He believed in maintaining in

hut he believed no less firmly in
the perpetuity Of the union Of
the States. The union. having
been contracted. couldd not be
dissolved except by consent Of
all parties to the contract. He
recognized the conflicting view
points. differing policies and
controverted questions. But
there were constitutional meth
ods OF settlement. ard these
must be employed.
LincoIn's First Inaugural.
In the first inaugural address
he stressed the great general
principle that in our constitu-
tional controversies we divide
into majorities and minorities.
II the minority will not acQui-
esce. the majority must. or the
government must cease. There
Is no other alternative. for con-
tinuing the government is ac-
Quiescence on one side or the
other. II the minority in such
case will seceoe rather than ac-
quiesce. they make a precedent
which in turn will divide and
ruin them. Plainly the
central idea Of secession is the
essence of anarchy. A majority
held in restraint. by constitu-
tional checks and limitations.
and always changing easily with
deliberate chg nEes of popular
opinion and sentiments is the
only true sovereign Of a free
people. Whoever rejects il does.

The Presidents address at tn
of the Lincoln Memoria
vas as follows:
1t is supreme satisfaction
Officially to accept on behalf OF
the government this superb
monument to the savior of the
republic. No official duty could
be more welcome. no official
function more pleasing. This
memorial cdifiCe is noble
tribute, gratefully bestowed, and
in its Offering is the reverent
heart of America. in its dedica-
ton is the consciousness of rev.
erence and gratitude beautifully
expressed.
Somehow my emotions incline
me to speak simply as a rever-
ent and grateful American
rather than one in official re-
sponsibility ! am thus inclined
because the true measure OF

tury has passed since his colos-
In every moment of peril. in
every hour Of discouragement.
whenever the clouds gather,
there is the image of Lincoln
to rivet our hopes and to renew
our faith. WI lenever there is
glow Of triumph over national
achievement there comes the
reminder that but for LincolI's
heroic and unalterable faith in
the union. these triumphs could
not have been.
All PortrnyaIs Diner.
No great character in all his
tory has been more eulogized.
no rugged figure more monu-
mental. no likeness more por-
trayed. Painters and sculptors
portray as they see, and no two
see precisely alike. So, too, is
there varied emphasis in the
portraiture q fwords, but all are
agreed about the rugged great
ness and the surprising tender
ness and unfailinE wisdom OF
this master martyr.
History is concerned with
the things accomplished. Riog-
raphy deals with the methods
and the individuals attributes
which led to accomplishm .nt.
The supreme chapter in his
tory Ia not emancipation.
though that achievement would
have exalted Lincoln through
out all the ages. The simple
truth is that Lincoln. recogniz-
ing an established order. would
have compromised with the
slavery that existed. IL he could
have halted its extension. Hat
ing human slavery as he did,
he doubtless believed in its ulti-
mate abolition through the de-
velopinC conscience Of the
American people. but he would
have heen the last man In the
republic to resort to arms to
effect its abolition.
Union the Great End.
Emancipation was a means to
the great end-maintained union

great purpose. here the tow
ering hope. here the supreme
faith. He treasured the inheri-
tance handed down by the
founding fathers. the ark Of the
covenant wrought through their
heroic sacrifices. and builded in
their inspired genius. The union
must be preserved. II was tho

CHECK ON PRICES
PURPOSE OF COAL
PARLEY TODAY
Strike Settlement Held as
Unlikely Before First
Of July.
OPERATORS
Secretary Hoover Plans Vol
untary Agreement to
Hold Market.

