever made since
the foundation of the world was
establishd. When the Methodists
dropped him an old Baptist pas.
tor took him up and allowed him
to conduct meetings in his place
of worship. Since then nineteer

notorious during the last years under
the administration Of Mr.. Lemke and
H. B. Dunbar. However, it was not
possible for me to fully appreciate
the riotously extravagant and waste
full manner in which the funds of this
department had been expended until
I came in personal contact with the
office. ... ...sc... A.. -.
"When 1 reached Bismarck Attor-
ney General Johnson had already or
dered an audit to be made Of this de-
partment, and on December 18th a
report of this audit was made to us,
in which it was disclosed\ that during
the preceding eleven months the to-
tai income of the office was $63, 289.40
while during the same time the ex-
penditures were 69,006.41, leaving a
deficit in unpaid bills Of $5,717.01.
ut appeared therefrom that Mr.,
Lemke had employed as many as 60
persons in this department, including
inspectors, Investigators and clerks
of which So were investigators, and
had paid out more than 5000 in
salaries and more than $4,000 in
travelling expenses from January !
to November 23rd, 1921.
"The law under which the depart.
ment operated provides that there
shall be employed one state inspec'
tor, three deputy inspectors and one
stenographer to conduct the business
of such department., and it is appar-
ent that the large army Of investi-
gators employed in plain violation OF
the law, and in utter disregard Of the
intent of the legislators who created
it,"
