ilKINU l-l KU DADDY.
Du you want your boy to b?* like
you. Mr. Father? Or do you want him'
lc bo an improvement over you?
Probably no nun ?a sincerely sat
isfied willi himself and without doubt
every father wants bis ?on to be an j
Improvement over the parent, if you
feel tliat way about your boy. Mr.
Father, ?re you eternally trying, con
BclcnciouKly und faithfully, to make of
your son a m in thut will be un im
provement over iii? father?
Most boys think their fathers are'
perfect, and they have no higher um-1
bltion tliun to grow to manhood and j
bu Images of their fathers. Wouldn't!
il be "great" if all fathers could al
ways bo live that their little son?
would novor itave oaust- to change
Their estimation of their fathers, and
would grow to manhood, becoming ull
the while, by gradual und unconscious
development, an improvement over
Mu ir daddleu.
^ A boy sal down and wrote ?ince up
[on a time his opinion of his fattier, ami
he would like to grow up to resemble
his daddy. And here are some of the
'reasons why thc boy wunted to ho
like his father:
"Because my mother know that
from the day he tlr:>? met her un
til she died, or for u'l ibo day? In
fifty years, nho was the woman he
loved. I should like the woman I
marry to know tho Hame thing of
mo, ull our lives long.
"Decauso he was gentle. Bo
cauHe he loved all Howers, in cool
woods and In sunny fields and by
dusty roadsides, and brought
them homo, gathered into clumsy
bouquets 'for mother,' If she could
not go herself to soe them In the
places where they held up their
shy faces. Because he loved all
children and let them climb over
hts shoulders and pull bis hair.
"Beeaiuo his eyeu twinkled and
bl? face was Jolly. Because ho
smiled at us children even tn
days when lie was hiding black
despair in his heart.
"Because, although his work
kept him away from home for so
many weeks .atAai. time, ho wrote
Jolly letters every" day to Mother
and us, making jokes out of icy
winds und bids covered with
snow that had drifted in through
. farm house windows and of all
hardships. j
"Because he was deep-chested
and strong, and because his
strength came from work in the
fields in such days- nu he could
find no work ik'lfhi-bwn profes
sion. Because ho thought no work
of his bunda beneath him if it
brought us food aud shelter.
"BucauHo bo talked to farmers
and carpenters and to learned'
men and to diggers of ditches and
lo little girls and boyB and to
presidents alike, and nil loved
him.
'Miocause he wore his over
coats for ten years and his shoes
for two years and called his coat
"ss good as new. with a lllitle fix
ing of tho lining."
"Because he thought no sacri
fico of any Importance If by it
we wera made to love more truly
whatever la good e,nd beautiful
and true in life.
"Because he used to put his
arm around Mother and tease her
until her eyes twinkled and she
said. Go away, Boy!'
"Bocause everybody missed bim
when ho went away Somewhere
Elso-and will always remember
him.
"That si why I should like to

