CALEXICO CHURCH
TO SHOW FILM AT
EVENING SERVICE

"The Sign of the Rose 1t stands
for love in the greatest drama of the
heart ever seeirin pictures. 1t will be
shown at the Calexico Community
church, Sunday at p. m. "The Sign
Of the Rose'' is one of the strongest
pictures of the season, telling the story
of two fathers who had lost their
daughters, and what they found to soft
en- their hearts. The story has every
thing in it that people like-everything.
sympathy, suspense, the thrills of sur
prise and the thrills of amaZement.
And tender love as well. A dream of
the rich and the poor and how their
ways meet, clash and come together in
n beautiful understanding. The pict-
ure is overwhelmingly filed with pa
thos, humanness, tenderness-high-
lighted with delicious humor, and fine
balance of heart interest.
The Christmas spirit that supplies
material in the early part of the story
and the legend of Santa Claus will
please young and old alike. There are
many tense moments throughout the
picutre and it is doubtful whether the
committee in charge has ever secured
a finer picture for the Community
church, than the "Sign of the Rose>'
1t is a real community production and
everybody should see it Sunday even
ing at the Community church, opposite
the city library.

Uphold the Courts.

Discussing the campaign and the
first primary, the Laurensville Her
aid says:
"While something was said by the
other candidates about law enforce
ment it remained for Mcleod to see
this as the principle plank in his
platform. Mcleod promised, if elect
ed, to be very careful in setting a
side the verdicts of juries while
Blease boosted of his record in which
it is said, he set at liberty something
more than LOO convicts his terms
as governor"
Everywhere in the state Thomas
G. Mcleod emphasized that he
would enforce laws and uphold YER
diets of juries. If the people of
South Carolina want verdicts of ju-
ries set aside by wholesale and the
gates of the prison open for the re-
lease of convicts, they had better
vote against McLeod.-The State.

Fairwell Sermon Heard in
Chester.

Chester, Aug. 29.-The Rev. Rob-
ert G.. Lee, Phi. D., after a remark
able pastorate at the First Baptist
church of this city, extending over a
period of approximately 1S months,
Sunday night preached his farewell
sermon to All overwhelming congre-
CATION. He expects to leave tomor-
row for Greenville, where he will
spend a while, prior to going to New
Orleans, where he will assume the
p]astorate of the First Baptist church
of that city, which is n of the lead
ing pulpits of the Southern Baptist
church. DR. Lee came to Chester
from Edgefield. During his brief
~pastorate in Chester 400 members
have been added to the church roll;
a magnificent Sunday School room is
in the course of erection and the
Sunday School and prayer meeting
has been increased about IS per
cent. From every angle the church
has manifested great growth and ex-
pansion during his ministry in Ches-
ter. In addition to his wonderful
work at the First Baptist Church,
DR.. Lee has identified himself with
various lines in this city, where he
will be greatly missed.
DR.. Lees successor has not been
chosen, but the pulpit committee is
z~ealously laboring to fill his place.

Woman in Politics.

In the democratic primary held
last Tuesday for thr first time in the
history of Spartanburg county a
woman aspired for office--Mrs. Eff
fie Keller masing the race for coun-
ty Superintendent of Education.
While her ace proved unsuccessful,
Mrs. Keller made her presence felt,
and lacked only fourteen votes of
getting int: a second ace with j. B..
Lancaster, incumbent. Mrs. Keller
received 2,OS1 votes to s,O95 for j..
G. Waters, who is in this second
race.
Those who followed the campaign
party state That the woman candidate
made a fine impression. Now chat
the ice is broken it is not unlikely
that Spart2nburg women will be in
the running hencetorti. The conser-
vatism of the average citizen will by
degrees be eliminated, and in the
future we may confidently look for
ward to not only having a goodly
proportion of women candidates for
the various offices, but in time 70
come they may supplant the men in
holding offices. A. ary rate their ac-
tive presence in things political has
served to place the campaign on a
higher plane. The old trough stuff
that the hidebound politicians pulled
on the stump has "bout played out,
and will be %resorted to less and less
in, the future.
The only female candidate for Of
flee in the neighboring county Of
Greenville Jared better than Mrs.
Keller. Mrs. Fannie Scott, candi-
date for reelection as Probate Judge
of that county, defeated three men
in the first primary by a ratio of al
most 2-1.-Spartanburg Herald.

Elliot Culbreath Granted a
New Trial.

