FOR REPRESENTATIVE. The announcement of Major W. C. Redman for Representative from Beaufort County appears in today's f: NewsMajor Rodman is a member of one L. of Beaufort County's most prominent families, and the family has always been leaders in politics. The major entered the political arena several years ago when he was elected county chairman, which position he held until his successor was elected this L year. While always active Iq politics he has never been a candidate for public office. He has a large concourse of friends throughout the County and State, who will no doubt wish him success I, in the campaign. He expresses his views on the fence question, a division of the ' county, also on a new court house. In addition to the above he expresses himself as being in favor of local self-government. This will probably be the last announcement for the coming primaries as the time in which notice can be filed expires tonight. SHOULD UNITE. It is the Bupretne duty of every man to take a firm stand for righteousness. Differences in political and | religious views should by no means cause a division among men when it comes to the principles of right living [' In the school of politics man highest aim should be to contribute to those over whom he exerts an Influence the very best that is in his possession; having uppermost in his mind a determination to uplift them and place them upon a higher plane of citizenship. In the church, without regard to the denomination, it should be the . prayer of all christians that their hearts be inclined to keep the first and second great commandments, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God | with all thy heart, and with all thy mi! and with alt thv mind Thou sh&lt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." (Matt. 22: 38. 39 ver.) A sincere effort on the part of all church com^Hr munlcants, whether they be Method| lsts. Baptists. Congregationalism, I Lutherans. PresbyterianH or any other denomination, to abide by this Injunction would enable us to wield a mighty power over the sins that so easily beset us. The masses would rise In a solid phalanx above the gloomy shades of ignorance and sup erstition to a higher plane of Christ^ Ian civilization. Differ as they may aldng many other lines, or along all| other lines, the churches and vari-' otis organizations concerned about the betterment of mankind must get K* together upon these commandments, If their existance is to mean the material and eternal salvation of man. For "On these two hang all the law and the prophets.'' The people in every community must unite. Especially the leading element who are engaged in shaping the destiny of the masses. The states' ment that a house divided against it self cannot stand is as true today, and as applicable to the human race K as whon spoken by Him who died to redeem a sin cursed world. .This is not a question of individual supremacy, unless it in the K sense that one is supreme when he is best able to render service unaelfishfe1 ly. Nor is it a question of personal a- greatness. It is a question of eleK vatlng the lives of our people. If ? there be any such a thing as greafness, it comes not to hi:n who boasts 1 and feels that he should be looked upon as the greatest Among his fel([' lows, or does something merely for w the loaves and fishes given him. but greatness comes in proportion to one's goodness and the consecration B Of his whole being to a righteous | H cause In spite of his pay. I We are facing a grave problem. upon its solution rests the fate ft of our people. The future of our M boys and girls Is at stake. This Is a Klnatter to be considered not only by Bfcthe parents in the community, but ^B>*lipon the co-operation of the preachR ?r, the teacher, and the leader. Each I HgtJJting a firm stand for a higher Hptfcadard of character. Its solution K'* depends not upop talk but actual rhe Playgrounds * WASHING! k . *\V ' ' eliminate the dan from automobile. ifvice. The ftrafttiMr, teacher or sader who fail* In this particular a wholly unfit for the responsibilities of his position, and should be relegated to the rear. , PINKTOWN We are having some fine weathei at present.
