PURIM-LEST WE FORGET

"Why don't you tell us some
thing new, instead of always
harping on the old ideas of
Purim," Jewish publicist was
once asked by a reader who felt
that refreshing the memory even
once a year was too much of
strain. To which the publicist
replied: "Mordecai and Esther
would be willing to change their
tune if Haman changed his"
Some such thought must come to
the Jew at Purim-tide this year.
Haman's tune is still unchanged,
the only thing new is his identity.
Perhaps last years Hannah is not
the same. He who figured so
largely in the Jewish press is
hardly ever referred to now. He
has either recognized that his
plan is futile, or has relegated his
activities to other Jew. baiters.
But the tactics are the same,
whether it is the plutocratic
would-be remodeller of the world,
or the press-magnate with poll
tical grudges to settle. There is
no pretense at fairness in bat
ting the Jew. In this regard all
JeW-baiters, ancient and modern,
are true to form. Without mis-
representation, without distort-
ing the truth, without destroying
character and Staying regulations
the enemy of the Jew would not
be in his element. From Amalek,
traditional ancestor
down to his most recent spiritual
descendent, the Jew-baiter fights
like coward. Well does the Jew

Mr.. Lloyd George must, in
deed, be gifted with a sense of
humor. He, of course, had to be
officially represented at the Lon
don services in memory of the
late Pope. So, as he could not
attend himself, he delegated a
Jew, Sir Philip Sassoon, to repre-
sent him, Protestant, at Cath
Ole service.-Hebrew Standard.

repeat on the Sabbath before
Purim Remember what Amalek
did to thee unto thee how
he met thee by the way and smote
the hindmost Of thee, all that
were enfeebled in thy rear, when
thou vast faint and weary; and
he feared not God" (Deuteron-
omy 25:17, 49,. So why expect
the modern enemy of the Jew to
be respector of person, age or
sex; scrupulous as to his method
or possessed of the finer sensi-
bilities that would make him a
foeman worthy of ones steel?
But this sameness in the ma
ture and methods of the Humans
need not discourage the Jew. If
his foe is still the same, so is his
Protector. 1t has often been
claimed that the book of Esther
is non-religious book since it
does not even once mention the
name of God. True. There may be
no direct allusion to God, but
there are several indirect refer
ences. Mordecai tells Esther: eff
thou altogether holdest thy peace
at this time, then will relief and
deliverance arise to the Jews
from another place." Even more
convincing is the retort of
Esther: 60 gather together all
the Jews that are present in Shu-
shan, and fast We for me.
also will fast in like man
ner." If this does not refer to
the belief of Mordecai and Esther
in a God who can save and who
is impressed by fasting and pray
er, then what does it mean? That
the Jew is living to take stock of
his present-day adversaries and
to recall those who had threat
ened him and whom he has sur
vived, is best proof not only of
his dependence on God, but of
his deliverance by God.
Yes, our foes will not let us for
get about Haman. We must re-
member him and his breed wheth-
er we will or not. All the more
eager then should we be to re-
member the kind Providence that
has kept us and preserved even
unto this day.

One hundred Jewish Orphans
are to be taken from the Tx
raine to Palestine to be brought
up as farmers by Israel Belkin, a
Palestinian Pioneer. who has
founded an agricultural school
near Jaffa. This news item we
commend to the attention of
those who think that Zionism and
War Relief need be hostile to
each other. On the contrary, they
must cooperate fully and whole
heartedly. Give War Relief to the
maximum and save the sufferers,
especially the children, for some
thing better. But build up Pales-
tine SO that Jews can go there and
living in security develop a Gull
ture that will be worthy of the
Jew. But Keren Hayesod and
Jewish War Relief should be CO.
operative rather than competi-
tive.

Or. Clarence Poe.

That announcement by DR.. j. B.
Johnson, President of the South Caro-
lima Cotton Association to the effect
that DR.. Clarence Poe will be in Rock
Hill and Yorkville next Friday ought
to prove Of especial and particular in
terest to every reader Of The York
vile Enquirer who is able to be at
either of the places named on the day
mentioned .-
All that DR.. Johnson says OF DR.. Poe
is true and great deal more. He is
one of the best informed men in the
United States on all that pertains to
the highest interest Of agriculture, and
he is able to tell what he knows in
way that can be. understood by every
body.
DR.. Poe has spent his whole life
from early manhood seeking to ad-
vance the best interests Of the South
ern farmer, and though not yet an old
man has accomplished much in that
direction. Indeed there is no telling
how much of the progress the. south
has made should be marked up to his
credit; but all we'll informed people
who are fairly well acquainted with
conditions now as compared with
twenty-five years ago are willing to
concede that DR.. Poe has been one OF
the most important single factors they
can name in connection with the
marked Improvement. ..s
That the people will turn omt to hear
DR.. Poe we sincerely hope. To do so
will be worth the while of any man or
any woman. On our own responsioili-
ty we promise that everybody VINO
comes will feel well repaid. we
promise that there will not be sug-
getsion of demagogic bunk, and the
address will be clear, forcible ana
within the easy comprehension OF
everybody present.

