Do wc anticipate your answer aright when we say that few, if any. of us have even so much as one neighbor, What a lonely lifo we live after all, a life without neighbors. DeaconB lleld said.

Many of us profess to bo christians, hut how tnanv of us nally aro, or nt least to the degree where wc he'd the command of thc Creator and "love our neighbor as wo love ourself?" No. many of UH arc too busy and leo wrapped up in ourselves to love our neighbor in tho way wc arc com manded. Many of us aro too busy und absorbed In our own little affairs to bc christians. We have no time for neighbors and no time for christian ity, lt ls said of Henry W. Grady, Geor gia i imperishable son, who among orators was what tho nightingale is among birds, that he gave up a splen did newspaper position in New York and moved back to Georgia because no ono living in thc same block could tell him thc name of tho little girl who had just died In the apar.meut above thc one which he occupied for but a short while. Grady knew ; he rc wa;; a little girl sick in thc apart ment abovo; he Baw tho doctor como and go and finally cease his visita; he saw tho undertaker's black wagon back up tb tho curb and receive tho long cradle-shaped basket brought from the upartment above with the little girl's body in it. Ho made in-j, quiries, almost f-antic inquiries, of all . tho people HvL . in the block and not ono of thom ! could tell him who tile little girl was. That was too much , for the great, ? warm, tender, loving! heart of Grady; and he moved back . to his f .rm in Georgia, back to thc ' bosom cf tho earth, where he could Blt on thc porch of an early morn or ? la thc twilight glow and hail by his I or her given-name overy soul passing to and fro along the winding road, ('rudy waa not too busy nor too ab sorbed In himself to love his neigh bor as ho loved himself; ho took limo to bc a christian.

Yesterday wc necked tn ours the following card: Gaffney, 8. C., Aug. 13, 1915. Dear alis: I am ?lad you aro going after Spar tanburg a little. You have always had thr. boat town in the tate, bu/, your II. K. connections have been poor. Go after them every chance you get they feel too good. Yours very truly, On? sentence only ot the corres pondent's card meeta with our un qualified and'unanimous endorsement, , and thal! ls the second one with ref erence to this being the best town In the State but the railroad connec tions poor. Now as for the author of tit? card exulting over our "going after Spsr tanburg a little," we are at a loss to understand what the gentleman means. We plead "not gutty." and, furthermore, We have no Intention ot j "going after" oar esteemed sister city.

We have always regarded it as the Strong hold of u broad-minded, intelligent, cultured and thoroughly delightful people. In short, we regard iSpar- : tnnburg as the "Athens of South Car- ! olinu," her splendid educational insti- J tutlons, powerful churches, her mag-. nlflclent music festivals, distinguish-{ ed men and women, and her delightful society entitling her, in our humble opinion, to that distinction. No, brother, wo arc not out gun ning for Spartanburg. In fact, wc are not using thc hammer on anything Just for tho Bake of "knocking," and, to bo perfectly honcBt, we haven't thc remotest excuse for taking a fling at our esteemed BlBter city. ALI J AGAINST CARRANZA. The most convincing proof that Gen. Carranza has not made good is the fact thM the other Latin-Ameri can nations want to side-track him In establishing a stable government In Mexico. The Latin republics have all . bsd their periods of turbulence, and- might bo called good Judges of revolutions. They know how to site up n revolutionary leader. And with out apparent exception the Central and South American countries re pudiate Carranza. No Judgment the United States might render could be so damning as that fact. Carranza still taiko big, rebukes our government for meddling with Mexican affairs at a time of Intoler able provocation, and expels the rep resen ta ti ves of La.in-American gov-' ornments. Secure In his egotism, he defies thc western hemisphere. Uncle Sam, at least, has stood about all thc denying he's going to. The tj'me has come for action. Tint ac! lon will bo taken with the coopera tion ot the Latin republics so far as possible, and without them if they re fuse to help when thc final test comes. Carranza demands that tho revolu tion bo allowed to "follow its natural course." Carranza himself has di verted lt from its natural course, and turned a successful revolt into com petitive slaughter and pillage ait the hands of rival leaders void of patriot ism. Outside aid Ls needed to give the Mexican people the logical frultB of their revolution, and it's up to Undo Sam to provide that aid In spite of tho lir?-eatlng 'Vlrst Chief of tho Constitutionalists." BUSINESS MEN PHYSICALLY FIT. The physique of the American busi ness man has been slandered, If (the evidence of the New York military training camp ts any criterion. We have been told often in recent years th?', nnr bush? ess men were deterio rating phystcaly that they were be coming fat and puffy or ruining to the opposito extreme of indigestion and nerves. Tho middle-aged Ameri can particularly has, been set down os decadent. Now, of 1007 business and profes sional men who presented themselves] at the New York volunteer camp, only one fallied to pass th ) medical exami nation, and 900 wera pronounced flt to pass the severe tests required by the regular army. To appreciate what this means, lt mus: be remembered that the civilians examined ranged from 23 to 63 years, and that their average ago was 8",, which is tba years more than the av erage for the regular army. Though "old" as military age ls reckoned, they slsed up as well ss the average Amer ican in hie twenties. Which seems to show that there are still brawny and healthy innards back or American business and profession al life, and that few of our cRixens wealthy enough to "Ive softly" are yet enervated hy luxury. . - . :'/':-.'i?

