Old Men For War Young for Counsel Tki" ,SI”P. War*—Mr. James Wlio t Writes on the Sub ject of Patriotism./^ ' (By James C. Elliott.) I was fortunate in being brought up in the most patriotic age our coun try has known. We had two distinct brands, Southern and Northern pa triotism. A patriotism of self-deter mination, and a patriotism of deter mination to hold, for commercial pur poses. These brought a sectional war. When I was 18 years old, I entered the school of a new Confederacy to l*arn the manly art of war and was rnshed rapidly through all the paces, and graduated at the age of 20. While I am proud of the wisdom gained, I hav enot realized much financial in fr°™ my military education. The soldiers mission is tn kill and de stroy. Pillage and slaughter is an ex c*t(njr game that young men are taught to play, directed by the old Sinners who keep in the background, put^of danger. The old Pagan max im ‘Old men for counsel and young rten for war”, has kept humanity hell-bound through the ages: Let us chr.n*»e it: “Young ir"" f'« Counsel and old men for war.” That would bring world peace. Let all the' old fools kill out each other, and give the young men a chance to live 40 or 50 years before being slaughtered in War. This is so simple I don’t see why some one has not thought of it before now. When God’s chosen peo ple started for the Holy land He had them to tarry in the wilderness, 40 years until the old sinners died out. The men of today .passing as Chris tian statesmen are the real worship pers of mammon, corrupting tlm youth of the land innocence is know i •ply in childhood. If youth goes Wrong it follows in the footsteps o the older ones, in pride, envy, covet ousness, dishonesty and hatred. One try-out would convince old reprobates that war don’t pay the fighters. The greatest character in history fulfill ed His mission as a young man, whose wisdom the ages cannot dim, add to or detract for peace on earth and good will to all men. No wonder human progress ha been slow since the flower of youth ii destroyed in war and the. weakling.; left to raise from. No wonder the old saying “We grow wiser (in rascality) and weaker (in pure manhood).” Christ elevated man to sonship of Gdd< placing man above the brutality of, war upon his fellows. Any inter ference with the equal rights of oth ers make war at heme or abroad. A" in the case of small boys counseled and directed to break eggs on politi cal speakers and to stone Mormon El deys out of town—teaching them in tolerance that will hang political op ponents and burn religious heritics. making them fit subjects of an invis ible empire to destroy law and or der, lapsing back to barbarism and anarchy. Dr. Osier said, “chloroform the old sinners.” That would stop their evil influence and give fair ntinded ■ young men a chance to bet ter conditions. When David wa young and pure-hearted he gained hie great victory over the Philistines. “CYCLONE MACK” CLOSES HIS CAMPAIGN AT MONROE Rev B. F. McLendon closed his four week’s campaign in \|onroe Monday night with a sermon to an audience half white and half colored. Each Monday night has been eiven to the negroes, and Monday night, although it was the last, was no exception. Sunday he preached five times and Monday several times. He has preach ed all over the county at odd hours while carrying on his meeting there. The last service was perhaps the largest attended of any. Every seat Was taken, every aisle filled, and the •Ides of the tent were lifted for standing room. The total collection for expenses was about $5,000, and the free will offering to the evange list, taken on the last day ran around $3,000 Mr. McLendon left for his home at Bennettsville, S. C. BENATOR COPELAND GETS SOUVENIR OF BATTLEGROUND Kings Mountain Herald. Mr. Winf-eld Styers sent Senator Royal S. Copeland of New York a goblet which he turned from a piece of wood cut near the Battleground.
