Indianapolis. April ll,-EX service men of the country were asked to go | back to their home town and get q | job in an appeal which Hanford Mae Nider national commander Of the | American Legion, today asked the As | socated Press to broadcast 10 the ioh- | less veterans who he said are eongre. gating in the larger cities. where the unemployment situation is becoming | worse, The Legion's efforts 10 ind employment for the 70n,on joboss | oX-scrvice men, begun three weeks ago, is gaining in effectiveness. Mir. l MacNider said.
 | But the stffest problem with
 which the Legion has 10 deal from
 the inception of this effort" Mir. Mac
 Nider continued, has been thc noater or tourist class of unemployed In
 order to benefit the worthy the first principle of our effort has been for every community to take care of it's
 own. It cannot emphasize too strong ly that the first obligation of a com
 munity is to the men who claim that
 community as their home.
 Critics Driftcr.
 "The drifter who has not thought enough Of any community to become identified with it and assume his fair share of the obligations Of citizenship and community responsibilities has no reason to believe that community to be under any obligation to him now. There Is congestion in the great cities. Here unemployment is at its
 worst. He is a poor man indeed who in his own home town has not d job waiting for him. if he will but put himself in the way of getting it. The Legions advice is:
 Go Back Home.
 Get back home. Get back among your own comrades. Get back among the people who have watched you grow from boyhood to manhood and who naturally feel the greatest grati- tude toward you for your service in the war. Back with the home folks lies your chance of honest profitable employment among friends. Among strangers you cannot expect to be treated other than as a stranger. Other things being equal, the boy from home will always be preferred and the stranger will be passed by"

MARRIAGE VOWS OF
 EQUALITY DESIRED
Episcopal Church Prayer Book Com- missioner Recommends Wedding
 Ritual Changes.

New York, April 11.-Women in the United States are m nearly all re- spects the equals of men and there fore the promises and vows of the man and woman at marriage should be reciprocal.
 Such is the substance of a state ment made today by George Zabris- kie, member of the commission on re- vision of the book of common prayer of the Episcopal church, in explana- tion of some of the changes the com mission will recommend to the gen eral convention of the church in Portland, Ore, next September.
 Tn reviewing the marriage serv- ice the commission,' he said, "con- sidered that the status of woman has greatly changed since the service was incorporated in the prayer book in 17S9, and has changed far more since the compilation of the mediaeval rite of the 18th and 18th centuries from which it was derived"
 The common law at that time re- garded the personality of q married woman as merged for most purposes in the personality of her husband, q legal conception which recognized by the church, persisted through the ref ormation, MT. Zabriskie added.
 He declared that the duty of obedience now has been abrogated and that women enjoyed, both in law and through social convention, priv ileges and immunites which were even denied to men.
 And so the commission, he said, had decided it was necessary that the ob- solete part of the marriage service the promise of the woman to obey life.

Cork, April II (By Associated Press )-The city corporation today decided by a vote of l s to 13, to grant Henry Ford theg site of his tractor factory here in fee simple.
 When the corporation recently issued a threat of eviction, Mr Ford sent cable message to the effect that, unless he.was granted the lands in fee simple he would move the factory elsewhere.
 A Cork dispatch early in March said all construction work and in stallation of equipment at the Ford factory had been discontinued in consequence of the Cork corporation's s action in calling on the company to comply with the alleged conditions of it's lease. One of these conditions was said to provide that the firm em- ploy a minimum of two thousand men for five years. It was charged that fewer than this number were being employed,

full farmer, states that it is useless
and practically waste of time to
talk about any material reduction in
the rate of taxation in South Carroll
ma for great many years to come,
unless the people are willing to aban-
don good roads, the maintenance of
Court Houses and good Government,
common and high schools, and repu-
diate the bonded and current obliga-
tions of school districts, counties and
the State. With the experience of
Richard Roe in view, permit me to de-
ducc for the benefit of your readers,
the following conclusions, to wit:
l. Let every man in South Caro-
lima stick to his present vocation,
through hard times and through good
times. There are periods of adver-
sity and periods of prosperity in
every vocation. Professional men
enjoy the blessings Of many years Of
poverty at some time during their
career and all is not gold that glitters.
1t comes with a mighty bad grace
for the farmer to squcal and cry out
against the Government, when the
pinch of poverty comes after years
of good prices, when there are hund-
reds Of lawyers, doctors, preachers,
and newspaper publishers, who day
by day keep saving wood when there
is no money in bank and credit is at
the lowest cbb.
2. Maintain the State Tax Com
mission, even if it be necessary to re-
duce the membership by making the
Comptroller General and the State
Treasurer members thereof, without
additional salaries, since there is no
method devised by man of ridding
himself of taxation, unless it be by
abandoning the blessings and privi-
leges of civilization, but every sane
citizen should demand equal assess
ments and equal taxation throughout

thought no one would question, a re-
mark which we may call it's sequel
follows:
Catholicism and Heathenism must
be supplanted by the truesrcligion of
our Lord Jesus Christ"
During the years that I have lived
in this section of the State I have
found only a kindly spirit which made
me hope we were as one. To me the
honest protestant and the sincere Jew
are as worthy of my respect as fer
vent Catholic, for my religion teaches
me that we should love one another.
Catholicism and Heathenism will
not harmonize no matter how much
the Missionary author may attempt.
They are opposite in every sense of
the word. In proof of this statement
| but refer you to honest pages of his
tory.
l hope the report of tho Missionary
meeting was the fault of the author
and not the spirit of the Society.
No Society can accomplish much, be
it civil or religious, if any principal
be wrong. The basis of religion is
Charity and it is none other than our
Heavenly Father who says, "There
are three virtues, Faith, Hope and
Charity but the greatest of these is
Charity"
There is no excuse, among intel
ligent people for an insult. Christian
people should respect the religious
opinion of others for only an honest
man can be governed by his con-
science.

