CONVERSION OF AN
 INFIDEL LAWYER
(By Dr. John C. Williams)
Text John 7:4l-t3.

Text: John :41-3
 There was n great diversity of opin- ion reeardmc the nature and person of Christ while He was here upon the earth and many looked upon linn aS only q prophet. while others thought that He would be m earthly monarch and restore again the kingdom to Israel and the Apostles themselves had wrong conceptions of Him. II Is no wonder. then. that there have been so many people in all ages who have mlS- understood Him and that so many have been in open rebellion against Him. But we are told to search and find out and that if we come with honest minds and make thorough m vestigation that WIG will he led into the truth.
 In the years following the close of the Civil War there were two noted lawyers who had gone off into madel- ity and were ready to openly assault the main citadel of the faih, These were Col Robert c, Ingersoll and Gen. Lew Wallace. Each had been in the Federal army and each was ris- ing young politician and men of great weight and influence. Those were the days when many had been Swayed by the supposed discoveries of the scien- lists of the world, as Darwin and HuX- ley, and the theory of evolution was

THE LAST BRIGADE

STOPPING shoulders were straight
ened this morning; dim eyes for an
hour were bright again. The "long
roll'' was sounding through the sill
ence of sirty years; it was time to
sfall in" They answered to the old
names as they took their places
Jackson's Stonewall brigade and
Hoods immortal Texans, Pickett's
men and Stuart's cavalry, the gun
ners of Poague and Breather of Cut
shaw and of Mcintosh. Every corps
of the Army of Northern Virginia
was represented; every army of the
South-Johnston's and Bragg's, Dick
Taylor's and Kirby Smith's-was
mustered; FORESTS cavalry was rea-
dy to spring to saddle at the first
note of the bugle call. Such col
umn it was, gathered from every
command in the South, as might have
marched in grand victorious review
if independence had been won in
1854 and a season of rejoicing had
been decreed in the capital of trl-
umphant nation.
1t was the whole Confederate ar
my to which the city paid homage
the whole army of which Lee had
been given supreme command too
late. Yet it was in numbers only a
brigade. And it was the last brig
ade. The consciousness of that fact
striking the multitude while the
cheer still was on its lips, made ma
ny man turn his face away, and
many a woman weep openly.
The last brigade of the mighty
division at whose tread a continent
shook-do the youth of this land re-

o NEWBERRY'S CLUB WOMEN
BY Mrs. A. A. Woodson
Miss Julia Kibler

Miss Julia Kibler is the daughter
of DIR. J. NJ. Kibler and his wife,
who was Miss Ida Wertz. Miss Kib-
Ter has Revolutionary ancestry on
both sides. Her direct ancestor was
Captain Henry Werts who with his
brother John came to this country
before the Revolutionary war and
were devoted Wings during that
struggle. His son Michael married
Susan, daughter of Col. John Sum-
mer of the Dutch Fork, and his
daughter Mary Magdelene married
Matthias Barre. The former were her
mothers ancestors, the latter were
her fathers, so she has Wertz de-
scent on both sides.
Miss Kibler graduated at Ran
dolph Macon college in Lynchburg,
Virginia, is member of the Luther
an church. and is interested in the
societies of the church. She is a
teacher in the Newberry city schools
and is now president Of the Calvin

We understand that one of the
candidates for congress has beer
making the editor of The Herald and

only advice to him els that he had
better go along and give some reason
for the people to vote for him, in
stead of taking up his time talking
about the editor of this paper. We
are no candidate for congress. But
if he can get any pleasure out of the
job let him go to it. We offered to
be fair to all the candidates and to
give them the columns of the paper