LABOR'S 0PP0UTUM1TT.
American labor today seems moro
fort?nate than ever before in Its his
tory. Never havo our worker's pros
pects looked so good, and certainly
?never havo they been so enviable
when compared with the lot of similar
clssses in other countries.
On Labor Day, tomorrow, it ls Im
possible ncc. to think of Bore. e. where
every abiebodled man ls in the field,
or In a grave, or in a hospital or con
centration camp, and where there is
no sign of a return to their normal
work end their homes- whevs, even
when the war is ended, those who
survive with vigor unimpaired will
have to bear the crushing ?urden of
national war debts.
Even in peaceful countries the
world, except the United States, there
ls Industrial depression and poverty.
We have been blessed with bounti
ful crops, and the war itself baa be
gun to contribute powerfully to our
prosperity. "War orders" started the
boom, snd now even' our purely
domestic industries are reviving,
promising a continuance of good times
If the heavy military buying should
stop. The whole nation ls busy again.
There is plenty of money and plenty
of work.
Labor at laat ls a premium. Tho
workmen have suddenly ..-md , rather
unexpectedly come into their own.
Ordinarily it requires long continued
effort, and sven bitter strikes to make
importan gains, tit rik va recently
I h.i v<- Ki'ldom umouutcd to mucli. Em
ployers cun't afford to have their fac
. torios idle or their forcee disorganiz
ed and rebellious, and HO industrial
disputes have been settled more
quickly und easily than ever before.
Scores of strikes have been nipped In
thc bud by big concessions, and in
'many cases employee have, taken the
Initiative. The eight-hour day is rap
idly becoming the rule. The general
level of wages ls rising. Capital and
labor are getting along together bet
ter than usual, and both are making
money.
Such a profitable partnership meet?
public approvul and augurs well for
the future of American labor-pro
vided labor leaders ari" wise und don't
press their demands o an unreason
ablo extreme. If they keep their heads,
and pr< serve their moderation, with
out sacrificing,principles, the present
feru of prosperity may piuco Ameri
can labor permanently on a new, high
er plane of comfort and uigulty.
It isn't only munitiotiH that are
swelling the volume of American ex
port trade. Food has even moro to
do with our new prosperity than
powder and hhellH. Take cheese, for
example. Jn may, 1?I14, we exported
$26,000 worth of cheese. In May of
thia year wo exported $1,818,000 worth
and thc figures aro still rising.
VON BERNSTOKFl'N SERVICE.
It's hard to make a fair estimate of
Count von IJornntorff, the German am
bassador at Washington. Just as thc
American public has about decided
that he's a statesman, a gentleman
and a frelnd, he up and does some
thing to make himself persona non
grata. And then, when the public is
ready to shout for his recall, he shows
unexpected sympathy and understand
ing and renders us a genuino service.
Tho ambausador seems 'to be a mix
turo of desirabe diplomatic qualities
and of other qualities whl'oh, from our
standpoint at least, are very undesir
able. In thc past year be has swung
between two extremes. One is rep
resented by "Citizen Genet." the
French ambassador whom President
Washing- n dismissed because of his
unneutrul activity against England.
The other Is represented by James
Bryce, who as British ambassador to
America rendered invaluable service
to both his own country and ours,
?through wisc statesmanship and ir
reproachable conduct.
. Last "year Count von Bernstorff
aroused great indignation by his un
concealed and apparently improper
encouragement or the pro-German
propaganda in the United States. But
when tho Lusitania crisis came, he
seems to have labored sincerely to
avoid a rupture and enable the Ger
man government to understand the
American sentiment. That effort,
though fruitless, swung public opinion
in bis favor again.
Then th? newspaper revelations of
the secret German propaganda once
more directed unfriendly attention to
the ambassador, and ho was shown to
havo been engaged In activities which
many newspapers and public mon de
clared to Justify his dismissal. But
suddenly, with tito occurrence of tho
Arabic crisis, when our relations with
Germany had reached the most se
rious stage of all, von Hornstorf? ap
plied himself unreservedly to the task
of converting Berlin to tho American
point of view. And to the astonish
ment of tho world. Germany proceed
ed to reverse itsoif and bring tts naval
warfare within the law.
Presldont Wilson, of coarse, has
been the chief actor in the drama, *s
the spokesman of this nation. Eut
Ambassador von Bernstorff has been
an able and adlmtrsble collaborator.
For what he has accomplished even
his bitterest critics cannot refuse him
praise.
There are no more Japs in the
American navy. They used to be em
ployed in great nun?' era as stewards,
valets and moss attendants. Now their
pisces are taken by Filipinos and
negroes. Nothing much hss been said
about the change, and lt isn't neces
sary to say much. The fact speaks
for itsef. The Japs are all right tn
their place-but their place Isn't on
.American warships.
THE JEWS.
Invariably when we hear anyone
refer contemptously to the Jews, aa
such, we aro reminded of the Immor
tal' words ot that former Premier of
the B'ttlsh dominions, tho virtual sov
ereign of that vast empire. Benjamin
Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield, who,
when taunted once in Parliament with
being s Jew, rose and answered, "Yes,
I sm a Jaw, but let me remind the
honorable gentleman that when hts
ancestors were savages on the banks
of the Thames mine-were princes In
Solomon's temple!"
And then, too, we are reminded ot
tbs fact that Hs ?ho waa spiked to
thu Cross of Calvary waa born ut u
^lowish mother and wa? to all In
tents and purposes a Jew.
Hising ubove individual likes and
dislikes, let us ask ourselves If it ls,
or ever has been, consistent for Chris
tians to despise thc people who gave
to us our patriarchs, our prophets,
our Hible, our religion and our Sav
ior. Nearly nineteen centuries have
come und gone since Jesus Christ
was put to his death by a mob. Sure
ly it ts time for ills teachings of
.charity and the brotherhood of tuan
to prevail among His followers.