Elliot Culbreath, negro, who is
now in the death house at the peni-
Tertiary under sentence of electro
cuticn for the murder of w. w. Ed
wards, a magistrates constable in
Saluda county, was given a new trial
by the supreme court yesterday when
this tribunal handed down 1S opin-
ions.
The court said it was satisfied that
the circumstances of the killing did
not warrent the imposition of the
death sentence and the lower court
verdict was a new trial.
A warrant had been issued for the
arrest of Culbreath, but no n dep
utized to make the arrest, the court
says, but without regard to this or
derby process a posse was formed
and surrounded the negroes home.
Some one in posse called out to the
negro's wife that "the sheriff is
here with a warrant for Culbreath's
arrest" This was untrue, the court
declares, as no one was there depu-
tized to arrest the man. Culhreath
was in bed at the time and when he
heard the remark he left his room
hurriedly, encountering Mr.. Ed
wards as he ran out of the house.
Shooting began and Mr.. Edwards
was killed. Culbreath- escaped to
Georgia, but was arrested several
months later and brought back for
trial in Saluda. He was convicted
and sentenced to die in the electric
chair. An appeal was taken and yes
terday the court revised his convic-
ton.
Culbreath at Home.
All the lawyers at Saluda were
employed to prosecute the negro, the
court says, and N. G. Evans of Edge
field was appointed by the judge to
defend Culbreath.
Culbreath, Justice Cothran points
out, was at home with his family
and was not evading arrest. His al
legged crime was not such as to justi-
fy a band of armed men surrounding
his home would likely make Cui-
breath think something other than
his lawful arrest was contemplated
by the men, the court declares. JUS
tice Cothran says he believes the ne
gro was fleeing from fear of harm at
the hands of the posse rather than
from arrest. Ellis conviction was not
warranted by the evidence" the
court concludes.-The State.

Post Election Reflections.

The election is over, and there
will be considerable irritation in the
heart of many. All could not be e.
lected. Somebody had to be left out.
1t will be hard for the defeated. But
the sooner the heat of battle is for
gotten, the better it will be for all
concerned.
Many people, thoughtful individ-
uals, have learned not to grow ex-
cited over the fortunes of any indi-
vidual candidate. These individuals
will vote as they please, and will ac-
cept the consequences of the ballot
ing in good faith. Most people are
not easily led around by the nose
now as they were formerly. We
think more and talk less, and this is
a good sign. Most of Us have learn
ed that the wheels of government
will continue to turn, no matter who
is, or is not, elected to office. When
bad men are chosen, they run their
course and are finally ousted from
office. When good men IRE chosen
they serve faithfully, and after a
short time, they, too: are forgotten.
We are putting less whoop in poll
tics and more BUSINESS, more judg-
ment. It is well that this is so, as we
see i5-Union Times.

Ford Not Bluffing on Closing
Plant.

Detroit, Aug. 29.-Reiteration
that Henry Ford was not "bluffing"
in his decision to shut down his big
automobile plants here on Septem-
Der 16, as part of a fight against
what he terms a "hold up" on the
coal brokers, and denial of various
reports that causes other than the
fuel shortage were responsible for
his action, were made today at the
Detroit manufacturers offices.
A report from Louisville that
when the $4,000 Ford workers in
the Detroit district were released on
September 16, in an effort TO break
the rail strike, was denied emphat-
ically. The statement was termed ri
diculous. "There may be individual
cases of Ford workers anticipating
the lack of employment making ap-
plication for work with the rail-
roads," it was stated, "but Mr.. Ford
certainly is not going to advise the
men to attempt to break the rail
STRIKE"
Not Lack of Business.
Another report that met emphatic
denial was that lack of business fig
ured in the decision to close the
plants. Figures were cited to refute
it. "When the decision to close the
plants was reached" it was stated,
"we were four weeks behind in or
ders for Ford cars and three weeks
behind in orders for Lincoln cars.
We had only just caught up on or
ders for tractors"
The decision to suspend opera
tions came, it was reiterated, at a
time when the Ford company was
doing the greatest business in its
history. Production figures showed
$500 cars being turned out daily
against orders for $500 a day, it
was pointed out.
A statement from Secretary Hoo
yer that present prices of coal would
add but S1.50 to the price of Ford
cars also came in for sharp criti-
cisms, and the inquiry: "Does Mr..
Hoover think we should turn over
to the profiteers from $4,000 900
to $40, O0O,O 600 that would be repre-
sented in the increased cost of
coal?"
There were no developments dur
ing the day, it was said, to support
the hope that the shut down could be
averted.