travel was about 250 miles, l guess.
We got to Columbia Thursday after
noon and did not leave there until Fri
day after dinner"
Mr.. Crawford said that he made the
entire tip without mishap, not even
puncture, and the roads were fairly
good ali the way except for soft
stretches ir the swamps, and washouts
by recent rains down in Georgia The
toughest travelling we he'd was in FAIR
field county between the Rchand
county Inc and Winnsboro, where the
red clay had been cut into deep ruts,
making progress slow and difficult.
The winter tourists are leaving
Florida by the thousand, said Mr..
Crawford, most of them travelling IN
cars They seem to come from all
parts Of the United States and Canada.
With most Of them their route IS up 10
Columbia, where they branch OH 10
Camden and strike up through Ra.elgh
and Richmond; but others come by
Anderson, Greenville and Spartanburg
over the National highway to Char
lotte.
Mr.. Crawford said that many of the
Florida towns are complaining OF dull
business; but things have been lively
enough at st. Petersburg.

prominent family of the town. Carr
was arrested the morning after the
shooting by a deputy sheriff. Carr, it
is said, admitted the shooting. 1t
seems that a boat belonging to Mr..

reports that he was accused OF it and
ii is declared that he admitted the
charge but did not like to be accused
of it. Several other pieces Of Patrick's
property suffered fire damages and on
Saturday night, February 25, while he
was on his way home out on "Wire

was wounded in the abdomen and in
the hand. He was brought to Char

The following from the Greenville
News of last Friday will be of interest
here since Rev. Marion Stokes is a
son Of Rev. j. L. Stokes, d. D., de-
ceased, who was one time pastor Of

After IA years in the mission fields of
Korea and seven years absence from

boys: Lemacks, aged 13, Carlisle, aged
IL; Marion Boyd, Jr., aged 9, and
Charles Davis, age z, all having been
born in Korea with the exception OF
the youngest, who claims American
citizenship by birth. Though the
| family had intended reaching Green

was FASTENED by the news that Mr.
Stokes's father Rev. j. l.. Stokes, was
ILL., Taking the first boat sailing fol-
America, they were caught in mid

QueruloHs. critics have that WASH
.ington preacher who left the name of
Jesus Christ out of his peace confer
ence prayer badly worried; but as we
see 1t neither the preacher nor his
critics have touched the main point.
The preacher if he profess to pc a
Christian, has no business offering any
kind Of a prayer, anywhere, except in
the name of Jesus Christ-not unless
he wants to start the cocks to crow
ing. But Christ has nothing to do with
any kind Of conference that seeks to
bind the conferees to bloodshedl under
any conditions, and that was certainly
no place to name the name of Christ.
AS to praying to God by a man who
knows. of Christ, without naming
Christ-that is unthinkable.

IT. c. Sturkie, attorney for Jesse
Gappins, one Of the BrazZell. murder
trio, has completed the appeal to the
supreme court for Gappins and the
papers in the case have been filed with
the clerk of the court. The appeal Will
be heard on the call of the Eleventh
circuit, which will be some time in
May. So far the Gappins appeal ls
the only one of the three to reach the
supreme court and it is very probable
that the alleged appeals of c. o. Fox
and S. j. Kirby will be dismissed by
the supreme court as soon as Solicl-
tor Callison makes the proper motion
for the dismissal, as attorneys for
both OF these men have never COM
pleted their appeals. so far as is
known, and the time has long since
elapsed. The notice of appeal to the
full supreme court from the refusal of
Justice Cothran TO grant Il stay of eX-
cCution in the Fox case IS all that has
been received by the court and this
will, in all probability, it is thought,
result in the throwing out of this case
Ir his appeal GappinS bases his entire
plea on the grounds that no official
record is available showing that the
grand jury which indicted him was
sworn. On these grounds. Gappins
says that the court was without Juris-
diction and that he was deprived Of
his life and liberty without due pro-
cess OF law as provided for by Article
), Section l, Of the United States con-
stitution.