Officials are making no move at
this time to bring about an end to
the coal strike. it was explained
yesterday. and expect no decisive
turn in events that may lead to a
settlement of the controversy be-
foGt the middle of June, or the first
of July.
This declaration was made in au-
thoritative quarters when reports
were received Of misconception of
the purposes Of today's conference
between Secretary Of Commerce
Hoover and 1.5oO bituminous coal
operators called here to consider
the coal price agreement submitted
by Secretary Hoover ten days ago
at a conference with forty non
union operators.
shortage Not Yet Felt.
TOday's conference will not con-
Germ itself with a settlement Of the
strike. il was explained. and Of
fiCials are convinced that at least
another month must pass before
any serious shortage in coal will
lie felt. Until that time comes. il
is declared. il will be futile for the
government to attempt to inter
vene in the controversy and moth
ing but an unexpected surrender on
Cne side or the other would end
the strike.
The meeting today will consider
means of maintaining a fair mine
price of such non-uniOn coal as
may be produced while the strike
lasts. and means Of preventing a
rNr sarNT~ IL
tion or an increasing demand for
such fuel as may be available.
Such program as has been pro-
posed. as a result of the preliminary
conference called by Secretary
Hoover. can only he made effective
through voluntary agreement on
the part of the producers. II they
refuse. or II any considerable num-
her nf them prove recalcitrant, the
whole proposition will collapse.
Price Jump Checked.
Secretary Hoover. who is engi-
neering the program of self re.
straint." is hopeful Of favorable
action this week: more hopeful. it
is said. than he was at the end Of
the first conference. He has been
informed that already mine prices
which had begun to soar in GER
tain producing sections. had come
down materially. some of them as
much as 81 a ton. If this proves
to he true. he is inclined to the
conviction that an effective agree
ment may he reached
If voluntary arrangement is
perfected which will re-establish
the old Garfield mine prices. or
which will provide for any other
mine price control upon which the
government will look with APP
provsI. it is indicated that Secre-
tary Hoover may invite the whole
salers and retailers to meet with
him for similar arrangement in
the open market.

Methodist Missionary Meeting.

Not many days had rolled by after
Father Time marked the passage Of
the old year and there had been ush-
cred in the year 1922 when quite
number of Methodist women went to
the home of Mrs. C. R. Brabham, Jr.,
who, assisted by Mrs. Mary Cleckley
and Mrs. Clarence Moye, entertained
our missionary society
The January meeting has come to
be looked forward to year in and year
out as an important meeting. 1t is
at this first meeting Of the new year
that we make our free-will offering
pledges and grid ourselves for our
task. Earnest effort is put forth to
make the gathering at once happy and
fruitful. This time, Mrs. E. o.
Kirsch, who has loved and known
different phases of the missionary
work as perhaps few women here
aDouts have, was leader.
Our new, attentive, capable and
consecrated president, Mrs. Otis
Guess, called on Miss Bessie Lee
Black to offer prayer. This was a
prayer for our Lords divine guidance
and blessings right here in our midst
and for the same guidance and bless
ing to fall upon far away Africa and
our workers there.
A short, original new years mes
sage was read by our young president,
who we can but feel has assumed this
Office as one should take up great
added responsibility.
The reports were called for. The
superintendent of social services re-
port includes an expenditure of S75
the past quarter for local charity. The
treasurer read a report that filled
our hearts with Joy. 1t was the best
we have any record of in the history
of our society. The amount of
$500.22 was sent to the conference
treasurer over and above expendi-
lures in Bamberg. The superintend-
ent of parsonage aid reported an ex-
penditure and balance in the treas
,ury. A-report on Junior work was
made by Mrs. Laurie Smoak who is
ably assisted by Mrs. n. P. Smoak

workers have increased by choosing
a number of our young matrons to
lead meetings and to take part OR
programmes.
Some unusually good extracts on
the contents of the Gospel of Mark
were read by Mesdames Moye, Hen
derson, A. Kirsch, Padgett and Miss
Black. A vocal trio was sung by
Mesdames Folk, Smoak and Hender-
son accompanied by Mrs. Moye on the
piano. Mrs. Joe Stokes gave some
facts relative to our sainted and be-
loved missionary bishop, DR.. ]. w.

WHALE CUT IN TWAIN.
Hit by Presidente Wilson, an Italian
Liner.

New York, Jan. 18.-The story of
a seventy-fve-foot whale, which was
neatly cleaved in twain by the PROV
of the Italian liner Presidente Wilson,
was related by passengers when the
vessel docked here today.
The Presidente Wilson was sail
ing in mid-Atlantic when the whale
was sighted lying directly across
the course of the vessel. A hundred
and fifty passengers lined the rails
to see what would happen.
Passengers along the port rail
heard a crash as the bow struck the
huge mammal, saw the water turn
pink, and saw the head of the whale
float astern.