A LINE o' DOPE Ai last lt seems that general rains have fallen. The city experienced one of the hardest rains yesterday afternoon it lias had la several weeks. Although several heavy showers fell in different sections of the country several days ago, aome places did not receive enough to do the crops vt ry much good. Heavy clouds were seen in nil directions yesterday afternoon and last night. Rains also fell in the city last night and at 9 o'clock lt was also raining in Spartnburg. The rains yesterday afternoon inter fered with some of the work in the street paving on West Market street and not as much of the street will bo open to traffic this morning ns had been the intention of the officials. However, the street is opon for traffic from Powers street on west. Hon. J. L.

The so-called "country} Wonders of Today. Moro than was ever dreamed of in the magic and mystery of the past the American people are living through the reel the wondera of today. Evey twenty-four hours, yes? every twelve hours, in fact, ever hour reveals a starling arrayo ot new Inventions that ar esimply astounding In their scope and possibilities. Thc ripe fruitage pf years of study, Investigation and re search is being garnered in the patent omeo at Washington, and the Patent Office Gazette has contained in one month as many as three thousand in ventions.

When properly stored and insured, cotton is considered by many to be one of the very best collaterals that can be offered upon which to loan money. Money loaned on cotton stor ed in such warehouses should com mand a very low rate of interest. One of the primary reasons that farmers and business men have for storing cot ton, is to enable them to borrow money upon it until market conditions Improve. The correct designing of a cotton warehouse ls of much Importance be cause upon the construction of the warehouse depends the rate of insur ance charged for the cotton inside it. The average insurance rate, it is said, in the buildings now In usc is as high as $2 a -year on $100. In standard warehouses, properly protected by automatic sprinkler equipment, this rate could be reduced to 25 on $100. It ts a curious fact, that many of tho warehouses now in use cost moro to build than if they had been mado to conform to tho standards. t?mate expression on the aces of the players was eliminated, and tried his invention, known as the "close-up", for the firBt time. He'brought the players close enough to the camera to reveal to the audience Just what is passing in the minds of the actors, whose face, head, or shoulders or such parts pf the body as required wore shown to obtain thia effect. Young Griffith had his first picture completed and also a second before the general director returned to the studio. When tho finished product of the Griffith pictures wero shown, he threw un his hands before hts eyes, as if to hide some hideous nightmare from his vision.

Being the First With an Aerial Section Is Now One of the Most Poorly Equipped of the Great World Power?. New York, Aug. 13.-Mr. Emerson McMlllln, tho prominent Wall street banker, and a life member of the Aero club of America, who recently contrib uted $1,000 to the National Aeroplane fund, has offered sr.0,000 to VncreaBO the fund of $500,000 in the next BIX months. In a letter to Mr. Alan R. Haw ley, president of the Aero club of America, Mr. McMlllln emphasises the necessity of training aviators and Inducing them to use the most effi cient aeroplanes and motors available, having the motors equipped with muf flers and self-starters. These de vices are available, but aviators do not use ?.hem, principally because the additional weight of the mufflers and self-starters decrease the speed of the aeroplane 'by between, two and three per cent. Mr. McMlllln, however, points out that the question of silent or noisy movement in warfare ls a question of success or failure, there fore he urges that this matter be giv en 'thorough consideration in the Im mediate future. Our navy, which boasted three years ago of being the first navy in the world to have an aviation sec tion, has, at this time, throe years later, but five aeroplanes in commis sion and five more ordered. The half dozen aviators in the navy who hold aviator? certificates have had no op portunity td* gain experience ia recon noitering have never maneuvered with a fleet and do not know what ships and submarines look like from the air. i The United States army has a few more aeroplanes than the navy-but ?half a dosen. But lt also hos very limited resources. The very aero drome used as an aviation centre ut San Diego ls private property, which I is allowed use through the generos ity of Mr. John D. tSpreoklea. I The army aviators have never had [practice in operating with troops; our army has no aerial observers; has never practiced firing with aviators os "spotters;" tho bulk of officers aud the rank and file never had an op portunity of familiarizing themselves with the aeroplanes. Neither the At lantic nor Pacific coast defense has aeroplanes; their big guns hare no aerial eyes. The Philippine Islands, Cte Hawaiian islands and the Pana ma canal have no aerial protection. SMALL OWLS AND PA BROTS Graut Park Zoo Has Some of ?ha Smallest Birds of These Kinds.' Atlanta, Aug 13.-The Grant Park soo has some of the smallest owls and parr?te in the world, tiny beau tifully colored birds which could perch on the little finger of a lady's band.

A natural history expert sayS that he can only remote ly estimate the dignity and omnis cient poise of these tiny own. but with all their dignity the. little sprites are comical in a manner too, because big and pompous manners never alt well on a little object, whether human or animal or bird.