still say that, because we have that

yer aid the women might be able to
ender. She then turned the meet
ng over to Mr.. J. H. Sullivan who
xplained the reason for calling the
meeting, and he also discussed the
.arious state laws which gave aid to
he common schools and said that
here was necessity that something
.e done to keep these schools going,
nd that the matter should be called
the attention \of the legislature,
nd especially should the trustees
nd those who knew the conditions
axe the matter to the lawmaking
,ody, and tell that body either to re-
cal it's laws or make the necessary
provision in the appropriation bill to
AIRY out the law and keep the OBJ
cation of the state with the various
chool districts that have complied
nth the conditions. Superintendent
wilson then took number of con-
rete examples from Laurens county
nd showed just how the law was
working in that county, and how
;nder present conditions it was i'm
possible for the trustees of a num-
yer of state aided schools to avoid
aving deficit except ,oy failing to
,ay the teachers, and that was the
,esult in number of the districts.
If course that is not right, but as
he law is now operated it is impos-
ible to avoid a deficit, it matters
not how you work it, unless the peo-
Die just go down in their pockets
md raise the money. Both Mr.. Sui
ivan and Mr.. Wilson said that there
.ad been no trouble with the men,
oers of the legislature from Laurens,
hat they had not only voted but had
worked for adequate appropriation
20 carry out the law enacted by the
legislature itself. I then talked to
he people along the same lines and
made some suggestions.

EDUCATIONAL RALLY AT LAU-
RENS
RENS.


I had noticed in the papers that
there were calls for educational
meetings or rallies in some of the
counties, at which meetings the trus-
tees and the people generally were
invited to be present, but especially
the trustees so that they might dis
cuss together the financial condi-
tions of the districts, and see what
remedy could be applied to take care
of the deficit. | had been thinking
of the same thing, but l did not want
to have the meeting until state
ment could be submitted showing
just how the districts stood, and
then we would know just how much
deficit we had in the several dis
tricts. One of these meetings was
to oe held in Laurens last Saturday,
and another was advertised for
Greenville the same day. And both
were held. Superintendent Wilson
very kindly gave me an invitation to
meet with his trustees and the good
people of Laurens last Saturday, and
/ readily accepted, not so much with
view of being of any material help
in the matter of discussions, but to
show my interest and to help as best
I might be able, and to get informa-
tion myself. This meeting was held
under the direction of the various
women's clubs of Laurens, and they
gave their influence and their coop
Grafton and Mrs. j. Bennett presid-
ed and gave a hearty welcome to
the meeting. And there was fine at
tendance of trustees and interested
citizens present.

term should be not less than eight
months. Most of the schools III this

months and we should have mini

1t was fine meeting and l be-
ieve will result in good. The people
are lacking in information along the
lines of these various state aided
schools, and when they come to un-
Ierstand the real and true conditions
am persuaded they will demand
that their legislature provide the
necessary funds to give to the chill
dren of the state at least a seven
months school where the districts
comply with the conditions laid down
n the laws of the state. Resolutions
were adopted calling on the legisla-
,ure to provide the money to carry
out it's own acts. Taxes for schools
should not be regarded as any other
tax, but rather as an investment
which will bring the biggest return,
if properly applied, of any money
the people can possibly spend.

Joseph Gallo, who came to the United
States years ago from CEecho- Slovakia,
which wasn't Czecho-Slovakia at all
then, but just Bohemia, has found his
wife. He found her yesterday at the
Bellevue Hospital morgue. She had
died on Tuesday Of heart failure, which
the Bellevue doctors say WAS caused
by fear.
There was really nothing for Anna
Gallo to be afraid of. New York is a
friendly city, II you only know it. The
trouble was that Anna did not know 1t,
and there was no way for her to find
out.
Joseph is sixty-one years old; Anna
was few years younger. When they
came to tke United States they went
away into the West and settled on
some farm lands near Fairfax, S. D..
They worked hard and saved their
money. Anna worked hard, too. Her
figure grew dunpy and her shoulders
bowed, and her hands took on the deep
seams and callouses, which come with
the years to farm women of her type.
But she was happy in q narrow con-
strieted way because they we're saving
their money and some day they would
go back to the little village in Central
Europe, which they had left so many
years ago, and live like rich people,
comfortably in their old age.
Start for Homeland
Their fund reached it's required
proportions with the sale of this years
crops. They sold their farm, too, at
good profit, and booked passage
on the Aquitania. All the way from
South Dakota to New York they came,
speaking little English, and that in a
twisted sort of way quite unintel!igble
to Broadway.
With four big bags they arrived at
Pennsylvania Station on Monday. I'm
habituated to taxi cabs, they found
their way to the subway and took their
four big bags with them.
A guard in a few words of crisp
English demanded to know what they
meant by blocking up the subway plat
