North Believes lu South's Crops. Evidently some of th? northern con cerns doing- a big business appreciate the fad that the South must have some financial assistance in hadling the cotton crop. A salesman for the International Shoe Company '.vus in Anderson yesterday and while here he received a letter from hi* house saying that they were preparing to buy 1,000 bub's of colton ut 10 cents per pound and might later increase that number if it became possible. This represents an outlay of about 550,000 on the part of the shoe man ufacturers hut goes to show that the people of the north arc willing to help ?ml also that they know full well cotton will eventually go up lu price. Long Search For Children. The two little children of Mr. and Mrs. V. M. Barnes, after being sent to Sunday school at St. John's Meth odist church last Sunday morning, dis appeared. When the hour arrived for the children to return and they could not be located, a search was instituted and at 4:30 o'clock the Barnes chil dren, together with two other young- { utera, were located at the rear of J. H. Hutchinson's home In North An derson. It is presumed that tfce par ty proved so congenial that the child ren did not take note of the passage of time but their parents were badly worried before the "runaways" were found. Many Went . To the Show. Tho trains leaving the city yester day afternoon carried a large number of Anderson people, bound for Green ville. Te local people went to attend the performance of Al G. Field's Min strels, which is the first show that Greenville has had this season.

"Here's Ours Where's Yours V Passers-by stopped yesterday at the plant of the Anderson Coca-Cola com pany and gazed with considerable pleasure on what they saw in the window of that popular plant.

Hamer, manager of the Ander son Coca-Cola company, yesterday morning purchased the bale .of cotton for 10 cents per pound and he saya Hint buying the bale gave him much pleasure as it did the man from whom it was Recured, lt is a matter to be 1 regretted that there are not several hundred more such men in Anderson.

Since the announcement was pub lished a few days ago that Anderson may build a grain elevator here with in the near future, the chamber of commerce has had hundreds of ques tions to answer in regard to an eleva tor. Secretary Whaley yesterday re ceived a number of letters from peo ple manufacturing machinery for these elevators and all of them offered their service-.; in helping the Anderson undertaking to start up business. While nothing definite has been accomplish ed as yet, it is believed that the pres ent plans may mature and may result] in Anderson taking such a step. A "State" Writer IR Coming Here. A letter was received in Anderson yesterday from the Columbia State, In which the newspaper advised that Al bert C. Oliphant, one of the best wri ters of the staff, will be sent to Anderson on September 30 for the purpose of procuring matter relative to this city for publication in a mam moth special edition of the 'Columbia newspaper, which is to appear at an early date. The Anderson chamber of commerce will lend all possible as sistance in the preparation of this matter and it is believed that Ander son will show up to good advantage. Police Say Work Is Hard. The "traffic policemen in Anderson, or rather the officers stationed at Earle and Whitner streets to carry out the duties ot a traffic cop, say that they are having hard work In teach ing, the people of the city to drive and ride to the right. The people in An derson have been accustomed to driv ing bn either side of tho street or in the middle for that matte Tor such a length ot time that it hard for them to grow accustomed to the change. * However, the difference ls quite noticeable, there being much less congestion of traffic along Main Btreet. * * Interurban Met With Accident. A car on the Piedmont and Northern line railroad was delayed in the city yesterday morning for over an hour. The car left the station on Main street promptly at 11:35 but when it reach ed the switch at Tribble street the rear car failed to make the turn and started up Main street instead of down Tribble street as it was supposed to go. The coupling was broken and the car slightly damaged. It took over an hour to get the damage re paired aud the cars straightened out again for the rest of the run. Parlor Cars Still Lacking. Notwithstanding the fact that defi nite announcement had been made by the Piedmont and Northern line rail way to the effect that the parlor cars would go into use over their Unos on Sunday, it was found impossible to inaugurate tho service on that dato. The cars already have arrived In Spartanburg but a few fittings yet re main to be added, but they will ar rive and be installed within the next few days and then the long expected service will begin. Costs Money Now to Walk. Keeping astride with everything else to eat and wear, shoe salesmen spending yesterday in Anderson said that shoe prices had jumped and Jumped again since the war started in the foreign countries. The price is now 10, 15 and 20 cents per pair more than a few weeks ago and indications are that they will continue to advance. The explanation of this lies in the fact that 70 per cent of the uppers on shoes come from Hus Bia and natur ally the supply has been appreciably curtailed within the last few weeks. Another Car Itt Repainted. Another one of Anderson's street cars appeared yesterday, morning re mienden in a coat of new paint. The car to be repainted was the Orr Mill College place car and it excited con siderable comment when it made its first run.