the State of South Carolina.

the State of South Carolina.
3. Maintain the State Highway
Commission or some similar institu-
ton, since no township or County can
live unto itself, and in order to main
tain good roads throughout the State
of South Carolina, it is absolutely es-
sential that the power to coordinate
road building effort be lodged with
the sovereign State. The interests Of
all the citizens of South Carolina are
identical, and the individual is rot
merely a citizen of his particular
County, but he is also and at the same
time, a citizen of the State.
4. Abolish all one and two-pupil
common schools in South Carolina,
commence a crusade for the combina-
tion of the small common schools,
with more teachers to the pupil, with
better and more comfortable school
buildings, at an immense saving in
the matter of taxation to the people
of South Carolina. There are num-
erous small common schools in South
Carolina, maintained for the personal
convenience Of not more than half
dozen pupils, at an immense expense
to the State and Counties, and to the
great and humiliating detriment of
the education of the children of the
State.
5. Abolish the Railroad Commits
sion of South Carolina, the Board of
Cancellation, the Public Service Com
mission, and in lieu of these institu-
tions, establish an Industrial Court,
with equal and additional jurisdiction
to the aforesaid Commissions, after
the manner of the State of Kansas,
in order that the laboring man might
have some institution, under the
sovereign power of the State, to
which he might appeal, without the
necessity of having to go on strike,
and in order also, that the fear of
strikes may be taken out of the con-
sideration of the capitalist, who will
feel free to invest his money in the
public utilities of the State, thereby
ushering in new era of industrial
peace and prosperity to the great
State of South Carolina.
6. Amend the laws of South Caro-
lima, in order that the farmer might
have a preferred lien to the amount
of supplies which he has advanced
during the year to his farm hands;
amend the laws so that the livery
stable and live stock man might have
a preferred lien for the amount of
the feed which he has supplied to the
live stock which has been put with
him for safe keeping; amend the

CONTRIBUTED

Manning Times,
In your issue of last week I read
the report of The Woman's Mission
airy Society Of the Methodist Church
of Manning, and was sorry to note
the following regrettable expressions
which seemed unjust and prejudiccd:
"The United States gave Cuba her
political freedom and now the Church
must give her religious freedom.
Catholicism and Hcathcnism must be
supplantcd by the true religion of
our Lord Jesus Christ"
fleets so untruly and unjustly upon
the United States that the American
ism Of any loyal citizen can but be
our Fathers fought and bled for
liberty, real and true? Not only do
we enjoy political and religious free
dom but liberty in its broadest sense.
Cuba as our possession enjoyed this
freedom and it is but traitorous to
the noblest principles Of our national
honor to accuse America of giving
Cuba political freedom, deprived Of
religious freedom.
TO adore God as our conscience die
tates is the fibre of Amcricanism and
to say that America gives to any pro-
cession a liberty deprived of this is
treason.
The United States did no such thing
and the author of such an unloyal
statement could be brought before the
court Of justice.
After the shocking attack on
America, which the author must have

author of Missionary notes and trust
he or she may see the error of these
statements which l hope are not the
outcome of prejudice.
Your meetings are reported to be
very pleasant and interesting and 1
Know l would appreciate an invitation
to attend sometime and there, face to
face, learn how, the Church, your
Church | presume, is to accomplish
so much for religious freedom. You
might perhaps, permit me to tell
some of the truths and beauties of the
Catholic Church, misunderstood no
doubt by you, and can but feel our
meeting would be Just as pleasant as
your afternoon in Cuba.

Editor of The Mann ing Times:
We hear great deal at this time
about the high rate of taxation, the
deplorable condition of the farmer,
and the burden of Government. In
this connection, it might be interest
experience Of Richard Roe, a promin-
ent farmer Of Summcrton, who states
that about thirty years ago, he and
John Doe, q mutual friend Of Summer
ton, both attained their majority, and
each inherited a farm of several
hundred acres of land. Richard Roe
informed the writer that during these
thirty years or more, he has remain
cd on his farm, adding little here
and there, has lived well and worked
hard when cotton was selling at five
cents per pound and also when cotton
was selling at forty cents per pound,
has nothing to regret, is worth at
least one hundred thousand dollars,
has done nothing all Of his life, ex-
cept farm, expects to farm the bal
ancc of his life, boil weevil or no boil
weevil, and claims that the secret Of
success is the ability to stick at one
vocation, through thick and thin. On
the other hand, Johnc Doe, studied
dentistry, has the habit of practicing
dentistry for a few years at a time,
and then abandoning dentistry and
farming for Il year or more, the re-
suit being that John Doe has succeed
ed neither at dentistry or farming,
has lost his land, and is today prac-
tically insolvent.

bile man might have a preferred
lien for the repairs which he has made
on the machine which has been put
with him by some insolvcnt or encum-
bercd automobile owner; and finally,

on the roll. The largest number OF
names in any one year was IN lgOZ,

may be better understood II one
thinks that il is only 554 less than
A million. In 1866, one year after
the close of the Civil War, there
were 1922 pensioners.
Losses to the pensions roll are
caused chiefly by death, but there
are also other causes, such as re-
marriage of widows, minors attain
ing the age Of l6 years, failure to
claim for three years, and the Ike.
Gains are made chiefly by original
allowances, but also, in some cases,
by the restoration Of forfeited PEN
sions. Since 1910 the loss Of Civil
War soldiers has averaged about
10000 year. Last June there
were 21s,775 Of them, as against
243,520 the preceding year, while
the largest number Of them on the
roll was reached in 1898, with a