"We aro getting along splendidly."
3tated Mr. A. |S. Farmer yesterday
morning when asked as to thc pro
gress of the making of asbestos yaru
at the Coneross Twine mill. "That
man fro: Philadelphia, who is an
expert ?long this line of business, has
helped us to get the kinks and knots
ou't of the machinery and within ten
days or two weeks we expect to be
running all of our mill. You see thc
mill is divided into Ave sections of
machinery and at present we are
working on one section. When we
get it started right it will abt take us
long to put all of the rest in shape.
When all sections are started to run
ning wo expect to turn out. about 1,
500 pounds of the finished product

The regular monthly meeting of the
county commissioners will be held
Tuesday. There is no business of
special Importance to come before the

The seventy-five winners of Utei
corn club contests in the different
counties of the .state, who have Just]
completed (their short course at Clem
son Agricultural college, made a total
of 5,613 bushels of corn last year at
a cost of 32 cents per bushel. This is
Indeed making corn at a very low
price and one that most farmers In?
South Carolina would like to know
about in order that they might do j
likewise.
Charlie McKenzie, one of the win-j
nora in Jasper county whose pottof
flce address is Tillman, probably has
the world's r cord In one way. Last
year he plowed an ox and made 76
bushels ot corn on one acre at a cost
fit 19 cents per bushel. It seems that
there is nothing like trying when lt
vcomes to raising corn In this state.
John Fleming of ML Pleasant, Char
leston county, was thc champion boy
club corn grower In South Carolina
last year, having made 170 bushel? ot
[corn on one acre at a cost of 25 cents
per bushel.
Mr. S. M. Byars ls one of the busiest
men In the county at this time. Kvery

farmers who are preparing their soil
tor the sowing of alfalfa and other fall
fraps. In addition to this he receives
many inquiries as to what to do re- 3
gardlng all kinds, of sick animals and
also plant diseases.
; As yat Mr. Byars has not mixed np [
any of his replies to the letters he i
calved as once did an editor of a fawn j
?paper who attempted to answer all 1
kinds of questions regarding sick
children and law suits ot Various j
kinds.

ABSYNTHE IS DYING
HURD DEATH IN FRUNCE
Many Cafe's Serving Imitation
Which Closely Resembles
Genuine Article.
Paris, Aug. 27.-(Associated Press
Correspondence)-Absinth is dying
hard in France. Artificial drinks re
sembling it In color and flavor-aro ob
tainable in spite of the vigilance ot
the authorities, and ft is even assort
ed that stocks of the real beverage on
hand at the date of the prohibition,
and paid for by the government, are
finding, their way to the consumer.
Numerous new d?coction? have also
been putt on the market to replace it.
Thc traffic is encouraged by an un
looked for resistance to anti-alcoholic
legislatejn in parliament.
The wineshop plays in French poli
tics ti role similar to that of the Amer
ican . ' ~on, hence the reluctance of
the . nies to follow tho military
anti nies in the radical measures
they have taken and to support tho
government in proposed legislation
forbidding thc sale of any drink test
ing over 1G degrees of alcohol. The
first open resistance was in the form
of an appeal to Ute State Council from
the orders of military commanders,
prohibiting the sale of intoxicating
drinks in their regions. They declar
ed- it woe not th conformity with thc
laws of 1849 governing tho working
martial law. Tho State Council up
held- tho orders of (the military com
manders.
The next step originated in the par
liament itself, in the proposed limi
tation or martial law to the zone of
operations of the armies. Pressing
waa brought to bear upon the press
and upon parliament by tho National
Union of Wholesale and Retail Wino
and Liquor dealers, who threatened
to withdraw advertisements from tho
newspapers, and political support
from the deputies unless the anti
liquor campaign were stopped. The
big d'stlllers further complicated the
situation by drawing the private dis
tillers in. The private distillers in
some departments exert the same In
fluence upon politicians as the city
wineshops. Their interests aro not
the same as ?those of the professional
distillers, but the menaces to their
fjrivilege have obliged them to Join
hands with reslslting elements.
Mnosleur Joseph Reinach, one of
the leading temperance advocates, de
clares that lt will be Impossible to
abrogate the abolition of absinth. On
the other hand tho Radicals and Dad
Ical Socialists, the .most consid?renlo
group of tho chamber, numbering 171
out of a total of 612 members, show a
disposition to oppose the government
in,the reforms proposed. The propos
ition tr? terminate tho regime ot mar
tial law In the rear of the field of op
erations originated with them. To
them, also, ls attributed pressure
brought to bear upon minister oi the
interior ajalvy 4o suspend administra
tive measures restricting the sale Of
alcoholic beverages.
The general public takes little in
terest; in the controversy, having tak
en the prohibitive measures with good
grace. In the workingmen's districts,
particularly, the aosence of absinth ls
little deplored and tempor?neo advo
cates declare that If the radical ele
ments of Ute chamber oppose the re
form, they will have once more mis
understanding public opinion and have
made one more blunder.