Perhaps it is .but lt is a vory bad habit and one that every persan should break away from. Some try to justify themselves on the ground of moderation, but a moderate .?vonrrr ls like a moderate drinker-he sets a bad example to others. We .read In God's holy book, that "No man liveth unto himself and no man dieth unto himself; therefore we are brothers and we are our brothers' keepers. I knew a father whose little son came running along with other boys, using profane language and the father rushed up to him and punished him severely, at the same time swearing if he ever heard him use such lan guage again he would give him an even greater punishment. Why. the little fellow could not be blamed, he was only following his father's exam ple, and if a father swears he has nd right to blame his little boy for swear. lng; If h? drinks he has no right to blame his little boy for drinking, and if he Ia evil and sinful he haa no right to blame his little boy for doing what be, himself, ls doing. The father should not complain since tho little fellow ls only following In the foot steps of his own father. I heard of A father who v?T walking through deep snow and he heard a vole '?'?Mad him saying: Father. I am walking in your footsteps, I will soon catch up. Fathers and mothers, do not se-- anything or do anything or go anywhere that you would be ashamed of your children following in your footsteps! Some of us are so selfish in this respect we do not seem to think that tt matters aa long aa wo ourselves are having a good time. History tel ia us of ? coun try where nearly everybody awore. Her statesmen swore while making the laws of the nation, the lawyer swore while pleading hts client's case In thc courts, tbn judge while he was pronouncing sentence upon the crim inalfi awore, the employer swore at the employe and the employe answer, ed back with the same class of adjec tives. The church members were not very much better than some oth?t* classes, either. They went to church In the morning and partook of the holy communion, and oh - the way home, at the least provocation, they would swear, and lt is oven said that the clergy swore also. Now, thia waa t an awful condition of affairs in so. ciety. in the state and in the commu nity, and no on,, paid much attention to lt,ima in a certain college there waa a few clean young men. encouraged by God-fearing and God.honored started a campaign for clean speech and clean living, and iii a few years the vocabulary of thc ualion waa changed, a new song was In their mouths and they were ' praising the name of the Lord 'with clean hearts, pure minds and clean speech. During the great Welsh revival a few years ago, for many months you could not hear a profano word on the public streets in Wales. Everybody was talk ing about the great revival. Everybody seemed to be Interested In that which waa Interesting thousands of minors. The miners were a godless kind nf men. They wero very profane in all their speech and lt is said that when tbn great light of God shone Into their hearts and when twenty thousand of these men came up to the different churches in Wales 'and asked for ad mission, all Wales was stirred as never before. It is said that even the horses were terribly puzzled becauae the men no longer drove them by ob scenity and kicks. They had not yet learned the new vocabulary. John Bunyan was so profane that when he began to swear his companions shud dered, but when Bunyan found "The Christ he lost tbo swearing habit and became an immortal dreamer. When a man becomes thoroughly converted he .quits swearing and cursing, ' He soon learns that profanity and pure speech do not go together well. When the Lord God gave to Moses the Tbn Commandments, cn? of them was Thou shalt not take the name of tho Lord, thy God, in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.' When men. learn to know God they will only speak His name with reverence, tn tho spirit of true worship. The. Ten Command ments are a revelation of God Himself, of His character, Hts will, and His relation to mankind. He claimed au thority iii the earliest times, and He still dalma authority. God says, "Ye shall not swear, by My name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name ol tho Lort!, thy Cod." Again; the word spoke by tba prophet Jeremiah, saying, "?ecause of swearing tho. .. .' ? ' . v ..-...:';-, v - .? .1 ...?(.., - .. ,"i ; v .-ro'.... i's. .. - - r*;-. .' . * land fi iou me th," All through the Gcvlp turee we are commanded not to blas pheme the name of the Lord. W.? learn from James that even profess ing Christians get into the habit bf profanity. He says, Out of the samp mouth pr?vcc?eiii blessing - and cura Ing. My brothers, these things ought not to be. When our thoughts ai* cloan, our lives wilt most certainly be clean. You say w? are in a free country. You stand at the postoffide when the people are going in and out with' their, mail and you begin to curse and swear at every paauei l>y and how long do you suppose the pun. Ile would put up with, such profanity." Long beforp sunset you would find yourself in the 'cobler/ the place pm vided for such characters. Let Us visit the public schools, and our principal startB In cursing and swearing In the presence of the pupils and using all \ manner of foul and filthy language. We lmmfdlately go to the.) school boards, and have that man removed from his office. We would not, as n state, tolerate lt, for such a man could not ba called a good .citizen. The state would not allow a cursing and swear, lng judge to sit on the bench or permit the blaspheming attorney to plead ? - case In the courts. The church and state today are united In the work of building character and everywhere people are asking, "Glvfl us men ci? clean speech.' ' ' J The man of unclean lip? today q* called a "vulgar man," add' there ?P no place for such a man in ooclatft. Every door of culture Is shut tn thu face of the man, who says, "I will do aa I please." If he does, he must pair an awful price; ho will have to forfeit good society,; and -ill have to forfeit his companions that are. elevating in themselves . and Uplifting, bCcauafj such will not be tolerated. Nothing ia moro offensive-to the-cultivated ear than the coarse profanity that ? heard about the'at ree t. A trap gentle man never swears.
