MEDLIN, Our enthusiasm as an "ink slinger" is running rather lowt at this par ticular-time and we hardly know what to tackle to fill up our space this week, or maybe it might be a little more de sirable to some not to have it filled as there are sone people that are not interested in lengthly communications sermons etc. We were told recently a story about a Methodist preacher who had prepared his sermon during the week and on Sunday morning rather hurriedly he "shoved" it in his pocket and when he began preaching he soon discovered that he had about only half the (late he had prepared which cut his sermon short for that (lay. Returning home he asked the good wife if she could tell him what became of the balance of his sermon ? She told him that just a (lay or two ago she saw one of the puppies in the yard playing with a letter and per haps it might have' been the sermon. This became known to the public and it appears ,that there was another minister in town) of another denomina tion who was quite lengthy with his sermons and some of the folks who preferred shorter talks goes to the Methodist preacher's wife to trade for one of the puppies and the price would be no objections if the puppy would continue to take about half the ser Ilions the parson prepared. Possibly if we will shorten our communication The Times will sell at a premium. The Rev. Mr. Thaver. of the First Baptist church, Sumter, and Rev. Ansley of this place exchanged pul pits Sunday and it is said that. Mr. Thayer preached one among the strongest sermons that has ben preached in this town in niny a (lay. No doubt Rev. Ansley gave the Sum ter people something worth while as he usually measures up to a forty five "centermeter." It is very gratifying to report that Rev. T. E. Morris has sulliciently re covered to assume his work againi as pastor of the Methodist coigregation. Mr. Ed Felder of the Silver section died very suddenly Suinday morning. Mr. Felder was teaching the Bible Class at Andrew's Chapel church and Just- about the close of the lesson dis cussion he fell over on his face and was at once picked up aid placed oin a benclih and just about the tine he was straightened out lie said "its all right" and by this time he was dead. The deceased is survived by his wife and eight chiltren, three 'boys id five girls, five brothers and t'wo sis ters and I number of relatives. The funeral services took place Tuesdhay I mornig at Andrew's Chapel church an iteriient at tne Summerton cemetery. His five brothers, W. E., R. L., A. E., J. P., and F. A. Felder and his neplhew T. C. Felder acted as pall bearers. The deceased was sixty one years old, a man of high ideals and a consistent member of Andrew Chapel church, "peace to h is ashes."

SERIOUS CRISIS MAY SOON * FACE LLOYD GEORGE Dispute Between Miners and Govern ment Drifting Into Deeper Water Every Day-Itailway Men May Strike-Important Political De velopmnents Expected to Hang on Triple Alliance Labor Meeting Wednesday. L London, April 4. --The signs tonight pojilt to the (ispute between the coal miners aind the governiment drifting in the direction of the iost serious . industrial crisis in recent years. There I aIre rumors that the government has j decided upon certain military steps, which are likely to still further in- I flame the miners, while further emer- L gency regulations will be issued in ac- . cordaince with orders in council giving i the various governmental departments j almost unlimited powers to take .pos session of mines, lands, buildiigs, works, gas, electric and water sup- j plies, horses, food and forage aid to requisition all kinds of transport, in cluding tramways and light railways, to close ports or harbors, control ship ping and cargoes, fix prices of coal and proh ibit or regulate the sale and I supply of iotor Spirit. Much may dlepend upon the attitude of the government as revealed by the debate in the Hlouse of Commons to morrow and Wedlnesday will be the critical day, eleciding whether the other sections of the triple alliance . the railwaymen and transport work - ers, will strike in support of the miners. Strong for Strike Tl railwaymen strongly f.vor a strike, on the ground that when rail ways are taken out of government cont0rol a similarc i situatiol may arise and unless they support the mi ners now they cain not expect thi miners' support shoulI they need it at that time. Moderate opinion is result ing in fav or of the regulation offered Satu rday by Alfred Higeland, coalition unionist, Chat the so-called decontrol hill should be rescionledl and the time limit for eontrol fixed for May 30, instead of Ma1rch 31, thereby giving time for discussion and arrangement of the wages question and the e(ucation of the miners to the real indlustrial posr tionl at home and abroad. John Robert Clynes aml Arthur Ienlerson, the most independent of the Liberals, intend to press this sig gestion upon the government tomor wA. It is helieved that the governlmelit will refuse to accept, this suggestion and that the premier will base his position upon the simple proposition that it is impossible for the country in the present state of its finances to bear any further burden in the shape of a subsidy to the miners. It is not impossible that. important po litical developments may hang upon the triple decision Wednesday.
