PROFANITY Several I linen recently, we have been disgusted at foul-mouthed. wicked young while imff spewing out sluices of profanity on Hartsvllle street* : seemingly without regard as to wheth er men, women, ar ehihlmti must he?r their hell-lM>rn ulternnces. Perhaps ? hey ^ think its smart or witty.? But d??e?i <?<d ami decent people Ihhik so? We seldom ever hear a negro curse ??r swear. Are i hey not bolter In prin ciple than some of our conceited. oor rnpt hearted while men? Of all t lie -ins a vile man can commit, curbing is without douhl the most unprofitable gulping down t he ""devil's hook with out it even being hailed. In all the world's 1.4 story has pro f.inity ever benefitted any human he iiiir a> much as one cent? No. not one. Mauty of man's sins brings him a teni|Mtrary material heneflt. or a tem porary physical pleasure: even though fearful penalties await hlin. But the benefits of profanity: what are they? I .oss of respect ability ; disgust. and eoutompt. Profanity is not only wieked. but real dirty, proceeding from an uu eiean ' heart. It not .only shock* re llgotls people, but disgusts decent peo ple to luvir it belched out. The young man who wishes t . ? site ceed in life must take advantage Of ??very tiling that Is liptl ft iiiir and will ! < M' him on And swearing w ill 1m> :? ?N'trluieiil to biio in any j<>h he may \ ivll I ' > oht II ill If 1m- w is! e< to a <?<??!
